I can't believe we're fabricating a thief to get Hanayo and Yoshiko to work together better.

I have no problem with doing a little improv, but do you think they'll fall for it?

I think it'll be fine.

It'll be fine? How can you say that?

This is Yoshiko we're talking about. There's no way she'd ignore that kind of drama.

Now that you mention it… Maybe you're right.

It was Yoshiko who wanted to do a detective musical in the first place.

And she volunteered herself to be the main character. You can tell she's really excited about it.

She's super passionate about playing her role, way more than everyone else.

I think you're right, Kanan. Yoshiko right now would totally fall for a made-up incident about a thief.

Well, her extra enthusiasm is partly what's keeping her from working well with Hanayo, so she might need to tone it down.

All right, let's get this thievery started. Hmm… First, we should hide the tablecloth.

Oh, Kanata told us to use this, too.

What's this? A card?

It's a note the thief leaves after stealing a treasure.

“I've taken your tablecloth. —Mysterious Thief K,” huh. *Giggle* Someone is enjoying this.

Haha! Kanata is super into this.

Everyone's into it, huh.

Don't you enjoy this sort of thing too, Eli?

*Giggle* Now that we've decided to do it, we might as well enjoy ourselves!
