Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

Princess Victoria

let’s be calm

I don’t know who my opponent is and what his intentions are, but first of all, he doesn’t seem to be hostile to me at all.

Rather, he calmly tries to talk even though he knows that I was trying to steal the sword.

You should not lose your composure in this situation.

Without showing a sign of embarrassment, he opened his mouth as calmly as possible.

Did I say you don’t steal swords?

“Ah, I was thinking about it for a while.”

“It’s worrying. If you sneak in here in the middle of the night, doesn’t that mean you’ve already made up your mind to steal?”

Well, in general, that’s not true.

But I’m no ordinary thief.

“Today is a preliminary search before a full-scale show.”

“show? What does that mean?”

For some reason, the other party seemed to be very interested in me.

Otherwise, I might be wasting time on purpose to hold onto my ankle.

“It’s like sending a notice and then stealing from the stage where people are paying attention.”

“Oh, that’s right. You’re the phantom thief that’s been raging these days.”

“It is an honor for you to know me.”

don’t be vigilant

It’s just that I’m taking the shichimi off, and there’s a good chance that I’ve known who I really am from the beginning.

This bizarre situation may also be a high-level trap to induce my vigilance.

Still, there is only one reason why I don’t run away in haste and join the conversation.

Because it was impossible to measure the skill of the other person at all.

Obviously, no one was there when I first entered this room. At first, there was no sign of presence in this detached palace.

That means that I was hiding from my senses from the beginning, or that I sneaked inside and caught up with me. Whichever of the two was correct, it was never a situation to be taken lightly.

More importantly, the Goddess didn’t warn me either.

If it means that I even avoided the eyes of the Goddess, it means that I am an opponent that I can never win.

‘What should I do?’

[Well. A good way came to mind.]

‘Five···! I believed it too!’

[You’re flirting with that girl.]

‘··········.’

Just talk is cancelled.

Apparently, the Goddess knew it earlier, and it was clear that she was deliberately sparing her words. There is no one in the world to trust.

“Then why don’t you steal a sword today?”

He regained consciousness and looked at the woman in front of him.

I keep repeating the same question over and over again, but I have no idea what the plot is.

Do you really want me to steal the sword?

Or, conversely, if you say you will steal now, will you attack right away?

Blue eyes staring at me.

What is that blonde woman thinking with her eyes on me?

The answer I came up with at the end of Django.

“yes. I do not steal.”

“Right.”

“Are you disappointed?”

“no. Should I be disappointed that the thief won’t steal my things?”

A calm tone, as if asking if you had lunch today.

However, the content contained within it had a weight that could never be passed on.

She added with a smile on her lips.

“Ah, to be precise, it’s not mine yet, but it is.”

With those words, the identity of the woman in front of her was confirmed.

Victoria III.

The only heir to the throne of Britannia, the greatest country.

I was frozen hard at the fact that she was a princess and nobody else.

This is a development I never imagined.

I never expected that I would meet the princess here.

In the first place, the existence of the princess itself was not assumed at all.

Because she never appeared in the original. His name is only mentioned occasionally, and he never actually appeared.

Otherwise, you would have noticed it just by looking at the face and outfit.

“It’s a funny expression.”

Even the facial expression management that I had been paying attention to in such an unexpected situation collapsed.

If you look in the mirror right now, you’re probably an idiot with your mouth open blankly.

For some reason, from the way he spoke and the appearance, the nobleness of being just a knight was dripping out.

At most, I thought it would be a knight leader or a high-ranking aristocrat, but does that mean that the princess even put on her armor and came out to the private palace at such an ambitious time?

And without an escort?

Unless you are very confident in your skills, it would not be an easy choice.

Of course, this is inside the palace, so it’s not unusual for the princess to walk around alone, but judging from the conversation and atmosphere so far, it is highly probable that she came to know that I had invaded here.

“What do you think the princess will do with me?”

“Well. I didn’t know that a thief could proudly declare that he wouldn’t steal a sword.”

If the princess tries to arrest me, will I be able to escape safely?

In fact, even if you run away, the problem is that, since all of my plans have already been exposed, stealing will inevitably become very difficult.

But the more I listen to it, the more strange it becomes.

I mean, I kept thinking that the princess felt sorry for her. I have to say that it felt like I had to steal a sword and run away.

When you think about it in common sense, it makes no sense.

The sword that I now hold in my hand is the sword that the King of Britain uses when performing ceremonies. In other words, it is a very precious treasure with a value that is no less than a national treasure.

Do you want such a sword to be stolen, a princess whose succession to the throne has been confirmed?

No matter how hard I tried to understand, it was a sophistry that I couldn’t help but shake my head.

It’s much more reasonable to blame yourself for all my predictions were wrong. I just hit it with my senses without any basis, so of course I may have misunderstood it.

In fact, there was another way to be sure. Instead of grieving alone, ask the person concerned directly.

“What if I said I would steal the sword?”

“Well. If so…”

She paused for a moment, staring at this side, and spoke slowly.

“I would have just sent it.”

“·················ogue.”

Even after hearing the answer, the question was not answered, but the confusion only increased.

Is this princess going to have a brain battle with me now?

Do you have any bad hobbies that you enjoy watching people panic?

If I was just telling the truth.

Why does she want me to steal the royal sword?

After thinking for a while, he carefully opened his mouth.

“Like I said before, I like to send notices and dance on stage.”

“It sounds like a fun hobby to hear.”

“Will the princess watch my stage? Or will you ruin it?”

The princess let out a low laugh. As if the current conversation was genuinely enjoyable.

“Is there no option to dance together?”

“…if the princess wants it. Of course it is possible.”

If that really happened, I had no idea what kind of repercussions would happen after that.

Princess and Phantom Thief.

Putting them side by side, is there any other bizarre combination like this?

[Uh-huh. Where else is there a combination that is more fundamental than this?]

‘Goddess, please be quiet.’

Fortunately, she took a deep breath and corrected herself.

“Unfortunately, this is really the case, but if your Majesty notices it, it will be a big deal, so I will have to finish it with my imagination.”

Of course. A princess from a country cooperates with a phantom thief stealing royal treasures? The moment you get caught, you can’t just skip it. In particular, considering the historical background, there is a possibility that the monarchy itself will collapse.

“So don’t be content with watching it in the VIP seat.”

I still don’t really know what she is. Rather, the more the conversation continued, the more he fell into the labyrinth.

However, it seemed to be true that the princess really had no intention of interfering with my activities. If it’s all fake acting, it’s polite to just accept it.

In the first place, if her skills are really superior to mine, then there’s no need to bother going back, and it’s enough to subdue it right now. Therefore, I decided to trust the princess’ words for now.

I drew a card and picked it up.

A princess watching my actions with interest.

As soon as I flicked my finger while holding the card, it caught fire and the card disappeared.

And in my hand was a bright red rose.

“Ohh. You are a magician.”

“haha. It is an honor to be praised by the princess.”

When I handed the rose to the princess, she did not immediately retrieve her hand, but held out the back of her hand.

[Fufu. A very active kid. I like it.]

It was so exciting like a fish in water.

Apparently, the goddess liked Princess Victoria.

To be honest, it’s a little burdensome, but wouldn’t it be rude to refuse this?

I didn’t know what was going to happen because I offended the princess for nothing, so I kissed the back of my hand in order to live.

“It was a great show.”

“thank you. This magic show is just a taste, so please participate in the next main performance.”

“Hmm. Where do I get tickets for the show?”

I smiled and spoke.

“It is in the hands of the princess.”

“Is this rose?”

As she looked around the rose, smoke came out with a popping sound, and the rose turned into a card again. It was a notice showing a phantom thief, not an ordinary trump card.

“Goodbye then.”

I left the detached palace leaving my last goodbyes.
