[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

On this side, Xiaomeng fell asleep peacefully, while on the other side, watching the young boy from the Ijiin family fall asleep into his arms because of inhaling a small amount of hypnotic gas, Kaito couldn't help but feel deeply. Sighed.

I looked around for a while, found a corner with relatively dim lighting and settled the person first, and then...

Facing the delicate little face of the black-haired boy who was sleeping sweetly, Kaito couldn't stop worrying again——

In fact, he didn't want to resort to so many drastic measures as soon as they met.

Whether it's directly exposing the real body of the little monster thief without any sympathy, or secretly releasing hypnotic gas when the children are flustered and unsuspecting, neither is a calm and elegant magician or a magician. What a chic and unrestrained phantom thief should do.

It's just...Kaito also had reasons and reasons why he had to do this.

——Being severely stimulated by the entire subversion of the world view brought about by the appearance of the Yijuin boy is a minor matter, and the major issue is not to allow this first act of his debut to be interfered with in any way!

The reunion and recognition of Terai in this operation is a very important and indispensable part of Kaito's next plan. Without this incident, many subsequent actions of Kaito would not be found. The justifiable opportunity and reason, and most of these actions are related to the mysterious dark organization that planned to murder Pirates in the first place-this is what Kaito is most concerned about.

"Sorry, it's about my father, I can only wrong you temporarily..."

Silently expressing his apology in his heart, Kaito immediately pulled out a big gray blanket, and carefully wrapped the little black-clothed monster thief in it.

Following the opaque cover at the corner of the building, Kaito used the escape rope he had prepared earlier to hide the boy in a safe corner he had observed in advance.

"I'll pick you up after I finish my plan, little guy."

After confirming that the boy was indeed in a hidden location that neither the police nor ordinary citizens wandering around would easily notice or approach, Kaito turned around and began to wait patiently for the call of the old butler named Terai. Appear……

What happened next happened as expected.

On the top floor, Kaito waited for Butler Terai who was disguised as Phantom Thief Kidd, and learned from him the truth that his father did not die in a magic accident, but was murdered by man...

"Grandpa, my dad...is he really Kaitou Kidd?"

—Look at this forbearance and trembling voice!

Kaito felt that, with his acting skills, he would go to Hollywood and come back with a little gold medal.

And looking at Butler Terai's expression that suddenly became powerless the moment he heard Kaito's "questioning", it is not difficult to see that this old man was definitely taken aback by Kaito's superb acting skills Yes, I don't see anything wrong with it at all.

So the matter developed to the end, Kaito got Steward Terai's apology and gratitude as he wished, and at the same time, he also successfully captured one of the goals of his trip - the peerless treasure with a market value of [-] million, the pupil of the moon.

Under the horrified gaze of a group of detectives headed by Police Officer Nakamori, the whole person leaned back lightly, seemingly falling directly from a high altitude without protection, but then the dummy for a substitute who was suspended in the air strangely Under the cover of the cover, the real Kaitou Kidd has already slipped to the ground quickly along the safety rope tied before.

He ran to the corner of the building and picked up the little boy from Yijiyuan who was still wrapped in a blanket and was sleeping peacefully and sweetly. Riding the night, the figure of the white-clothed ghost thief quickly merged into the darkness...

※※※

As soon as Xiaoling regained consciousness, she found that she was sinking in the middle of a big soft bed. The coat, cloak and top hat on her body had been untied at some point, and they were neatly stacked on the bed close at hand. bedside.

The blank and confused expression only lasted for a short moment. In the next second, the little black-haired and black-eyed little Phantom Thief quickly sat up, staring warily at the soft chair that was sitting leisurely on the opposite side of the big bed. In the middle of the day, he stared at his white-clothed colleagues with a half-smile——

"Kid?!"

The obvious vigilance and the faint sense of grievance in the boy's tone successfully made Kaito, who was sitting aside and admiring the beautiful boy's sleeping face for a long time, slightly raise the corners of his lips, and let out a series of low smiles from his throat: " twenty faces."

"It's been famous for a long time, I never thought... It's really not as good as seeing it."

His face became more and more blurred under the dim indoor light because only a small seat lamp beside the bed was turned on. The monster in white smiled and nodded. That tone should be full of admiration and appreciation, but listening to In the ears of the Yijiyuan youth at this moment, it is indescribable that it makes people angry...

"At this time, why do you still call it 'Twenty Faces' hypocritically!"

Can't help but glared at the other party viciously, the black-haired boy who has never tried such a frustration like this time actually knows that it is because his skills are not as good as others, and he was inexplicably pierced by his opponent at the beginning of the meeting He has lost his real body, so he is deliberately venting his anger and bluffing.

however……

Even if you know it yourself, so what?

——After all, Yiji Yuanling is just an ordinary little boy who has just turned ten years old.

No matter how gentle, kind, precocious and stable the accountant of the CLAMP Academy Elementary School Student Union is portrayed by the aunts of the pliers, they can't change his core. And feel ashamed, angry and sad, the fact that ordinary children need to be comforted and enlightened.

And he is also quite aware of this fact, so Kaito actually doesn't care the slightest bit about the strong and hostile disguise that the young man deliberately made at this time.

"If it's not called Twenty Faces...Xiao Ling wants to say, can I call you 'Xiao Ling'?"

Saying this with a smile on his face, Kaito hurriedly got up before the suddenly awkward child could refute again, and within a few steps came to the bed where the boy was—

"Hey, Xiao Ling, I'm sorry before."

Hearing these sincere and apologetic words in the young man's ears, he was instantly surprised and astonished. At the same time, it also miraculously calmed down the unspeakable irritability and resentment in the young man's heart. The black-haired boy who looked like a kitten with fried fur instantly blushed, and he muttered and couldn't say a word.

Seeing the young man's performance like this, the look on Kaito's face could not help but gradually softened: "Actually, I really didn't intend to reveal Xiaoling's identity. It was just an incident that happened at the Tokyo Art Museum tonight." The series of events has more significance and value to me than successfully winning the "Pupil of the Inuzuki", so I cannot allow the slightest possibility of accidents to appear—if possible, I would certainly like to have a fight with Xiaoling It's an upright contest between strange thieves, but this time I really can't afford the price of the failure of the plan, Xiaoling can understand, right?"

Being watched so tenderly and full of expectations, the reasons given by the other party are not really so incomprehensible and unacceptable. In addition, although I have "coerced" myself badly, other than making myself dizzy and unable to act, The other party really didn't do any harm to him, what's more, he took him back home and took care of him carefully...

Thinking about it this way, the gentle and considerate boy Yiji Yuanling couldn't continue to resent and hate this white-clothed colleague in front of him who was full of gentleness and tolerance.

"This time...forget it." Although he could understand and accept it, there was still a little awkwardness in his heart, so the black-haired boy secretly turned his head away, and stopped looking back at the man who was watching him tenderly. own boy in white.

However, at the next moment, a pair of warm big hands suddenly covered his cheeks, turning the black-haired boy's delicate face around, aiming at the breath-takingly handsome face right in front of him...

"Hey, I know Xiaoling's real body, Xiaoling has also seen my real face now, let's... even it out, shall we?"

The warm breath gently brushed over the boy's already flushed cheeks, and the little black-haired boy lowered his long eyelashes like a fan, and could not make any other response except for a soft and soft voice.

And it is precisely because of this that the boy did not notice that at the moment when he nodded in agreement, what kind of sly smile flashed in the eyes of his white-clothed colleague who was watching him gently...

——The memory is over.

Kaito lay on the bed and held up the crystal clear gemstone in his hand, watching this peerless jewel polished into a diamond shape refracted colorful halos in the sun. Although it was verified later that it was not a Pandora's stone, but This does not detract from the beauty and value of the gemstone itself.

"Although I also want to return or simply throw the stolen artworks to those in need like the original book, but... how can I say this is the first time I have won the spoils of war..."

Unconsciously murmuring, Kaito opened his palm violently, and held the beautiful gemstone emitting bright light into his palm—perhaps, this will also be the biggest difference between him and the original Kidd.

——Of course, this does not mean that Kaito is greedy and plans a phantom thief operation in order to get something.

It's just that Kaito doesn't want himself to miss too many times like the original Conan.

Whether it is a magician or a strange thief, they all look forward to and enjoy the fun of "challenge".

The feeling of changing the whole situation by one's own power while life is hanging by a thread, making the audience show expressions of wonder or horror...it's really hard to stop.

So for Kaito, this fun-filled challenge is what he looks forward to and pursues.

His so-called biggest difference means that he will do his best to compete with the protagonist aura radiated by a famous Mr. , and finally fell back into the hands of a certain Mr. Detective, Kaito will try hard to keep them all in the palm of his hand!

And the beginning of this fun-filled challenge is the pupil of the moon in Kaito's hand, which should have fallen back into the hands of Police Officer Nakamori due to an embarrassing accident!

"From the very first moment, the road to the ending has taken a very different course. Mr. Detective, are you ready? Until we meet again under the guidance of fate? - Bastard! That idiot thief What are you doing again!" Goosebumps were frightened by his literary [beep——] accent, are they there?

The boy in a blue suit and red tie wearing glasses snapped his phone shut, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably, trying to ignore the inexplicable text message from a strange thief. (Speaking of why you have each other's phone numbers==)

Looking up at the bright moon above his head, the young detective who was forced to shrunk slightly narrowed his eyes, as if... he saw the pure white figure who came under the moonlight when he first met...

——The Pupils of the Moon · End.
