Chapter 4 - A Step Towards into Becoming a Thief
The next day... As the sunlight was shining in, I looked outside the window and...
Toni: We're leaving.
MC: Eh!?
Breaking the silence, Toni suddenly entered the room.
MC: Go... Where to?
Toni: To steal!
Toni grinned.
MC: ...What are you talking about!?
Toni: I've heard that the neighboring kingdom has received a crown from another kingdom with an illegal record. We're going to go get it.
MC: W-Why me too!?
Toni: Because we were a good pair at the party last night! Enough nitpicking, let's go!
MC: D-Don't be so reckless...!
When my words didn't reach him... I was taken out of the room by force with Toni pulling my hand...
Last Chapter - A Thief Couple
That night...
When Toni took me along by force, we've finally arrived at the castle that had the crown in it.
(...I'm feeling uneasy and my heart is racing.)
Toni: There it is.
Toni looked at the glass case that was placed in the middle of the room. Inside it, a crown with various colorful jewels was shining.
MC: That case looks heavy... What are you going to do?
Toni: I'm going to unlock it.
MC: Will you be okay?
Toni: Leave it to me! You stay here and check to see if someone's coming.
MC: ...Okay.
When Toni approached the crown, he took out some tools from his pocket and started to unlock it skillfully.
Toni: ...Alright!
MC: Eh!? Amazing!! You already got it op-
Toni: Shh, quiet! You're being too loud!
Toni covered my mouth with his hand in a panic.
MC: ...S-Sorry.
As soon as Toni got the crown in his hand, he smiled broadly.
Toni: As expected of me! Let's go!
MC: Okay!
The moment Toni pulled my hand and we left the castle through the window... A loud security alarm was ringing from the case that the crown was in.
MC: Toni!
Toni: It'll be okay! We're already out of the castle, so all that's left is to stay calm and escape.
MC: That may be, but...
Toni: Well, it would've been better if it wasn't so noisy, so I'm going to set up some difficult traps. Once we're a little away from the noise, I'm going to get started.
MC: Wow... To think that you can do something like that!
Toni: Obviously. Never underestimate the prince of thieves.
As Toni had a proud look on his face, he smiled at me.
Toni: Anyway... We shouldn't get careless! Let's hurry and return to the castle.
MC: Okay!
(Somehow... I'm feeling a little excited.)
Once we've arrived at the castle with nimble movements, the king has been waiting for us.
King: Toni, you've done well.
Toni: Father, thank you very much.
King: MC-san, it seems like my son has dragged you along...
The king said that softly as he looked down apologetically.
MC: It's okay. Somehow, it was exciting.
King: The Traumerei Princess sure is courageous. I would like to accept you as a female thief in my kingdom.
MC: Eh...
When the king smiled, he walked into the hallway.
Toni: We really do make a good pair!
Suddenly, Toni wrapped his hand around my shoulder.
Toni: Let's get along from now on, partner!
MC: I-I didn't even do anything.
Toni: That's not true! It's that sort of thing! Doing thieving jobs as a couple doesn't sound so bad!
MC: A-A couple...!
At that moment... When Toni's lips lightly touched my cheek, I looked at him soon after.
Toni: Hehe! Now then, let's get started on our next plan!
Whether my heart was going fast because of my future of being a thief or Toni's smile...
(This kind of life... doesn't sound so bad...)
Right now, I still haven't found the answer to it...
