"Then I'll just have to wipe away my tears and go back sadly."

Who believes it!

Funina scoffed, "I'd like to see you cry."

"Then make me cry?"

"You...don't keep saying that!" Funina's face turned bright red.

Luna smiled in the mirror: "Come here, take one step forward."

Funina pursed her lips, feeling that the rhythm was completely controlled by the white cat, but... without an "audience," she didn't need to engage in a battle of wills with the phantom thief.

Just keep the original role-playing mode.

Take a step forward. But keep your steps steady, without fear, and stand tall.

"Take another step forward."

Take another step forward.

Funina stopped in front of the mirror.

"Now reach out your hand, close your eyes, count to three silently, and pull me up at the last second."

Reaching out her hand? What does she want to do...?

Funina's heart raced, and she became nervous, but she still slowly extended her right hand and closed her eyes.

"Don't even open your eyes a crack!"

How did you know I wanted to do that? Funina was secretly surprised.

Her face flushed as she said, "No way! Who do you take me for?"

"Let's start counting silently now."

three.

Funina sensed the approaching presence.

two.

She felt the touch of fingertips; it landed on her palm, manipulating her hand and making her palm face upwards.

It's so itchy.

One.

A hand gently grasped her palm, its slender fingers enveloping it, and even through the gloves, she could feel that familiar warmth.

At the last second, she gave her a gentle pull... Funina gently applied the force. A click echoed as her boots hit the ground.

Upon opening her eyes, Funina saw Luna.

Luna raised her hand and placed it on her palm, like a lady invited to dance, the smile beneath the mask just as it had been before.

"Now you've pulled me out of the mirror."

She lifted Funina's hand and gently kissed the back of it.

Even through the gloves, the softness of her lips couldn't be concealed. Funina couldn't help but look away.

Good evening, lovely Miss Funina.

Funina's eyes flickered, and her cheeks flushed slightly: "Good evening... By the way, was that really a mirror?"

Luna snapped her fingers lightly.

The mirror disappeared.

“Your mirror is over here. That was my carefully prepared entrance for you.” She gestured to a full-length mirror in another corner.

Did she make it with elemental power? Just like the ropes and lights that appeared out of thin air on stage before...

Funina withdrew her hand and touched her palm: "Can't you just show up normally?"

"For a phantom thief, the abnormal is the normal. Or would you rather I sneak into your bed and say hello to you while you're sleeping?"

"It'll scare me to death... I mean, it'll make me angry!" Funina exclaimed.

"So it's better this way after all?"

Luna hooked her finger and pinched a strand of hair near Funina's face.

"Forgive me, Miss Funina's date made me so happy that I wanted to do something different from usual."

Funina immediately denied it: "It's not a date."

"But you want to see me, don't you?"

That's right.

Luna released her hand, gently lifted it, and the lights returned to normal, making the room bright again.

Is she some kind of god who controls lights? Funina couldn't help but want to complain.

"To be honest, Miss Funina is not the first person to try to lure me here with treasures, but I really didn't expect you to not even have a single guard."

"That beautiful duel agent lady is not here either."

Luna drew back the curtains, bent over with her hands behind her back, and smiled: "Miss Funina, aren't you afraid I might do something to you?"

"Hmph, don't underestimate me. If you dared to do it, you would have done it long ago."

Luna leaned closer to Funina, her breath sweet as orchids: "Perhaps I'm just enduring it?"

Chapter 148: A Chase Between Gods and Phantom Thieves (3rd Update)

The faint fragrance that wafted towards her made Funina take a step back.

Tolerance? You think you've tolerated her kissing your cheek?

Funina's expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Then you must continue to endure it! Don't, absolutely don't let the devil in your heart win you over!"

Otherwise, she'll be in trouble!

"Okay, well, I'm a very obedient and good cat."

Wow, that's shameless.

She's considered obedient? Back then, 99% of the people in the world were obedient good children.

Fulina took a breath: "Let's get straight to the point, Phantom Thief White Cat. This is why I'm looking for you."

She took out a mask.

"You want to be a phantom thief too?"

"...How could that be!"

Luna teased, "Oh dear, what a subtle silence."

She removed the mask from her own face and placed it over Funina's face.

"It suits you perfectly, Miss Funina. Why don't you really consider becoming a phantom thief?"

"Unbound by anyone, unexpected by anyone, acting solely for the treasure in one's eyes..."

Utterly pure.

The lingering warmth of the mask made Funina uncomfortable, so she took it off.

"I don't want to! I am the God of Justice!"

She pointed at Luna: "And you are the wicked and sinful Phantom Thief White Cat. You have already committed many sins, stealing so many treasures, and now you want to incite others to fall into depravity... This is adding insult to injury!"

But in reality, her sins might not be as great as the sins I committed.

Funina thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile—if we're talking about sinners, then wasn't she also committing a heinous crime by disguising herself as a god and deceiving the people of Fontainebleau for five hundred years?

Even after the role ends, can she really be "Furina" again?

A blank thought flashed through her mind, but under Luna's gaze, Funina was pulled back to her senses.

"...And how long do you plan to keep using Luna's face?"

Luna smiled and said, "I really like her face, so I might keep using it, or perhaps Miss Funina would like me to change it?"

She wiped her face lightly, and her appearance changed to that of an unfamiliar person.

No matter how many times she watched it, Funina still found it outrageous.

Nothing is harder to catch than a phantom thief who can change his appearance at will.

"Don't use her face," Funina whispered.

"Why? Because you're friends?"

"not friend."

Luna chuckled and said, "She might be sad if she heard you say that."

"She's not someone who's easily influenced by others... She's dazzling."

And undeniably, the white cat is the same.

Could they be the same person?

But Luna and the Phantom Thief White Cat had appeared together in the previous capture plan... Thinking of this, Funina dismissed her doubts.

"Put on the mask, and I'll give this back to you too."

Luna lowered her head and looked at the mask in her hand.

"You said this was a gift for me, but I don't need it—"

After a moment of silence, Funina made up her mind.

Since I've decided to keep my distance from everyone, I might as well be a little more serious about it.

Even the phantom thief White Cat would definitely back down if he found it difficult!

"I do not need any gifts from you, sinner. I, Fucarus, as the god of justice, declare that I am your sworn enemy. Do not come near me again!"

Funina said coldly, "Justice and evil cannot coexist. Until your sins are accounted for, I will tell you countless times—I hate you."
