Chapter 837: Rookie Adventurers and the Legendary Chivalrous Thief ① (2/2)

[Let me answer your question! That would be me!!!]

[ [ [ [ [ [ ! ? ] ] ] ] ] ]

As if in response to my mumble, a voice suddenly resounded…… from above. Surprised, we looked up and saw someone standing on the roof of the mansion…… but I couldn't properly see her because she stands with the sun shining behind her.

[First: Sipping the lifeblood of the Humans' world. Second: Indulging in insolent misdeeds. Third: ”Whatever I said has nothing to do with today”! Touu!]

What is this…… This speech is filled with undisguised idiocy…… While I was in a complicated mood, reflexively feeling disappointed, with the sun behind their back, the figure leapt from the roof and landed in front of us.

[Shutaaa!]

The sound of her landing…… was something she verbally spoke, but I wonder what this feeling I have? I feel like the person that arrived here has quite the character.

Her hair had two colors of brown and black, just like custard pudding, and only the right side of hair is braided into a long braid. The hair on the back of her head was quite long, but it was tied in a thin strand, and combined with her movements, it looked like a tail.

The woman of about 150 cm, wearing light clothing that seemed to be easy to move around in, slightly peculiar circular pouches on both of her hips, and a cloak that covered only the upper half of her body, looked towards us, and making a pose, she spoke.

[Traversing the Three Realms, the Great Chivalrous Thief of Love and Justice! Hapti makes her entrance!!!]

The name she loudly announced sounds rather familiar. I mean, if I remember correctly, that's a pretty big name in this world……

Thereupon, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lilia-san slumped down and kneeling on the ground.

[My Lady!?]

[……Luna…… She called herself Hapti……]

[……That, she did.]

[……It's the same name as one of the Hero Party, whose ”whereabouts became unknown a thousand years ago”……]

[I- It could just be another person with the same name……]

[……But this is a situation related to Kaito-san, you know?]

[She's the real one. I'm sure of it.]

That's strange. Why the heck are they naturally saying that I'm at fault here…… No, well, since it's related to Alice, I guess it really is related to me……]

A- Anyway, the person who showed up was unexpectedly the last member of the First Hero's party, the self-proclaimed Chivalrous Thief Hapti-san.

……Incidentally, the book I read before described her as an all-around ”Thief” and according to Neun-san, she was a money-grubbing troublemaker…… so I guess her, being a ”Chivalrous” Thief is just self-proclaimed.
