The Phantom Thief and The Cruise Ship Event Story Episode 4: The Phantom Thief as a Director
~ The Phantom Thief as a Director ~
(Upon reaching the theater, the Phantom Thief picked Misaki to be his opponent?!)
Smiley, Theater
Hagumi: We've reached! This theater is so huge! It looks like it can fit 10, 000 people inside here!
Misaki: It's impossible to fit that many... If 10, 000 people board the ship, it will sink...
Kokoro: Phantom Thief-san, we're here! What are we competing in now?
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Oho, you'll know soon.
Misaki: Ah, the stage is getting all lighted up... such a dramatic entrance.
Detective-Phantom Thief Hello Happy: All of you detective-san, it will be the opening act soon! For now,
just make yourself comfortable on those empty seats.
Misaki: Opening act...?
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: That's of course, about a play.
Hagumi: A play? This is the first time Hagumi is watching a play! I'm so excited! Since you are a
phantom thief... will you be performing some tricks?
Misaki: Hagumi, that's a magic show. It's different from the play which that phantom thief is speaking
about.
Kokoro: Guys, then let's head to the front seats! Let's view Phantom Thief-san's show in close view!
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Oh, it's time. Is everyone seated?
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Now then, it's showtime! This time, I'll also ask the imprisoned Princess to
help me out.
Kanon: Imprisoned... Could that be...
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Of course, that's you, my Pincess. Do you see that chair in the middle of
the stage? Would you sit on that chair and wait?
Kanon: Eh? O-Okay...
Hagumi: It's Kanon-chan-senpai! Wow, she's unharmed, Kokoron!
Kokoro: Kanon! Wait a while, we'll come and save you now!
Kanon: Um... Alright...
Kanon: (When I thought that I was kidnapped, I was asked to wait in a cabin and now, I'm brought
here...)
Kanon: (I don't understand what's happening at all...)
Misaki: Then what are we doing this time?
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Well, why don't we have a twist to our competition this time?
Kokoro: We'll definitely win! Come at us with any plan of yours!
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: It's fine to be hyped but the loser will definitely be... You. That princes there
with beautiful black hair.
Misaki: Huh? Me?
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: I haven't had a competition with you yet. Now, let's start the game.
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Here, Princess, plead too.
Kanon: Huh? Um... okay...
Kanon: Misaki-chan...p-please?
Misaki: *sighs* Okay, I got it. What are we competing in?
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Would you give the Princess here a love confession?
Misaki: WHAAAATTT?!
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: I love acting and I love watching people's acting too. If your acting skills
are good, I'll return her to you.
Hagumi: Love confession! If we succeed, we'll get Kanon-chan-senpai back!
Kokoro: That's great, Hagumi! Kanon will come back to us soon!
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Come onto the stage! You'll be acting here.
Misaki: I refuse.
Misaki: And why do I need to do this in the first place? Since it came down to this...
Misaki: That voice, that style of talking, that posture... I knew it from the start!
Misaki: Phantom Thief, your true identity is---!
Hagumi: Mi-kun, please! Confess to Kanon-chan-senpai!
Kokoro: It's just like Hagumi said! This is where we see if Kanon will be returned to us. Do your best
with the love confession!
Hagumi: Hagumi will support you with her full power!
Misaki: ..............!
Misaki: (D-Don't look at me with such serious eyes, the both of you! You're making me look like I'm the
bad guy!!)
Kanon: Misaki-chan, do your best!
Misaki: (Kanon-san too?! I thought she already knew who the Phantom Thief is...)
Misaki: *sigh* I get it. I'll do it. I just have to confess, right...
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Ohoho, I suspected you'll say that. The setting is that you are a prince who
is confessing his love to the princess. And now, Act: Love Confession. Start!
Misaki: U-Um... B-Beautiful princess... I love... y-you...
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Is that it? You need to convey your love more.
Misaki: Okay... Every since the first time our eyes met... My heart was stolen...
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: I'm not feeling your love yet. Take this seriously.
Misaki: I'm always thinking about you. And all in all, I love you.
Misaki: Ugh! Isn't this fine already?! Asking me to do a love confession scene so suddenly! I have no
idea what to say!!!
Hagumi: Hagumi knows nothing about acting but I think that sucked...
Kokoro: It didn't pull at my heartstrings so I think we won't win like this.
Kanon: That's not true. Misaki-chan put in a lot of effort. I felt it.
Misaki: (Haha... Well, if Kanon-san is okay with it, I guess it's fine then...)
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: A love confession needs to be done more smartly. For instance...
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: "My beautiful Princess, do you know how much I think of your everyday?
No matter whether I'm asleep or awake, only thoughts of you fill my
head."
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: "The sinful you who stole my heart, I love you."
Kanon: Though this is just acting, my heart is... But this feeling from acting... I remember it from
somewhere...?
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Unless you show me an acting of this level, I'll take it that I won this
competition too!
Phantom Thief Hello Happy: Ohoho, it's so fun competing with you guys! Let's do ore fun things
together! If you refuse, I'll not return the Princess to you.
Kanon: Kya!
Hagumi: EHHHH?! He left with Kanon-chan-senpai without telling us where the next location would be!
Kokoro: They'll definitely be going straight down this path! Let's catch up!
Misaki: How much longer will we continue this? I'm so tired already, can it end with the next one
already? Phantom Thief! Wait up!
T/N: Just a few more chapters to go and the event story will end. It;s so sad since this has been one of the very fun ones too. I swear Kokoro has the ability to turn things fun!
