How can our black king be so arrogant!

This is the second day.

Yesterday, after entrusting Kusanagi's secret code to the boss, Suzuki left the coffee shop with wind, and went to SCEPTER4's branch in Yokohama, and browsed all the information about Juncai Academy .

There is indeed no major problem with the data on the materials, but after reading all of them, I always feel that there is a subtle sense of incongruity somewhere.Therefore, Suzuki came to the No-Where coffee house again after copying the list of Juncai Academy's previous personnel.But this time, she didn't come for snacks.

The cyan long sword at the waist accidentally bumped into the door frame when Suzuki pushed the door in, making a "click" sound, covering the crisp sound of the wind chime above the door eaves.

In the coffee house, the young man wearing a dark blue T-shirt and a sleeveless short jacket has a free and rebellious styel, his reddish-brown hair and beautiful blue eyes all reveal leisurely.The black-haired girl in blue short-sleeves on the bar is holding a large plate of curry and feasting on it.

"Ah, you were yesterday's guest... Hei, Hei Mao, right, boss, you have a guest!"

"What black hair! It's...it's Suzuki! Call me Suzuki!!"

As expected, Suzuki, who started to explode, glared at Nath angrily, and then touched the top of her head with a big hand.Raising his head, Kaito Kuroba's smiling face was reflected in Suzuki's bright red pupils.

"Well, it's important to get down to business. Speaking of which, the expenses can be reported to the public account anyway. Two more servings of yesterday's chocolate ice cream."

"Well, that's what I said."

Kaito, who was a temporary cameo as a firefighter, winked playfully at Suzuki.Although he does still have the unpaid part-time job of the Phantom Thief, he sent a request for leave to the police station two days ago, explaining that there will be no activities during the recent period due to personal matters, please feel free to rest at ease ...

——However, why did he reflexively report his actions to the detective who had been chasing him?Didn't you just send out notification letters at will?Why did you make a special trip to send a leave notice to the police station this time?

Kaito, who was puzzled by this, subconsciously avoided thinking deeply, and took Suzuki to sit at the bar, eagerly looking forward to the chocolate ice cream sent by the boss.

Nais stared at Suzuki. Although the Black King forcibly suppressed most of his power and borrowed the power of the Green King to cover up his aura, a certain keen feeling made Nais unconsciously pay attention to Suzuki.

——It was a certain feeling that originated from the depths of instinct and was more intuitive.

However, before Ness could do anything, Suzuki broke the silence in the room by speaking first while waiting for the ice cream.

"Nice—[The Fastest Step of Primates] and Juncai Academy has been ranked first over the years, isn't that right?"

According to regulations, Juncai College has the obligation to keep their identities and abilities confidential, whether they are current students, graduates or students who have dropped out of school.

However, although he was surprised that he would be investigated so carefully by the other party, after seeing the out-of-fit blue long sword on Suzuki's waist, Naiss did not show any displeasure.

On the contrary, this young man with his own style can appear very childish at certain times.Therefore, instead, Ness leaned his body on the bar counter generously, his face covered with white tape was facing Suzuki.

"Yeah, that's right, so you want to entrust us to work on it?"

Having said that, Naith's companion—Zi, the silver-haired young man wearing glasses, also looked a little wary at Suzuki.

——After all, not everyone has the authority to casually access the materials of Juncai Academy.

As if he felt that the atmosphere in the room was too stiff, Kaito walked around in front of Suzuki with a laugh, his cheerful expression seemed to have some magical power, dispelling some inexplicable tension in the air.

"Don't be so nervous~ Hey, have you seen Suzuhime's sword? Everyone is capable, and you all know that this is a token of SCEPTER4... To be honest, we have received orders from our superiors to come here to investigate Jun You are from the academy, this time I came here just to ask a question, there is no malice!"

Kuroba Kaito, who dreams of becoming a magician, naturally knows how to mobilize the emotions of the audience, and things like changing the atmosphere are easy for him.

However, that is on the premise that the other party is not a detective——

"Although SCEPTER4 is indeed an official organization dealing with the issue of people with abilities, but—Miss Suzuki, who is obviously underage, and another who looks like a high school student at first glance...The nameplate is Eguda High School, and this one is incredible children of..."

Having said that, a very relaxed look flashed on Naith's face.

"Probably except for your names, everything else is fake."

Ness' full detective tone and that relaxed look instantly ignited Suzuki and Kaito's irritability.

"Ku Hu Benwang's SCEPTER4 certificate is still opened by the black-bellied glasses. How could it be fake?!"

"Please! Ling Ji, if you don't know how to lie, don't tell me..." Kuai crossed his eyes and quickly stopped Ling Ji's movement of wanting to run away. The future magician, who reacted extremely witty on the spot, hurriedly smoothed things over, "Well... actually we are similar Plainclothes and the like exist, so the investigation is considered to be conducted in secret..."

Glancing at the blue long sword hanging from Suzuki's waist, Nass' eyes were full of disbelief, and even Zi beside him could feel the disharmony between the two, and the two put their fingers on their earphones and spectacle frames.

——Is this considered 'secret conduct'?You two are playing cosplay!

At this moment, the boss who came out with two big cups of chocolate ice cream came out from the backstage.

"Don't worry, this Miss Suzuki is really not suspicious."

The Barbara watermark paper filled with symbols seems to have given the boss a lot of information. Before departure, Kusanagi had assured Suzuki that the boss of No-Where was a trustworthy person; The words of a boss with a rough appearance and a delicate and kind heart are also very important... Therefore, both sides stopped their small movements to activate their abilities.

Putting the chocolate ice cream ordered by Suzuki and Kaito in front of the two, the lively and lovely Miss Zimao took out a wet towel from under the bar and wiped her hands, then took out a document from a courier and handed it to Suzuki.

Then, the honest and tolerant owner of the coffee shop brought a glass of water to Feng, and then hung a "Closed Business" sign on the door of the coffee shop.

"Nice, Zi, there is a very important commission that I hope you can complete!"

"Eh? Boss, you actually have an entrustment for us to help?"

Zi's ​​eyes widened. After all, most of the time, the owner of No-Where Coffee House and Zimao were mainly responsible for transferring other people's commissions to Banghu for resolution. Therefore, even the commission issued by the boss himself was particularly special this time. It's amazing.

However, compared to Zi's astonishment, Ness kept his eyes on Suzuki.

"If I'm not mistaken, boss, your entrustment is not to protect Miss Suzuki... No, to be more accurate - you should be called [Black King], right?"

At that moment, Kaito Kuroba, who had just eaten a big mouthful of ice cream, let out an earth-shattering cough.

"Cough...cough...cough...cough cough and, again, a detective...cough cough...?!"

"Hey, Kaidou-chan, be careful too!!"

However, thanks to Kaito's violent coughing, Suzuki didn't even have time to get angry, but instead stared at Kaito with rather worried bright red eyes, and patted the clan on the back by the way, trying to make the ice cream victim The Phantom Thief, whose cheeks were flushed with tears and tears in his eyes, could feel a little better.

So, instead of Suzuki asking questions, it became Mr. Feng who has been following Suzuki with all his heart.Although it looks like a child in a red Tang suit, no one here dares to treat Feng as a child—the experience accumulated in that small body has created a character that is hard to ignore. Even with the appearance of a child, people can still see Feng's demeanor before he was cursed.

"How did Ness-kun know Suzuki's identity?"

"It's very simple - a slip of the tongue during self-introduction, being able to use the self-proclaimed 'Ben Wang' very naturally, calling SCEPTER4's immediate boss, Qing Wang, 'Black-bellied Glasses'; the authority is so large that you can read the name of the King of Gold The student list of Xia Juncai Academy over the years... and unfortunately, the name 'Kusanagi' is also well-known among capable people. As one of the best figures in the Akao Clan, he was able to mobilize manpower far away in Yokohama for Suzuhime— ——Being able to have a lot of friendship with the King of Gold, King Qing, and King Red at the same time, and the words are very familiar with these big figures with a high level of secrecy—"

Having said that, a relaxed expression appeared on Ness's face... It was very similar to Kudo Shinichi's expression when he solved the mystery of the case, the unique expression of "Detective".

"Except for the King of Black who is also the king... don't think otherwise!"

"...It's a terrifying insight. Ness-kun must be very good at being a detective. But why did you suddenly confirm that it is the [King of Black]? Generally speaking, there is no way to confirm the exact color of the king. Bar--"

Although he was recommended by the boss who received Kusanagi's trust guarantee, for the current Suzuhime, any possible information leakage may cause the most fatal risk.

Therefore, Feng rarely made such a slightly impolite inquiry.

Ness himself doesn't seem to mind this level of faux pas, though.Although Suzuhime is a full-fledged girl both in appearance and heart, but as a capable person, both Ness and Zi are well aware of the pivotal position of the [Royal One] in the world of capable persons.

However, concern is chaotic, talking about the current wind.

Murasaki stretched out her hand and pointed to Kaito who choked on the ice cream over there, and answered Kaze's doubts.

"Just look at the high school students over there...Although the black Yang Yan is also hidden, you can still see some of it if you look closely."

"...So that's the case, I've been taught."

The fact that Suzuhime is the Black King can be deduced by observing Kaito's power attributes... However, neither Ness nor Purple is happy with this observation ability.

——It is necessary to use such a huge ostentation to protect the king who claims to be the most destructive, and there must be more and bigger troubles waiting for them ahead.

"It's the same as what you annoying detective game lovers said... I am indeed the [King of Black] and there is nothing wrong with it." Without concealing her dislike for 'detective', Suzuki frowned and looked at After waiting for a few seconds, he barely suppressed more derogatory words in his throat because of the free and rebellious temperament on Nais.

"It is true that I came to Yokohama as a special investigator of SCEPTER4 to investigate Juncai Academy this time, but it is still a secondary goal... The reason why I came to Yokohama is actually to hide someone."

Since he didn't bring Tetsuya who is best at concealing barriers with him when he came out this time, and Suzuki himself needs to minimize the use of abilities at present, so Kaito, who has the [Eye of Appraisal], has to bear the responsibility for the surrounding people. Awareness Work - Keeping conversations safe in No-Where by identifying people's maliciousness, abilities, line of sight, and distance from the coffee shop.

However, in view of the fact that Kaito has only been a clan for a short time, and he is not proficient in mastering power... and the only person who can take on this kind of responsibility here is Kaito, so in order to reduce the burden on Kaito, this conversation It is only for the purpose of letting everyone know the status quo as soon as possible.

"Hey~ Let's come~ But then again——Zimao, you are so anxious to find us, do you have any major work for us to take care of?"

"Don't drag me into the water too!!"

Pasteur dragged his good doctor into the coffee house, and then he was infected by the dignified atmosphere in the room, and the blond young man, who was always cheerful and unnerved, couldn't help but lower his voice.Lei Xiu, who has always been rigorous and meticulous in character, pushed the arm of Basteil away from his shoulder in disgust, and then sat down on the sofa beside the table with a nonchalant expression.

Beside the glass window facing the street, the lively and lovely Zimao nodded to Kaito, and then, the high school student who was part-time phantom thief began to gather his mental strength... Although such a long-term use of [Evaluation Eye] will cause a certain burden on the body, But for the safety of the Black King, Kaito didn't say anything, just activated his ability silently.Those blue eyes like the clear sky entered a dazed state in the next second, and everything around him was invisible under Kaito's eyes.

After confirming that Kaito has activated his ability, Zimao seems to be afraid of disturbing Kaito, even lip-synthesizing to the boss behind the bar very lightly.

Pasteur and Leixiu occupied one table, Ness and Zi occupied the other table, and Xiao Chu sat next to him quietly and seriously eating curry rice, but the frequency of lifting the spoon was lower than before Quite a few; Zimao and Kaito sat down beside the huge glass window facing the street. Although the soft sofa can reduce Kaito's physical exertion, the [Eye of Appraisal] consumes even more mental energy... Suzuki Hefeng sat on the round chair by the bar with a serious expression, while the tall and generous boss stood behind the bar.

Although there was a danger of being discovered, Suzuki still risked releasing some of her own perceptions before starting the next explanation.

"In name, I came to Yokohama as a SCEPTER4 special investigator to investigate the Juncai Academy under the name of the King of Gold, but in fact, I used this as a reason to legitimately leave my office under the King of Black." In order to avoid the dangerous person who is targeting me—the new Fifth King, the Green King... pity!"
