If You Give A Dog A Groupchat

Summary:

Now that Satoru knows their secret, and has started helping them out, Iroha thought it would be a good idea for them all to have a way to communicate about Precure stuff. She and Satoru have phones, Mey Mey has a phone for some reason, and she can easily get Komugi a burner phone for her human form, so a groupchat seemed like the simplest option. There's no way this could backfire.

Right?

Notes:

Hello all, There is so much other stuff I'm supposed to be doing, but my brain decided to make this instead. Oh well. I'll finish my novel eventually.

Enjoy the product of my procrastination.

(This chapter takes place during episode 4)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Iroha Makes a (miskate) Chat

Chapter Text

GROUPCHAT - Animal Town Precure Team

 

<DogWhisperer added Bunny Boy to the chat>

 

<DogWhisperer added Mey Mey to the chat>

 

<DogWhisperer added AGoodGirl to the chat>

 

DogWhisperer

Hello guys

I thought it would be a smart idea to have a way to communicate between everyone, so I made a chat

 

Mey Mey

I agree.

Though, I do hope you’ll use this to actually listen to me.

 

AGoodGirl

Cool!

 

Bunny Boy

Uh

Inukai-san, did you get Komugi a phone?

 

DogWhisperer

I had enough allowance to get her a burner yeah

 

AGoodGirl

A gift from Iroha! This is amzaing!!

 

DogWhisperer

You mean Amazing

 

AGoodGirl

Yeah!

 

Bunny Boy

Is letting her onto the internet a good idea?

 

DogWhisperer

Don’t worry, I have parental controls on her phone

 

AGoodGirl

What?

 

DogWhisperer

It’s just to keep you safe, Komugi

 

AGoodGirl

Okay then!

 

Mey Mey

Wasn’t this chat made to communicate about Precure matters?

I fail to see how this is related.

 

Bunny Boy

Right

I’ll share some of the documents I’ve been working on, concerning the appearances of the GaruGarus so far

<Attached document>

 

DogWhisperer

Oh, you digitized the maps?

 

Bunny Boy

It’s good to have a backup

 

DogWhisperer

Well that’s true

 

Bunny Boy

So far I can’t see a pattern exactly

But it is early, maybe it’ll become clearer the more they show up

 

AGoodGirl

When they do, we’ll be waiting for them!

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah

Though, I’m not sure what we’ll do if one shows up in the middle of the night

We’ve gotten pretty lucky with timing so far

 

Bunny Boy

Not to mention when school starts…

 

DogWhisperer

Oh crap you’re right

How am I supposed to be a Cure and a student at the same time??

 

Mey Mey

The answer is clear.

Don’t go to school, focus on Precure.

 

DogWhisperer

Uh, Mey Mey

I don’t really think that’s an option

 

Bunny Boy

Komugi isn’t a student

She could patrol for you when you’re stuck

 

AGoodGirl

Komugi wants to go to school with Iroha though…

 

DogWhisperer

I also don’t think that’s an option either, Komugi

You’d have to get better at being human first at the very least

 

AGoodGirl

How do you do the little text faces?

I want to make an angry one

 

DogWhisperer

Like this?
>:T

 

AGoodGirl

Yeah!

>:T

 

Bunny Boy

I’ll keep doing my best with what I can do

There’s still days left until school starts, we can figure things out when it actually becomes a problem

 

DogWhisperer

Right

 

AGoodGirl

I want to go to school!!!

 

DogWhisperer

Komugi…

 

Mey Mey

It’s better that you don’t, that way we have one available Cure at all times.

 

AGoodGirl

>:T >:T >:T

 

Mey Mey

Well…

At least you’re listening to me.

GROUPCHAT - Animal Town Precure Team

 

DogWhisperer

Satoru-kun, do you have the Tanuki on your map yet?

 

Bunny Boy

I’ve just entered it

 

DogWhisperer

Any pattern?

 

Bunny Boy

Still none…

 

AGoodGirl

Those Tanuki were so cute!

I bet they’re happy to be together again!

 

Mey Mey

They are.

Good work you two.

 

DogWhisperer

Thanks, Mey Mey!

 

AGoodGirl

It was so little!

Do you think there are going to be any more that small?

 

Bunny Boy

From what I’ve both seen and heard, every single Garu Garu has been wildly different

So, it’s entirely possible

 

AGoodGirl

Yes!

I hope to see another one soon!

 

DogWhisperer

Me too, if only because it was actually easy to deal with

Compared to Mey Mey and the Kirarin Rabbit at least

Even the ostrich…

 

Mey Mey

My GaruGaru couldn’t have been that bad.

I was purified by Cure Wonderful working alone, afterall.

 

DogWhisperer

Let me tell you, running away from a massive wild sheep that wants to stomp your skull into tiny pieces is terrifying

 

Mey Mey

…My apologies.

 

DogWhisperer

No worries, it wasn’t really you anyway

 

AGoodGirl

You didn’t do it on purpose!

If you had, I would have already ended you :) 

 

Bunny Boy

I see Komugi learned another emoticon…

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah, I taught her a bunch while we were walking to Pretty Holic

 

Bunny Boy

How did that go, by the way?

You were super excited about it

 

DogWhisperer

It was great!

 

AGoodGirl

It was amazing!

 

DogWhisperer

The girl who lives there, Mayu-chan, did makeup on me!

It was so cool!

 

Bunny Boy

I’ve never seen you wear makeup before

Huh

 

DogWhisperer

That’s because I’ve never worn it!

It was a new experience, but a good one!

 

AGoodGirl

Komugi tried it too!

I ended up looking like a tanuki though

Iroha thought it was cute!

 

DogWhisperer

It was cute

I stand by that

 

Bunny Boy

It sounds like you two had a lot of fun!

 

AGoodGirl

Tons!

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah!

We just got back from delivering a walk bag to Mayu-chan

She was so sweet, but I get the feeling she’s a little nervous about moving here

So I thought I’d get her something to make her feel more welcome!

 

Bunny Boy

You’re so kind, Inukai-san

That was such a good deed

 

DogWhisperer

Thanks Satoru-kun!

 

Mey Mey

Excuse me, but what does any of this have to do with our mission exactly?

 

Bunny Boy

Sorry Mey Mey

We’ll move the conversation

 

Mey Mey

Thank you

 

AGoodGirl

Mayu-chan’s cat Yuki-chan was also super cool!

She didn’t really say anything, but she was so pretty!

She had super white fur, just like her name!

 

DogWhisperer

Oh, you got to talk to her?

I’ll have to say hi next time we’ve over there

 

AGoodGirl

Yep!

 

Mey Mey

LISTEN TO ME

 

Bunny Boy

You should probably move to DMs

 

DogWhisperer

Right, whoops

 

Mey Mey

Why does she listen to you?

 

Bunny Boy

I’m so sorry Mey Mey

Bunny Boy

So, Pretty Holic?

 

Dog Whisperer

Right!

It has such a nice vibe to it

I’m sure it’s going to be a wonderful addition to animal town

Though animals aren’t allowed inside, it’s for their health and safety

Lots of scents and stuff

 

Bunny Boy

Right

That makes sense

 

DogWhisperer

You should come with us next time!

To meet Mayu-chan if not for the makeup lol

 

Bunny Boy

I think I just might

I lose nothing by it, and Mayu-chan sounds interesting

 

DogWhisperer

She is!

I hope she’ll be our friend

Hmmm 

 

Bunny Boy

What is it?

 

DogWhisperer

I’ve been thinking

It’s kind of insane, right?

All of this?

 

Bunny Boy

What?

Oh, the whole Precure thing, right?

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah.

I dunno it’s just

I never really thought it would be me , you know?

Every kid dreams of being a Cure at least once in their life

But

For us it’s real

 

Bunny Boy

Well, I’m not a Precure myself, but I think I sort of know what you’re feeling

I never thought Animal Town would be a hot spot

Much less that I would be at the center of the action with you

It is sort of surreal

 

DogWhisperer

Not to mention Komugi

I am still reeling from that

 

Bunny Boy

Oh yes

I’ve been imagining how I would have reacted to Daifuku becoming human…

 

DogWhisperer

Awee I want to see that now

He’d be so sweet!

 

Bunny Boy

Inukai-san…

I’m glad you’re a Precure.

I can’t think of anyone else that I would want protecting our town

 

DogWhisperer

Thanks Satoru-kun!

And I’m glad you’re helping out!

I wouldn’t have it any other way

 

Bunny Boy

Oh um

You’re welcome?

 

DogWhisperer

I’ve got to head to bed now, but I’ll talk to you in the morning! Goodnight!

 

Bunny Boy

Goodnight, Inukai-san

Chapter 2

Summary:

GROUPCHAT - Animal Town Precure Team

 

Bunny Boy

Uh

@DogWhisperer @AGoodGirl

I’m not sure if you know, but there’s a Garugaru on the beach

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah Komugi sensed it

It’s on the beach?

 

Bunny Boy

Sort of

It’s more in the ocean than anything

Just… make your way down here

You can’t miss it

 

AGoodGirl

Got it!!

 

Mey Mey

I will patiently await the purification.

 

----------

 

DogWhisperer

Oh I forgot to remind you-

Satoru-kun, you’re adding the Penguin to your maps, right?

 

Bunny Boy

I’m already on it, don’t worry

Though, for a Garugaru to appear off the coast…

I still can’t see any sort of pattern

 

Mey Mey

Don’t give up hope on it!

You’re a smart boy to put this together in the first place, and the Precure have already saved TWO Kirarin animals, AND have discovered a new Precure item!

Things will surely turn out!

 

AGoodGirl

Yep

Surely

 

DogWhisperer

Komugi, you good?

 

AGoodGirl

I’m fine!

Perfectly fine!

 

DogWhisperer

If you say so

 

Bunny Boy

Still, the two of you are amazing

I was watching from the beach the whole time, and it was incredible to watch you skating and jumping around

 

AGoodGirl

You think so?

 

Bunny Boy

I know I couldn’t do that

 

AGoodGirl

:) 

 

DogWhisperer

Komugi, we have to get to bed

 

AGoodGirl

Right!

 

MeyMey

Yes, good.

Precure should be well rested.

 

Bunny Boy

Goodnight!

 

DogWhisperer

You should be going to be too, Satoru-kun

 

Bunny Boy

I’ll take that under advisement

 

----------

 

Direct Messages Between DogWhisperer and Bunny Boy

 

Bunny Boy

So… just to clarify from earlier

You and Komugi really are fighting?

Still?

 

DogWhisperer

Something like that…

I still can’t believe it

 

Bunny Boy

Neither can I

Which is why I had to ask

 

DogWhisperer

She’s being so unreasonable!

 

Bunny Boy

I mean, from our perspectives, yes

But I do want to remind you that she’s only had her human form for a few days at this point

We’re still not sure what that’s done to her brain, if anything

I really don’t think she understands

 

DogWhisperer

That… is true

But still!

Every time i’ve TRIED to explain it all to her, she just DOESN’T LISTEN

What’s the point of being able to talk to her if she won’t listen to me??

 

Bunny Boy

The two of you will figure this out

I have faith in your partnership

 

DogWhisperer

I really hope so…

This is so stupid, but it’s just really hard to get over it?

Especially when SHE started it

 

Bunny Boy

Fair enough

But Inukai-san?

You’re the best person I know at this sort of thing

I’m sure this will just be a bump in the road

 

DogWhisperer

Aww, you think so?

 

Bunny Boy

Well… yeah

You’re quite the peacemaker!

It’s one of the things that makes you such a good Precure, I think

 

DogWhisperer

You’re so genuine, Satoru-kun

Thanks for the pick-me-up

 

Bunny Boy

Oh uh

Anytime!

 

----------

 

Direct Messages Between DogWhisperer and AGoodGirl

 

DogWhisperer

Hey Komugi?

Komugi where are you?

You weren’t there when I woke up…

Komugi this isn’t funny

I know you’re mad at me but this is a bit much, right?

I got you a phone for a reason Komugi please respond!

Please?

Oh gosh

Komugi I’m not upset just let me know you’re okay

Komugi…

 

----------

 

Direct Messages Between DogWhisperer and Bunny Boy

 

DogWhisperer

Thanks for telling me Komugi is alright

 

Bunny Boy

Of course!

 

DogWhisperer

She really is alright?

I mean physically she is but…

 

Bunny Boy

She’s… having a rough time

But I promise you it’s nothing unsalvageable

She’s just dealing with a lot of… new emotions

I really don’t think she’s felt anything this complicated before

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah, I’d been wondering

She looks about our age, but she acts so childish sometimes

Like she has no idea how the world works

 

Bunny Boy

She really just doesn’t

She’s gone from experiencing everything from a dog’s point of view, to a human’s

It’s bound to be jarring

She’s… dealing.

As best she can right now, I think

 

DogWhisperer

That’s good

Thanks for the reassurance

 

Bunny Boy

Anytime you need it

 

DogWhisperer

Also tell Daifuku that I’m grateful he’s keeping Komugi company

 

Bunny Boy

Will do!

Though it’s no skin off his back I’m sure

They really seem to be good friends

 

DogWhisperer

I know, it’s so cute

…I still want to see human Daifuku

 

Bunny Boy

You and me both

GROUPCHAT - Animal Town Precure Team

 

Mey Mey

Continuing from where I was so rudely abandoned-

 

Bunny Boy

I think they’re still on their walk, Mey Mey.

 

Mey Mey

What? Surely they’re back by now!

 

Bunny Boy

I think they wanted to make up for lost time, since they haven’t gone on a walk since they started arguing yesterday

 

Mey Mey

A silly thing in the first place.

 

Bunny Boy

It was important to them

And alls well that ends well, right?

 

Mey Mey

That is true…

But it hasn’t ended!

They still won’t listen to me!

 

Bunny Boy

We’ll just have to wait for them to get back

 

DogWhisperer

Sorry Mey Mey!

 

Bunny Boy

See?

 

Mey Mey

As I was saying…

It’s a great service that the Kirarin Lion is now back with us, and a further fabulous accomplishment to have created the Friend Liberale.

Good work, both of you, and to the Kirarin penguin.

That is all.

 

AGoodGirl

Thanks Mey Mey!

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah, thanks Mey Mey!

 

Mey Mey

Thank you for listening.

Finally. 

 

AGoodGirl

Yeah… I’m glad I listened

 

DogWhisperer

I’m glad I listened, too

 

Mey Mey

…You’re not talking about me, are you.

Well it was nice while it lasted.

 

Bunny Boy

I’m trying to enter the Lion into my maps but

Do I count where it wandered to?

Or just where it initially appeared?

 

DogWhisperer

Is there a pattern to either?

 

Bunny Boy

…No

Maybe they really are random

 

DogWhisperer

That would suck

 

AGoodGirl

We’ve been doing well so far though!

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah, we have!

Especially now

 

Bunny Boy

You do just keep getting better, huh

Wow

 

DogWhisperer

Thanks!

 

----------

 

Direct Messages Between DogWhisperer and Bunny Boy

 

Bunny Boy

So… a new power, huh?

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah

It’s so insane

 

Bunny Boy

I was wondering… What does it feel like?

Whenever TV or whatever else interview the known Precure, they always ask the same questions, y’know?

But I’ve always wondered… what it feels like

 

DogWhisperer

I always used to wonder

It’s crazy that I don’t have to anymore

 

Bunny Boy

I’d bet

 

DogWhisperer

It feels… Warm

Like an emotion turned into a physical feeling

Into a certain power

I can feel it running through my limbs, making me stronger than I could ever be on my own

 

Bunny Boy

Wow

That sounds insane

Cool

But sort of insane

 

DogWhisperer

Right?

And the Friend Liberale was something else entirely

 

Bunny Boy

How so?

 

DogWhisperer

I just… it was sort of like calling on the Kirarin Animals, but, more?

Like, despite having never done it before, I knew exactly what to do

Almost like I was being guided, by myself?

I’m not making much sense

 

Bunny Boy

Just goes to show indescribable it is

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah, indescribable

I bet if you asked Komugi to tell you about it, she’d ramble off a bunch of meaningless sounds

I bet the sounds would make more sense, actually

 

Bunny Boy

Maybe I will ask, next time I see her

 

DogWhisperer

Speaking of…

I’m glad you were there for her today

I was so worried about her… I’m so grateful you took her in like you did

That was very cool of you!

 

Bunny Boy

Oh!

Y’know I was just

Helping a friend

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah, you’re good at that

I’m counting on you going forward, alright?

 

Bunny Boy

Of course

Anything

Notes:

I was rewatching the early episodes in order to write this and... man I love this season. I just love these characters and their silly dynamics so much. I hope you do too!

Again, no promise of updates but... y'know, when I feel like it. I have MANY other WIPs, including some Precure ones! if you liked this fic, you might like some of my others.

Thanks for reading!

Chapter 3: The First Day Of School

Summary:

It's the first day of the new school year, and Komugi isn't super happy about being left out.

Notes:

The hold Wonderful Precure has had on me is so real. I love going back and rewatching episodes to write these chapters, especially after what's been happening recently (Oh my gosh Satoiro canon I am unwell) SO I just had to return to this.

Bunny Boy

Are you ready for the new semester

 

DogWhisperer

Yep!

I’m on my way actually!

Komugi tried to come with me…

Like I know she can talk and turn into a human

But she’s not registered or anything

She can’t come with me

 

Bunny Boy

It didn’t turn into another fight, did it?

 

DogWhisperer

Oh no thank goodness

I distracted her and made a break for it

Like I’ve done every morning since I got her pretty much

 

Bunny Boy

She really loves you

 

DogWhisperer

And I love her back!

She just can’t come with me to school

 

Bunny Boy

That might be interesting though, if we could find a way to make it happen

 

DogWhisperer

Well, do you know anything about getting a dog registered at a middle school?

Because she’s not legally human

 

Bunny Boy

That… Is true

Odd, how that works

Do you think they make exceptions for magical situations?

 

DogWhisperer

If they do I wouldn’t know

Though maybe it’s something to look into

 

Bunny Boy

Even if Mey Mey would probably be upset?

 

DogWhisperer

Oh yeahhh

Sorry Komugi, no school for you

 

Bunny Boy

Oh well

You can spend time with her after school

 

DogWhisperer

Maybe I’ll take her out for a snack, since she doesn’t have to stick to a dog diet while in human form

There’s actually a lot of food I wonder if she would like

 

Bunny Boy

That sounds like fun!

 

DogWhisperer

Maybe you could come!

Oh, I’m almost to school

See you soon!

At lunch even if we’re not in the same class

 

Bunny Boy

Right

See you soon!

Why do you have to go to school anyway?

To learn??

Nevermind, I’ll explain this to you later

As always, thank you everyone for your help

The foal is settling back in nicely

 

DogWhisperer

That’s good to hear!

 

AGoodGirl

Tell the Lion thank you too!

Their power was SO cool!!!

 

Mey Mey

I’ll send the message on

 

Bunny Boy

It really was incredible to watch

 

DogWhisperer

Hey um, all this is well and good but

Komugi you can’t just be wandering around like that

Like I’m super grateful you were there to help with the Garu Garu but

What if mom had realized you were missing???

 

Mey Mey

Precure matters are more important!

 

AGoodGirl

I had already eaten lunch!

Mom was busy!

 

Bunny Boy

All's well that ends well, right?

But we do have to figure something out

Since Inukai-san and Komugi-chan being separated isn’t good if another Garu Garu attacks during school hours

Which is entirely possible

 

DogWhisperer

But it’s not like Komugi can just go to school either

 

AGoodGirl

Why not?

 

DogWhisperer

Legal reasons

 

AGoodGirl

What?

 

Mey Mey

A problem for tomorrow!

For now, another denizen of the Niko Garden has returned, and all is well!

 

Bunny Boy

That’s right

Hopefully nothing goes wrong at school tomorrow

 

DogWhisperer

One day at a time, right?

One day at a time

DogWhisperer

Mayu-chan, this is you, right?

 

BallOfYarn

Yes!

 

DogWhisperer

Great!

Sometimes I get a something wrong and I end up texting the wrong person

So I always have to ask

 

BallOfYarn

I understand that

But it’s me!

 

DogWhisperer

I’m sorry your first day at school was so… chaotic

 

BallOfYarn

Oh don’t worry about it!

It wasn’t your fault, after all

And we already knew Animal Town was a budding hotspot…

An attack at school was… unexpected and kinda terrifying, but not too bad I guess?

Sorry, I’m rambling…

 

DogWhisperer

Oh no, don’t worry about it!

That’s right though, didn’t you say you were from Koizumi Gakuen?

The birthplace of Precure?

Animal Town is probably nothing compared to that, huh

 

BallOfYarn

Oh, well, all that was before my time really

Koizumi Gakuen hasn’t been an active hotspot for my entire life

And it’s not the birthplace of Precure as much as the first place they went public, if all the local legends are anything to go by

 

DogWhisperer

That’s true!

I don’t actually know all that much about Precure

I should probably do some research…

 

BallOfYarn

That’s never a bad idea, when living in a hotspot

 

DogWhisperer

Very true!

I never did think Animal Town would become one

 

BallOfYarn

Neither did we, when we moved here

But we’re not that upset

It’s… cool I guess

 

DogWhisperer

Definitely a word for it!

 

BallOfYarn

I just wish I’d gotten a better look at our new Precure!

A few people got footage of them a couple days ago

 

DogWhisperer

Really?

Huh

 

BallOfYarn

Have you not seen it yet?

 

DogWhisperer

I guess not?

 

BallOfYarn

We have two so far!

A pink and a purple, if the videos are anything to go by

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah?

 

BallOfYarn

We don’t know what their names are yet though…

I can’t wait to find out!

Cure Black and Cure White were always my home team, but I want to know who I’m going to be supporting now!

 

DogWhisperer

Awww

I mean

I guess if I hear something I’ll let you know?

 

BallOfYarn

You would?

Oh, thank you Iroha-chan!

 

DogWhisperer

Don’t mention it!

I just hope the rest of the year goes a little smoother

 

BallOfYarn

Oh yes

That would be nice

DogWhisperer

Satoru-kun helpppp

 

Bunny Boy

Oh uh

Inukai-san are you alright?

 

DogWhisperer

So I exchanged numbers with Mayu-chan at school today right?

 

Bunny Boy

Right!

I should as well

She seemed so nice

 

DogWhisperer

Awww yeah you two would make such good friends

That’s not the point right now tho

 

Bunny Boy

What happened?

 

DogWhisperer

I was texting her to make sure I’d gotten the right information, and also to apologize for the attack at school today, right?

 

Bunny Boy

Right

You’re considerate like that

 

DogWhisperer

Aww thanks

Anyway, she says it’s no big deal really, and I remember she’s from Koizumi Gakuen, and so then we start talking about Precure

 

Bunny Boy

Ohhhh I see

You’re having secret troubles again

 

DogWhisperer

I’m REALLY BAD at hiding information, Satoru-kun!

I didn’t even last two days before telling you

 

Bunny Boy

More like before dramatically revealing yourself

But yes, I see where you’re coming from

 

DogWhisperer

She said she was excited to know our local Precure’s names so she’d know who to cheer for

And I dunno, I guess I never considered people cheering for us?

 

Bunny Boy

Precure do tend to become a sort of celebrity

A class of their own, really

 

DogWhisperer

Ahhhhhh I didn’t think about that

 

Bunny Boy

And besides

You and Komugi already have me cheering for you, right?

 

DogWhisperer

I guess

I really appreciate it, too

 

Bunny Boy

It’s sort of cool, getting to be the first person to know your names

I get to be the first one to cheer for Cure Wonderful, and Cure Friendy

 

DogWhisperer

Awww

Well, thank you for cheering

 

Bunny Boy

I’m sure Nekoyashiki-san will cheer too, once she knows your names

 

DogWhisperer

Oh gosh

What if a reporter asks my name and I say Inukai Iroha instead of Cure Friendy

Like

What then???

Mey Mey would be so mad…

 

Bunny Boy

I wonder if you would, though

Since I’ve only ever seen you call Komugi “Cure Wonderful” When she was transformed

And she calls you Friendy

Even when you’re both alone

 

DogWhisperer

Huh

Huh

That’s very weird

 

Bunny Boy

Yeah, I was sort of wondering about it

I wonder if it’s magic?

 

DogWhisperer

I guess?

It’s all magic, to be fair

 

Bunny Boy

That’s true

Would be interesting to experiment with though!

 

DogWhisperer

Maybe we should make a list, and then one of these days we can test a bunch of stuff when there’s not a crisis

 

Bunny Boy

That could be fun

 

DogWhisperer

There’s still SO much about everything that we don’t know…

 

Bunny Boy

Hey I mean

You’ve only just started, right?

Give it time, and the answers will come

 

DogWhisperer

Thanks Satoru-kun

You always know what to say

 

Bunny Boy

Oh

You’re welcome

 

DogWhisperer

Now all we’ve gotta do is figure out what we’re going to do with Komugi while we’re at school

 

Bunny Boy

True

Notes:

Writing Satoru and Iroha is so fun because they just genuinely have so much chemistry? Like, he loves complimenting and supporting her, and she just takes that in stride, and appreciates him so much for it. Writing them interacting it's like... girl how did you not realize you liked him earlier. Then again, I can't really blame her lol. Feelings are hard!

Watching the early episodes is the same way, she's always given him special attention, she's always so happy when she sees him, she's always thanking him so genuinely for his help... like bro. The hold they have on meeee

Until next time! (I am reasonably sure I'm gonna update again this time lol)

Chapter 4: Niko Diamond Miracle

Summary:

Komugi gets to go to school!

Notes:

Sending the dog to school was one of the best decisions this season made. Like, it makes sense if they want all their characters in the same place, but it's just SO FUNNY.

(This takes place during episode 9!)

DogWhisperer

Satoru-kun you are not going to believe what just happened

Honestly my entire life has been one shock after another ever since last school year ended

 

Bunny Boy

Inukai-san?

No I understand that

It’s been kind of a lot already

What happened this morning?

 

DogWhisperer

Well for one thing I woke up and Mey Mey was in my room

 

Bunny Boy

Um

Why?

 

DogWhisperer

He came by to tell us that the Niko Diamond had granted us a miracle, and Komugi can go to school with us

He had a uniform for her and everything

Apparently it’s just… fine

 

Bunny Boy

Well

I guess the problem is solved?

If she really does get to go

 

DogWhisperer

I’m a little worried

But like

It should be fine, right?

 

Bunny Boy

Honestly I’m more curious about the logistics of this all

Is the Niko Diamond the centerpiece of the Niko Garden?

How would that influence paperwork?

Komugi doesn’t legally exist as a human

How did it fix that?

 

DogWhisperer

Uhhhhhhhhh

No idea

I feel like Mey Mey was saying something, but…

 

Bunny Boy

You were too excited about going to school with Komugi to listen

 

DogWhisperer

Maaaybe?

You’ve got to admit that’s exciting

Wouldn’t you be over the moon to take Daifuku to school

 

Bunny Boy

Well yes

But you probably should listen to Mey Mey sometimes

 

DogWhisperer

I knowww

But he’s so easy to ignore

(I’m sorry Mey Mey)

 

Bunny Boy

I’ll ask him later

Meet you at school?

 

DogWhisperer

Me and Komugi!

Bunny Boy

@Mey Mey can I ask a question?

 

Mey Mey

Of course Satoru-kun!

 

Bunny Boy

How exactly did the Niko Diamond get Komugi into school?

 

Mey Mey

Oh! Well!

The Niko Diamond is filled with incredible, mysterious power

Its miracles are few, but wondrous!

 

Bunny Boy

Do you know the specifics?

Or is that something only Niko-sama was privy to?

 

Mey Mey

Well

Maybe

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to answer your question

 

Bunny Boy

It’s alright Mey Mey

‘I don’t know’ is still an answer

I was just curious

 

AGoodGirl

Doesn’t matter!

I can go to school with Iroha!!!!!

 

Mey Mey

Yes, well

I am glad you’re grateful for the gift you’ve been given

 

DogWhisperer

Though class is in session so we should probably get off our phones

That includes you Komugi

Since you’re a student

Oh my gosh that’s still wild

And Wonderful

 

AGoodGirl

WONDERFUL

 

Bunny Boy

Yes

Right

GROUPCHAT - Animal Town Precure Team

 

Mey Mey

The duck has arrived safely

Well done, everyone

Your efforts as Precure are truly paying off

 

AGoodGirl

Yep!!

I caught the garu garu with my puni puni barrier!

Just like the ball game!!

 

Mey Mey

Ah

Come again?

 

DogWhisperer

Komugi learned how to be a soccer goalie today, and Satoru-kun told her to catch the duck, like in soccer, and it worked

 

Mey Mey

Ah yes, I am glad to hear of your invaluable aid, Satoru-kun

 

Bunny Boy

I’m really just handing out advice

You two are doing the real heavy lifting

 

AGoodGirl

You do help though!

I wouldn’t have thought of it otherwise

 

DogWhisperer

Heavy lifting is right though…

We’ve been at school TWO DAYS and both times there’s been an attack on school grounds

And we were having an attack pretty much every day of break before that

Do attacks normally happen this often?

Are we an outlier?

Because this feels like a lot

 

Mey Mey

I feel as if I am missing something

 

DogWhisperer

I can’t believe Sho-kun was just carrying it on his head as well

It was an egg!! Not a ball!

 

Mey Mey

LISTEN TO ME.

 

Bunny Boy

Mey Mey you might not know, having been in the Niko Garden for so long, but attacks like these happen every year, to a different town each time, with their own Precure that fight and help

 

Mey Mey

Ah

I see

I must have missed that, somehow

I take it Animal town hasn’t been attacked in the past?

 

Bunny Boy

No, it hasn’t

And as for attack frequency, well

It varies, but we seem to have had an unusual density

Though there’s a large chance that attacks could become more spaced out as the year progresses

They might not, though every day seems like a bit much

 

AGoodGirl

I’m enjoying being Precure though!

 

DogWhisperer

I guess you see it as good exercise, huh

 

AGoodGirl

Plus I like helping the animals

 

DogWhisperer

Yeah, I do too

That is one good thing about them coming so quickly

We can help more that way

 

Mey Mey

There are quite a lot of Niko Animals missing

It is possible that this density may continue

 

DogWhisperer

We’ll take it as it comes, I guess

 

Mey Mey

In the meanwhile, the Niko Animals are quite grateful for your help

 

AGoodGirl

Can I come play with them?

 

Mey Mey

Not right now

 

AGoodGirl

Darn

 

DogWhisperer

We’re happy to help

Really

BallOfYarn

Um Iroha-chan?

Hello

 

DogWhisperer

Mayu-chan!

Hello!

What’s up?

 

BallOfYarn

Oh I just wanted to make sure Dog Komugi was alright

Since she followed you all the way to school

She got home okay?

I didn’t get a chance to ask earlier

 

DogWhisperer

Oh yeah!

Don’t worry about her, she’s a hardy one!

 

BallOfYarn

You were lucky you were away from school during the lunch break though

There was another attack

 

DogWhisperer

There was?

Wow

That’s crazy

 

BallOfYarn

I know, right?

No one got hurt, thank goodness

But some students were watching from the windows, and apparently the damage to the yard was pretty severe before it was fixed

The monster had a water cannon

 

DogWhisperer

Wild

 

BallOfYarn

We still don’t know our Precure’s names, but someone filmed it, so we know what they look like!

In better quality than before!

 

DogWhisperer

Really?

Huh

I’ll have to see the video

 

BallOfYarn

That’s all I wanted to ask, so

I’ll see you tomorrow?

 

DogWhisperer

Of course!

DogWhisperer

Satoru-kuuuuun

Should we conspire to leak out Cure names to the public?

Should we do that?

 

Bunny Boy

Were you talking to Mayu-chan again?

I suppose it’s not a bad idea to control how that gets out

 

DogWhisperer

Yes I was talking to Mayu-chan

She was asking after Komugi, since she saw her in dog form earlier

Which is very sweet of her but secrets

I am better over chat but

I am So Scared I’m gonna slip up over something

 

Bunny Boy

Well the best way to avoid that is to get your story straight ahead of time

For example, if anyone asks why your cousin and your dog have the same name, you might be able to say you named your dog after your cousin when you were younger

Since she reminded you of her

 

DogWhisperer

You’re so smart Satoru-kun

What would I do without you, really

 

Bunny Boy

Oh um

I’m sure you’d be fine

But…

Thanks

 

DogWhisperer

I’m so glad you know

I don’t think I’d be able to do this on my own, really

Today even

Without you we would have taken much longer to figure that out

Thank you so much

 

Bunny Boy

You’re welcome, Inukai-san

I appreciate it

Notes:

Guys we're a week into November, and already every single day this month I've been suffering over the lack of the new trademark. Darn my ADHD hyperfixating on literally just the idea of something!!! I've written this chapter to cope.

Watching episode nine again was so funny, because Satoru and Iroha really just act like they're co-parenting Komugi the entire episode and it's HILARIOUS. Most of the time Iroha and Komugi are solidly siblings, but in this episode Iroha was definitely Mom. Satoru also stepping up to help was great. Give this boy a medal (Or a Precure name. Toei you COWARDS-)

Until next time!

Notes:

I am completely unsure of when/if I'm ever going to update this, but commenting about the story sure would help. Getting comments always brightens my day.

Until next time, whenever that may be.
