Chapter 20: You're even more beautiful than roses, alas!

This so-called Phantom Thief was more like a common bandit. She'd never heard of a Phantom Thief who left the scene of the crime in such disarray.
And what's more, stealing the treasure of another thief—was this what they called "thieves taking from thieves"?
Chevreuse couldn't be mistaken. The liquid in those bottles was none other than the "miracle potion" that had once swept through Fleuve Cendre.
Later, after the former president of the Spina di Rosula, Kalles Kaspar, discovere...

Chapter 19: Heart of the Bandit

"Boss, what do we do? This was too much! The security force... even the special task force will be here soon!" Gueret clenched his fists.
That wretched Phantom Thief...
Daring to claim those Sinthes were worthless?
They were the finest elixir, bringing endless prosperity. Just one sip, and any imbiber would be irrevocably enthralled.
Mora would flow into their coffers like a torrent,; they'd be rich beyond dreams overnight! A paradise of fine wine and good meat—every destitute s...

Chapter 18: Where there's a phantom thief, there will be...

Phantom Thief White Cat
Chevreuse repeated the name in her mind while her hands never rested.
Every day, the Special Task Force's firearms required meticulous maintenance. Otherwise, they might fail during actual combat.
Misfires were one thing, but explosions or other issues could be downright dangerous.
Fortunately, with her vision, she didn't need to worry about major malfunctions in her firearm.
But even without the risk of breakdowns, neglecting maintenanc...

Chapter 17: Isn't It Normal For a Childhood Sweetheart To Lose to a Protagonist?

As Navia beheld Luna's true appearance, she was momentarily stunned, feeling an uncanny sense of familiarity.
Right! I've seen her in the newspapers! Navia exclaimed, realization dawning on her. "So you're the new lead actor of the Dark Moon Troupe, Luna!"
Luna smiled and nodded, then repositioned her sunglasses. "That's correct. I apologize for keeping my identity hidden from you all."
No sooner had she spoken than Silver suddenly stepped forward.
"You're actually..." 2025-05-22 03:30:12 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 16: Oh my dear Watson

Navia mused aloud, sizing up the girl before her—a beret, a coat, and sunglasses... She glanced around the room and, turning to Silver and Melus beside her, confirmed, "This is definitely the place, isn't it?"
"Yes."
Navia nodded slightly.
The sight of such a woman appearing at the door of the missing girl's home, just about to enter... It made her mind flash with a conjecture.
Navia's eyes lit up. "I figured it out! You're a detective, aren't you?"
"Hm?" L...

Chapter 15: What's so wrong with a Phantom Thief turning detective?

In response to Chiori's blunt question, Luna flashed a refreshing smile.
"I missed you, so I came to see you."
Chiori rubbed her arm. "I'm getting goosebumps. Spill the truth?"
"My place is under siege."
A group of reporters had been camped outside her home since the crack of dawn. There was no way she could stay there peacefully.
Sneaking out seemed like a better plan, allowing her to hide in Chiori's shop until the storm passed.
After all, everyone...

Chapter 14: Furina's Approval

"The Melusine Ensemble is truly exceptional," Lyney mused aloud. "We'll skip the other performances at the opera tonight."
In response to her brother Lyney's query, she gently shook her head.
"My battery is running low. If we stay any longer, I'll have to enter hibernation mode."
I'm getting sleepy.
Lyney let out a rueful chuckle. "You've done well today. Let's head back home then, and perhaps bring some treats for our kiddie guests along the way."
No sooner had he spo...

Chapter 13: I've been waiting for this moment

"Lady Furina, here's the latest hydrology report. The parameters are still rising..."
Furina accepted the report, glanced at it casually, and seemed not at all surprised. A hint of dimness flickered through her eyes, but noticing that the reporter was still watching her, she quickly assumed a confident expression.
"Very well. Continue analyzing. Just how far will human ingenuity go? I'm truly looking forward to seeing the extent."
"Lady Furina, the prophecy still ...

Chapter 12: The Stage, Where the Gods Will Behold

Only ten days remained before they were to perform at the Opera Epiclese.
No matter how one looked at it, that was far too little time.
Yet there was no choice. The sudden disappearance of the original lead had disrupted all plans and arrangements. If they couldn't proceed with the performances, the troupe's fortunes would plummet.
This imminent catastrophe hung like a sword over the heads of all the theater members, threatening to strike at any moment.
There wasn't a soul wh...

Chapter 11: Audition

Name?

"Luna."

Gender?

"Female. Do you really need to ask?"

"Some people are always trying to stir up trouble. If we don't handle this delicately, who knows what kind of attention it might draw from those nosy reporters."

Luna sympathized deeply. 

At that moment, she was attending an audition for the Dark Moon Troupe.

Only three people were in the room: her, the theater company's director, and their playwright.

Chapter 10: Beware of Fontaine Women

Luna nodded. "Yes, musical theater."

"Yourself?"

"Yes, for myself."

"... Seriously?" Chiori asked, her direct gaze meeting Luna's eyes.

"Seriously," Luna replied, pulling up a chair and resting her hands on its back.

Chiori scrutinized Luna from head to toe. Even she had to admit that Luna's beauty was striking, her voice as clear and melodious as a bird's song. If she were to nickname Luna, it would undoubte...

Chapter 9: Beware of Inuzuma Women

"Phantom Thief Reappears? Who Is Its True Identity?"

Last night, an uninvited guest graced the Confrerie of Cabriere's art exhibit with her presence. She called herself the Phantom Thief White Cat, and had issued a challenge letter the day before. Her target was none other than the Tears of a Maiden, the gem on display at the exhibit...

The Phantom Thief White Cat insisted she wasn't the Phantom Weasel from over a decade ago...

Chapter 8: Do you think you're a straight woman? I think I am.

Looking at the remaining 50 points, Luna couldn't help but sigh at how long the road to becoming stronger still was.

However, with the System, it was just a matter of time.

"Finally, let's take a look at my loot."

An oil painting, a gemstone.

Furina's Smile. The composition was clearly identical to the Mona Lisa from her previous life, with the only difference being the subject inside—the person had been changed to Furina.

The dignified postu...

Chapter 7: Upgrades people...Upgrades

Meanwhile, back at home, Luna was changing out of her Phantom costume.
Pressing a hand against her pounding chest, Luna exhaled slowly.
"Finally, a chance to rest. The young miss of the Spina di Rosula and the captain of the Special Task Force... if they kept chasing me like that, it would've been one big headache."
Dealing with one Vision holder was trouble enough, let alone two.
Fending off their relentless dual assault wasn't something to take ligh...

Chapter 6: Furina Has Been Stolen?!

Sure enough, the Special Task Force's meticulous search yielded nothing.

"Didn't she leave even the slightest trace?" Turenna asked.

Chevreuse nodded slightly.

"It seems she's adept at concealing her presence and movements. As for those martial skills, swordsmanship, and marksmanship, they're undoubtedly honed through years of combat."

In her mind, a flood of potential identities for the Phantom Thief surfaced:

Champion Duelist, Adventurer...
