Funina, please let me steal your heart!

"You ignored the guards' obstruction and found the Supreme Inquisitor, asking him to stop the duel. You explained the doubts in the case to him, and he acknowledged them, but he did not choose to stop it."

Something warm seeped out.

"And your father knew that he would not live long. In order to protect you and allow you to survive and grow in danger, he was prepared the moment he was slandered as a sinner."

The taste of rust filled Navia's mouth.

"So he chose to die, and in order to respond to him, Clorinde had to swing the sword for the last time. The truth was washed away by the water. There are still evil people inside the Court of Justice. The incident is not over yet, and the dead continue to appear in this Fontaine..."

Navia seemed to have forgotten that she was still biting Luna's finger and clenched her teeth.

It was not until the warm blood was caught by the tip of her tongue that she finally came to her senses and quickly opened her mouth.

My fingers were bleeding.

"Lulu, I..." Navia didn't know how to react for a moment.

The taste of rust lingers between lips and teeth, and it is not a pleasant taste.

Luna just glanced at the wound, not caring at all, and smiled, "Are you feeling a little relieved?"

"This... How can it be so easy! You're bleeding. Let me look for it. I brought a Band-Aid. Remember it's over here—"

Navia took out a Band-Aid and put it on Luna's wound.

She tenderly stroked the edge of the Band-Aid with her fingertips to make it stick tightly, and her chaotic thoughts could hardly be gathered into accurate words.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I hope you can relax." Luna said calmly.

For a moment, Navia felt as if she had never known anyone named Luna.

"I don't think biting someone until they bleed will make them feel better."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Luna put her hand on Navia's chest: "Feel it carefully again."

Feel? She could only feel Luna's hand, as soft as jade.

But after thinking about it, Navia really found that she didn't seem to be upset at all.

There was the taste of blood in my mouth, Luna's smile filled my vision, and the only thing that came to my mind was pity, as if there was no room for any other unnecessary emotions to squeeze in.

But to say that Luna's method was successful would be absurd.

“I don’t approve of this approach.”

Tearing open someone else's wounds and then stuffing other things in there, forcibly diverting all the senses and thoughts - Navia didn't care about it.

"I don't want Lulu to get hurt." Navia said seriously.

That's what she has in mind.

Then don't hit me so hard when I'm a phantom thief, Luna thought.

"This level of injury will heal quickly."

Compared to the wound on the palm of my hand when I took the enemy's weapon before.

Luna rubbed her palms, but Navia's face suddenly came into her sight.

"No matter what kind of injury it is, I don't want you to be injured. For an actor, health is very important, isn't it?"

"That's true. So Nana is speaking from the perspective of an agent?"

Navia took Luna's hands and shook them up and down: "Yes, but not completely!"

"I am your partner, your good friend;"

"I am also your assistant, your Miss Watson;"

"Similarly, I am also your agent and a partner who supports your career! - No matter from which angle, I don't want Lulu to get hurt, do you understand?"

Luna smiled gently: "What if..."

"I just hope that Nana will hurt me."

"Eh?!"

Does she actually have such a fetish?

Then, if that's the case, what should I do... No! Navia puffed up her cheeks when she saw Luna smiling, knowing that she was being teased again.

We must fight back.

Only when you feel the pain will you stop. This is true for everyone.

This is the experience that the members of the Thorn Rose Society understand best.

Navia gritted her teeth and leaned over to Luna's shoulder: "Then I'll bite you, okay? The bite will leave deep marks, bleed, and it will hurt and be hot!"

This is clearly a threat.

Luna didn't care. Instead, she gently pressed her head against her shoulder and said, "It's good to let it out."

Navia: “.................”

Luna: “……….”

Navia sighed: "I lose to you. You said that as if you would accept whatever I do."

How could she attack like this? How could she attack?

"Of course I don't accept everything, but my bottom line is quite flexible."

"Your explanation is very flexible." Navia said helplessly.

Navia sighed again and simply leaned on Luna's shoulder.

"Let me lean on you. This is the greatest release for me." She closed her eyes and whispered, letting Luna's slightly rippling hair scratch her cheek.

“It’s so ordinary.”

".... Could it be that you have done something special?"

"Does burying your face in someone else's hair count?"

Are you talking about Chiori?

....What a good relationship. Navia thought carelessly, then nodded slightly.

"Then, Lulu, sit down."

"Hmm? Yes, you can."

After Luna sat obediently on the stone, Navia walked around behind her and buried her face in her hair, but the fragrant smell made it difficult for her to breathe for a while.

"Nana."

"Ok?"

"You are like a large golden retriever now."

Navia said subtly: "....I am a little unhappy when you say that. Although I like dogs, but you call them large dogs or something..."

"Meow."

"Don't fool around!"

After Navia finished speaking, she suddenly laughed.

"I'm fine. In fact, if you don't do anything weird, I can adjust my mood faster."

Luna snorted, "You are denying my efforts."

"I didn't deny it, but I thought that Dad might have given me a choice by doing that."

"Even though the truth will never come out, both the Thorn Rose Society and I can live a useless life while the deterrence remains;"

"Or I can find out the truth and give everyone an explanation. Although I have never talked to him, he has made me follow him since I was a child..."

"He probably hopes that I can become a strong person who doesn't need to rely on others, but can be independent and move forward on my own."

"But Lulu, if you do this, I will be dependent on you, right?" Navia said with a smile.

"That's really not good." Luna smiled.

Navia blinked: "I thought you would say that this is okay."

Luna shook her head: "Dependence and dependence are different. If you depend on someone, it's fine, but if you depend on someone..."

"if?"

"It's like having a large golden retriever."

Navia blushed and grabbed Luna's face: "It's endless! Let's see how the boss of the Thorn Rose Club will deal with you, hey!"

Luna, with Navia's hands around her neck, did not resist, but simply collapsed back.

"Don't be eliminated so soon." Navia said dissatisfiedly.

She sat down, letting Luna rest her head on her chest, and looked into the distance beyond the fluttering golden threads.

"Perhaps Vashé is Marcelle," she said suddenly.

"What about reasoning?"

"No, it's intuition! But my intuition is always accurate. Besides, Marcelle is the most likely person to collude with the Court of Justice and even bribe many of her subordinates."

After all, it owns a well-known chamber of commerce.

"But the most important evidence has not yet been found."

Luna said, "If you have any doubts, just shoot and you'll find out."

"'The bullet is my evidence!' -- something like that? Haha, it's like something out of a novel. But I want to completely defeat the mastermind in the trial."

"Not for the reason that lynching shouldn't happen."

Navia rested her chin on Luna's head: "I just want to stand upright in the trial where my father did not stand, and stand on the side of the accuser."

"Then prove my father's innocence. Crush him, defeat him, expose the crimes of the mastermind, and give all those who have been harmed the fairness and justice they deserve."

"And tell everyone that Carles Kasapa did not lose, and the Thorn Rose Society did not lose either."

"That's all."

Luna smiled and said, "Translated, it means: You want to put on a grand performance?"

"Ah."

Navia whispered, "I might have been infected by Lulu."

"Do you want treatment?"

"...It's good that he doesn't get cured, since we are partners."

Navia said, combing Luna's hair with her hands a few times.

Picking up a strand of equally brilliant gold, Navia thought that she and Luna were not the same, and they might even be completely opposite in some of their ideas.

Just like the color of the eyes.

Luna's eyes are as gorgeous as rubies, and she is as blue as the sea and sky.

but....

“I want to be on stage with Lulu.”

Luna raised her head and met Navia's eyes as she was looking down at her.

"Let us defeat the real enemy in the judgment hall under the witness of God, just like before!" Navia smiled brightly.

Luna looked into Navia's eyes, the smile before her far surpassed any treasure she had ever seen before.

"of course."
