Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

What treasure could possibly compare to such a radiant smile?

Luna took out a keychain from her pocket and unlocked a spare key.

"Take it."

"Huh? This is it?"

Luna shoved the key into Navia's hand: "It's my house key, but even though you're my manager, you can't wake me up so early in the morning. I'm a bit grumpy when I'm awake."

Navia abruptly raised her face: "It means—"

"Work hard, my agent and assistant."

Navia's eyes sparkled with delight, filled with surprise.

Even though the sun was almost setting, her radiance still made Luna think the sun was still high in the sky. How dazzling!

“I thought only Chiori had a key to your house,” she said softly.

Luna touched her fingers together and smiled, "I don't mind having one more person."

Navia's eyes sparkled as she stared at the key in her hand.

The key was clearly ordinary, yet it seemed to have become her treasure.

“Okay…” she murmured softly.

Navia carefully hung the key on the keychain, and then took off the other two.

Then it was placed in Luna's hand.

"This is my room key! This is at headquarters, this is at the outpost."

"Is that okay?" Luna asked in surprise.

Navia nodded: "Of course. If you need anything, be sure to come to me. It's my job to take care of my partner's needs."

Although she could enter without a key, Luna kept it since Navia insisted on having it.

“Addressing my partner’s needs is something I should do…” she murmured.

"Yes! Just like what you did for me today, if you're in a bad mood, just come to me. I guarantee it will cure you instantly, making you feel relaxed and happy all day long."

Luna gazed at Navia.

"Can I kiss your cheek?"

Here we go again?

Navia really didn't understand why Luna liked kissing her cheeks so much.

"Ah, yes, that's possible... but I thought you'd say something else."

But it's just a kiss on the cheek, and we've done that before.

“Come on!” Navia smiled, a blush rising on her face.

The moment Luna approached, Navia felt a familiar touch on her cheek—soft, warm, and gentle.

In that instant, she seemed to understand why Luna liked to do that.

Because it truly brings joy.

"It's my turn."

Navia's cheek kiss this time lasted much longer than the last one.

“Next time Lulu cries, I want to taste what her tears taste like,” Navia suddenly said.

"I do not want."

"Why!"

"It feels a bit strange."

"...How dare you say such things after doing them yourself? Sigh." Navia sighed.

“And I won’t shed a tear,” Luna said.

Navia smiled and said, "It's hard to say. Maybe Lulu is just easily moved to tears. We'll have a chance to see a really tear-jerking movie later, maybe you'll cry!"

"It's possible that it would make me laugh until I cry."

"Hmph, what a boastful tone... Just wait, I'll take you to see it next time."

There is still time today.

Navia took Luna's hand: "But right now I just want to wander around. Come on, let's enjoy the evening breeze. There's still a long way to go before the last ship."

81: Beware of Fontainebleau

"anyway."

"Ok?"

Navia stroked Luna's knuckles thoughtfully: "Lulu, what kind of job do you want?"

Shadow?

music?

Or do you simply want more money?

"Something that will allow me to really show off my skills."

"That's too broad a scope!"

After all, she has perfect acting skills, a perfect singing voice, and is good-looking. What can't she do?

Luna chuckled and said, "We'll talk about that later. Right now, the most important thing is to perform with Lady Funina."

“That’s true.” Navia nodded.

"Besides, I hadn't really thought about this kind of thing. At first, I just wanted popularity. But it came too quickly, and I achieved my goal easily."

Navia sighed, "Your comment will anger those who are struggling in the entertainment industry."

"But isn't that true?"

"That's to put it mildly. No wonder you and Chiori get along so well."

It turns out that some aspects of their personalities are exactly the same.

"It's not that we get along well because of our personalities. But actually, I'm not exactly passionate about performing," she added.

Enjoying being the center of attention is one thing, enjoying performing is another.

Navia nodded her chin, pondering, "I think it's because Lulu, you didn't get 'a certain moment'?"

"Are you talking about poetry again?"

"No way!"

Navia pressed her hand to her chest and said earnestly, "When I was little, I often pestered my dad to buy me opera tickets, just so I could see the plays performed on stage."

“I loved it back then—and I still love it now!...I love the feeling of going through the ups and downs of the story with the characters on stage.”

"But later, when my father took me to get involved in the affairs of the Rose Society, I saw a tragedy that was even worse than a play, and that gave me an idea."

"I hope such things only happen in dramas."

“That moment changed me and made me who I am today. I think Lulu also needs a certain ‘moment’ in her performing career.”

What Navia said was not hard to understand.

The annihilation did indeed happen in a single moment, and the feeling it evoked could change one's thoughts and ideas. Perhaps what she lacked was just as Navia had said.

She needs a moment that allows her to take the performance more seriously.

But where is that moment? Luna thought for a moment and then gave up, saying, "We can't find it now."

"No rush! I'll help you look."

"Proposal?"

"No, no! Lulu really likes to joke around," Navia said, displeased.

It's precisely because it won't be taken seriously or become a reality that it will be opened.

If she were to actually encounter her, she thinks she would be the first to run away.

After walking for a while longer, it got late.

"It's about time to head back," Navia said, a hint of regret flashing across her face, but mostly a satisfied feeling of having had a great time.

Luna nodded in agreement, but before she had taken a few steps, she heard a sound.

Splash! It sounded like something heavy had fallen into the water.

"What was that sound?" Navia asked in surprise.

"Maybe it's a stone."

"Hmm... let's go take a look."

This way, it will end a little later.

I really hope that these times can continue forever.

As Navia thought about it, she still didn't let go, pulling Luna along to the source of the sound.

Before she even arrived, Luna noticed the movement on the water from afar.

“That’s…”

Navia looked in the direction she was looking, and upon closer inspection, she was shocked: "Someone has fallen into the water!"

Rescuing the drowning person was not difficult for them. Fortunately, the woman who fell into the water did not choke on much water and remained conscious.

"Cough cough cough... Thank you so much, I thought I was really going to sink." She coughed up water and said thankfully.

"You're welcome. Did you fall down by accident?"

"That's it."
