Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

As a reader of Steambird Newspaper who never misses a single issue, Funina naturally knew who the girl in front of her was.

"Phantom thief...white cat?"

Why is she here?

Could it be that......

"You...you're here to steal mine?" Funina's expression changed, and she hurriedly stood up.

Indeed, she had many valuable items on her; they could be considered treasures.

But I never expected her to set her sights on "gods"! Isn't she her own fan?

...wait, it seems there are also fans who have distorted feelings towards their idols.

Could it be that the phantom thief White Cat is also this type?

Luna didn't explain why, but instead smiled and said, "Oh, right."

Is that really true?

How to do?

She has no chance against someone like the Phantom Thief.

Will it win?

She's definitely going to lose! It's more like she's never even been in a fight before.

But simply offering up treasures like that doesn't seem like how a deity should behave.

Furina suppressed her unease, thinking: I am now the water goddess Fucarus... hmm!

Suggestion is a good way to quickly get into character.

"Ahem, I've long heard of the audacity of the phantom thief, White Cat, but I never imagined she'd even try to take my treasure for herself—"

"wrong."

"what?"

Luna leaped lightly off the stone and approached Funina through the fine sand.

Then, taking her hand, he said, "The treasure I'm referring to is Miss Funina."

"..............................Um?"

What does that mean? Treasure = her?

The phantom thief, White Cat, enjoys stealing treasures.

So in other words, she wanted to... kidnap someone?

Fu Ningna's face went from blushing to a sudden, subtle change, and her already fair and clear skin became even whiter.

Furina immediately withdrew her hand, wary, "You want to steal from the gods? If you dare to do that... if you dare to do that, divine punishment will surely fall upon you!"

"What if I said I was willing to accept Miss Funina's punishment?"

Wow, what's wrong with this person?

Normally, wouldn't hearing this kind of talk make you back down? Why are you getting more excited instead?

Furness began to frighten her; this phantom thief was indeed strange...

But she still cleared her throat as if nothing had happened and said, "Easy for you to say! Even if you have elemental power, you are still just a mortal. What right do you have to challenge the authority of the gods?"

"But I feel honored and at ease!"

“I, Fucaros, am not a malicious person. If you leave immediately, I will not pursue your offense and rudeness any further. This is my ultimatum.”

Luna curiously pinched a strand of Funina's hair.

"—Listen to people...listen to God, you idiot!" Funina finally snapped, unable to contain herself any longer....

It's halfway through.

After all, she really couldn't beat the phantom thief.

Luna smiled and said, "I'm very sorry, I just think Miss Funina's hair is very beautiful."

The phantom thief is someone who can't resist stopping when he sees something beautiful.

“After all, I am a god, isn’t that obvious!” Funina said proudly, hands on her hips.

She paused, then steered the conversation back to the main point: "And you get out of here right now, did you hear what I said?"

Luna nodded.

"heard it."

"That......"

"But I have no reason to act according to the will of the gods."

what?

While Funina was still in a daze, Luna took a few more steps away, put her hands behind her back, and looked at the shimmering water.

"There is no law in Fontaine that states this beach is exclusively for Miss Funina, so it's not illegal for me to come here for a stroll, is it?"

“You’ve broken the law several times already,” Funina said, arms crossed.

What kind of phantom thief would you be if they didn't break the law?

...unable to refute.

Although the phantom thief white cat was not hostile to her, Funina still felt a little annoyed that her rare playtime had been disturbed.

"Really? Then you can enjoy the scenery here. I'm going back now."

“It was wrong of me to disturb Miss Funina. As an apology, how about this?” Luna snapped her fingers and took out a box of pastries from the opening in her storage space.

These are limited edition macarons.

Funina was a little surprised, but ignored it: "No need, I'm not hungry."

But after walking only a few steps, her stomach growled.

"............."

I don't think I ate much for dinner.

"It seems your stomach and your mouth don't match up."

Funina blushed, raised her chin, and said, "This... it's just because the water element power within my body is boiling!"

That excuse is really versatile.

Luna opened the box and ate a macaron herself.

"It's not poisonous, Miss Funina, you can rest assured. If you still don't trust me, perhaps..."

Luna's gaze fell on a certain spot, and Funina followed her gaze.

They met the eyes of the innocent, puffy beast.

"Why don't we let this little guy give it a try?"

Are you going to kill me, sister? — That's what the puffy beast's eyes seemed to say.

Funinna held the macarons close to her body and lay down on the ground, like a pufferfish that had seen through the world.

"Eat?"

The puffy beast rolled over and patted its belly.

"Looks like she doesn't want to eat," Funina muttered.

What will she do with the macarons she has? They're commemorative editions; you might not even be able to buy them even if you queue up.

Eating... is impossible.

This food was given by a phantom thief. Even children know not to eat things given by strangers, let alone a criminal.

"Back to you."

"Don't want to eat?"

Funina scoffed, "I'd rather jump into the sea from here than eat anything the phantom thief gives me! — But waste is shameful, so you'll have to clean it up... um!?"

Luna seized the opportunity and stuffed a macaron into her mouth.

Funina chewed and swallowed unconsciously, then her expression changed.

These macarons are poisonous!

"...How can it be so delicious? Is this the power of the commemorative edition?" she murmured in surprise, wanting to eat another piece after finishing one.

and many more.....

Funina belatedly realized what was happening and took a few steps back: "You actually forced it into my mouth!"

"I just couldn't bear to see the gods go hungry."

"I already said that it was water elements boiling inside my body."

Luna picked up another piece and brought it to Funina's lips: "Then let me calm things down, one more?"

"No."

"Really don't want it? This is a commemorative edition, a limited release. Once it's gone, it's really gone!"

Funina pursed her lips, able to smell the fluffy, soft aroma that awakened memories of past dessert tastings, vaguely mimicking their soft and delicious sensations in her mouth...

Her gaze wandered, but she finally took a soft breath and responded.

“...Never mind, just consider it your offering to the gods!” Funina carefully took the macaron and ate it in small bites.

"See, it's not poisonous, is it?"

This is indeed the case.

However, there is no doubt that the phantom thief White Cat is a dangerous individual.
