“In conclusion, although I really want to help you, but…”
“I know, let's steal Alice's necklace first.”
“Is that okay?”
“I can't let such a dangerous thing exist near my thief团 companions! Besides, recovering artifacts is also my job. But after Alice's artifact is recovered, Zun Zun, you have to help me recover another artifact.”
“No problem.”
The two quickly reached an agreement.
Just as they were about to discuss how to break into the palace and steal the necklace, Baluta used some tracking skill and chased after them again.
“There's no way, I'll look for you again tonight. Zun Zun, you should be living in Eldap's villa now, I plan to take a stroll there tonight. Don't close your room's window, and put a pot of tulips there.”
“Okay, but Kazu will be patrolling at night… Wait, wait, Chris!”
Before Zun Zun could finish speaking, Chris slipped away.
Her speed was so fast that one couldn't help but wonder if she had the same blessing as Felt.
Afterwards, he returned to the villa with Baluta.
He gave the two pairs of identical earrings he bought to Yoyo and Huihui, and both of them showed happy smiles.
“I will treasure it for the rest of my life, thank you, Zun Zun.”
“No, no, no, you should put them on.”
Yoyo's eyes were filled with tears of emotion.
Huihui didn't have the idea of treasuring them. After putting them on, she showed off to Aqua and Darkness, and then ran back to her room to write letters to Yugoukai and the others to show off. She couldn't wait to show off her smug face.
Then, Zun Zun asked the maid to help move a pot of tulips to his room, but she brought two pots.
“No, one pot is enough.”
Remembering the experience in the Red Demon Village, when the tulips ran out due to the rain, Zun Zun and the others were in a hurry to catch the plants, it was really bad. So he strongly requested that Aqua not enter his room unless she had something to do.
But that idiot said:
“Could it be that Zun Zun, you can't help but want to lu——”
“Shut up!”
Before she could finish speaking, she was slapped hard on the head.
At night.
Zun Zun heard a noisy sound outside the room while he was half asleep. He thought Chris had come, but when Yoyo woke him up and rushed him to the kitchen, he saw Kazuma Sato tied up tightly.
“Hey…”
“Kazuma, did you get hit by a restraint skill! What happened to the intruder?”
“Unfortunately, it was just a little bit, but he still escaped!”
Kazuma Sato, who was tied up with ropes, pretended to be unwilling and declared this. Then he said that the thief was a man wearing a strange mask and was a terrible master, possibly even more powerful than the Demon King's executives. Zun Zun had already guessed that he was talking nonsense.
Looking around, he saw the tulips placed on the kitchen balcony.
Well, he roughly guessed what happened.
The other pot of tulips must have been placed here by the maid, causing Chris to think that the kitchen was Zun Zun's room. After sneaking in, she happened to be seen by Kazuma Sato, and then such and such things happened…
Zun Zun looked at Kazuma Sato, who was being humiliated and screamed by Darkness sitting on him, and snorted contemptuously.
The next day.
Zun Zun and the others came to the palace again.
Because of the incident of encountering a thief but letting him go, Claire, who was very angry, said that she must severely punish the exaggerated Kazuma Sato, but in the end, she let it go for the sake of Alice's plea.
Afterwards, Aqua said that she wanted to buy some souvenirs on the street, and left with Kazuma Sato.
Darkness went back to prepare for leaving the royal capital.
Huihui wanted to fire one last explosion magic outside the royal capital, and Yoyo went with her.
As for Zun Zun…
“Chris, I've been looking for you for a long time.”
“Zun Zun!?”
He found Chris drinking alone in a small tavern in the royal capital. When she saw Zun Zun, Chris's expression changed and she looked very curious.
“How did you find me?”
“With this.”
Zun Zun hooked his finger.
A small green ball of light emerged from her body.
This was a small trick that Julius once used on Natsuki Subaru, allowing his own elves to attach to others. In addition to providing protection, it also had the effect of tracking.
Chris touched the light ball lightly with her finger, even more curious, “When did you leave this little guy on me? I didn't even know.”
“Before we separated yesterday afternoon.”
At that time, Chris didn't listen to people finish speaking at all and hurried away.
But he didn't expect that she couldn't find out.
You know, even the idiot goddess Aqua can feel the existence of elves. Chris is the incarnation of Eris, shouldn't she… I understand, it must be because of the prosthesis, it's not as sensitive as the main body.
The light ball re-entered Zun Zun's body.
“Let's not talk about that.” Chris clenched her fists and said angrily: “Zun Zun, I have something to say to you now!”
“Let me state in advance, it's not my fault!”
Zun Zun quickly explained the matter of the maid sending two pots of tulips. After hearing that she chose the wrong one out of two, Chris's face was full of suspicion about life.
Yes.
You must know that Chris is the incarnation of the goddess of luck, and it is almost impossible to choose the wrong option, unless there is a luck value comparable to her… Isn't there one!? It's that scumbag I met last night!
“Thanks to your rampage, we had to move out of Eldap's villa.”
“Hehe, don't say that.”
“I'm not praising you.”
Seeing the smiling Chris, Zun Zun knew that the resentment she had because of what happened last night had almost dissipated.
“Okay, let's discuss how to sneak into the palace now.”
The team members were scattered all over the royal capital, and Baluta was forcibly recalled to the Knights Order by Claire for poor performance, which inevitably had Zun Zun's intentional involvement.
Now is a good time when no one is disturbing.
“I still suggest sneaking in without causing any noise and stealing the artifact necklace.”
Chris said decisively.
This is her aesthetic. She did the same when she went to Viscount Schneider's mansion. Even if she caused such a big commotion in the royal capital, she didn't barge into other people's homes like a barbaric robber.
“I don't think so, boss.”
“Don't call me boss! … So why not, assistant junior?”
“If it's a normal situation, of course we can sneak in, but now Alice obviously knows that we will steal the necklace. May I ask, won't she make preparations and shout loudly after seeing us?”
The latest novel is first published on Six Nine Books!
“This…”
That makes a lot of sense.
This is a game of 'I'm going to steal the necklace, and you know I'm going to steal the necklace, and I know you know I'm going to steal the necklace' that belongs exclusively to the internal members of the thief団.
That's right.
Whether it's Kazuma Sato or Claire and the others, they are all part of the Play between Zun Zun and Alice. Therefore, there is no need to lurk at all.
Besides, doesn't a certain Assassin's Creed also solve all the people and openly lurk into the enemy's camp?
“Wait a minute, Zun Zun, you wouldn't…”
“Yes! I've been prepared for a long time!”
Zun Zun turned his wrist and pulled out a white envelope like a magic trick and threw it to Chris.
Open it and see.
[Notice Letter]
After the Sword of Damocles falls,
When the blue and white moon hangs high after the celebration ends,
I will descend on the most romantic castle spire,
To visit the noblest smile,
This is a date between bodies,
Please allow me to steal your heart.
Below is the logo of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts drawn by Zun Zun. The coquettishness can be scored a hundred points! Chris couldn't help but shudder after reading it.
“Isn't this too arrogant?”
“If I am not arrogant, how will the world know that I dare to break into the royal palace at night and steal the personal necklace of the princess?”
Arrogant, very 特么 arrogant.
You must know that the place they are about to break into is different from the villas of the nobles who are negligent in defense. The palace is heavily guarded. If they send a notice letter and jump on their faces like this… Chris can't imagine what they will encounter there.
“No, I don't agree!”
“Why?”
“Why… We are going to the royal palace, not the home of nobles. Zun Zun, you are too high-profile. Isn't this deliberately increasing the difficulty for yourself!”
“If I don't do this, how will the world know that I dare to break into the royal palace at night and steal the personal necklace of the princess?”
“You said that just now!”
The thief团 is about to fall apart due to serious differences in ideas.
“Okay, at this time, we can only use that.” Chris said helplessly: “Didn't Zun Zun, you specially set the rules in the beginning because there would be differences?”
“Oh ho, is it okay? You asked for it.”
“Don't underestimate me, I'm full of luck!”
Then——
“Rock——paper——”
“Okay! I won!”
Zun Zun raised his right fist, which is a symbol of victory.
Chris stared wide-eyed and looked incredulously at her scissor hand that represented victory but did not achieve victory, muttering words like 'impossible, absolutely impossible!' 'I am the incarnation of the goddess of luck'.
Humph.
With the crown, as long as it is related to luck, even gods will win for you to see!
In the end, even if Chris is the incarnation of the goddess of luck, there is still a gap if the main body does not descend.
Look at Kazuma Sato and you'll know.
The fact that his underwear was stolen by the stealing skill is a manifestation of insufficient luck, right?
Zun Zun first used the excuse of saying goodbye to Alice to secretly send the letter to Alice's room through the elves, and then decisively left and waited quietly for the incident to ferment.
Alice should be able to guess that this is the signal I gave her.
I hope she can enjoy this activity.
Return to the hotel where you are staying.
Kazuma Sato ran over immediately after seeing Zun Zun and shouted like he was complaining: “Listen to me, Zun Zun, that idiot Aqua actually made the ring that Mitsurugi what's his name… Anyway, that guy bought for you disappear!”
“Ah! Kazuma, you bastard, you promised to keep it a secret!”
Aqua shouted哇哇 angrily.
She smiled awkwardly embarrassedly, but Zun Zun said that he didn't care, who wants a ring given by a man.
Kazuma Sato twitched the corner of his mouth, he felt that Mitsurugi Kyouya was pitiful.
In various senses.
