in the morning, pearl asked if she could go to khurian village to put away the urn and have their people look after it, he agreed as he lead her their and give her his phone number when she was ready to leave

after that, the two headed off back to the Lordly Tailor, however, he saw how sad maya looked when they got inside

'..the Treasures of Kurain exhibit is all ruined now...'

she said, frowning, she sighed as she apologized for being so sad

'I'm sorry, it's just so sad... This was our big chance for everyone to learn about spirit channeling...'

phoenix patted her forehead as he tried to cheer her up

'hey it's okay violet, we've got the Sacred Urn back, maybe they can reopen it'

maya looked up at him a little hopeful

'..r-really?'

'yeah, Maybe we can label it, "The Urn of Mask☆DeMasque's Desires"! That would probably attract a lot of attention'

he pointed out, maya then beamed in excitement again, ..maybe that would catch a lot of attention after all

'..Whoa. Whoa. Whoa!! That's brilliant, Nick! We could clean up! And be filthy rich! Woohoo!!'

she cheered as she jumped up and down a bit, phoenix chuckled softly at her giddiness, he gently took her by her hand as they went down into the basement, ..to their surprise, ..adrian was down their

'..andrews?'

phoenix called out a bit, adrian jumped in her shoes as she looked over at them

'Oh...! It's you, Mr. Wright!, Um, so! How is it going!? What about the Sacred Urn...?'

'It's been taken care of already'

he said, maya nodded, smiling she glee, happy her urn was in proper care, adrian eyes widen a bit as she asked, slightly surprised

'"Taken care of"...? Do you mean... It's been found!?'

maya nodded as she explained

'yes! It was brought in during the trial today!' 

adrian eyes widen as she smiled at phoenix, this guy was amazing at his job

'Wow! Really!? You really are the greatest, Mr. Wright.'

phoenix blushed a bit red as he gave credit where it was due

'i-uh, didn't do much really, it was "It was Mask☆DeMasque's" wife that found it really..'

he admitted, adrian raised a brow at the wife part, but changed the subject to something else in the mean time

'Well, anyway, I'm... I'm so relieved!, I just heard all about it on the news... So that detective was actually the thief all along!'

'yeah, and the motherfucker thought he could get cocky with me'

he growled that last to himself as he glared off to the side, adrian frowned at her stupid actions as she clutched his little orange planner, she felt awful for picking that detective to protect the urn

'It-It's my fault. I'm the one who ended up hiring DeMasque to guard the treasures...'

phoenix sighed as he gently patted adrian's shoulder to comfort her, he didn't blame her at all, she was just trying to do her job

'Don't blame yourself. You were just doing your job.'

maya on the other hand, did somewhat blame adrian, after all, she was the one who trusted amtey with it
