Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

casino

When I got home, I removed my makeup and changed into a phantom thief costume.

“Now, I have a little life.”

[The makeup look is cool too, but I think it suits you best now.]

“is that so?”

Actually, I like the romantic phantom thief much more than the middle-aged philanthropist.

Anyway, I finished all my work for the day.

From now on, it was his turn to engage in night activities as a phantom thief.

As time passed and experience was accumulated, the process also changed systematically.

What is the first step?

That’s goal setting. Deciding where to go and what to steal is the most important start.

There was no need to worry about this this time. Because what you need to steal to do the copycat’s favor has already been decided.

It was the best situation since the Goddess’ power also resided in the target.

The second step is to research your goals and design tricks.

It was the stage of devising a trick after carefully examining the target and surroundings on how to steal.

“Let’s go outside first.”

Of course, at this stage, you need to go around and check it out yourself.

The job of a phantom thief was not an easy one. There are so many things to be concerned about even stealing one thing.

[It’s nice that the weather is cool.]

Goddess who is satisfied with the refreshing night breeze.

It looks like he is enjoying everything he enjoys while in the cane.

flutter.

It flew through the sky through magic and moved to its destination at high speed.

Originally, I had never dreamed of using such advanced magic. However, he gradually absorbed the power of the gem and his abilities grew, so he was able to use flying magic like this now.

Of course, you still have to suffer a considerable amount of mana consumption. Where can I use it anyway?

“I have arrived.”

He landed on the roof of the building and looked straight ahead.

Flashing lights and thumping sounds. A noisy atmosphere that can be felt even from the other side.

Too noisy for midnight, this place was just a large casino.

[What do you plan to do?]

“Well···.”

You can’t go in openly dressed like this now.

It’s at the level of proudly advertising ‘I’m Raven the Phantom Thief’.

It’s right to sneak in. There are two main ways to go in, avoiding people’s eyes at all, or entering naturally by pretending to be a guest through disguise.

No matter which method you choose, there are reasons and pros and cons.

So, I decided to take care of the romance and chose the latter.

In such a case, it is a rule of thumb to pretend to be a guest and enter the country.

In addition, it was a perfect situation to use the identity of ‘Arsene Lupin’ that I made today.

“It’s a bit annoying to have to redo the makeup, but…”

Art is always accompanied by pain.

I was willing to accept the slight inconvenience.

“Hmmm.”

After finishing the makeup, he looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

This time it’s perfect. Transformed into a middle-aged gentleman in an instant, I confidently walked into the casino’s front door with a cane.

A guard who sees me coming and bows his head politely.

“welcome. Guest.”

“Thank you for the welcome.”

I also didn’t seem to find any sense of incongruity in my makeup. In addition, since I purposely disguised myself as an old-fashioned impression as possible, visiting such a high-end casino must have seemed very natural.

We entered the casino building through the main entrance opened by the guard.

‘Wow···. That’s crazy.’

A heartfelt exclamation.

The landscape of the casino was overwhelming to the extent that such a reaction was natural.

A world full of luxury and pleasure. It was like spreading human greed throughout the space. The whole area was dyed with gold, and guests from all over the world gave the impression of being completely cut off from the outside world.

In fact, while conducting a simple preliminary research, I found out that there are places that are even worse than this.

In the beginning, anyone was free to enter and exit here.

The guards at the front door only checked the dress code and ID, and there were very few cases of stopping guests from entering. It is a playground for the middle and upper classes with a little money.

There are very few top-class people in the real country here. A casino that only the chosen ones can enjoy can only be entered with an invitation or letter of recommendation.

Maybe one day I will go into such a place.

Whether it’s to steal something like you do now, or if you’re really qualified.

Rather than that, now is the time to focus on research.

I pretended to be a guest and started walking around the casino naturally.

And someone spoke to me.

***

“haha. I think I won this time too.”

What is the basis of a casino?

They offer a variety of events and entertainment to attract guests, but in the end, the fundamentals of the casino were, of course, gambling.

Especially, gambling with people is a game for gamers who can show their luck and skills to the fullest.

In that sense, a woman bets on a poker game to test her luck today as well, and as a result, she lost horribly.

The woman couldn’t hold her head and threw her face on the table.

“Ahh!! I could get it! This time it was a real difference!!”

“haha. Of course you will. So are you planning on doing more?”

“Okay. Now the remaining chips…”

The chips on his table had long since evaporated.

I’m sure I’ve loaded up enough bullets today, but how long have you been in the casino and have already used it up?

The man opposite the woman gave a sympathetic laugh as he saw the woman’s reaction.

“Hey. If you don’t have money, go back and take care of household chores. A wife who is addicted to gambling, that is terrible.”

“Who do you dare look at as an aunt? She’s still a pretty girl.”

“It’s even worse. Maybe there is a man who wants to marry you.”

The woman could not stand the opponent’s ignorance even as she sharpened her teeth.

In the end, if he hadn’t been defeated, he wouldn’t have been ridiculed like that.

In any case, the game cannot continue without chips. If it had been the same, I would have stood up in agreement with the result, but today, I am deeply regretful.

I wanted to press the big nose of that cheeky man. If he really only had one more chip to play, the goddess of victory would surely kiss him this time.

“Slowly move on to start the next game.”

“If you don’t have a stake, don’t interfere and get out of the way.”

It wasn’t just the two of them at the table. Eventually, in the eyes of others, she stood up with a lukewarm attitude.

In the end, I have no choice but to leave like this. As the woman glanced at the table with regretful eyes, the dealer, who caught it, smiled and spoke kindly.

“If you don’t have a chip, a small loan…”

“Hey! That’s Okay!”

A woman who is afraid to speak and refuses.

He knew better than anyone how notorious casino loans are, so that was an extreme specification.

Rather than get a loan from the casino, I’d rather borrow from another customer.

‘···for a moment. Is it better than I thought?’

The woman completely blinded by gambling has reached a point where she feels that the absurd plan is more plausible than she thought.

She started acting right away with needlessly good execution skills.

“What? it’s crazy?”

“Don’t be silly and get out of here.”

“Go home quietly. It’s this lady.”

Naturally, the response that came back was cold.

‘Why do you keep calling me Ajumma!’

At the end, she cursed the man who mistreated her and wandered around the casino.

Then I found a man who had just entered the entrance.

A look that exudes dignity in neat attire.

Even in a single walking motion, there was no gap at all and it felt full of dignity.

A woman with a decent profession as a doctor could recognize it at a glance because she had dealt with quite a few customers.

That the gentleman was the money box he had been looking for so much.

Worries are short and actions are swift.

As soon as the woman reached her conclusion, she immediately strode towards the man.

The opponent quickly noticed her approaching and stared at her silently.

As I got closer, a heavy feeling of intimidation, which I had not felt from afar, subtly pressed down on me.

She swallowed one saliva and then spoke.

“hello. wonderful gentleman. What’s your name…”

“I’m sorry, but let someone else find out.”

The woman who was rejected before even bringing up the main topic asked with a puzzled expression.

“···yes? I know what you’re talking about…”

“I saw you when you came in. Seeing you begging here and there.”

“·················ogue.”

Did you see everyone on that street?

what kind of crow The woman, who was so absurd, sighed, gave up neatly and waved her hand.

“okay. Got it! If I snoop on the casino one more time in the future, I’m not a human!”

“You seem to have lost all your money.”

“Then what are you going to do? You want me to get my lost money back? You know how easy it is!”

A woman who tells the truth to a person she has never met.

The man looked at it with interest and spit it out casually.

“Isn’t it easy to win money at gambling?”

“···under! It was the funniest joke I’ve ever heard. If you are so confident, give it a try!”

Then, surprisingly, the man nodded his head.

“I came to the casino with a lot of effort, so it would be okay to enjoy it for a while.”
