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 mistake...

"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, a...

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 i...

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, t...

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 a...

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 t...

"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.

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 per...

"Luna."
Gender?
"Female. Do you really need to ask?"

Luna nodded. "Yes, musical theater."

"Yes, for myself."

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

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.

An oil painting, a gemstone.

Meanwhile, back at home, Luna was changing out of her Phantom costume.

Sure enough, the Special Task Force's meticulous search yielded nothing.
"Didn't she leave even the slightest trace?" Turenna asked.

Chevreuse... Luna murmured the name.
As an adventurer, she occasionally worked with the security force on cases that required a bit of rough and tumble. That's when she'd sometimes bump into Chevreuse, who was carrying out her duties.

Phantom thief.
Ask any random person from Fontaine, and they'd be familiar with the term.
It wasn't just a recurring character in plays and novels; it had also manifested in reality.
Over a decade ago, a self-proclaimed "Weasel" Phantom thief had once wreaked havo...

Unfortunately, the system's beginner reward only included skill points that could be used once per each skill tree.
