Funina, please let me steal your heart!

"Claulinde, why are you in Lulu's bed?"

Inadvertently recalling the embarrassing situation yesterday, Clorin pulled her hat.

Although she quickly clarified that it was just a sleepover and they were just sleeping together, there was no way she could develop a relationship beyond friendship with Luna.

But she always felt that Navia's expression was very subtle.

Fortunately, Navia finally accepted it.

It's great that people can understand each other....but it may also be that Navia just has a great personality.

Clorinde glanced at Funina again. As yesterday's trial came to an end, many voices emerged.

Some people questioned: "Does the water god know nothing? She obviously created this device herself."

Some people also questioned: "If the oracle machine is wrong, then are all the judgments so far wrong? Is this reliable?"

But Clorinde would not listen to these voices.

These questioning voices can divert people's hearts and take their eyes off the truth.

She won't let other people's tongues replace her mind.

As a subordinate and bodyguard who was always by her side, she could see clearly what was going on in Furninna's heart...at least she hoped so.

"Claude, please leave first."

"...good."

Furninna gave the order, so she had to leave first.

After the door closed, Funina was the only one left in the room.

Furninna put down her knife and fork, lowered her head, and her face was reflected in the clear water in the cup.

Her expression was full of sadness and anxiety, an expression she absolutely could not let anyone see.

"Claude asked nothing," she murmured.

It's really hard for her.

The duel agent also represents the laws and justice of Fontaine, so it is impossible for Clorinde not to want to ask about the situation of the oracle.

But even if she asked, Funina couldn't give any accurate answer.

"How do I know it will convict... It doesn't make sense."

It's strange that the defendant was convicted despite a successful defense.

If she had really built the Oracle, she would have taken it apart to find out what was inside.

But she is just an ordinary person who plays the role of a god.

Funina didn't have much of an appetite, and she was just pretending to enjoy the snacks just now.

"I have to act with confidence, otherwise what I say will be easily questioned..." Funina took a sip of red tea and supported her face.

"Think about it carefully. The Oracle is a creature that can make its own judgments. Under what circumstances would it pronounce a verdict of 'guilty'?"

Furninna kept poking the fruit on the cake with her fork, seeming to be lost in thought.

But before she could think for long, she held her head and wailed.

"How can a living person like me understand machinery?"

It’s not a shadow!

Furninna leaned back in her chair and muttered, "From a common sense point of view, if a person must convict someone, it means that he wants him to disappear—"

But there is no grudge between Tartaglia and the Oracle.

"If you think about it carefully, this behavior can actually be considered a method that is beneficial to yourself."

favorable?

Could it be that the Oracle convicted the Fatui Executor because it felt... that this was beneficial?

The hair on Funina's head swayed. She crossed her hands and pondered, "But where is the benefit? Putting a Fatui executive in jail is very detrimental to Fontaine's diplomacy."

The Fatui executive officer who appears to be in charge of Fontaine's activities is a "servant" of the Fourth Seat.

If the other party knew what happened to the "young master", they would most likely take this opportunity to put pressure on him.

.......I can’t figure it out.

If only she knew better.

Furninna just felt a headache and she lay on the table.

If she hadn't gotten a good rest thanks to the Phantom Thief, she would probably have been shedding pearls for a while.

No, that's called expelling excess water elements....from the eyes!

What if the “servant” wants to negotiate?

Funina sighed deeply: "I can only bite the bullet and do it."

Fucaros cannot run away, cannot retreat, cannot be a deserter...Funina thought carelessly and couldn't help but take out the mask of the Phantom Thief.

"White cat..."

No, no, no, why should I think of that guy!

Furninna straightened up and shook her head rapidly.

Right now she could only do what she could, whether it was investigating the prophecy, observing the water level, or anything else.

Returning the thief's gift is also included.

She couldn't let anyone get close to her, even if it would make that guy sad.

"The question is how to meet the White Cat Thief."

No one knows where her cat's nest is.

If you want to see her, you can only attract her attention and let her come to you.

Attention?

"Well, this is the only way I can use."

The next day's newspaper published an interview.

《Praise from the Gods! ——The treasure that the water god loves so much》

The content is concise and clear, it is just Funina introducing the treasures she received in the past.

"My favorite is the 'Heart of the Ocean'. I found the gemstone on this necklace by chance when I was taking a walk two hundred years ago. No, it's better to say that it was born to be found by me!"

"Its brilliance shines like a star in the water, and that is the proof that it is calling me..."

[Discovered treasure information: Ocean Heart]

But Luna knew that this interview was a signal.

——Come find me.

Furninna's meaning came through clearly to her.

Therefore, Funina received a gift afterwards.

It was a box of cake with a card stuck in it.

"Miss Finina is really shy. I will be by your side anytime you want. But since you are willing to use treasures in exchange for my company, I will of course gladly accept it."

"When you miss me so much that you can't bear it anymore, I will show up and accept the little gift you prepared for me, the 'Heart of the Ocean' - your Miss White Cat."

Funina blushed slightly and muttered, "What do you mean I miss you so much that I can't stand it? How could this happen?"

Her notice letter didn't specify the time at all.

So when will she show up? At night?

"We can only wait..."

night.

Furninna looked at the clock and couldn't help muttering:

"Why hasn't she come yet?"

It's so slow.

147: Maybe I am just enduring?

Furninna had to admit that she was getting a little anxious waiting.

Why hasn't the Phantom Thief come yet?

She was ready to go to sleep at this time. She had been sitting here waiting for almost the entire night.

Forget about the Phantom Thief White Cat, there isn’t even a single cat hair to be seen!

"Is she deliberately leaving me alone?"

Deliberately leaving her there while secretly watching this side?

Furninna shuddered and looked around hurriedly. This was the situation she feared the most.

There is nothing more terrifying than being watched from behind.

She pursed her lips and found nothing.

Very good! Funina nodded.

No, how could I easily find that elusive thief? Funina's face changed again and she shook her head hurriedly.

"Hello, hey! Are you there, Kaito White Cat?"

It feels a bit silly to do this, but there is no other way.

Furninna stood up and said in a clear voice: "Don't hide, don't spy, it's just you and me now, I don't have, and I don't need to make your warning letter public to tell everyone that you will come here!"

no respond.

Furninha sighed. Could it be that she hasn't arrived yet?

Just woke up?

The Phantom Thief White Cat always acts at night, so he might be a night owl. She picked up the card on the table and read the notice again.

Because she just wanted to meet the Phantom Thief White Cat alone, she didn't tell anyone about the notice.

No guards, no traps. Just a simple invitation.

And now she was waiting in her bedroom.

Tonight, we must settle accounts with the Phantom Thief.

The thief's gift must be returned. She doesn't need and cannot have this mask.

"...I would invite a thief to my own room. I am really...sigh." Thinking of this, Furninda didn't know what to say about herself.

But the White Cat Thief would not hurt her. That was obvious.

When she was asleep, the thief tried to hurt her in countless ways, but in the end, all she saw was that gentle and elegant smile.

But Furninna wouldn't call her a lady.

After all, no lady would kiss her on the cheek! Furninna blushed when she thought about it.

"...You haven't come yet? Kaito White Cat, just this once, I want to see you!"

Suddenly, the lights went out.

Alas! ?

What's going on? Furninna shrank her head and looked around anxiously.

Wait a minute, the lights going out are often a sign of a thief's appearance! This is a major characteristic of modern thieves...

Could it be that she is coming?

Thinking of this, Furninna forgot her uneasiness and turned around to continue observing her surroundings.

"It's you, right? Show up quickly and don't play tricks. Tonight is not the time for you to go on stage." Funina said with all her might.
