Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 42 Barbara on Attack
"You clearly said you were going to see Her Majesty the Queen, but in the end you didn't dare to go up and sat there all the time."

After the banquet, Maggison and Barbara walked home.

Because of work, Gordon will be living in the State Guest House during this time, so only the two of them will leave.

"That's Her Majesty the Queen. No matter how many people in the world want to see her, it's out of reach. How dare I go up and talk to her."

Barbara grumbled.

"It's very rare for us to be able to see the queen at such a close distance."

McKesson was silent, unable to deny what Barbara had said.

"Speaking of which, why are you still following me? I remember that your home should be in that direction."

While walking, Maggison suddenly turned to Barbara.

Although the distance between McKesson's house and Barbara's house does not exceed 1000 meters, this does not mean that the two must stop by.

Like now, the two came to a fork in the road, just in the middle of their home.

"I don't have a key."

"Isn't little James at home? He can open the door for you."

"...the middle school has camping activities today, and he won't go home these days."

"...Isn't today a rest day?"

"Just, it's just because it's a day off that we can hold activities, or do we have to do them during normal school hours?"

"is it?"

McKesson glanced at Barbara suspiciously. In his own impression, when he was in middle school, things like camping activities almost never occupied rest days.

After all, teachers need rest too, don't they...

But since Barbara said so, it's not entirely impossible.

"If it doesn't work, ask someone to unlock it for you."

"Look at what time it is now. The lock repair workers have already left work, and don't you think it's dangerous for me to go back so late?"

do not think so.

Maggison really wants to say that, it is estimated that the distance from here to your home is not more than 600 meters, and I can see the situation of your home directly...

and many more!

"The lights in your house...why are they on?"

Barbara was startled when she heard the words, and when she looked back, her house was brightly lit, as bright as day.

After silently making a decision to fix her younger brother, Barbara said with a dry smile, "Uh huh... I remembered, I forgot to turn off the lights when I left."

The corner of Maggison's mouth twitched. What exactly does this girl want to do?
Do you know that it is very dangerous for you to be a girl in a single man's home!
Normally he wouldn't mind, but now it was different, and he wasn't in the mood to mess around with Barbara.

After all, this banquet let him know the strength of the opponent's lineup, and Queen Elizabeth may not only have these guarding forces on the surface, maybe there are some mysterious figures secretly protecting her.

Although I already have a plan of action, I still have to think about it carefully, especially with the appearance of Agent Bean and Batman.

God knows how far that kind of mystical luck and mystical wisdom can go.

You have to think about how to deal with these two talents.

Even if other people are difficult to deal with, they can find their weaknesses through common sense. At worst, they will stay away from all shopping malls and furniture cities when they encounter Mr. Bob, and the threat level will plummet.

It's better not to let Barbara bother you.

"Then...you can only stay in the hotel for one night today?"

Barbara: "..."

I'm afraid this is not a fool!
Do I have to make it clear to myself that I want to live in your house today?

How can a girl say this?

Is Magison really so dull?

No, she can't just give up like this.

Recalling what Daisy said to herself when she left not long ago, Maggison was too slow, and she should be more proactive.

Barbara cheered herself up from the bottom of her heart.

Barbara, go duck!

"I said, you can't..."

Barbara suddenly turned her eyes coldly, and stared at Maggison dissatisfied.
-
No, I can't rush...

In Suite 4406 of the Angra Hotel in the Old Town of Gotham, Barbara stared blankly at the ceiling.

In the end, she still couldn't say the phrase "Can't you let me stay at your house for one night?" Then Maggison looked at her standing there with a puzzled look, and then stopped abruptly after half a sentence.

Then, Maggison sent her to the hotel very kindly, and opened a deluxe single room for her.

"There is a problem, there must be a problem..."

Barbara sat up abruptly.

"Does he have no feeling for me at all? No, if he really has no feeling at all, it shouldn't matter if I live in his house. "

"Is it because I'm too attractive?"

Barbara took out the small mirror and took a picture of herself.

Mmm... a natural beauty!
After all, my old lady is also the cold and intellectual goddess of Gotham University. How can she be so charming? This kid must be blind.

Looking down, Barbara frowned.

This may not be very big, but this is a normal women's size!
Definitely not small!
Since the problem is not with him, it must be with Maggison.

Barbara thought for sure.

"Maybe he is the Kaitou Kidd, who is plotting something, and he refuses me to live in his house because he doesn't want me to see it, not because I am not attractive enough..."

After tossing and turning, Barbara couldn't sleep, so she made a bold decision.

She tiptoed out the door and quietly left the hotel.

Outside the McKesson's house, Barbara approached quietly.

"The light inside is off, is he already asleep?"

Looking inside through the window, there is no suspicious sign.

The imagined scene where Maggison arranges various Kaitou Kidd props does not appear.

Undeterred, Barbara climbed up to the second floor and peeped in from the bedroom window.

Although Maggison drew the curtains, Barbara could still vaguely see Maggison lying on the bed and sleeping through the gap in the curtains.

"What the hell am I doing..."

Jumping down from the second floor, Barbara laughed at herself and doubted herself, but it turned out that she was entertaining herself.

However, what she didn't know was that on a building not far away, Maggison was watching her with a pair of binoculars.

That's right, Maggison guessed that Barbara would come back to peep... er no, he would come back to investigate himself, so he put a dummy on the bed in his bedroom to confuse Barbara.

The reason why he is still confirming here is because he is afraid that Barbara will break into the door directly in a fit of anger, and if the dummy is found after death, he will not be able to clean up even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

It doesn't seem like jumping into that will wash it off, but that doesn't matter.

Watching Barbara return to the hotel, Maggison jumped off the building, spread out the hang glider, and flew to Kidd's stronghold...

The next day, just after sunrise, Maggison was awakened by a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, it was indeed Barbara.

I saw Barbara with dark circles on her face, staring at him non-stop since Maggison opened the door, not even saying a word...
