Kirakira☆Precure A La Mode EP31 - Hold Back the Tears! The Reason For Ichika's Smile!

Ichika's mother, Satomi, finally returns from her overseas work, so the others encourage Ichika to spend some family time with her. Learning that Satomi has to go back the next day, Ichika tries to make the strawberry shortcake she was going to make her before. All of her attempts end up in failure, as she discovers her cakes are lacking in kirakiral due to her conflicted emotions. Sensing that Ichika had been forcing herself to smile despite her loneliness, Satomi encourages her to let out all the tears she had been holding back. Finding her true smile afterwards, Ichika finishes her cake and sees Satomi off before joining the others Cures in fighting against Glaive, during which the remaining crystal changes shape. Meanwhile, Noir fills Bibly with more darkness, giving her one more chance to defeat the Cures.
