"Okay," Erica decided to eat a portion of Bento... "Listen, there's something going on... During your first battle, something was stolen from me. I suspect that pirate, Tylo Bocchi. He was hanging around me at the time and trying to 'butter me up.' It's a very useful item. It allows you to identify spies, which is very important given the current situation. I borrowed it from a friend. And this pirate is a loser. Only wizards can use this item. So he probably won't be able to use it himself, and it will be difficult for him to sell it to someone... I don't know why he would need it... Besides, this pirate is imbued with cursed energy. I know for sure, the Archmage Asuguha taught me how to recognize curses..."

"I'm not saying it wasn't, I just wanted to clarify before drawing any conclusions..." "This is not good," Sheila glared at the pirate. "I think this shouldn't be left unpunished." "Hmm... Even if it's true, what can be done besides turning to the guard?" "We could ambush him somewhere and make him empty his pockets." "What if he's not the thief?" "Then we'll apologize and go look for someone else." "I don't know, I don't know."
