Sunao: And... pg 6 Tooru: $ We're...brothers, yeah, but... Kaoru: $ For Tooru's father, and... Tooru: $ ...Kaoru's mother, it's a second marriage for both of them. $ Kaoru uses his old name for school, though. $ (It's convienient for us to hide our identities, too.) $ Well, even so... pg 7 Tooru: $ We're not related by blood. Sunao: % Ah, it's like a drama~~~ Guy: ...um. pg 8 Man: Oh, Mogami-kun. Do you have THE pictures? Mogami: Yes. Man: ... Hmm... Pretty good. pg 9 Man: Keep it up. It's the hit section, you know. "THE SCOOP! POPULAR IDOL IN ENCHANTING PAJAMAS!" Mogami: ...no. I don't want to take meaningless pictures like these... These are all worthless! pg 10 Mogami: No other picture in the world moves me like this. ...but... I just need to find that girl...!! I'll find her! I swear it! Sunao: HM? pg 11 Sunao: FUBUKI CHINA?! The idol?! Kaoru: Yup. Sunao: % It's our next heist!! Sunao: THAT'S in China-chan's house? Arrow: That Tooru: Supposed to be. They don't have many guards. Typical. (That mean's they've got a security system or something.) It won't be easy getting in. pg 12 Kaoru: Unless we use a SHINBURYUU technique, that is. Sunao: HUH? ...you mean...I'M going in? Kaoru: We'll going to go take the security system offline, so- Sunao: You MEAN... FUBUKI CHINA.. She's so popular! She's so COOL at SINGING and DANCING! (I have all of her CDs!) She has the LEAD in the SEPTEMBER DRAMA! All girls model themselves after her in fashion! (I buy the same clothes as her!) She's the NUMBER ONE PERSON you'd want to be your BIG SISTER, AND YOU'RE SAYING I GET TO GO INSIDE HER HOUSE?! I'M SO NERVOUS, KYAAAAA~!! Kaoru: Wow, Sunao-chan's a fan! (Get her autograph!) Tooru: (She's a THIEF.) Sunao: % Mmm...but~~~ % I'd really like to see what a celebrity's room looks like... pg 13 Sunao: % Shinburyuu... % TATSUNAMI! Lesson: "Tatsunami" is a one-second jump when you soar like a wave crashing against a rock. Basically, a high jump. Sunao: % I...I did it! ...somehow. Sunao: % Uwaah! Typical house for a celebrity~~~ % It's so bi~~~g, it's so pretty~~! ?: ...n't... ...at... Sunao: % No! People in the house are already awake!! ?: You want to CANCEL the concert?! pg 14 Sunao: % ?! Father: Don't be an idiot, we can't do that!! Girl: Then postpone it. Papa, Mama...I'm exhausted. Mother: You just WENT to Hawaii for a vacation, didn't you? Sunao: % That voice... % It's China-chan... China: How is it a vacation when I have cameras watching my every move? I can't stand my life this way- how I always have to dress up, and be careful whenever I go somewhere... ...I'm going insane. Father: Then if you're going to be selfish and quit working, what's going to happen to our business?! China: I don't hate working! I just... I just want a little freedom... pg 15 Sunao: % ...I see. % I always thought that celebrities were really lucky, but... % It turns out she has a pretty hard life... China: Kyaa! Who are you?!

She's so pretty! % I want her autograph!!! % ...but it's NOT THE TIME!! % I have to run for it! pg 16 China: Are you a fan? Sunao: ...huh? China: ...this makes the third one. Security systems these days don't work very well. Well, you heard that talk just now, didn't you? Are you satisfied now? To know how I really feel? Or are you going to have it published in the newspaper now?! Sunao: Um, I... I wasn't trying to... I'M JUST A THIEF!! pg 17 Sunao: % Ah, I'm so stupid! China: ...I'm suprised. You're still a child, aren't you? I'll tell you now, there's no cash in the house. It's all in the bank. Sunao: I'm not after money! I'm looking for something. China: Hm... Here...take it. It's the key to the office. ...take whatever you like! My parents like to look rich, so they've decorated the office with all kinds of stuff. I'll cut off the security there, too. Today's the concert, so everyone should be out. Sunao: % Huh? China: But in exchange... pg 18 China: Steal me as well. ...just kidding, you know. Mother: China! China: It's hard for people to see this room, so you should be all right if you leave out the window. pg 19 Sunao: B-But! China: Hurry! You don't want to get caught, do you? Mother: (Did something happen?) China: (No, I was reading a book.) Sunao: % ...she let me escape. pg 20 Sunao: % Even though... Sunao: $ I'd really like to see what a celebrity's room looks like!

(There weren't traps or anything?!) Sunao: Nope. The key China-chan gave me was the real one. And just like she said, there weren't any people inside. Tooru: I see... Sunao: I was...really lucky today, wasn't I? ...senpai. I have a request. pg 24 Man: Three minutes till stage lights! Change your costume, and hurry! pg 25 Mother: China.

Note: To China-chan: This is a disguise, please wear it! pg 32 Note: P.S.: I kept my promise!! China: Thank you... Cute thief-san. Man: Where'd China go? (You look for her, too!) Tell the audience that we're taking a break! Sunao: Looks like senpai helped her out. I'd better hurry and run for it, too... pg 33 Sunao: Ah! Sunao: % Ah, I forgot I had this... % I've gotta be more careful. % If I broke it, I bet the rose-colored-vision would glow... Sunao: (Good thing I didn't.) But everything went well this time!
