File 41 - Kaitou Kid's Valentine's Day Heist

[truthinfortune]

...Ah, Kid? Could you not... heist on holidays anymore? The community has a penchant for inflicting holiday-themed viruses, and this latest one was... rather awkward...

Also, inquiring minds wish to know if you're the sort to reciprocate chocolates on White Day.

I agree with everything Naoto said. And just so you know, Kid, the chocolates I gave you for Christmas? Early Valentine's Day chocolate. I thought you might make a fuss otherwise. But White Day chocolate isn't necessary, really!

[truthinfortune]

You didn't end up getting tangled in your string... did you?

Of course it is! Kaitou Kid is a gentleman, first and foremost, which means he should do things by the book and reciprocate your gift on White Day.

[stripping]

Ah, no. It's hard to tangle one string when only one person can even interact with it.

Precisely! ...But I still doubt he will.

[truthinfortune]

Point taken. My arm is so sore from being jerked all over the place...

Why? It's bad form to not reciprocate a gift. If he gives you chocolates of equal value, it's still a refusal, just a kind one. It's expected that a boy reciprocate with a gift at least three times the value of the one the girl gave if he intends to truly accept it. Trust me, I looked it up...

[stripping]

I'm terribly sorry. Have you tried putting on some balm?

...you're right. Of course! He should return it, then.

[truthinfortune]

Yes. I'm feeling much better now. If it weren't for those strings, I might have been able to foil Kid's plans!

You see? Now you'll have something to look forward to on White Day!

[stripping]

That would have been a sight to see!

Ah, I hope so. It's only a little while away...

[truthinfortune]

Well, we'll just have to try even harder next time! The taskforce is all fired up now.

I think a month is a sufficient amount of time for him to procure an appropriate gift. It doesn't even have to be chocolates, if the boy is reciprocating.

[stripping]

I'll be looking forward to your next challenge with him.

I'm sure he's good at finding appropriate gifts. He manages to charm anyone he tries for, after all.

[truthinfortune]

We all made a resolution to put at least two more entries in the record book. I could very well be the first female detective to foil one of Kid's heists!

Precisely. It's a bit embarrassing to think that he managed to charm even me...

[stripping]

I'll be cheering for you, Naoto!

It doesn't bode well for me, either. I ought to be resistant to such things, as per my teachings.

[truthinfortune]

Thank you! I know the rest of the taskforce is doing the same!

You're only human, Issei-kun.

[stripping]

You're quite welcome.

Yes, but I'm supposed to... ah, well.

Early Valentine's Day present. Unlike certain interests of mine, you're actually smart enough to figure out that chocolate given by a man to another man on Valentine's Day means romantic intentions, and to reject it, so I had to be more creative!
