Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

executor

“Not a lot, but I was able to figure out some information.”

“Are you talking about phantom thief Raven?”

If that statement is true, this was a huge harvest beyond imagination.

At present, it is safe to say that virtually nothing has been revealed about him. Impression fit and body type were also difficult to see as reliable information. Since it was already revealed that he had considerable disguise abilities.

In such a situation, no matter how trivial, if there is only one piece of information, it is an opportunity to move on to another phase. If you aim for that tiny gap and try again and again, there is a chance that you will catch him by the tail like a miracle.

It means that 0% and 0.0001% feel completely different.

“It’s most likely not about Raven.”

“···yes?”

“Perhaps there was an accomplice in the casino that day.”

accomplice. Of course, it was the number of cases that the police had in mind. However, it was not possible to select a suspect from among those who could go up on the stage. Because everyone had an alibi, or only people who would never cooperate with the phantom thief.

“Then, is the information you found about an accomplice?”

“yes. To be precise, it is a suspect suspected of being an accomplice.”

“Can you call that information?”

There’s nothing wrong with knowing it once. Gadget immediately pulled out his notebook and prepared to dictate Sherlock’s words.

“Gender is male and must have been wearing shoes. He had an identity that allowed him to freely move back and forth on and off the stage, and he appeared to be in disguise.”

It was definitely information that I wanted to be a bit vague at this point in time. But even more so, I wondered how they could find out about this.

“How did you guess those things just by looking at the replacement piece of bandage? Could it be that good magic again this time?”

“When it comes to reasoning, magic is only for auxiliary purposes. It would take too long to answer the whole question of how you guessed, so here’s a short summary.”

Sherlock began to explain in a dignified tone the process of his reasoning.

Short hairs were attached from a piece of bandage. At that time, there were no short-haired women among the people who stopped by behind the stage, so the gender must be male. Also, since I didn’t see anyone with a bandage on their head, it’s reasonable to assume that they hid their true identity through disguise.

In this way, as the feast of logical reasoning based on evidence continued for some time, the tongue became more and more tongue-in-cheek.

“···Incredible.”

Gadget had no choice but to acknowledge Sherlock’s reasoning abilities.

“The most important thing is the fact that there is an accomplice to help the phantom thief.”

“That’s right. If you help me once, it means that you can do it again at any time.”

“Actually, there is one suspicious person.”

Sherlock hesitated for a moment and spoke carefully.

Gadget, who pricked his ears, asked, trying to keep his composure.

“Who is that?”

“Arsene Lupin. In fact, there is no evidence, it is just a feeling.”

“Hmm···. Sometimes intuition is the most perfect basis. There’s nothing wrong with remembering the name.”

It was a very unusual name in the first place, so there was no need to memorize it, but it was deeply engraved at once.

“The talk is longer than I thought.”

“Oh, it’s already time… Then, let’s go to the palace first.”

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to get in, but I’ll have to go and think about it.”

Two people who decided to bump into each other without any special measures.

Since it was only a short time before night fell, they hurriedly moved towards the palace.

“It’s quieter than I thought.”

“It’s going to be private. If you make a fuss, people will find out quickly.”

That is probably the biggest reason why the executor was in charge of the investigation. Originally, it was a secret public group specialized in the investigation of mysterious events that took place behind the city.

Naturally, the main gate of the palace was thoroughly guarded by the guards. They must have heard the news that a phantom thief is coming tonight, so they must be on a much tighter alert than usual.

How can I get in there?

“Should I just be prepared to take off my clothes and reveal that I am a police officer?”

“Well···. Or, why not formally ask us to let you in, since we will help with the investigation?”

“Who are you asking for it?”

“Well, can’t we just talk to the new detective?”

Gadget immediately shook his head resolutely.

“Enforcers are no ordinary cops. Coming together with a sense of choice, a regular police officer like me will definitely look at you like a worm, right?”

It was another reason she hated the Executioner. Because his pride was so strong, he often looked down on ordinary police officers and ignored them.

“Then, are you asking the landlord?”

“Uh… yes?”

“If the landlord allows it, no matter how hard you try, you can’t just ignore the executor, right?”

yes it should be Who dares to ignore the landlord here?

After all, the executioners are just one of many groups that work for the country and the royal family.

Gadget chuckled and replied jokingly.

“Then, Mr. Sherlock, please come and ask.”

“yes. Please wait here for a moment.”

“···to?”

Gadget, who was trying to understand the meaning of the words with his mouth open blankly, quickly smiled.

‘You know how to make jokes. Are you surprised?’

He always reasoned without any emotion, so I thought it was a hard piece of wood, but I had no idea that he would get hit like this.

But Sherlock suddenly turns and walks towards the entrance of the palace.

At the same time as thinking that the joke was too much, I felt an unfamiliar feeling of anxiety slowly creeping in.

Without stopping, I talked to the guards, and after a while, I was shocked to see them entering the palace together.

‘What···. What is this…!’

Maybe it’s a prank he’s making to deceive himself?

No, it can’t be. Who would let a mere cop baboon come into the palace to deceive?

So what is this? Is this really a real situation?

In a panic, Gadget stood still in place, unable to get rid of the question mark that came to his mind.

Then, the moment when Sherlock was summarily arrested for blasphemy and taken to the execution room, he even imagined.

I witnessed the scene where the girl who had gone inside finally walked out again.

Breathing a sigh of relief inwardly, he walked towards it, saw the woman following Sherlock’s side, and tilted his head.

‘Who is it? Another guard?’

It was around the time that he was thinking about whether he would be arrested as well.

Sherlock stopped in front of her and said in a calm tone.

“I got permission.”

“Permit? . . . to whom?”

The question was answered by the woman in armor standing next to him.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Alexandra Victoria Pendragon. You can call me Victoria III.”

“···to?”

A name that sounds so familiar.

Of course. It is a name that any citizen of Britannia must know.

“Go, go, princess!?”

“Hmm. It doesn’t matter if you call me that.”

“Something is strange.”

[Certainly different from usual.]

The goddess seemed to immediately sense a sense of incongruity.

A very different atmosphere and air flow than usual. Perhaps the biggest reason is that the presence is hardly felt.

If it was the same as before, it would have to be crowded with police officers all over the place to catch me and the crowds who came to take a look. The palace, seen from above, was too quiet, with only the sparsely deployed guards visible.

Even the guards who were there didn’t feel like they were defending the separate palace. Rather, it was more like he was worried that sparks would scatter in the main palace where the king was staying.

‘What is it…?’

If I had to guess, would it be related to the fact that the notice was not released to the media?

If that’s relevant, it’s probably because I’m afraid of the reprimand that will come if I can’t arrest me. If that’s the case, shouldn’t we be more thorough in our defense?

‘I do not know what the plan is, but I must not be vigilant.’

[Of course.]

Above all, it is difficult to explain this, but I must say that the air flow is different from usual.

It was not unusual for the chicken skin to sprout.

Once, I carefully entered the villa using the route I had planned in advance. Just in case, no manpower was actually deployed inside the annex.

‘…Is the princess really hiding the notice?’

A situation where such doubts were seriously running through my head.

For once, without stopping, I carefully moved to the inner room where the target was.

And the moment I finally entered the room, I found someone fiddling with the handle of the sword embedded in the altar.

A white coat and a flapping cloak.

A middle-aged man with an impressively raised hair and a messy beard.

There was no one else. There is only one person standing in this space.

The man who was still concentrating on his sword without looking away suddenly opened his mouth.

“You finally made it. Was it Phantom Thief Raven?”

With those words, the man turned his head to exactly where I was hiding.

The moment their eyes met, instinct sounded the alarm.

That guy is dangerous.
