Funina, please let me steal your heart!

That's how it was at the beginning.

Navia said calmly, "I just wanted to say thank you. You saved a life - even if it was in a way that caused chaos to others."

“I prefer to call it stealing the future.”

"Does it have to be said this way?" Navia wondered. Aren't they all the same meaning?

Luna shook her index finger: "You may think it means the same thing, but the essence is completely different."

"People might think that phantom thieves only steal physical things like money and jewelry."

"But that's because I wasn't born yet."

Luna stood up gently.

"I've said it before, I'm not a thief who steals everything. People like Kaito Marten who have no charm at all are just thieves in disguise of the name of Kaito."

"And I'm different."

She approaches Navia.

“Everything in the world has its own value, but what is the most valuable thing?”

"There are ten thousand different answers among ten thousand people, but they can usually be summarized into a few things."

Luna placed her hand lightly on Navia's smooth shoulders and spoke in a gentle tone.

"hope."

When Navia wanted to look at her, Luna changed her steps, slid her fingertips across Navia's skin, and turned to the other side.

He hooked Navia's chin with his fingers, asked her to look at him, and said softly:

"happiness."

Navia tried to slap her hand away, but Luna's fingertips slid down again, across her neck and onto her chest.

"The future...intangible things like that."

Navia grabbed her wrist, her face full of confusion and questioning.

"You mean you want to steal this thing....you think of it as a treasure?"

If that's true, it's really bad.

She wanted to say that, but when she thought about what Luna had just done, she vaguely felt that this might not be the case.

"Why not? This time I stole it this way, next time I might use other means to forcibly take it, and the goal is--"

Luna chuckled and said, "Maybe it's Miss Navia's heart?"

"No matter what you do, I won't do as you wish." Navia said seriously.

Steal her heart?

This was impossible to do because she had no affection for the Phantom Thief White Cat.

All I have now is curiosity and confusion.

And now, Luna gave her the answer.

Luna easily broke free from Navia's hand and continued, "I don't steal everything, but that doesn't mean I can't steal anything."

"And what kind of treasure to steal is up to me."

She just does what she wants.

"Then why are you targeting Miss Sally?" Navia brought the topic back on track, her eyes seemed to see through Luna's mask.

And the answer she got was the same as always.

"Need a reason?"

Luna bathed in the moonlight, smiled, and fell backwards.

Wait, here's what's below - Navia hurried to the edge and looked down.

Nothing at all.

The Phantom Thief disappeared without a trace.

"Is there really no reason?" Navia breathed a sigh of relief for some reason and said to herself.

At the end of the performance, who was the cause of the emotion that was revealed?

She always says there is no reason and no reason is needed, but would people really do something without a reason?

Puzzles piled up in her mind, but Navia couldn't help but think:

"Maybe it's just that no one knows what that line she draws is."

But no one knows the principles of the Phantom Thief White Cat and no one understands her thinking.

But then again, letting others understand you would only increase your risk of being exposed.

Navia sighed: "That's true."

It's not surprising that the White Cat Thief would do this.

Back home, Luna took out the card and transformed herself.

Quick dress-up!

"Oh, my fingers are so tired... I chose the difficult song just to show off my skills."

The treasure she stole tonight was not a trophy designated by the system, so of course it had no points.

But Luna didn't care about that, her thoughts were not here right now.

Alechino was there.

Just watching her in the audience.

Linnet and the others were the same. Thinking of this, Luna couldn't help but look at her hands, and past memories emerged in front of her eyes.

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

Another song ended and Alechino put down her hands.

She did not drive Luna away from her lap, but she did not continue playing either, which meant the rare warm moment was over.

Arlecchino wasn't always home, and being home didn't mean she was always available.

Luna naturally knew this, but still felt reluctant.

"Can you play another one?"

Alechino put his hand on her head, without touching it.

"I'm so sorry, I still have things to deal with next. The intelligence you brought me allowed me to determine my target for tonight, and you, Luna, you should have a good rest."

If you are injured, you need to rest well.

Otherwise it will hinder the next action.

Of course, there is no such written rule in the Hearth House, but every child will abide by it because several children have paid a heavy price for it.

".....Okay." Luna obediently left Alechino's legs.

Alechino patted his legs and stood up: "But you don't have to feel lonely. After all... she is just outside the door."

"Ok?"

There was a gleam of light in the gap of the door.

Noticing the two people's gazes, she opened the door carefully.

"Linnet?"

Linnet nodded slightly, thinking about how to explain.

But Alecino just pushed her gently: "It's your turn to teach her, Luna."

"Okay, but my hand..." Luna looked at her bandaged hand.

Linnet shook her tail: "It's okay, I have a tail."

"Can your tail replace your hands? I feel like your tail is sometimes out of your control."

"Yes. Probably."

Luna immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll teach you!"

"Ok!"

“First you have to do this, then do this.”

"...Please speak human language."

Maybe it was an illusion, or maybe it was partly embellished by memory, but at that time, Alechino's eyes seemed to have a rare softness.

After so long, the wound has healed long ago and no scar has been left.

But Luna stroked her palm gently, still wanting Alechino to apply ointment again and bandage it neatly.

"I didn't want to disappoint my mother," Sally said.

Luna leaned back in her chair and looked at the night sky.

"And I have no idea if she's disappointed in me."

89: Chizhi was born to be eaten (Part 4)

"The champion of the harpsichord competition is actually the white cat thief! ?"

At six o'clock in the evening the day before, the harpsichord ceremony was held at the Oprykle Opera House, but the winner was a surprise to everyone. The thief White Cat disguised himself as the disqualified harpsichord player Sally and won the championship.

Not only that, she also openly threw the trophy to the ground and insulted the judges in public.

Fortunately, our reporter had the honor to interview...or should we say, he was found by Lady Funina and obtained the permission for an interview from Lady God of Water.

Reporter: "Lady Furnina, why do you think the White Cat Thief did this? She didn't steal any treasures, but she said she had stolen treasures."

Furninna: "That's a good question, but asking this question shows that you know very little about Phantom Thieves!"

Furninna: "Are the so-called treasures only things with physical form? Of course not. For the White Cat Thief, other people's hearts are also a kind of treasure."

Reporter: "You mean she wanted to steal..."

Funina: "Without a doubt, it's the audience's gaze!"

Many industry insiders said that Mr. Odfin often gave low scores without reason to attract traffic.

Mr. Odfin refused to be interviewed, claiming to be suffering from depression, and later gave a public interview to apologize to the players he had criticized.

The organizers will consider revoking Mr. Odfin's qualification as a judge.

At the same time, countless contestants expressed that they were moved by the performance and speech of Kaito White Cat.

Unknown contestant No. 1: "She spoke my mind!"

Unknown contestant No. 27: "From now on, everyone should give the middle finger to things you don't like!"

Unknown judge: "I really want to listen to the performance of Kaito again. If I don't listen to it for one day, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body. Ugh, it's so itchy!"

And the ownership of the ceremony trophy became an issue.

The organizers believe that it should be given to the contestant who won the second place in the ceremony.

But the proposal has been met with widespread criticism and resistance.

An unknown runner-up: "Don't give it to me. I don't want it. She won it fairly. Why would I want to take advantage of this hot potato?"

An unknown third-place contestant: "Damn it, if you are shameless, I will not participate in this ceremony anymore!"

An unknown organizer: "Where can I find this thief?!"

The latest suggestion at present is to follow the card left by the white cat thief and give the trophy to Lady Funina.

However, the lawyers in the enforcement court argued endlessly about whether this statement was valid.

Mr. Mike, a five-star crime expert, said:
