l would be more energetic when l hear dad's voice
Meier heard what Maria said and she made a music box for her
But what would Maria give Meier when she hears it?
Maria's piano was stolen
Great, Peter
Wonderful performance
That is all because of my dad
Because Peter's father is a piano maker
He would break it if he thinks it not suitable
He has a very strict attitude towards himself
Very strict
Yes, we still don't know what Kotori-chan's father is
Er... my father is...
He is a pirate
ldiot, idiot...
Pirate?
lt is about the pirate
Understand, it is a police
Police... yes, got it
Got it
l want to leave
So soon?
l don't want to mention my father's occupation
Goodbye
What is up?
Take it easy, it is nothing
l am hungry
ldiot, don't bother me with such question
Feeling embarrassed?
Have you something in you?
Maybe
Maybe l could understand it
Everyone would care it before your lover
Wait, who said l love Maria?
Don't you love her?
No
You love her but it is hard to tell her this
Kotori-chan, come here, quickly
l have something to talk with you
What?
What have you said to others?
What? Have you said it, B?
But...
You...
Wait
lt is none of your business
You have to think of his feeling
lt is our housework
Housework
Kotori-chan, l am the 13th successor of the pirate
l am irreconcilable with the police
However, Dad
Yes, those who sneak around and steal things will not feel good about it
No way about it Because of our family...
Oh no, l already found out
Don't you know? Why do you have this attitude?
You should be proud of your Father
l am, l am
What about it? Dad
This...is the family's score
A Score?
lnstitution! lnstitution!
No it isn't, it's a music score
You'll understand this after you finish seeing this We're legal pirates
Give it to Maria got that?
Ah, take this for her to look at?
lf you don't want to, then let me
All right dad, l'll go l'll deliver it to her
Ah, taking this to Maria?
ln the 14th district it has Kotori-chan's name on it
Oh no, l have lost face
Brother, buck up
lt's all your fault that's why such things happen
l really don't understand he said his father was a thief
Then what did he steal?
Now that you mentioned it, l have never heard that he stole anything
That's right My daddy said he was a famous thief
lf we steal these little things he will respect us 13 generations
have lost their respectability we haven't stolen anything, we're not thieves
That's right l know Maria will understand
Your fathers aren't thieves How could you understand how l feel?
lf you put it that way l want to be a man
l'll take it to Maria then l'll say goodbye to her myself
This time, l can't think of a way out
What will we do if he spills the beans?
Because no one in their right mind would like a thief
However l think Maria may understand him
lf Maria's Father is a thief as well, then things would be better
Kotori-chan won't be embarrassed don't you think?
Maria's father isn't a thief
lt would be good if that were true Kotori-chan would be able to get rid of it
Why do you say that? Pretend that Maria's father is a thief?
All right, l got it Leguman, thank you
Don't mention it
Hey, Meier
Ah, are you saying that Meier's father is a thief?
l never told anyone
Meier only told me
No wonder l felt as if we had lots in common
So l see...
Don't bring this up in front of her
Because Earthlings don't like to tell others their fathers are thieves
Tomorrow then
Really, if you get into trouble because of this l'm not going to bail you out
Are you telling me there are other ways of making Kotori-chan feel better?
Maybe so...
Don't worry, tomorrow l'll get there earlier than Kotori-chan
l'll ask Maria to say the same thing
All right l believe she'll co-operate
Of course
Walt eat, eat more
Oh no, Miss, a girl should have more table manners
l'm rushing for time
Are you going to see Maria?
l'm done
Oh dear, Miss!
Bubu
Oh no, why did it disappear?
Bubu won't come
That's right it won't come
This morning, brother took Bubu out
He's gone to see Maria
We're going to be in trouble l though l'd get to talk to Maria first
Baby, l beg of you, fly faster
Maria, is there anything important written on that
Why are you laughing?
lt's really funny, l thought you were a little queer all along
Ah, you won't joke about it will you?
What's written on it is the truth
Kotori-chan, no one will tell someone else he is a thief
How about if you were one yourself?
What everyone on this planet fears is to have someone find out about things
But on our own planet, Everyone knows about this
ln our family every generation has been a thief
And we're all famous for it
Does it say he's a thief here?
Of course the 13th generation
And l'm the 14th generation
Hey, Kotori-chan let's not talk about these things
But my dad told me to come tell you
l understand, keep this aside
Maria, everyone's the same
Let's work together in the future
Ah...what are you talking about?
l know about your father
About my father?
Your father and my father are the same
My father is a policeman
l know, that's why l told you everyone in my family is a thief
Wait, Kotori-chan You're saying that
My father is also a thief?
l understand that if you tell anyone...
Who said this? Tell me
Meier told me
Ah? Meier?
Yes
She has no reason to say such a thing
You Earth people don't like to tell this to anyone else
Leave now
Leave!
Maria
Meier, why did you say that?
Maria
Regarding what l said about Maria's father it was all a lie
Who would've thought this would have been exposed to quickly?
Why did you lie to me?
You did it for me?
Oh yeah? you say it's for me?
Now it's not the time to fight
l believe we should go to Maria now
Maria
ls in the next room
Maria, it's me What Kotori-chan said...
Maria..
She's playing the piano, she can't hear you
Meier, let's go
lt's easy to make her open the window
Are you going to sneak in?
However, it's hard for her to trust you again
What should l do?
Then we'll wait, we'll wait for Maria to open the window herself
How long are we going to wait?
l don't know it's tough waiting for an indefinite period of time
Really? Have you brought your music to show her?
Will he think it's weird?
He'll think it's a joke
You think this is a joke?
Yes, father
ls that so? All right then let me do it myself
l'll let him know that our family are famous thieves
Actually although we're thieves
but we have never stolen a single item
This is a good chance, to do something that will make us famous for all time
Do your best, Dad!
What's Maria's most precious thing?
lt's the piano
oh..the piano you say? All right
l have decided to steal her piano tomorrow
Miss Maria will hear our name
Are we going to give this letter to Maria?
Leader please stop my father from doing that
However, to him it is an important mission
Although he's a famous thief
There is no reason why he would succeed
That piano is ten times bigger than this house
lt's all Meier's fault because you lied
Kotori-chan please let me take this letter
Ah? Let you take the letter? l'll get into trouble
Don't worry don't you think so? Grandfather?
Actually, it doesn't matter who sends the letter
lt wasn't easy perfecting this
Meier, what are you doing?
l'm writing a letter to Maria
Are you going to send it with Houdini's letter?
Yes, l know that she will take a look if it's a letter
Why did l lie? l hope she will understand
Morning, Maria l'm putting the letter by the window
You must remember to read it l have written my reason for lying
lf you are willing to forgive me, please open the window
All right, good bye
But, if she tears it apart then all hope is lost
She won't do that
Meier
What's the matter?
Have you ever seen my father?
Not at home?
We've looked everywhere, we can't find him
Maybe he's gone to Maria's place to steal that piano
This isn't good
What's the matter? Meier
Bubu
Ah, Baby? Where's Bubu?
Houdini's taken him for a ride
All right, let's give chase
l'm going too
Then what about me?
lt's better that Kotori-chan went
Bye!
oh no, when l came back l found the Piano missing
lt isn't that, it isn't a toy it's a large piano
This piano's my mistress's favourite object
lt's too late
How would one move such a large piano? l believe it's somewhere nearby
All right, let's look for it
There's no way such a large piano can be moved into the forest
lt should be on the hill where there are no trees or on the road
Look, there's large road there
Eh, it's Maria's piano
So it wasn't Father someone else stole it
Let's go tell Maria
Meier
l know where the piano is
You know?
Yes, it's on the road just beside the piano
Please hurry and catch the thieves this piano belongs to our mistress
Miss, how would you know that it was here?
l...l just had a feeling
A feeling?
So you didn't hear it from someone?
l...l...
lf you don't tell me we might not catch the thief
The police will blame me you got that?
You will catch them
Why are you so sure?
How about it? Maria
Luckily the piano didn't go off tune it's all right now
Oh, that's good
Meier, l've read your letter
l'm sorry l lied
Me too l shouldn't have thrown a tantrum
Kotori-chan, about your father...
My dad...my dad... he...
Peter
Peter, how are you
Mr Houdini told me to give this letter to you personally, Maria
Ah? Dad's letter?
Ah...
He's now at the lake in the forest
Then Dad was never here
He's not been here, no
Thank you, Meier All right, let me tell everyone
l didn't know that Dad would write these strange letters
Regarding the matter about stealing the piano
Because something else came up
l'll postpone it to 1 1years and 1 1 months later
The 13th descendent
Why must he wait for 1 1 years?
He's training for it
Training for it?
come, eat some more give me more eggs, got that?
You must have strength l'll be able to move that piano after 3000 eggs
Hahaha...hahahaha...
Do you know l'm a thief's son?
Kotori-chan, your father is an interesting person
Oh, really?
Really, and he's kind and sensitive too, l like him a lot
Right l said Maria's a good person
Right, your father's really interesting
You don't mind he's a thief?
That's good, Brother
