Reyha teleported herself to a secret hideout known only to herself and her brother. As she came here just after completing her research, her clothes were a bit messy. She heard her cute little brother speaking -
"Big sis, you should really take more care of your health. I'm sure you haven't eaten the whole day, right?"
Seeing the worried face of her little brother her heart softened a bit and she told him with a soft smile -
"Don't worry, don't worry. Your big sister is tougher than she looks."
"Yes, I know and that's why for my super tough sister I have brought dinner. Please eat it in front of me."
Saying so the brother took out two tiffin boxes. He put one in front of his older sister Reyha and another one in front of him.
"Do you know today's hot news sister?"
"Umm, nope. I was busy with some new potions so I didn't get time for that. What is it ? Is it a bug deal."
"I don't know if someone killing over 10,000 within a few hours and completely destroying several organisations including three noble families of Myrilia kingdom should be a big deal or not ?"
Reyha started choking on her food hearing that. After gulping down some water, she asked -
"Are you fucking serious? Is it some kind of joke? You shouldn't joke with your big sis like this, you know. Her heart is quite weak."
"Haha, I thought big sis would react like that. But sis, whatever I said earlier is true. Actually the person who was responsible for this whole thing started today's massacre from our little city."
"Eh, tell me more details?"
Reyha became serious when she heard that this big incident started in the city she was leaving.
"Hmm, you know about that newly rising merchant, right? What was his name, badagada or something. We knew he was doing something illegal like drugs but as our city was not completely under the kingdom law we tended to overlook crimes like that."
"But what he was doing was way worse than some drugs. He was connected with an organisation called "Paradise" and that organisation was creating items and potions using human sacrifices. Not only that they were even sacrificing newborn babies to create the infamous maisma potions."
Reyha put a hand in her mouth. The food she just finished eating was about to come out.
"H-how can that be? That's horrible."
"I know right? I never knew that there was this kind of disgusting organisation in the kingdom's underworld."
"Who was the great person responsible for destroying that organisation. I would really like to pay my respects to him."
The brother, whose name was David, eyes started sparkling as if he was going to talk about his idol.
"The person responsible for that is an A rank adventurer who had just become a S rank after completing the promotion missions. Her beauty is peerless, her strength is immeasurable. She had a righteous and kind heart. Her name is Elena and after today's incident, the world started calling her - "The Crimson Adjudicator". She has become the main topic of discussion for many and a lot of information about her is coming out. Actually Some members of our family even invited her to join us when she was in the adventurer guild of the city. Haha."
"Wow, I would really like to meet such an awesome person."
"Hehe, same here."
When the brother and sister pair was having a very fun conversation, suddenly they froze. They heard a playful voice.
"Hmm, I see that the phantom thief is having a heart-warming conversation with her brother. And they are even talking about me. That's kinda embarrassing, you know. Fufu"
When both of them looked at the place where the voice was coming from, they saw an absolute beauty. She was standing there while munching on some snacks. How could someone enter this place without breaking my ward, that was the first thought coming to Reyha's mind but she soon remembered that the person said that they were talking about her. Then she must be...
Before she could do anything her brother suddenly jumped up from his seat and kneeled before Elena. He started talking with insane enthusiasm -
"Very nice to meet you, Elena Onee-sama. I'm David Foxi, the head of the Foxi family. I would really like to apologise to you for not doing a good job taking care of the city. I had the pleasure to hear you scolding that old geezer from the Krueta family and seeing you capturing that cunning snake from the Oliver family. We, the Foxi family would like to pledge our alliance to you just like the other two families you subjugated. Please accept us!!!"
Reyha was looking at her brother like he had grown a second head or something. He had never spoken with this much fervour before. He had always been someone with a cool head , especially after taking on the role of the family head. But she could somehow understand how he was feeling.
...
After coming back from the massacre Elena first reprimanded the Krueta family head for letting such a vile business inside the city. John had nothing to defend himself and after hearing about Elena's exploits he did what a person with a good head on his shoulder should do. He pledged his loyalty to Elena and asked her to help their city. Elena obviously rejected but he insisted that she would only be the leader in name and with her support they would be able to easily take steps to destroy all the evil influence in the city. After thinking about it for some time she accepted it. She had already taken the Oliver family completely under her control.
Then she used her powers to find out about the phantom thief and went straight to her witnessing the bonding session between the brother and the sister.
She had already accepted two of the three great families of the city so accepting the last family was not a big deal. Among the three families, Elena had the best opinion for the Foxi family. They had a competent leader, several loyal members and no traitors. But right now she wanted to have a conversation with the phantom thief herself, Reyha Foxi, the eldest daughter of the Foxi family.
The Foxi family was a family of warriors. Be it a male or female member of the family everyone had high martial talent. But among them, Reyha was born different. She had almost no martial talent instead she had a great talent as a mage. Not only did she have a great talent as a mage she also had intermediate Goddess' blessings from birth. The blessing of the Goddess of Pure Water, Endomyra. So she could use a special type of teleportation magic where if there was even a single drop of water with her magic signature on it, she could use that drop of water as a medium to teleport to that location. So she had put her magic signature in all the places with water inside the city and that was why she was impossible to catch.
Most stories about her were rumours and the only things she had stolen were some illegal material that might not be able to get her hands normally and she didn't want to use her identity to buy them either as that might hurt her family's reputation. So she stole them from the illegal merchants. With her blessings of teleportation, she was unstoppable. She took the mission of stealing the divine pendant only because her goddess assured her that it would not be a problem if she stole it. Actually it would be a good thing in the long run.
...
After hearing that Elena wanted to talk to her and she had identified her as the phantom thief she became nervous and started stuttering. But Elena didn't push her much and said that she was not here to punish her or anything. She just wanted to meet the phantom thief that's all. Then she said to her -
"But now that I see you, I think you're a very talented person. So I have a proposal for you. I am going to become the new temporary headmaster of the Royal Academy of Myrilia kingdom for a bit, so I would like to invite you to become a teacher there directly under me. So what do you think?"
Reyha was stunned. She thought she would get punishment but instead she was getting a recruitment. She just couldn't believe it. But letting someone awesome like Elena was not a good idea, so she hurriedly agreed to follow her. Yes, she didn't say that she would became a teacher but that she would do whatever Elena said to her. And her cheeks were red at that time. Yes she was also a closet pervert.
And that's how Elena recruited the phantom thief as her subordinate.
