148 – Fresh Combination
After. I almost got caught.
As I narrowly escaped Juliet’s house, I let out a sigh of relief.
You didn’t catch it, did you? Even if she noticed the incongruity, she couldn’t be sure it was me because she didn’t leave any evidence.
It felt unfortunate. Because she had missed the decisive evidence right in front of her eyes.
I could have checked everything if I had had a little more time.
But taking the paper away was too risky, so I had no choice. Even if it’s just one chance, if it turns into a pod and steps on her, it’s ruined.
Still, I got a lot of information, so I’ll have to be content with this for today.
The documents I checked contained information that could infer what her previous job was.
From the conclusion, it seems that Juliet worked as a spy.
It was confirmed that detailed information about the Grace family was densely recorded, and that information on various noble families within Britannia was clearly organized.
This was a fact that I had guessed to some extent.
She expected that in order to earn that much money in a short period of time, she would have had a job that was difficult to reveal to others. As well as being competent in many ways enough to be awarded.
If there was a problem, it was the stagnation of the organization that handed over the information. I had several potential locations in my mind, but all of them went off the rails.
“I never thought it would be a different country…”
None other than the kingdom of the Franks was behind her.
Her name remained in her memory only as a background from when she went to meet the Witch of Prophecy.
To be honest, even now I am dumbfounded because it is so unrealistic. It’s to the point where I’m suspicious that it’s all a hidden camera that’s prepared to fool me.
Isn’t it a bit strange to think intuitively?

Juliet left her orphanage just a few months before she became an adult. But in just a few months, she became a spy for a neighboring country, and she was secretly handing over information from Britannia nobles?
No matter how talented she is, is it really possible to build her credit in a short period of time?
Maybe it’s not. What if she didn’t start espionage after she left the orphanage?
In other words, the possibility that there was some contact with the Frankish kingdom before that time cannot be ignored.
If you think about it, isn’t the name Juliet also a French naming?
Sharon has a bit of that feeling, and the surname Honcia also seems to be more suited to France than England.
Of course, from this point on, it’s just speculation based on intuition without any evidence, so I can’t be sure. That’s why I regret the contents of the rest of the documents that I couldn’t check earlier.
For now, let’s leave all possibilities open. It’s a world where magic and phantom thieves exist anyway, so it’s not strange no matter what happens.
More than that, the most important thing now was whether Juliet was still carrying on with her espionage activities.
If so, how will she react when she finds out who I am?
I don’t know exactly, but I didn’t think I would welcome the fact that I was a phantom thief.
She let out a deep sigh as her head got complicated.
I move because I want to focus on my phantom thief activities with ease, but whenever I do that, it feels like there are more problems that I need to pay attention to. Wouldn’t it be better to sever ties with the world and live only as the Phantom Thief Raven?
If you think about it like this, it will eventually move again.
After that, he conceived her future plan in his head and watched the night sky together with the Goddess.
That’s how the day ended.
***
The next day, the daily life at the academy goes on as usual.
Since the midterm exams ended not too long ago, the atmosphere was relaxed and only a few students paid attention during class.
Of course, that was the case for me as well.
Did you say three days of determination? My determination to improve my magic skills was swept away in just a week.
But I also feel unfair. After school, I was so busy with so many things to do that I had no choice but to slack off at the academy.
“Why are you like this? Did you hang out all night with your relatives?”
“Uh. It’s roughly the same.”
As she turned around, Rachel caught her snort and took her eyes off her.
“Ehh. Was it fun to leave friends and play? Do you regret it later? I know how many opportunities there will be to hang out with pretty girls like us.”
“Isn’t it embarrassing to say that you are beautiful?”
“Why me? They say a beauty is a beauty.”
It’s such a great confidence. It was even worse that I couldn’t bear to refute that statement.
“Not to mention my rich girl.”
“That’s right.”
“Hey. Why did you say something to me, but Yulia immediately acknowledges it?”
Are you asking because you really don’t know? She wondered if anyone would dispute the statement that Yulia was a beauty.
Of course, it’s true that Rachel is pretty in terms of her looks, but since her impression and atmosphere are a bit frightening, it’s a style that appeals to her taste a lot.
Anyway, for my taste, I think Yulia is the prettier of the two.
As I’ve said many times already, I like girls who are like angels who are neat and kind.
In that sense, Yulia is the closest to my ideal type.
If it weren’t for the fanatical fanaticism towards Raven the Phantom Thief, it would have been perfect.
“Huh? Did you call me?”
Yulia, who happened to be passing by, mentioned her name in conversation, and she came towards us.
“This bastard is you… Town!”
“hahahaha. Nothing.”
She put her hand in Rachel’s mouth, which must have been about to say something strange, and let out an awkward laugh.
Lick.
“Ouch!”
“Two. It’s tasteless.”
Goosebumps ran down her spine for a moment. Is he finally crazy?
However, Rachel has a temper rather than a red flag.
“What? Did you grow up a lot because I looked at you? Now put your hand over my mouth. Just a little longer and you’ll just attack me?”
“Don’t say weird things in class!”
“So you mean we can do it when we’re alone?”
Oh my God. As of today, it is certain.
That this guy is a woman who is crazy enough to be classified on the same level as the Goddess.
Where did the neat and shy Rachel who made my heart beat, where did she disappear to? Tears of longing try to cover the front.
Yulia looked at our quarrel and smiled awkwardly.
“You two look very close.”
“Huh? I? With him? Hey. Anyway, there are things I can say and things I can’t say.”
“That’s what I want to say.”
“You want to keep climbing. It won’t work if you ask me to come forward.”
How did I get to this point? Still, I thought that right now is better than the days when I had no friends right after possessing, but maybe it’s time to redefine that thought.
While I was looking back on my past days, I found two people who didn’t match at all looking at each other and talking through the slightly open back door.
‘Why are the two of them…?’
My eyes widened at the fresh combination I had never imagined before.
The emotion I felt was strong anxiety. I don’t know what the hell was going on, but it was definitely not a good sign.
“I need to go to the bathroom for a second.”
I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t just leave it alone, and immediately got up and headed for the hallway.
As soon as I open the door and come out, the two people’s gazes are directed this way at the same time.
Silver hair and blonde hair. Since they are standing side by side, there is no separate piece of art.
It’s only a story when it comes to the appearance, but as I know the reality of the two, I first thought that there could be no scene more horrific than this.
After checking my face, Granger smiled and said.
“You’re in class. Why did you say no?”
Then, with Sharon’s cold expression on the other side, she answered without hesitation at all.
“I never lied. I didn’t know I was inside.”
“Ha. Do you think that makes sense now?”
“Yes. Think so.”
It’s bloody. The atmosphere was so bloody that I wanted to turn around and run away without realizing it.
After hearing the story, it might have been better if I didn’t appear.
Sharon said that I wasn’t in class and she seemed to be trying to send Granger back, but it seemed that the situation became strange because I opened the back door and appeared confidently.
Anyway, what else is going on with this guy?
Since I had a serious accident in the midterm exam, it has been quiet, so I forgot about it for a while and got along well.
Besides, why did you insist on calling me? Something was unsettling.
“Hey. Minus.”
“Oh, long time no see? hahahaha.”
I pretended to be moderately friendly and tried to get over it, but it seemed that that attitude had turned against the guy’s heart. Granger, who frowned and became a cold expression.
“I want to look around. Where are you pretending to be friendly?”
Then Sharon stood in between us and confronted him again.
“If you’re thinking about a fight, just go back.”
“··· Ha. I’m really dumbfounded. I never thought I would be ignored even by a b*tch like this.”
I feel bad hearing that. How is Sharon supposed to be treated like a b*tch by a bastard like you?
“You. He seems to be flattered that he was lucky enough to win the cooperative test once. If I played well, I would definitely win.”
“Then you should have done it right.”
“What?”
I smiled and spoke kindly again.
“I wish I had done that properly. Is not it?”
