Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief chapter 7

green-eyed detective girl

Now, what about this?

I thought things were going well, and I thought I’d meet a crocodile monster in the sewer.

Even a crocodile man walking on two legs!

He didn’t have anything to eat, but how he grew up, even though he wasn’t the size, he looked close to 3m.

“If we fight, will we lose?”

[Then you thought you could win?]

of course it will How can you catch a monster like that with magic?

“How do you do it! You are a goddess!”

[Why are you shifting the blame on me!?]

“You stole the necklace! Can’t it be powered up by absorbing the power of the jewel?!”

[Didn’t I say it takes time to fully absorb!]

Indeed it was If it was absorbed immediately by touching it, there would be no need to become a phantom thief and steal the jewels.

In the end, the match-up was unwinnable. There is only one way.

Just running away somehow. But it was questionable whether that would be possible.

The guy is staring at me now. If I showed my back recklessly, wouldn’t I end my life by being bitten by that vicious snout?

Once I pulled out the card. In order to escape, it was necessary to first distract the gaze.

I don’t know if this will work as well as I thought…

I’ll just have to try it though.

Shhh!

A card that flies to him.

However, after a while, he fluttered and fell to the floor.

“Wow!”

It’s not over yet. You have to push straight ahead without stopping.

This time he took off his hat and held it forward. Then a bird appeared from inside the hat.

Whoa!

It was a crow, not a dove, the symbol of a magician.

After crying loudly, he flapped his wings vigorously. Unlike me, the crow rushes forward without being afraid at all.

The crocodile seemed to panic for a moment, but then he swung his hand and started attacking the crow.

“Oh my gosh. Do you have hands?”

I don’t know if I should call it a forefoot or an arm. Anyway, the guy was definitely swinging it like a hand.

Fortunately, the crow was good at avoiding dishes and attracted quite a bit of attention.

Now is your chance! The crocodile monster attempted to escape while being distracted by the crow. Then he immediately changed his target and ran towards me.

“Ahh!”

After all, I didn’t completely turn my mind off!

As I ran as fast as I could, I looked back and calculated the distance to the alligator. And exactly the moment he came into range, he activated the magic he had prepared.

pop!

A thick smoke rose from the card that had fallen to the ground with the sound of an explosion.

A crocodile monster who is bewildered by the strange phenomenon that suddenly occurred under his feet. In fact, the magic effect ended there. A magic for smoke screens that has no lethal power at all, but only stands out. However, it is now very usefully used.

[Almost finished! Be a little bit stronger!]

While the crocodile’s speed was sluggish, I jumped to the entrance of the sewer with all my might.

It takes time to open the door and go outside.

thud! thud! thud!

“Not some horror movie!”

My heart pounded violently at the sound of footsteps coming from behind. Open the door as quickly as possible and escape outside.

But it wasn’t over yet. If you don’t close the door, the crocodile may chase you to the end.

“Okay…!”

A crocodile monster was seen rushing through the gap in the door that was gradually closing.

no! It’s too late like this!

At that moment, a crow that flew after him pecked him in the eye with his beak.

“Queek!!!”

The crocodile slowed down again with a scream of pain.

He took advantage of the gap and closed the door. Just before it was completely closed, with a crow who barely slipped through.

bang! bang! bang!

“Wow···.”

For a moment, he knocked on the entrance and there was a loud roar, but fortunately the door didn’t break or happen.

It was a really creepy moment. The goddess said in a situation where the tension in her body was relieved and she was engulfed in relief that she had escaped safely.

[But don’t you have to come back?]

“ah.”

It was. In order to return the necklace, I had to visit the sewer again. In particular, I have to get back the stolen method as soon as possible because I have to get it back before I get caught.

“Will the sewer go somewhere else?”

[Okay. When I just saw it, it seemed like he was really heated.]

Still, it’s a reptile head. I’m so stupid that I won’t forget it soon? Please, please, I prayed earnestly for that. No matter how strong I was by absorbing gems, I didn’t think I would be able to defeat that monster.

[What if it continues?]

“…then you have to go and think about it.”

Now, let’s celebrate the success of the job safely. He stroked the crow, the lifesaver, and put it back in his hat and headed home.

In my hand, there was a sparkling blue ‘sea of angels’.

***

“So. The necklace disappeared, and you don’t know how it was stolen?”

“···Yes.”

The museum’s director furrowed his eyebrows. Whoever looked at it, the old man now seemed very uncomfortable to plant.

“Do you think that makes sense?”

“sorry.”

The female detective, who had to accept all such anger, was stiff and stiff.

“What is the report of him appearing on the ceiling?”

“I checked and it was a balloon.”

“balloon? Are you saying you were deceived by a piece of balloon?”

“…it is presumed that it was the magic of the phantom thief.”

The more I listened, the more absurd it got.

“okay. it goes over once So, can you find it if you research it?”

“I think we need to figure out how it was stolen so that we can move on to the investigation.”

“You don’t know that.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

bang!

In the end, the warden couldn’t contain his anger and hit the desk hard.

“Does it make sense to not know that!? Did the necklace rise to the sky or fell to the ground? Is it that the necklace that had been doing well just evaporated into the air without a word!?”

“Looks like he used magic.”

Despite the female detective’s clerical answer, the warden did not relieve his anger, but ran even further.

“Magic!? You must have heard of the performance of the glass cover that protected the necklace! If he really used magic, he would have caught it!”

“Then what do you think the warden used?”

Despite his words, the warden was filled with laughter at her attitude of asking questions in the opposite direction, rather than being terrified.

“under! How? okay. I think there is a criminal among your cops.”

“It cannot be.”

“That’s something you don’t know. After the guards at our museum, the only people who can touch the necklace are you handsome cops.”

At the warden’s blatant suspicion, the female detective gave up her previous attitude and warned with a cold gaze.

“Do you mean that you doubt the authority of the Britannia Empire?”

“Ugh…! who said that! Let’s think about what might happen.”

A subtle confrontation ensued.

As for the ranks of the two men, the seniors are higher as the police chief and the director of the National Museum, but when it goes to the group they belong to, the story is different.

This is because Britannia’s police, along with the military, symbolize the power of the Empire and receive special treatment over other public authorities.

“As long as the exhibits have already been stolen, the police will take the right to investigate in the future, not the museum. In honor of Britain, I will retrieve the necklace.”

“Ugh…. I see.”

The female detective came out of the warden’s room and took off her hat with a sigh.

Outside the museum, there was already a commotion. Police and museum guards were mobilizing the entire area to investigate the area, but there was still no clear result.

In a familiar motion, she took out a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and began to burn it.

Black hair fluttered in the cool night breeze. A slightly grimaced expression combined with a beautiful appearance showed off her unique decadent charm.

“manager!”

A subordinate detective rushes to her.

“why? Did you find any evidence?”

“no. It’s not that…”

“Then why are you running in such a hurry?”

Now, even the smallest thing is fine, so I had to have something. Because of the lack of information or evidence, the investigation was sluggish even after several hours had passed.

The pride that had been united with outstanding performance was about to be shattered. Especially if you think about the above direct supervisor or the museum owner. I was under so much stress that I couldn’t explain it any more.

So anything. I hope this newbie brings something useful.

“He seems to know the thief Raven’s tactics…”

“Who is that person?”

“A detective.”

After throwing away the cigarette butt, she said to her subordinate.

“Guide me. To the guy who thinks it’s the detective.”

“yes!”

The two detectives moved towards the entrance of the museum.

There I found a girl leaning against the wall and waiting.

A beige hunting hat over braided buns and a short length Inverness coat.

It was a unique outfit that was difficult for ordinary people to digest, but the combination of beautiful blonde hair and vivid emerald eyes looked quite good together.

It was not difficult to realize that that girl was a detective.

The female detective approached him without hesitation and asked for a handshake first.

“I heard the story. You know the tricks of the phantom thief Raven.”

“yes.”

“How did you know that? The inside of the museum is currently prohibited except for those involved.”

“That’s my ability.”

At the girl’s answer, the female detective narrowed her eyes slightly.

“You are a wizard.”

“Right.”

“I understand for now. Come to think of it, we haven’t even said goodbye yet. I am a gadget.”

Then the green-eyed girl introduced herself.

“Call me Sherlock.”
