Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

"The Gabriel Chamber of Commerce was set on fire; did President Marcel suffer disfigurement?"

At 3 a.m. last night, the warehouse of the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce was set on fire by unidentified individuals, and many products fell into the fire, causing heavy losses to the Chamber of Commerce.

President Marcel was disfigured as a result, suffering extensive burns to his face. After emergency treatment, he is now out of danger, and the court stated that it will conduct a thorough investigation.

Head Nurse Higgin, who happened to be passing by and providing treatment, said, "Although Mr. Marcel is out of danger, he still needs to rest. Burns are no small matter."

President Marcellus wrote in his pen: "I saw it, it was done by the Phantom Thief White Cat!"

Five-star crime expert Mr. Mike said, "Cats don't play with fire, and besides, she certainly wouldn't do it so crudely. If she were to start a fire, she would do it in a fancy way."

Head Nurse Hsieh: "We can't rule out the possibility of mental instability."

.................

Luna put the sugar into the milk and stirred it casually.

"To be set on fire at this critical juncture?"

She smelled something suspicious.

She picked up her cup and walked to the information board, lost in thought.

It's highly likely that Marcel is Vasher; all that's missing is evidence to prove it.

Her announcement has likely made it difficult for many people involved in the criminal industry to remain calm.

They would run around like ants on a hot pan.

What's there to be afraid of? What's scary is that this cat brought its whole family with it. It would be one thing if it came alone, but it also brought along a whole special patrol team led by Xia Worei.

Even more frightening is the fact that he might be targeted by the mysterious person who assassinated Alkien, namely Arecino.

"They will definitely try everything to avoid the investigation and ensure their innocence."

The same goes for Marcellus.

Disfigurement... Ah, I see.

Luna understood everything. It was a simple trick, but very effective; someone outside the field might not have thought of it.

But coincidentally, she is an expert in the field of face-swapping.

However, she doesn't need to do it, nor should she be the one to do it.

Luna thought for a moment, took out a card, and wrote a sentence or two on it. All that was left was to send it to her dear Captain.

Knock knock. The door to the front door suddenly rang.

Navia and Chiori have the key, so it definitely wasn't them.

Who would that be?

Luna opened the door, raised her eyes, and a splash of purple caught her eye.

"Are you free? Lady Funina would like to invite you to the opera house."

It's Clolinde.

"Furina invited me?" Luna was very curious, but first asked, "May I go and mail the letter first?"

"can."

A short while later, when Xia Worei returned to her bedroom, she found an extra card on her bed.

"........."

Taking a deep breath, Xia Wore knew who had sent it without even looking.

But she still started looking for any "cat hair" that might exist.

...no hair.

This is not surprising; the phantom thief White Cat would never make such a basic mistake.

Let's see what this guy is up to this time.

It couldn't be a pre-announcement; she's not in the mood for playing cat-and-mouse right now.

She only wanted to resolve the decades-long "serial disappearances of young girls" and the "unjust Carles case" as soon as possible, so that justice could prevail.

Xia Wore picked up the card and glanced at it briefly.

Have you read the newspaper?

Newspaper? She hasn't read today's newspaper yet.

"I guessed you might not have seen it, so I left a copy on your desk."

Xia Worei silently picked up the newspaper on the table, but frowned after only a few glances.

Extensive burns to the face?

At first glance, it seemed like a simple accident, but the fact that something like this happened at this critical juncture... she already had a guess in her mind.

Looking at the card again, there was a sentence written on it: "If you can do it, I will reward you with a phantom thief white cat."

"....unnecessary."

Xia Worei activated the fire element, burning the card to ashes.

......................

Inside the Opiclie Opera House.

Ying and Paimon were invited to the event and found that the audience was already seated.

The only one who didn't come was the god who, it is said, would sit above the stage every time for the past five hundred years.

Water goddess Funina.

Paimon looked around and whispered, "Wow, there are so many people. Are Linnie and Lynette really that popular?"

“After all, it’s a chance to perform at the opera house,” Ying said softly.

She took her ticket, checked the seating chart, and sat down in the front row.

"Is Furness always the last to arrive?" Paimon asked in surprise.

Ying shook her head. How could she know? But according to the common saying that "the main character often appears last," it's not surprising that Funina would do this.

In the past few days, they had heard a lot about how exaggerated and flamboyant Funina's personality was.

Although Luna's personality seems to be just as formidable.

"Look, Lady Funina is here."

Some people say this.

Ying and Paimon looked up and saw Frynn and Clarinde appearing in the audience above the stage.

"Huh? Isn't that Miss Luna?"

...Appearing alongside them was Luna, dressed smartly in a men's suit and wearing a top hat.

Not only Ying and Paimon, but the rest of the audience were also surprised.

Luna and Funina exchanged a few words before taking their seats together. Only then did they notice that there was a temporary seat next to Funina's usual spot.

How could they possibly sit with the gods?

What an honor!

"It seems Lady Funina is indeed quite fond of Miss Luna..."

"Is it because of our performance together last time?"

The audience below was talking about it.

Luna glanced down and paused slightly when she saw Ying and Paimon.

The traveler will be here, and perhaps something will happen next...

Next up was a magic show by Linnie and Lynette.

She remained silent for a while, then casually looked away.

"Lady Funina, is it really alright for me to sit here?"

“You can go down if you don’t want to,” Funina said casually.

"Of course I'd like to. But I remember Lady Funina saying that I'm not your friend."

I had no intention of becoming friends with her.

Therefore, Luna was very curious as to why Funina made this decision, first inviting her to watch the performance together and then having her sit with her.

I had already done my duty by simply handing her the tickets for the front-row seats.

Claurind asked curiously, "Is that so?"

"Yes."

“That’s very straightforward,” Clarind nodded.

“That’s right,” Luna said with a smile.

Funina blushed slightly. These two...

"Clorind," she called out casually.

"Yes."

"You are my subordinate."

"Hmm, do you need me to produce the contract?"

"What do I need that for!" Funina couldn't help but exclaim.

She blinked, conveying a message through her eyes—I'm reminding you whose subordinate you are now, and who you should speak well of!

Claudia seemed thoughtful: "You... need eye drops?"
