chapter 9
escape show
It was a desperate moment.
He must have figured out the trick in one day and was hiding in the sewer.
If I made a mistake, the phantom thief Raven’s campaign would have come to an end in vain.
But the goddess of fortune seems to be on my side.
I was drawn to the noise of blank bullets that my detective sister had fired as a warning, and the amazing Crocodile Brother appeared.
A crocodile monster is chasing you right behind your back, and you can’t keep it under control.
Taking advantage of the gap in which the muzzle had disappeared from his head, he quickly attempted to escape in the opposite direction.
“Ugh! at there!”
bang!!
“woah. It’s dangerous.”
Was it live ammunition that you just shot? Would you rather kill me than to miss it?
Even if you pretend to be relaxed on the outside, you are trying to stop sweating. It’s really dangerous.
Still, our crocodile brother was reassuring. There’s no way you can easily shake off such a huge monster.
“Kweek!!”
“shit! What is this monster!?”
bang! bang!
Even with hard leather, the damage of the gun could not be ignored. A crocodile monster whose movements were slowed by the sting of bullets.
A little more power!
Buy me time to run away!
“Where!”
bang!
He swallowed his saliva at the bullet marks under his feet.
This dude’s shooting skills are pretty good.
At this rate, it seemed difficult to escape despite Crocodile’s support.
If so, you have no choice but to take a little risk and try.
“Everyone, be careful. It’s night from now on.”
“What?”
breakage.
Toss the card upwards to break the lamp that lit the dark sewer.
In an instant, the underworld was shrouded in complete darkness. The perfect night has come.
Thanks to this, everyone in this place was unable to move hastily.
As far as I know, crocodiles are probably drivable, so aren’t they in trouble?
In a situation like this, there is no choice but to benefit me, who is in the situation of escaping in the end.
Besides, it’s because the night was my main stage.
[It’s a pretty good channel.]
Through the power of the Goddess, he quickly regained his sight even in the dark.
great. As expected, everyone is impatient with the sudden darkness.
Now is the perfect opportunity. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to put the necklace back in place.
Well, what’s better than being caught?
He tried to sneak out between the police sister and the crocodile.
If you look closely, you are also very beautiful. Is it a character from the original?
[Are you trying to reveal your feelings even in this situation?]
‘No!’
“Ugh! Raven! Where are you!? Don’t be cowardly and come out!”
“Wow!!”
There’s no way it’s going to come out like that. On the contrary, the roaring roaring wind had only stimulated the crocodile.
‘great! Now, if you just run away…!’
Then a question crossed my mind.
Why are there only two?
“I won’t let you run away.”
creepy. Goosebumps rose at the girl’s dry voice.
The bright green eyes that appeared right next to me were staring straight at me.
Did you pinpoint my position in this darkness? how?
shudder.
It was a dark silhouette, but it was clearly visible. In her hand was a pistol.
You’re not even a police officer, so why are you holding such a heinous thing!
I was terrified and hurriedly used my magic. I almost left for the Nether Road after being looked down on as an ordinary person.
What about light if darkness doesn’t work?
He drew a card and handed it to her. Then, a powerful flash of light erupted from the front, filling the surroundings with light.
It’s snowball!
How does it taste?
However, the magic performance was much better than I thought. It was just beyond my eyes, and the whole sewer was dyed pure white.
“ね!”
“Queek!!”
Thanks to that, even the female detective and the crocodile, who were a little far away, were hit by the snow. I didn’t mean to aim for that, but I’m sorry for nothing.
Anyway, of course, the scary obsessive girl must have been blind too, so she tried to run away in a hurry to take advantage of this gap.
“I would have told you not to let me go.”
“Hey!”
This time, I was really surprised and almost screamed.
No, I like my eyes, so I can see well even in the dark. Does it make sense to follow him without getting hit from the front?
“I’m sorry, but I have an urgent business…!”
Another card is drawn and this time tossed on the floor. A cloud of smoke that rises instantly. I even opened a smoke screen in this darkness, can you even break through this?
“Never go.”
pierce this It was enough to stick his tongue out in his obsessive obsession.
[It seems that I am firmly attached to you.]
‘It seems so. It’s totally different from the feeling I want.’
I want a little more pure and platonic pure love.
This shaky Yandere obsession is a spec!
He didn’t know what it was, but it seemed that he couldn’t get away from her simply by blocking his view. If that’s the case, use another method.
He took a red handkerchief from his pocket and threw it away. Then, the handkerchief flapped like a bird and flew away and stuck to the girl’s arms.
“👌👌👌 This···!”
The guy was really squeamish and annoyed his opponent. In particular, it is impossible for a girl to aim properly as she runs wildly in the hand holding the gun.
I glanced at him and said goodbye.
“He’s a pretty nice guy, so please take care of him!”
“Raven! at there!”
“Oh right. Come to think of it, it seems a bit unfair that only you know my name. What is your name?”
Escape is certain. Taking a moment to relax, I asked the person’s name.
She is an adversary worthy of attention.
okay. In other words, it was like a rival.
Emerald eyes staring at me as if displeased while playing hard with the handkerchief.
It’s a pity that it’s so dark that I can’t properly identify faces. Of course, I did create this situation.
“Sherlock.”
“···indeed.”
Did the name appear in the original? If you look at what doesn’t come to mind right away, even if it did, it wouldn’t have mattered much.
But apart from that, it’s definitely a very scary name.
Especially for a thief like me.
“Then see you next time. Detective girl.”
Now there was no regret. I shouted as I ran towards the entrance of the sewer downstairs.
“Oh yeah! Please return the necklace for me. Please!”
“necklace···?”
A murmur of a curious tone.
You’ve probably found it by now. Because I put a present inside the handkerchief.
It was unsuccessful to put it back in its place, but a great detective girl would surely return it to the museum instead of me.
‘It’s amazing by the way.’
[Are you sure you feel it?]
‘yes. Do you want to collect the next jewel as well?’
It was clearly felt that he had grown as he absorbed the gem. A huge range of eyes and delicately moving handkerchiefs.
The magical ability that was thought to be ambiguous is gradually changing for the better.
The more gems you collect, the stronger your abilities will be. Just thinking about it already made my heart pound.
In addition, a rival appeared without being bored.
It was really dangerous if luck hadn’t followed.
If the crocodile monster hadn’t been nearby, I would have been arrested.
‘I’ll have to be a little more careful in the future.’
[Well. I have a feeling that that child is going to be involved often.]
it was sympathy
The rivalry between detectives and phantom thieves is fundamental.
“Shall I change my name to Lupin too?”
[What. That sleazy name.]
“Apologize to Lupin fans around the world.”

<Phantom Thief Raven! Robbing the National Museum of Britannia!>
<The sea where angels stayed. The estimated value given by experts is…>
“Incompetent police? Unfortunately I missed it right in front of Phantom Thief Raven.>
<The recovered sapphire necklace. Was it really the phantom thief’s intention?>
“The news these days is really interesting.”
[Yeah, I guess it’s because I’m only talking about you all the time]
As the Goddess said
When the museum was successfully robbed, the reaction was different from before.
Word of mouth, which was widely known, increased its size at once, revealing an overwhelming presence.
I was already talking about my name in the Britannia Empire.
Whether I went to the academy, to the cafe, or even to the bathroom, I heard the conversation all about the phantom thief Raven.
In the newspapers and on the radio, expert opinions about my activities flowed 24 hours a day.
The police department officially bowed their heads to apologize for missing the phantom thief.
It was a little burdensome, but more than that, I was excited and excited.
Was I this interested? To be honest, if anyone gets this kind of attention, I wouldn’t be as depraved as I am.
Of course, many of the responses were full of negative content.
In particular, Britannia hated me more than most vicious criminals and poured out slander.
On the contrary, the positive content also gradually increased.
Some extreme people praised me as an idol like a celebrity.
Some called it a righteous enemy who robbed the gold accumulated by the greedy empire and the wealthy and distributed it to the common people.
In the midst of such a confrontation with the phantom thief Raven, it is reaching its extreme.
Now, as an academy extra, I was studying hard.
“Today, I will give you a group assignment.”
“···uh?”
Wait a minute.
This is a pretty big ordeal for an extra.
