[side text: An elusive master thief has the town in a state... but what is his true identity...?!]

[side text: That man's voice echoes in his heart...]
Tim!Cross: Hey, Allen... // Come to think of it, I've never asked you this before, but... do you like Tim? // I asked you to keep hold of him for me, but... / ...to be honest, I was always planning on giving him to you. // I've told Tim he can do as he likes from now on. // You may not want to listen to me, knowing that I'm carrying on the Fourteenth's will... // ...but in case you're thinking you're being made to walk a path that me and the Fourteenth chose for you... // ...I just wanted to tell you - you're wrong.

3
Tim!Cross: A path is something you create as you walk it. // The ground you've trodden hardens, and that's what forms your path. // You're the only one who can create your own path. // So stop wearing that mask of "Mana". // Walk, on your own. // If you haven't given up yet, that is.

Flashback!Johnny: Why do you use polite speech all the time anyway?
Flashback!Mana: Come to think of it, you're covered in bruises as well, aren't you!
[TN: He's talking in polite speech there.]
Flashback!Johnny: You do that sometimes. // Hadn't you noticed?
Flashback!Mana: Didn't you like it, then?
Flashback!Allen: Eh, I'm afraid I've never been keen on clowns...
[TN: And Allen's not.]
Flashback!Mana: Say, Allen... recently, you've stopped using polite speech with us, haven't you!

5
Allen: No matter how many times I listen, it sounds like a last request or something... it pisses me off.
[TN: And for the record, Allen's not using polite speech here, either. Link is, though.]
Link: Surely that's what it is, though?
Allen: But stuff like this just isn't like my Master at all...

6
Allen: Yeah... // My path isn't set for me! // I'll create it... // ...myself.
Link: (...... / "Mask of 'Mana'"...... Hm.)
Allen: So, Link... you mind if I take the last donut?
Link: ...Just how many have you eaten?!!
Marie: ......Heh.
Kanda: What's up, Marie? / You overheard something, or what?
Marie: Ah... / No. // It's nothing...
Kanda: You hearing me, beansprout?
Allen: The name'th Allen!
Kanda: Quit stuffing yourself. / It's almost time.

[box: 0:00 AM, Paris, The Louvre]
Kanda: You better not let the police snatch the prey from under our noses.
Allen: It's not "the prey", it's Phantom Thief G, Kanda... // But roger that~! // [aside](I've never seen a phantom thief in the flesh before~)[/aside]
[Text: Before the National Treasure known as The Regent... // ...I shall make my appearance.]

[Text: Signed, Phantom Thief G~!♡ // [aside]mwa!♡[/aside]]
Galmar: I'll never believe that this lowlife is a "ghost"~~! // We'll drag 'em all out and take them to court to be tried as a crime syndicate!! // Let's show this criminal what the police force are made of, boys!!
Police: YESSIR~~~~~~~~~~!

9
Galmar: !!
G: Thank you for the gesture, Inspector Galmar.
Galmar: IT'S HIM!!!
G: *hyuu~~~~~!♥* // I'll be taking my prize once more, Inspector-dono!♡ // Hahahahaha -

10
G: Ngyahh?!
Kanda: Hey there, little thief. / Let's see your face, eh?
G: Oww...
Marie: Don't damage the crown, Kanda...!
Kanda: Yeah, whatever...

11
G: Wha... // Who are you - ?!
Kanda: Got him.
Someone: You did hold back, right, Kanda...?
Galmar: Wait right there!!

12
Galmar: Ahh... it's you! The prettyboy from yesterday!! What are you doing here?! // G belongs to the police, damn it!!
Kanda: We'll be taking the thief. / Here, you take the stolen goods.
Police: Aaaaaahhh...! Don't throw it! That's a national treasure!!
Galmar: No, no, no! We'll be taking G as well!
Police: I'll just take this... / ...somewhere safe...
Galmar: Wait right there, prettyboy! // I'll arrest you as an accomplice, you got that?!!

13
NotG: Where am I...?
Kanda: !
NotG: Wh... / What's with this outfit...?! // What happened to me?!
Galmar: !!
NotG: What's going on~?!
Galmar: Not again.........!
G: Hahahahahah~~~~~!

14
Galmar: !! / What the...?!
G: So sorry to disappoint you, gentlemen! // But capturing me is an impossibility!
Kanda: What's going on here...?
NotG: Aghh, it hurts all over...!!
G: Well, then... farewell!♡
Galmar: Aaaghhh... the crown...!!
Kanda: How the...?!
G: Hahahahahah...

15
G: Unghh!
Allen: So sorry about that! // But you're not the only one who can pull an ambush!♡
Police: [aside]Ooh, nice work!! // Who's that?[/aside]
Galmar: [aside]That's the prettyboy's friend! After him~~~!![/aside]
G: Owwww...
Link: Now, make sure you don't damage the crown! That thing's worth more than we could hope to just reimburse, you know...
Allen: How much?
Link: Enough to make General Cross' debts look like nothing.
Allen: I'll protect it with my life!!
G: Who are you guys...?! // Police?
Allen: Not quite... // But since we're trying to capture you, I guess that's close enough.
G: Ohhh...?
Allen: Ahh...!

16
Link: The crown...!
Allen: Ahh... // That was... close...
G!Link: So... what was that? // You want to capture G, eh? // You think you can?
[insert text: And now it's Link...?!]
