Chapter 231 – Episode 25. Late-Night Commotion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
-There are intruders other than us.
Yuka Otagi heightened her senses to the fullest when she heard Eve’s voice coming through the communication device she was wearing in her ear. However, even vampires with keen senses could not sense any sign of an intruder.
-Don’t worry, it’s not Kurotsukidou. I think he’s probably a night thief like us.
As Yuka Otagi continued to look around looking for her intruder, Eve’s words were heard. Fortunately, it wasn’t Kurotsukidou. He’s just a thief, so there’s no need to worry.
Coincidentally, the fact that the thieves happened at the same time was a bad situation for the Metropolitan Museum. It wasn’t that big of a problem for Otagi Yuka, but she thought she should get it quickly because she might have the same thing she wanted, so she asked Eve.
“Where is the stuff we want to take? “There may be overlapping items, so gather them quickly.”
-Wait for a sec… ! If you check the footage captured on CCTV and the museum’s blueprint… It’s on the second floor. Go up to the second floor, turn right, and keep going.
Yuka Otagi listened to her Eve and ran up her stairs five steps at a time. Otagi Yuka, who arrived at the desired goal in an instant with her incredible physical abilities, saw a golden sword standing inside her glass case.
When she looked closer, she could clearly tell. That this golden sword was something she had prepared for herself. As Yuka Otagi approached her, the part of her blade became red-hot, revealing that she knew the golden sword was a weapon used by vampires.
When Yuka Otagi tries to break the glass box containing the golden sword.
“Ahh!”
Someone shouted from behind. Yuka Otagi gave up on touching her glass case and turned around to see two blonde women wearing VR goggle-like equipment standing there.
“Is that really necessary? This is what we were aiming for too…”
A thief with slightly lighter platinum hair asked Yuka Otagi. I couldn’t see her face because of the VR goggles-like equipment, but she sounded a little embarrassed. Otagi Yuka spoke with a stern expression and voice.
“This sword is mine.”
“Still… !”
When the platinum-haired thief was about to say something, the blond-haired thief grabbed the platinum-blond thief’s shoulder, stopped him, and whispered. An ordinary person wouldn’t have heard it, but Yuka Otagi, a vampire, could hear what the two were whispering.
“As she got closer, the sword lost its shine. “Maybe it would be beneficial for us to have that woman.”
“So you’re saying it’s right for that redhead to have it?”
“Maybe…”
The two of them talked a bit incomprehensibly about light and other things, but Otagi Yuka knew that the two blonde VR thieves were trying to give up their golden sword. It was fortunate. There is no need to shed blood other than that of Kurotsuki Dou.
“I’m giving up the knife, so don’t touch the glass case for now. No matter how much we block everything, each glass box has a sensor with its own power source, so if you tamper with it, the security company will come running. We still have a lot to steal, right? “We’ll open it, so just stay still.”
The blonde thief slowly approached me with his hands raised as if to stop me from attacking him. Yuka Otagi also took a step back from her glass case, as if asking the blonde thief to do some work. The blond thief fiddled around with the glass case and cut one of several wires hidden under the cabinet beneath the glass case.
“Ruler! Now you can take whatever you want. You can either break the glass or take the whole glass box.”
Hearing the blonde thief’s words, Otagi Yuka broke the glass box. With nothing standing between her and Otagi Yuka, the golden sword flew through the air like a magnet and was caught in Otagi Yuka’s hand. It was a fairly large greatsword, but it felt just right so that even when Otagi Yuka held it with one hand, she could not feel its weight. It looked natural to anyone who saw it, and it really looked like Otagi Yuka was the owner of this golden sword.
“It looks like you really are the owner. “Then let’s go get the rest.”
“I understand~! If you have nothing more to steal, go back. We’ll take our share and go… !”
Kwaaaaang!!
While we were talking, a huge roar was heard from the first floor. All three looked at each other’s faces in surprise. Eve’s voice was heard from the communication device attached to Otagi Yuka’s ear.
–Kurotsuki Dooya! Until now, I was reluctant to fight at night, but seeing that they came looking for Yuka like this, it looks like they got some new weapons too.
“Are you okay. “With this sword, there is nothing to be afraid of.”
Yuka Otagi answered her Eve and then she turned her head to the two blonde thieves. She needed to let them both know that it was because of her.
“The noise from the first floor was probably caused by me, so don’t get involved and run away.”
“You can’t do that. “There are some items on the first floor that we have saved.”
The two blonde thieves refused to run away and went down to the first floor with Yuka Otagi.
On the first floor, a black SUV broke through the museum’s entrance, and dozens of Muyeongdae henchmen with guns were standing around with guns pointed.
Bang bang bang bang!!
As soon as Otagi Yuka, who was the first to take the lead, appeared, a barrage of bullets rained down from Muyeongdae. It was a silver bullet that she had no choice but to dodge up to this point, but Yuka Otagi snorted at her and swung the golden sword in her hand.

Otagi Yuka swung her sword so fast that it looked as if it were her discus, deflecting her bullets. All the bullets that bounced went back to Muyeongdae’s henchmen. She was wearing tech armor, so she wasn’t hurt by the deflected bullets, but she was able to deflect the bullets and bounce them off, which was an incredible feat.
Deflecting all of her bullets, Yuka Otagi lunged at her at incredible speed and swung her sword across her length. Blood mixed with gold and red tore apart one person, Mu Yeong-dae.
While the two blonde thieves were attracted to Otagi Yuka, they crossed the stairs and tried to get to the item they wanted, but bullets rained down on them as they were considered part of Muyeongdae’s group.
“Tsk!”
The body suits the two blonde thieves were wearing seemed to have a lot of protection, so even though they were hit by several bullets, they showed no signs of pain or injury.
“Eat this!”
The platinum-haired thief threw a small black disc that looked like a hockey puck. The black disk fell to the floor where the martial arts stand was gathered and then spewed out electricity.
In an instant, more than ten people were electrocuted and fell to the ground, and when Otagi Yuka cut down two more people, the back door of the black SUV that had been sitting still after breaking down the museum’s front door opened.
Mu Young-gwi pulled a large steel pipe out of the SUV. At that moment, everyone in the museum could not take their eyes off Mu Yeong-gwi and the black coffin. It was overly ominous. Even the two blonde thieves who threw the black disc and tried to run away stopped and looked at Mu Young-gwi and the coffin.
It was that moment.
Beep beep beep beep beep!
Police sirens sound and people can be heard rushing out of cars. It seemed like someone saw the SUV crashing into the museum’s main entrance and reported it. Soon, the voice of the police was heard through the loudspeaker.
“Criminals in the museum, listen! If you raise your hand right now, I won’t shoot. But if we go in, there is bound to be bloodshed!”
Muyoung-gwi chuckled at the sound of the police outside. And snapped her fingers in her black mist. Then one of her fallen corpses stands up. It was a body that had died from electric shock. The body went out with both hands raised as if in surrender.
Quaaaaang!
A loud bang is heard a few seconds later. Everyone except Mu Young-gwi and Mu Young-dae opened their eyes wide in surprise. Soon after, the body that had been decapitated by Yuka Otagi stood up and she went out again. And then it explodes again. When the roar and vibration of the explosion stopped, a laugh could be heard from her dark fog where Muyoung’s ears were.
“Kkkk…” . “Now that there’s no one in the way, shall we start again?”
Muyeong-ear’s laughter opened her coffin, emitting an ominous laugh that shook her heart. She made an unpleasant noise and inside the opened coffin was the corpse of what could only be called a knight wearing a black helmet and black armor.
“Get up.”
At Muyoung-gwi’s words, the black knight lying in her coffin woke up. Through the cracks in her armor, black smoke was leaking out, like the ears of Muyoung, and it looked quite ominous.
A blue eye light appeared through the closed helmet, and he lifted the huge sword lying on the coffin and pointed it at Otagi Yuka. Otagi Yuka also did not lose and raised her golden sword upwards, assuming her upper stance so that she could strike down at any time.
“Kill it.”
Following Mu Young-gwi’s words, the black knight rushed towards Otagi Yuka with pounding footsteps. Although the steps were heavy and pounding, each step was very fast, so it was not something to be taken lightly.
“Shall we try to get rid of the small children in the meantime?”
“What a small piece! “We are François, the world’s greatest thief!”
“It must be ugly to see what’s hiding in the fog!”
When Moo Young-gwi held up a large scythe and pointed at the two blonde thieves, or rather the phantom thief François, the two screamed, apparently annoyed at being treated like small children. And then, as if they knew that battle was inevitable, they both took out the pistols that were hanging on their thighs.
“Let’s see who is the small bastard… !”
“I’m going to check what’s in the fog!”
The two phantom thieves François spoke while aiming their pistols in a skillful manner.

No matter how much I call it a gold sword, at least it’s a regular sword, so I failed to make an illustration.
