Following the end of term grades, Reika is asked by her friends on why she works so hard and studies, whether it is for herself or for her parents. Reika realizes she does not know, deciding to drop all her activities to give this though, including being in the Pretty Cure. She spends some time with the other girls, observing what they enjoy doing with themselves whilst thinking about what she wants to do herself. After refusing to go through a textbook Joker gave him to study up on their enemies, Akaoni creates a Textbook Akanbe which punishes the girls for getting questions wrong. Reika rejoins the girls and defeats the Akanbee, having found her resolve in why she words diligently.
