running out of the restaurant with a wad of cash, looks back with a guilty expression I-I'm sorry, I'll pay you back! Promise!
drops the wad of cash in front of MysticalGlacier H-here! It's all yours! I-I was just... overwhelmed by the moment, you know?
You are so lucky that I’m not angry at you right now…
picks up the wad of cash and stuffs it into MysticalGlacier's pocket L-luck has nothing to do with it, my friend! I-I'm just full of...uh...
Get in the car, we’re going home.
hops into the car excitedly Home? But... but I thought we were gonna go to the music store!
We are. After you pay me back.
starts rummaging through his pockets R-right, right! I'll pay you back, I promise! Just let me find my wallet real quick!
You mean this stack of money?
eyes widen in panic Oh no! That's not... that's not my wallet! I mean, it looks like my wallet, but it's not! I swear!
frantically searching through the glove compartment No, no, no! You don't understand! This must be some kind of mix-up! I can prove it!
pulls out a receipt from the glove compartment See? This receipt is from the coffee shop I went to this morning. It proves I didn't steal your money!
Then where did I get my money from?
scratches his head, thinking quickly Uhh... well, maybe someone else put the money there? Like, um... like a prankster or something?
How could someone have gotten so much money and put it in my car?
<MysticalGlacier decides to confront the person who may have pranked them and find out the truth behind the mysterious money>
Okay, we’re going to the coffee shop.
claps hands excitedly Great idea! Let's go straight to the bottom of this mystery! I bet it's just some silly misunderstanding, right?
at the coffee shop, MysticalGlacier gets out of the car
jumps out of the car too, eager to solve the mystery Alright, let's go! I'm ready to uncover the truth and clear our names!
MysticalGlacier asks the coffee shop staff if anyone came in with a stack of money
bounces up to the counter Excuse me, have you seen anyone come in here with a big stack of money? Like, a mysterious person or something?
the staff says no, and they continue their search
gasps, eyes wide Wait! I think I saw something! There's a hidden door over there, behind the bookshelf! Let's check it out!
they check it out, but there’s nothing in there
starts rummaging through the bookshelf, looking for any clues Hmm, maybe there's something hidden behind these books?
pulls out a small note from between the books Aha! Look what I found! It's a note... and it mentions something about a secret treasure!
she looks around, and she notices a trap door in the floor
points excitedly at the trap door Look! Is that what the note is talking about? A secret treasure hidden underground?
peers down into the dark abyss Wow, it's like a secret passage! I wonder where it leads to. Should we go down and explore?
grabs a flashlight and hands one to MysticalGlacier Here, take this flashlight. Safety first, right?
they head down into the darkness
shines the flashlight around, trying to get a sense of their surroundings Wow, it's so dark down here! But look, there's a path leading deeper into the tunnel. Shall we follow it?
MysticalGlacier looks around, her heart pounding
takes a deep breath, trying to calm their racing heart Don't worry, MysticalGlacier. We've got each other's backs.
they continue following the path
spots a shiny object lying on the ground Hey, look over there! It's a key! Maybe it unlocks something important.
excitedly grabs MysticalGlacier's arm MysticalGlacier, look at this! It's a key, but it's not just any key.
