Funina, please let me steal your heart!

As soon as the curious thought flashed through her mind, Navia put her hand on her chest.

and many more.

"Breathe in!"

Luna wanted to protect her chest: "What are you doing?"

"Prepare in advance. Okay, come on, do as I say, breathe in--"

Luna reluctantly did as she was told and took a deep breath. In addition to the ancient atmosphere and fragrance of the opera house, there was also a hint of elegant perfume.

"Breathe out."

"....Then?"

Navia pushed the door open: "Then run!"

"Eh? Wait—"

"start running!"

Navia dragged Luna along, holding up her skirt with one hand and ran away. Luna had to keep up with her pace.

"Hey, they ran away!"

"Catch up with them!"

"Ms. Navia, Ms. Luna, we are from XX newspaper......!"

"Hurry up and write like this, just write "The Rose Club's Young Lady Elopes with a Newcomer", yes, yes, take a photo! Heat is the life of news!"

"Beep, beep - if those reporters over there don't stop, I'm going to detain you!"

"You, you, you, and you, you, all of you, go to jail!"

At the front was Navia running and Luna being dragged.

Behind him were the chasing reporters, flash lights and the sounds of cameramen.

Behind them was a group of Melusins ​​stationed here, whistling and chasing...

At this moment, Luna only felt...

so slow!

It would be better to let her run away on her own.

"Well, I can't run fast like this... I have no choice, just bear with it!"

"Ok?"

Navia suddenly exerted force with her hands and pulled Luna towards herself.

Then he reached down and picked her up. In the blink of an eye, Luna went from being the one being pulled to being the one being held.

"Haha, this is much faster!"

Navia laughed hearty yet cutely.

But Luna couldn't laugh.

The Phantom Thief being carried by the young lady like a princess looks weird no matter how you look at it.

Kids, this is not funny.

"Lulu, hold on to this side, otherwise you'll fall easily." Navia pointed to her neck.

At this point, Luna had no choice but to put her arms around Navia's neck and hold her gently.

Isn't this a bit...weird?

31: Sheep entering tiger’s mouth (meaningful)

The headquarters of the Thorn Rose Society is located in Baisong Town, but its stronghold is on the Gray River below Fontaine.

Gray River is actually a city within a city located in the sewer.

The sewers in Fontaine are well-connected, and they are not dirty or smelly, they can even be said to be clean.

The city built on this sewer has a great history and is an extremely important part of Fontaine's history.

Many plays are based on the history of Huihe River, performing one epic story of resistance after another.

But to say that it is glamorous is not correct.

It can be called orderly, but that is only order on the surface.

Maybe you'll find a bloody pistol in the corner, maybe you'll hear a fight at midnight...even if the Thorn Rose Society's base is here.

What's more, the power of the Rose Thorn Society is no longer as strong as before.

"This way. I'm hungry after running for so long, hehe." Navia continued to pull Luna forward.

"I think it's okay to let go."

"Hmm? Do you hate it when someone holds your hand?"

"Not annoying, but too long."

Navia didn't seem to think that was the case, but she still let go of her hand.

"I think it's okay for good partners to hold hands for a long time, but think about it, your hands might sweat, so let them cool down for a while."

Navia led Luna to a house.

Although it looks a bit shabby, it can be called a "mansion" compared to other houses in Huihe, and this is the base of the Thorn Rose Society in Huihe.

"Welcome to the base of the Thorn Rose Society!"

"It looks pretty good." Luna smiled.

"Right? But if we had money, we could make it look better, but unfortunately..." Navia's words were full of regret.

The case of former president Cares caused a severe drop in the reputation of the Rose of the Thorn Society.

The Rose Thorn Society was founded and has survived to this day relying on the support of the masses.

They do not rely on businesses that are against morality and law, nor do they do things that are harmful to others but can make huge profits. They are open and honest.

But it is precisely such a good reputation that will be completely destroyed when a landslide occurs.

It is difficult to be a good person, this is exactly the reason.

"A considerable part of our income comes from the support of the people who support us, but as for reputation, it's easy for a good reputation to leave, but it's easy for a bad reputation to come in."

"After my father passed away, I took over the Thorn Rose Society, but it is completely different from before. It's been a comeback... now it's a bit of a struggle just to maintain it, and I can only blame myself for my lack of ability." Navia sighed.

Luna said: "It's hard to be a good person in this world."

"But someone has to be the boss." Navia said seriously.

She pinched her cheeks and pulled herself together.

"Okay, I won't say such depressing words. After all, I have met a good partner like you, Miss Detective Lulu. I can't be dejected. Come this way, let me show you my cooking skills!"

Navia pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hi boss."

"Miss, you are back."

New members will call her boss.

The older members who watched her grow up habitually call her Miss.

"Have Silver and Myles returned?"

"not yet."

Navia nodded: "Okay, the kitchen is over here."

When they arrived in the kitchen, Navia pushed Luna to the dining table, then pressed her shoulders and asked her to sit down.

Without asking her what she wanted to eat, he started beating the eggs skillfully.

I thought she was going to make a simple omelette, but Navia took out sugar and almonds.

Soon, a freshly baked, delicious macaron was placed in front of Luna.

"To be honest, what I'm best at is making desserts. How about these macarons? Don't they make you hungry?"

As she spoke, Navia brought up two cups of black tea.

Luna exclaimed: "Indeed, your craftsmanship looks very good. If you open a dim sum shop, you might be able to make a lot of money."

"Thank you for the compliment. If I hadn't become the guild president, I might have given it a try..."

Navia sat opposite, with her hands on her chin, her smile full of anticipation.

"Eat it first and see how it tastes. If it tastes good, I'll bring you more next time as a souvenir for the performance."

Navia's smile is always contagious, and Luna couldn't help but smile as well: "You have to come and see my performance, then I can happily accept it."

“I will definitely go and see it.”

Luna picked up the macaron and stuffed it into her mouth.

Although she calls herself a white cat, she doesn't have a cat tongue.

The soft texture, sweet taste, and the smile on the other side made Luna chew while giving a thumbs up with both hands.

"How many points?"

"Full marks."

Navia moved the hair beside her face: "Well, just as I expected. My intuition tells me that Lulu, you must like desserts very much."

Not really that fond of it.

Luna took a sip of black tea and started chatting with Navia.

"The case is over. What do you think will become of your troupe? After all, the screenwriter caused such a vicious incident."

Luna sipped her tea: "Not very good."

Navia wondered, "Why? Reputation is something that is hard to get back once it's lost."

“There are many solutions.”

There are plenty of ways to do this, such as changing the troupe's skin and reorganizing it, or simply splitting it up.

"After all, it was only the screenwriter who got into trouble, not to mention..."

Luna pressed her chest lightly and smiled.

"The protagonists who solved this case are you and me, a fellow member of the troupe, and a father who was accused of injustice... With a little publicity, the flow of events will change."

The intelligence channels available to ordinary people are limited. Whoever controls these channels can get the "truth."

"But this can't prove my father's innocence." Navia stroked the teacup.

"Of course there is nothing I can do, but you have protected the Thorn Rose Society that your father left behind. I think he will be happy to know that."

Navia chuckled and said, "Well.....well, I don't think he will show it. He has always been like this, never saying what he thinks in his heart."

Navia leaned back in her chair, raised her head, and let out a long breath.

She was silent for a while.

"Why did you say that the White Cat Thief attacked the Le Si trafficking gang before?"

What a sudden question.

But Luna just responded nonchalantly: "I don't know, maybe it was just a whim."

She acted like a passerby who didn't care about the matter. Navia looked at her without any doubt, but there was still a thoughtful light in her eyes.

"'The Phantom Thief of Justice?' That's what the newspaper said, with a question mark."

"Seems to be."

Navia leaned forward: "What do you think?"
