Love Letter From Thief X: Riki (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡

AHHHHH!!!!
I really liked Riki's route ^^
I finished watching it on youtube a couple of days ago and it was sooooo cute. I love Riki, normally i don't like the "flirty" types like saeki (from my forged wedding, havent watched his route yet). I don't really consider Riki that kind of flirty though. He's a playboy. But like all animes, mangas, visual novels, and tome games, he always has a good reason :)

~~SPOILERS YAYAYAYAY~~ *rewritten*
(watched from Seii K on youtube: http://youtu.be/V8OHUtf_JKQ)

Prologue: The MC works as a museum curator. One day a group of thieves called he Black Foxes come and rob the museum of a painting. The thieves notice a ring the MC is wearing and questions why she has it. The thieves then leave. The next day she meets up with a friend of her and talks about the Black Foxes. She meets 2 of the Black Foxes (not knowing who they were) and then she goes home. As she enters she hears whispers and then she getes kidnapped by the Black Foxes. They take her back to their hideout and explain to her what's going on. Her great grandfather was a famous painter, but many of his paintings are being used for ill reasons now and the Black Foxes are trying to retrieve them. They explain that the MC's great grandfather and all the Black Foxes' great grandfathers were all friends. Then about the ring, it was originally the MC's great grandfather's and since she had it that Black Foxes knew that she was her great grandfather's great granddaughter so they want her to join them so they can find one of the MC's great grandfather's paintings that he hid somewhere. Then the boss of the Black Foxes asks the MC to choose who she wants to look after her.

Main Story: So the MC picks Riki to be the one that looks after her because he's the leader of the Black Foxes. She is flustered when she learns that she can't go home and has to stay at the Black Foxes "headquarters"/hideout. Riki lets he use his room to sleep in and he'll sleep in another room. The MC tries telling him that she won't run away anymore, but Riki doesn't listen and insists on looking after her. Like all these typical girls, when the MC thinks about them being in the same room at night means somethings gonna happen and Riki teases her about it, saying he won't do anything becasue he has "superior DNA" (LOL wtheck haha) Riki then says that they're not realy criminals because they're just returning the paintings back to where they belong because where they are now got there through black market trades and theft. Then he says once they get back her great grandfather's art she can go home and she and Riki will continue to be strangers. The MC goes to take a shower and then talks to the boss for a little while, he tells her her "fortune" and then asks her how she sees Riki, "as a lover?". She quickly rejects that thought and thinks to herself how he seems like a playboy. She goes back to the room and sees Riki sleeping on the bed and attempts to wake him up. Then the typical happens, he grabs her with both arms still half asleep. She struggles to get away and then he wakes up and wonders what she's doing, not knowing that he was the one who came onto her. The MC tells him what he did and he doesn't believe saying that he would never do something like that to a woman like her. (Oh typical Riki) She starts achoo-ing and Riki helps dry her hair saying that she'll catch a cold. The MC then goes to sleep. The next morning she wakes up and Riki's already gone to work. She goes into the restaurant part of the hideout and she sees Kenshi (another player that you can play and a member of the Black Foxes). Kenshi says that Riki made some miso soup this morning before he went to work and that she should have some. Then he explains how all of them have a day job because they don't get paid for being thieves and how it actually really helps them with being thieves, Riki is a government worker, Takuto is a computer engineer i think, Kenshi himself is a firefighter, and Hiro is an art student. Takuto wakes up and joins them, still in a bad mood, and Kenshi starts talking about Riki and how he's always been the top at everything, seemingly perfect. Takuto then starts choking as he always does no matter what he's eating (It's actually really funny every time he starts choking haha) The MC starts pounding him on the back and he yells at her saying she hit too hard. So later into the night, the MC has nothing to do so she cleans the entire place and then Riki comes back and says they're going out to dinner. He wants to tell the MC about the next mission. Then Riki asks he if she has a cold and puts his hand on her forehead, spazzing out the MC. Then Riki tells her she better not give him her cold and goes on about how important he is and why it'd be bad if he caught a cold (surprisingly this doesn't disgust me at all. Normally i don't like these kind of arrogant characters, but on Riki it's cute <3) Riki takes the MC to a fancy french restaurant. Riki then starts teasing her asking if she's ever been out with a man before because she seems so fidgety.

The MC then says that she can't just go out with a guy so randomly like that and he responds, "Why not? Just go out for dinner with someone." The MC gets irritated because he says that so easily and calmly. Then the conversation directs towards Riki when the MC asks if he goes out with women he doesn't love. And he admits it, at least he's honest, and says the reason is just simple lust. Then he reaches across and touches the the MC's hand, :OOOO jk he was just trying to show her the menu haha, but the MC still freaked out inside. Riki being the person he is teases her about it. They spend half the date with the MC thinking to herself about how sophisticated Riki is, how she's a commoner (they really use the word commoner), and how he's a playboy. *fact: Riki doesn't like smoking cheap cigarettes, but he will smoke cigars... (ugh :( ) He then explains the mission to her; the MC's great grandfather left works behind before the war, after he came back he donated some museums and gave others to patrons. He put his works for good reasons and wouldn't sell them for anyone who would just use it for money. Then after the war, many of the paintings were stolen. Then he talks about "The Lady of The Camellias", the MC's great grandfather's most famous painting that he hid somewhere which is what the Black Foxes are trying to find. Then he says that all the Black Foxes great grandfathers were best friends with the MC's and that their connected by fate ;). He goes on to say that the MC's great grandfather said he wanted to leave the Lady of the Camellias with his great granddaughter, the MC. Before he could tell anyone where the painting was, he died. The MC doesn't know where the painting could be and Riki said that her great grandfather said that if they find three of his paintings then they'll figure out the location of the Lady of the Camellias. All three paintings were stolen so right now they are focusing on looking for the first one, Cherry Blossom. They decide to leave and go back to Le Renord Noir, the hideout/restaurant's name. But before they leave, Riki continues teasing the MC cutely and says he's never met such a prude woman with no sex appeal lol. Then Mitsuru appears. A coworker of the MC. He's a creep. That's all i have to say. He asks if she's on the date she denies it, he leaves, and Riki says that Mitsuru likes her and that the quiet ones with the glasses are who she should be worried about. She brings up that Mitsuru had asked her out to dinner last Christmas but she didn't go and Riki said she should've just gone (ugh why are you encouraging her >.<) . They go back to Le Renord Noir and find Takuto and Hiro there. No one acually lives there, they just crash there every once in a while. Once again Takuto is choking and the MC tries to help which just ends up with her getting yelled at again. Riki goes to take a shower, the MC talks with Hiro and Takuto and learn a little about why he's a playboy and doesn't get serious relationships. Riki's fatehr is politician and Riki will one day take over his chair so he has to marry someone who would benefit the family. She goes back to the room, Riki yells at her from the bathroom and asks her to bring in a razor blade for him. So she basically sees him naked, with a towel though pg 13 haha. And she freaks out. She wakes up the next morning and Takuto looks as hateful as always haha. Riki already left but he left miso soup again for her. I think he leaves medicine for her and the MC starts thinking that even though he has a foul mouth and a playboy he's still a worrywart and is really considerate towards her. She's cleaning again today and she shares a little moment with Takuto :3. Later in the day they all gather in the park and talk about the mission to get the painting Cherry Blossom. Takuto is questioning why they have to bring the MC with them too asting really irritated. After they're done with the serious stuff Riki suggests the MC and Takuto take a walk since they're in the park, teasing Takuto saying that he's always shut up in his room, he needs sunlight ohgosh lol. They end up taking a walk and they start talking, Takuto asks her if she's not mad about before, calls her an old lady, and then start talking about sweets. They start talking about how Riki has a meeting to do to today so he's going to be foreced to drink and warns the MC about how he acts when he gets back. But he doesn't tell her any specifics saying she'll find out. (Hmmm... i wonder what he'll act like ;) The MC is in bed when Riki comes home and the boss basically just left Riki all up to the MC to care for. Nice. So basically when Riki's drunk he acts like a spoiled kid... how cute! He whines for water, puts his head on the MC's thighs, but complains that they're uncomfortable, he falls asleep then the MC just stares at him and starts describing his features (Uhh yeah. that's not creepy at all) Riki wakes up again and complains about his tie telling the MC to take it off for him. Then he complains about his shirt and the MC has no choice but to start unbuttoning it. After he sobers up a little the MC asks if he doesn't like his job but he doesn't answer. He asks if he can sleep in the bed tonight and he won't do anything to her, just of course he has to tease her a little, it wouldn't be right if he didn't.

The next morning Riki doesn't go to work and the MC brings up about how last night it seemed like he didn't like his job, but Riki says he doesn't remember and asked if it was a dream? Saying he would appreciapte if she didn't dream about him teasingly. They talk a little about family, the MC's commoner family and Riki's aristocratic family. He also tells her his mom died when he was in elementary school. The MC gets worried. Riki gives the MC some miso soup he made again and the MC says that he shouldn't fool himself with the notion that girls fall in love with guys who can cook. That night the first mission begins. In filtration begins. They get to the room with all the paintings and the MC figures out that they are all counterfeits but she's not entirely sure, Takto says that they shouldn't take the chance and tells them to take the paintings anyways. But the MC insists that they're fakes. Riki finds a button on the wall and afer pressign it the real paintings come out from under the coutnerfeits and they take all the paintings. They almost get caught and Riki tells the rest that he'll hold them off and they shuld get going. They all wait for Riki in the van and they giv ehim 2 minutes before the have to go. The MC starts crying and Takuto tells her not to worry and that Riki will definately come back, he even said it himself. Riki does make it back and they go back to Le Renord Noir and look at the painting. They find a code on the back that will help them figure out the location of the Lady of the Camellias. They have a party but Riki doesn't join in, the Mc finds him in his room looking at the painitng. Riki says that the woman in the painiting looks like her, but the MC can't completely see it. Riki asks her if she knows what the meaning of Cherry Blossoms means: Smiling at you. Riki then tells her that it's okay now for her to go home and start going back to work. Then Riki asks if she doesn't want to be seperated from him ;) and brings up her crying again saying that if she's going to cry then she should stay with him. But he says it was all a joke.(Mhm it was a joke all right. I know you were serious about it Riki ^^) The MC starts thinking that it's best if she's away from him, she'll only get hurt if she falls in love. Finally back at work, the MC meets her childhood friend Tatsuro. Then he starts talking about the Black Foxes and the MC can't say anything becasue she's a part of them too. Then Mitsuru comes up acting all jealous and starts talking about how in manga the girl always ends up with the childhood friend. (This guy is just weird) He asks her out to dinner and she says okay. They finish eating and he tries to confess o her that he likes her. Big fail.

Tell me not, this guy is creepy ...

Before he gets the words out the MC notices Riki with a female friend in a fight. The females starts yelling and slaps Riki. Riki says that he'll let her hit him as much as she wants if it'll make her feel better. This makes her even more mad and she storms off. He notices the MC and tells her to stop hiding. Mitsuru comes up to her and says he'll bring her home (Ewww no, you're creepy you potential stalker!). Riki intervenes and says that he'll take her home instead and rushes her away.

Mhm i agree, he def wouldn't have.

Instead of taking her home home, Riki takes her back to Le Renord Noir. He makes a move on her jokingly (supposedly) but he leaves the room soon after. She leaves too to give him back his phone. She passes by the boss and he says she has the face of a woman in love (i love the boss for trying to get them together or just for getting the MC flustered, it's always entertaining)  He asks if it's Riki, (Bwahaha way to make it awkward for her) Then he says that Riki just passed by with the same look on his face.

While looking for Riki to return his phone, she overhears Takuto and Riki talking. Takuto asks what Riki is doing with the MC and asking him why he won't do what he wants to do. Riki replies with that crap of how he has o take over his father and all that stuff about his family and about an arranged marriage someday. Then Takuto asks if this is about his mother? if he's still not over it? Then he brings up an Ibuki (i thought she was gonna be a future rival, i got a headache just thinking about it) Then Riki ends the conversation ubuptly. The MC gives back his phone and boss tells them that he has information on the second painting The Lily of The Valley. Riki tells them he plan and then leaves for work. Boss gives the MC and Takuto some coffee and Takuto starts choking ... again. But this time the MC doesn't do anything at first, she just watches. and then hits him. not as hard though. The MC goes back to work, having not see everyone in a while and then Mitsuru appears again. ugh. And he questions her about the other time with Riki and how he doesn't think the MC should hang around him, him being a playboy and everything. Then he says that she's all he thinks about (when it comes from him it sounds creepy) then he just randomly screams her name ... why? Takuto was nearby and hears (thank god!! she was gonna be raped lol hahaha) and yanks her away from him and they go out to eat. Takuto is becoming nicer .. he let the MC have the last pork noodles :OOOO lol. Turns out he's been worried about her because she seems depressed lately. Takuto shares some stories about when Riki and him were children. Takuto used to get bullied and Riki would always help him. And then they would fight with the older kids and always end up with bruises and cuts. Then he explains who Ibuki is, Riki's younger 17 year old sister who was born with a weak heart. Because their mother died, Riki has been the parent figure for Ibuki her entire life. He's a good protective older brother. Riki is still only with the family because he can't leave Ibuki. Then he talks about Riki's mother. How being in the family was too much pressure for her. After giving brith to Ibuki, she was admitted into a hospital. She snuck out one day and got into a car "accident". This explains why before when Riki and Takuto were talking that Riki said that he didn't want anyone else to be hurt from coming into his family (<3) The MC decides to sleep at Le Renord Noir since their mission is the next day. Riki is in his room and the MC says that she and Takuto had dinner together just now. And Riki is happy for them, with no signs of jelaousy. But the MC says that she'd rather eat Riki's miso soup and he makes fun of her for it. Then he asks her why she doesn't try going out with him, they'd made a cute couple, he says. He asks her if she wants to try some of this whiskey and he dips his finger in and she actually licks it!!!!!! Then he starts jokingly making  move on her. They start the second mission now. This time Riki and the MC are posing as a couple infiltrating a party. And they bump into Tatsuro and the MC's best friend, who is also Tatsuro's sister, Ranko. Ranko starts yelling at the MC asking her why she never told her she had such a good looking boyfriend and that she definately has to set her up. Then Tatsuro starts questioning Riki about his relationship with the MC since theyre posing as a couple.

After, Riki talks to her about Tatsuro liking her. The MC asks if Riki can always tell if someone likes him and he says 100% of the time and the MC is wondering if he's picked up on her feelings hmmm. The others have recovered the painting and Riki and the MC go back to the van. On their way Riki notices that Tatsuro is following them. It'd be bad if he follwed them to the van so Riki pretends to kiss the MC and Tatsuro does leave them. They go back to Le Renord Noi and look at the painting Lily of the Valley. It's the same model from the Cherry Blossom. Lily of the Valley means: Return to happiness. They decide to go off to bed but this time Riki says he'll sleep in the other room, even thought they've been sleeping in the same room for a while now, raising some questions. Riki comes into her room after and apologizes .. for saying he'd never go after a prude? then the MC says not to forget about it, she didn't care. She says he doesn't have to worry, but he said he worries about even if she told him not too. This romantic moment seems a lot more serious than the other times. Then the both reconfirm that after they find the last painting they'll never see each other again. Then he hugs her tightly! And the MC is still hung up on the idea that she'll get hurt if she falls in love. The next morning, Riki volunteers drive her home until he gets a call from Ibuki's caretaker saying that she was just rushed into the hospital. The MC tags along with Riki to the hospital and meets Ibuki. Ibuki looks a lot older than Riki, she looks like his mother. She looks like the typical nice mother from animes and mangas.

Doesn't she look older thank Riki? (well older than 17)

Ibuki feels guilty because she thinks that she disturbed Riki and the MC's time together. Then she and Riki start talking about her Coming of Age Ceremony kimono. Riki recieves a call from his father and steps out to take it. Ibuki tells the MC is try and convince Riki to not get her a kimono for her ceremony because she doesn't think she'll live long enought to wear it, so having the kimono around would just depress Riki. She's always wondered if it would've been better if she wasn't born, that way Riki wouldn't be burdened to stay with the family. The MC tells her that Riki wouldn't want her to be thinking of those things. Ibuki requests the MC to try and convince Riki to live his life he way he wants. On their way back, Riki doesn't say anything in the car ride back. Then admits that he heard her say that she doesn't think she'll live til her Coming of Age Ceremony. Riki thanks the MC for saying all those things to Ibuki. Then he says that after his mom died he always thought that he has to protect her. Then the MC starts crying. He apoligizes for getting her involved. Then she starts going on a spiel about how he knows how she feels about him and everytime she thinks she getting closer to Riki he all of a sudden puts up all these walls. Then he pulls over to the side of the road and leans in for a kiss, a serious one, he's not teasing her this time eek. But he says he's not going to get any closer to her T_T

Then it just ends there. Next you know the MC is back at her house and hasn't seen Riki since that day. Takuto calls and is worried about her. Then she goes takes a shower and Tatsuro comes over and questions her about Riki. The MC gets offended when he admits that he was looking into Riki and sine she doesn't want him to catch onto Riki she starts getting mad. And he basically let it slip out that he loved her -_-. The MC says that things are going great but Tatsuro asks her why she looks so sad then. Takuto comes to the rescue again. With pork noodles!! Then Tatusro leaves. As they're eating guess what? Yup Takuto is choking again hahaha. And the MC hits him hard on purpose this time. They talk for a little and right when Takuto is about to leave they bother get a text concerning the third painting. They bother head over the Le Renord Noir. They tell Riki about eating noodles together at her house cus he asked why they came together (well that was a brilliant idea to tell him -_-) Riki tells them all about the plan. Afterwards Kenshi asks the MC if she's going out with Takuto and this would cause some flusteration (yes, flusteration) and some useless mini drama. Then Riki comes in say in they should get some rest. So they all fly off to Hokkaido for the mission and end up having a snowball fight. Later into the day, Riki and Takuto are once again talking. It's almost the same as last time, takuto asking if it's really alright, Riki saying her doesn't want her involved, he's not going to get closer yada yada yada. But this time Takuto yells at him for trying to act cool. Riki denies it and asks why Takuto doesn't just go out with her.

You idiot! You're the one who's supposed to make her happy.

The missions starts! And Hiro is disguised as a woman ... and he actually looks really pretty haha. Everyone goes into their positons, the MC remembers their conversation from before, Riki asks her if knows what dogwood means: accpet my feelings. The MC is about to say something but Riki tells her not to say it.

Don't hold back Riki!

Kenshi hands the painting off to Riki and Riki and the MC drive off on a snow mobile. They are persued but are able to lose them, but are far away from the cabin they were staying in and  have to take shelter in a random cabin in the middle of nowhere. Typical. They start talking and Riki admits that it was fun talking to the MC. She starts crying, Riki tells her to stop, and he even said he wouldn't get closer to her but he embraces her and he asks where she wants to cry. She says chest and she starts bawling. And he acts all cute and romantic, kissing her on the forhead saying cute things, the MC even makes a move and kisses him on the cheek. So they had a cute moment. But then they return to the cabin and everyone starts yelling and saying how worried they were. Riki tells Takuto that he wants him to hurry and break the codes to find the location of Lady of the Camellias. Then the MC remembers that now since the missions ae over they're gonna go back to being strangers. She goes to take a shower and Takuto says he wants to talk to her. Guess what? He confesses. He said he was worried when she didn't come back. He admits he knows she only has feelings for Riki, but could she love him too? All of this while embracing her, just saying. Riki comes in and then ... *awkward silence*. Riki leaves, the MC goes after, Takuto holds her back, and the MC politely rejects him. Takuto accepts and smiles. She runs into the boss again haha and he said that Riki just passed by with the same look on his face too haha just like last time. Boss gives her encouraging words. She asks to see the Flowering Dogwood, the third painting. And says that the model in the picture, all three paintings, was her great grandmother. Boss tells her the story of her great grandfather and grandmother's love. It's so cute and a classic. Families opposed them getting married, great grandfatehr was a starving artist, forbidden to see each other, grandfater didn't give up, he tells her that he's going to be a famous artist in 10 years and tells her to meet him again in that place they were talking in in 10 years if you still feel that way about me. How romantic! Then she goes off to Riki. Right when she enters the room Riki is talking to a caretaker about Ibuki's condition and says he's has to return right away but there aren't any flights so the MC comforts him and says he should wait til morning. Riki can't sleep and goes to sit on the sofa and the MC stays with him and comforts him and they share another cute moment. First thing n the morning, the get on a plane and head towards the hospital. Turns out Ibuki needs emergency surgery. Riki then complains that even in a time like this, his father still wouldn't come visit ibuki because his name and job is more important. The MC hears Riki's father talking and complains about selfish reasons why he wants Ibuki to live. Then Riki blows up on him.

At night while waiting for the surgery to finish, Riki opens up more about his pst and admits that he's always hated being alone. The doctor comes in, Ibuki's surgery was a success. Riki is really happy and says he's glad the MC was beside him and that he's never letting her go and he kisses her! yay! Everyone at Le Renord Noir celebrate over the successful surgery. Takuto is being awkward and Hiro says that he didn't sleep at all. The MC then walks in on Takuto when he's in the bathroom. Takuto then starts laughing at her and then Riki comes in and Takuto tells him to teach his woman some manners. Takuto asks and confirms if they're going out now and Riki says he'll let Takuto punch him all he wants. Takuto gives him a light punch and he says that he's satisfied now. (aww friendship, don't let a lover get in your way. that's the way to go) Before they go to sleep Riki says he's going to visit Ibuki tomorrow and have a talk with his father about who he wants to marry. (ohohoho how cute <3) the MC tells Riki about the love story of her great grandparents and how they never gave up and Riki thanks the MC for never giving up on him. And then they say cute words to each other that i just can't deal with asdfghjkl; ahhhh :). The next day she's at work Mitsuru apoligizes and everything and Ranko invites her and Riki to a party. Riki drives the MC to the hospital to visit Ibuki. Riki was being very very very affectionate in the car lol

They're so lovey dovey

Ibuki is feeling a lot better now and she's going to start going to school, but she's nervous wheather or not she'll do fine. Happy happy scene. Riki brings Ibuki back to her room, he comes back to the MC in the hospital courtyard and starts acting intimate. THe MC gets flustered because they're out in public, Riki doesn't care and continues kissing her (lol sadist) Riki and the MC are getting ready to leave for the party and Takuto is getting frustrated becasue he can't solve the code. They leave for the party and Tatsuro is there too. He pulls the MC aside and go to the park they playd in when they were little and tells her everything he's found out about Riki. He makes all these connections and such and accuses Riki of being part of the Black Foxes, but the MC denies it and says that Riki isn't a criminal and he shouldn't say these things without proof. Riki comes and explains everything using an alibi and and entirely fake story about seeing the news about the robbery in the newspaper, recognizing who the MC was, and then wanting to meet her. All lies but Tatsuro fell for it so i guess it's okay. Riki says that Tatsuro was just trying to drive the MC away from Riki using bogus information. Tatsuro then lands a punch on Riki. Riki says he'll allow Tatsuro to punch him as much as he wants. Tatsuro gets angry that Riki isn't fighting back. Tatsuro said that he wanted to become a cop because he wanted to protect her, it was his job. And Riki says cooly that it's his job now. Then the rest of the Black Foxes come, notice that Riki was punched and start saying how they were going to hurt Tatsuro but Riki said it's aoky because he gave Tatsuro permission. They go back to Le Renord Noir and Takuto figured out the  code, it was an address. Riki and the MC go to the address the next day and find the Lady of the Camellias. The model in this painting was wearing the ring that was left for the MC. They figure out that the house they were in was the meeting place the her great grandparents had set up. Riki and the MC go out into the garden where Riki symbolically proposes to her with an emerald ring. They spend the night in the house and the have some time at the end ... in the bedroom ... confirming their feelings to each other ... and you know what they do haha ;) and thats where it ends.

I'm fnally done!!!!!!!!

 I can't wait for his epilogue. Sadly the only epilogue out is takuto's. And there are no spin offs or sequels *sad 
next i already have kippei's up so i have to write about Ryoichi from seduced in the sleepless city which i technically finished before Riki's but forgot about it.
Am i making these too long? I'll try to control myself in ryoichi's
