How awful.
Menou's Warning Letter
Tomorrow night at 7 o'clock, I will come to take the Agate Links.
This is Suzaki, reporting from the front of Lagaris Art Museum.
This time Dark's target is this antique artwork, the Agate Links.
This artwork, whose creator is unknown, was donated three days ago,
but due to the arrival of Dark's warning letter,
it is very crowded with general visitors and press.
Excuse me! Please do not come any closer than that!
You say that, but I can't see!
Hey, don't push me!
I'll make tomorrow's front page with this!
I won't have a problem with finding news as long as Dark's around.
What is this?
Well then, see you later!
Wait, Dai!
Don't be too late today, okay?
I know, and you should stop sending warning letters without letting me know.
Oh, this time the warning letter wasn't sent by me.
Your grandfather sent it.
Grandpa?
Why?
Well, you know...
Why, Grandpa?
Well, you know.
Oh, no!
I'll be late!
Hey, Niwa!
What is it, Sekimoto?
Did you see that?
That?
I mean that.
What is Saehara doing?
I don't know, but he's been like that for a long time.
Do you think he likes flowers?
That can't be it!
He's pulling the petals
and playing "Loves me, loves me not" or something!
Yeah.
Today has been a strange day.
Saehara...
Eat it!
Don't worry, just eat it!
Once you're done eating, look!
Look at what?
Here!
What's special about this girl?
At the art museum where Dark sent his warning letter yesterday...
She seemed to be there.
Seemed to be there?
I accidentally got a shot of her with my digital camera.
That's weird.
For a girl like that to be in a high-security display room?
No, I don't think it necessarily means she's suspicious.
That's not the point!
Look at the picture again, carefully.
I did.
Don't you feel anything?
Well...
Isn't she cute?!
I want to see her in person and really talk and stuff!
Oh, that? She might be there again if you go to the art museum.
You idiot! There is no way she'd be somewhere with that kind of security!
Today is the day that Dark will show!
But I've decided!
If I see her again, I'll definitely ask her for her name!
That's right! I'd better be going home now. If I see her again, I'll definitely ask her for her name!
That's right! I'd better be going home now. I'll ask for her phone number too! And her hobbies and...
I'll ask for her phone number too! And her hobbies,
Sorry! It's about time for dinner. I have to go home.
And to have dinner with her... Sorry! It's about time for dinner. I have to go home.
What?!
Here.
Thanks for the ice cream!
Hey, you swindler! Listen to what I have to say!
Not a swindler, but I have to be a Phantom Thief.
Man, without Hiwatari around, things are just too easy.
This is the one.
I'll snap it right up, then.
Who's there?!
Dark, that's her!
The one Saehara was talking about.
Phantom Thief Dark?
Yes.
This... You came here to take this, right?
Precisely.
Then, please, wait one more day.
After that, I will definitely give it to you.
One more day?
One more day. Just one more day...
You won't?
No, I'll accede to the request of a beautiful woman.
But...
Only one more day.
I can't believe it! Come on, Dark!
What was that "request of a beautiful woman" stuff about?!
It's embarrassing!
Oh, I see. So with her asking you that nicely, you'd just take it away from her?
I couldn't. Still...
See, I told you!
In any case, I wonder who that girl is?
I don't understand what she means by "wait one more day."
Did she say that?
Grandpa, why?
I used to sleep alongside you like this when you were little.
Sorry, I couldn't bring it back.
That girl said to wait one more day?
Yeah.
I see.
One day...
She's been waiting for one more day for all this time...
For one more day...
Grandpa...
Even though Dark failed to steal it, this security is too light, Pops.
She was here last night.
Of course she wouldn't be here now, right?
Who is it?
Who are you?
You! From the other day!
I'm not anyone suspicious!
Well, sneaking in is suspicious, but...
I'm just gathering information!
I thought that necklace was Dark's target!
Yes, I asked him to wait one day.
Because it's my important treasure.
Your treasure?
I heard it was donated.
Is it yours?
Yes...
It's an important reminder of a person who's important to me.
Then you don't have to give it up to Dark!
It's better not to lose it, right?
Okay. I'll protect it for you!
Tomorrow, without fail!
I waited one day.
That was our promise, young lady.
You don't have to be caught in the spell of that necklace any longer.
That promise is invalid.
I want you to leave, Phantom Thief Dark!
Safety First I want you to leave, Phantom Thief Dark!
Saehara!
I said leave!
Press I said leave!
Wait!
You!
Hey!
Dark!
Stealing by force from a girl when she doesn't want you to,
is that how you do things?!
Hey! Don't say it in a way that causes a misunderstanding!
A kid shouldn't swing things like that!
Sorry, young lady.
I'll borrow it for now! There's no way I'll let him steal it!
That idiot!
Was the spell broken?
No, not yet.
That girl is caught in the spell of the Agate Links.
Was she someone you knew?
Yes...
After all, that necklace is something I gave her forty years ago.
Let me explain. It wasn't a stolen item.
It was one of our family treasures.
Well, without tracing its origins, I can't know that for certain.
Daisuke, I would like to release her from the spell somehow.
Yeah.
Saehara!
Damn, you're persistent!
I told you that I'm not going to give...
With!
Saehara!
I defended it!
But...
Sorry, it got broken.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Thank goodness.
That's right.
Your...
What is your name?
I am Menou Kurashina.
I really appreciate it.
I've successfully taken the Agate Links from you.
Though I'd intended to break it anyway.
As long as you wear this, you'll stay bound to it.
Until it was donated and I found it,
you had been waiting patiently for all that time.
For forty long years.
Forty years ago, I obediently took up our family business.
I thought that since I was born into this family,
it was the natural thing to do.
I didn't question this Phantom Thief business,
without passion, just doing my job.
But when it was quiet, after people had fallen asleep,
and about the time when I was going home from work,
there was always a window with a small light on.
In there, that girl was lying down
with the bedside light on, looking outside every night.
It was as if that light, in the pitch black town, was calling me.
That's how it felt.
Who is it?
Who are you?
I'm... er... a Phantom Thief...
No, I mean, a friend.
I thought so!
She was shy and frail.
I really liked her face when she laughed every so often.
I wanted to see her smile,
so I just wanted to give her something. For her smile...
I delivered the Agate Links to her while she was asleep.
But she passed away the next day.
I never thought that something like this would happen.
I'll take care of this.
Your feelings are in here.
Material things aren't good, because your feelings stay with them.
I was waiting for a long, long time.
But it ends today.
I can't stay any longer, can I?
No!
Dark, we can't leave things like this.
It doesn't feel right, ending it this way.
Here.
It's broken,
but I think you should keep it.
I finally got to see you.
I've...
I've wanted to tell you for so long.
Thank you!
Thank you, little Mr. Phantom Thief.
But I'm...
I see. So she's gone.
She wanted to thank you for so long, Grandpa.
I don't think Miss Menou was caught in the spell of the Agate Links.
She just wanted to thank you.
I see...
So you really should have gone to see her!
No...
She was waiting for the fourteen-year-old me for all that time.
The fourteen-year-old me in her memories...
But it was a lie!
Listen, Daisuke.
Stealing isn't the only job for a Phantom Thief.
Sometimes giving a dream to someone who needs it
is also the job of a Phantom Thief.
There are also lies that exist to make people happy.
Then, for the first time, I thought I wanted to see.
The legendary black-winged Phantom Thief who once flew the night sky...
Hey!
Daisuke!
I have a bad feeling about this!
Like I said, I saw her!
I fought with Dark and I protected it! I protected it!
Oh, you did?
But it's strange.
I checked around and there's no Menou Kurashina in this town.
Maybe she's already gone somewhere far away.
I see, she moved. That's got to be it!
Hey, Daisuke! I'll say that the Agate Links was taken by Dark!
She's not the one that took it!
Yeah, that works.
I can't tell him that Miss Menou was someone from forty years ago.
Thank you, little Mr. Phantom Thief.
Does that make this another lie that makes someone happy?
But her eyes...
It looked like she was completely crazy about me!
You guys look like you're having fun.
You'll be late!
Hurry up, Daisuke!
Wait up!
