[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

On Frey's side, Loki left the stage with infinite satisfaction, but Kaito who was left behind...

Naturally it was not so good.

Feeling the terrifying murderous aura and tremendous coercion overflowing from the body of the blond youth in front of him even though he tried his best to suppress it, Kaito, who was innocently implicated by Frey's whim, said that he This is really getting shot while lying down, okay?

It's not that he didn't think about sneaking away while Loki was immersed in the anger provoked by Frey and had no time to take care of himself, but...

Sighing silently, Kaito thought he had to admit that he was really... a little worried about Loki.

Before his memory was sealed and he was separated from Loki, Kaito had been with Loki almost day and night for three full years—it can be said that from the time Kaito lost Pirates, during the three years from the age of nine to 12, It is Loki who has been by his side all the time, so that Kaito can recover from the blow and shadow of losing his father Touichi little by little, and turn back into the confident and elegant young magician he once was.

And this kind of companionship and influence is of course not Loki's unilateral contribution.

Loki gave Kaito a support and reliance when he was most vulnerable and helpless, and Kaito responded to this by knowing Loki's true identity and even after experiencing countless times with him. After the threat and pursuit from the God Realm, he still stood firmly by Loki's side with a smile on his face.

——After these three years of getting along like this, the relationship between Kaito and Loki is no longer easily summed up in a simple sentence.

So even though he guessed that Loki failed to recognize him immediately after the two reunited, and even after showing his true face, he still did not respond to this abnormal behavior, there is definitely a certain kind of self hidden behind. For some unknown reason, Kaito still couldn't forgive him immediately.

It doesn't matter whether he is narrow-minded or unreasonable (?), Kaito just can't tolerate it, Loki even forgot himself!

——Especially before he left, he forcibly sealed Kaito's memory of him despite Kaito's fierce opposition!

Of course Kaito knew that Loki did this because he was worried about himself.

In the final analysis, Kaito is just a little special ordinary person. Under such a dangerous situation at that time, Loki, as a god, could not completely guarantee his own safety, let alone protect Kaito in every detail. .

With no other choice, Loki can only try to hide the connection between him and Kaito, so that others cannot trace Kaito through such a connection, and then hurt him...

Of course Kaito understands all that Loki has done for himself, but he really didn't expect that Loki would choose to seal his memory before leaving - he clearly knew that for Kaito, it was What a precious thing!

So although Kaito can understand Loki's actions, but he will never let him get forgiveness from himself easily——

Do you want to take the most important position beside him as a matter of course again?

sure!if only……

I can afford to bear Kaito's rage completely!

As punishment for Loki forcibly sealing his memory regardless of his own wishes, Kaito deliberately did not give any hints or reminders to Loki, in order to let Loki remember him equally deeply, he How to take responsibility for your original decisions and actions.

But even so, Kaito never really wanted to hurt or upset Loki.

At best, he just wants to teach Loki a lesson, so that he will stop being so overbearing and arbitrary when something happens next time, and he will not leave any power of choice to himself, and he definitely does not really want Loki to pay any so-called "" cost"!

So now, after seeing that Loki was really irritated by Frey's "Immediately Winning" declaration, which may not even be half true, and even has a faint tendency to riot with divine power, Kaito is surprised and chuckled (you are stealing What do you like...) Besides, there are naturally lingering worries——

He doesn't know who sealed Loki's memory of him, and he doesn't know much about divine power or seals, but Kaito also vaguely understands that no matter what kind of seal is forcibly touched, There should be no harm and danger at all.

So on the surface, although he said that he did not remind Loki to "punish" him for daring to forget himself, but in fact, Kaito did not know whether the reminder from himself would cause too strong a seal on Loki's memory. The stimulation caused him to suffer unnecessary dangers, so he kept silent about the past of the two, and could only wait silently for Loki to remember...

but now!Just because of Frey's momentary playfulness—of course, it may also be out of some kind of prank or revenge—the seal on Loki's memory seems to have been forcibly touched, and even the whole body has been peaceful and stable. His divine power also showed a tendency to be chaotic and violent...

This made Kaito wish he could immediately pull out Frey and strangle him to death!

——This is obviously a matter between him and Loki, you, an outsider, came here to stir up the situation and join in the fun!

If something really happened to Loki because of this...

With a sneer, Kaito made a note of someone in his heart, and then immediately put it behind his head without hesitation, and continued to pay attention to Loki who was suspected of being forced to touch the memory seal.

And what happened to a certain god that Kaito was worried about at this time?

Let's go back in time a little bit, to the moment when Frey dropped that imperative proclamation—

In fact, Loki himself doesn't quite understand why he has more than necessary interest and concern for the human boy named Kuroba Kaito—it seems that from the accidental first encounter between the two, his thoughts From time to time, it will be drawn uncontrollably towards the existence of a teenager.

Loki found that he couldn't seem to stop thinking about things related to the teenager, even after the threatening letter incident involving the teenager's friend was successfully resolved, there should be no other contact between the two.

But it doesn't matter what the reason is. As a god, Loki understands the true meaning of the word "obedience to the heart".

So he ran to the boy's house in the dark, just to announce to the boy that he would ask him to... "Teach me a lot".

Secretly imprinting his own divine power on the young man, Loki thought maybe he could lure the young man to his detective agency as a part-time assistant or something?In this way, the time that two people can spend together should be able to increase a lot, right?Just like... at that time...

--that time?

When such an inexplicable thought to Loki appeared in his mind for the first time, Loki did not choose to ignore it, but compared it with the moment he saw the black-haired boy for the first time. The undeniable sadness and nostalgia that surged up for a reason are closely linked together——

He suspected again that maybe his memory had really been tampered with.

The boy is so strange and familiar to him, obviously he just met not long ago, but sometimes, it will give him a subtle illusion that the two have actually known each other for a long time.

But now, it seems that maybe... it wasn't an illusion?

Wanting to retrieve the memories he may have lost, and wanting to follow his heart and get closer to the boy, Luo Ji strongly intervened in the boy's life, just like an ordinary friend, occasionally asking the boy out for dinner, shopping, drinking tea and chatting.

Unexpectedly, the boy did not refuse his invitation, although every time he seemed to agree reluctantly.

With Loki's keenness, it is not difficult to detect the expectation and disappointment hidden in the boy's eyes that occasionally looked at him, which made him more convinced of his previous guess.

However, the two "knowledge" for a short time after all (less than two weeks...), it is impossible for Rocky to ask the question "did we know each other before" so bluntly, he can only wait patiently Wait until the friendship between the two deepens or some kind of opportunity comes randomly...

——But what I didn't expect was that the opportunity didn't come, but a disruptive Frey came.

Of course, Loki knew that Frey's so-called Kaito seizure declaration was just a malicious joke, he might not really be interested in Kaito, more...probably just want to stimulate himself.

What really made Loki fall into boundless anger was not Frey's declaration, but that sentence...

"So, you haven't thought of Kaito."

——It turns out that he really had known the boy a long time ago, it turns out...his memory has really been tampered with!

The pride of being a god made Loki unable to control the rising anger around him.

Even in the most desolate and powerless days when he was demoted to the world by Odin just now, when he had no strength and couldn't immediately adapt to human society, he had never felt so angry and angry!

Just because Odin had tampered with his memory, Loki especially hated this kind of thing.

He couldn't bear the fact that his own memory and cognition might have been tampered with by others, because in that case...

It feels like my own existence may not be completely real.

——This is actually a very dangerous thing for the gods.

So how could Loki not be angry?

But after all, he was not completely deprived of his mind by the anger.

Loki still remembers Kaito standing right behind him.

If he just allowed his anger to flood unscrupulously like this, he would definitely... hurt that boy...

Thinking this way, when the surprisingly familiar palm tentatively stretched forward and grasped his palm, Loki obediently withdrew his violent power.

Turning around, looking quietly at the black-haired boy who tried his best to keep calm, but couldn't hide his worry and concern in his eyes, Loki raised the corners of his lips, and slowly laughed out loud——

"Kaito, I'll take you home."

As if gathering endless moonlight all over his body, the blond youth strangely covered with a layer of silver light in the night said so, and then...

Slowly squeezed Kaito's hand.

At the same time, at Tokyo International Airport, thousands of miles away, a young man in an old-fashioned British detective uniform walked out of the airport hall with his beloved falcon named "Watson"...
