Long blond hair flows down from Fake Satou's black hair.
I get close to the impostor and strip off his disguise.
"--A woman?"
"That's right."
This person was the female phantom thief whom I met when we first arrived at the Royal Capital.
I had noticed that the Fake Satou was the phantom thief from the beginning, but she didn't do any offense, so I assumed a wait-and-see stance.
I tied the phantom thief with Thorn Foot's ivy, gave her the minimum treatment with a diluted low magic potion, and interrogated her.
"--Then you wanted to manipulate the manager in order to steal the orbs in the underground vault?"
"That's right."
This one wanted orbs too huh--.
Organized thievery has decreased, but now an individual phantom thief has appeared.
I'm getting tired of eliminating them, it's about the time they should stop.
"Is that all you want to ask? Then just quickly hand me over to the guards. Or maybe you want my body?"
The female phantom thief pushes out her breasts while being tied up, provoking me.
It's the manager who reacts instead of me.
"Be silent."
The manager hits the phantom thief with a horseback-riding whip.
A red mark is engraved on the phantom thief's cheek.
"Leave it at that."
I take out a sleeping magic potion from my storage and force the female phantom thief to drink it.
The female phantom thief twists her body, trying to resist it, but she quickly loses her consciousness, turning to [Coma] condition.
She was probably going to try escaping before the imprisonment, but now she should sleep for a whole day.
"Send her to the prison as she wants--"
As if waiting for me to finish dealing with the fake, the ring tone from [Telephone] rings.
The caller is Arisa.
Did anything happen in the royal castle?
While recalling a slight irritation, I put the Telephone reception to ON.
