Phantom Thief Effie

Synopsis

◆Story

By day, Effie is a quiet girl working at a tavern in the city. Kind and adorable, she’s beloved by the townspeople and always listens to the regulars’ stories.

But when night falls, she reveals her true self.

Given power by ‘Rabisuke,’ Effie transforms into a phantom thief and races freely through the night streets. Sometimes she sneaks into homes to recover stolen goods from criminals… Sometimes she steals ill-gotten wealth to donate to the church. Occasionally she falls into traps set by villains or suffers lewd attacks that leave her feeling strange… But thanks to the magic power Rabisuke granted her, she manages to escape these pinches.

Every night, she continues her ‘good deeds.’

One day, Effie overhears a rumor at the tavern. A criminal organization called ‘Million’ operating in this city has its executives committing more evil acts.

Unable to ignore those in trouble, Effie transforms into a phantom thief once more and infiltrates an executive’s mansion—

What drives this usually quiet girl to such lengths is her strong desire to help others. To become like ‘that person’ who once saved her from danger—

◆Character Introduction

Effie

A kind and quiet girl. By day, she works as a tavern’s poster girl. Her gentle personality and cute appearance make her popular with regulars, though her lack of knowledge about adult matters sometimes leaves her vulnerable to sexual harassment.

Beneath this exterior lies strong conviction—she can’t ignore those in need. At night, she transforms into a phantom thief and races through the city, becoming bright and energetic—a stark contrast to her daytime self. She doesn’t fully understand why her personality changes, but doesn’t dwell on it.

Her daytime restraint gives way to reckless momentum at night, causing her to frequently fall into lewd traps. Yet tonight, driven by her fierce belief in ‘helping those in need,’ she enthusiastically steals back stolen goods from villains.

Ren

A girl who (self-importantly) views Effie as her rival. Unaware that Effie is actually the tavern worker, she frequently visits the establishment for meals. She admires the legendary ‘Legendary Gentleman Thief’ from the past…
