Ép. 44: Mana fait face à un piège de la Saint-Valentin tendu par Regina lors d'un concours d'éloquence.

44

Mana is approached about a Student Council President Speech Contest, which unfortunately takes place on Christmas Eve. Despite Mana's objections, Rikka urges her to go ahead with the contest and fills in for her student council duties in her stead. However, the speech contest turns out to be a trap set by Regina, who traps Mana in a cage, believing that without Mana as their lynch pin, the other Cures will be easily defeated. Meanwhile, Rikka, unaware of Mana's situation, finds encouragement in Mana's notes, but ultimately starts to feel lonely without her. Regina and the Trio then attack the girls with a Christmas Tree Jikochu. However, they are surprised to find the Cures remain strong even without Mana around, because their hearts are always connected. Rikka also manages to get Regina to admit she still loves Mana, who is rescued by Joe and joins the Cures in defeating the Jikochu. (Source: Wikipedia)
