Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

gentleman and phantom

Sherlock felt his heart pound.

I thought it was suspicious from the beginning, but in the end, it reveals the dimples like this.

Of course, you can’t go wrong by acting hastily, so first of all, I pretended to be nothing on the outside and kept my composure.

Naturally, accompany them into the room, then signal the cops who are hiding there. There is no problem as we have already decided what to do.

Two people chatting without knowing anything.

“Did you like the one you bought last time? Seeing you come again.”

“It certainly wasn’t bad.”

look at that shameless face The man who looks like a good gentleman to anyone who sees it is actually Raven, a phantom thief who caused a stir throughout Britannia. It’s amazing.

Now, even that abomination ends here.

It was time to take off the mask and face his true face.

“Please check your ID first before entering.”

The guide, who did not know that the gentleman in front of him was a phantom thief, spoke with a friendly smile.

Surprisingly, Lupin meekly took out his ID card from his pocket and held it out.

Taking a peek from the side, I certainly couldn’t find anything strange in information such as name or age.

‘I’m also thorough.’

Sophistication that perfectly finished even forgery of identity.

After all, he must have been active without even knowing his identity until now.

No, maybe that’s Raven’s real identity. If you think about it with common sense, there is little chance of going to the crime notice site in its true form, but he’s always moved outside the line of common sense.

The receptionist who was handed the ID did not find any problems and returned it to the owner.

It was the expected result. It’s just a fake ID that’s sloppy enough to be noticed by the receptionist.

Joanne also went through an identity check, and finally it was Sherlock’s turn.

“···ah.”

This was the problem with Sherlock himself. Because she only disguised her appearance, she didn’t prepare a fake identity.

She hesitated without taking out her ID, and soon the receptionist looked at him strangely. The two people who had already checked their identities followed, also turned around and expressed their doubts.

Can not be done. The longer he hesitates here, the more suspicious he becomes. In particular, there is a good chance that Raven will quickly sense the suspiciousness and run away.

However, it is even more impossible to reveal your true identity here. Just as he glanced at Lupin’s ID, the other party will also see and remember her information.

have to do something

But what to do?

After a moment’s contemplation, Sherlock quickly pulled the card out of his pocket and handed it to the receptionist.

The guide’s eyes widened when he saw it, and he had a look of astonishment.

“Sir, I’m sorry! Have a good time!”

sparkling golden light.

It was a VIP pass.

In the current situation, dont be close to the best. However, this was not a perfect solution.

Naturally, it had to attract much more attention than ordinary ID cards. The people already around are buzzing, Joanne rubbing her eyes, and Lupin staring with interest.

As I tried to ignore it and went inside, I heard a disgusting voice next to me.

“I knew she was the girl in the house, but she must have been a bigger tycoon than I thought.”

“uh···. Charlotte? Maybe the mistake I made earlier is annoying…”

Sherlock sighed in response when the worried reaction unfolded exactly.

“Just treat me like you used to. It’s convenient for me too.”

“Oh, okay! I’m the kind of person who really doesn’t care…!”

“If that’s what you want. I will do that.”

He tried to rationalize himself, saying that he couldn’t help it.

Isn’t it better to be a casino VIP lady with a lot of secrets than to reveal her identity to Raven?

Anyway, the crisis somehow managed to get through, so now there’s only one thing left.

As soon as he enters the room, the police arrest him.

“It’s just the right time for the auction to start.”

“The middle room is a private sale. Are you going here today?”

The undisclosed property Joanne pointed to was the treasure the phantom thief predicted to steal today.

“Hmm···.”

Lupin rubs his chin and pretends to be in trouble.

Joan, who was watching it, raised the corner of her lips and whispered a little.

“Actually, I heard some information, but there were rumors that the sale was not a joke.”

“okay?”

“I don’t know exactly what it is, but I’m pretty sure it’s not normal.”

Where else do you hear such rumors?

Anyway, it’s rather good. Thanks to her, I have a plausible cause, so I will show my true feelings right away.

Lupin nodded and spoke with his hand on the schedule.

“But I like it.”

“···yes?”

“How about going to the leftmost room?”

Hearing him, Joanne and Sherlock, as well as Joanne, were perplexed.

‘what? Are you thinking of me?’

Do you doubt yourself and do it on purpose? Naturally, he knew he was going to enter a room with a goal, but he said something he had never thought of.

‘no. let’s be calm I’ll go to the middle room in the end.’

As soon as he thought so, as if teasing her, Lupin immediately strode into the room to the left.

“Wait.”

“Well? Why?”

“Is there any reason not to go to the middle room? The items for auction there…”

A complete collection of children’s books.

In other words, it was a fairy tale book.

Just before Joanne threw rice cakes, why would she refuse? A children’s book that doesn’t suit a middle-aged gentleman at all?

Sherlock couldn’t understand the current situation.

Even if it’s wrong, it’s definitely wrong.

Lupin shrugged his shoulders and calmly answered the girl’s question.

“If it’s really as precious as Ms. Joanne said, wouldn’t the competition be fierce? Unfortunately, I am not a wealthy person.”

“then···.”

“Besides, the items I am auctioning here are going to be quite helpful for the kids I sponsor.”

What more can I say here?

You all know that you’re a phantom thief anyway, so why don’t you just reveal your identity?

Rather, Sherlock himself would be treated like a madman.

“·················ogue.”

“Ah, if you are curious about the auction going on next door, please come. You don’t necessarily have to participate in the auction together. Then I will.”

Lupin leisurely enters the room on the left, leaving only those words behind.

I was left in my seat, staring blankly at his back, when I heard Joanne’s voice next to me.

“He is a very special person. Yes?”

“···yes.”

Now I don’t know what

Whether that man is a phantom thief or not, the only option is to follow him and check it to the end.

There were hardly any people in the not so spacious room.

It was natural. How many people come to the casino and participate in the children’s book auction?

It was surprising that such a geek existed here.

The three of them sat in the same row to participate in the auction. Hearing the moderator’s slow pace, Sherlock grew increasingly nervous.

In the next room, it’s time to start the auction of the target. However, Lupin, who he thought was the culprit, is leisurely looking at children’s books.

‘Is my intuition wrong?’

If that was the case, I had to leave my seat immediately and run to the next room.

There was no room for wasting time like an idiot.

But the anger continues to hold onto her ankles.

Obviously, there must be something in that Lupin man. Why is he so relaxed?

Or is my interpretation of the notice wrong?

Sherlock’s high self-esteem began to crack little by little.

At that moment, a small murmur was heard from outside the room.

Afterwards, a person who looked like an auctioneer came up on stage and urgently informed the moderator of something.

The moderator’s expression hardens as soon as he hears the whisper.

The incident happened.

Sherlock got up quickly and ran back.

“uh? charlotte? Where?”

Ignoring even the question from behind, the girl sprinted into the middle room in question.

There was a gadget grabbing his forehead and squinting his eyes.

“You hit it again.”

“Detective! What about Raven!?”

Gadget turns his head to look at Sherlock at the urgent cry.

She took a deep breath and answered in a low voice.

“Things are gone.”

“·················ogue.”

Meanwhile, Joanne, who was in the room on the left, glanced behind her over and over again.

“Is it okay if I don’t follow you?”

“Look, there is something urgent. Will it be resolved if we intervene?”

Memories of the past that popped into her mind.

Surely, how can they help a girl with a VIP pass?

Seeing that the surrounding atmosphere itself is turbulent, it seems that something has happened to the casino.

Was that the reason Charlotte left her job?

Maybe it’s a casino core player. For example, the general manager’s daughter.

At that moment, Lupin, who was wiping his hands, got up from his seat and said:

“I think the casino atmosphere is very strange today.”

“Iknow, right···.”

“Even if there were more, it would be difficult to enjoy it properly, so I will try to go soon.”

Joanne asked, tilting her head.

“yes? Already? Then the fairy tale book…”

“What should I do? The host has also gone somewhere in a hurry, but I can’t steal it without the owner.”

That, of course, makes sense.

While Joanne was bewildered by the sudden change of circumstances, Lupin leisurely turned around and left the room to say goodbye.

“Then see you next time. If there is a connection, that is.”
