Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

butterfly effect

It was not difficult to figure out where this place was.

That’s because it hasn’t been long since then.

The question is, why does this scene appear in Rachel’s past?

A grumpy looking fat bald middle-aged man.

A case of stealing a necklace called ‘Smile of the Sun’ from a wealthy man named Rapano.

I vividly remember the moment when I first met Sherlock.

“Are you going to take the smile of the sun? If you can, do it!”

It is also undoubtedly It even perfectly matched the lines in my memory.

why?

What kind of past does the crystal ball want to show me?

Regardless of my question, the past time continued to flow.

Rapano, disguised as a mage killer, leaves the security behind me and goes downstairs. Afterwards, the former me takes off my disguise for a while and steals the necklace from the safe.

After many twists and turns, Raven, the phantom thief, meets Sherlock for the first time in the mansion’s garden.

He succeeds in escaping with a simple greeting and the smile of the sun.

That was all I was aware of.

But this world is real, not a cartoon. Just because I left the stage wasn’t like a play where the story didn’t go on.

Rapano, who had lost sight of the phantom thief in front of him, burst into anger with a reddened face.

“That damn little thief…! You dare steal my treasure!?”

Conversely, Sherlock tries to leave the mansion without any regrets as soon as he sees that Raven is gone.

Rafano called the steps of such a girl.

“Where are you going!? To break into my house without permission and sneak out!?”

“I was just trying to help you catch the phantom thief.”

“Do you think I’ll just pass by saying that?! Throw off that strange hat and reveal your identity!”

Sherlock sighed and poured out a bitter accusation.

“A pathetic person.”

“···What, what!?”

“If you were a little less stupid, you could have caught the phantom thief. How could you be so stupid?”

“It’s like such a cheeky little boy! I won’t let you go!”

Rapano spit out a warning spurred on by evil with a point. But Sherlock didn’t show any fright, but returned only his cold eyes.

It was pitiful to see the girl’s green eyes glowing in the dark for nothing.

‘Are you using magic?’

It was not certain, but the energy flowing around the girl was unusual.

Especially those sparkling eyes. The green color I had encountered in the sewer before had the power to make people dazed.

Completely terrified by Sherlock’s gaze, Rafano stood there, unable to restrain herself, until she left the mansion.

Looking through the crystal ball, he was a very pathetic man. In the end, he was left alone in the large garden, unable to calm his excitement, he repeated muttering to himself.

“All these damn bastards are ignoring me… I’ll show you I’m going to let you know just how scary this Rapano-sama is…”

Perhaps that decision has not been properly realized. Actually, it’s been quite some time, and I have no memory of any influence Rapano had on me. Maybe Sherlock too.

Rapano’s murmuring did not stop even after a long time had passed. On the contrary, the more it drooped, the more absurd self-rationalizations, excuses, and meaningless murmuring continued.

“shit. My tactics were all perfect, but where did it break? If all went according to plan, the thief would have been nothing!”

I’m not angry, but I’m sad now.

How long do we have to look at this seemingly meaningless palace?

That was then.

“okay! It’s all because of that mage killer! After accepting the quest, he was pitifully swapped with a phantom thief, so the perfect plan was ruined!”

I had no idea what the stream of consciousness was.

That you find the angle of someone else’s fault over there. Isn’t that really the god of self-rationalization?

In conclusion, Rapano’s plan was not perfect from the start.

Because I was caught in a trap I had devised from the beginning and asked me to make a request, disguised as a mage killer.

When I planned to steal the smile of the sun, I naturally placed an advertisement for the mage killer in Rapano’s route in advance. Rafano, who saw it often and engraved it in his mind, saw my notice and immediately made me think that I should hire a mage killer.

In other words, it was completely played in the palm of my hand from the beginning.

But why doesn’t Rapano doubt that? With all of that in mind, I purposely impersonated the name of a fairly famous mage killer around me.

Indeed, everything was a perfect plan.

At least until you see the back of the case through this crystal ball.

Why was I so restless?

I made the same mistake as Rapano, who I thought was stupid. Maybe I was too convinced that my plans and tricks were absolutely perfect and that there were no problems.

Who would have known that Rapano didn’t end up blaming others as a simple self-rationalization, but went directly to the impersonated mage killer himself?

The space changes naturally following the back of a bald middle-aged man, and the black market hidden in the dark alleys of London is vividly unfolded.

There, Rapano was sitting face to face with a blunt-looking man and talking.

That man was Aslan, the mage killer I pretended to be.

“It’s the beginning of a golden hour.”

“It’s no use getting lost! You obviously made a deal with me, so why didn’t you show up that day? Do you know how much damage and shame I have suffered because of you!?”

Despite the unreasonable force, the opponent maintained a calm attitude. To be precise, he showed his reticent anger subtly.

“I don’t know how many times I’ve said this, but I don’t remember receiving such a request. How long do I have to keep repeating this meaningless pun?”

“Ugh! Then who will pay for my necklace?!”

“I don’t know why you’re asking me that. Wouldn’t it be normal to seek help from the national police or enforcement officers if they were stolen by a thief?”

At the very natural question, Rapano crouched for the first time and showed weakness.

“Well, that’s…. I thought there was no need to call the police for nothing.”

“indeed. You must have done a lot of crazy things.”

One of the reasons I decided to rob Rapano’s mansion was that he was a wicked man.

Even if the police do retrieve the necklace, the chances of returning it to Rafano are very slim.

It was not at all strange that Rafano was taken to prison during the theft investigation in the first place.

Aslan, who had remained expressionless all along, gave a slight smile on his lips for the first time.

Quite an ominous laugh.

“Did you say Rapano? So what about this?”

“What do you mean? Have you finally thought of getting down on your knees and apologizing to me…?”

Is that guy still out of his mind? A foolish figure who is muttering nonsense or muttering that can’t even be done in a situation where the initiative has passed.

“I’ll introduce you to a good solver.”

“A fixer?”

“okay. Since you have a lot of skills, it won’t be difficult to recover the necklace that the phantom thief stole.”

“Oh oh···! That’s not bad!”

Aslan added, gesturing with his hand.

“Oh, of course Fay is pretty strong, but as far as I know you’re pretty generous, so it’ll be fine.”

Suddenly, the person with whom he spoke more politely.

But Rapano was nodding his head satisfactorily, perhaps not even noticing that fact.

I didn’t know this was happening behind the scenes.

But Rachel is still nowhere to be seen. Moreover, contrary to Aslan’s words, there was no attempt to retrieve the necklace from me.

“great! Let me introduce you to the solver right away!”

“It’s cool, just like it looks, so it’s big. Then can you wait here for a little bit? I will call you right away and arrange a seat for you.”

“Of course not, of course. I’d do anything if I could beat that naughty little thief!”

After Aslan had been away for a while, a new person soon appeared.

A very distinctive bright yellow-green hair.

With intense makeup and a voluminous body that is revealed even over the coat.

But more important than that was the dragon embroidery on the black coat.

It was Veronica, a member of Drakhan.

Rapano is completely obsessed with her beautiful looks. My heart was about to burst out of my eyes.

“hello?”

“Gosh. hello. But maybe there is a solution…”

“yes. I am the solution. Please call me Vera.”

With one smile, Rapano smiled like a pervert.

“Yeah. Mr. Vera. It’s a relationship that we met like this, but if you have time later…”

“I heard from Aslan. You said you wanted to retrieve the necklace that the thief stole, right?”

“Uh, yes. you’re right. That’s right…”

“Here is the contract. Check it out and sign it, and we’ll start right away.”

Eventually, Rafano stopped accumulating and lifted the contract.

And exclaimed in amazement.

“Hey, this is too expensive…!”

“yes? Considering the value of ‘Smile of the Sun’, would this be acceptable?”

“…but this isn’t it. I’d rather find it on my own!”

It seems that the price was ridiculous enough that even Veronica’s beauty world didn’t work.

Rapano stands up from his seat resolutely. Then the solver smiled as if he had been waiting.

“I know. So how about doing this?”
