Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

"..............Eh?"

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

What the phantom thief White Cat said is true.

There are indeed voices within the girl's tears, and according to Vilette, there is an unknown person's consciousness remaining within them.

The echoes of the deceased are preserved within this crystal-clear gem.

No wonder this gem looks so special, as if it's flowing. There was indeed life flowing within it, perhaps even that of a victim of the serial disappearances of young girls.

Xia Wore gazed at the girl's tears.

"The more I look at it, the more unpleasant it becomes."

It is precisely because it is so beautiful that people feel utterly disgusted after learning the truth.

She wiped away her tears.

She currently has no intention of returning it to the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce, especially since they are suspected of wrongdoing; sending it back would be tantamount to destroying evidence.

Navilette also supported her in doing so.

"While it is regrettable, handing it over to the law enforcement is certainly not the best option at present either," he said.

Even though he is the highest judge, it doesn't mean he's completely on the side of the court.

Navigette stands solely on the side of justice and the law.

It was truly exhilarating to receive his help, but at this moment, Xia Wore's first thought was still that figure.

"The Kaito White Cat...."

Did she know the truth about the Tears of a Young Girl from the beginning before she stole them?

Or was it simply a matter of accidentally discovering the truth?

Regardless...

"I need to see her."

As long as she can help her find the truth and bring the heinous criminals to justice, Xia Worei will not prioritize arresting her for the time being—unless there are special circumstances where everyone else is present.

The problem is: where is she going to find the phantom thief?

This guy is elusive.

No, maybe we don't even need to actively seek her out.

"Although I don't want to admit it, she is indeed very interested in me."

So as long as the news is released, the phantom thief White Cat should come knocking on our door.

It's almost like fishing for a cat.

Unfortunately, she was dried fish, bait.

Xia Wore actually had an idea to get the phantom thief White Cat's attention to her news.

That means cursing her.

Xia Wore walked out of the bedroom, went downstairs to the hall where the team members were, and then patted Tirena, who was dozing off.

"Huh!? Captain, I wasn't slacking off!"

Xia Worei smiled slightly: "I know, I just want you to help me invite someone over."

"Who?"

"Miss Charlotte."

Two days later, the headline of the Steambird newspaper featured these words in large print.

The Phantom Thief White Cat Enjoys Harassing Respectable Women?

"puff--!"

So, the opening ceremony was struck by lightning first thing in the morning?

What happened? Did I do anything?

"I've been quietly and diligently preparing for the performance these past few days," Luna said, wiping her mouth with a handkerchief and giving the bizarre news a subtle look.

Although the title states the truth.

The Phantom Thief White Cat Enjoys Harassing Respectable Women?

Yesterday, Ms. Xia Wore was interviewed by our reporter and shared some information she had learned about the phantom thief.

Xia Worei: "First of all, the phantom thief White Cat likes to flirt with other women, and anyone could fall victim to her.

"Secondly, she has a very clear understanding of herself. She doesn't need fans, nor does she need anyone's expectations. There is only one thing she wants, and that is to be someone else's treasure."

"Therefore, no matter how much you idolize her, she won't pay attention to you, but if you go against her, she might become interested in you."

"She claims to like beautiful things, so perhaps after this she might not be satisfied with just flirting with women, but would completely steal them away."

In response, a member of a self-proclaimed fan group of Phantom Thief White Cat stated:

"I'd love to. Let me show you my style."

The unnamed president of the Rose Society also said, "What Miss Xia Wore said is true, please be very careful."

I would like to specifically point out here—beware of the Phantom Thief White Cat!

No matter how beautiful she is, she's still a dangerous criminal! The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is; a moment's inattention and your precious treasure could be stolen...

Please do not fill your home with treasures just to attract the phantom thief, lest you repeat the tragedy of the Franwright family.

"Hmm..."

As Luna watched, her subtle gaze gradually turned playful.

Although Xia Wore didn't say a word, she understood what she meant—come find me.

Chavalley rarely gives interviews, even to the renowned Charlotte.

Even when given an interview, they don't say much, always maintaining a serious demeanor that could scare a child.

But all that she's said so far has been about the phantom thief.

It's not hard to understand her unique signals.

"So you're actually using insults to get me to come over to you?" Luna put down her newspaper and gave a soft snort.

Then she just wouldn't go.

Let's go in a day, Captain.

...That was her original thought, but holding her anger in wasn't a good thing. Rather than making Xia Worei wait for her, she decided to teleport to Xia Worei's side.

Then vent your anger on Xia Wore.

And so, night fell.

On the beach outside Fontaine, Chavorei was taking advantage of the time to do special training.

The spear he swung remained firmly in the air, with only a slight, imperceptible sway, demonstrating the strength and skill of his spear technique.

But she is now unable to arrest the phantom thief.

We are not strong enough to carry out justice.

Therefore, she needs to become stronger, and the only thing she can rely on is more special training.

"Hoo..." Xia Worei let out a deep breath, sweat sliding down her face and onto her collar.

She instinctively reached for the towel, but found nothing.

That's why Xia Wore knew the guy she was waiting for had arrived.

She said coldly, "Give me back my towel."

Xia Wore turned around and looked at Luna on the roof.

Luna stood on the abandoned fisherman's house, holding Xia Worei's towel in her hand and waving it around.

"How about I help you wash up? As a thank you for expressing your affection for me in the newspaper."

74: You thought that was all? (4th update)

Upon seeing the phantom thief White Cat again, Xia Wore couldn't help but stare into her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to hold nothing but a smile.

"You'd steal other people's towels? Aren't phantom thieves supposed to only steal beautiful treasures?" Xia Worei replied calmly.

“I didn’t steal it; it flew to my hand on its own.”

"That's all a lie."

“Well, I think everything Miss Chavory owns is beautiful.”

"abnormal."

Luna landed lightly next to Xia Worei, grabbed a towel: "Come on, stretch your neck. I'll wipe it clean for you."

"unnecessary."

Without a second thought, Xia Worei snatched the towel from her hand and began wiping her neck herself.

Luna asked with interest, "Were you exercising just now?"

"It's special training."

"Special patrol team special patrol training?"
