Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

background check

“Be honest. Who was that man last night?”

At my question, Rachel looked at me for a moment without saying a word and then spoke out.

“What are you talking about?”

“Don’t take the shichimi. The man next to you was trying to kill me!”

“Damn, I don’t know what you were dreaming of, but I didn’t even go out last night, did I?”

I poked my tongue out at her shameless attitude.

Are you going to come out like this?

There was no possibility that I had misunderstood and misunderstood. Obviously Rachel was certain, and the last voice heard was the same as hers. It was at a level where there was no woman to be confused with like in Sherlock in the first place.

However, it is frustrating that the person involved is in denial and does not know anything about it.

“Are you really like this?”

“Do you have any evidence? Do you have any proof that the woman you saw is me?”

To say that in the first place is like admitting the truth to yourself.

Really, I was just mistaken, and if it were anyone else, I would have been worried when I heard that I almost died. He didn’t even mention it because he had seen him run away.

But even if you say this, if you hold on to the end and say no, there is no other way. In any case, there is no definitive evidence that cannot be avoided.

If I had known that it would come out like this, I should have looked at the opportunity a little more carefully. If I had already regretted it, it might have been too late.

However, I couldn’t give up here. It wasn’t just that I was embarrassed that I almost died. If we don’t find out why Rachel came into contact with Drakhan, the whole story of the original story would collapse.

Even now, it was necessary to somehow find out the cause and correct it.

“Rachel.”

“What. What other nonsense are you trying to say?”

“I think we are friends. Pretty close friends.”

“·················ogue.”

Rachel shuts her mouth as I start talking seriously.

“So, as a friend, I will ask you one last time. Wasn’t it really you?”

“······that.”

After a while, she opened her mouth and was about to start talking hesitantly.

“What are you whispering in the corner over there? Class is over, so hurry up to class.”

The next class teacher suddenly came and interrupted the conversation.

Then Rachel immediately turned around as if running away from her seat and spoke.

“Let’s go in. Stop talking nonsense.”

Are you going to run away like that?

I stared at her back with complicated eyes.

***

Lunch hour.

The children gather together and talk.

Julia also came to our seat and poured out rapid-fire cannons with a more excited look than usual.

The topic of the conversation is none other than the Phantom Thief Raven. It was about yesterday’s casino incident.

“Aren’t you really curious? How did you steal the pearl without revealing yourself?”

“I know.”

“Besides, this time the notice was written in a code like a riddle!”

“I see.”

“The police are investigating, and they said they were thinking about the possibility that there might be an accomplice?”

“It could be.”

As if he was just responding without a soul, Yulia put her hand on her waist and pinched it in a tone that seemed to be dissatisfied.

“what. Why are you both like this today?”

“yes? what.”

“It’s strange! Crowe is crazy, and Rachel doesn’t say a word at all!”

I’m not really out of my mind.

I guess I couldn’t concentrate on Julia’s story well because I just had a lot to think about.

By the way, did the police say they were considering the possibility of an accomplice?

Are you smarter than you think? Or did you find any evidence?

If so, I carefully guessed that Sherlock might have found it.

“Oh, did you two ever fight?”

I woke up from my thoughts at the sound of a voice next to me.

“no. What are you fighting for?”

“I think the reaction is right? What happened to you to go that far?”

It wasn’t a fight. When we were talking earlier, there was no shouting or even talking.

Simply put, it’s just gone. In particular, Rachel, who was always playing pranks first, is quiet, which only makes it stand out more.

Julia narrowed her eyes and looked at us in turn, whispering quietly in my ear.

“Cro. you forgive me first Basically, a mature person loses.”

“No, we didn’t really fight.”

“Yes. So is it okay if I forgive you?”

I have no intention of listening to it at all. However, I cannot explain this situation.

After that, Yulia goes in the opposite direction and whispers something in Rachel’s ear. You seem to be saying something similar to what you said to me.

Rachel didn’t show any reaction, perhaps not even interested in that.

“Both are really… Sharon. Come and say something.”

Julia calls for Sharon, who was slightly away from her.

She was originally a quiet and quiet personality, so she didn’t really talk about it even when she saw our subtle atmosphere.

This is what I feel again, but it seems that Julia and Rachel had a significant share in our group. When Rachel’s joking jokes, which seemed insignificant, disappeared, the atmosphere became much more blunt and dull.

I pondered for a moment, then looked to the side and spoke.

“hey.”

“···What.”

A blunt reply that came back one beat late.

Isn’t he really crazy? If you’re going to be pissed, I should be pissed. What did you do wrong?

“okay. I’ll trust you, so stop.”

“Stop it. what.”

“Do it as usual. The kids just misunderstood.”

Julia looked at this side with a smile and smiled uncomfortably. It was a smile like a teacher looking at a kindergartener.

Rachel frowned, perhaps conscious of the gaze, and muttered softly.

“···huh. On a stinky topic.”

Is this the tsundererain you’ve only heard of?

It doesn’t seem like he really likes me. Then it’s just not cheap, is it?

Anyway, as time passed, the guy slowly returned to his usual form.

“So, what did this magazine say about Raven…”

“stop. Raven, Raven, I’m going to scab on my ears. Do you have anything else to say?”

“yes? Then, how about an interview with an IRS employee who was trained by Raven?”

Rachel looked at Julia with a tired expression.

To be honest, I kind of understood that look. ‘Cause I’m feeling the same way right now

“captain. Are you sure you’re not a true phantom thief follower?”

“It’s just a topic like that. Besides, the reason we got together is partly because of the presentation on the theme of phantom thief…”

“Hmm. Something is suspicious.”

Then, suddenly, an arrow pointed at me.

“Hey chubby. What do you think?”

“uh? What···. It could just be.”

“a. It’s not fun.”

I’m more suspicious of you than that. He said he would trust him, but the woman he met last night still firmly believes that Rachel is.

Even if Yulia is a phantom thief follower right now, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. If you ask me, isn’t it the most normal and normal among the four of us?

First off, needless to say, I am the phantom thief Raven himself.

The reticent Sharon turns out to be the detective Sherlock and suspects that he is hating me.

Taking it one step further, Rachel has now become a very suspicious woman who secretly engages in the night with a gang of villains.

Oh my gosh. Looking at it, it’s a real bummer.

How could they both look so suspicious and dangerous?

Knowing this, Julia may also have a huge secret.

No, but it won’t be. Still, he’s the main heroine of the original, so I guess that’s right.

Time passed, and it was time to go to school.

In the end, Rachel didn’t even tell the truth to the very end, and didn’t even talk about the subject itself.

[Are you going to pretend you don’t know?]

‘no. Could it be?’

As I said before, this was not simply a matter of passing over. It was necessary to find out the cause through a definitive fact-finding investigation.

The question is, how do we find out the truth in a situation where Rachel, who is the party, does not cooperate?

The first thing that comes to mind is the tail, but it didn’t seem like it would be easy.

At the point of being caught once, he would have been much more careful, and like yesterday, Siegfried could really die the moment he met him.

Do you do a separate background check?

But how…

“ah.”

A good way came to mind.

I didn’t know that I would come to you at a time like this for this reason.

Still, if you have come to a conclusion, you should act as quickly as possible.

It is said that it takes about two days to absorb the power of the pearl, so it seemed good to take a break from phantom thieves’ activities and investigate this.

After leaving the academy, I immediately changed clothes and went to my destination.

The final destination of my steps was the witch’s shop.

“Oh. welcome. Mr. Phantom.”

“hello. Good night.”

Now the witch has become so friendly that the feeling of being a business partner is strong. As always, she greeted me with a seductive smile and said:

“What are you doing today? In case you finally want to accept my heart…”

He cut the prank that started again with a single knife and brought out the main point.

“Can you take me to the witch’s village?”

“···Oh my goodness.”
