Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief chapter 205

205 – White Heart

“Whew…”

I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that I had safely moved to the mirror world.

It was really dangerous. I wonder how long it has been since I felt this level of crisis.

Especially these days, since I’ve grown enough to easily win against an enforcer, I’ve been even more cautious.

Three-hit deadly. Thinking about it again, it’s a dirty scam.

We got out of the crisis right away, but the fundamental problem was not resolved.

After all, if I go back to the original world, the reality that bullets I can’t block or dodge are flying towards me won’t disappear.

In other words, I had to somehow find a way to destroy it here.

I don’t know if that’s really possible. First of all, since time is overflowing, if you think deeply, you might come up with something.

“Ah.”

As my body, which had been heated up by the battle, was about to calm down, I felt someone’s gaze from the top of the clock tower and raised my head.

There was only one person who would be here anyway, so it was obvious who the owner of the gaze would be.

“Hello.”

In a slightly awkward mood, I raised my hand and greeted him awkwardly.

Hayangi, who was staring at me while sitting on the railing of the clock tower, raised one hand and shook it slightly.

Certainly, compared to when we first met, you’ve made great strides.

I still have a long way to go, but it didn’t seem like it would take too long to achieve my goal at this rate.

Looking at Hayang, I was momentarily engulfed in a great conflict.

‘Should I go up?’

The original plan was to have time alone to think calmly.

Because it’s not a situation where you can be of help just because someone is by your side.

And to be honest, going up the clock tower every time is filthy hard.

Every time you enter the mirror world, you wake up at the fountain in front of the clock tower, as if the spawn location is fixed, but you have to go up to the roof every time to meet White.

As expected, this is not the case. I don’t know if Hayang has business, but the course to climb the clock tower is too rough to simply go to meet him.

At first, I climbed it while admiring the dreamy interior scenery, but after going in and out of it a few times and getting used to it, I was not particularly impressed. I’m afraid that if I keep going like this for a little while longer, I’ll get sick of it.

I should just pass today. Thinking like that, sit down on the fountain bench and think about it for a while.

“·······.”

It wasn’t long before I lost my concentration at the blatant gaze that kept stinging me from above.

In the end, I got up from my seat and looked up at Hayangi again.

A delicate snowball fight ensued with each other keeping their mouths shut, but I opened my mouth first.

“You come down today.”

Why do I always have to go up hard? In the first place, no matter how wide the inside of the clock tower is, it is bound to be narrower than the outside. If we were going to meet, wouldn’t it be much more enjoyable if Hayang came down?

But the guy just tilted his head without moving.

Ah, could it be that I didn’t understand the meaning? I thought a simple conversation like this would be possible.

After thinking about what to say for a while, he pointed to my side and motioned for me to come this way.

Then Hayang immediately responded.

I jumped off the railing and landed lightly.

“… Oh.”

That’s great. I can’t use magic here, so I’m just an ordinary person.

Isn’t it because I’m not a transcendental person? Well, it’s strange to see a time transcendant falling from a high place and getting hurt.

In an instant, White came down and came to me lightly and stood in front of me.

“Crow.”

“Yes. I remember it well.”

At least I seemed to have memorized my name, so I felt a sense of pride in my own way.

Should I say the sense of accomplishment that I taught well? It wasn’t a bad feeling anyway.

“Hmm. Come to think of it, it seems like this is the first time you’ve come down from the clock tower.”

Since I’ve only seen them from above, the feeling of facing each other from below was new again.

Come to think of it, every time I entered the mirror world, I focused only on meeting Hayang, so I couldn’t even observe the other places except for the clock tower.

I thought of taking this opportunity to look around and take a walk here and there with Hayang, but my current situation is quite urgent for that.

If I don’t come up with a way to defeat Sherlock’s three-kill killer right away, I might really die.

Or should I live here with Hayang for the rest of my life?

To live together forever in a world where only the two of us are alone. It’s not that I hate Hayang, but just imagining it makes me feel helpless.

As I imagined such a future, I let out a heavy sigh. We have to get out of this crisis somehow.

I couldn’t figure out what to do.

Should I reveal my true identity to Sherlock…?

I’m actually your classmate Cro, so please don’t kill me?

No. In the first place, she can’t be 100% sure that Sharon is right, and even if she is, there’s no guarantee that she won’t be hostile. I’d like to believe he won’t, but I guess I could say I don’t care about who I am.

While sitting on the bench and agonizing over and over again, he suddenly thought of what Hayang next to him was doing and turned his head.

The guy turned around and stared at the fountain. The gaze fixed on the flowing stream did not even move even after a long time.

‘No way…. Is this your first time coming down from the clock tower?’

As I recall, Hayang was always inside the clock tower. I’ve never been out of her, at least from the moment I first met her until now.

Is there a reason why you didn’t come down? If that’s the case, seeing that she jumped down casually now, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything like that.

“Hmm…”

Shall we look around for a bit to recharge? Anyway, while I’m here, the outside time is stopped for how long, so it’s okay, right?

Yes. If you sit still in her seat and think of negative things, her head won’t work properly.

“Hayangah.”

As soon as my name was called, White turned her head and looked at me.

“Shall we walk around?”

“·······.”

She tilts her head as if she didn’t understand what she was saying.

How should I express this in body language? After thinking about it, I just held out her hand.

Hayangi, who was staring at my palm, muttered in a low voice.

“Chocolate.”

“That’s not it.”

She said she didn’t bring it now. After several trials and errors, I finally succeeded in grabbing his hand and stood up from the bench. Hayang was quietly guided by my hand and began to follow.

That’s how the tour of the world of mirrors began. To be honest, there was also a thrilling adventurous spirit.

How far is the end here? Is it the same scenery as London in the middle of the night like here?

While walking down the street, I constantly talked to Hayang who was next to me.

Still, she barely understood anything but the rudimentary words. Even if you keep talking like this, you will be able to speak.

But after a while, even that stopped. Even if I tried to turn away, the situation in reality kept grabbing my ankle and I couldn’t leave it in my head.

Is that why? From a certain moment on, without even realizing it, I was naturally confiding my concerns to Hayang.

“You may find it difficult to understand, but right now I am in danger of dying outside.”

“I’ve been through many crises so far, but this time it’s really dangerous. No matter how much I think about it, I can’t find the answer, so I’m going crazy.”

“Did he really intend to kill me? He told me to surrender obediently, but would you spare me then? But then what about Excalibur… Oh, this is really frustrating.”

“At this rate, I might have to be locked up here for the rest of my life. The fact that this situation came to be like this in the first place is because of you… No, that’s it.”

“···Ha. What should I do? Huh? If I die, you won’t be able to eat chocolate again and you’ll have to live alone.”

In fact, rather than her words to her, they were nothing more than mere complaints she uttered to herself.

In an instant.

Chin.

“Huh?”

When Hayang suddenly stopped her, she turned her gaze to the guy in wonder.

“Chocolate. Can’t you give me?”

“···Really. Does that matter now?”

In the meantime, he manages to understand and react to that. How serious are you about alternative chocolate?

I shook my head, letting go of a blank laugh that burst out in bewilderment.

Why did you bring up her nonsensical words? Now the moment she shuts her mouth and tries to move again.

Hayang restrained my steps by putting strength into her clasped hands. And he looked at me and said.

“Am I alone now?”

I just stopped.

“… You.”

“I hate that.”

Hayangi conveyed her feelings to me using only her simple vocabulary.

“Sure.”

A pure white light began to glow from the hand she held onto her.

The light was so bright.

“Don’t die.”

Illuminated the dark streets of London at night.
