princess hostage
repented?
Phantom Thief Raven…?
At the shocking news, Gadget immediately doubted whether he had heard it wrong.
However, looking at the atmosphere, it seems that it is a real situation, not an auditory hallucination.
“No, wait! What exactly does repent mean?”
It was a difficult word to accept.
Or maybe there is another meaning hidden in the word repentance that you are not aware of?

Maybe it’s a metaphor that only smart people can understand.
However, as if to kill with confirmation, the executioner was completely nailed.
“Literally. He decided not to live as a phantom thief anymore.”
“yes. That’s right. From now on, please call me Reincarnation Raven.”
Raven sits carefree next to the executioner and utters absurd jokes.
Gadget, who fully understood the situation, unexpectedly felt betrayed.
I couldn’t even explain to myself exactly what I felt betrayed towards.
Only the conviction that something was firmly wrong with her was deeply ingrained in her mind.
Yes. Now, something is wrong with the situation.
Even if the phantom thief defeated the executioner, it wouldn’t be as shocking as this.
All other circumstances are acceptable, but this is not.
This was totally unacceptable.
I didn’t even know what to say or how to react.
Even if he tries to say something while pointing at Raven, his mouth is still open for a long time, but the words cannot come out of his mouth.
By the way, what are you talking about?
Why did you repent? Are you saying you shouldn’t do that?
In the current situation, no matter what he said, the picture had no choice but to be strange.
At that moment, Sherlock, who had been standing still behind the gadget, spoke first.
“It’s a lie.”
Everyone’s attention was focused on her in her confident tone without a single hesitation.
Raven only smiled vaguely what it meant, but didn’t dare open her mouth to refute it.
Rather, the person who opened his mouth as if he was a phantom thief was none other than the executioner, Evan.
“Why do you think so?”
“It can’t be.”
“Does that mean I’m wrong now?”
Sherlock did not give in to the subtle pressure that made his spine shiver. Rather, he shook his head as if it was too natural and gave an immediate answer.
“yes. That’s right.”
“Who are you in the first place? From the looks of it, I don’t think he’s a police officer at all.”
“I am a detective.”
“It’s just an ordinary person. How did you get here?”
The princess who was next to him answered him instead.
“I brought it in. Do you have any problem?”
“you are···.”
The executioner changed into a surprised expression after checking the princess’s face to see if there was a one-sided ceremony.
“okay. Then the detective girl. I’d like to hear why you think I’m wrong.”
“Rather, I want to ask. Why do you believe the phantom thief truly repented?”
Instead of answering, the reverse question came back, but Evan answered without hesitation.
“He gave me all the information I asked for. I’ve already given you all my identities, so why not believe me?”
“Are you sure that the identity is not false?”
“You’re a fortune teller. It’s not over if you just hold the horse’s tail like that and let it hang. I have already checked my ID.”
As the conversation continued, the flow seemed to pass over to the executioner.
Of course it had to be. Unlike Evan, Sherlock is just holding on to the tail of his horse and drooping, as he said, without any basis.
The princess, who was watching the situation then, stepped forward and said:
“With that said, it’s hard to believe that we just arrived in the end.”
“Doesn’t the princess also believe me?”
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to side with anyone, I just want to make the facts clear.”
When the princess first showed a conciliatory attitude, the executioner nodded and agreed.
“I know what you mean.”
“Thank you for understanding. then don’t do this Let me check it out by talking to the phantom thief alone.”
Gadget was embarrassed by the unexpected suggestion and stopped the princess.
“That is dangerous…!”
“If the phantom thief was really reincarnated as the author said, it wouldn’t even harm me. Isn’t it?”
The phantom thief answered Victoria’s dignified question.
“of course.”
“If that’s the case, you’ll accompany me as an escort, not just the two of us.”
“no. Isn’t that guy and you both arguing with a clear difference of opinion? In order to judge objectively, I need to confirm by myself, who is in a neutral position.”
Having said that, there was no reason to object anymore.
“Would you mind staying out for a moment? It won’t take long.”
In the end, at the request of the princess, the three of them left their seats as if they were being kicked out of the hallway.
Thanks to this, an awkward air flow continued in the corridor of the detached palace in the middle of the night.
I wanted to go back to where I was from, but I had no choice but to wait indefinitely because I never knew when the conversation would end.
Then Sherlock broke the silence and spoke first.
“Did you say you checked Raven’s ID earlier?”
“okay.”
“Then you must have seen my real name.”
The executioner looked at the girl for a moment, then murmured a little.
“Doyle LeBlanc. That is the real name of the phantom thief.”
“···Also.”
Sherlock exclaimed as if convinced when he heard the name and spoke calmly with his characteristic expressionless look.
“It’s fake.”
“What?”
“When I heard the name, it became clear. Raven gave you a fake identity.”
“It’s not even funny. I even checked the photo on my ID. It was the perfect ID, no doubt about it.”
The fight between the two of them started again.
The gadget stuck in the middle did not know what to do and was busy looking at the eyes of both sides.
Sherlock was the first to express his feelings explicitly.
It was a ridicule, a ridicule.
“Then should I bet?”
“. No matter how much you are protected by the princess, there is a line you must not cross.”
Evan’s words were cut off without being able to finish them.
It was because of the noise he heard from inside the room while the nerve war was at its climax.
“Hey!!”
As soon as they realized who the scream was, the three of you, both of you, immediately ran into the room.
The scenery unfolding there was truly shocking.
Because the phantom thief who drew the king’s sword was holding the princess hostage with that sword.
Evan, who immediately understood the situation, exclaimed in indignation.
“Doyle!! Did you deceive me!?”
“no. It’s not cheating. I just forgot and didn’t say anything.”
“Put down your sword now. That’s not the way you’re supposed to go!”
Even while saying that, Evan was drawing a magic circle. Already in his heart, the passion to correct the phantom thief was cooling off.
Perhaps he noticed that fact like a ghost, Raven raised his blade and warned him.
“I don’t know what will happen to the princess if I do even the slightest bit of nonsense.”
Naturally, anyone who heard such a bloody threat had no choice but to hesitate.
Because the person who was now held hostage was the only princess in this country and no one else.
Sherlock frowned and questioned.
“I didn’t know you could use this method.”
“this. Don’t be too disappointed. After all, this is all just a show.”
“·················ogue.”
“I have no desire to kill the pretty princess either. As long as you send it back safely, nothing will happen. Of course, I will take this sword with me.”
Evan clicked his tongue slightly and turned off the magic circle.
Of course, considering the overwhelming difference in ability, it might be enough to subdue it.
However, the risk of failing at least one of them is too great.
Even if the black hair is ripped off, it is enough to retrieve it later.
On the other hand, the princess’s life has an invaluable value compared to anything else in this country.
It was best to meekly listen to his request here.
Raven moved to the window while holding the princess. After running away through that window, there was no way for Evan to do anything after that.
The phantom thief was already convinced of his own success, so a relaxed smile spread across his lips.
“I just said it, but I really didn’t mean to cheat.”
“The next time we meet, it would be better not to get caught by me.”
“I just forgot and didn’t say anything. It was a great honor to offer to teach me.”
Take off your hat and say your final goodbyes.
“But there is no tuition fee. Learning comes later. Then everyone!”
Raven jumps out of the window while releasing the princess.
The three of them immediately ran and supported the princess.
Fortunately, Victoria was taken hostage, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.
“sorry···. I guess I was too careless.”
“no. I’m glad you’re safe.”
Sherlock stared blankly at the wide open window that the phantom thief had left, and was lost in thought.
‘It’s all just a show…’
I pondered the words I heard earlier for a long time.
The girl’s gaze quickly turned to the staggering princess.
***
“great. Finally, there are only two left.”
She scratched her head at the excited voice of the princess.
“I was quite surprised that you would suggest that we talk alone.”
“Fufu. Why? Were you expecting a sweet secret meeting with me?”
[of course. Don’t expect it.]
‘Don’t take my answer. And you didn’t expect it?’
I’m always worried about whether this pervert goddess might be okay.
Princess Victoria approached this way lightly and asked openly.
“Are you sure?”
“What do you mean?”
“Are you really going to repent and become an executioner?”
I smiled and shrugged.
That’s of course…
“no. Would you say I’m crazy?”
