There are even assessments that say there is no security strength and no operational visibility?

But that was indeed the case, and Funina didn't warn her. It was just a small rendezvous with the gods, hardly a phantom thief's activity.

Just consider it as earning some extra money.

【Heart of the Ocean】

[Intelligence: Two hundred years ago, while strolling on the beach, Furna stumbled upon a naturally formed gemstone. Even without polishing, it possessed an astonishingly smooth shape. She then set this gemstone into a teardrop-shaped necklace, naming it "Heart of the Ocean."]

[The owner of a certain jade pavilion once wanted to buy the necklace for his collection, but was unsuccessful.]

[Item Rarity: A]

[Fixed points: 300]

After playing with it for a while, Luna put it into her storage space.

Ever since Luna realized what Funina was hiding, the more she spent time with her, the more she vaguely sensed the layers of barriers beneath her face.

She wouldn't let anyone near her.

But as Luna just said.

No matter what Funina thinks, it won't affect anything she's going to do.

"After all, I'm a phantom thief." Luna lay on the bed and took out a picture card.

The image reflected above is of Funina's sleeping face.

Funina was naturally unaware of the existence of this picture, because it was taken while Funina was asleep.

In the picture, Funina's sleeping face is peaceful and serene, completely unlike her usual exaggerated behavior. Rather than a high and mighty goddess, she is more like a pure and innocent girl.

"What are you hiding, Miss Furina?"

The unusual behavior of the oracle may be indicating that fate is heading towards its end.

But even though fate has already decided her fate, it doesn't prevent her from making a choice.

As Arecino said, she only follows her heart and makes her own choices, whether good or bad, regardless of the will of others.

"Perhaps I'll be on your side, Miss Funina?"

It's also possible that he's standing opposite her.

Whether this is truly the case remains to be seen.

Luna decided to leave the answer to this question to her countless selves tomorrow.

Now she simply closed her eyes and smiled slightly:

Good night, Miss Funina.

151: Miss Luna wants to be proposed to?

Inside the Steambird newspaper office.

It was another sunny morning. Charlotte covered her mouth and yawned, stirring her coffee a few times with a spoon. Several sugar cubes quickly dissolved in it.

She can't eat spicy food, nor does she like bitter food, but how can she wake up after staying up all night writing without drinking some coffee?

Sleep? She'd like to... but unfortunately, she still had a manuscript to finish.

"Charlotte, are you free?"

"Huh? Miss Ou Fu?"

Looking back, I saw the editor-in-chief, Ou Fu, walking briskly towards me.

Charlotte asked curiously, "What is it? Do you have some work for me to do?"

"No, it's about the 'phantom thief mania' phenomenon that you're investigating."

The Phantom Thief Mania – this is Charlotte's general term for the current state of Fontainebleau and the obsession many people have with the Phantom Thief White Cat.

She admitted that the phantom thief, White Cat, had indeed done several good deeds, even great ones.

But a crime is a crime!

Merits are merits, and faults are faults; both must be clearly stated. Good points should be praised, and bad points should be criticized; only then can it be considered a complete report.

It's inappropriate to overpraise the Phantom Thief White Cat or overpraise him.

Reporter Charlotte serves only the truth and never misses an exclusive story.

Her keen intuition allowed her to catch a glimpse of something amiss: the phantom thief, White Cat, wouldn't act like a kind neighbor helping an elderly person or rescuing a cat...

I'm not an adventurer.

What's wrong with what I'm investigating?

Ou Fu sighed, "Look at this."

She took out a letter and handed it to Charlotte.

letter?

Charlotte had a bad feeling, but what kind of storms hadn't this reporter seen?

She's received both threatening and warning letters several times.

Of course, the one thing she didn't want to receive was a pre-announcement letter.

Charlotte shuddered at the thought of being teased by the phantom thief, White Cat. The feeling of being completely devoured was truly dangerous.

I opened the letter and took a look.

"Stop your sycophantic behavior, or we'll burn your house down! We, the fans of the Phantom Thief, will never allow you to do that!"

It was indeed a threatening letter.

Not again? Charlotte wasn't afraid, she just felt a headache coming on.

"So... what does Miss Ou think?"

Ou Fu crossed her arms: "I've already contacted the security forces."

"...Can they be relied upon?"

It wasn't that Charlotte had a problem with them, but rather that their previous performance had been truly awful.

It's normal that they can't catch the phantom thief; even Captain Xia Wore of the Special Patrol Team always gets the short end of the stick!

Moreover, the training and discipline of the security team are inferior to those of the special patrol team.

But the fact that an internal traitor infiltrated the organization, nearly causing its disintegration and killing of ordinary citizens is truly indescribable.

"It's hard to say, so I contacted the captain of the special patrol team again. She said she would change the special patrol team's training route, so your safety would be guaranteed."

Ou Fu laughed and said, "That captain only ever gets thrashed by the Phantom Thief White Cat."

If Xia Wore is invincible, then the Phantom Thief White Cat is an enemy from the heavens.

"Don't let this get out, or Miss Charlotte will be angry," Charlotte said helplessly.

She touched the rim of the cup.

"What about my report?"

"Let's stop for now. Sending you this letter might seem uncultured, but it's probably intentional; you're not some nobody. I know you're quick-witted and always manage to escape danger, but sometimes you need to wait for the right opportunity."

Charlotte leaned against the table and sighed deeply.

"Okay, you've convinced me. I'll report on something else for a while."

Ou Fu smiled: "Reporting on a phantom thief?"

"No, no, no, I don't want to run into her! You have no idea how much she likes to tease girls. If you run into her, she might grope you all over!"

But the words came back again.

Charlotte picked up her cup, took a sip of coffee, and wondered: What does the phantom thief White Cat himself think about this phenomenon? And what will he do?

I have absolutely no idea!

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

There were no guests in the Chiori shop; only the sounds of Chiori using her sewing machine and Luna turning pages filled the air.

"Chiki".

"what?"

"Aren't you going to take out that white outfit and have it made?"

Chiori glanced at her and said calmly, "I don't have time. I'll do it when I have time. There's no use rushing it."

"I'm not in a hurry."

Luna stood up, picked up a box of cookies from the coffee table, and came up behind Chiori.

She bent down, biting into a cookie, her gaze sweeping across the design sketches before finally settling on the unfinished garment.

"Is this a wedding dress?"

"Yes, someone has an engagement dress."

"Inazuma-hito?"

This style looks exactly like Inazuma's.

Chiori replied casually, "Inazuma and Fontaine are a perfect match, and they don't point fingers at me. Such guests are truly comforting."

As he spoke, a cookie appeared out of the corner of his eye.

Chiori took a bite, chewed it up in a few bites, and swallowed it.

Has Chiori ever thought about getting married?

"No, How about you?"

Luna wiped the crumbs from Chiori's mouth and said with a smile, "Chiori proposed to me, so maybe I'll accept? Anyway, the laws of Fontaine don't seem to say it's forbidden."

"That's wishful thinking. Go back to reading your book."

"Alright, well, speaking of which, the prisoner is—"
