Funina, please let me steal your heart!

"She sits next to Lady Furninna."

"........................................ "

A long silence.

Then the cheeks swelled up like balloons.

It's only been less than five years since she left home. How did she become like this, always having other girls around her?

She couldn't figure it out, but Linnett stood up with a snap and raised her thumbs with both hands.

“We have to do better than them.”

Eh? We're fighting Luna and Furninna? Linny's expression seemed to say so.

"You can win."

After Linnet finished speaking, she was silent for a while and raised her thumb higher.

"perhaps."

"...Ahahaha." Linnie could only respond with an awkward smile.

"Mr. Linney, Miss Linnet, everything is ready."

The opera house is a huge stage, which is not completely different from the stage they stand on when they perform. It can only be said that the difference is like heaven and earth.

Therefore, Linnie also recruited a few magic assistants to form a magic troupe.

Linnie clapped his hands: "Very good, it's time to go on stage!"

"Don't forget 'father's' mission." Linnett reminded quietly.

"Oh, my sister, don't you believe in my memory?"

“Sometimes I don’t believe it.”

Everything is ready, it's time to go on stage.

The lights came on, and the siblings Linny and Linnet appeared on the stage.

"Ok?"

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Furninna always felt that Linnet was staring at her.

First, it must be an illusion. Did she do anything that would cause others to stare at her? Okay, stop looking! Funina muttered to herself.

But actually Linnet was staring at Luna.

Their eyes met, and Luna didn't know how to react, so she could only look away slightly.

Linnet: “.............”

The sight disappears.

Luna turned her gaze back to the stage. Linnie had already finished his opening remarks to warm up the audience.

They don't use elemental forces to perform magic.

True magic is a matter of wisdom and skill...and hard work, day and night. It is not witchcraft.

But Linny's confident expression told them—it's not magic, but it's better than magic.

"Open your eyes and watch carefully!"

After simply conjuring up playing cards and pigeons, the real highlight begins.

The most eye-catching magic trick is to make something disappear, especially a person. This time, the two of them planned to use a water tank as a carrier.

"Thump, thump." Linnette sat on the water tank, which slowly descended from the ceiling.

Then the water tank stopped in mid-air.

"I want my sister to disappear into thin air."

Disappear? Funina couldn't help but shudder.

When she thought of disappearing, she thought of dissolving, and when she thought of dissolving, she thought of death.

Her thinking was so advanced at this moment that her face looked strange.

But fortunately the lights were only focused on the stage and no one saw her face...

"Lady Furninna, what's wrong with you?"

After hearing what Luna said, Clorinde also looked over.

"It's nothing, don't look at me, watch the show!" Funina said hurriedly.

How come this person always notices her changes first?

We really can't take it lightly, this is a strong enemy...

At this time, Linnet fell into the water tank. With a click, the door of the water tank closed again. No matter how hard she pushed, it didn't move at all.

The audience craned their necks.

Luna clenched her clothes slightly, but she knew that Linny and Linnet had practiced this countless times and would have a way out, so she relaxed a little.

"I didn't expect such an accident to happen, but don't worry, I'll show you my real abilities!"

With a snap of his fingers, Linnet's figure was gradually covered by rising bubbles, and finally only a set of performance clothes was left floating in the water.

But the person was gone.

"Wow!" the audience exclaimed in amazement.

"Wow!?" Furninna was startled.

"Wow." Luna blushed slightly for some reason.

Linney took off his hat and threw it to the corner of the stage.

A hand caught it, it was Linnet's.

Linnet walked out slowly, saying calmly, "I'm back."

"How does it feel to be a drowned cat?"

"It's better than not going home for a few years."

There was thunderous applause, and even Clorinde clapped slightly.

Of course she could see what was going on with her sharp eyes, but that was precisely why she admired him even more.

"It's not over yet. Next we have to select a lucky audience member to help us perform further magic of disappearance and transfer."

"Please look!"

One box was wheeled to the center of the stage, the other between the audience seats.

The theme of the second magic trick is obvious - transfer.

"The lucky audience member and I will walk into each of these two boxes, and after a minute, we will switch and walk out of each other's box."

"Let the number selection machine choose the lucky audience member!"

Device, start.

"73, the audience member number in the seventh row, please go to the box over here in the auditorium."

No. 73 was a young-looking woman who nodded slightly. After entering the box, Lini also stepped into the box in full view of everyone.

Then the countdown begins.

"Sixty...fifty-nine...fifty-eight..." the audience shouted in unison.

Finina opened her mouth. She wanted to shout along, but that would be too undignified.

The gods are full of majesty!

But it shouldn't be a problem to count with fingers. Funina placed her hands on her legs, moved her fingers slightly, and counted silently.

Bang. Suddenly, a strange sound was heard.

Clorinde and Luna raised their heads and looked towards the source of the sound.

"What's going on?" Clorinde frowned slightly.

"Um......."

Luna pondered and looked at the box in the audience seats.

"Three...two...one..."

Where the light is focused, the door of the box is wide open.

Linnie came out: "Dang! The exchange is complete!"

He pointed his finger, and fireworks on the stage were immediately sprayed and streamers fluttered, but what greeted him was not the exchanged audience member No. 73, but a falling water tank.

With a loud bang, the water tank fell down!

The water in the box slowly flows out, drawing the audience's attention to its source.

A hand was exposed outside the wooden box that had been crushed beyond its shape.

“Someone’s dead!!!”

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

The performance was suspended, the security team cordoned off the scene, and all audience members were not allowed to leave without exception.

Funina didn't expect that an accident would happen during the performance, and that she would die in such a cruel way. The corpse... needless to say, it was really a disgusting sight.

At this time, as the god Fucaros, she must say something and do something.

Use your brain, Funina, who is the biggest suspect in this situation? Funina thought for a while and turned her eyes to Lini.

Generally speaking, he is the person most likely to commit the crime.

Just as she was about to speak, Luna asked first, "Lady Furninna, can you allow me to conduct an investigation?"

"Eh? Ah..."

She's actually a detective.

Although she had no office and no license, she and Navia did solve a case.

.....It is better not to jump to conclusions without authorization, so as not to wrongly accuse others.

rather say--

Yes! Fu Nina's eyes lit up and she snorted and laughed: "Of course you can! But I am the god of justice, Fukaros..."

"So, Lord Mizukami wants to fight Miss Detective?"

"Wow, this is so hot!"

Eh? Funina blinked repeatedly.

She just wanted to hand over the task to Luna in a more exaggerated way, so how did it become a duel between her and Luna?

Is this reasonable?

"Lady Funina will definitely kill Miss Luna!"

"Seconds! Of course Miss Detective wins!"

What should I do? Funina pursed her lips.

She didn't want to duel, but if she didn't respond to the public's expectations, her performance might be questioned.

This is not how the god Fukaros should behave! ——Or something like that.

What a disappointment! — or something like that.

As the topic changed, the deceased and the nature of the case seemed to change.

Truth is the weapon, reasoning is the duel, and the result....is naturally the best drama.

Ying and Paimon also observed this development with frowns on their faces.

"There are clearly dead people, why is this happening?" Paimon whispered.
