Chapter 150.1 - EPISODE 150.1 – PHANTOM THIEF (2) (1/2)
“No, f*ck. No, f*ck!”
Pink Bomb?
PINK BOMB?
“Are you kidding me?”
“Well, I mean. Like I said, we have to lure Velkian, right? In order to do that, the name of Phantom Thief Pink Bomb must be famous, right? Famous enough that Velkian will know wherever he is, okay?”
He was right.
It was quite a convincing story.
But Cordelia wasn’t a fool.
“No! In the first place, why is it Pi- mmph!”
“Shh! Adelia might wake up!”
Jude quickly covered her mouth with his hands and Cordelia struggled to talk before she swiftly cast <Message> magic.
[Hey! F*ck, do you think I’m stupid? In the first place, why did you use the name Pink Bomb in your letter to Velkian? Care to explain?]
[Didn’t you agree to using it back then? Pink Bomb?]
[I seriously thought you were joking then!]
[Hey, I didn’t lie to you.]
[Argh, f*ck. Are you trying to get me mad on purpose? You didn’t lie? My scammer, Jude?]
[But I’m still part of yours.]
[If you don’t explain it properly, you’ll be someone else’s Jude from today onwards! Do you understand?!]
T/N: Here we are with the word play again. The literal translations are actually ‘My house’s scammer,’ ‘But I’m still part of ‘our house,’ and ‘you’ll be the Jude of someone else’s house…’ It’s hard to explain in English about the ‘house’ thing because it’s something unique to Korean culture, but you can just think or replace it with the word ‘family.’
So when Cordelia calls Jude as her family’s scammer, Jude retorts by saying that at least, he’s still part of her family. But Cordelia threatens to kick him out of her family, thus becoming the Jude of ‘someone else’s family.’
[Okay, I’ll explain.]
[What, you’ll really explain it?]
Cordelia blinked her eyes and asked.
Is there a good reason for the use of a weird name like Pink Bomb?
[Yes, I can explain.]
[W-what is it?]
[Pink Bomb is a special name for Velkian. It’s the name of the main character in Velkian’s favorite novel.]
Cordelia’s eyes narrowed at Jude’s words, but she couldn’t say anything else.
Because while she had heard of this for the first time, it was something that came out of Jude’s mouth.
‘Was there something like a hidden character setting?’
Cordelia tilted her head and asked again.
[Is that why you used the name Pink Bomb?]
[Because we want it to remain strongly in Velkian’s mind and arouse his curiosity.]
[Hmmm…]
His words were quite convincing.
Phantom Thief Pink Bomb.
It was definitely a name that would leave a deep impression to anyone who had heard it. But if someone liked a novel with a main character having such a name, that person would certainly come to the royal capital out of curiosity.
[Haa, so annoying. Who the hell is that person? Who in the world names their main character Pink Bomb!]
[Calm down, calm down. I mean, Yellow Storm and Pink Bomb are the same, right?]
[It’s different! It’s really, really, completely different, okay?!]
[Yes, it’s different. Very different. Yes, yes, it’s different. It’s very different.]
When Jude said that as if he was soothing a child, Cordelia immediately tried to kick Jude’s shin but failed. Because Jude had reflexively used his golden wind.
[F*ck, you’re so annoying.]
You avoided it? You even used a skill?
[I mean, it will hurt if I get hit.]
[Evil b*stard, ugly b*stard, nasty b*stard, f*cking b*stard.]
[Umm… It’s been a while since I’ve heard you say so many curse words, so it’s kind of nice… Should I give you a reward?]
[What is this crazy b*stard saying? Hmph.]
Cordelia was so angry that tears seemed to involuntarily come out of her eyes.
Jude said as he squatted to make eye contact with Cordelia who sat down on the floor in exhaustion.
[Anyway, Cordelia, you don’t have to worry about it too much. You’ll be able to do it well.]
[Hooo, hey. Are you worried that I’ll do something wrong? I won’t. I will not. I can do it. I will be Pink Bomb.]
[Umm…well… I can’t help it if you dislike it that much.]
[Eh? Really? You’ll really do it?]
[Well… the clothes may not fit, but I can fix it.]
[Wait, what are you talking about? The clothes don’t fit? You’re going to wear this?]
[I should wear it. Even if the clothes look like that, I should still look like the first Rogue Master, right?]
At Jude’s words, Cordelia closed her eyes for a moment and imagined it.
She imagined Jude wearing tight-fitting black leather clothes, a pink miniskirt, rabbit ears, and tail.
[Fu-f*ck… I’ll just do it. I’ll do it.]
She couldn’t bear to see something like that.
After all, he was her fiancé.
No, apart from being her fiancé, she unconsciously felt disgusted at the thought of seeing Jude going around like that. It was a bit embarrassing.
