Xia Worei replied, "Just call me Xia Worei. I understand, and I won't force you. But if we need your keen sense of smell in the future, please assist us."

"Okay, woof."

"Wang?"

Luna pointed to her nose and laughed, "Because I have a very keen sense of smell."

"Chiori, your friend is really interesting."

Chiori sighed, "You'll have a lot of headaches after you become close to them."

Luna wholeheartedly agreed.

It's true that if their relationship improves, it will definitely give Xia Worei a headache.

After all, she herself is a phantom thief.

“I’ll keep that in mind. But the Maiden’s Tears is now in the hands of the Phantom Thief. Is the only option to go directly to the Merchant Guild to investigate…?” Xia Worei closed her eyes and pondered.

Luna gazed at Xia Worei, who had been deep in thought for a long time, and a slight, imperceptible smile appeared on her lips.

So it happened at night.

Just as Xia Worei was about to return to her dormitory, she felt a familiar gaze and presence.

"My captain seems to be in some kind of trouble."

A lighthearted tone can be irritating.

This feeling that made her fist hard instantly was unmistakable...

Xia Worei turned her head away with a stern face.

Bathed in the clear moonlight, the phantom thief sat on the wall, slightly bent over, his face propped up, casting a tender gaze at her.

It was as if they were seeing a long-lost friend, not an enemy.

But Xia Wore would never misunderstand; she knew that every expression and glance of this deceitful cat had to be taken seriously.

Untrustworthy.

Friends? That's even more impossible. There's absolutely no way she would be friends with a phantom thief.

But she really wanted to see the phantom thief.

"Did you miss me?" Luna asked with a smile.

"I do want to see you."

"Want a kiss? You can kiss me anywhere you like."

51: I have a white cat at home

Xia Wore ignored the obvious flirting.

Whether Luna was telling the truth or not, she had no interest whatsoever.

Why would you deliberately 'expose' yourself?

"What do you mean?" Luna asked with a light laugh, swinging her leg.

Xia Worei crossed her arms and said coldly, "Don't play dumb. The face you showed in front of Navia was fake, wasn't it?"

"So that's how you found out? No wonder it's the Shadow Chasing Court."

Luna stood up, took a step forward, and began to fall, landing lightly as if the gravity of the world could no longer restrain her.

She covered her face with her hands.

“Don’t blink.”

Then gently remove the mask.

As expected, another unfamiliar face appeared before Xia Worei. She raised her hand to cover her face.

A shudder.

"Ta-da!" Luna had a new face again, but her familiar smile remained unchanged.

It can actually change its appearance anytime, anywhere.

Why is this guy becoming more and more troublesome? Has she not shown her full strength and ability before? Xia Worei's expression was calm, but her heart was in turmoil.

"The captain doesn't seem surprised at all."

"...Are you doing this to mock the Court of Justice?" Xia Worei questioned.

Luna puts her mask back on.

Do you think I'm such a boring person?

"Yes."

There wasn't even half a second to hesitate.

Luna sighed, "You really have a big prejudice against me. I don't have that much free time. The only one I want to tease is you."

Just as her slender fingertips were about to touch Xia Worei's hair, Xia Worei grabbed her wrist and fastened the silver bracelet.

"You are under arrest."

No hesitation at all.

She didn't feel the slightest bit that such a sneak attack was unjust. Xia Wore announced the result in a tone that could be described as refreshingly calm.

Luna laughed, "My heart has indeed been captured by Miss Chavory's justice, but—"

Click. The handcuffs fell off.

She shook the small key in her hand; it was the key to the handcuffs that Xia Worei always carried with her.

"You'll have to work harder to catch me."

When...? Xia Worei narrowed her eyes, staring at the handcuff key.

She was completely unaware of Luna's actions.

It was as if the key had flown into Luna's pocket by itself.

"then."

Luna casually tossed the key back, but Xia Worei caught it with a wave of her hand and silently stuffed it back into her pocket.

.....etc.

Xia Wore hooked her finger, but didn't touch the other keys.

"you....."

Luna turned her back and dangled Xia Worei's keychain: "Let's talk about the rest in your dorm room?"

Xia Worei felt a throbbing pain in her head and thought to herself that she really couldn't let her guard down against her, not even for a second.

God knows what she might do once her eyes are off her.

“I would prefer to talk to you at your home,” Xia Wore said.

"So I took your key."

Luna asked with a smile, "From now on, your home is my home too, how about that?"

"Don't steal other people's rooms, you lying cat."

Xia Worei strode forward, grabbed the keychain from her hand, roughly stuffed it into her pocket, picked up the handcuffs from the ground, and walked away without looking back.

After walking for a while, Xia Worei sighed deeply: "If you follow me and get seen, you'll be responsible."

"I think the captain is the one who should be held responsible for secretly bringing a young and beautiful girl into her bedroom late at night."

Xia Worei scoffed, "You're not human."

"That's too much."

Turning around, Luna's figure had disappeared without a trace.

"I'm following you, don't keep looking back." But I could still hear her voice.

Is this considered letting a wolf into the house?

Xia Wore had no idea; she just felt that even if she didn't do it, one day she would see the phantom thief, White Cat, in her room.

They disregard the law, yet inexplicably expect the special patrol team to uphold justice and the law.

...Let's just leave her alone.

Xia Worei sighed inwardly and walked back to the special patrol team's dormitory.

Because the special patrol team has emergency deployment situations, the team members basically live in the dormitory, and she is no exception.

"Captain, good evening! Would you like some noodles?"

Inside the hall, the team members were gathered together slurping noodles. The food in the canteen wasn't exactly delicious, so they would occasionally get together to eat something else to satisfy themselves.

Xia Wore suddenly felt nervous; she hadn't felt this way in a long time, but she knew why.

I'm taking the phantom thief back to his room... Sigh...

She was nervous and also had a headache; she might need to buy some medicine later.

Xia Worei shook her head: "I don't need to. Don't eat too much tonight."

"Okay~"

She walked up the stairs to her bedroom door. Xia Wore took out her key.

Maybe I'm doing something stupid.

Xia Worei was silent for a moment, then murmured, "But being too 'clever' doesn't help you uphold justice."

She turned the key and unlocked the door.

"Go in."

Luna suddenly appeared and casually said, "You're making it sound like I'm going to jail. You're not going to imprison me in your bedroom, are you?"
