Mogami: At first I thought it was only a first-class picture... And then I realized, no...it has a greater impact... Sunao: % But I've got to run away! % I don't want to get rough, but... % It can't be helped. % Shinburyuu...! Mogami: But I've finally got you! And I'll make sure you fulfill all my wishes... pg 39 Mogami: AS THE BEST MODEL IN THE WORLD!! Sunao: Mo...del? Mogami: Girls THESE DAYS face the camera lens, always striking MEANINGLESS POSES... NO!! What I want is to show A YOUNG GIRL'S HEART as it is! pg 40 Mogami: What's IMPORTANT in the CHAOTIC EXISTENCE of TRANQUILITY is CHARISMA!! A girl OVERFLOWING with PURITY! And so I'll make you my MODEL and take PICTURES OF YOU in a book! The title..."The Megami"!! ...ah, no. Even better that "The Megami"... Make it in English! "The Goddess"!! That's the image... Sunao: % ...then that picture... % It wasn't a scoop on a thief... Mogami: But it's best to keep it simple...one hundred pages, hard cover book... Oh, if we're keeping it simple, the for the first addition printing, free gifts for the primiere! No, not just the premiere- this book'll be a BEST SELLER!! Sunao: % He just wants pictures of a pretty girl?! Mogami: (Fufufufu!) Sunao: (Goddess....) pg 41 Sunao: % But I've got to run for it now! Sunao: A-arm... Mogami: "Oh, your arms are so strong..." "May I see more of your pictures?" Of course! ... Sunao: Tooru-senpai! Mogami: (UWAAAAAAAAH! Where she GO?!) Tooru: Who was that guy? (Weird hair.) Mogami: (I didn't get her address or her telephone number or her cell number...no, not even her NAME, my goddess~) Sunao: ...I-I don't know, but he grabbed my arm all of a sudden... pg 42 Sunao: What do I do, Tooru-senpai!! He took a picture of me stealing the Glass Bead! If that gets out... Mogami: That's right!! I'll just take this picture and I'll- Mogami: ... Kaoru: We're lucky he was such an idiot! Sunao: Kaoru-senpai!! pg 43 Kaoru: Now, let's run off, okay? Sunao: % ...they saved me again... Tooru: (Did you actually want to be a model?) Sunao: (Um...) Sunao: % They really are protecting me...!! Mogami: ...what's one or two scoops to this... Mogami: I... I WILL NOT GIVE UP!! pg 44 Kaoru: We have two Glass Beads now. Sunao: But how many does our rival "B" have? Kaoru: "B" has two as well. One he stole from the museum... And he stole another one before that. We need THREE to get ahead. pg 45 Kaoru: If we can do it, I want us to be ahead of "B". ...but.. This...is going to be a little hard. Sunao: NAK Enterprises? Kaoru: The company president from this place...she has the Glass Bead. She's a huge collector of high-quality jewels. pg 46 Kaoru: So she's created a lot of crime-prevention devices. Kaoru: % First, everyone leaves the building at six... % Then, all of the doors have autolocks that shut. % Then there's a system that alerts guards of any movement. % Then the walls of the actual room are thirty centimeters % thick, no windows, and the door is bulletproof. % The door, the floor, and the air ducts all have infrared % sensors installed. % On the bottom of each jewel box, there's another single % sensor. % If you pick it up, emergency alarms will go off, and there's % only thirty seconds until the guards get there. pg 47 Kaoru: And finally, the guards and the security cameras are on twenty-four hours a day. It's a problem, because the Glass Bead is in that room. Sunao: But then we won't be able to steal i- Kaoru: We can. The key is... Speed and teamwork. pg 48 Kaoru: I've come up with a plan. At exactly six... I'll hack into the computer system, and stop everything in the security systems. But I can only stop it for ONE MINUTE. After that, the backup system will take over. In that one minute, Sunao and Tooru, you'll go in and steal it. Got it? Sunao: Okay! Sunao: % (UWAAAAAAAAAAAH!) % This time feels like a real, full-dress thing!! Banner: Thief Full-Dress Version (...?) pg 49 Sunao: % And while we're stealing this time... % If something like... % That... % Or like this...happens... Kaoru: Sunao-chan, are you listening? pg 50 Sunao: % Nooo! Focus, focus Kaoru: Are you nervous because this time might be hard? Kaoru: Sunao-chan, you'll be fine though! Sunao: Ah, yup, I'll do my best! Sunao: % One my one, they make my heart pound~!! % Yes! Focus, focus!! Kaoru: ? pg 51 Tooru: The closest room to where we want to get in is up here. We'll wait here until six, when Kaoru gets everything offline and gives us the all-clear. pg 52 Sunao: Wah... The rooftop is a garden... pg 53 Sunao: The company president here has really nice interests. Tooru: Let's stay under that tree for now. Sunao: % The sunlight peeking through all the leaves... % It's so pretty... % And very romantic! % Staying in a place like this...it doesn't seem at all like % we're thieves about to break in... % It's like a date... pg 54 Sunao: % With my boyfriend... pg 55 Tooru: Sunao! Sunao: ! Sunao: KYA- Tooru: Be careful. Sunao: !! pg 56 Tooru: Here. I figured we'd be waiting a while, so I brought this. Sunao, you want one too? (It'll calm you down...) Sunao: Ah, sure, thanks! Sunao: % ...geez. % At this kind of important time... % At this kind of really improper time, I'm daydreaming... % Of a boyfriend... % The one...I love... Tooru: ...Sunao. Are you feeling well enough to go steal it? pg 57 Sunao: HUH? (Why?!) Tooru: You seem kind of out of it. Sunao: I-i-it's fine! I'm okay, I'm okay! I'm totally okay! (I'll be fine when we have to go!) Tooru: ...really? Sunao: I'll use all my power of concentration! Tooru: Then... Can you catch this leaf? If I let go of it this way, can you catch it? Sunao: I know I can! pg 58 Sunao: Huh? Do it again! Tooru: (Sure.) Huh?! Sunao: Why~ why~?! Do it again! Do it again! (That can't beee!) Tooru: Sorry, sorry! You're erally trying as hard as you can to figure it out, and I'm tricking you. Sunao: (HUH?) pg 59 Tooru: When you look at it and decide to grab it with your fingers, by the time the thought reaches your mind that it's falling, it's already too late. Nobody can really catch it. Sunao: Senpai... Do it one more time! Tooru: Hm? Sure. pg 60 Sunao: (Eheh!) I'm really good with things involving a sixth sense. Obaachan told me... That you have to be able to "read people's hearts"... Tooru: Read hearts? Sunao: Ah, well...I don't know, it's more like a sixth sense, I think... Tooru: ...cool. Then I still need work. Magic... It has a lot of tricks in it that involve reading a person's heart, and then using it to your advantagee. pg 61 Tooru: And then...there's performances, on the other hand. You can't let anyone else realize your tricks... And have a poker face at the same time... ...that guy... We may live together, but... Even now, I can never know what he's thinking... pg 62 Sunao: ? pg 63 Sunao: A rainbow... Tooru: Pretty... Tooru: $ Pretty... Tooru: Do you know about that ledgend? pg 64 Tooru: "There is a treasure sleeping underneath a rainbow." Sunao: Oh, right! But that ledgend must be true! There's that "treasure" on the floor underneath us! Ah, it disappeared to soon... (Aw...) Sunao: (I want to try!) Tooru: ..now... Arrow: She did it Tooru: Inside me... I have a rainbow that won't ever disappear. pg 65 Tooru: It's my- pg 66 Sunao: % ...what...? Tooru: ...it's time. Let's go. Sunao: Right... Tooru: $ It's my...
