Funina, please let me steal your heart!

Chiori grabbed Luna's face.

"I will never forgive you if it happens again."

Then he put his lips on her face. A light breath was gone in an instant.

"Okay, let's go."

Then, without any thought of looking back, she grabbed her bag and walked out of Chiori's house.

Luna quickly followed: "Why did you suddenly——"

"Can't you?"

"It's not that I can't do it, it's just that you didn't say..."

"nausea?"

"Correct."

Chizhi turned around and said, "That's why I'm unhappy, and I'm not a person who likes to endure, especially in situations that make me hold my breath."

She turned her head and frowned: "Any comments?"

Luna smiled and said, "Yes."

"explain."

"Again."

"Dream."

"Then come a few more times and let me dream about only you." Luna hooked a strand of Chizhi's hair with her fingertips.

Qianzhi shuddered all over: "I'm getting goosebumps."

"Can I touch it?"

"...You walk in front."

"No."

91: What about me?

The White Cat Thief. Furninna muttered the name.

Ever since they first met, she always had an incredible feeling, as if the other person's thoughts could respond and resonate with her own.

"'I don't want to be on the stage anymore, I don't want to be seen by others - don't look at me!'..."

She really expressed her thoughts.

But if she doesn't do it, who can?

Giving up would mean the death of countless Fontaine people, and failure would also mean destruction.

".......Being a Phantom Thief is really cool."

You can do whatever you want by putting on a mask.

This is putting on a mask, but in fact it is taking off the mask.

She is just the opposite.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the plan succeeds, once the performance of playing "Demon Fukaros" is over, she will have the freedom to express herself, take off the mask, and return to her original self...

probably.

"After all, I can't even remember what I was like at the beginning."

Finina sighed. At this moment, Sedna's voice sounded outside the door.

"Lady Funina, I have an expedited document for you!"

Expedited documents? Could it be that there is a result? Fu Nina's eyes lit up, and she quickly went to open the door, took the documents, and read them carefully.

"Hmm, I see..."

She threw the documents on the table.

"Everyone, take a look at this!"

At noon the next day, inside Qianzhi's house.

Chiori, Navia, Luna, and Xiawolei all gathered together.

The eye-catching document attracted Xiawolei's attention, but Qianzhi was more concerned about one issue.

“Why did you come to my shop to discuss this?”

Furninna folded her hands and said proudly, "Of course I need to say that. Because you won't have any guests coming here at all!"

"what?"

"I, I mean Qianzhi House is a suitable place." Finina avoided his gaze.

Inazuma women are scary.

Qianzhi sighed: "This is a clothing store. I really can't understand why you always come here and do things that have nothing to do with clothes."

"Isn't it good?" Luna smiled.

"Not at all. No guests can come."

"Then I'll buy you."

Qianzhi responded calmly: "Take her away, Xiawolei, she wants to be traded as a human being."

Luna moved behind Navia and said, "Then I'll buy Nana."

"Then you have to buy the Rose of Thorn Club as well?" Navia said with a smile.

Xia Vole glanced at Luna and did not intervene in the fight between the three.

"I didn't expect Lady Funina to come here in person. I'm very grateful. May I ask what this is?" She bowed and asked.

“No need to ask, you will understand after watching it!”

Xiawolei picked up the document and glanced at it quickly.

"Is this a research report from the Academy of Sciences?"

Fininna puffed out her chest and said, "Yes! I sent the Girl's Tears and Le Si to the Academy of Sciences for research and analysis. As I expected, the results showed that they have one ingredient that is exactly the same."

"If my reasoning is correct, this component will turn people into non-human objects!"

"As for why the people who drank Le Si didn't transform, it's probably because the amount was not large enough."

In other words: not a lethal amount.

Finina raised a smug expression and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! What do you think? Praise my wisdom! My lovely people, this must be decisive evidence."

"Keep your voice down." Chizhi said.

"Ah, well...that's it anyway." Funina suddenly spoke much softer.

"Thank you very much Lady Funina, please accept this."

Luna decisively handed a box of snacks to Funina as an offering.

"As expected of someone who will be performing on the same stage with me, you have a keen eye."

Funina took the snack, sat down on the chair, picked up the fork and started eating.

Even though he was just sending the stuff over for analysis and research, he acted as if he had made a huge contribution.

But this didn't seem inconsistent with everyone's impression of Funina, so no one else cared.

"...Did Lady Finina not sleep well?" Luna suddenly asked.

Just as Funina was about to put the snack into her mouth, she stopped when she heard the question.

Why can you see that?

"You, you are too suspicious! Don't speculate on the gods' every move, every expression, every word. Fantasizing is a taboo for detectives, isn't it?"

Luna smiled and said, "Yes, I was wrong."

"As long as you know."

Whether it was the White Cat Thief or her, she really couldn't be careless. Furninha secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, everyone else's attention was on the clue.

Navia said seriously: "As long as this ingredient increases, it can make people..."

Xiawolei groaned and said, "Well, it turns into liquid."

"I've never heard of such a thing. Generally speaking, if a person is really dissolved, shouldn't it turn into blood?"

Navia murmured, "And this is just like Fontaine's prophecy."

The three of them looked at Funina.

The snack in Funina's mouth suddenly lost its taste.

"Mrs. Furninna, do you know anything?"

"Eh? Well..."

Of course I don’t know!

While Furninna was racking her brains to think of how to broach the subject, Luna placed the tea in front of her.

"The prediction may not come true, and what is more important now is the case itself."

"indeed......"

Xia Vole continued, "Let's share the information we have obtained. I went to investigate the Carres case, mainly the manor of the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce."

Seeing that the topic had returned to the original point, Funina felt relieved.

If only she in the mirror could tell more.

But sometimes, knowing more is not necessarily a good thing.

Especially for my role.

Funina thought absentmindedly and took a sip of red tea...it was so hot!

"What did you find?" Navia asked seriously.

Xiawolei raised a finger: "If you want to dissolve the opponent at the most appropriate time, you must observe Carres, Jacques, and the third party at the same time without attracting everyone's attention."

"The only place where this can be done is the window on the second floor."

Xiawolei raised a second finger:

"There were only three people on the second floor at the time. One was Marcelle, one was a man named 'Mongette', and one...whose identity and name were unknown."

Generally speaking, the first thing people will suspect is the third party whose information is unknown.

But this would play into the other party's hands.

"It's like saying go check out this third party," Luna said.

"Yes, it's probably a cover-up," Xia Wulei agreed.

Navia raised her hand at this time.

"I have intelligence that can be further screened, or should I say, there is a chance to screen out the wrong answers."

Navia smiled and said, "Don't underestimate our intelligence network of the Rose Thorn Society. During the period of patience and waiting, I also had people investigate a lot of clues - especially the creator of the Girl's Tears."

"Its name is 'Phantom Jewel House'."

"And his name is Mungot!"

Chizhi was surprised and said, "I thought it was just a rumor to deceive children."
