Meanwhile, Gummy is stealing the Kirakiraru from the cakes in town.

As Ichika is about to open the door, she overhears Pekorin say that she is hungry for sweets. Ichika starts to look for some, but couldn't find any. She is hesitant to give Pekorin her failed cakes, but the fairy starts to eat them anyway. This inspires Ichika to try again.

As they line up for some ice cream after the song, two high school boys cut in front of them and Ichika and Himari are intimidated by them. However, Aoi steps in and tells them off before walking to the back of the line. The next day, Ichika is delighted to find out that Aoi is actually a student at the same junior high school as her, so when she tires to approach her in the library, she accidentally ruins Aoi's train of thought for her lyrics. However, Aoi doesn't mind as she thought they were bad lyrics anyway because they were so forgettable. She then goes on to tell Ichika that the lyrics are for the upcoming contest for new bands on Sunday so the two girls run down to the park to figure out some lyrics, only to end the day without any. So they go to buy some ice cream, however there is none left because they have surprisingly disappeared.

Aoi longs to perform in the contest so she can make an impression on her idol, Misaki Ayane, but she is worrying about her lyrics as she isn't quite sure how to make them stand out. On the roof top of the school, Ichika comes up and talks to Aoi, and despite Aoi telling her to go away, Ichika keeps on talking to her, pointing out that the clouds in the sky look like shortcake and cream puffs. Aoi glances up at the sky and is inspired to write some lyrics so she runs off, leaving Ichika confused for a moment, before realising that she could make a blue sky themed dessert for Aoi. So she goes to find Himari and they help each other make a blue sky themed lion ice cream.

It's finally the day of the contest and Aoi still doesn't have any lyrics. Her band members tell her that it's okay and that they can perform some other day when Ichika and Himari turn up with the ice cream. Aoi takes a bite and lyrics instantly come to her and tells her band members that she had lyrics that she will sing from the heart. So they head out onto the stage and just as they start performing, Hotto appears looking for ice cream that can cool him down.

Ichika and Himari quickly transform and try to stop Hotto by holding him in place with their pink and yellow cream ropes, but Hotto breaks free and tries to get the ice cream. At that moment, Aoi runs down from the stage and shouts at Hotto for interrupting her performance and for trying to steal the dessert her friends made for her. The ice cream starts to glow and turns into the Lion Ice Cream Animal Sweet, in which Aoi transforms into Cure Gelato. Gelato quickly manages to give Hotto a brain freeze allowing Whip and Custard to fight back and Gelato to quickly punch Hotto back into his normal fairy form. When everything is calm again, Aoi doesn't mind the fact that the concert might not be on anymore, but she still feels like singing. So she sings and everyone comes back to listen to her, including her idol, Ayane.

There, they find Aoi after she cheers loudly for Mariko. Mariko is thankful that the three girls turned up to watch her, so she gives them tickets for her upcoming recital. The girls are very happy about this that they decide to make homemade cream puffs to thank her.

When they start making the cream puffs, they realize it was rather hard to make. At first, the girls were positive that they would finally do it on their second attempt. But each time, they keep making the same mistake over and over and again, making the positive mood quickly become negative. When Ichika suggests they try again, Himari says she can't as she has cram school, and Aoi mentions that she has to go to band practice. They leave Ichika alone, who feels rather sadden over the outcome. As she leaves, Pekorin wakes up beside a sleeping Chourou wondering where the girls went.

After talking with Mariko, Ichika realizes that she can't just give up. Himari and Aoi have the same realization and quickly meet up with Ichika in front of the KIRAKIRA Patisserie. There, the girls work together by making their feelings become one as they get back to work to make the cream puffs. The results turn out to be really good and Ichika gets an idea to make the cream puffs even better. Meanwhile, Choucrea is craving more cream puffs but decides to wait till morning as he is too tired.

The next morning, the girls have decorated the cream puffs and are just leaving the patisserie when Choucrea arrives, stealing the Kirakiraru from Aoi and Himari's cream puff boxes, becoming stronger than before. Ichika hands her box to Pekorin and the three girls transform. The Cures realize that Choucrea is stronger than the past villains and decide to make their powers become one to protect the box Pekorin is holding. They do that and defeat Choucrea.

The next day, Ichika comes across Yukari again who finds herself liking Ichika's personality. Due to this, she takes Ichika to town to go shopping, try on clothes and other fun stuff.

Ichika notices that Yukari isn't enjoying herself after they look at the macarons, so Ichika invites her to make macarons at the patisserie. At the patisserie, Ichika, Himari and Aoi attempt to make the macarons but they just couldn't get them right. So Yukari decided to make the macarons herself, and did so easily.

However, the macarons didn't taste nice and the texture was a little odd. Yukari becomes a little frustrated and tries again, only to come back with cracked macarons.

At the same time, Akira comes out on her balcony and asks Ichika if she knows any shops that sells chocolate. Ichika asks Himari if she knows any, who quickly flips through a book until she finds the store.

Himari and the others decide to leave Ichika with Akira, who head out to the shopping district. Akira and Ichika make it to the store where Akira buys the chocolate and also lets Ichika pick one as a thank you present. Afterwards, the two are looking over the town when Akira tells Ichika that she wants to buy chocolate for her younger sister, Miku, who is hospitalized. However, Bitard appears and takes Akira's chocolates. Ichika dives into a nearby bush and becomes Cure Whip, but fails miserably in getting the chocolate back.

In order to celebrate Akira becoming part of the Pretty Cure team, Himari, Aoi and Ichika are making donuts for a tea party. Pekorin is overjoyed, as those are her favorite sweets. However, their donuts turn out awry, as they don't puff up and are too hard to be edible. This is Ichika's fault as she forgot the baking powder.

Their lively chatter makes Chourou reminisce of making sweets together with other fairies at Ichigo Mountain. Chourou decides to tell the Cures about the events that took place that caused the fairies to be scattered in all directions. A flashback shows many fairies in the workshop, happily baking and creating sweets together. Pekorin is shown to be prone to mistakes, just like Ichika, but the other fairies praise her positivity and tenacity.

The workshop is suddenly attacked by the Kirakiraru Thieves. They absorb the Kirakiraru from the sweets the fairies made, but Chourou uses his umbrella to pull it back. Due to Chourou's efforts and the Kirakiraru Thieves' attempts to steal it back, a massive ball of Kirakiraru forms between them. It explodes and the fairies are send flying.

Back in the present, Chourou's story makes Pekorin cry, as she misses her friends dearly and worries for their well-being. She flies away, and while chasing after her Ichika discovers a large, unused room. To comfort Pekorin, Ichika continues to make donuts and requests Pekorin to help her. Pekorin has no confidence in her own baking skills, but Ichika encourages her by recalling Pekorin guiding her through the process of making sweets during their first meeting.

They start by mixing together the ingredients, and Pekorin reminds Ichika to use baking powder for the donuts. Ichika chants the Kirakiraru spell like the fairies in the sweets workshop and Pekorin perks up and sings along with her. They are delighted when the donuts puff up well and Ichika decorates a donut to resemble Pekorin. They arrange the rest of the donuts in likeness of the workshop fairies, and Pekorin smiles and laughs again.

Pekorin decides she wants to bring the donuts to the abandoned workshop at Ichigo Mountain. When they set the plates down and Pekorin calls out for her friends, Ichika witnesses a memory of the workshop fairies making sweets together. Pekorin's stomach growls and she eats one of the donuts, unaware that Fueru, one of the Kirakiraru Thieves, approached their location. He barges into the workshop and takes the Kirakiraru from the donuts, powering himself up. Fueru harasses Pekorin about the donut she is holding, and Ichika transforms into Cure Whip to protect her.

Whip gives Fueru trouble with her ability to control the Kirakiraru, and so he splits into several clones whose combined power overwhelm Whip. Luckily for her, the rest of her friends arrive and transform into Cures to help defeat Fueru as a team.

Back in Ichigozaka, Ichika decides to open a store in the large open space she found earlier. She wants to make sweets that make their customers smile and attract the lost fairies due to the Kirakiraru. Her friends agree and Ichika dubs their new project the "KiraKira Patisserie".

The Cures are baking a sponge cake, but unfortunately the oven temperature was set too high. An explosion causes the KiraKira Patisserie (KiraPati) kitchen to get covered in soot. Spongen is looking for Kirakiraru outside the KiraPati and dismisses their failed attempt at a sponge cake.

While the girls clean up the kitchen, they notice that the rest of the KiraPati was soiled as well. Ichika is worried that they won't be able to open their shop in time. Suddenly, a stranger appears at the KiraPati's front door. Pekorin recognizes him as Chourou, but transformed into a human, surprising the Cures.

Chourou shows the Cures a secret staircase. They follow him down the staircase to a giant pot. He tells them that the pot is the Kirakiraru Pot, meant to store Kirakiraru before it turns into dreams.

Ichika turns a handle on the side of the pot, making pink clouds of Kirakiraru come out of the pot. Chourou tells the girls that they can make anything with the Kirakiraru. Ichika then gets an idea: to use the Kirakiraru to start cleaning and setting up the store. The others agree, and get to work. Aoi makes some tables, Akira wants to learn how to serve customers, and Himari goes to buy ingredients. Yukari practices using the clouds by making giant sweets.

However, things start to go wrong when Aoi and Akira accidentally create a giant hole in the wall after messing up with the table legs. Himari comes back and says that the store is too crowded, so she can't go shopping. Meanwhile, Yukari makes more sweets, which makes Ichika wonder what to do with them. Ichika then gets upset when her friends say that opening the store might be too hard.

A girl and her dog then spot Three-star Kitty. According to the girl, whichever store the cat is standing in front of has good fortune. Currently, the cat is standing in front of the KiraPati. Thinking the store must be good, the girl walks inside.

Ichika spots the girl and welcomes her, despite her friends protests. Ichika asks the girl what she would like. The girl reveals her name to be Emiru and tells Ichika that she's having a party with her friends tomorrow, but doesn't know what sweets to bring. Ichika suggests donuts, but Emiru doesn't think that would work and starts to walk out. Ichika then says that she'll find some sweets to bring. Emiru happily agrees.

Later, Himari is walking home when Akira runs up to her and asks if she wants to go shopping with her tomorrow. Meanwhile, Aoi passes Yukari, who asks if Aoi thinks that the shop could use a little more. Aoi reluctantly agrees.

The next morning, Ichika walks into the KiraPati and finds Aoi and Yukari decorating the new front counter. Aoi tells Ichika that the countertop was the table she messed up on yesterday. Impressed, Ichika thanks them when Himari and Akira each walk in holding a crate of apples. They both went to the store and told the merchant about the KiraPati.

Now excited, the girls begin to clean and decorate the KiraPati. Yukari makes pillars, Aoi decorates the counter, Himari cleans the kitchen, and Akira mops the floor. Ichika, happy, then gets a flash of what to make for Emiru: wonderful animal sweets. They give the box of animal sweets to Emiru, who is happy.

Suddenly, Spongen appears and steals the Kirakiraru from the animal sweets. He then converts the Kirakiraru into power to transform. Ichika tells Emiru that they'll change the sweets back and run off to transform.

Spongen attacks the Cures and starts to overpower them, but Whip says that the sweets they made were special because they were for their very first customer. The Cures then defeat Spongen, sending him flying away.

The Cures de-transform and go back to the KiraPati. Ichika makes their patisserie outfits, which everyone is happy with. Emiru and her friends then come in, and the Cures welcome them to the KiraKira Patisserie.

Ichika is running happily from school and meets up with the other Cures and Pekorin, who is holding the KiraPati. It turns into the shop, and the Cures are upset because nobody shows up.

A teenage boy is then shown walking and complaining because he doesn't have a type of cookies he needed. He then spots the KiraPati and runs toward it but trips and falls. When he looks up, the KiraPati is gone.

The KiraPati opens in a park, and the Cures are handing out samples. The same boy from before passes the shop and is about to walk inside when a bunch of kids trample over him on their way to the shop. The kids start grabbing samples and trampling over the Cures, but a girl named Nakamura Midori stops them. Then Midori spots the boy, named Daisuke. The two seem to know each other, but Daisuke gets nervous and runs off.

The Cures leave and try moving the KiraPati to several different spots, but none of them work.

Daisuke is walking around town when he spots the KiraPati. Thinking the cookies he needed are in the KiraPati, he runs toward the shop. Ichika welcomes him, but he quickly asks for cookies. Ichika tells him that they don't have any cookies, making Daisuke think that he'll never be able to confess to Midori about something. Ichika offers him some animal sweets, which Daisuke refuses at first but eventually eats a lot after Ichika asks him if he likes sweets, to which he says yes.

After eating a lot of animal sweets, Daisuke is happy and smiles, making Ichika happy. The Cures then ask him about his crush and the cookies, eventually finding out that his crush is Midori. He tells the Cures that they went to primary school together, but he never can tell her his true feelings. Yukari asks if they’ve gone out, and Daisuke says that they went to the zoo together-on a school trip, but Midori shared her cookie with him. He wants to give her cookies to get the courage to tell her his true feelings. Daisuke then leaves. Ichika, sad, decides that she wants to make him cookies.

Meanwhile, Cookacookie is taking all the Kirakiraru from cookies, making him stronger.

The Cures start making cookies for Daisuke. When the cookies come out of the oven, Ichika then gets a flash and decorates the cookies with icing.

The next day, Daisuke thinks about going over to the next town when Ichika calls him to the KiraPati. She gives him the cookies they made in a box and tells Daisuke that they put their hearts into making them. Himari gives him a cookie decorated with purple-and-white icing dots. He takes a bite of one and really likes it, then thanks the Cures. He thinks that he’ll have the courage to tell Midori his feelings, then runs off happily.

Just after he runs off, Yukari spots Cookacookie flying in the sky. He flies down to Daisuke and steals his cookies, making Daisuke start to chase after him. Just as Cookacookie is about to reach the mountain, the Cures transform.

The Cures start to fight Cookacookie. He soon overpowers them, but Daisuke arrives and sees the Cures fighting. The Cures yell that getting in the way of love in unforgivable, and defeat Cookacookie and get the cookies back.

Later that evening, Daisuke finds Midori and gives her the cookies. Suddenly, the KiraPati appears behind them, and the Cures welcome them inside, which looks like a zoo. Midori opens the box to see that the cookies are broken, but she makes a panda with some cookie pieces. Both of them are reminded about the field trip to the zoo, and eat the cookies happily together.

The KiraKira Patisserie has become popular, not least because of the charming Akira and Yukari attracting many female customers. The group is going to have a stall at Ichigozaka's annual Sweets Festival and Akira and Yukari suggest showcasing a flashy and beautiful new sweet. The group agrees on a colourful fruits tart and the high schoolers leave together to buy fruits.

While Akira and Yukari are away, Himari, Ichika and Aoi attempt to bake the tart shell for their tart prototype. Aoi wonders why two popular high schoolers are spending their free time in the patisserie, hanging out with three younger girls. Ichika dismisses Aoi's suggestion nervously and right on cue Akira's and Yukari's fan clubs waltz in, demanding that their idols should not be involved with the KiraPati anymore. Meanwhile, Akira and Yukari are in a pickle as fruits are out of stock in both the grocery store and the supermarket. Akira argues with Yukari that they should keep going to not disappoint the others, but is unsure what to do exactly. Yukari chides her for supposedly only wanting to help the others out of pity.

At the KiraPati, Yukari's fan club members gush about Yukari and tell the younger students that Yukari only joined the patisserie out of boredom.

In the shopping area, Yukari enters a jewellery shop. She puts on a necklace and tells Akira in a carefree tone that she is imagining the way the tart should look, puzzling the practical Akira. A young girl shows up and wants to buy a brooch, but the shop owner thinks a less mature-looking brooch would suit her more. Yukari encourages the girl, remarking that she will grow into a lovely young woman whom it would suit fine. Akira smiles at Yukari's kindness. The scene switches back to the KiraPati, where Akira's fan club goes on about Akira's coolness. They think that Akira only hangs out with the younger girls because she feels sorry for them.

Akira and Yukari spot an old lady who is searching for the emerald that has come off from her ring. Akira strongly empathizes with the woman and offers to search for the jewel. She crawls on the path like a dog would, putting a lot of effort into finding the emerald.

While this has been going on, the Kirakiraru thief Tarton stole Kirakiraru from tarts all over Ichigozaka.

Akira has found the emerald and presents it to the old lady, who is overjoyed. The woman whispers to Yukari that Akira is a wonderful boyfriend, and Yukari agrees. Just then, the two fan clubs show up and drag Akira and Yukari away. Akira's fan club thinks that Yukari is too fickle, while Yukari's fan club claims that Akira doesn't think before she acts. However, Akira remembers Yukari's kindness and Yukari remembers Akira's passion and reliability. At the patisserie, the three girls lament that their first try at a tart was too hard to eat. Ichika is distressed and thinks that Yukari and Akira won't come back. Nevertheless, she gets a grip and creates more batter for a second try. Tarton appears and takes the Kirakiraru from the tart shell. She transforms into a powerful form in which she can unleash spinning attacks.

The three girls transform into Cures and try to best Tarton, but she is too strong for them. Yukari and Akira show up just in time and transform as well. The two defeat Tarton by cooperating and combining their attacks. Afterwards, Akira takes Yukari's hand, pulling her along while explaining that they should continue their search. Yukari smiles at that and the two start calling each other by their first names. In the evening, a mysterious figure looms on top of the tower, looking at a flyer for the Sweets Festival. At the KiraPati, the patissieres look at the choice of fruits and Ichika decorates the tart pieces to look like hedgehogs. They invite the fan clubs to try the tarts, who love them so much that they gush about the KiraKira Patisserie.

At her restaurant, Ciel is shown unveiling her newest sweet creation in front of a live audience. Ichika is present, dressed as Ichigozaka's strawberry themed mascot "Ichigon", along with Himari as a reporter and Aoi on the camera.

Not minding the crowd, Ichika gets on her knees and begs Ciel to be her teacher. This is watched by the entirety of Ichigozaka, as TVs were installed to enable public viewing of Ciel's show. Akira and Yukari, seemingly on an outing together, are able to watch the events unfold. Ciel is amused by Ichika, but still doesn't want to teach her.

Meanwhile Bibury, sitting alone on a bench in the park, vents her displeasure about the nice weather, deeming it too sunny. She is then annoyed by a couple loudly talking about pâtissière prodigy Ciel. She rips a flyer out of the couple's hands, offending them as she complains about Ciel being a pain. However, Iru remarks that Ciel's Kirakiraru is top-notch, and Bibury agrees with that.

The Grocery Shop Owner had arranged for Himari and her team to have a day-long interview with Ciel - to promote the town. Ciel's plans include climbing Ichigo Mountain for honey. Ichika is the only one who tries to keep up with Ciel, who is familiar with the surroundings and uninterested in following the trail. The two get to know each other better as they explore the mountain. Opening up a bit after picking berries with Ichika, Ciel discloses the importance of selecting ingredients.

Exhausted, Ichika clings to a twig to support herself as the chipper Ciel guides her to the other side of the mountain. Aoi and Himari have already arrived a while ago, as they stayed on the trail. As everyone suggests, Ichika takes a break and strikes up a friendly conversation with the beekeepers' son, who reads the same picture book about bears Ichika used to love.

Ciel tastes a sample of the honey, and is able to discern its high quality. Yet another cooking duel between the pâtissière prodigy and the KiraPati leader ensues from Ichika's proposal to combine the honey with pancakes, this time, however, with an audience. Yukari and Akira, together again, pop in with Pekorin in tow. The picture book inspires Ichika to create bear-shaped pancakes. Ciel's fancy and meticulously made pancakes are a big hit with the audience, but Ichika doesn't lose confidence in her own creation.

Trouble looms as Bibury is summoned by the abundance of Kirakiraru. She turns Iru into a monster, endangering Ciel. The Cures transform and rescue the pâtissière, who is then catched by Cure Whip. Ciel not only knows about the legendary Cures, but is also a fan and establishes her enthusiasm until Bibury interrupts them again. The Cures defeat Iru with their finisher and Bibury retreats. The beekeeper family finally tries Ichika's pancakes and Ciel is surprised how full of Kirakiraru these ordinary pancakes are.

Akira and Yukari are studying English. In the background, their combined fanclub are gushing how wonderful they look together. A sentence about feeling lonely makes Yukari think. When Akira asks if something's wrong, Yukari reaches out and says Akira's hair was messy. Yukari still looks troubled though. Elisio is watching them and remarks that Yukari's heart looks delicious.

While waiting for Yukari and Akira, Aoi remarks that Yukari looks different lately. Himari interrupts her to tell the others how she's getting closer to Yukari. In a flashback we see Yukari tickling Himari. Ciel says Yukari is just like a cat and the others agree. Himari is still smitten with Yukari-oneesan. She then catches herself and asks the others not to tell her she said that.

Meanwhile, Akira and Yukari are walking around town. They meet various people who all come up to thank Akira for helping them out with various things. While Akira talks to them, Yukari is standing next to her, looking progressively more troubled. When she can't take it anymore, she runs away from Akira. When Akira catches up with her, she apologizes and asks how Akira can he so kind. Akira says she doesn't think about it, but at Yukari's look, says it makes her happy to help people. Because she knows not everyone is free to enjoy life, little things like a pretty sky or flowers make her happy. Yukari wonders why she is the way she is then, and runs away again. Elsewhere, Elisio rejoices at Yukari's sadness.

Sitting in her grandma's garden, Yukari is staring out over the pond forelornly. Akira tries to cheer her up, first with a little boat made from leaves, then with skipping a stone across the pond. She offers a stone to Yukari, but she refuses, saying that she doesn't enjoy such things. Akira says it's because she is with Yukari that she enjoys it, and that the others enjoy her company too. Yukari's grandma then comes out to ask her a favor. She wants Yukari and her friends to make something with a box of macha (powdered green tea). Akira promises they'll make something delicious. Yukari is still looking gloomy.

It's still raining when they are back at KiraPati. The others are excited about the possibilities of using macha in their sweets. Yukari, playing with her hair, is still unsure. Ichika says that for Yukari it has to be macarons of course. Before she can start though, Yukari says they can't make perfect macarons. Ciel reminds her that 'perfect' sweets are different for everyone. Ichika and Himari add that they've gotten much better since the last time they tried to make macarons, and Aoi agrees. Yukari decides to give it a try and they start to work on the macha macarons. They turn out nicely, and when the weather has cleared, Yukari goes out to deliver the macarons.

On the way she encounters Elisio, who says he has come for her. Yukari wants nothing to do with him, but he drains the kirakiraru from the macarons. Yukari quickly transforms. Elsewhere, Yukari's grandma is waiting for her. With one of his cards, Elisio creates a large mirror that shows an image of a dark Macaron. He explains it is a door into her heart and asks if she wants to know what's inside her heart or is afraid of it. Macaron is first surprised, then says it is interesting and takes Elisio's offer by stepping into the mirror.

Yukari's grandma comes to KiraPati and tells Akira and the others that Yukari is missing. Inside the mirror, Macaron finds a wall of images of herself as a child. Behind her, a young Yukari shows up and tells her she is always alone. Macaron says that there are always people around her, but young Yukari answers that they are not friends; they only praise her but don't want to know her for real. A dark mist appears from her that turns into vines that restrict and then shock Macaron. Macaron cries out in pain while young Yukari says that it's stupid how others are always laughing and having fun and that she hates them.

Outside, Elisio is laughing again and hopes Macaron will give in to the darkness. He is interrupted by the arrival of the other Cures who have come to rescue Macaron. When she sees Macaron crying out in pain in the mirror, Chocolat turns her Candy Rod into a sword and attacks Elisio with it. Elisio answers that Macaron wanted it herself. He then uses his Noir Miroir to turn the Ichigozaka Park clock into a monster.

Back inside the mirror, young Yukari asks Macaron to stop the pain and give in to the darkness. Macaron admits that she'll never be a good, cheerful girl. Young Yukari smiles at hearing Macaron's acceptance. Then Macaron continues and says there is light inside her as well, which surprises young Yukari. Elisio is watching them from outside and shocks Macaron again through the vines holding her. The others are worried about Macaron, but can't get closer because the clock tower/macaron monster keeps attacking them.

Macaron tells her younger self that when she is with others she is happier and things seem more interesting, that her world is more colorful now. The vines around her start to show cracks. Young Yukari cries out for her to stop. Macaron continues, saying enjoyment isn't something she can receive but that she has to make herself. Macaron finally breaks her bonds. At that moment, the world inside the mirror changes to a bright landscape filled with flowers and macarons. Young Yukari shouts that the darkness inside will never go away, that the light just makes the sadness worse. Macaron then embraces her younger self and says that she is her and that she loves her. At this, young Yukari starts to cry on Macaron's shoulder, then turns into light and disappears, together with the mirror.

Macaron jumps out and is caught by Chocolat. Chocolat said they were worried about her, but Macaron says she was just playing a bit. In her pocket, her crystal starts to glow and turns into a crystal statue of a cat. Macaron finds it amusing and interesting. When the monster attacks again, Yukari and Akira dance around dodging its attacks and fighting back. The monster knocks Yukari down, but Parfait is quick to catch her with her Rainbow Ribbon. Yukari uses it to jump back up and use Macaron Julienne on the monster. This finally knocks it out, after which the Cures use Animal Go Round! to finish it off. Elisio is angry that Macaron turned out not to be the kind of woman he was looking for. The Cures just glare back at him before he disappears.

At the tea ceremony Yukari's grandma talks about how Yukari is amazing and has made some good friends. Over at KiraPati, the girls are making Cat Macarons again, which turn out beautiful. Smiling, Yukari says they may not be perfect, but she likes them just like that.

Himari excuses herself as being from just an ordinary family and the guests leave disappointed. Feeling dejected, Himari puts her notebook back in her bag and walks away. She doesn't notice she dropped her notebook. At this moment Diable arrives at the party.

Himari found a quiet corner to sulk and calls forth her crystal squirrel to tell her worries to. She doesn't understand how her and Aoi are even friends when they are so different. The squirrel hops away and runs into Aoi's crystal lion. Aoi then finds Himari. When she wants to run away, Himari discovers that her notebook is missing. Aoi tells her they'll look for it together. Himari tries to tell her she'll look for it alone, but Aoi doesn't want to hear of it.

Meanwhile, the event's main presentation is starting. Just when Aoi and Himari find the notebook amid the gathered crowd, Diable begins to spread his miasma that makes people angry at each other. One of the guests tells Himari to get out of the way and pushes her. When she stumbles against someone else, a chain reaction results in the stage and the presentation being wrecked. The host angrily asks what's going on, and Himari admits that she stumbled. The other guests turn on Himari, who is too flustered to say anything. Aoi then steps onto the stage and formally apologizes to the host. Mizushima and the KiraPati group are surprised by Aoi's action, but the host, under Diable's influence, isn't swayed. The crowd then starts to bring up all Aoi's shortcomings as a proper young lady. Himari bursts out that it wasn't Aoi's fault and steps onto the stage to apologize as well. She ends up listing all of the qualities that to her make Aoi a really cool girl. Both Aoi and Himari herself are taken aback and a little embarrassed at Himari's vehemence.

Diable now attacks in earnest, and Himari and Aoi transform while the others guide the guests to safety. Together they succeed in freezing Diable, but he breaks free again. Diable threatens Gelato, then pounces on Custard when she tries to save her. Gelato tries to attack Diable, but he throws her back with his tail. She tries to get back up and Diable knocks her down again. Gelato refuses to give up and Diable asks why Custard is worth risking her life for. Gelato then explains what she finds so great about Himari.

The others attack Diable so he lets Custard go. When a combined attack by Whip, Chocolat and Macaron fails, Custard explains to Gelato and Parfait to make a giant choux creme with Diable inside. They do so, and Custard then uses Custard Illusion to explode it. After that everyone does Animal Go Round! together to finish him off. Diable promises he will be back though.

Afterwards, the host apologizes to Aoi and Himari, while the others talk about how it was Diable who made the guests turn on them. Mizushima tells Himari and Aoi that he now understands that the two of them are actually quite similar. Ichika says they are both like choux creme, full of passion about the things they love.

The episode starts with Pekorin making sweets together with the other fairies. She makes special sweets for birds, cats and even insects. After that, Pekorin and Kirarin visit Pikario who is still resting at Lumière's shrine in Ichigoyama. Kirarin says her biggest wish is that Pikario would get better soon and then asks what Pekorin's wish is. Pekorin says she wants to learn to make sweets better. After she says that, the star on Lumière's shrine glows.

At the end of the day, Pekorin and Kirarin stay over at the fairies' treehouse on Ichigoyama. That night, Pekorin has a dream where she meets Lumière, who casts some kind of magic on her. The following morning, the fairies are surprised to see a human child sleeping in their treehouse. It turns out that it is Pekorin, who turned into a human.

The girls at KiraPati are just as surprised to see Pekorin in human form. Pekorin tells the others what happened, but doesn't know how she did it. The Elder supposes that being with the girls at KiraPati all the time and watching the Pretty Cures helped Pekorin to grow a lot so she could now do something only very experienced fairies can do. Pekorin says she wants to help at KiraPati, and they all go to the kitchen to prepare for opening the store. They're out of some ingredients though, and Pekorin offers to do the shopping. Ichika starts to say that they'll go together, but Pekorin insists that she wants to do it on her own.

The girls see Pekorin off, but they are still worried about her, so Ichika, Aoi, Himari and Ciel secretly follow her on her errand. Pekorin properly greets some girls she meets, but Aoi points out that's a normal thing to do. In the shopping street, Pekorin comes across the Cow's Ice icecream truck and feels tempted by all the flavors of icecream they have. The girls are anxiously watching her, but after a moment, Pekorin reminds herself that she should go buy the ingredients instead of icecream.

At the supermarket, Pekorin pushes her shopping cart around the aisles while singing the ingredients she needs to buy. Aoi is impressed that she uses a song to not forget them. While walking around the store, Pekorin meets a mother and her baby. Pekorin quickly befriends the baby by making silly faces. While doing so, she accidentally turns back into a fairy though. The girls are still following Pekorin around the store and they are shocked to see Pekorin back in fairy form. Pekorin quickly hides from other customers though, and turns back into human form. When she has all the things she needed to buy, she finds that her shoulder bag with the money is missing. At first she starts to cry thinking that she wasn't able to buy the ingredients by herself after all, but then she tells herself she needs to find her shoulder bag so she can finish what she started. She looks all over the store, but can't find her bag. When she is getting desperate though, a store clerk asks her what is wrong. Pekorin tells her she lost her bag and together they go to ask if someone has turned it in at the store's office. At that moment, the mother stops them and tells Pekorin she found her shoulder bag. Pekorin is relieved to have it back and quickly completes her shopping.

Back at KiraPati, the girls all welcome Pekorin back and are really proud that their little Pekorin did so well all by herself. Pekorin says she wants to do more at KiraPati, and that she wants to make sweets for everyone on Ichigoyama. Meanwhile, Grave is getting ready to try out his car that he improved with Diable's spirit.

The following day, the girls take the KiraPati up to Ichigoyama, and Pekorin starts to make donuts for everyone. Her fairy friends as well as the girls watch her through the kitchen windows. After a while, Pekorin has made her donuts and other sweets for everyone. The other fairies bring drinks and everyone, the girls, the fairies and the forest animals, sit down together in a large circle to enjoy their sweets. Himari starts to explain the shape of donuts, and Ichika says the shape of the donuts is like the circle of friends eating together. Pekorin gets up to thank the girls for being with her all this time. Ciel and the Elder are watching the circle and notice how much kirakiraru is sparkling from the donuts and everyone's feelings.

At that moment, Grave arrives in his car. He makes everyone except the girls pass out by honking the car's horn, and proceeds to suck in all the kirakiraru that had formed. The girls quickly transform to fight him, but they find out that Grave's car has become much more monstrous. Under Grave's guidance, large smoke-like hands come out that can block the Cures' attacks. Grave then makes the hands turn into a giant monster head that knocks the Cures down. When he is about to attack again, Pekorin suddenly steps in front of the Cures and tells Grave to stop. Pekorin's strong feeling of wanting to protect the Cures again resonates with Lumière's spirit, and a glowing aura appears around Pekorin that is able to withstand the monster. Pekorin's transformation into human form begins to falter from all the energy she is using to protect her friends, but Pekorin's feelings prove strong enough to blow Grave's monster away in a big flash of light. Pekorin turns back into a fairy, and Whip quickly catches her. Pekorin is okay, but very tired. Whip tells her to leave the rest to them. The Cures take the kirakiraru rings created by Pekorin's outburst and throw them at Grave. At first he dodges them easily, but when Parfait combines them with her Parfait Étoile attack, they turn into a giant kirakiraru ring that captures Grave and his car. The girls quickly use Animal Go Round! to defeat him, and Grave flies off with his now damaged car.

At the KiraPati, Pekorin tells the others she can't seem to transform into a human anymore. Aoi asks the Elder if it's because she used up all the kirakiraru from Lumière, but he has no idea either. The girls feel sorry that Pekorin can't study to get better at making sweets in human form now, but Pekorin says the most important thing is that she could save her friends. Touched by Pekorin's kindness, Ichika thanks her, making Pekorin blush while her ears turn multi-colored. At the end, the focus returns briefly to Pikario at Lumière's shrine and we see that his hand moves, showing that he is close to regaining consciousness.

The episode begins with Aoi and her band Wild Azur wrapping up a performance to a large audience, including the other KiraPati members, and Misaki Ayane looking on from a distance. Back at the KiraPati, the girls along with the rest of the band celebrate the successful gig and are all excited about the band gaining more exposure. There is also discussion of another Battle of the Bands where they will once again battle against Ayane's band. It even gets to the point where Ichika and Himari ask Aoi for autographs. As they celebrate, Aoi notices something is off with Kei, and when she asks him what's happening, he makes the shocking announcement that he has to leave the band.

Later that evening, Aoi, now uncertain about things, meets up with Ayane back at the venue to talk. She says that Wild Azur was Kei's creation and that he discovered Aoi a year before when he watched her busking on the street one day. He was impressed and offered her a spot in the band. It is also shown that Aoi inspired the name. Now with Kei leaving, Aoi is not sure what to do about her dream because the band would not have been possible without him. Ayane then suggests that the band could drop out of their battle because she would not want that to be their final performance, leaving Aoi even more conflicted. Meanwhile, Elisio looks on, thinking about targeting her dream.

The next day at school, Aoi is still taking Kei's announcement hard, and Ichika, Himari, and Ciel watch, and Ichika comes up with an idea. After school, as Aoi is returning home, Yukari and Akira find her and take her to KiraPati, where the other Cures, along with Mitsuyoshi, await her. Ciel announces that they will have a pajama party there to cheer Aoi up. Even the overprotective Mitsuyoshi approves of it, but he brings her a bathrobe to wear over her casual pajamas, much to her anger. The other Cures then start a pillow fight with Aoi, causing her to loosen up a bit and join in on it as well. As it continued, it showed Aoi feeling much better.

As the night wore on, the girls make different flavored lion ice cream in honor of Aoi. As they eat it, Aoi remembers performing with Wild Azur the same day she became Cure Gelato for the first time. She then asks her friends what they would do if their favorite sweets were to have just disappeared forever. She gets different answers from everyone, but Ichika's answer impacts her the most. She says that she would just make more because the ingredients would still be there and that it would not make her like sweets even less. Aoi applies that to her own situation, even with the band's future up in the air, it still doesn't mean that her dream and her passion for performing would disappear, so she stays up the rest of the night working on a new song.

The next day, she meets up with the other members of the band with the completed song, hoping they could use it for the battle, and explains her reasoning behind it. She tells them how she once thought about giving up her dream after learning about Kei's departure, but she has learned to love music even more through him and the rest of the band, so she shouldn't just give it up. Kei likes the song and tells them that they should finish up the song together, and the band begins to rehearse.

The night of the battle, Ayane is surprised that Aoi and the rest of the band were able to make it. Wild Azur takes the stage and is about to perform when Elisio appears, intent on destroying Aoi's dream. He uses one of his cards to transform himself into a magician. He first makes Nendo heads appear on most of the audience, rendering them immobile. He then makes Kei, Ryuuta, and Sara, and later on the other Cures, disappear with magical cloths, trapping them in a dimension away from Aoi. Angered that everything had been taken away from her so quickly, Aoi transforms into Cure Gelato, wanting to defend her dream. Unfortunately, Elisio overpowers her and traps her in a soundproof box suspended above the stage, robbing her of her voice. He then gloats about crushing her dream as she tries in vain to force herself free. Gelato is left in tears, wondering if what she had worked for was for nothing.

She then remembers rehearsing her new song with the band and that she shouldn't just give up on it. She tries to sing again, but this time, she does so from her heart instead of her voice, which shocks Elisio. The band and the Cures hear the song from a distance and Kei cries out at Aoi to continue singing her heart out. Her song gradually gets louder and more confident as she finally frees herself and attacks a surprised Elisio. Guided by her song, the Cures then appear from behind the wall and reunite with Gelato before using Fantastic Animale to turn Elisio back into his regular form, causing him to retreat again.

With the other members back and the audience restored, Wild Azur finally perform their song, "Aile". From up in the balcony, Aoi's parents, Raiou and Aiko, arrive to watch her perform as well, and tell Mitsuyoshi that they already have a suitable heir. Their performance is well-received by the audience, who cheer Wild Azur loudly as they finish it. An elated Aoi thanks everyone in the end.

At the Patisserie, Yukari says that she will be leaving probably in Spring, while the others are getting ready for Ichika's birthday. Meanwhile, in his lair, Noir talks to Elisio about how well he has served him. He then absorbs Elisio and his mask is shattered, revealing his true form.

At the bus station, Yukari is about to leave, but Aoi accompanies her, taking the same bus. They say their goodbyes. Ciel asks Akira if she wants to see the chocolates she made for Akira's sister, Miku, and she accepts. Himari asks Ichika what present she wants for her birthday. She responds she wants anything that can make her happy. Himari then reminds her of the first time they made puddings together, and the many adventures they had as Pretty Cures. Himari says that she helped her find the courage to move on.

At the bus, Aoi asks Yukari how long she will stay on Confeito, she replies that maybe she will go somewhere else. Aoi comments that Yukari is fickle, but she's cool. As the bus stops, Yukari tells Aoi that she is cool too. Aoi blushes.

Akira says Ciel's chocolates look great. She thanks her and asks what university will she apply to. She then starts to worry that Akira will never see Miku again. But Akira know that they'll always be together.

Near Ichika's house, Himari says goodbye to her. Ichika enters her house and sees her parents. While they're eating dinner, Ichika asks her mother if she had any dreams when she was her age. Ichika then tells her that all her friends have plans for the future, but she never had any plans for hers, and she just likes making sweets. But her parents encourage her.

The next day, everyone in the Patisserie gets ready for Ichika's birthday. Bibury asks where Ichika is, and Yukari tells her she is making the birthday cake. Ichika arrives with her completed cake, which is decorated with strawberries and has a bunny on top. Then three kids enter the Patisserie and wonder if it's closed, and Ichika invites them in.

Everyone wishes a happy birthday to Ichika, much to her joy. But when Ichika is about to blow the candles, a dark red bolt of lightning appears in the sky. Then a Diable enters the Patisserie and steals the birthday cake's Kirakiraru. He then attacks the kids and steals theirs as well. Ichika's father tries to protect his wife, but the Diable steals their Kirakiraru.

The girls go outside and find out that Noir is behind all this, having become even stronger. He had engulfed the world in darkness. He then attacks Rio and Bibury, saying that they deserved it, for they were traitors.

Ichika is disgusted by Noir's actions, saying that he ruined their happiness. The girls then transform and fight him. Cure Whip then says that Noir will never destroy their love. But Noir states that this "love" is just a lie, and that everyone's hearts have darkness and negative feelings inside, and they spread the "lies" of love and happiness in order to hide those feelings.

Noir attacks the Cures, but Lumière appears and stops him. Lumière reveals that during their battle a century ago, Noir separated from his body and became pure evil, and his lifeless body became known as Elisio, until the day they become one and darken the world again.

Noir then reveals a bigger truth - Lumière was the one who saved him and took care of him when he was wounded. Noir wanted Lumière to make sweets just for him, but she couldn't. Noir then takes his revenge by stealing the town's light. Lumière regrets the fact that she could not save Noir.

Noir says that light and darkness can never be together. Whip refuses this and tells him that he has the same feelings as her and the girls, they were born from love, and if he still has love, he can smile again. Noir does not believe her and attacks Lumière, but Whip protects her, saying that she will make both of them smile. The others help her and they dispel the attack. Lumière gives the Cures her last bit of power, and they perform Fantastic Animale.

Light and darkness clash, as Noir attacks them using all his power. But then everything freezes and Elisio comes out of Noir. He absorbs him and Lumière into cards. He fuses the two cards and turns the town of Ichigozaka (and the Earth itself) into a lifeless world.

Ichika wakes up, powerless and emotionless. She sees her Animal Sweet and her Crystal Animal, but doesn't remember what they are, or what they are for...

Ichika wakes up emotionless, having no idea of what she has done. She sees her Animal Sweet and her Crystal Animal and doesn't know what are they for. She proceeds to put them in the trash. Pekorin and the Elder come out of the KiraPati box, unaffected by the monotony of the world. Pekorin wonders where everyone is. The Elder then reminisces what happened in the last battle. He remembers that Cure Whip hid them both in the KiraPati box to be safe before her emotions (and powers) were drained. Pekorin wastes no time and declares they must find her.

Pekorin and the Elder fly through a gloomy Ichigozaka, where they see that everyone has lost their feelings. Pekorin spots Ichika, and comes near her. She is happy that she is okay. But Ichika now doesn't know who she is. The two fairies then spot Himari, Aoi, Akira and Yukari, all of them gloomy and apathetic. Kirarin and other fairies are also affected. Pekorin asks Aoi to sing a song, but she stands silently still. She asks Yukari to do a tea ceremony, but she doesn't remember. Pekorin thinks everyone is joking, but the Elder tells her they're not. Suddenly they realize that their Kirakiraru's glow is gone. From his lair, Elisio is watching the emotionless people through his mirrors.

Pekorin tells them that they need to remember that they're the legendary Pretty Cures. The girls and Kirarin tell them that they threw their sweets away. Pekorin and the Elder then see the grocery store owner and the owner of patisserie Sugar fighting and hating each other. Their Kirakiraru is filled with darkness.

Suddenly, a police car arrives, and a police officer comes out of it. It turns out it is Grave, who has been revived. He erases the men's dark feelings, and tells his minions to check that every heart in the area has no feelings. The Elder remarks that Elisio would end wih the conflict in his world by erasing love. Pekorin desperately tries to awaken her friends, but to no avail. They tell her that a world without love isn't all that bad. Pekorin is shocked at this.

Everybody is scanned to see if their feelings are erased. Pekorin and the Elder wonder what to do. Pekorin has an idea and summons the Patisserie. Grave tells his minions to check the girls closely, for they used to be Pretty Cures. Grave then notices something...

Pekorin arrives with a basket full of donuts, but the nendos mug her. Grave sees the basket and how much Kirakiraru it has. Pekorin says that if they eat the sweets, they will remember who they are and the sweets that they made together, the smiles they put on people together, and the battles they fought together. She tearfully says that a world without love is not a world to live in. But Grave tells her that it's because of that love, that conflicts appear, and that in Elisio's world, there is no place for conflict. He will take the sweets (and the fairies) to the garbage facility. Pekorin is horrified by this. As she is escorted, she implores the girls to remember the things they love.

At the garbage facility, people take away the things they like and burn them. Grave will do the same to the donuts. The Elder tries to grab them... but he's a ghost. As the donuts are about to be destroyed, Pekorin lets out a scream, and then the donuts glow with a bright light...

...Which causes a big explosion that spreads a big mass of cream throughout the city. Ichika then starts to remember —Cream falling from the sky, and donut clouds... Suddenly, she realized. Ichika and the others reunite at the facility. Somehow she couldn't forget those donuts Pekorin made. They enter the facility and see Pekorin, holding the donuts. She then falls, and an army of Nendos surrounds her. Elisio has commanded them not to kill anyone, but Grave demands that Pekorin give him the sweets. The Elder asks Grave why is he even serving Elisio if he betrayed him. He responds by saying that his current form is a servant to him.

Pekorin refuses to hand the sweets over to Grave. Grave orders the nendos to attack her, but she avoids them. Grave then slaps her. He tells Pekorin that she is useless and has always watched the Cures fight but couldn't fight herself. Pekorin tells him that their feelings were the same. She still won't give Grave the donuts, and Grave kicks her.

Although hurt, Pekorin remarks that even though she's weak, the sweets she and the others made have taught them many things. She remembers the time she made donuts with Ichika made her happy. She says that now it is her time to fight back. As Grave and the Nendos surround her to take away her donuts, Pekorin declares that she will not give up. The power of love from the donuts then engulfs her in a pink light and turns her into a human. She gains her own Sweets Pact and Animal Sweet, and transforms and becomes a Pretty Cure, complete with her own Candy Rod.

Cure Pekorin is amazed at her transformation, but she seems to have trouble using her Candy Rod. Grave and his Nendos chase her, and as she runs, she shoots cream blobs which stick to the walls and the windows. The cream then explodes and fireworks appear, with images of a shortcake, a pudding, ice cream, a macaron, a chocolate bar and a parfait. They explode into kirakiraru sparkles, and suddenly, the girls start to remember: The sweets that they made were filled with thoughts of their loved ones, and it would fill their hearts with Kirakiraru, but now, their hearts are empty. Ichika asks what that feeling was, and Pekorin tells her it was love. From the garbage bags come out rays of red, yellow, blue, pink, purple and rainbow lights. Pekorin stops Grave from approaching them. The Animal Sweets come back to the girls' hands, given to them by the Crystal Animals. The girls are finally awakened, and transform once again into Pretty Cures.

Grave is shocked at this and he and the Nendos proceed to attack them, but the Cures unite their Candy Rods to create a net that traps them. Outside, a bright light comes out of the sky, and Elisio slowly descends. The Cures exit the facility and encounter him, and Elisio sees that the humans couldn't accept the world he created. But deep down, Whip knows that Elisio has a heart, and that love (and their Kirakiraru) will reach him.

The episode starts with a view of an emotionless Earth as Ichika narrates the events of the two previous episodes, and how Pekorin helped her and the others get back to their senses by becoming a Pretty Cure. Now, she tells Elisio that their love will reach him. Elisio tells her it is a meaningless sentiment, reminding them that he was Noir's empty body, and could never feel love nor hate. Because his heart is empty, he can rule over anything. He combines Noir and Lumière's powers and gains a new form to banish them. The Pretty Cures get ready to attack and summon their Crystal Animals.

Elisio fires a beam of darkness at them. Cure Gelato creates an ice crystal and fires it at him but he destroys it. Custard creates discs and throws them at Noir but misses. Whip throws whipped cream at him but he brushes it off with his power of light. Parfait and Pekorin follow Elisio in their unicorn, but Elisio notices them and attacks them. Pekorin is about to fall off but Parfait saves her. Elisio fires a beam of light at them but Chocolat blocks it.

From down below, the citizens of Ichigozaka (including Pikario) witness the battle. Elisio attacks them, but they emerge from the smoke after a tough hit and the battle resumes. Elisio says that all their effort is pointless and knocks them all down and was able to seal them away in cards, but Whip knocks them away. Cure Whip tells him how he would think that a world without love would be perfect, and she and the others express their desires, and tell him that without love, they wouldn't even be them. They then turn into their Super Modes.

Elisio summons a giant dark cupcake, but the Cures fight back and perform Fantastic Animale Special, summoning a giant version of Ichika's birthday cake. The two sweets clash, causing the Kirakiraru to fall down. The citizens then catch them, and one by one it makes them recover their memories and the things they love, including Grave, who resumes being his normal self. The reformed citizens start cheering on the Pretty Cures, which makes their powers grow stronger and they destroy Elisio's cake, creating an explosion that breaks his wand and defeats him.

However, Elisio absorbs the Cures and the Earth into his body, a void of nothingness. One by one, the people trapped in bubbles start to disappear. Just as the Cures lament that their effort was in vain, Chourou appears, because of him being a ghost. He encourages them by exploding into many kirakiraru and frees them. He then tells them that they are not alone and shows them the Kirakiraru created by Bibury and Pikario. The others encourage them, including Grave. Satomi tells her daughter that she knows she can do it.

The Pretty Cures use their Candy Rods to channel everyone's energies and convert them into power. They are about to make a cake but Elisio destroys it telling them to not do a pointless thing like that. They see him trapped in a bubble. He tells them that the hearts of people are powerless inside him, and that his body is floating in space, and that when it rots, everything will be over. Cure Whip tries to rescue him, and then a light appears. Suddenly, the voices of Noir and Lumière are heard. Then various flashbacks are shown, including Noir's birth, him turning his body into Elisio, and how Bibury, Pikario, and Grave became Noir's servants.

Elisio tells the Cures that humans are always consumed by hate, and when their feelings grow stronger, they feed the battle between good and evil. But Whip tells him that he also has a heart, despite him thinking that he does not. Whip understands that keeping feelings from crashing into each other is hard, and tells him that they all have different kinds of love and they can connect through others. She tells him how he could live in a world without smiles.

Pekorin suggests mixing Elisio's Kirakiraru too, but he initially doubts it, since the Earth disappeared forever. As everyone's silhouettes start appearing, Whip tells him that their kirakiraru will connect them. Elisio finally tells them to try it, and gives them his kirakiraru.

The Cures then mix everyone's kirakiraru, rebuilding the Earth and creating a planet-sized Animal Sweet. As they fall, Elisio appears and tells them that he looks forward to a world where living things can co-exist. He then disappears along with Noir and Lumière.

Cure Whip sees that they built a giant birthday cake for her and blows the candles. They then land safely on the ground and de-transform. Ichika opens the patisserie's door and the townspeople inside wish her a happy birthday.

One year after the final battle with Elissio, the Kirakira Patisserie prepares for its final day of business before everyone goes their separate ways. As Yukari returns from overseas for the occasion, she leads a girl named Hana Nono to the shop, where they make sweets for her baby companion, Hug-tan. It is then that Ichika reveals she wants to travel around the world and make sweets for everyone in order to fulfil her promise to Elissio, but is conflicted about leaving the patisserie behind in order to pursue her dream. As Hana leaves the store, the kirakiraru from her sweets cause the Elder's body, which had been long separated from his spirit, to rise from underground and attack the town. As the Cures struggle to fight against it, Pekorin and the fairies step in to fight, stating that they'll protect the town in Ichika's stead. Assisted by another Pretty Cure named Cure Yell, Pekorin manages to calm down the Elder's body and finally reunite it with his spirit. Some time later, as everyone pursues their own unique dreams, Ichika continues to take the Kirakira Patisserie around the world to bring smiles and sweets to everyone she meets.
