Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

casino stealth

White cigarette smoke rising into the sky.

A woman with short hair looked up at the dark night sky following the trail of the smoke.

Then she took a card out of her pocket and began to stare at it.

Is the solution to the riddle correct?

Well. It’s time to go check it out from now on.

Gadget raised his head at the sound of footsteps coming from the front.

A delightful smile oozes out at the sight of the girl who has changed remarkably.

“You look so much better dressed like that.”

“Do I really have to do this?”

A girl twisting her body with a slightly blushed face, perhaps embarrassed by her unfamiliar appearance.

yea that’s the way it is

How can you think of the usual Sherlock when you see that beautiful and youthful figure?

Of course, the girl’s appearance has always been outstanding, but her unusual attire has always caught her ankles.

Hunting hat and Inverness Capri.

Isn’t it the kind of clothes that a middle-aged man who smokes or smokes would do?

On the other hand, how pretty are you now?

From a luxurious wine-colored dress to loose long straight hair, elegant shoes and sparkling accessories.

She was a model of a noble young girl who could admire anyone who saw it.

“Even if you are shy, be patient. It’s for investigation.”

Gadget said with a mischievous chuckle.

But what she said was true. The reason Sherlock is dressing up like that now is because he wants to enter the casino where the phantom thief is supposed to appear.

“The detective like that is wearing the same clothes as usual.”

“Because I am a police officer. Sherlock is a civilian.”

A gadget with government-approved investigative powers and Sherlock acting as a civilian to the last. Of course, it was the background that had to be different in many ways.

Of course, Sherlock can also exercise certain rights if he formally asks for cooperation in the investigation.

But just because it’s possible in theory doesn’t mean it’s easy. Above all, the gadget was also in danger of being thrown away thanks to the executioner, so there was no room for that.

In any case, it has come to the present situation due to a number of complex reasons.

“It’s slowly leaving.”

“yes.”

When the two arrived at the casino, it was the usual center of gold.

It was because of deliberately paying attention to invisible to induce the phantom thief’s negligence.

If you think about it, the only time he pushed him into a crisis was when he induced his attention. I should have arrested him in the sewer then, but I missed it because the monster crocodile appeared.

Gadget, recalling the vague memories of the past, felt the lack of nicotine again.

The two stood facing each other in front of the casino.

“Then I wish you good luck.”

“yes. See you a little later.”

Today, the two have different roles.

While Sherlock disguises himself as a guest and looks for a phantom thief inside the casino, Gadget leads the police behind the scenes to protect the jewels.

After parting, wishing each other good luck, the girl walked up the stairs with an awkward gait to the entrance.

‘The shoes are uncomfortable.’

High-heeled shoes, which I had never worn, only felt uncomfortable. In addition to that, the dress that was tightly tightened here and there was also not found to be practical.

When they barely reached the entrance, the guard glanced over Sherlock’s movements and bowed his head.

“welcome. miss.”

The fact that the phantom thieves are robbing casinos today is known only to the general manager and a few people involved in the auction. In other words, it is a casino that is no different than usual for the majority, except for a few. It will also be the same for the guard guarding the front door.

It is unavoidable. It’s not even clear that Raven actually targeted this casino in the first place. Sherlock and Gadget have come to this most likely location, but other candidates are also undercover by the police.

‘If the contents of the notice are correct…’

Obviously the phantom thief will rob this casino tonight.

At least Sherlock was so sure.

“miss?”

“Ah, here it is.”

After being silent for a moment, Sherlock is awakened by the guard’s call.

I took out the VIP ticket that I had kept in my arms and showed it to the guard.

It was given to the general manager for the purpose of investigation. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that it was forcibly ripped off.

“Excuse me! Please have a good night! Guest!”

As soon as he saw the VIP ticket, he immediately changed his attitude and bowed his head to the point of touching the ground.

Sherlock looked at him curiously, then walked towards the belatedly opened door.

‘Wow···.’

The scenery inside the casino was fantastic enough to admire Sherlock, who usually had little emotional fluctuations.

However, a girl who walks naturally without showing off.

It was so immersed in the landscape that other people would pass it over without any doubt.

That’s probably because Sherlock looked like a pretty booty aristocrat.

Is there a Raven somewhere here?

Maybe you’re still peeping for opportunities outside the casino.

Sherlock walked forward and looked around cautiously. If I saw a suspicious person, I was going to put it on the border right away, but I haven’t seen a person of interest like that yet.

There is no need to rush into the auction house. As already mentioned, everyone who enters the auction house is being thoroughly identified, and the police are thoroughly marking the other side.

If the phantom thief is really aiming for this casino, there is a very high probability that he will be here now.

Where are you?

Who is it?

Sherlock remembered every little element in his mind.

If there was anything suspicious, I wondered if it was a phantom thief’s trick.

That was then.

“Nice to meet you. miss.”

A middle-aged man who appears in front of him and greets him warmly.

As soon as he saw the face, Sherlock thought reflexively.

‘Is it Raven?’

Since they are entwined with a rather tough affair, the possibility that he recognized himself and approached him cannot be ignored.

At first glance, it looked like she was just a gangster pervert, but the girl answered, glaring at the man without being vigilant.

“Who are you?”

“Have you ever been here alone?”

“Is that so?”

“Fufu. If it’s not rude, may I suggest accompany you? If you are here for the first time, I will kindly inform you.”

There was no need to listen any more.

Whether the opponent was Raven or not, there was nothing to gain from being with him.

It would have been much more efficient to keep a little distance and monitor from behind.

“That’s Okay.”

He tried to shake off the cold and leave the place, but the man had a much more muddy style than he expected.

“Don’t do that, think again. It is very dangerous to go alone in a place like this late at night.”

Isn’t that dangerous because of someone like you?

Sherlock looked at the man with a bewildered look and tried to open his mouth.

But before that, someone broke in between them and broke in.

“Bad old man. Are you going to do that and then go?”

“···What? poor quality?”

“Then this isn’t bad, what is it? If it doesn’t turn off, will you call the guard?”

“Sheesh. Some aunt is interfering!”

Behind the man who left with his tongue kicked, the woman shouted.

“You’re not an aunt!? I’m much younger than you!!”

a strange person

It was the first impression Sherlock felt when he saw the woman in front of him.

‘It’s probably not Raven.’

No matter how good he is in his makeup, it will be difficult to change his gender.

There is absolutely no reason to make such a fuss and draw attention.

The woman, who had been very temperamental, barely regained her composure and turned her head.

It was then that I met a woman in her twenties who looked neater than expected.

With her light brown hair tied in a ponytail, she certainly had a mature look, but she never looked like an aunty. Is it because he’s pretty tall?

A woman coughing as if sherlock’s staring gaze was burdensome.

“Hmmm. Basically, there are a lot of guys like that here. .

“thank you.”

In fact, it was a problem that the girl could handle on her own, but it was true that she helped out anyway, so I was grateful.

“Are you here alone? You look pretty young.”

“yes.”

“Oh, I’m sorry if it made you uncomfortable. Because I was in the military for a long time, the words came out.”

“it’s okay.”

The woman smiled and held out her hand.

“I like his personality. I am Joanne Watson.”

“Call me Sherlock.”

“charlotte?”

“It’s Sherlock.”

“Your name is very special.”

The two seemingly opposite personalities are surprisingly well suited to each other.

In fact, if you dig deep, Joanne, who is friendly, is just talking to Sherlock a lot.

To be precise, it would be more appropriate to say that Joanne liked Sherlock.

“Is this your first time playing a casino?”

“yes.”

“Hey. That’s good! I’m also the queen of the casino. Would it be as comfortable as my own home?”

Is that good?

Sherlock questioned himself, but decided not to speak out.

“Come to think of it, I had seen a character as unusual as you a few days ago.”

“okay.”

Sherlock passed on with a soulless answer, but Joanne was busy chatting with excitement as if it didn’t matter.

‘You shouldn’t be stuck here too much.’

The moment I thought that I had to ask for forgiveness and get up.

“It’s a man named Arsene Lupin.”

“…Lupin?”

“yes. He said it was his first time gambling, and how good he was at the game… uh! He’s the one coming in right now!”

Sherlock turned his head reflexively and looked towards the entrance.

Just then, I made eye contact with a man who had come inside.

The two looked at each other for a while.
