Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 10 - A Thief Comes



In an ordinary house where the atmosphere had become quiet as the homeowner fell into a nap.
There was a strange and secretive gaze observing this house.
“Meow~! I smell money…? And it’s very strong!”
Of course, it wasn’t the surveillance of an underground organization trying to kidnap Dam Han-ul, the homeowner, after recognizing his great ability.
Because his ability was so amazing, everyone was now keeping quiet about information regarding their small and precious fortune teller teacher.
As such, the identity of the gaze observing Dam Han-ul’s house wasn’t anything special, just a thief who had caught the scent of money.
The interesting point might be that this thief was surprisingly a famous villain.
The identity of the thief secretly observing Dam Han-ul’s house is a cat beastkin superhuman who calls herself the ‘Phantom Thief Black Cat’.
Moreover, she was a B-rank high-grade and very special superhuman, as well as a famous villain.
“Nyanyanya-! Why is such a sweet money smell coming from such an ordinary house…?”
Although she was quite skilled, to the extent that her real name and face had never been revealed until now, and as such had accumulated quite a lot of money, her greed was still not fully satisfied.
She wasn’t the type of thief who was like a righteous outlaw, but rather the type who would ruthlessly steal even from a begging beggar if she liked something, and since she was also capable, it wasn’t particularly strange that she was greedy.
She had many enemies because she didn’t discriminate in her theft targets, but she hadn’t lived while caring much about such things.
She had never known failure until now, and she had the ability to back up that confidence.
…The problem is that she’s not the strongest, though.
“Hmm, it doesn’t seem to have any defenses… This will be easy this time? Nyanyanya!”
Unfortunately, she completely failed to realize that until just a moment ago, two S-rank superhumans had stayed in that room, and she happily laughed without predicting her future.
After scanning the house one last time, she retreated for now with a bright smile on her face.
…And then it became late at night.

Late at night. A time so late that Dam Han-ul, who had taken a nap during the day, had fallen into a deep sleep again after eating dinner.
“Meow… Are you sleeping soundly? Nyanyanya…”
Black Cat, who laughed quietly with narrowed eyes, appeared softly and secretly on the veranda of Dam Han-ul’s house.
She could have robbed during the day, but the reason she came at such a late hour was her habit and routine. She thought thieves should move at night to be cooler. Even though she’s still just a thief.
“It’s not even locked? This is like eating cold porridge? Nyahaha!”
And the window, which was closed but not locked, was quietly opened by her as she softly invaded Dam Han-ul’s house, and with her unique silent footsteps and perfectly concealed presence, she moved to the room where the money smell was strongly felt, preparing for any potential threats.
“Meow? This, this smell is even sweeter than I thought?!”
As she quietly opened the room door and entered, she widened her eyes at the stronger than expected money smell.
Inside the room where the homeowner was deeply asleep.
There were exactly two places where the money smell was strongly felt.
One was where several hundred million won in cash was piled up, and the other was…
“Meow?! It’s an artifact!?”
That expensive artifact was blatantly present.
She’d have to appraise it to know the details… but just looking at its appearance, it seemed quite stylish and expensive.
Usually, such items sell for very high prices.
Even if it was stolen goods, it wouldn’t make much difference.
Moreover, this homeowner didn’t seem to understand the value of this artifact. There weren’t any particular precautions in place.
“Kiya~! What a windfall?”
Just as she was gleefully about to grab the ring,
[Unauthorized individual’s contact detected.]
[Automatic defense system activated.]
Zap! Zzzzt-!!!
“Nyagagagagak-?!?!”
Immediately, the magic engraved in that ring activated and spectacularly zapped her.
Although it was a pretty item that the owner wore around, it was still an item that an S-rank superhuman had been wearing, so it could distinguish between its owner and others, and as it even had a counterattack function, it was a very excellent item with solid self-defense. Even though the original owner was so strong that it was just used like a decorative item, it was still a great artifact.
And there was no way she, a peculiar superhuman who had achieved B-rank because while her mobility and agility were said to be above A-rank level, her durability and defense were like paper, could withstand such power.
‘It wasn’t that there were no preparations, but that there was no need for them…’
She briefly glanced at the ring and its owner with very resentful eyes, then staggered and collapsed, rolling her eyes and fainting.
“Ugh?! What’s this noise?!”
And I, Dam Han-ul, the homeowner and new owner of the ring, finally reacted to the noises I had been hearing and belatedly got up to look around.
“…Huh? Who’s this person?”
And in my half-asleep state, I could discover it.
The figure of an uninvited guest who had fainted and was lying on the floor, well-fried.
“…What’s this situation?”
First, even in my confused state, I picked up my phone.

My goodness, to think a thief would break into our house.
“The world really is going to the dogs.”
“…Hmph!”
I muttered in disbelief, looking at the cat-eared thief in front of me, whom I had tied up just in case and who had soon regained consciousness.
No, to think a thief would break into our house!
Thanks to this thief who, for some reason, answered questions well, I could understand why she came to rob our house.
‘She came because the money smell was strong… Hah!’
Thinking that this happened because of my fortune-telling work made me feel quite dizzy.
It was even more dizzying to think that if it weren’t for this ring Hatieri gave me, I would have been completely robbed.
‘Ah… Really. It’s crazy to get involved too much when there’s nothing good about it…’
The incoming money was sweet, and thanks to these side benefits, I couldn’t cut off this damn fortune-telling life even if I wanted to. Even if I tried to cut it off, other customers would cling to me a lot…
“Haah… Life…”
Anyway, it’s really fortunate that it ended without any problems. The police have been called, so this happening will be wrapped up simply.
“Hmm… It’s a bit unsettling, but…”
Although it was a bit unsettling… What could go wrong when the police took her away!
I soon sent the worry to a corner of my mind and, following my half-asleep body’s instinct, returned to bed and lay down.
And not long after, I fell into a deep sleep again with a strange dream.
