Tsubasa Yuunagi has posed:
It's a warm and windy day in the park - the perfect day for a kite festival! Attendance was fairly large, with several colorful kites in the skies, those that are handled by professionals are more intricate, including one that appears to be a large dragon that is being majestically moved about on the current of the skies, undulating to the constantly changing air pressure that flows around it.

On the ground, there's also small stations for children to learn how to make and fly little kites of their own. As they make the kites from rice paper and bamboo sticks, Tsubasa Yuunagi is at one of the tables, showing them how to tie the strings and get them up into the air to take flight. A warm smile touches his features as he works with the elementary students.

There's also some teens that are both volunteering and helping with the kites - picnics are scattered into a designated area and are being enjoyed, there's a food cart and drink cart. Everyone just seems to be having fun because who wouldn't want to fly a kite?

Hitomi Kobe has posed:
    A warm and windy day, and who doesn't like kites? Everyone likes kites. There's songs about them, movies, even a broadway show about kites and the people who fly them.

    And where there are festivals, there's street foods, and Hitomi Kobe, heiress to the Kobe Family street cart fleet (once she regains her family's honor by getting her vengeance on the person who brought them low!) really does have a love for street food. She has three skewers in one hand -- one with squid, one with chicken skins and one with savory dumplings, and kakigori in the other, with a taiyaki (the adorable fish-shaped cakes with the red bean paste) in her mouth as she hums, making her way to some cleared space to watch the kites flit and fly around.

Kureha Senkenzan has posed:
    Kureha Senkenzan would most assuredly want to fly a kite. But her minder for the day is, unfortunately, Yozakura, which means that the young lady will not be partaking of any frivolous pursuits. After an incident last year involving an escaped bear, Kureha's father has been leaning a little on the zoo, and the young lady is present today to receive a formal apology. The apology has already been given, so for the time being, the Radiant Heart student and her attendant are simply walking on the way back towards their vehicle. However, Kureha decides that just this once, she'd like to assert herself.

    "Yozakura. I would like to stop for yakitori. Surely father would have no objections to partaking at a street festival?" The woman blinks down at her charge, then looks around briefly, then inclines her head just slightly. "I suppose that would be acceptable. That one there should suffice, milady." It's a rare victory, and Kureha will absolutely take it.

Iona Hikawa has posed:
When the news about the Kite Festival had started spreading, Iona had made sure to keep a note about when the festival would be occurring. Why? Because she had never actually learnt how to make a kite, and this is the perfect opportunity to remedy that. She has been watching tutorials over and over on her own so she is not completely unprepared, but if questioned one thing she would say on the matter: that a watchful eye nudge you towards success is the best way to learn.

Though, the reason Iona has been so motivated about learning the craft of kite-making isn't for the sake of learning itself: rather it's to present Hime with a gift of her own next time she meets her. And her imagination supplying her with a vision of Hime's happy smile at seeing a good kite is probably why she has been able to steadily move towards more and more intricate kites at record speed. It certainly makes her heart soar the same way the kite will later.

Tsubasa Yuunagi has posed:
A failed heiress that has found business doing well today! People love street food and sometimes have short memories when it comes to the scandal that laid low the Kobe family dynasty - but there are those that have avoided the carts, hence the reason why Hitomi continues her lonely quest to seek vengence in her family's name!

As Kureha is making her way towards the food stands, a kite comes crashing down at her feet. It's a colorful thing with hand-drawn flowers and birds and the girl that was flying it comes running over. "I'm sorry!" she pants, as the girl, maybe all of five, is stooping to pick back up the kite. "It didn't hit you, did it? Do you want to fly one? They're making them over there!" She points over to where Tsubasa is working, a quick smile before she scampers off to head towards the other kids that are flying their little kites.

Glancing over where Iona is working on her kites, Tsubasa smiles a bit, "Looks like you are really enjoying this!" he offers to her. "You're making a lot of kites. That's neat."

Into this idyllic scene comes a large figure that lands in the middle of the field, throwing up grass and dirt. Rising up from the crater that was created is a creature - overly large and purple, it appears to be a bipedal pig with a large purple mohawk and a black gem in the middle of his forehead. Wearing a black crop top that shows a large purple outie belly button with brown jeans and black spiked bracelets. As he snorts, he looks around and points at Tsubasa. "You! You know where the Princess is! Hand her over, or I will show you my strength!"

Tsubasa blinks, looking confused, but not because he doesn't know who this is. "Elle-chan's not here, Kabaton! What are you doing here?"

"You lie! And I will make you tell me where she is so I can kidnap her!" And with that, he slams a fist into the ground. "Rise, Undergu Energy!" Dark energy erupts from the ground, and warping up, grabs the large dragon kite and it is transformed - opening yellow eyes and announcing as it becomes a floating creature that looks a lot more like a large dragon, with wings and claws and teeth. "Ranborg!" it announces loudly and swoops down, sending the crowd into a panic and running away.

Kureha Senkenzan has posed:
    With impressive reaction times, Kureha's hand whips out to her side, halting Yozakura and ensuring the kite hits neither of them. The taller woman looks as if she's about to be irritable, but the young lady takes the lead before she can do so. "We're fine. It's a very pretty kite. Make certain you treasure it." She doesn't comment on whether she wants to fly one, instead letting the little girl scamper off.

    By the time things go sideways, Kureha has already acquired her skewers of yakitori - and, while Yozakura is distracted by something, dumping a few drops of some sort of sauce on them. She quickly stashes the bottle away again, and- oh. Oh no. Now, of all times.

    Yozakura instinctively moves a bit closer to her charge, with an irritable, "If this is a show, it's in extremely poor taste. What kind of mascot is th-" Before she can finish the thought, there's a dragon kite, and she's getting ready to bolt. "Milady, we are leaving-!" Thinking quickly, Kureha replies, "The envelope the zoo gave me, I've dropped it! I'll just go back for it," and disappears into the crowd.

    A small handful of seconds later, a horned girl in a fire-patterned kimono hops up to the top of a lightpost, staring out at the dragon and pig with hands folded elegantly together. "Good afternoon. I am afraid I must ask you to leave this park immediately. You're causing a scene."

Hitomi Kobe has posed:
    It was all going nicely. She was down to a single skewer and her superior-to-all-other-icees treat when there's the inevitable trouble brewing.

    Hitomi opens her mouth, and then there's the slam of a fist to the ground. Her eyes go wide, and she takes some steps backwards, dropping the kakigori as she reaches into her jacket.

    "Run -- /RUN/. Get behind something big and keep your heads down!" she calls out.

    Hitomi physically lifts a kid and has a tail of a koi kite behind her as she bodily leaps a park bench and drops him behind it.

    And then she raises her hand up.

    "Mystic Saiboshi to me -- Let's /cook/!"

    and when the light dies down, brown-haired, brown-eyed Hitomi Kobe is gone, and replaced with CULINARY GUARDIAN KUSHIAGE!

Iona Hikawa has posed:
Iona looks up from her current kite - an azure and white swallowtail butterfly - she smiles back at the boy that has approached her, her hand stopping just as she was applying a ribbon at the center of the butterfly's body. "It's actually quite fun. I am quite invested, this is supposed to be a surprise for my girlfriend", she explains to him, proudly showing him her current progress.

She quite likes the atmosphere of this festival, and Tsubasa is a testament to the friendliness of the situation. Which makes the frown of Iona's face all the deeper when a pig-guy wants Tsubasa to point him to Elle-chan, and then makes dark energy spike to turn a dragon kite into his minion. "Ranborg? Undergu?" she says, puzzling over the new terms while she finds a place to transform.

In a quick movement, the 3/4 of the butterfly kite is placed in a secure box, and Iona gets to her feet and runs to the place she chose, an abandoned drinks stand. Standing behind it, she lets the pure energy of the Pretty Change Mirror wash over her, donning the form of Cure Fortune. "Only laughter should soar in the sky!", she tells Kabaton after jumping in front of him. "I am the star of hope that glitters in the night sky, Cure Fortune! I will show you the vileness of tainting the joyful sky!"

Tsubasa Yuunagi has posed:
As the park goers are listening to the instructions and leaving - it'll be blamed on a sudden rain squall later - it seems that the heroes are starting to arrive! First, the horned girl that is demanding that Kabaton leaves, which causes him to laugh. "You're not strong enough to make me leave!" he calls out to her in a mocking tone. "Noone is!"

The boy that Hitomi rescues and hides behind a kite gives her a grateful smile before running to find his parents. This allows Hitomi the chance to henshin and when there is someone showing up dressed like a chef, the large pig belly laughs. "What, you going to threaten to skewer me?" he asks of Kushiage. This makes him snort laugh, "I guess I will be bringing home the bacon!" AH HA HAA HA PIG SNORT HA HA!

The dragon ranborg is brought into play as it lands between Kabaton and the would-be heroes as it roars loudly, "Ranborg!" A blast of dark energy is released from his throat, aimed at KUSHIAGE - while with a power beat of it's wings, it's trying to create a whirlwind to blow away ONIHIME (not to be confused with Princess Hime).

As Iona arrives and leaps in front of Kabaton, the obese creature laughs, "Cure Fortune? It is your MISFORTUNE that you are here in front of me!" he calls out, snorting another pig laugh as he suddenly steps back, winding up a ham-fist to bring down to try to punch away the Pretty Cure!

While all this is going on, Tsubasa is watching in shock for a moment. Why is Kabaton here? Why does he think Princess Elle is here? Where's Sora and the others? No time to think hard on it, he should help. And finally, he reaches into his pocket for the Mirage Pen.

Tsubasa Yuunagi has posed:
Grabbing the Mirage pen, Tsubasa presses a small button on it, announcing, "Sky Mirage!" The crystal of the pen splits in half, opening into a small orb. In the meantime, he grabs a small disk with three small wings and clicks a button on the side of it, announcing, "Tone Connect!" As the orb starts to spin and light up, Tsubasa calls out, "Hirogaru Change!" And a moment later, "WING!"

A hair clip appears on the left side of his head, as his hair changes style, a long ponytail appearing as his hair becomes brighter orange in color and his ahoge becomes smaller, making both eyes visible. Finally, the orange precure magic over his feet turn into orange boots with yellow 'claw' designs. As that finishes, Cure Wing starts the next part of his transformation.

"Sparkling HOP!" As Cure Wing hops from magical disc to disc, a small canted top hat appears on his forehead, along with a double-sphere magenta earring on each ear, the left ear also marked with an orange heart.

"Refreshing STEP!" The orange magic over his chest transforms into his outfit of shirt, shorts, vest and long, birdlike coat-tail.

"Clear and Sunny JUMP!" As the magic over his hands transform into gloves, Cure Wing leaps into the air, taking off into a figure eight and into a barrel roll before landing on the ground. He gives a wink and a bright smile before saluting with the left hand across his forehead to his right eye. And then he announces himself "Courage that soars to the heavens!"

Hitomi Kobe has posed:
    "Iie -- I hate fighting pigs." Kushiage complains as she spins her skewering spear about, and then she shifts hr strategy -- there are now so many magical young people on scene, and as the botched boar turns his attention, and Wing makes his appearance, the culinary dragoon goes on the attack. She hop-steps to a light pole, and then takes to the sky, up among the remaining and fleeing kites and half-hidden by the sun above. A few ornate spear movements and suddenly the smell of hot oil fills the air around them, coating tongues.

    "Your Butt's gonna be Pulled Pork! HIGH TEMPERATURE OIL SPLASH!" she bellows out, trying to fry the pig!

Kureha Senkenzan has posed:
    "'Not strong enough'? Onihime echoes, one eyebrow arching up slightly. "What an amusing choice of words."

    Lightly, gracefully, the horned young woman hops off the lightpost, landing with a soft clack of geta on the sidewalk below. She reaches up and gives her hair a casual flip, then folds her hands together. "Youkai Musume, Onihime. Mine is the blood of Mount Ooe. I invite you to re-evaluate my strength after I have demonstrated it for you."

    The massive gust of wind blasts into Onihime and she simply... takes it. No shielding her face, no sliding back along the sidewalk, she simply stands there and lets a wind that could likely knock over vehicles just... blow past her. Unruffled, the kimono-clad young lady crouches herself down just slightly - and then the sidewalk underneath her shatters as she pushes off with superhuman might. It sends her hurtling straight past the others present, foot-first towards the Dragon Kite Ranborg with enough force to knock a freight train off its tracks, and in theory, the kick is aimed to just launch the monster right towards Kabaton.

    Only on landing does she glance to one side, spotting the newly-transformed Cure Wing. "You there. One of those... Cures? Is there anything I should know about the pig or the dragon? Particular tactics to use, mistakes to avoid?"

Iona Hikawa has posed:
"The star of hope shines through any misfortune, Babaton", Cure Fortune quips back to Kabaton, at the same time keeping an eye on the dragon. She raises an eyebrow when the pig decides to make things personal with her of all people, but luckily Onihime and Kushiage are here to take care of that, who gets a wave in the second she has before dedicating herself to the battle.

She briefly wonders if she is being focused on because she is a Precure like that other one that just appeared, but she can find answers for that later though, as the punch is answered in kind, not at all minding the difference in size between her and her opponent. If that one is blocked, she tries another punch, enhanced by the explosive fire of her Fortune Star Burst.

"Welcome, Cure Wing!", she greets the newcomer. "Is this Undergu guy your enemy?" Somehow, there is always an adversarsarial pair like that.

Tsubasa Yuunagi has posed:
As the dragon's attack is tanked by Onihime, there's a shocked look on Kabaton's face. "You should at least be a little hurt!" he complains, stomping up and down in a temper tantrum of frustration - just as Kushiage is coming in with the attack, sending hot oil flying his way, and the pig suddenly bounces on his butt and flies into the air in order to avoid the attack. "I'm not that easy to hit!" he pulls down his eyelid and sticks out his tongue at Kushiage as he comes back down to Earth.

"BABATON!? ARGH!" Apparently Kabaton is taking that personal! As the two are trading blows, the pig man grunts, having landing back on the ground with a grunt as he finds himself into a fight. "You're supposed to fight the ranborg first, didn't they teach you anything!" he says in a demanding and angry tone as he bounces away from the attacks.

The dragon, in the meantime, is facing it's own problem as Onihime is suddenly launched at it. She slams into it with superhuman force, which causes it to stumble backwards - but perhaps not as far as she had hoped as it roars to raise it's head, preparing to unleash a breath attack on the horned girl.

As he flies in with a burst of orange phoenix feathers, Cure Wing hears the question from the girl and glances down at her. "They're really strong!" he comments with a soft frown. "Like, stronger than kindabads. But I don't know why he's here - he's supposed to be in Sorashido City!" Taking a moment to think on it as he pours on the speed, flying towards the dragon as it prepares to breathe, he adds, "The ranborg can be purified! We just need to get it weakened and if someone besides me has a purifying attack, let me know!" A pause. "And... I'm Cure Wing. Nice to meetcha." With that, he slams into the chest of dragon, an attack that hits as hard as Onihime's, causing the dragon to stumble and it's breath attack is blown harmlessly into the air as a swipe from a claw knocks Cure Wing towards the ground with a small oof.

The dragon staggers, trying to impose itself between the heroes and Kabaton. "He's an Undergu general!" he calls out to Cure Fortune. "...they want to kidnap Princess Elle-chan and take over..." he can't really say Sky Kingdom, can he? "Sky Island!" There, that works. Maybe.

Hitomi Kobe has posed:
    The hot oil boils against the ground uselessly, as Kushiage grits her teeth at the surprisingly agile pig -- her head tilts a moment as she gives a curled-lip snarl to the immature gesture.

    He bounces down, and she follows through, hearing Babaton being called out as a name.

    "What's that? Your name is /Babaton/?" she asks out loud, and then turns her spear towards the dragon.

    "Ooch. That looks like it's gonna hurt." she reflects, looking regards the pig's other attacker and giving an up-nod, green eyes narrowing a moment before she turns her attention fully to the dragon.

    "Do you reckon deep-fried dragon just tastes like eel? Or turtle?" she questions, spinning her spear around and then launching herself at the dragon in question, moving to try and use her spear to pin one of its feet in place!

Kureha Senkenzan has posed:
    As the Ranborg stumbles back, Kureha lets some surprise show on her face. "My my. Tougher than it looks." She slides a foot back, and lifts her right hand out, spreading her fingers in a display of the crimson claws there; not so much a ready stance as a challenge, a few stray flickers of flame dancing around her hand. Then it unleashes a torrent of darkness, but before the horned heroine can brace, an assault from Cure Wing knocks the attack off-target. There's a brief side-glance at Wing again, and a grateful nod. "I have nothing of the sort, so I shall settle for weakening it until you can do so."

    As she steps in between Wing and the dragon, however, the oni speaks to the Ranborg directly. "I must say, though, as a dragon, you disappoint. That was missing something important."

    The oni girl's hand dips down as she runs, snagging a tipped-over concrete trash bin. Without missing a beat, she hauls it up and hurls it straight at the neck of the dragon - but after hitting it with a wallop of an opening kick, she's not expecting this to do much damage. Not on its own. No, she's just hoping a heavy blow to the neck will make it open its mouth.

    In anticipation, Kureha leaps a second time, flames dancing along her right arm as she comes up level with the dragon's face. "A dragon should breathe fire." A short-range plume of flames erupts from her thrown fist, a short-lived flamethrower, aimed straight at the dragon's face in hopes that its mouth will be wide open.

Iona Hikawa has posed:
"Listen, Babaton, there are four of us here", Fortune exclaims. "I have no doubt they are capable of taking care of your Ranborg, and you try punching me, I punch back. You won't kidnap anyone, and this is just a brief stop for the happiness you have interrupted." She bounces away from Kabaton, raising two Precards in her hand and transforming again. With the Fortune Tambourine now in her hand, Iona starts dancing and playing the percussive instrument, a magical space taking over while the dance tries to make the Ranborg and Kabaton sleep.

Wing starts explaining several things while the battle goes now, and that information is quite surprising to Iona for personal reason. She has never heard of Sky Island before now, after all, and with that name she wonders what Hime knows about that. The Blue Sky Kingdom had been taken over by the Phantom Empire. Are they in any way connected? Is Elle-chan Hime's sister? Has part of her family survived somehow? Are these Undergu generals in cahoots with Phantom? So many questions, so little time.

"My Stardust Shoot purifies too", Iona informs her new ally when he starts assessing the capabilities of this accidentally formed group of heroes. "I can either soften the Ranborg up for you, or purify it alongside you, just say the word!"

Tsubasa Yuunagi has posed:
One can see that purple skin of Kabaton turn from purple to red and the steam coming out of his ears. "Not here too! Kabaton! Not Babaton!" he roars, stomping about angrily. But at least in his anger, he's not able to try to attack to support the dragon ranborg as it's being attacked! Instead, he's too busy throwing a fit at being called the childish name - the same name he was bullied with when he was WEAK, WHICH HE IS NOT!

With Wing sweeping along the ground and turning to land next to Onihime for a moment, he was about to suggest that they attack together - when the horned girl instead opts to step in front on him and tells him to prepare his finisher. "Oh, sure!" he says. "Be careful!" he offers cautiously to the girl, rising off the ground to take flight.

In the meantime, KUSHIAGE'S spear slams into the dragon, staggering it as the Culinary Guardian rushes forward. The dragon swings out a wing to try to smack her away, but is just a moment too late as the spear is grabbed and driven downwards into the ranborg's foot, causing it to be held in place as the next attack comes in. This one is from ONIHIME as the rubbish bin is kicked with force at it, and slams into the same spot that Wing had managed to hit earlier. It raises it's head to roar in protest - just as Onihime leaps into the creature's maw as she leaps into it's mouth and releases a gout of flame, burning through the dark energy and causing damage as it roar-howls in pain.

Then as Cure Fortune starts to play her song, Kabaton shakes his head, yawning and struggling. "Ugh, why do I feel like I had the all-you-can-eat breadsticks..." he murmurs as he steps back. The dragon, on the other hand, is not so lucky, as he dips his head down and starts to snore, a little sleep bubble appearing from his nose. He's out cold for the moment, sawing limbs with his snore as Wing takes flight. "I'll soften it up, you purify!" he calls to Iona as he rises high into the air, and suddenly, flames explode around him as he rises in a streak against the setting sun before looping around and streaking towards the dragon, calling out, "SOARING WING ATTACK!"

He jets forwards, orange feathers falling from his as the flame shield around him is almost phoenix-like as he slams through the dragon, punching through it's chest and out it's back!

"Oh no!" Kabaton yells, realizing how much damage his creature just took and how weak the ranborg is now.

Kureha Senkenzan has posed:
    In another situation, Kureha would almost certainly fall back on one of her two proper finishers. Kanabo Straight would be particularly well-suited to softening the dragon up without destroying it. Douji Claw... maybe less so.

    But this is a situation where Onihime's strength has been called into question. And some corner of her mind can't help wanting to show off a little.

    Right on the heels of the Soaring Wing Attack, with a footfall rhythm that falls in double-time to Cure Fortune's beat, the Youkai Musume dashes in a second time. There's no makeshift projectile attack this time, no flying strike. No, if she wants to exert her strength in the most flashy way possible, there is only one thing she can do. As the tiny kimono-clad young lady charges in, she... drops low. Skids across the ground the last few feet.

    And slips her arms down below the body of the sleeping Dragon Ranborg.

    "HaaaaaaaAAAAA....!"

    Its entire mass lifts. Impossibly larger, incredibly heavy, it rises, up off the ground, lifted completely up and onto Onihime's shoulder. The tiny girl, lifting the massive monster for all to see. And with that tremendous weight carefully controlled, she locks eyes with Kabaton.

    "Well, Hippopotamus Pig? Are you still unimpressed?"

    Without waiting for an answer, Kureha drops a dragon suplex that shakes the ground.

Iona Hikawa has posed:
A setting sun at night? You best believe that's what happens when Iona's Creamy Dream and Tsubasa's Soaring Wing Attack mix with each other, the unusual phenomenon lasting all the time the purple Precure keeps dancing.

Things however return to normal when Iona stops after she sees that her objective has been achieved at least partially and the dragon ranborg has gone to sleep. Kabaton will probably retreat when his plan has been foiled. If he doesn't, well, they will be 4 to 1 then, so the chances they won't be able to contain the situation are quite slow.

Cure Fortune then nods when Cure Wing asks her to purify the Ranborg in his stead. He has done an impressive job himself with that Soaring Sky Attack, so she doesn't think there will be any problems with finishing the job, and even then, there is that harsh suplex from Onihime who certainly only makes it even worse for him.

"Light of the stars, turn into sacred power! Love PreBrace!", Iona exclaims as she raises the arm with Prebrace shining bright. After the dial on it is rotated, energy starts swirling around her fists as she moves them in circles, before turning into a star above her head as she raises her arms high. "Precure Stardust Shoot!"

With a simple swing of her arms, the star flies at speed towards the Ranborg, catching the youma into itself and purifying it. "Soooo relaxing!" it says before the purification does its job. "Stars, return to the Heavens!" Cure Fortune finally declares.

Tsubasa Yuunagi has posed:
As Oni decided that the best way to show her strength is to bodily lift a ranborg and slam it into the ground, Kabaton is staring, his mouth hanging over in shock at the small teen's display of power and strength. He's not the only one. Having recovered from his attack, Cure Wing is also floating in mid-air, not as much of a slack jaw, but is totally blushing with being impressed with Onihime's attack as well. "Wow." the Precure manages, a bit of wonderment at it all. He's sure that even Sora would have had a hard time pulling that one off!

Kabaton huffs loudly. "It's a kite! Not that heavy!" he's making excuses, as he turns just as Iona unleashes her purifying attack upon the ranborg.

As the purifying wave washes over the creature, it once again proves that it doesn't matter what name it goes by... ranborg, kindabad, terribad, whatever - they are all purified as the dark magic is washed away, and the dragon kite falls to the ground.

Kabaton growls. "I'll come back! And be even stronger!" comes the declaration. "You will not defeat me next time! I shall prove to be the strongest!" With that, he takes off running to flee the area quickly as Cure Wing sweeps down to land on the ground.

"That was amazing!" the young Precure says, smiling with warmth, his red eyes shining. "Everyone alright? It was great teamwork by everyone!"

Kureha Senkenzan has posed:
    Up comes Onihime in the wake of her suplex, brushing herself off and returning to her usual, graceful poise. The only response she has to Kabaton being a sore loser is to reach up and give her hair a casual flip once again. She's more concerned about the Ranborg getting purified - and purified it is, thanks to Cure Fortune. Her response to Cure Wing is a polite bow, before straightening up. "Thank you. I am quite fine. I would remain here for further information, but..." She turns slightly, glancing out at the crowd, then continues with a vague, "...I made excuses to disengage from company, and those excuses will not hold up long. I should be going."

Iona Hikawa has posed:
"Shame on you for trying to kidnap someone!", Iona yells at Kabaton when his Ranborg is purified. Not that it really matters even if he could feel ashamed, because he predictably starts to take his leave soon after. At least they were able to solve this without ruining the kite, someone put so much effort into making it and entrusting their cheer to it. Just one more thing Kabaton is despicable for.

"Impressive work", Iona acknowledges in agreement with Cure Wing over everyone's teamwork. "We gave him a spectacle he won't forget anytime soon. I am sure he will think twice before trying to pull it off again. Then Onihime announces her departure. "Be well", Iona exclaims towards her before turning to Wing. "I am all right, and you? Those were some great flying maneuvers you had there, you know your stuff", she compliments him.

Tsubasa Yuunagi has posed:
When Onihime is getting ready to make her leave, Cure Wing returns her bow with one of his own. "You were really impressive!" he admits. And he is just about to ask the Oni for her contact information when his shyness talks himself out of it, and he instead gives a little wave. "...it was nice meeting you." he manages, before he realizes that Iona is speaking to him.

"Oh. I just... I've seen him before, back home. And now I feel kinda bad that he's here, because for some reason... I don't know what he's here." Maybe, at least he hopes, that maybe this means that Elle-chan and the others are on their way here. But that, he doesn't know for sure. "That was an impressive purifying attack, and you were really good on the tamborine!"

Iona Hikawa has posed:
The purple Precure bows her head slightly in thanks of the compliment Wing has reserved her, before gazing around to assess her surroundings, seeing the many abandoned kites that have survived their fight. At least people will be able to go back with a few of their joyous memories from this festival.

"The important thing is that nobody got kidnapped or hurt", Iona starts reassuring Tsubasa. "Do you have any idea if that Princess Elle you mentioned has sisters?", she brings up, remembering the odd similarity from earlier.

Kureha Senkenzan has posed:
    "And you as well," Onihime replies to Cure Wing, nodding her head slightly. "You were easy to work with. I can ask for little more." So saying, the Ogre Princess turns to leave... although her steps are perhaps a bit slow, leaving her in earshot long enough to hear the answer to Cure Fortune's question. She has some curiosity there as well.

Tsubasa Yuunagi has posed:
Watching Onihime leave, Cure Wing returns his attention back to Cure Fortune and considers the question. "I don't think Elle-chan has any sisters. None that I know of at least. But she's an infant, so I can't really ask her." he admits to her with a small shrug of his shoulders and looks around. "I hope everyone comes back for their kites. I'll be disappointed if they didn't."

A sigh of breath is offered, but then the flying Precure puts back on a brave smile, since it seems everyone is leaving. "I hope to see you around under better circumstance!" That offered to both of them as he lifts off the ground - no need for wings here, he seems naturally inclined to flight. "Until then!" And with that, he's flying off.

Iona Hikawa has posed:
Elle-chan is an infant!? Iona frowns instinctively when she learns that piece of info. "Putting an infant in danger... Kabaton is even worse than I imagined", Iona murmurs. She will have a few choice words next time they see each other.
