he knew ...

Elsewhere, too, two hours later the surprise was great ...
"Tell me, Rose ..." A sleepy "Huh?" came in response. "I thought we wanted to steal the> Snow Princess Rose was wide awake now - and panicked! “What's that supposed to do? Where did it come from?” “I might as well ask you THAT!” Confused, Rose scratched the back of her head: “I… have no idea.” Robin took the statue in his hand and looked at it carefully. "It seems real ..." she mumbled. - Rose noticed a card that was under the Snow Princess."Look ... there's something else ..." She picked up the note and read it.
She said, suspiciously: "That's my handwriting ..." Suspiciously, Robin said: "Show me!" Rose held the note out to her and Robin read out:
"" You have certainly forgotten, but you inhaled a gas that stole your memory from a day.
We stole the Snow Princess and gave her to you because we think she is in good hands with you.
The blows we took for it were certainly not as painful as your current memory loss, but still: Don't you dare bring your mirror-like, white Highness back!

Red Rose & Robin ""

Rose and Robin looked at each other skeptically. "Is that true?" asked Rose. Robin shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know ... But at least it would explain why I feel totally bruised and you have some blue eyes ..." "Not only my eyes are blue" said Rose angrily and pulled her top up a bit.Robin was amazed: "Everywhere bruises ... All over your body ..." "Yes. But if only that were ..." She pointed to the wound on the upper arm, which was poorly bandaged.

Kaito, looking at the ivory statue in disbelief, was also totally confused.
"Tell me, Jii¹ ..." "Yes? What is it?"
He shivered a little when he pointed to the statue: "Where does THAT come from?" "Huh?" "The statue! Where does it come from?" Confused, Jii said: "But boy ... you brought it with you yesterday ..." "Yesterday "What are you talking about? I just wanted to steal them today ... And why do all my bones hurt, especially my upper arm? - And why is it actually bandaged?" Jii looked skeptically at the confused boy who was sitting on the couch in front of him: "Tell me ... are you not okay? Did you take more than you thought yesterday?"
Kaito looked desperately at his companion: "Jii ... What happened?" His accomplice stuttered slightly when he replied: "Well ... I can only tell you what you told me ..." "Well, let's start!" demanded Kaito."And should I believe you?" the director asked his son suspiciously. "But that's exactly how you told me!" his son persisted. "Well, it's easy to check whether the two statues are missing ... But that I should have forgotten what happened in a whole day ... - Yesterday, too! - I just CANNOT believe that ..."
"Then convince yourself!" his son ruled at him. "If you don't believe me, check the news what date it is today! - And after all, the statues are gone too!"
"Don't speak to me in such a tone!" the director snapped at his son. - However, this one had a rather thick head, which is why he yelped back: "But now I've had enough! - I'm going to disappear!"

"So it's all this guy's fault!" Rose growled when she found a letter that explained everything (halfway)."I don't know who this Chaos Kid³ is, but I will take revenge on him! - That much is certain!"
"It's really my writing ..." muttered Robin, reading the letter through for the second time. Turning to Rose, she said specifically: "KAITO Kid!" "Whatever ..." she grumbled back.
"I'm not sure if no one actually followed us ..." Robin said a little sheepishly. "HOW are you supposed to be sure about it when you've forgotten everything? - YOU and your stupid brew!" screamed Rose. "Yes-yes ... All right ... So? WHAT do we do now?"
After a moment's thought, Rose said: "Well ... best of all, let's just let the Snow Princess disappear until we're sure ..." "And how?" Robin wanted to know. - Rose grinned thievingly and said: "I have an idea ... just let me do it ..."

"What do we do now? - Are we going to take the statue with us, or not?" Jii wanted to know after telling Kaito everything.
"I'm not sure ... I can't remember anything from the whole of yesterday ... It might as well be a trap ..." the thief stated."If we could hide them at least for a while ..." he mused on.
At the word "hide", Jii remembered something: "I heard something that might have come in handy ..." Kaito curiously asked: "Go ahead!"

After the smoke cleared, Aoko picked up Kaito's face mask and sighed in relief. - She had once again wrongly suspected him. - And everyone knows that Kid is a master of disguise.
Akako was happy when she saw Aoko's relieved smile. - But inwardly she shook her head: * Oh, man! You are and will remain incredible, Kaito! - To scare poor Aoko SO ... you should be ashamed of yourself! *
