Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief chapter 77

long-legged supporter

It’s peaceful.

For the past few days, a quiet daily life has been repeated without any incidents.

After concentrating hard on the academy class and having a study group after finishing it, the day is almost over.

Gaji took a brief break while absorbing the power of the jewel, but in fact, it was enough to involuntarily think that such a life was not bad.

[Do you want to quit the phantom thief?]

“no. That’s not it.”

Of course, he is also satisfied with his phantom thief activities.

Of course, small happiness like now is good, but without exhilarating stimulation, it seems like it will quickly become boring.

“Did you say absorption ends tonight?”

[Well. It’s almost full already.]

At first, it was a bit daunting, but it feels like it’s done right away.

As I said earlier that it was peaceful, nothing special happened in between.

On the contrary, it is so peaceful that I feel a little anxious.

Sharon also has not received any special response after applying for the scholarship, and the media is completely silent. At this point, I even feel like I’m deliberately avoiding mentioning the phantom thief.

Will it continue like this in the future?

Am I just trying to quietly handle my actions without disclosing them to the outside world?

In fact, it is unusual to be so quiet after robbing the palace and taking the princess hostage.

“Hmm···.”

That’s not good.

Of course, it doesn’t necessarily have to be known to people, but isn’t that the only reason why romance isn’t enough?

Because any phantom thief must stand in the spotlight in front of everyone.

[Are you going to rest today?]

“I took a long break from activities. Shall we go out after a long time?”

[Of course, it is me, welcome.]

Actually, there were no special plans. The absorption is not completely finished yet.

So, I’m going to go out lightly with the feeling of just taking a walk.

“Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t been paying attention to the management of the foundation these days.”

Even though it is a ghost foundation for smoke screens, I don’t want to leave it unattended.

Wasn’t the reason the foundation was initially established to donate in a legal way?

After working hard to make it, I haven’t done any other activities since sponsoring the orphanage. Isn’t it too expensive to use it only as a means to help a friend?

In that sense, the preferred destination was the Foundation office.

I opened the door and went inside and sat down at the desk.

“Hmm. Shall we find a new sponsoring organization?”

There’s enough money.

Because the jewels I stole cost more than I imagined.

If it hadn’t been for that in the first place, the state wouldn’t have even tried to catch me with such an effort.

[Rather than increasing indiscriminately, how about helping one place with certainty?]

“Well···. I’m sure that would be fine.”

Except for Rachel, the only target I am currently sponsoring is an orphanage.

As the Goddess said, it would be okay to focus on one thing, but then it could be overpaid.

“I’ve already given you a lot, do you really need to give more?”

The orphanage had a history of losing money to the National Tax Service once, so it was deliberately given more. I’m not joking, it takes half a year to spend all the money I gave you.

Paying too much money doesn’t solve everything. If done wrong, there is a possibility that the money will not be spent where it is needed and will be swayed by personal greed. For anything, the right balance is the most important law.

[Do you really need to give me money?]

“yes? So what do you do? Can you even fly briquettes?”

[Why don’t you just give a bag of money and present a vision for orphans?]

“vision···?”

Hmm. It sounds pretty plausible, right?

I roughly understood what it meant. I guess there are times when it’s better to teach someone how to fish than to give a fish to a hungry person.

Can orphans have a better life simply by giving them money?

Perhaps what they desperately need is opportunity rather than money.

But it won’t be easy.

Giving a specific vision means that I have to make my own way.

To help you attend school, you must first connect with the school.

Even if you want to be able to get a job in a decent job, you must have a connection to connect the job.

“It would be fun.”

It’s like playing a nurturing game.

Certainly, if the system is implemented well, it will be much more effective than just giving money.

Don’t be too hasty, take it slowly.

Out of all the excitement, if I had to pick one thing I didn’t like.

The only reason for this was that there were so many more reasons to disguise himself as Lupin.

‘Something is strange.’

It had been a few days before the girl noticed a sense of incongruity.

To be precise, was it after a very suspicious man stopped by the orphanage?

The first thing that changed was the food.

In the past, at best, hardened shards of bread and porridge with sparsely visible ingredients were all.

But what about now? Breads with a soft texture full of savory flavor, juicy meat soup, and even sweet desserts appeared.

It doesn’t end there.

The next thing that changed after food was the children’s attire. One day, the old director came back to the orphanage with a box on his back.

Inside the box are neat and pretty clothes that I have never seen before.

There was even a dress that was so bright that the girl couldn’t take her eyes off it.

From that day on, the children who had always been tangled up became remarkably neat. It was easy enough to understand why clothes were called wings.

The last change was the orphanage itself.

At first, it was replaced with a new one from the rubbish that I wanted to be like that, and later, the large furniture started to be replaced one by one.

That night the girl lay on her new bunk bed and pondered.

I guess something is strange.

It was only natural to think that way, as the entire food, clothing and shelter that made up the girl’s life had changed.

The starting point of this change was also the tall man.

‘Did you give money to the manager? why?’

I couldn’t understand.

Even at a young age, the girl knows roughly how important money is.

So, I know how stupid it is to give it to someone unconditionally.

‘Come to think of it, someone has come in and out before.’

Men in black suits. The director called them ‘high people’.

Whenever they came to the orphanage, the director’s expression darkened.

I watched vividly as he bent his crooked waist and tried to satisfy his stomach.

What’s the connection between the two?

There was too little information for the girl to reason and give an answer.

Above all, I knew very little about the man.

The only thing he knew was the name he heard standing in front of him.

“Arsene Lupin.”

The girl who muttered the man’s name softly made a decision.

If I ever see him again, then I will surely uncover his identity.

However, despite the girl’s determination, the man did not appear again after that.

I thought I’d come back in a few days, but the news is unconvincing.

In the end, the girl hesitated for a while, then ran to the director and even asked.

The answer returned was different from what I expected.

“You mean that person? Well. I don’t know either.”

“Do you still want to come back?”

“Don’t expect too much. It is more difficult to maintain the desire to help others than to have it once.”

It was still difficult for a young girl to fully understand the meaning, but she understood clearly that it was not the answer she wanted.

The girl was disappointed.

One night and two nights passed, and in the end, the girl, tired of waiting, gave up.

To meet him again, who suddenly appeared and completely changed his life.

And the next day.

In everyday life as usual.

The girl was arguing with a boy her age from the same background as usual.

“You’re harassing Patrasche again! I told you not to!”

“huh. What do you care? Stop worrying and do what you have to do.”

“Aren’t you sorry for him?”

Two children arguing over a puppy raised in the orphanage’s yard.

Because the other people were the same scenery as usual, it was easy to just glance at them and draw attention, but the girl who was involved was so angry that she even burst into tears.

Why is this guy so anxious that he can’t bully a cute puppy?

He was a very naughty guy who even bullied not only the dog but also the girls, including himself.

“I’m not sorry at all. Because I never bothered you in the first place.”

“You are funny! I’ve seen all of you try to force Patrasche with dirt!”

“Then you eat instead.”

“What? Did you say everything!?”

A girl who can’t contain her excitement and rushes forward.

In the end, it didn’t end with a fight, but it was about to escalate into a physical fight.

Suddenly, a shadow fell from behind, blocking the two of them.

“Enough, both of you, calm down.”

A low-pitched voice with a sense of relaxation.

The girl immediately turned back and looked up at the other person’s face and blinked.

finally.
