After their short visit to the Elder, he told Tarte to go to the Mushy Bean Woods and get the item deep inside the shrine. As Tarte and the Cures went to the Mushy Bean Woods, Azukina went to the forest and unsealed the Mashin monster that was imprisoned deep in the forest.
Unlocking the Clover Music Box[]
In the Mushy Bean Woods, Tarte learns that Azukina has been wanting him to come back, and reveals that she released the seal of the Mashin monster so he can't get the item the Elder told him. Although Tarte is upset learns the truth, he still protects his fiancee even if the Mashin monster is proven to be too powerful for both him and the Pretty Cures. Azukina takes matters in her own hands and goes to the shrine, evading some of the monster's attacks until it gets her. But her determination and her love to Tarte made her not give up and finally got the item in the shrine, which turns out to be the Clover Box. As the song from the box calms the Mashin monster, Cure Peach purifies it using Love Sunshine Fresh and sealed it back. After that, they return to the Elder and he is amazed that they all got the item and he entrusted the Clover Music Box to Tarte.
