Funina, please let me steal your heart!

Luna hugged Xiawolei's neck and said in a low voice, "It will make people misunderstand."

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

Xiawolei glanced around and it seemed that someone had noticed what was happening between them.

"Mom, what are they doing?"

"Let's improve our friendship..."

Xia Volei showed a rare expression of embarrassment, and she sighed, her breath hitting her skin, tickling it.

"...Let's go somewhere else."

"Where's your date?" Luna asked with a smile.

"Don't say it in such a misleading way. I'll ask her to wait a moment."

Xiawolei turned around and snorted, "After all, you want me to cooperate with you, don't you?"

"It's really as predictable as a god."

".....But I don't understand you even more. Also, remember to return the waiter's uniform."

Xia Vole walked back into the store without looking back. Luna spread her hands. What else could she say?

After returning the waiter's uniform, Luna waited outside the store. After a while, Xiawolei returned to Luna's sight, with her thumb pointing south.

"Let's go to the port."

The port is bustling with people coming and going, so it can hardly be called quiet.

But in such a bustling place, there is often a quiet space hidden in the corner.

Luna leaned against the guardrail and put the fries into her mouth.

"Do you want to eat it? It's not poisonous."

Xiawolei ignored it, even though Luna kept poking the fries in the corners of her mouth, which annoyed her.

As the damp wind blew past, Xia Wulei asked, "Why?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Don't play riddles with me."

"Then—"

"Don't tell me 'no reason'. I won't believe you."

Xiawolei further refuted: "You always do things with a purpose. You publicly humiliated the judges on the stage before, was it also for that woman named Sally?"

This kind of thing can be deduced with a little investigation.

What's more, Navia also told her.

Luna bit off half of a French fry and said, "Ms. Xiawolei really likes to make up characters for others."

Xia Vole's gaze pierced her skin, and although it was not meant as an interrogation, it was indeed cold enough to make her feel uncomfortable.

"Take a bite and I'll tell you." But Luna was not afraid. Instead, she held out the half piece of French fry.

".....Give me a new one."

"I do not want."

Chavore sighed.

Rather than being mad at this guy, she wanted to know why.

So she took half of the French fry, hesitated for a second, and put it in her mouth. Of course, it only tasted like fried potatoes, without anything else mixed in.

But somehow it was still a little hard for her to swallow.

"I just want to steal her treasure."

"Being a sinner who isn't honest is still a sinner, and it doesn't make you lovable," said Xiawolei.

Luna looked up and said, "If you don't believe me, forget it. I have no reason to make everyone believe everything I say and do."

"Rather, the one who believes in the Phantom Thief is a fool."

She licked the crumbs off her fingers and chuckled, "Are you right, my silly little captain?"

It's more of a provocation than a tease.

But Chavore's expression remained the same.

"It's not up to you to decide whether you believe it or not. Answer my original question."

Luna turned around and shook the fries in her hand. "What's the problem? The time spent with the captain was so comforting that I almost forgot why we came here."

“Why make yourself a target?”

Luna turned her head and looked at Xiawolei.

"Are you overthinking it?" she sighed.

Seeing her so disappointed, Xiawolei thought that maybe his reasoning was wrong.

But she pulled herself back to consciousness.

"Don't think of me as I was at the beginning. You want to take the credit, and it won't do you any good to take all the credit for yourself."

"Because you are a sinner who has no support from Fontaine."

No medals, no commendations, and no bonuses.

Only fame.

Luna held her face in her hands, nodded as if appreciating Xia Vole's reasoning, and said, "Then what if I want fame?"

"That's even more impossible. You won't accept anyone's expectations, and fame means nothing to you either."

Luna held up her finger.

"What?" Xiawolei frowned.

"Take a bite and I'll tell you the answer."

Xia Wo Lei slapped it away with her backhand and whispered, "You want the mastermind behind this to target you."

Luna stared into Xiawolei's eyes.

The determination that shone in it was so fascinating. It was far better than any gem Luna had ever seen, and the thought of caring for it and kissing it flashed through her mind.

Unfortunately, Xiawolei would never allow her to do so.

"Is Mademoiselle Chavore too attentive to my affairs? Will you allow me to speak openly?"

"explain."

Luna looked indifferent: "Does this have anything to do with Miss Xiawolei?"

"Have."

Xia Wulei said with unexpected finality.

A smile appeared on Luna's face: "What's the relationship?"

"You need me to help you with your lie."

as well as.....

Xiawolei grabbed Luna's wrist: "——The only one who can catch you is me."

98: Don’t say forever, my captain lady

Luna opened her eyes slightly.

I'm the only one who can catch you? It sounds like...

"Proposal?"

Xiawolei's eyes were sharp: "How is that possible? If you want a reason, then I will give you the most appropriate reason, that's all."

"Ms. Xiawolei, you hurt me a little." Luna moved her wrist.

"you need me."

Chavore stated the facts.

She did need Xiawolei, but to be precise, what she needed was...Luna raised her other hand and gently slid her fingertips across Xiawolei's delicate lips.

"It is Mademoiselle Chavore's mouth that I need."

"It all means the same thing."

If she didn't want to, she wouldn't have spoken as Luna wanted.

The initiative is now in her hands.

"And all I want is the truth." Xiawolei let go of her hand.

Luna rubbed her wrist and smiled: "The truth is simple, I'm tired of it."

She put her hands behind her back, took a step forward and turned around briskly, her skirt swaying.

"I'm tired of boring games. I want to get all the treasures of that guy named Vash."

Xia Wulei looked suspicious: "Really?"

"if not?"

Luna turned around, suddenly leaned close to his face, and her breath was as sweet as orchid.

"Ms. Chavore, do you think I did this for someone?"

Xiawolei looked away: "No, I don't think so."

And it doesn't really matter.

No matter what the thief's purpose was, what she did undoubtedly protected Navia and the others.

Xiawolei was silent for a moment.

Luna snapped her fingers: "What should the most gorgeous performer on Miss Chavore's stage be like?"

"....have no idea."

She seldom goes to the theatre.

As captain of the special patrol team, she sees several tragic dramas every month.

There is no need to watch the story played out on stage.

"The answer is an upright appearance."

"Only mean people would want to hide in the shadows, but I will stand where the light is brightest and be the center of attention."

Luna curled up her lips into a smile: "Then I will knock them all down magnificently. Defeat them. Make sure they can never look directly at my light again."

"My lovely captain, do you understand now?"

It's like saying, if the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, then let my "light" shine so brightly that the enemy will have nowhere to hide.

But the word arrogant cannot be used to describe her.

Because she can.

The brighter she is, the more alert the enemy will be to her, and all their attention will be focused on her.

But there is no need to warn of its dangers.

"....Have you had this plan in mind for a long time?" Xia Wulei asked.

Luna shook her head.

"No?"

"You are not qualified to ask any more questions."

Not qualified? Xiawolei raised her eyebrows, but was not surprised at all.
