Seiran. Codename: Chive.
Seiran is a moon rabbit with the ability to fire bullets from other dimensions. One of her missions brought her to Earth, at which point she decided to stay. Since then, she's fallen in love with Earth and currently runs a dango stall. On this night, though, she was paying a visit to one of the Human Village's grandest estates to gather intel and steal whatever valuables she could find. She looked like she was about to cry, perhaps from fear of getting caught.
Ringo. Codename: Mandarin.
Ringo is a moon rabbit with the ability to grow in strength by eating dango. One of her missions brought her to Earth, which she promptly fell in love with. She's well and truly acclimated to her new life here and currently runs a dango stall. On this night, she wasn't holding anything back while trying to carry out her high-stakes mission. In fact, it almost looked like she was enjoying herself.
Seiran and Ringo had sent the youkai rabbits their orders and were waiting for the right moment to begin. However, they'd only be able to depend on the youkai rabbits' support until they got inside the mansion. From that point on, the two of them would have to complete the mission alone.
Without warning, they darted off into the darkness. In true phantom thief fashion, they bounded swiftly toward the entrance, but a momentary lapse of concentration put the mission in total disarray. In an instant, the predators had become prey and were now fleeing for their lives. Sirens blared behind them as dozens of searchlights sliced through the pitch black of night. As hope of escape began to fade, Seiran and Ringo turned to each other...
The Armstrong Treasure!
Seiran whimpered about wanting to go home while Ringo gave her an encouraging pat on the shoulder. This was far from their first night of phantom thievery. Their spirits had been strengthened from their days spent as rival dango stall owners, their thieving techniques had been honed under strict supervision, and their bodies had been built up by rigorous training. All of that was to serve them well that night.
Remembering all that she'd overcome thus far, Seiran felt a flurry of courage in her heart. It was at that moment, a carrot-shaped note came flying toward her.
"When three shooting stars align, relaunch your assault." So read the note from Seiran and Ringo's leader, Junko (codename: Pure Rabbit). Seiran stood up, still shaking with fear as Ringo began stretching.
The difficulty of this mission was undoubtedly Lunatic, made worse by the fact the enemies were already aware of their presence. But even amid such mortal danger, three streaks of light blazed across the night sky, giving the moon rabbits hope. They gripped hands and made a break for the mansion.
If they successfully completed the mission, they were to be named official members of the Apollo Phantom Thieves.
