Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

They had to borrow the tiger's power and create the impression that she hadn't actually used her divine power yet.

...Although Funina felt that even if this phantom thief were to face a god, such as Inazuma, the lightning general, he probably wouldn't be afraid at all.

"Miss Funina."

"Ok?"

Luna pressed her hand to her chest and bowed slightly: "It was my rudeness. I didn't expect that Miss Funina had already been thinking about meeting me in secret, yet I still had to resort to such a scheme. I really lacked foresight."

"How could I...."

Ah! Funina belatedly realized.

If she hadn't been stolen by the phantom thief, but rather "voluntarily" become his customer.

That is indeed equivalent to her wanting to see the phantom thief, White Cat.

"Or was Miss Funina just saying that casually? And that she was actually brought here by accident?"

Fu Ningna was speechless for a moment.

She certainly couldn't admit that.

"snort........"

She could only let out a cool hum to express her feelings.

"The reason I brought Miss Funina here is very simple."

Funina perked up her ears.

"What is it?" she asked curiously.

Luna smiled faintly, pushed open the door, and turned her gaze back, as if to say, "Come on in."

The door was just opened like that?

"Aren't you afraid I'll take the opportunity to escape?" Funina hesitated for a few seconds, then thought: "Even if I escape, with her speed, catching me is as easy as a seagull catching a French fry..."

It's better to wait for a better opportunity to escape.

Or perhaps we should wait until Clorind finds her.

Clarinde is a powerful figure who inherited the Shadow Hunter technique. If she can't catch the Phantom Thief White Cat, surely she can find her? Fryna was absolutely confident of this.

Moreover, she was indeed curious about what the phantom thief was planning.

Even though it was only a tiny bit!

Funina got out of bed, followed Luna, and went out the door.

The bright sunlight stung her eyes, and a warm breeze brushed her cheeks.

Without the hustle and bustle of the city, without the gaze of others, all she had around her was the sea before her, the sand beneath her feet, and the phantom thief girl beside her.

"here it is?"

"A place far away from everyone."

Luna pointed: "Fontaine is in that direction."

Funina blinked and said, "You're just showing me the way like that?"

"Why not? You know the reason very well. I can bring you back whenever I want."

Just like a cat catching a mouse.

Before Funina could refute, Luna continued, "However, rather than using physical means, I would prefer to make Miss Funina want to stay here from the bottom of her heart."

"Of course, it won't take long."

She held up a finger.

"one day."

one day?

Funina felt that a day was long enough, and she whispered, "For what?"

"A date with Miss Funina."

No one would believe a single word of that! Funina sighed inwardly, but she didn't expect Luna to tell the truth; she was just afraid—

She put her hands behind her back and nervously pinched her fingertips.

...I'm afraid the phantom thief, White Cat, is trying to see through her.

Just like Navisette.

Just like the growing number of Fontainebleau residents now.

The reason is simple: for the sake of prophecy. If that's the case, then perhaps the pressure she faces here will even exceed what she faces when facing others.

Because the phantom thief, White Cat, possesses exceptional abilities and is extremely perceptive.

"I absolutely can't let this get out..." Funina mustered her courage and said nonchalantly, "I won't believe you!"

“I understand, and I don’t expect anyone to believe me.”

"The truth is not always a good thing. Sometimes, only lies can help others, or even save them, right?"

Funina's eyes widened.

really....

Whether it was when they met on the beach or during the harpsichord ceremony, the phantom thief's words always resonated with her inner thoughts unexpectedly.

But that's the most difficult and painful part.

The more likely the other person is to understand her, the more vulnerable she becomes. This won't do... Fucarus can't become vulnerable, otherwise how can she continue the act?

“...You don’t understand anything.” Funina shook her head.

They can't understand it either.

"Don't say things like that again."

Luna, as if certain of something, smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

As expected, Funina was hiding something... but knowing that is enough; not every wound should be exposed.

“I believe Miss Funina.”

"What?" Funina was a little confused.

"Regarding prophecy."

"Ah...you...believe?"

Luna smiled and said, "Please give me a reason why I don't believe Miss Funina. If you can convince me, I will question her."

“Of course there’s no such thing!” Funina said, hands on her hips.

Would a notorious thief actually believe her...?

That's really not funny.

135: The Phantom Thief Stole the Most Important Thing

Inside the Boufati Mansion.

Arecino returned to the living room and saw the children napping on the floor.

For some reason, they don't like to nap in bed; instead, they especially prefer to lie sprawled out on the floor.

Perhaps they had just played together and fell asleep on the spot.

In the past, Luna would always find various excuses to sleep on her lap at times like this.

“Father.” The soft call reached my ears.

She turned her head, and Linnie and Lynette were standing in the doorway.

"come on."

After saying this, Arecino walked towards her office, with the two following closely behind.

She closed the door so as not to disturb the children's afternoon nap. Only then did Arecino ask, "How are you feeling?"

“No problem. I didn’t expect that just getting close to the core of the Prophecy Machine would cause me to be contaminated with so much Lawful Mixed Energy…” Linni clenched his fist.

Lynette twitched her cat ears: "And if it weren't for 'Father,' we wouldn't have even noticed."

Arecino sat in a chair, her fingers touching and resting on her lap.

"It's good that nothing happened. But this brings a new problem—the massive amount of compensatory energy that the Prophecy Machine has generated over the past five hundred years is clearly 'oversupply'."

Even if you filled all of Fontaine with devices, you probably wouldn't need that much energy.

So what is the purpose of preparing such a massive amount of legal compensation energy?

Arecino didn't believe it was just "energy deficiency phobia," and then she heard the voice from the oracle... She pondered for a moment, and then heard Lynette's report.

"besides....."

"Ok?"

"Lulu kidnapped Funina."

Arecino: "....................."

They exchanged a glance, rarely seeing Arecino remain silent for so long.

It seems even the "father" was surprised by Luna's actions. Linni shrugged.

Lynette shook her head.

Kidnapping a god... no one would have imagined such an act. And she's very concerned about what Luna is doing with Funina right now.

"...'Father,' what do you think Lulu's motivation is?"

She didn't think Luna did it without reason.

"Could it be that she is also searching for the truth behind the prophecy...?"
