“Fair enough. Though you’d probably be happy to have missed my last heist. Between Nakamori-keibu, Hattori, and that Kita girl, I don’t imagine you’d be very happy dealing with all three.” He grinned lazily. “I am curious about what you mean with difficulty? Perhaps I can help?”
“No, that doesn’t sound pleasant at all. As for my problems… it’s mostly dealing with unwanted attention, I’m afraid.” Hakuba looked down at the thief, just for a moment, then took a seat next to him on the bench. “I enjoy company as much as the next person in controlled, specific circumstances. But unexpected visits and unreasonable expectations?”
The detective shook his head.
“It’s put me into a bit of a hermit mode. More than normal, I mean. But it’s… very nice to see you again, mon cher voleur.”
