Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

Chapter 52

The phantom’s solution

Her suggestion was simple.

It’s just that the type of price they are asking for has changed.

From money to people.

“It is not easy to find people these days. Do you know what that means? All of them are workers who flock to the city to work in factories. In the end, only a few capitalists are talking and calling the boat.”

Being exactly the few capitalists he was, Rapano was busy joking around with brazen laughter.

“haha. Yes! How stiff people are when they taste money! The advancement of technology is not something I am looking forward to!”

“Well, what do you know, sir? So, I think it would be good if we could broker some manpower.”

Rafano nodded and asked Veronica’s request.

“But what exactly do you do? Knowing that, whether to save someone or not…”

“It’s not a particularly difficult task, so I’ll just ask you to be someone you can eat in moderation. If anything, you can bring servants who don’t fit into the boss’s last name.”

Hearing those words, Rafano frowned in contemplation with his chin on his chin.

“I am a servant who does not belong to the castle . . .”

“Oh. There seems to be such a person.”

“haha. It always overflows.”

Veronica smiled brightly.

To me, knowing how ugly and cruel she was, it was a sight to behold.

“Then the deal is done. Please.”

At the end of those words, the background changed once again.

Now, the story was approaching the final chapter.

And finally, Rachel, the protagonist of this story, reappears.

The place is the living room of an ordinary family house. Rachel is talking to a woman in a maid outfit who appears to be her older sister.

“What do you mean?”

“I think I will have to stay in the dormitory because I have to change jobs.”

“Why all of a sudden? You just started working in that mansion.”

She answered her brother’s question with a sly smile.

“Hehe···. you told me before I guess my employer didn’t like my mistake.”

“No, that’s why it’s your sister’s mistake! Why is it your sister’s fault that the ugly pig stole the necklace from the phantom thief!?”

“Because I mistook the balloon in the backyard for a thief… It was really cheesy, but maybe it was magic?”

My head was numb. Hopefully this will bring about this butterfly effect…

An extra that doesn’t even appear properly in my memory. The maid just found the balloon I had prepared in the backyard and reported it to Rapano.

How did you know that she was Rachel’s real sister?

“Ah-oh! stuffy! Just looking at it, he couldn’t speak properly and was fired straight up!? It’s just a dumpster! It was the phantom thief who made the mistake, so why is my sister getting fired…!”

“it’s okay. Did you say that your new job is really good? Besides, he gave me a lot of money.”

Rachel’s older sister waving her hands with a smirk, perhaps in order not to worry about her younger sister.

“Where do you work? What’s up? Is the dormitory far from here?”

“Close here. The work is equally maid work. The employer is also a very kind and pretty lady.”

“huh···. Still better than the bald man.”

A point of contact was formed between Rachel and Drakhan, who seemed to be completely unrelated.

Now there is only one left.

Why did she voluntarily become Drakhan’s subject?

The last question in the past that the crystal ball showed was all resolved.

Rachel knocks on the door of the mansion roughly with a bloody expression.

Whoever looked at it, it was evident that he was very angry.

Wait, at this time…

Calculating the time in the past, it was clear at that time.

During an interview with Theresia at church, Rachel suddenly fell in love with an appointment in the evening. Thanks to this, it coincided with the exact date Sharon and I went to church awkwardly.

bang bang!! As soon as I knocked on the door of the mansion, a man in a suit appeared from inside.

“What are you making such a fuss about?”

“There’s a person named Leah!? A woman who works as a maid in this house!”

“Hmm. Why?”

“Because my brother said he was going to see my sister! I know you’re doing weird things here! Bring your sister quickly!”

A man who doesn’t even move when he sees Rachel screaming.

“There seems to be some misunderstanding. Once inside, please. I will explain it to you.”

When the front door opened, Rachel went inside with a determined expression on her face, as if she had no intention of backing down.

A gorgeous drawing room inside the mansion.

An awkward atmosphere continued with the two women sitting face to face. Veronica leisurely sipping tea and Rachel staring at her as if to kill her.

“I will ask you first. What did you hear that made you react like that?”

“Don’t take the shichimi. It’s been over a week and she hasn’t contacted me. Besides, I went to the bald mansion where my older sister worked and heard all the strange rumors.”

In other words, it seems that Rachel, who had lost contact with her sister, visited Rafano’s mansion because she was worried and heard bad news about her new job.

Veronica does not change her expression even after hearing such a story face-to-face. On the contrary, it only widened a relaxed smile.

“That uniform. Are you an academy student?”

“Then what are you going to do? Are you a magician?”

“Fufu. It’s not like that. It’s nice to meet you here.”

Rachel’s expression shook slightly at those words.

“…is that also a wizard?”

“It’s not great, but somehow I got my diploma.”

A small embers on the finger with a finger snap. One of the most basic magic was ignition.

“Sister. To start with, it’s all a misunderstanding. Servants who work in the original mansion like to gossip behind their employer’s provocative myths and rumors, don’t they?”

“…so that’s it, please let me meet you in person. Then I will admit it was all my fault and apologize.”

“wait please. I’ve already called, so I’ll probably come here soon.”

As if from a well-written script, Rachel’s older sister enters the drawing room as soon as she has finished speaking.

There was no problem on the outside, and his expression was much brighter than before.

“ah! Rachel!”

“You idiot! Why are you not contacting me!?”

Rachel pours out cute grumblings in her almost crying voice, probably because she was worried a lot.

“Hehe···. sorry. I’m too busy with my work…”

“Mr. Leah. I told you not to overdo it, work in moderation and enjoy your leisure time. If I worry about such a cute little brother, my employer, I will be cursed instead of you?”

“sorry!”

Truly an ideal relationship. Rachel also seemed relieved and completely washed away from her anxiety in an atmosphere where there was no discomfort between the worker and the employer.

The older sister leaves the drawing room first to go back to work after talking to each other for a while to clear up the grievances of the past. At the same time as Rachel was about to leave the mansion, Veronica grabbed her and said:

“Sister. If it’s okay with you, can I talk to you for a moment?”

“yes? Yes. Yes.”

I want to break in between me and let Rachel know. Don’t be fooled by that fake mask, and run away immediately. But this has already happened in the past. There was no room for me to intervene.

After a moment of silence, Veronica cautiously spoke up. Although the content may be a bit sensitive, her excellent speech was enough to make it seem like a sincere interest.

“It’s a short time, but I think I’ve gotten pretty close with Leah. He’s so kind and sincere, and he’s good at his job, so if we don’t get to know each other, that would be weird.”

“Well, my sister is kind like an idiot.”

“So naturally, we talked a lot, and I heard about the difficult situation.”

Rachel did not deny that.

In fact, this content is briefly mentioned in the original work as well. In addition to her family’s poor family circumstances, she has to pay for the high school tuition at the academy, so not only her sister but Rachel also works part-time jobs whenever she has spare time.

“What can I do? My goddamn father passed away leaving me with a lot of debt. Thanks to you, only my sister is suffering like a dog…”

“If I didn’t get a scholarship, the tuition would be quite expensive.”

“·················ogue.”

I see Did you approach it this way?

“I know of a good job, but if it’s a junior, the conditions are good enough, so I think I’ll be able to recommend it to you. How are you?”

“Is it work?”

“yes. The time is in the evening and I only have to invest once or twice a week. It’s a really good job, but the condition is that you have to be able to use magic. I’m telling you because it’s the perfect condition for our juniors.”

Rachel hesitated in answering with a cautious expression. But the fingers creaking under the table were already telling him that he was biased.

“How much do you pay?”

The amount Veronica sang was definitely an attractive unit.

Finally, after hesitating for a while, Rachel bowed her head and answered.

“Give me some time to think.”

She didn’t accept it right away, but it was obvious what choice she had made next.

He must have visited the mansion again in a few days and accepted Veronica’s offer.

There was no need to see it from now on.

After all, the root cause of most problems has always been money.

I was rather fortunate.

This was an area where I could intervene.
