Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

If you can get the exact same amount of rice as in the previous book, you've won.

The results for Liyue's book look good, but it's making it almost impossible for me to afford food, so I can only give a so-so opinion on the results of this book.

There will be more updates after it's published, but there will be no reward.

Because I can't afford to pay it back! I have absolute confidence in this.

In short, please continue to support me. I need motivation to write.

54: Isn't she a fan of mine, Fucaros? (First update)

Back home, Luna removed her mask.

"I wish I could stay longer, but she would definitely be angry."

She took out Xia Worei's eye mask and examined it carefully.

【Xia Wore's Eye Mask】

[Intelligence: The eye patch that Chavorei always wears is made of good quality material, is of good texture, and is quite breathable. Although she has many spare eye patches, this one has been with her the longest.]

[Item Rarity: D]

[Fixed points: 150]

What exactly are the criteria for a treasure? Can an eye patch really be considered a treasure?

If something can be called a treasure because it has accumulated over the years, then wouldn't Funina be a treasure from head to toe?

"It would be more accurate to say that she is Fontaine's most precious treasure."

Is its rarity at least EX level?

Luna sat on the bed, gently kneading the eye mask. The silky texture indicated that the material was indeed of good quality, and she could even faintly smell a delicate fragrance.

However, focusing too much on smells will only turn her into a shrimp-headed phantom thief.

I glanced at the count.

Nothing has changed. But that's not surprising, since she didn't release any announcements.

Without issuing a notice, it doesn't count as an operation, it can't be called a phantom thief activity, and naturally there are no points as a reward.

However, she didn't feel it was a pity. Why would she send a notice before "dating" in private?

A notice is not a love letter!

"Could I send the treasure back and steal it again?" she pondered.

It's certainly a brilliant idea, but it's too cheap.

Luna placed the eye mask beside the bed and lay down.

The real big money is here.

Pearl Harpsichord

[Information: This harpsichord is one of ten special commemorative editions made by a renowned musical instrument workshop. It has an exquisite tone, and no expense was spared in its use of materials, which resulted in its pearl-like, shimmering body. Its only drawback is that it is as delicate as other harpsichords, and could even be described as the princess of the harpsichords, unable to tolerate even the slightest dirt.]

[*Funinga originally wanted to buy it, but because it was pink, she chose another one instead.*]

"The water goddess should use a vibrant blue! Just like me!" — So said Funina.

[The treasure is currently in the home of the nobleman Alkien.]

[Item Rarity: A]

[Fixed points: 300]

This was intelligence she discovered from Xia Wore's investigation report.

The nobleman Alkien is ostensibly a philanthropist who enjoys helping talented young people in the music world who remain unknown due to a lack of opportunity.

However, according to the investigation, he appears to be threatening and even bullying young people he attracts behind the scenes.

However, everyone denied it, and without any other concrete evidence, the investigation has been slow to progress.

But if the special patrol team could enter his home for a thorough investigation, the outcome would likely be different.

Once she issues a notice, the special patrol team will have an excuse to enter his home.

"After all, I can say I'm quite famous now."

The law enforcement officials will certainly do anything to get her.

As long as the Phantom Thief is still out there roaming freely, it is an insult to them.

"I don't care."

However, a well-known figure like Alkien, who is suspected of being involved, might attract the attention of the "father."

At that point, it will become a three-way battle between the Phantom Thief, the Special Patrol Team, and the Hearth House.

Even so, Luna cannot choose to give up.

"We need to steal a piano..."

Luna yawned: "It's better than stealing a statue, isn't it?"

Speaking of which, she had already given the Jade Cup and the Maiden's Tears to Xia Worei.

The latter, Xia Wore probably won't return immediately, because she still needs it for the investigation.

But what reason does she plan to use to explain the former?

The next day.

Luna rubbed her eyes, sat down in the high chair, and picked up the warm milk.

Although she didn't drink milk to increase her popularity, she did want to make her B- more...perfect.

At least a B+!

Take a look at the newspaper.

The Phantom Thief is Actually a Litterer!?

"puff--!"

What the hell is this?

...........

The Phantom Thief is Actually a Litterer!?

According to our reporter, just last night, Xia Worei, the captain of the special patrol team, accidentally discovered the rock jade cup that had been stolen by the phantom thief White Cat while conducting personal training at the beach.

Why would the phantom thief discard the treasure she had already obtained? Miss Chavory offers her own insights.

"She only enjoys the process and the result of stealing the treasure; she may not value the treasure itself."

"The other treasures stolen by the phantom thief White Cat may have been discarded somewhere, like trash—of course, I'm not saying anything bad about these treasures."

"But to her, treasure equals trash."

Xia Worei said indifferently, "If you, Phantom Thief White Cat, see this news, please be a person with moral character and not litter."

"Of course, carelessly discarding other people's property will also add to your crime during trial."

It was also accompanied by a picture.

In response, five-star crime expert Mr. Mike said, "She really is like a cat, who loses interest after catching and toying with her prey to death... It's pure."

The jade cup has been returned to its rightful owners, but the Franwrights still refuse to appear in any form, claiming that they have suffered a severe mental blow and are on the verge of depression.

"White Cat Thief, how are you going to compensate us!"—Franwright and his wife attempted to file a lawsuit.

"What can you accuse me of if you haven't even caught the person? Accuse me of accusing thin air?" — An unknown member of the Mo Mang Palace, Melushin, rejected the accusation.

This reporter sincerely advises all readers not to litter, to be civilized and clean citizens of Fontainebleau.

..........

Luna asked with interest, "Is this revenge on me?"

As expected of Xia Worei, she's just different from others.

She might as well ask someone to write a rebuttal article for Steambird News later; with her current reputation, she won't have trouble finding someone to accept her request.

Rather, they'd love for her to create more sensational moments.

She's already chosen her. Charlotte will do.

But that was later.

Luna put away the newspaper and muttered, "I'll go to the theater troupe for rehearsal later, then go see Chiori in the afternoon, and then scout out the location in the evening. Let me think... I'll release the announcement in three days."

I will steal your piano in three days.

"Looking at it this way, my life is actually quite fulfilling."

Meanwhile, inside the Mo Mang Palace.

Funina blinked and looked at the newspaper again.

"Could the Phantom Thief White Cat have lost all the treasure? Wait a minute—"

She slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"Then, what about my portrait? Isn't she my fan?!"

55: Of course, mothers and fathers can tell their daughters' differences (Second update)

Two nights later.

The Boufati Mansion welcomed... or more accurately, welcomed back its current owner, the woman whom the children call "father."
