[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

The incident where Yu received the threatening letter was successfully resolved, and while Kaito was relieved, he also reconfirmed that there are many dangers lurking around this suspected comprehensive world.

Although it was only a flash, Kaito did vaguely capture words like "Pluto" from Shibata's confession before.

With the existence of Pluto, it seems that it is not so unimaginable that Dan Morihiko Detective Academy may appear at any time?

——But speaking of it, are there too many detectives in this world?

From Loki to Conan and then to Detective Academy, as a legendary detective's old enemy-Kaitou, Kaito Boy expressed a lot of pressure.

But then again, there seems to be no strange thief in "Detective Academy Q".

Touching his chin, Kaito felt that this was actually pretty good.

Because after all, Kaitou are nothing more than a bunch of elegant thieves.Most of them steal all kinds of treasures because of some unspeakable personal reasons, not purely out of greed—of course, bastards (?) who are purely for fun like Gentleman Phantom Thief are definitely an exception.

Therefore, compared with strange thieves, the real enemies of detectives should actually be murderers and criminals.

As for the monsters...

If I had to give a definition, probably... it should be regarded as the "destined opponent" of the detectives, right?

——Speaking of this, in fact, "Detective Academy Q" also handles the "Phantom Thief", which is almost regarded as a must-have character for reasoning comics by the vast majority of reasoning fans.

Abandoned the setting of the existence of this character, but even without the eye-catching monster thief, "Detective Academy Q" can easily generate corresponding substitutions with its own wonderful reasoning and rigorous plot. Feeling and tension, it seems that the existence of the role of Kaido is not as important as originally thought, which is actually very rare in Kaito's view.

only……

The character design is slightly cruel ==

But no matter what, there is still such a handsome boy as Amakusa Ryu, once he accepts such a setting...

It seems to be very exciting, doesn't it?

Turning his face away, Kaito said that he wasn't secretly happy because most of the detectives were not as good-looking as him!

No!

A rollover smoothly jumped from the big bed where he was living and directly fell into the computer chair beside the bed. Kaito put away his wild thoughts before, and began to seriously browse a piece of information he had just received——

【The first princess of the Principality of Sabrilla, An, arrived in Japan by special plane a few days ago.

It is reported that during her visit to Japan this time, Princess Ann will also exhibit a large number of famous paintings and precious stones from her country in a special special exhibition venue.

Among them, the most famous is a natural red diamond named "Paris Sun", which fell on Princess Ann's chest.In this regard, Her Royal Highness smiled and expressed "I hope to be appreciated by Kaitou Kidd" in the shots taken by many Japanese reporters who came to pick up the plane that day.When asked whether this could be called a challenge from Her Highness the Princess to Kidd the Phantom Thief...]——the blond little beauty princess smiled and nodded in agreement!

"What a troublesome little princess..." He shook his head helplessly and sighed, resting his chin on one hand, Kaito flicked the mouse, and finally a blond square-faced foreign man was frozen in the picture, and added to this picture Xia frowned slightly when he wrote "Phantom Thief Kidd's Arrest Declaration" in a particularly eye-catching font——Sure enough, the plot is not so easy to change.

Originally, Kaito thought that the incident of the princess’s visit might have been lost by some variable butterfly. After all, Kaito’s memory of this incident happened before the incident of Witch Hongko, and the time was completely right. not on.

But now it suddenly comes out again...

Cursing his lips, Kaito thought about it, many things have probably changed since he completely lost the childhood relationship between Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko.

It's like in the original book, during a certain Kaito operation, the police officer Nakamori accidentally saw his true face, so in order to dispel his father's suspicion, Aoko forcefully asked Kaito to go out with her on the day Kidd announced the operation. This event did not happen at all. Same thing, Kaito thought, maybe his own appearance did have a certain impact on the plot, but what is the scope and breadth of this influence...

It seems immeasurable now.

His gaze slowly moved back to the computer screen in front of him, Kaito thought for a while, and reached for the phone beside him——

"Hello, Xiao Ling? It's me."

"Huh? Brother Kidd?"

"Yeah. Xiaoling, have you read the reports on the Internet? I'm afraid..."

"Brother Kidd, I understand, if I were so blatantly provoked, I wouldn't be able to shrink back and not fight. This is a contempt for our dignity and reputation as phantom thieves."

Ah!look!This kid actually has a way of speaking.

Kaito hooked his lips and smiled.

Before I said it, I really didn't expect that this little guy who thought he was gentle and innocent would be so lively and relaxed in front of him.

——You guessed it right, the young lady who is talking on the phone with Kaito is indeed the little boy Yijuin Ling who has appeared before.

Speaking of which, Ling and Kaito are not acquainted with each other.Especially at the end of the first meeting between the two, Kaito treated each other so honestly, which made Xiaozhengtai completely open his heart to him. The two exchanged phone numbers and email addresses, and shared a lot of information. source.

However, he never mentioned Kaito's true identity as the Ijuin boy, and even blocked Kaito immediately when he wanted to tell him.

"It's because I'm not as skilled as others and I don't know when to show my feet. Brother Kidd's willingness to let me see his true colors is enough to show his kindness and trust in me. How can I ask for more?"

——When he said that, Xiao Zhengtai's expression was unprecedentedly serious.

"One day I will rely on my own strength to find out Brother Kidd's real body, so...don't take the initiative to tell me now!"

Well, children are stubborn and self-respecting, what else can Kaidou do other than tolerate Ling's only little waywardness?

So the two have always maintained such a close and mysterious (?) communication state that seems to be separated by a layer of veil, until now...

And the reason why Kaito would call Xiaoling Zhengtai like this is because when the news of Princess Ann's upcoming visit to Japan was released, Ling had greeted Kaito in advance, saying that it was because of his two wayward mothers He wants the Parisian sun, so he will probably issue a teaser to the princess this time.

Kaito recalled the plot and found that apart from being beautiful, valuable and valuable, this gem is not very important to him-because it is not the Pandora's Stone that the mysterious organization has been pursuing after all, so it is also He took advantage of the situation and promised Xiaoling Zhengtai that he would not issue a notice this time, nor would he take the scorching sun of Paris as a target.

But unexpectedly, the plot still played its powerful inertial role.

A challenge from Her Royal Highness, and a challenge from a certain idiot police officer who is overwhelmed, Kaito has no choice but to issue a warning to meet the challenge this time - just like Xiao Ling said, this is related to them The dignity and honor of being a phantom thief.

"Well... Otherwise, I'm not that interested in Paris Sunshine anyway, how about handing it over to you after I get it?"

Kaito thought about it, and felt that he couldn't just go back on his word.

Although he had to accept the challenge, what he promised Xiaoling before was also true.Besides, he has already caused Xiaoling to miss once, and I don't know what it would be like to be tossed about by his two wayward and troublesome mothers. If this time it is because of himself...

——It’s not that Kaito thinks too much of himself or Xiaoling is too low, but in terms of strength, if he and Xiaoling really face each other, Kaito will win nine out of ten.

"But brother Kidd... it is said that you will return the treasure you got in many cases? This time you don't return it... really it doesn't matter?"

Xiaoling also has her own worries.

Kaito couldn't help but feel warm when he heard this, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened: "It's okay, you also said 'a lot of times', so... there will be times when I keep the treasures for my own use Yes."

So in this way, the two finally finalized the ownership of Paris Sunshine.

And Xiaoling also decided that although he will not issue a notice that day, he will still dress up as a man with thousands of faces to meet Kaito near the exhibition hall.

"Anyway, that police officer Delong is indeed a dangerous person. I'm worried about Brother Kidd."

Facing Ruan Sheng's coquettish little Zhengtai, Kaito couldn't help but smile to him helplessly.

Hanging up the phone, Kaito heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to start printing the notice...

Turning his head suddenly, Kaito's eyes shot out of the window like lightning——

"Who?!"

At a certain moment just now, he did have a strange feeling that he was being watched.

"Oh, the feeling is still so sharp! Kuroba...Kaito-kun."

And with the sound of a devilish voice that is hardly unfamiliar, Kuai Dou's ears suddenly felt hot...

In a blink of an eye, I saw that someone's handsome face, which was so beautiful that it was almost strange, was already approaching me——

"Loki?!"

"Well, I'm right. I'm so happy~ Kaito-kun still remembers my name." The blond handsome young man said with a smile, as if he didn't notice the inadvertent defense and inadvertent expression on Kaito's expression As if stiff, as he leaned closer, he slowly raised his eyelids——

A pair of crystal-clear blue eyes stared straight into the depths of Kuai Dou's eyes: "Then... can I ask Kuai Dou-kun to explain to me, that day..."

"What did you... see in my arms?"

Raising his hand to gently pinch the fair and slender chin of the young man in front of him, Loki raised the corners of his lips, looking at the young man's eyes that widened in astonishment for a moment, for some reason, a burst of uncontrollable sadness and... nostalgia suddenly surged in his heart? !

Ah... I really know this boy!

While thinking this way, Loki raised his hand and restrained Kaito from retreating——

"If Kaito-kun doesn't want to explain to me now...then I think, in the next period of time, I'm afraid I will often bother Kaito-kun."

After finishing speaking, he saw the brows of the young man in front of him flicker, but when he looked at the past carefully, he had already returned to his previous calmness, as if... nothing had changed.

——What a stubborn and brave little guy~

When Loki was thinking like this, he didn't know that a certain boy who was a strange thief had already regretted so much that his intestines were almost green...

... Let your mouth be cheap, let your mouth be cheap, let your mouth be cheap!

Kaito complained silently in his heart.

What's up with the momentary verbal pain?Now, let's provoke someone, shall we?

——Looking at Loki's posture, it is obvious that he intends to rely on him!Unless...Kaito is willing to take the initiative to explain to Loki the answer that aroused his interest.

However, why did Kaito satisfy Loki?And why... to get rid of Loki?

——This guy Loki sent it to the door himself!

How dare you forget me and not recognize me?Loki, do you want me to forgive you so easily for reminding you?

This... is not that easy!

Slightly bowing his head, the corners of his lips buried in the shadow cast by his hair curled up strangely. In the darkness that Loki couldn't see, the eyes of the young magician who must pay for his grievances shone with brilliance.

At this time, Kaito didn't know that on the night when his notice was sent out, another notice was sent to the Delong detective and Princess An not long after...

—— Another encounter belonging to the strange thieves is about to begin!
