However, she is a Chaos Teller, and the group ends up fighting her.

The true identity of the Phantom Thief Cat, as told by Cuvelier, was "Puss in Boots".
Chase the Thief Cat! I (泥棒ネコを追え！Ⅰ)
Cuvelier explains they are now in the "City of Flower Story Zone", ruled by Marie Antoinette. Puss in Boots used to be a narrator-like figure in this Story Zone, and many French heroes coexist there. Now she has become a Phantom Thief and is stealing stuff from everywhere, causing chaos in the Story Zone. The party sets out to get the situation under control.

The proclamation is issued by Queen Marie Antoinette; "A reward will be given to the person who captures the Phantom Thief Cat.". But it gets misunderstood by many people as "A reward will be given to the person who captures a cat.", and the bounty gets spread across the streets of Paris.

Cuvelier returns from asking around the city (and buying food) and brings news that the Phantom Thief Cat is stealing stuff from Notre-Dame Cathedral, so the group heads over there.

The party defeats the police force and Ganimard. However, it was all a trap set by the Phantom Thief Cat.

Tropes appearing in this episode:
- Arc Villain: Chaos Puss in Boots (a.k.a the Phantom Thief Cat/Josephine). The one pulling strings though is the Mouse, a servant of Puss in Boots.
- Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: The Paris Police Prefecture. Led by Justin Ganimard, the police force is tasked by Marie Antoinette to capture the Phantom Thief Cat. Instead, they somehow think the party is involved with the thief, not realizing she herself is among the police force disguised as an officer. Their failure to capture her results in the queen simply firing Gunimard and replacing him with Gilles de Rais.
- Down the Drain: The final encounter with the Phantom Thief Cat and the Mouse takes place in the sewers underneath the Palace of Versalles. It is also infested with rat Villains.
- Papa Wolf: After returning from his faraway journey, Puss in Boots gets outraged at the Mouse for putting his hands on Josephine, making her cause trouble in Paris, and possessing her body. After the party defeats the Mouse, Puss in Boots personally finishes him off.
- Skewed Priorities: While the party is fending off the multitude of rat Villains, Cuvelier goes on her own to ask the citizens if they have seen the Phantom Thief Cat. She also takes her sweet time to buy and eat food (Cuvelier thinks not doing so is somehow rude), to which Revol briefly reacts with exasperation.
