## Synopsis

The episode begins with Hinaka, Sarayu, Horeta, Hugfute, and Harihuncin going hiking. They arrive at the fair. Just before Hinaka was about to go, a girl named Erudanimi Aimoreyarin appears warning her about stepping on the rock. She then tells them about the laws of going hiking and the dangers.

Erudanimi introduces herself and she is in the same class as Kotori. She shows the girls emergency things for hiking. She meets Hugfute after touching her hand. Hinaka invites her to go hiking as well.

The girls are at the park watching the citizens playing with stones in the water, which is soon interrupted by Hana's stomach gurgling. So, then Hinaka unpacks a banana for a snack, but instead, she brought a cucumber, which is a curse of the kappa. Hinaka grabs Erudanimi and makes a run for it. She tries crossing the river, but she slips and falls, causing her and Erudanimi to get wet. The cucumber gets flung away, hitting Shintenple, who is trying to relax. She seems to be pretty excited to have the cucumber out of nowhere.

After school, Hinaka asks Horeta where Erudanimi is, and Horeta says that Erudanimi will join them at the rocket after her tea ceremony practice. As Erudanimi rides away in her car, Himenojou Sakurako watches in envy through her binoculars.

By the time Erudanimi goes to the rocket to continue repairs, all of the work is done and Horeta has left to tend to her shop. While Erudanimi cuddles with Hugfute, Hinaka is in awe of how much Erudanimi does every day. She asks Erudanimi if she has any time to go out for snacks, and Erudanimi says that all of her snacks are made at her house. She then goes out to do some cleaning around the rocket before her archery practice starts.

Horeta finds Shintenple and transforms, despite Harihuncin telling her to wait for the others. Soloikle tries her best to fight the Oshitorebyogen on her own, but thanks to Shintenple taunting her, she loses confidence in herself and almost loses. Thankfully Hinaka and Sarayu show up to save Soloikle. Stellace takes Soloikle by the hand and tells her how much fun she was having at the event and admits how much she loves Soloikle. Soloikle blushes but it helped cheer her up so after coming up with a plan, the girls start fighting the Oshitorebyogen together. Anmiltaine uses a new attack to freeze the Oshitorebyogen in place, giving Soloikle the chance to purify it.

After Shintenple leaves and the Jewelry Mistaelement Spirit thanks the girls, Soloikle suggests they enter the contest in their Cure forms. However, Harihuncin refuses. A few minutes later, Horeta admits she actually found some dresses for them to wear, which they end up wearing in their photo shoot. As Sarayu grimaces over her bad smile, Hinaka thanks Horeta for inviting them to the event. As Sarayu teases the embarrassed Horeta, Hinaka hugs them. The episode ends with the trio smiling happily with Hugfute and the Startto Animals.
