N-Not sure...
I just happened to overhear some people saying that while walking by the warehouse...

There haven't been any official announcements yet. We'd be hearing about it from Mr. Kijima if something as serious as that were to occur.

Why are they getting canceled?!
Mikazukigumi Members
You said “until further notice.”
Does that mean there's a possibility of us resuming?

Kijima
Mostly involving people's belongings disappearing after being placed down somewhere. Everything from their bags to souvenirs they bought here.
Kijima
The most recent incidents apparently involve directly stealing from the souvenir shops, probably because the other thefts have gone well. The park staff has been patrolling around and warning guests, but they've yet to catch whoever's responsible...
Kijima
The park decided that it's not a good idea to let it continue since it's about catching a thief.
Kijima
So, we won't be doing any further performances until we see a cease in these thefts.
Emu
I understand that we're probably supposed to keep practicing until whoever's behind these thefts is caught...
Emu
But would it be possible for us to use some of that time to put on performances warning the guests about what's been going on?!
Tsukasa
Excellent idea...!
In other words, we'd be raising guests' level of awareness through street performances!

Emu
Yeah! They're here to smile and have fun, but having your things taken is always really sad...
Kijima
Let's go ask the park to see if they'll accommodate your idea. I have a feeling that they will since they also feel compelled to warn all the guests.

“Apparently, people's belongings after they put them down for a second. They're there one second and gone the next!”
Rui
“We suggest you report any suspicious activity you see to the locals wearing name tags.”
Tsukasa
“Yes, and don't be afraid! The famed constable and his right-hand man will come to your aid!”
Guests
They're staying in character while telling us all this, but I guess the rumors were true about people's things disappearing...
Guests
Yeah, we gotta be careful.
Rui
Alright, we've just about covered this area.
Why don't we try around the tea shop next?

Let's hurry over to our next stop.
At the tea shop, Rui, you're going to steal Emu's dango and I'm going to catch you, yes?

Yes, our goal for this scene is to heighten everyone's senses by presenting them with a realistic theft.

Tsukasa
Yes! My speed has increased greatly because of my training. It'll only take me a second to retrieve them from the warehouse!

Warehouse
Tsukasa
It's nice that the park's allowing us to store things in one of their warehouses, but it's hard to remember where anything is because it's so massive.

(Was it one of the troupe members? Or the park staff...? In any case, I should go greet them.)
