SaionjiMuku-kun, how are you doing? Are you getting seasick?
MukuI’m doing alright, thank you. Oh, and the room is so beautiful...!
SaionjiI am glad it is to your liking. We purposely built the suite rooms in a place where you can’t feel the ship’s motion.
I am planning to take every possible measure for the theater venue as well, though do not hesitate to let me know if you are unsatisfied with anything.
MukuI will. Thank you.
KazunariDude, not only are the suite rooms superbs, but to think we also get a whole staff team to ourselves...! We can even get the beverages here as many times we like!
YukiTrue. The service is just so good it surprised me.
SakyoDon’t get too engrossed in these service or you’ll be havin’ a hard time once we return to MANKAI Company.
IzumiYou have a point...
BanriI don’t wanna go back.
Juza...I’m thirsty.
MukuWanna get some beverages in our rooms?
JuzaNo, it’s fine. Our rooms are far from here.
AzamiThere’s a lot of vending machines there. I think they have your favorite strawberry milk.
JuzaI’ll go get it.

Muku...
Izumi(Today is finally our opening show. I knew it. They all seem pretty nervous because we’re going to perform in a different venue.)
Juza...
Izumi(Juza-kun looks stiff.)
KazunariOK, guys! We’ve gotta form a circle in times like this!
BanriBe more specific. What d'you mean by “in times like this”?
YukiBet you already thought of what kind of circle you wanna do.
KazunariRighty right! Since our play is about phantom thieves, we all should strike a phantom thief pose!
SakyoThe heck is that?
KazunariNo complaining! Just follow me!
YukiFine. Fine.
Juza...Muku, do the chant.
MukuFirst things first, I’m sorry for causing you guys troubles when I was at a loss of what to do.
I don’t want to give up on all the things I want to do. I’ve decided to do everything I can for all of them.
I’ll run through until the end. Follow me, guys!
JuzaYeah!
KazunariOkie!
BanriYea.

Q“It’s as musty as always.”
Ace“Clean it up.”
Q“How about you do it?”
Ace“No way. Geez. This place used to be clean, wonder what happened to it.”
Q“That’s because we had a clean freak before.”
Ace“Okay. Leader, you do the cleaning.”
King“I think it’s pretty clean, though.”
Q“Seriously?”
Ace“Should’ve known a messy room owner like Leader would say something like that.”
Q“Anyway. Since this is the first time we gathered here after a year, that means you’ve already set our next target, right? Let’s cut to the chase already.”
King“Our next target will be "Mermaid’s Tears”, a 12-carat diamond.“
"It’s going to be sold during an auction held at the Royal Star cruise. It’s one of the event’s highlights and is expected to sell for 6 billion.”
Ace“Woo-hoo.”
Q“Heh. Interesting.”
King“Royal Star is currently hiring staff. Q.”
Q“Got it. That means I have to sneak in as one of their staff members, right?”
King“Ace, get close to the ship’s captain and collect information.”
Ace“Roger.”
Izumi(I expect no less from Summer Troupe. They have great teamwork. I can totally feel it.)
(Not to mention Muku-kun’s King is able to unite them as a leader.)
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-04.png
Q“I’m in charge of the rooms in Block A... Laundry and... Ugh. What a hassle.”
“This isn’t my job in the first place, after all. If that person were here–.”
Crew Member“Are you new here? You seem lost.”
Q“Yes. I don’t think I can get out of this place if I lose the map.”
Crew Member“You can ask anyone if there’s anything you don’t understand.”
Q“Thank you.”
“?”
Crew Member“What’s wrong?”
Q“I think I saw someone over there–.”
Crew Member“But there’s only a garbage can over there. Is it a ghost or something?”
Q“Hey. Stop. I don’t like it.”
*walks over*
Q“Hm? A letter?”
*flips it open*
Q“Could this be– I have to report to King.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-05.png
King“I’ll take the Mermaid’s Tears– Jack.”
Ace“Can’t believe he’s aiming for the same thing.”
Q“Him and King sure are compatible in a strange way.”
Ace“Even though their personalities are the exact opposite of each other.”
Q“What are we going to do now?”
Ace“Guess we’re gonna have a change of pla–.”
King“We’ll continue the operation.”
Q“Come again!?”
Ace“So you mean we’re gonna compete with Jack?”
King“I will not send out this notice. Let’s call it a direct confrontation between trump and Jack.”
Q“Whaaaat!?”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-06.png
Jack“Weird. The cops aren’t on the move.”
“Hm? Where’s my noti–.”
*flips letter open*
Jack“It’s been a while. How about a reunion? At The Mermaid’s Tears’ chamber. trump.”
“King, huh... It’s just so like him to do something like this. Fine. Let’s have a showdown.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-07.png
Fox“Here. I got what you wanted, the Royal Star’s blueprint.”
King“It is indeed the blueprint.”
Fox“I got you some addition as well. This one is a lil bit pricey.”
King“Figured as much.”
Fox“What are you going to do with this information, though?”
King“It’s prohibited to poke your nose into your client’s private life.”
Fox“Oops. My bad. I was curious since you rarely asked for something like this. Oh, yeah. Your master said he wanted to see you.”
King“Club? I wonder why. I’ll try contacting him.”
Club“I’m comin’ in.”
Fox“Speak of the devil.”
King“Long time no see.”
Club“Perfect timing. Are you free now?”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-08.png
Club“I’m goin’ to retire soon. Take whatever you need.”
King“Retire? Are you serious?”
Club“My body is startin’ to fall apart. It’s an age thing. Tell this to Ja–Oh, right. I heard you two broke up.”
King“You made it sound like we’re dating. Please don’t do that. He just decided to quit my group on his own.”
Club“Y'all never change. Here I thought you’d keep workin’ together. That’s what you call youth, I guess.”
King“To be honest with you, I’d also never thought he would betray me.”
Club“Looking at that guy, I think he’s in his rebellious phase rather than betrayal.”
King“Rebellious phase?”
Club“He’s got some strong sense of rivalry, y'know? Add that with the fact that he’s never won against you.”
“He must be jealous of you. You’re a genius, while he can only do things in a crude way.”
King“Really? I like his way of doing things, though.”
Club“That’s exactly why you’re hated. Oh, well. You better make up before I die.”
King“Please tell that to him too. You’re going to meet him after this anyway, right?”
Club“You’re right. Guess I’m also gonna tell him directly. Both of you are my most excellent apprentices, after all.”
King“Please take this as my present for your retirement. This one is 40 years old.”
Club“You sure are well prepared.”
King“I was actually planning to use it for the celebration party, though.”
“–Oh, right. If you’re going to retire, please give me that. You know, the ‘Venus Ring’.”
Club“I refuse.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-09.png
Fox“Welcome. Man, I guess we’ve got a lot of 'speak of the devil’ moments today.”
Jack“What are you saying?”
Fox“Nope. Forget it. Anyway, this is your requested uniform and safe.”
Jack“Thanks.”
Fox“Oh, yea. Your master said he wanted to see you. Why don’t you give him a call?”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-10.png
Jack“Long time no see.”
Club“Hey. Is it just me or did you lose some weight?”
Jack“What do you want to talk about?”
Club“I’m gonna retire soon. Take whatever you need.”
Jack“Whatever you need, huh. By the way, the 'Venus Ring’...”
Club“Y'all really have the same taste. I ain’t gonna give it out. I sent it to the right place.”
Jack“By y'all... Do you mean King?”
Club“You should just go back and regroup with him.”
Jack“I’ll never go back until I win against him.”
Club“What a pig-headed kid. So? You see any chance to accomplish that?”
Jack“I have a feeling we’re finally going to settle this soon.”
Club“Heh. You seem confident.”
Jack“Because I’ve made arrangements ahead of time.”
Club“That’s so you. You still look as gloomy as ever, though. Why don’t you go soaking up the sun in some warm places in the south once in a while?”
Jack“No–But you have a point. Maybe I’ll do that once this is over.”
Club“Do that. And make up with King.”
Jack“...It depends on him.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-11.png
Guard A“Wait there.”
Guard B“This place is restricted to authorized personnel.”
Q“'Mermaid’s Tears’ has been carried away.”
King“Got it. Looks like they put it at the expected place.”
Q“How about the security? Can you unlock it?”
King“I’ve already made preparations for that. We just need to see how things will turn out.”
Ace“Hey, wait a sec. Please, King.”
King“Find out the schedule for the guards’ lookout.”
Q“Ugh. What a pain. Why do I have to do this...”
Q“The guard will change at 1 P.M. The key will only be handed over when a substitute comes.”
King“So we need that key and the password that the captain has to unlock the door.”
Q“Ace, gain some time for us.”
Ace“Roger. Leave it to me.”
Q“Don’t screw up.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-12.png
Ace“Hey, good work.”
Guard A“You’re here sooner than I thought.”
Ace“Boss said my shift would start 30 minutes earlier since I’m always late, you see. Today I got here on time, though.”
“Oh. Don’t tell me you’re gonna get scolded if you end your shift early? Wanna have some chat for thirty minutes then? Man, being a guard sure is easy.”
“I actually want to increase my shift more, you know. But I don’t reall–.”
Guard A“No, it’s fine. I’ll end my shift now. Bye.”
Ace“Oh. Okay, then. Bye~”
Ace“Mission complete. It’s your turn now, King.”
*King and Q drop down to the ground*
King“Let’s see, now. This is unexpectedly such a hassle~.”
Ace“I’m glad you seem to be having fun, but please hurry up.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-13.png
*keypad sounds*
Q“It’s almost been thirty minutes.”
King“Just a little bit more…”
Q“The guard is coming.”
King“I’m counting on you, Ace.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-14.png
Ace“Hey–”
Guard B“Hm?”
Ace“Ouch ouch ouch...”
Guard B“What’s wrong?”
Ace“Oh, are you the substitute? Thank God. I was starting to panic since my stomach is killing me. Good bye!”
Guard B“Hey, wait, the key–.”
Ace“Key? Oh, right. I’ve gotta hand it ove–ouch ouch ouch.”
Guard B“Hey, you okay?”
Ace“Wait a minute. Just until I calm down. Ouch ouch ouch...”
Guard B“F-For now, just go to the toilet first.”
Ace“Don’t think that’s possible. I feel like it’s gonna come out once I move.”
Guard B“Whaaat!?”
Ace“Do you have some medicine or anything?”
Guard B“No, sorry...”
Ace“Can you bring me one from the infirmary? I’m on the edge here.”
Guard B“O-Okay! Wait a little bit!”
Ace“King, you better open it now.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-15.png
King“...Weird. We may not make it.”
Ace“Come again!?”
King“Oh, I got it. This one.”
“...Nice. It opened!”
*lock whirrs, vault opens*
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-16.png
King“Q, carry it out. Let’s retreat.”
Q“Got it.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-17.png
Guard B“Hey, I have the medicine!”
Ace“Many thanks, man. Here, your key! I’ll leave the rest to you!”
Guard B“Yeah. Hope you recover soon.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-18.png
King“...This is weird. Jack didn’t come in the end.”
Q“Maybe he realized it’s impossible to go against phantom thieves.”
King“No. That guy...”
Police“Freeze! We’re the police!”
King“–.”
Q“!?”
Ace“Since when!?”
King“We’re being set up. Q, throw the 'Mermaid’s Tears’ into the sea.”
Q“Huh!? Do you hear yourself now!?”
King“Do it now. We’ll escape the moment the police look away.”
Ace“You’re lying, right!?”
King“Quick.”
Q“You’re the one who told me to do it, alright!”
*throws jewel, it splashes into the water*
Police“H-Hey! The jewel! Pick it up, quick!”
King“Let’s go!”
Police“Wait!”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-19.png
Q“What do we do now!? All of our hardship went to waste!”
Ace“Our 6 billion...”
King“That was a fake jewel Jack had prepared.”
Q“What?”
King“Jack had stolen 'Mermaid’s Tears’ in advance and replaced it with a fake one.”
“He was the one who snitched on us.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-20.png
Narration“The day before...”
Guard A“Hey, what’s wrong?”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-21.png
Jack“No, it’s just... the engine...”
Guard A“Hold on, hold on. If there’s any trouble, you better do something about it or else it’ll get worse later on. If we’re liable for the damages...”
Jack“There’s smoke coming out!”
Guard A“Say what!?”
Jack“Stay away from the car!”
Guard B“Whoa!!”
Guard A“C-Call the fire station! Wait, we gotta get the safe first!”
Guard B“Hey, is it okay?”
Jack“Yeah. The smoke disappeared. I found no issues with the machine too.”
Guard A“That means the safe is alright, yeah? God. Give me a break. We almost carry it away ahead of time.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-22.png
Q“So that’s why Jack didn’t show up...”
Ace“He really got us~! I already thought it was weird for the police to appear at times like that!”
Q“Ugh. Even if the police didn’t appear, Jack still won since he already got the 'Mermaid’s Tears’ before us.”
King“I wonder about that.”
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-23.png
King“He hasn’t made any changes in his base. Well, isn’t he a little careless...”
*a beep, and the lasers deactivate*
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-24.png
King“Even his security system is so weak.”
*switches the light on*
Trump the phantom thief Episode 8-25.png
King“Hm? A card?”
“'Out of respect of Master’s retirement, I will hand over the victory.’”
“Don’t be satisfied with second place. You could have taken measures if you knew there’s a chance it’d get stolen. Oh, well. I’ll accept your kind offer...”
*door closes*
*door opens*
Jack“...”
*switches the light on*
Jack“He really came...”
*door opens*
King“Hey.”
Jack“–ugh. Why are you still here, King?”
King“It’s been a long time, I want to renew our friendship. I even brought alcohol with me.”
Jack“This is why you’re hated.”
King“But you don’t hate me, do you?”
Jack“How did you find out?”
King“I got some information about you from Fox. It helped me understand your strategy to some extent.”
Jack“In that case, why did you fall into the trap?”
King“Because, otherwise, you won’t move forward as planned. I’ll be troubled if you’re on your guard.”
“I could narrow down your base thanks to the location device I planted on the alcohol I gave to Club. The rest was my intuition.”
Jack“I can never bring myself to like you in the end.”
King“Now, now. Let’s have a toast for the 'Mermaid’s Tears’. Ace and Q are waiting.”
Izumi(This is the only scene where Jack and King talk face to face. Even so, you can tell how close they are just by watching this scene alone.)
(Maybe because they are cousins, they can create a unique relationship between rivals who understand each other the most.)
