"So that means, that person is actually the most troublesome thief around here!"
Bone Frame was taken aback, then his tone quickly dropped.
"Isn’t that too lame~ Got caught by a skeleton~ Miscellaneous goods~"
"Bone Frame, as a bone, you should have some humility. If that person hears you, he might Lape you."
Shami chastised the suitcase.
He understood why he was mistaken as a VIP and escorted out of the bank just now.
Turns out some unlucky chap had taken all the blame for them earlier.
This time, not only did they successfully borrow money, but the blame perfectly fell on that unlucky fellow.
"Does this mean that we stole all the money from the bank vault without any worries? Shami-sama?"
"Eh, matters concerning us demons can’t be called stealing."
Shami happily patted the suitcase.
"Bone Frame, for your outstanding performance in this mission, I’m now promoting you to Demon Envoy Junior and granting you the honorable title Flea on a Drum."
"That title sounds unrelated to bones, please don’t bother. Shami-sama, just give me money. You promised to buy me what I want."
"Of course, no problem."
One man and one bone laughed merrily.
In the narrow alley beside the street they were on.
A purple-haired girl was banging her head against the wall, seething with anger.
"Damn it, damn it! After preparing for so long, my bank heist plan failed!"
"How could someone beat me to it?! Isn’t that vault supposed to be the most secure in all of Senmai? Yet someone managed to take everything stored there without anyone noticing? Even a Goblin Nest is harder to enter!"
The purple-haired girl gradually slid to the ground defeated, her voice shifting from anger to disappointment.
"Who the hell in the trade was it, that’s so unkind... At least leave some gold coins for the ones coming after you, you bastard... I prepared for two months... Now I’m stuck with an unsubstantiated charge for robbing the vault..."
The purple-haired girl crouched darkly on the ground, utterly drained of energy.
And this girl with eyes already devoid of light was the same purple-haired dark-skinned girl who had offered Shami a full-service on the beach—not long ago—Elze.
Indeed, the true identity of the purple-haired girl was the "Chameleon Thief" herself!
Now, the chameleon thief herself breathed like a dead fish.
She couldn’t find any clues related to today’s incident upon reflecting with her mind that no longer wanted to think.
At this moment, a familiar figure happened to walk past outside the alley.
The gloomy girl quickly poked her head out.
She saw Shami carrying a suitcase, talking and laughing while heading towards the villa.
The purple-haired girl realized instantly.
Since Shami lavishly rented the villa, this black-haired youth had become her "rich target" in her mind.
She had been tailing Shami since morning.
Everything she did at the beach was also to get closer to him and then snag his belongings.
Memory returned to the morning.
The purple-haired girl always followed Shami, witnessing him drop the suitcase into the bank.
She continued to tail him after he left the bank.
Until Shami entered an alley and suddenly disappeared, she lost her target.
Now, the purple-haired girl looked at the suitcase in Shami’s hand and felt extremely familiar.
Wait, when she entered the vault earlier, she also saw this suitcase. She had opened it but found nothing inside.
Why was an empty suitcase stored in the bank vault?
And now it seems like he’s chatting with the suitcase, definitely! Absolutely!
That suitcase must have a problem.
Could it be that he is the one who plundered the vault in advance?
The purple-haired girl quickly brushed off the dust that flung onto her face during her tantrum.
She retrieved her luggage from the Storage Ring and jogged to catch up with Shami, feigning an encounter.
Shami, on the way back to the villa, looked at the purple-haired girl who suddenly appeared nearby.
"What a coincidence, I was just heading to your place. And now I bumped into you."
Shami’s lips curled up.
It was a smile basked in sunlight, a smile for his first day as part of the wealthy class.
"Oh, by the way, where are you heading now?"
"Just came out of the bank with this suitcase."
"Eh, storing it? Is there something important inside? Important things should be carried with you, right?"
The purple-haired girl probed.
"No. Just some important evidence. But let’s not talk about it. Let’s go to the villa together. Lureya is waiting for us."
Shami leisurely changed the subject.
Facing Shami’s intentional avoidance, the purple-haired girl became more convinced.
The black-haired boy before her definitely had issues, at least he wasn’t a legitimate adventure team leader.
After Shami left the villa, the three Demon Envoy girls never left the villa, nor did they swim in the sea.
The villa’s backyard was equipped with a rectangular pool, and swimming in this pool was much more relaxing.
Saili didn’t have to worry about sinking bodies, and Lureya didn’t need to spend a lot of Spiritual Power to purify the water.
As for Lina, she kept hiding under the covers, feeling the ring that Shami gave her.
When Shami returned, Elze briefly greeted everyone.
"Shami, I’m hungry! Cook something for me~ You’ve already seen the swimsuit of a cute girl~"
