Kanon knew that Akira was the famous 20 faces thief but never thought that her own home would be visited. This must be attributed to her mother's efforts. That day, Mrs. Hanazaki went to the antique market and bought a beautiful vintage-style table lamp, which also had a wind chime attached to it and a music box with the image of two dancing rabbits that played the tune "Water Drop," one of ost song from the Clamp School Detectives anime, where 20 faces confessed his love to the little lady Ohkawa Utako. Was this just a coincidence or the arrangement of this world, Kanon wondered.

However, Mrs. Hanazaki was unaware that the vintage table lamp she bought had caught the attention of the twin mothers of 20 faces. The twin returned home feeling resentful because someone else had bought the lamp, crying and demanding that little Akira find a way to bring the lamp back to them.

That was why Kanon was holding a very elegant and polite note from 20 faces, saying he would visit tonight to 'ask for' the lamp. The note was originally intended for her mother, but luckily, she had gone out to get the mail today, and upon seeing the note, she almost burst out laughing, never expecting to one day come face to face with this famous and dashing thief. Kanon did not have the same circumstances as most theft victims, as her family was not wealthy and did not possess valuable items. The lamp her mother had bought for her room was simply because she found it beautiful. Therefore, Kanon did not call the police, inform anyone or let her mother know, to avoid causing her unnecessary worry.

According to her knowledge, at this time Akira had not yet caught the eye of Nokoru, but it was only a matter of time because Akira was the same age as her and would be in the same first grade with her, but he transferred to study after her so when she arrived here she had not seen him. It was truly an honor to have 20 faces visit, should she imitate little lady Ohkawa and host a tea party to welcome the thief?

After some thought, eating sweets at night could cause cavities and indigestion, so Kanon ran to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and quickly baked a batch of green tea cookies, then put them in a glass jar, tied with a pink bow on the lid, looking very luxurious and seductive. She also prepared ginger honey lemon tea, which is good to drink at night, both aiding sleep and warding off the cold. After finishing the preparation, she brought them upstairs, pulled a small table into the middle of the room, arranged everything on it, placed two cushions facing each other underneath. She also placed a hugging pillow in the middle of the bed, covering it with a blanket to make it look like a sleeping person. The antique lamp was placed next to the table. Finally, she opened the large window near the attic wide, turned off the lights, and sat quitely waiting for the thief to arrive.

At exactly 23 o'clock, the window shook slightly and a small dark figure gently leaped into her room, it was indeed Akira. As his feet touched the ground, the coat fluttered, the hat wobbled, and the whole figure stood still as if getting acquainted with the darkness and determining the direction, also to not wake her up. She had been sitting in the dark for a while so her eyes had adjusted and she could easily observe him, seeing it move closer to her bed, placing something on it that she guessed was a branch of flowers along with a small gift as compensation for the stolen item tonight.

Many young ladies were dreamy and romantic about this action of 20 faces, completely overlooking the value of the lost item. Kanon thought the gift she received was probably chocolate or some pastry made by Akira himself, feeling curious about the taste that the everyone raved about. After placing the gifts on her bedside table, 20 faces turned to search for the stolen item. Just as he turned around, Kanon turned on her antique lamp, and as the sudden light appeared, dispelling the darkness, the shadow of 20 faces startled, then heard her voice chuckling and saying:

"You have arrived, what you need is right here!"

20 faces stared blankly at the face smiling in front of him, then turned to the bed to see a pillow wrapped in a blanket on it. He seemed confused but immediately regained his composure, adopting a gentlemanly posture like Nokoru, bowed to her and said:

"It's truly impolite to have you wake up like this."

"No worries, you couldn't predict that the person receiving that card is me, right?"

When hearing about his card, 20 Faces smiled gently and confidently replied:

"Indeed I did send a card to inform Mrs. Hanazaki that I would come tonight, but when I arrived here, the whole house was dark. Honestly, I thought she might have forgotten checking her mail today."

Kanon laughed at the sincere innocence of 20 Faces.

"Ha ha, my mother often forgets to check the mail. Today I saw your card but didn't want to worry my mother, so I didn't say anything. My mother also doesn't know that the antique lamp she bought from the flea market caught your eye. If she knew, she would probably jump for joy and might even invite a group of journalists to be on TV."

"So, I must especially thank you for sparing me some trouble."

Akira bowed to express his gratitude.

"No need to be polite, I don't think that crowd could cause you any trouble. Isn't it easier to do magic tricks with a larger audience?"

Akira was puzzled once again, who is this girl? How could she see through him, a notorious thief?

"Well, let's skip these elegant acts, come sit down for a while. I made some cookies and tea, please don't refuse."

"Oh, I wouldn't dare!"

After a moment of surprise, Akira looked at the meticulously prepared tea and cookies on the table and smiled. He comfortably sat down across from Kanon, took off his hat to place it next to him, but didn't remove the blindfold like Kanon had seen him do in the episode where he met the little lady Utako. This slightly disappointed Kanon, as she really wanted to see Akira's cute face.

Kanon didn't like sitting in a kneeling position, it made her legs numb, but Akira was very courteous, and it seemed that sitting that way didn't bother him at all.
After pouring tea into two beautiful cherry blossom-shaped porcelain cups, Kanon opened the cookie jar, picked one for Akira and one for herself, then said:
"Let's see how my baking skills are, it's been a while since I last did it, I really need some feedback."

Akira was not shy either, he picked up the cookie and ate it. Taking a bite, Akira's eyes lit up:
\
"This is really delicious, how did you make it? The creamy buttery taste combined with the subtle green tea flavor perfectly, not too sweet either."

While waiting for Kanon's response, Akira finished his cookie and picked up another one for himself.

"It's not too difficult, I think after you finish that one, you'll know my recipe right away."

"This tea is also delicious, does it have ginger and honey in it too?"

Akira is indeed a food lover. In just a moment, he devoured half a jar of cookies and drank three cups of tea. When he was full, he elegantly patted his stomach and said:
"Honestly, I have never made such unique dishes before. I must try making them when I get back. Today was not wasted."

Then he looked at the antique lamp placed next to him, hesitating to take it from Kanon's hand. Kanon found Akira's cute and indecisive demeanor under the 20 faces mask amusing and said:

"If you want, you can take it with you."

Akira looked at her for a moment, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"It doesn't really fit the decor of my room. Tomorrow, I will tell my mom that I want to give it to my friend because it suits his room better. I prefer a simpler style."

"I understand!"

Akira was a carefree person, not too formal. He quickly packed the lamp into the box that Kanon had prepared and lifted it gently. Before leaving, he bowed to Kanon:

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Hanazaki-san, and I am very grateful for the tea party tonight. I really enjoyed it!"

"Then take this with you."

Kanon pulled out a bag of cookies she had prepared from the drawer.

Akira comfortably accepted it, grateful for the kindness. After the shadow of the 20 faces disappeared under the starry sky, Kanon smiled, tidied up, and went to bed.

The next morning, she received a package when she opened the door to go to school. Kanon opened it and found a simple yet elegant and beautiful table lamp inside. The lamp's body curved like a tree, made of flexible material with good elasticity, allowing it to wrap around any support. Each leaf on it was a different colored light bulb, with the largest cherry blossom-shaped pink light bulb on top. Kanon smiled, thinking that the timing was perfect, placing it just before she left. She carefully brought it up to her room before heading to school. She really liked the lamp; 20 faces was truly kind and thoughtful. To find and send her that lamp in just one night was really remarkable.

When she arrived at the area for class Z, she bumped into someone walking towards the administrative office. He saw her approaching and smiled, greeting her:

"Good morning!"

She smiled back and replied:

"Good morning!"

Then she turned and walked away, before leaving, she threw in one last sentence:

"Thank you for the new lamp, I really like it!"

Without paying attention to the boy's expression, she walked straight into the classroom.
