[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

If you want to talk about how Kaito got involved with Maoyan, in fact...it's a complete coincidence.

It started about a year or so ago, or to be precise, since Kaidou accidentally broke Yu's other identity, and then the two became good friends without knowing it. Dou also does not need to study and practice magic and monster skills. When the two will meet up to go out together during the holidays, eat delicious food, watch movies, go shopping in large shopping malls, visit various exhibitions that are interesting to each other, and sometimes come to each other when they are interested. I will even take a two-day, one-night excursion, go to the beach and go to the mountains, ski and soak in hot springs in winter, eat watermelon in summer...

Even now, Kaito has officially inherited the name "Kidd", and from time to time he has to set a time to hunt the target, and Yuu is also busier than before because of his rising popularity. The way of getting along with each other has not changed in any way.

——Of course, in the eyes of some people, this is particularly an eyesore... =w=

And the coincidence mentioned before happened exactly at the time of a holiday gathering between Kaito and You more than a year ago.

That was one of the few times when You asked where to take Kaito...

"The chicken wrap sandwich at that store tastes good, and the takeaway coffee is not bad."

——Kaito remembered that Yuu introduced himself like this in a flat tone as usual.

But in fact, Kaito knew that ever since Yu's little assistant ordered you a takeaway from that coffee shop with a strange name, unless the place of work was too far away, all of Yu's work meals basically came from this coffee shop. It's not a big family-run coffee shop.

Although Yu himself is not a person who is very picky about food, and his love for the food from this cafe is largely a personal taste, which does not necessarily prove how innocent it is. However, for Kaito, his friend's desire to share his favorite food and shops with him is what he cares about.

So Kaito naturally accepted Yuu's invitation on the spot without any hesitation.

And after that, the facts also proved that Yuu and Kaito's tastes... are really very similar.

The chicken roll sandwich, one of the coffee shop’s special signatures that is highly respected and loved by You, has also received full praise from Kaito. Coffee is indeed not difficult for non-professionals (?) who prefer fruit juice and black tea, so since then, this cafe named "Maoyan" has become a coffee shop for Kaito and You. It is one of the places that people go to the most when they get together on holidays.

The reason why Kaito didn't realize at the beginning that the owner of this shop was one of his colleagues, the beauty thief group "Cat's Eye", was because, first of all, it was unknown whether Kaito and Yuu were too coincidental or not. As a result of fate, every time the two of them visit Maoyan Café, they will meet the second lady, Xiao Tong, who happened to go out to date her police boyfriend Mr. Toshio Uchikai, and the third lady, Xiao Ai, either has club activities or is out on business. Or simply go to deliver food, leaving only the eldest lady and young lady to work in the store alone.

The result is that after more than a year, Kaidou and Yu, who are not particularly frequent, but who appear in the store very regularly, have become very familiar with Xiaolei, and usually talk to each other with "Sister Xiaolei" "Sister Xiaolei" cried, but they didn't see a single face of the other two beauties from the Laisheng family who were also shop owners.

Secondly, it is because of the additional influence of the seal Loki placed in Kaito's memory.

Ordinarily, even if I didn’t meet the other two sisters from the next life family, but the special name of “Cat’s Eye” plus the dog-sounding police station opposite the coffee shop, and the overly obvious features of the three beautiful sisters, it’s impossible not to recall them. Kaito has a little impression and suspicion, but because of the seal that Loki made on Kaito's memory before, another unexpected additional effect brought by the seal is that Kaito realizes that this world is actually a comprehensive manga. The sharpness and insight of the truth of the world have been greatly weakened invisibly.

It is probably because Kaito realized for the first time that he had traveled to a comprehensive world because of the encounter with Loki before, so when Loki sealed Kaito's memory of himself, it was also equivalent to sealing in a disguised form. Kaito's cognition of the existence of "Zongman World", so if Kaito didn't put this fact in front of him clearly like when Kaito met Xiao Ling for the first time, then Kaito guessed from the clues Judgment, the possibility of realizing that this world is actually Zongman... is almost infinitely approaching zero.

So even though Kaito has frequently been in and out of the Maoyan Cafe with You for more than a year, he has never noticed that the owner of the cafe is actually his colleague. Until he met Loki again, the seal in his mind was triggered. After unblocking the conditions and completely eliminating them, Kaito slowly found many evidences from his previous memories that could prove the comprehensive nature of this world...

——Thinking about it now, he still couldn't forgive Loki so easily == + once again proved his narrow-mindedness and vengeful attributes without any pressure, starting with the idea of ​​establishing a phantom thief alliance, I have been planning to win sister Xiaolei and the other two sisters of her family into the alliance Kaito. I originally planned to test Xiaolei's reaction without any trace when I went to the coffee shop with you next time, but I didn't expect that, Because of the arrival of the white horse and his doubts and guesses about Kaito's unknown reasons, he had to advance the plan...

"So this is definitely a bad year!" Walking on the way to the Maoyan Cafe, after Kaito received his call, Loki, who came to meet him at the school gate after school, complained in a muffled voice, "I I knew that nothing good would happen if I met that guy with a white horse! If you only refer to me personally, he is much more dangerous than Kid Edogawa."

At least Conan is the one who hurts passers-by, while Baima is the one who hurts Kaito because of a certain inertia of the plot!

"This is great. The original plan of Wen Tun's prudence is all in vain! I didn't want to go to Sister Xiaolei for a showdown and negotiate so bluntly!"

Regarding the three sisters in the next life family, although they haven't had contact with Xiao Tong and Xiao Ai, it's hard to make a judgment, but as far as Xiao Lei is concerned, Kaidou definitely appreciates it very much.

Xiaolei, as the eldest sister of the Laisheng family and the main person in charge of the coffee shop, has a calm and calm personality, but also has the gentle and considerate characteristics of the eldest sister, and her attitude towards all the guests has always been just right, neither too polite nor too polite Enthusiastic, although there is a difference between the treatment of strangers and regular customers, but it will not make people feel dissatisfied, the distance between advance and retreat is just right, she is a very measured and very wise mature woman.

Although Kaito is crooked, it doesn't mean he hates or refuses to recognize women.

On the contrary, for an outstanding woman like Xiaolei, Kaito's respect and appreciation is even far more than that of men.

Of course because of this, Kaito didn't want to destroy the good relationship he had established with Xiaolei without knowing it——

If possible, he really hopes to have such a gentle and tolerant elder sister as Xiaolei...

"Don't worry so much, if that Miss Future Life is really a sensible and tolerant woman as you said, then I believe that the next development should not be as bad as you imagined."

Sensing the inexplicable depression in Kaito's mood, Loki raised his hand, and gently wrapped his shoulders around Kaito's shoulders in a gesture that would not make Kaito feel unhappy: "After all, the formation of the alliance is for all the monsters who join in. It is said that there is only benefit and no loss, and you did not invite the three sisters of the afterlife family with the purpose of asking for something for no reason. Illegal, and then have some bad assumptions about you."

"So...don't worry."

"Besides, as the initiator and founder of the alliance, as well as the legendary Phantom Thief who has left many criminal policemen at a loss, the current appearance of being so entangled and timid...doesn't look like Kaito you?"

In a few words, Kaito not only easily untied Kaito's knot, but also cleverly used the method of provocation, so that Kaito knew that he was deliberately provoking himself, but he was willing to take advantage of the situation to be aroused. The blond evil god looked at The black-haired boy with a bright smile on his side once again raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and his eyes gradually showed an unmistakable pampering——

His Kaito would not allow others to show such distress and entanglement, almost blatantly declaring "care" expression!

He didn't realize how strong his desire to monopolize Kaito had become. Loki just wanted to see with his own eyes, what kind of... Excellent--

女性

※※※

The naturally curly long black hair is like thick algae, scattered all the way down the well-shaped shoulders, reflecting that fair and delicate face, making it look more small and cute.Underneath the carefully drawn pair of curved eyebrows is a pair of deep eyes with brilliance deeply introverted. Underneath, there is a pointed nose, full red lips, and... the eye-catching star under the corner of the mouth. The right beauty mole that shines in front of my eyes...

The woman standing in front of Loki and Kaito has the charming demeanor unique to mature women, but at the same time has a reassuring and calm temperament, which makes people feel amazing after the first sight, but there is nothing wrong with it. Some charming fantasies, but only look at her with pure admiration for beauty...

——I have to admit that, as Kaito said, this is... a very outstanding woman.

"Miss Little Tears!"

He greeted him with a smile, and at this moment, there was no trace of distress and tension on Kaito's face.

"Ah, Kuaito-kun." Unsurprisingly, another person stayed to look at the store. The beautiful woman with a beauty mole on her mouth smiled, and the moment her gaze turned to Loki, there was a slight hint of it. Surprised: "Huh? Didn't you come with Youjun today?"

And... at this time...

Xiaolei, who usually only sees the duo of Kaito and Yuu on holidays, was a little surprised to see Kaito not coming to the store with Yuu boy this time after school.

But she didn't ask any more questions, but immediately showed a gentle smile: "Kaito is still the same, right? So... what about this guest?"

"He's the same as me." Before Loki could speak, Kaito replied directly on his behalf.

And the person who was represented didn't feel annoyed, just nodded to Xiaolei with a smile, indicating that he would do what Kaito said.

The undisguised connivance and pampering in those eyes and expressions made the beautiful black-haired woman raise her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't say much.

Soon, the things ordered by the two were delivered by Xiaolei himself.

"Two chicken roll sandwiches, two cups of hot chocolate, a large plate of fruit salad, plus two plates of loving snacks from our store-Xiao Tong just baked it this afternoon~ I can't say anything about the delicious taste."

"Then I won't be polite! Thank you, Miss Xiaolei~" Kaito didn't show any pretense, and directly sent a big and bright smile.

The black-haired beauty then softened her eyes a little, smiled and waved her hands, and turned to greet other guests.

Kaito was not in a hurry, and while he started to enjoy his chicken roll sandwich, he did not forget to urge Loki: "Try it, try it, this is Miss Xiaolei's handicraft, it tastes really good~"

The blond-haired young man was quite dumbfounded by his sales-like tone.

……

By the time the two of them had finished their dinner in a leisurely manner, almost half of the customers in the store had already left. Kuai Dou saw that Xiaolei was sitting behind the bar counter and seemed to have been idle, so he took a deep breath. He called the other party to himself and Loki.

"What's wrong? Do you want to pay?"

Facing Kaito, Xiaolei's tone was obviously more gentle than that of other guests.

"Of course I want that too, but I asked Sister Xiaolei to come over... Actually, I have other things I want to talk about."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Sister Xiaolei, are you... a cat's eye?"

"!!"

Kaito's straightforward question obviously caught Xiaolei completely by surprise.

The black-haired beauty who had always been calm and rational didn't even have time to hide her expression, completely exposing the momentary shock and surprise to Kaito and Loki's sight...

"It seems... yes." The smile on his face was not frozen by the sudden change of Xiaolei's expression, Kaito met those familiar gentle eyes, and whispered the reason for his visit: "Please don't be nervous, I No malice. Fact... I'm here to form an alliance."

--what?

After encountering several accidents in a short period of time, Xiaolei was unable to react to the meaning of Kuai Dou's words in the first place.

And Kaito didn't rush, just sat there quietly and looked at Xiaolei with a smile, until the soft smile he was familiar with was put on the other party's face again...

"Kaito-kun, you just said... an alliance?"

"Yes, an alliance."

Under Xiaolei's slightly stunned gaze, Kaidou calmly started from his other identity, and told Xiaolei little by little the idea of ​​the phantom thief alliance that he and Dark had thoroughly perfected before. ...

"...So, this alliance is actually created for the exchange of experience and information sharing between the strange thieves. It is completely free and absolutely confidential. It belongs to the alliance between the strange thieves."

Finally, Kaito sums it up like this.

"And the reason why we approached you, Sister Xiaolei, is because the alliance needs a reliable network technician. And if my guess is correct, among the other two sisters of Sister Xiaolei's family, there should be a computer expert. Do masters exist?"

Looking at the handsome young man with a frank smile and a hint of cunning between his brows and eyes, the black-haired woman shook her head with a smile, and a soft smile appeared in her eyes again: "You are so sure that I will Agree? What if I don't agree?"

"Then you are not the wise and mighty Miss Xiaolei I know." Kaito blinked his eyes playfully, seeing Xiaolei's reaction, Kaidou knew that he had already succeeded in half.

As for the other half?Of course it is...

"Okay, you convinced me. But I have to discuss the details with the two younger sisters at home, and I will give you an answer tomorrow... how about it?"

"Of course. Sister Xiaolei, I'm waiting for your good news!"

After the goal was achieved, Kaito took Loki to check out and left without any further stopovers.

"Are you so sure that they will agree to you in the end?" Loki raised his eyebrows when he left the coffee shop and looked at Kaito with a relaxed face.

"Miss Xiaolei and her family are all smart people." Kaito smiled and didn't reply directly.

It's just that both he and Loki are very clear about the unfinished meaning of his words——

The next life family is all smart people, and smart people... will often make the most correct judgments.

Sure enough, on the second night, Kaito received a call from Xiaolei, saying that they agreed to join the Phantom Thieves Alliance.

And after that day, with Terai, Nagashi, and Niwa's parents and grandpas as the behind-the-scenes organization and liaison personnel, and the youngest daughter of the Laisheng family, Laishengai, as the network security manager, the phantom thief alliance, which was originally just an idea, finally began to be truly established. .

On the day when the alliance's internal chat room was completely completed, Kaito issued another notice, and this time, besides Detective Baima, there was another one waiting at the scene...

Surprise.
