That'll do.

She would never forget that beach, that moonlight, but at the end, before the final judgment, she would forever be the demon god Fucarus.

All you need to do is watch how she performs on stage!

The phantom thief, White Cat, can only be a spectator.

The same goes for Luna.

“Miss Funina, your words have only piqued my interest more,” Luna said, her face slightly flushed.

"what?"

Luna smiled and said, "The more you hate me, the more satisfied I feel with your teasing."

That's such a terrible personality!

The more you dislike her, the more she likes you?

This...this is simply too much, too unbeatable! Funina was shocked, and at the same time couldn't help but feel envious.

It's good to be able to face yourself honestly and openly.

No, we can't let ourselves be led by the nose.

Today, she must draw an insurmountable line in front of the phantom thief, allowing no one to approach.

“Miss Funina, you may have forgotten something.” Luna smiled gently.

But what she said startled Funina.

"My only goal is the treasure."

"And you, my lovely Miss Funina, as I said, are the treasure of Fontaine."

Luna lifted Funina's chin and stroked down her smooth, delicate neck with a gentle and tender touch, leaving Funina flustered.

"sound."

Her fingertips lightly touched Funina's eyelashes, causing them to tremble slightly.

"Eyes".

Then it slowly slid down her face and landed on her lips.

"Lips."

Finally, the chest area.

"And the heart."

Funina's eyes widened slightly, then she looked away, only to have Luna cup her face again, making it impossible for her not to look at her no matter how hard she tried.

"Miss Funina's every move reveals your brilliance, making it impossible for me to look away, listen to your voice, or not be captivated by your figure."

That was just the image I was supposed to portray as Fucarus, Furina thought.

“Miss Fulina should know that even things seen with one’s own eyes cannot necessarily be trusted.”

Even things you touch with your own hands may not be real.

"But I believe in the beauty that I feel belongs to Miss Funina, and I am fascinated by it."

Beautiful? Me? A hint of confusion and embarrassment flashed in Funina's eyes.

Luna smiled and said, "I'd rather take it and keep it for myself."

To seize or appropriate for oneself?

Funina saw Luna bring her face closer and whisper, "I just want to get the treasure called 'Funina'."

So close, way too close! Is he going to kiss my cheek again? No, no, no, no!

"Therefore, no matter what Miss Funina thinks, it will not affect everything I am going to do."

Fu Ningna was taken aback again.

Is this the truth?

Or is it just another lie?

"Whether you like me or hate me, the phantom thief White Cat will still exist in this world and will continue to steal all the treasures."

She will not be swayed by anyone's will.

She will always be under the spotlight, bathed in countless gazes, but her performances are not for anyone else, but only for herself.

"Therefore, Miss Funina need not worry."

"Don't worry about it."

Whether you like it or not, I will come to your side.

Luna blinked: "Maybe in the future, Miss Funina will want to see me every day?"

“That’s impossible,” Fu Ningna said firmly.

...Even if she wanted to draw a line separating them, she would step in without hesitation.

Funinna instantly realized that all her efforts were in vain.

Because the phantom thief white cat won't listen to her. You can't expect a cat that likes to steal things to listen to people.

What should I do? Funina felt lost.

No, it's her business what she wants to do... I just need to keep playing my part and keep my distance from others.

If she wants to come closer, I'll back off; it's that simple.

"No matter what you want to do, I, Fucaros, will not grant your wish."

Whether she likes it or not, the existence of someone named Funina will stay away from her.

149: The heart does not lie, Miss Funina (4th update)

Luna remained unfazed by Funina's stern and decisive response.

"Please accept my mask. It is a gift from me. How you treat it is up to you, but I hope you will cherish it."

"After all, this is the first one I've ever made, and it took me quite a long time to complete."

The first one? Funina looked at the smooth, jade-like mask in her hand in surprise.

"...I don't want to accept it."

Such an important thing. She doesn't want it.

"Then please throw it away. I will not accept any returned gifts either."

Throwing away something that held special meaning for her?

Furnessa couldn't do that. If this were mass-produced, she would... she would...

Throw it in a box and let it gather dust; it'll gather dust for the rest of its life!

No, it means being buried under a tree and eating dirt for the rest of your life!

She suddenly understood Luna's intention and couldn't help but ask: You didn't just give it to me because you knew I wouldn't lose it, did you?

If that's the case, then it's incredibly despicable!

Funina pursed her lips slightly and clenched the mask in her hand.

"How cunning."

Luna sat on Funina's bed and chuckled, "Then shall we punish me? I promise I'll lie obediently on the bed and let Miss Funina do whatever she wants with me."

"Hmph, I won't believe you." Funina turned her face away.

Anyone who believes her is a fool.

If she dares to overpower the Phantom Thief White Cat, she might be the one getting what's coming to her next.

Besides, she had already decided to keep her distance from this guy.

Her invitation? Rejected.

Her flirting? Ignore it.

Her words? Cover your ears.

If you don't listen or watch, even the phantom thief White Cat will realize he's just making a fool of himself.

Funina nodded to herself, thinking it was an excellent idea.

“Then, Miss Funina, although I would like to spend more time with you, please allow me to take my leave now.”

"Eh?"

Leaving now?

Luna stood up and picked up the necklace that Funina had placed on the table.

This is the "heart of the ocean," with a dazzling aquamarine gemstone embedded within, complemented by a teardrop-shaped outer shell—it is undeniably exquisite.

Funina had no objection to her actions.

They invited her with treasures, and a god should keep his word.

Anyway, the jewelry was useless to her; the gemstones inside were something she found in the water while taking a walk—it was practically free. She wouldn't feel bad about it.

But if it were a phantom thief trying to steal her cake, she would be the first to jump up and say no.

"Has Miss Funina ever worn this necklace?"

"Never mind...no, I don't need to answer you. Now that you've obtained the treasure, you should leave as promised and never come back," Funina snorted.

No matter what the other party says, she must stand firm and stick to her own ideas—say no to the phantom thief!

Luna, clutching the necklace, walked toward Funina.

Wait, why is she getting so close?

"W-what do you want to do?"

"Don't be afraid. I always treat my treasured possessions very well, and Miss Funina is naturally someone I cherish and value as well."
