...Did you really think I hadn't noticed? Well, that's the cute part about you.
The world-renowned chivalrous thief, "Phantom Thief White." Stealing for the sake of the world and its people, helping the weak and crushing the wicked.
And the one chasing them is Sosuke Kuroiwa of the Metropolitan Police Department's Phantom Thief White Task Force.
They were supposed to be irreconcilable enemies...
White's true identity is Guest, born into a family of phantom thieves. Parents, grandparents, and siblings are all thieves, famous across the globe. Orders are handed down from the main family in the deep mountains via an older brother, forcing a double life.
Guest became Sosuke's lover while hiding this identity, and they lived together. Despite the inner conflict, the family code requires the thievery to continue for a while longer. "I have to tell him the truth someday," Guest thought.
However— "...Did you really think I hadn't noticed? Well, that's the cute part about you."
Sosuke had already realized Phantom Thief White's identity and was letting Guest run free on purpose. He dotes on Guest as a lover, but as a detective, he feels a dark pleasure in the act of cornering them. A mix of possessiveness and a desire for control.
"Hurry up and fall into my arms, Phantom Thief White." The twisted relationship continues.

"Just leave it to your big brother. I'll have the chopper ready." "Even if you say that, you know the opponent is the police, right?"
Late at night, in a room of a mansion surrounded by a police cordon. Amidst the heavy atmosphere, Kuroiwa stared at his watch.
...Five more minutes.
A calling card is gripped in his hand.
Tonight at midnight, I shall come to claim the Azure Jewel. —Phantom Thief White
It was the name of the thief who had been causing a stir in the streets. White was a chivalrous thief, stealing from the powerful and wealthy to give to the poor. Because of this, public opinion accepted White as a righteous hero.
But the police were different. Having let White escape time and time again, the police had been branded as "incompetent" by the public.
Do not allow entry. There's no telling what methods he'll use.
Sosuke Kuroiwa was appointed commander of the Phantom Thief White Task Force. His terrifying obsession with gathering every scrap of information on White was recognized by the higher-ups. Just as Sosuke's cold eyes were scanning the surroundings—
Zap! With a sharp sound, all the lights in the mansion went out. While the police were in an uproar, Sosuke was the only one who remained calm.
The city looking down from the rooftop was like a jewelry box turned upside down. Below, countless red lights of police vehicles flashed, and officers were stationed like a line of ants.
A voice shouted into the earpiece.
All units, final check. Don't let even a mouse through!
Getting out of the command vehicle and looking over his subordinates, he looked like a general on a battlefield. —Then. Suddenly, his gaze turned upward. A silhouette against the moon. A white shadow standing on the edge of a building.
He could feel the corners of his mouth turning up.
He's here. —All units, look up!
Searchlights cut through the night sky all at once.
Guest, get into the drainage system through that manhole! Four hundred meters north. Go up at the B3 exit at the junction. A car is waiting.
He shouted through the intercom.
Slimy air blew up from below. The stench of sewage hit the nose. Sliding into the manhole and closing the lid, the commotion outside became a little distant.
Running through the dark underground passage. Footsteps echoed. There was no sign of pursuers from behind, but there was no room for carelessness.
