Chapter 150.2 – Phantom Thief (2)



Chapter 150.2 – Phantom Thief (2)

I changed the ‘corrupt rich man’ part into a ‘corrupt and wealthy woman’ because the victim was actually a woman. And I promised yesterday that I’d post 151 today, but I didn’t expect it to be that long, so I had to push it back for tomorrow. Sorry.

Terms used in this chapter:

I thank Selene for allowing me to be a righteous thief again – This is a reference to the Japanese series, Saint Tail. Saint Tail’s original line was ‘Lord, please allow me to be a righteous thief again today.’

And Cordelia’s Pink Bomb outfit is totally based on Saint Tail’s outfit.

At night two days later.

In the mansion of Viscountess Venus who was known for being a wealthy and corrupt woman.

Despite it being midnight, countless people gathered around her house which ran a loan-sharking business.

Around one third of those were guards from the royal capital, while the other two thirds were spectators.

“Is it true? Did she really appear?”

“It’s true!”

“Look! It’s an explosion again!”

Boooom!

The windows loudly broke and pink smoke spread around.

And inside the mansion.

Beyond the door where the pink dynamite exploded.

“How dare you!”

Cordelia narrowed her eyes at the thunderous cry of Viscountess Venus, a lady wearing a black combat uniform.

Viscountess Venus held a dagger while four mercenaries took up their weapons.

But the biggest problem was Venus’ vault which resembled the huge and solid vaults of banks.

“Ha! Do you understand now? It’s no exaggeration to say that the whole room is a safe! You won’t be able to open the safe even if you’re the real Rogue Master!”

It made sense.

It was a safe that she could be confident in.

It was a safe that seemed like it would take a considerable amount of time to open using straightforward methods.

“Of course, you won’t even be able to open it in the first place!”

The four mercenaries who accompanied Viscountess Venus herself were not ordinary ones.

They were brutal and powerful warriors who earned the nickname of ‘Four Swords’ in the underworld of the royal capital.

“Get her!”

The four mercenaries moved almost simultaneously at the cry of Viscountess Venus.

And Cordelia also moved. She threw dynamite from both of her hands and induced an explosion by firing magic at the same time.

Baaaang!

It was loud and the explosive power itself was weak, but it was a kind of smoke bomb that filled the room with pink smoke.

“I can’t see!”

“Cough! Cough!”

People would usually stop moving if their vision was obstructed.

Cordelia ran towards the vault door while the mercenaries coughed from breathing in the smoke.

“Crazy bi-?”

Viscountess Venus barely opened her eyes and swore at the appearance of Cordelia that would soon crash into the door.

I thought that she was quite a good thief, but was she just a crazy b*tch?

But she was wrong.

Just before the collision.

No, at the moment when Cordelia and the door collided!

‘Fairy Steps!’

The space of the fairies and reality overlapped. Cordelia turned translucent in an instant and passed through the vault.

“Wow.”

Having passed through the vault door, Cordelia let out a voice of admiration as she stroked the ring they received from the Fall Fairy Queen.

The Fairy Steps were originally for evasion, but they didn’t need to just use it for evasion since they could use it in other ways.

‘One more use.’

The number of uses increased because of their repeated level-ups, so the Fairy Steps could now be used twice a day.

It could be perfectly used once for getting in and the other for going out.

‘Here it is.’

The Green Goddess’ Teardrop.

A beautiful gem that shined on its own even in the dark.

With an ecstatic face, Cordelia stared at the gem which was the size of two fingers together and was very large for a gem. She eventually shook her head and came to her senses. Because now wasn’t the time to be admiring the gem.

‘Get the gem and leave the card.’

After her series of actions, Cordelia threw herself towards the wall whose opposite side faced outside.

Shwaaa-

She used the Fairy Steps again.

She jumped into the outer wall and found herself in the air, but it wasn’t a problem.

‘Angel Mode!’

Cordelia spread her wings of light and flew as she headed straight to the roof of the mansion, and cheers erupted again among the spectators.

“It’s real! It’s real!”

“The Rogue Master really walked in the sky!”

Spreading her angel wings allowed her to move freely in the air.

As Cordelia climbed onto the roof, not only the spectators but also the guards of Viscountess Venus focused on one place.

Everyone’s eyes.

All eyes focused on one place.

‘W-what should I do? I’m getting addicted to this.’

What is this strange yet pleasant feeling?

Cordelia unknowingly smiled and took out the Green Goddess’ Teardrop for everyone to see instead of saying anything, and the spectator’s cheers burst out again at that moment.

“It’s the real one! The real one!”

“The Green Goddess’ Teardrop!”

They had obviously never seen the Green Goddess’ Teardrop properly, but they knew it was a big green gem anyway.

“What are you doing?! Get her! No! Shoot her!”

“To the roof!”

The guards responded to Venus’ cry and hurriedly moved, and some even shot at Cordelia with their crossbows.

But it was at that moment. A black wind suddenly swept away all the arrows that headed for Cordelia.

It was the wind caused by the kick of Jude, who was hiding in a blind spot.

[Let’s go!]

[Okay!]

Cordelia communicated with magic before putting away the Green Goddess’ Teardrop and taking out a new big gem.

The Moon Crystal.

The Rogue Master’s last treasure!

“I thank Selene for allowing me to be a righteous thief.”

Cordelia smiled and gracefully said before she bowed to the audience like a magician and then raised the Moon Crystal high.

“In Selene’s name.”

The goddess of the moon who watched over everyone.

It was at the moment when Cordelia injected her mana into the Moon Crystal.

The strong moonlight fell from the sky and shone on Cordelia. Because of the moonlight that acted like a spotlight, Cordelia’s impressive appearance was further imprinted in the minds of everyone.

A very bright pink hair and black leather clothes that revealed her nice figure. And cute rabbit ears and tail.

A few seconds passed.

The moonlight that was like a spotlight gradually became smaller before it disappeared, and so did Cordelia.

She disappeared with the moonlight.

“Rogue Master!”

“Woaaaah!”

This was the power of the Moon Crystal, the last treasure of the Rogue Master.

‘You can leap in space three times a day in any place where the moonlight shines.’

A simple yet powerful ability.

It was the reason why the Rogue Master had never been caught in the act despite her numerous thefts.

“How was it? Did you think it went well?”

“You were the best, really the best. It really went well.”

At the second floor of Adelia’s mansion.

Adelia had fallen into a deep sleep because of a hard day’s work, so Jude and Cordelia had gone out and in without being noticed, and the two burst into laughter while facing each other.

“This is so pretty.”

The Green Goddess’ Teardrop.

There was a legend that the gem was made from the teardrop of a beautiful and gentle goddess, but for some mysterious reason, those who possessed it would obtain the blessing of the war god.

‘If a real warrior has it in their possession, this excellent item will increase their stats just by having it.’

It was not an absolute increase in value but an increase in percentage.

“Haa, it’s so exciting. It’s more fun than I had thought.”

“Weren’t you excited in throwing bombs?”

“There’s that too.”

Cordelia giggled as she took off her mask and untied her hair that had been tied together.

The sight of her very bright pink hair turning back into reddish pink in an instant was very beautiful and mysterious.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because you’re so pretty.”

“W-what are you saying?”

Embarrassed with Jude’s straightforward compliment, Cordelia said in a hurry.

“Anyway, the news will spread throughout the royal capital by tomorrow, right?”

“The Rogue Master is back. The Rogue Master has returned.”

“Hehe, I’m excited.”

Cordelia brightly smiled and closed her eyes as she imagined it.

A beautiful and strong Rogue Master.

A righteous thief who appeared and disappeared like a ghost.

‘Actually, it’s kind of funny for a thief to be speaking of righteousness.’

But she didn’t care about that.

Cordelia opened her eyes again and looked forward to tomorrow with a happy face.

And the next morning.

“Hey! What is this?! What is this!”

“Umm…was it a problem with pink hair? Or that the color of the dynamite was pink…”

“Aaah, so annoying!”

The front page of the newspaper which they had bought in the streets at morning contained articles about the Rogue Master as they had expected.

Jude and Cordelia succeeded in informing the entire royal capital of the Rogue Master’s return as they had expected.

But there was one minor problem.

PHANTOM THIEF PINK BOMB APPEARS

PHANTOM THIEF PINK BOMB, IS SHE REALLY A ROGUE MASTER?

PHANTOM THIEF PINK BOMB’S BRILLIANT DEBUT

That name was mentioned much more often than the Rogue Master wherever they looked.

‘Well, as I had planned.’

Frankly speaking, if the names Pink Bomb and Rogue Master were written side by side, the former would most likely stand out.

‘Now, Velkian will soon know of it.’

The Phantom Thief Pink Bomb name.

Jude grinned while the annoyed Cordelia cursed for some time as she seriously cut out the articles with her scissors to keep them as newspaper clippings.

And on the night two days later.

Jude and Cordelia began their next move.
