~ The Appearance of the Phantom Thief ~
(When the five members were having fun on the ship, the Phantom Thief appeared and stole--?!)
On Smiley
Hagumi: Amazing. Amazing amazing ama~zing~!!!
Misaki: Hagumi, shut up. You're noisy.
Hagumi: But! Look outside! That scenery!
Kanon: That's amazing! Misaki-chan, look, it's so pretty!
Misaki: Ah... That's true. IT's much better than expected...
Kokoro: I guess it has been an hour since we left the harbor? Then it's about time we go onto the deck!
Hagumi: Deck? That's cool! Hagumi wants to go!
Kanon: Ehehe. I can't believe we are able to see the night scenery on such a splendid ship.
Kanon: Though we gathered just to decide the next practice date. We really have to thank Kokoro-chan.
Misaki: But we haven't decided on the date in the end though...
Mystery group in suits: Matsuhara-sana, we are sorry to interrupt you but we have found a suitable
attire for you. Please change over here.
Kanon: Huh? Um...
Hagumi: Kokoron! Let's go onto the deck already! Where's the exit?!
Kokoro: It's that way! Let's g---
Hagumi: Ehhhhhhhh?! W-Why is it all dark suddenly?!
Kokoro: What happened?
Misaki: It's it just a blackout? The lights will be back on shortly. It's such a huge ship after all. I'm sure
there's some generator somewhere.
Misaki: Look, the lights are back on, aren't they.... Huh?
???: Welcome on board "Smiley", everyone. It's a wonderful night, isn't it, my cute little princesses*
Hagumi: Wow! Who's that?
Kokoro: Hmm... That's not someone I know.
Misaki: That voice... sounds kinda familiar...
???: Ahahaha. My name is "Phantom Thief Hello Happy". On this wonderful night, I've came to steal what I want.
Misaki: What a lame name! Is that name fine with you?!
Kokoro: Phantom Thief-san! You stand out so much! You remind me of that time when I first met Kaoru! Won't you enter Hello Happy (the band)?
Misaki: No way, what are you saying in this situation? We don't even know who this is!
Kokoro: And Phantom-Thief-san, what is the thin that you want?
Misaki: Don't ignore my opinion.
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: The thing I want... I'll let you know as a parting thief.
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: It's sudden but I'll take this beautiful princess with me.
Kanon: Hya?!
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Ahh, my trapped little princess. Don't make that worried face. Don't worry,
there's nothing scary.
Kanon: P-Please let me go...!
Hagumi: Kanon-chan-senpai?! Eh, when did she change into an attire for a princess?
Kokoro: Phantom Thief-san! What do you plan to do to Kanon?!
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: I don't intend to do anything. I just want to play a game with you all.
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Listen up. If you guys are able to catch me then I'll return this princess to
you.
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: First, I'll wait at the Casino! Farewell!
Kanon: Kya! Please save me!!
Hagumi: H-He left while carrying Kanon-chan-senpai?!
Kokoro: Let's catch up then!
Hagumi: Mi-kun! Come along! Let's catch the Phantom Thief together!
Misaki: Okay, okay.
Kokoro: Kaoru, you're going too!
Kokoro: Huh? Where did Kaoru go to?
Hagumi: Ehhh?! Kaoru-kun is missing too?!
Misaki: Hm... So that's how it is... With that voice and that elaborate appearance and the missing
Kaoru. So, as I suspected, the Phantom Thief can only be that person.
Kokoro: She must be lost! Well we'll find Kaoru later. For now, let's hurry to save Kanon!
Hagumi: Yes I'm worried for her too!
Misaki: You don't have to be so anxious. The Phantom Thief said he will not do anything to her.
Hagumi: But he's a Phantom Thief you know? Kanon-chan-senpai will get this and that and
thaaaaaaaaat done to her!!
Misaki: Calm down. I'm sure that Phantom Thief wouldn't do something like that.
Kokoro: It doesn't matter what kind of Phantom Thief he is. Kanon is my precious friend! Now, let's head
to the casino!
Hagumi: Kokoron, wait up!
Misaki: Okay, okay. I have no idea what that Phantom Thief is thinking but I guess I'll follow along for
now. Hey the two of you, the casino isn't that way!
Clarifications:
(1) Princesses: Kaoru uses Ojou-san here but I stuck to princesses to make it sound better.
T/N: As usual, we have until Episode 6 and an Ending chapter and later also the first side story for the event card, which is a slight continuation of the event story itself. Stay tuned!
