As Mana and Rikka wait in line to get to the top of the Clover Tower, a mysterious boy named Ira manipulates the heart of an impatient customer, transforming his selfish thoughts into a crab-like monster known as a Jikochu, which wrecks havoc before heading up to the top floor. Fearing for a young girl whom she helped previously, Mana chases after the Jikochu, followed closely by a fairy named Sharuru. After getting the girl to safety, Mana is approached by Sharuru, who turns into a Lovely Commune, asking her to transform. As Mana struggles with figuring out how to transform, Cure Sword appears and defeats the Jikochu, returning the now purified heart to its rightful owner. Just then, Cure Sword is ensnared by another Crab Jikochu created by Ira's ally, Marmo.

Afterwards, Mana tries to make friends with Cure Sword, but she refuses, preferring to be alone. On the way back, Mana tells Rikka about her becoming a PreCure, although she doesn't believe her. Later that night, as Mana heads to Rikka's house to tell her more, she is promptly informed by Sharuru and her fellow fairies, Raquel and Lance, that she is supposed to keep her identity a secret so that she doesn't drag others into her fight.
