Seeing Furina's wariness, Luna didn't seem bothered.
"Are you afraid?"
Actually, I don't feel that scared, Furina thought.
She lifted her gaze to study Luna's expression.
Warm, polite, and elegant—exactly as she had been when they first met on the beach. She hadn't changed at all.
Ignoring her identity, she was undeniably approachable.
Of course, even if Furina felt fear, she couldn't show it.
"Fear? How laughable! No matter how peculiar yo...

"I promise you," the mirror's reflection had once said to Furina, "everything will end in a grand, theatrical trial. Everyone will be saved."
"You must keep performing," the reflection continued. "Don't let anyone suspect your true identity."
Furina was clearly an ordinary person, yet she had to play the role of a God.
What if someone did suspect? A flicker of doubt and anxiety crossed Furina's eyes.
"Then..." the reflection murmured, "before the final moment arrives, ...

In a single-patient hospital room, "Luna" lay on the bed, her sleeping form serene.
If not for the gentle rise and fall of her chest, one might think she'd already passed away.
The curtain suddenly billowed as a white shadow leaped into the room with graceful ease.
"This puppet really is my exact replica..." Luna murmured, removing her mask.
It could mimic facial expressions, breathe like a living being, maintain body temperature, and even produce medical scan results ...

"Perhaps you're wondering—where is Lady Furina?"
"Let me keep that answer secret. If you wish to know, then defeat me completely. Crush me, make me your cage-dwelling trophy."
"Of course, after two minutes, this opportunity will vanish."
Beneath the cheerful tone lay unmistakable provocation.
No one underestimated this sweet-smiling Phantom Thief. Memories of past humiliating defeats flashed before their eyes, tightening their grips on weapons.

Could Luna be the Phantom Thief White Cat? Chevreuse's mind flashed with the suspicion.
No, it could be the opposite too.
The Phantom Thief White Cat has transformed into Luna! Navia's eyes sharpened, piercing through others effortlessly as uncontrollable anger surged within her.

Your Lulu? Chiori shot her a glance.

Noticing the change in Furina's expression, Chevreuse immediately asked:
"What's wrong? What does the Phantom Thief's letter say?"
Furina wordlessly handed over the warning letter. Chevreuse frowned deeply.
The letter is a rhyme, and treasure names are described with abstract terms. It seems she's growing more fond of being a Phantom Thief.
Putting those aside for now, the key point lies with Fontaine's greatest treasure.
She'd heard the Phantom Thief Wh...

When Luna saw the letter titled Phantom Thief Capture Plan Invitation, she was undoubtedly puzzled.
After all, she was the Phantom Thief White Cat.
What kind of invitation was this—to invite a phantom thief to catch another phantom thief? Of course, except for a few select individuals, no one knew about her secret identity.
"What's this?"
Navia panted for breath. "Waterrrr..."
Had she really run the entire way here?

"If you let me put shackles on you, I might consider it," Chevreuse countered.
Luna merely smiled, lifted her chin, and pulled open her collar.
Her smooth neck showed not a single blemish. "Come then," she said. "I don't mind. Collars or shackles - I'll accept either."
Chevreuse pushed Luna away. "Enough."
She wouldn't admit it was a so-called date, but she did want to take this White Cat outside—not for personal reasons, but to handle the final stages of the case.

Night fell, and a swift shadow flashed across the sky.
Luna had transformed into the Phantom Thief White Cat, but her target wasn't treasure - it was something within the Opera House.
Perhaps due to Lyney's previous infiltration of the Oratrice core room, the Opera Epiclese's Maison Gardiennage had more than doubled.
But this posed no challenge for Luna.
The last Maison Gardiennage member collapsed to the ground. Luna stepped over his body, landing on the stage.

At first glance, this pair seemed unremarkable—both were from Palais Mermonia, after all.
But upon closer inspection, something felt peculiar.
Especially Neuvillette.
"Monsieur Neuvillette actually appearing outside?" Luna murmured, slightly surprised.
Most of the time, Neuvillette remained at Palais Mermonia, buried in endless documents and cases day after day. It was rare to see him venture out, let alone in a place like Poisson.
Neuvillette paused for a few seconds before ...

Navia smiled. "If true, I wish this Hydro dragon would change its mood."
Removing her hat, Navia stepped closer, her boots treading on damp earth.

Warm winds would often sweep through, sunlight stretching the children's shadows long across the ground.

The trial had concluded. Having received Furina's assurance, the audience departed the scene with calm.
Furina hurried away as well, unwilling to remain even a moment longer.
Clorinde naturally followed her departure.
The lights dimmed, and the once-busy stage returned to silence.

Luna couldn't shake the feeling that this was merely the beginning, just the conclusion of one chapter in a larger story.

The Maison Gardiennage approached Marcel and gestured. "Please take the position of the accused."
Furina felt somewhat confused.
The roles of accuser and accused had instantly switched, and even the case had changed. Did she still need to stand with the accused? Did her duel with Luna still count? Defend Marcel? Impossible. She wouldn't do such a thing. She would never defend someone so wicked.
