text - Canon Bump - Seiren's Fake Friend Plan Aftermath

You know, I really thought for a moment that Sakura... no, Seiren actually was...

I don't know how to put it into words but I think she was genuinely happy to be my friend. Those weren't fake tears she was shedding when she got upset at being outed as Sakura.

[Hibiki turned the scrunchie over in her hands as she stared morosely into the ground.] But... if she really, truly wanted to be my friend, and Hummy's once more... and maybe even Kanade's...

Could she really be...

No... that's silly. No... I'm just clinging to hope now really.

There's no way, our enemy could be a Precure.

Hojo-san... what happened? You're being a little confusing.

Sorry Setsuna, I was just... well, okay, here's the thing.

We have this enemy in our world, a cat-fairy named Seiren who can take the form of any person she wants to do, and mimic voices etc. She turned into a girl named Sakura and tried to get in good with us, and it worked. I really did like her. But when Hummy ousted her carelessly, she ran off, and, well...

It really looked like she was upset at not being able to be my friend anymore.

I... see. [Setsuna goes quiet for a moment as she takes all of this information in. What this Seiren tried was just a little too close to what she herself was doing, although she hadn't been discovered yet.] That sounds really awful.

But she's a... fairy? And your enemy? I'm sorry, I don't really understand that part at all.

It was.

... I'm a Precure, Setsuna. Cure Melody. Seiren tried to separate Kanade and I because being together activates our powers and allows them to be used. And yeah, she's a fairy apparently from Major Land but now works for Minor Land.

... [Scratch that, this was basically the same plan she had, except it was 'steal transformation item' rather than 'split up group'.] You're a... So that's why you know Cure Melody personally, you are her.

I'm really sorry this happened to you, Hojo-san. It really hurts to have your trust betrayed like that, right?

Yeah. Sorry for keeping it from you but it's been a rough few weeks lately.

It does. But, somehow I can see her reasoning for it. If she was to get really in close to me, then it would be a good point to why she was feeling like that.

It's alright, I understand. It's not really a secret you should tell to people you just met, after all.

Are you sure she really felt like that at all? It may have been a ploy to gain your sympathy. [Translation: Are you really this stupid?]

Yeah, I know. It just feels weird sometimes to tell people, and sometimes natural to do so.

I think so. I don't have a video of her or anything but... she genuinely looked heartbroken.

I guess it must have been more difficult since we're from the same world and all. You'd normally hide it from others from your own world, right?

Hojo-san... You're too trusting.

Yeah that's true. And I usually do that once in a while. It's weirder explaining it to people not in our world than it is in ours.

Heh... I might be. But at the same time, I can't help but trust in Hummy's judgment at times.

On the other hand, you have less to hide from people in other worlds, right? Since they wouldn't be familiar with either of your identities.

I don't know who this Hummy is, but he or she is too trusting as well, then. Too many people are...

That's true, and most people from our world are already heroes so that works.

Hummy's her best friend from Major Land. I guess it's one of those weird things that is going to drive me insane. Between trying to find the fourth, and hoping to confirm that Seiren's the blue one...

Most people, really? I figured all of them were normal, but... now I wonder if maybe I'm the only one who is.

Then maybe Hummy didn't know her that well after all. But... you think Seiren might be the next Precure of your team? Why?

There's a lot of people from our world so sometimes it's a mix up really.

Her eyes seemed very similar to the girl that was on our team.

I guess so. I haven't met all of them, so I really don't know.

Ah, you mean in that video of all the Precure? Sakagami-san's video, right? But Hojo-san, even if you think you saw her there, she is your enemy.

I'm sure you'll meet as many as you can soon.

Yeah, Ayumi's video. It's just a weird gut feeling I got to be honest, but I guess I'm just doing wishful thinking this time.

I hope so.

I think you are, yes. An enemy of Precure would never become a Precure herself. That's just impossible, I think.

Yeah. Just ask around, I'm sure you'll find more people.

Hmm... you think? I mean, there's been cases of opponents switching sides I think at least in the Super Sentai...

I'll try that, thank you. Um, if it's okay to ask... how did you become a Precure, Hojo-san?

People don't change that easily.

Well, when the attacks first began, Kanade and I harmonized, and the Heart Tone Keys materialized from our chests. From there, we were instructed to use the Fairy Tones in order to transform.

I suppose. Maybe I'm being a little too optimistic.

Heart Tone Keys? Do all Precure have those?

Well, it's good to be optimistic too, of course. But you just shouldn't get your hopes up, that's all I mean.

Not all of them. I think the Heart Tone Keys are unique to my team.

That's true. I should at least balance it out, look into this and try not to overstress myself.

Really? So are all Precure different, then?

It's very kind of you to want to befriend her, but if she's made up her mind then she won't switch sides.

Yeah, I think so. I don't think any two teams are alike.

I know, but I gotta see if something happens. With any luck, there is something I can do.

I thought they would be pretty much the same, since they're all supposed to be legendary warriors. But I guess it's more complicated than that.

I doubt it, but it's your call to make. Just don't let your guard down.
