[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

On the first floor of the Sparrow Detective Agency, Loki's studio and private living room.

After a long time, the small sofa group for entertaining guests opposite the desk has finally reproduced the once very common seating layout——

The black-haired human teenager was smiling, sitting quietly next to the blond handsome god, holding a very nostalgic Anye special honey milk tea in his hand, and the light brown glass low table in front of him was filled with various dishes. On the opposite side of them, a beautiful black-haired young man wearing round rimless glasses is still delivering (?) more snacks and refreshments to the table...

At the same time, the super cute little black dog Fenrir, who is so cute that it makes one's palms itch, can't wait to grab it, hug him into his arms and rub it hard In the middle, while happily wagging his tail and enjoying the boy's feeding, he never forgets to occasionally stick out his little head to rub his Daddy, which perfectly interprets the full meaning of the word "cute without limits"...

"Phew~ Anye's honey milk tea is really the best! It's such a nostalgic taste..."

He also handed a piece of cocoa-flavored special ice cream to Fenrir's little black dog who was waiting to be fed (...==), and Kuaidou squinted his eyes and sighed.

Hearing the praise, the beautiful young man with glasses bowed very humbly: "Where, Kuai Dou-kun is too much of a prize."

He learned this skill specially for his father who had lost most of his divine power. Now he can get the affirmation of Kaito-kun who is the most important of his father. He is a bit stubborn about Anno. For hidden father control, it is enough to be happy.

"So, do you want another cup of milk tea? If you drink it now, the temperature is just right." He picked up the teapot with a smile, as if the blank five years did not exist, and Anno's tone and demeanor were the same as those of the few people before they separated. It was exactly the same in those years.

Kaito also responded with a bright smile: "Of course."

"But speaking of it, I was really shocked when we first met. I didn't expect you and Fenrir to come back so soon. I heard from Loki earlier that you may have to work there for a while longer. .”

So a sudden attack or something is too much a test of his heart's endurance!Fortunately, I didn't show any non-gorgeous and stupid expressions at that time...

"Ah, did you worry Kaito-kun? In fact, it's nothing. What remains in the God Realm are just some minor problems. Balder's consciousness has been completely dispersed by Loki-sama. Without his trouble, me and It's much safer and easier for Nissan to handle things."

In addition, my father specially sent a message to him and his eldest brother through his younger sister Hull, asking them to come back as late as possible...

This means that if you have nothing to do, you have to find something for yourself to delay the return time!

Turning his face, the second son of the evil god, who is obviously a ferocious and brutal snake but who doesn't know how to do it, is more like a loyal dog than his brother said, facing the unknown Kaito boy and the seemingly calm sitting On the one hand, he looked at his own father from an angle that a human teenager couldn't notice, but his eyes were full of warnings and hints, and he felt a lot of pressure...

It's a pity that Anno-kun's entanglement and distress Kaito was completely unaware of it.

——No, perhaps it should be said that Kaito never thought that Loki, who seemed to be a good father at all, would threaten or warn his mature and stable second son because of his relationship.

So naturally, Kaito continued the topic without the slightest doubt: "Oh, I feel relieved when Anno said that. So after this time, there will really be no more troubles in the God Realm. Are you here?"

Kaito would ask this question because the real reunion between him and Loki was still short, especially when the two of them were still on a luxury cruise ship that was not on their own territory, even far away from land, so Kaito had a lot of things to do. He didn't ask Loki and didn't take the initiative to explain. Originally, he planned to communicate with each other in detail when he came back. Now, taking advantage of Anno and Fenrir, Kaito felt that it would be good to solve all the problems together. .

On the other hand, Anno got hints from his father's eyes, and naturally knew everything about Kaito's problem: "Kaito-kun, please really rest assured this time, Baldr dragged Odin's consciousness completely dissipated, There were also many middle gods and high gods who were implicated and died. Although the situation in the God Realm had basically stabilized before Nisan and I came back, the turmoil this time really brought a lot of trouble to the Scandinavian god system. Huge damage that has never been seen before—even the three goddesses of fate almost fell completely, if Hull didn't see the situation as wrong and used the sea of ​​death to protect their consciousness..."

Hearing Anno's explanation, Kaito was secretly startled.

He had indeed thought that after experiencing this great turmoil, the God Realm might fall into a state of great decline and chaos, but he never expected that the situation would be so serious...

"In this case, is it really okay for Loki to leave the God Realm and come to the present world now? Hasn't he already become the main god?" It really doesn't matter if he doesn't stay in the God Realm at such an important time?

...but wait!

"I remember... It was indeed said before that the main god can't just go down to the realm?"

If this is the case, then what is the Loki who appeared in front of his eyes now?Divine power projection?Illusion clone?or something else?

Black Feather Non-Protoss Kaito Boy said that he really can't guess about it.

And as a qualified lover, Rocky is of course obliged to solve problems for his own Kaito all the time (?).

"The lord god can't go down easily, Kuai Dou, you remember right." The blond god said as he picked up the cute little black dog who was idly playing with his little ears, hugged him in his arms, and gently smoothed his hair twice until The little black dog narrowed his eyes and showed an expression of great enjoyment, and then continued to explain in a leisurely tone: "But right now, this rule has lost its ability to restrict me."

First of all, because he once lost all his divine power and was forcibly expelled from the God Realm and thrown into the Human Realm, as Loki gradually recovered to his original level of strength, the laws of the world were also being adjusted accordingly.

That is to say, every time Loki becomes stronger, the upper limit of the strongest power that can exist in the human world allowed by the law will increase a little bit accordingly. Over the years, the limitations such as the upper limit of power will gradually increase with Loki. The return of full strength has long existed in name only.

And as for the legal restrictions on the prohibition of the lower realm by the gods with the priesthood of the main god...

"After Odin disappeared, although I took over the godhead of the main god, I never really sat on the throne representing the position of the main god."

This is equivalent to taking advantage of a loophole in the law—taking over the godhead, but not accepting the godhood, so strictly speaking, Loki has become a special existence that is both the main god and not the main god.

In other words, he has the power and status of the main god but does not assume the obligations and responsibilities of the main god. Speaking of it, he is simply taking advantage of it...

"As expected of an evil god ==" Kaito's face darkened when he heard this explanation.

If he hadn't known for a long time that the law came into being naturally without self-awareness, he would want to shed tears of sympathy for it now—it's too tragic and pitiful!

If Loki does not assume the responsibility of the main god, the law must take it on his behalf, and because the law has no private consciousness, it will not have preferences and selfish desires. This aspect can ensure post-disaster reconstruction (wait for this description... poof!) The Nordic God Realm can be established with a completely just order and rules. On the other hand... the few gods left after this catastrophe are resolutely forced again, because... what they are facing is not If you can know it with reason and move it with emotion, if you really can't, you can still play and roll, break the jar, break the jar, or simply pretend to be the poor god of the same kind, but it is a law that cannot be communicated at all...

Puchi!Thinking about it, I suddenly feel so pitiful and happy...

Turning his face away, a certain human teenager who firmly refused to admit that he was gloating quickly changed the subject: "Oh, then, Loki, you are too lucky."

——In the Holy Grail War, it is an existence beyond the EX level. It is definitely a cheat, dear!

Loki just smiled.

So the topic about the God Realm ends here.Loki and the others didn't seem to care much about it, but Kaito thought it was such a bad thing, the past was over, why did he always bring it up or think about it and make himself uncomfortable?Better to just ignore it.

Next, everyone briefly talked about their recent encounters. This time Fenrir talked a lot more than the previous silence. Kaito thinks this is probably because he hates trouble and the Nordic gods. The dog felt that his younger brother had finished explaining the things that should be explained, and after that it was time for the family to chat, so it was resurrected with full blood...

All in all, for Kaito, this day was full of surprises and joy.

The return of Anno and Fenrir filled the Sparrow Detective Agency, which only had Kaito and Loki except for a few familiars, with the long-lost and familiar laughter again, and until night fell, they had a good time with Fenrir. The rising Kaito didn't take the initiative to leave here and go back to his home.

This made Loki praise his eldest son very much afterward-don't care about the black dog and the white dog, the one who can keep his lover is a good dog! (Hey! That's your son, isn't it a real pet dog? ==)

In any case, with the recovery of Loki's memory and the return of Anno and Fenrir, Kaito's peaceful daily life has also changed a mode, becoming more fulfilling and joyful, if not for him If you want to transform into that world-renowned white-clothed ghost thief on certain nights from time to time, this little day...

It was too peaceful and comfortable.

And just after Kaito pretended to be helpless and "complained" to Loki...

"Huh? You mean, you got a 'warning' call after your successful operation tonight?"

Looking up from the case files in his hand, Loki raised his eyebrows and looked at his lover who had just returned from a successful operation.

"How did the other party know your phone number? Has your real identity been exposed?"

That would be really troublesome.

Fortunately, Kaito quickly rejected this possibility.

"No, the other party called a public phone booth that was very close to me at that time."

But Kaito is actually very clear about who the caller is and what their purpose is.

He waited patiently for a full eight years, and finally at this moment, he ushered in the opportunity to find his father who was a thief!

It would be a lie to say that Kaito never thought of asking Loki to find and rescue his father after he got acquainted with him.

But Kaito couldn't say anything in the end, because he found that the mysterious power that worked on Pirates and Chikage was also effective on Loki, and it wouldn't be weakened because he was a god.

So at that time, Kaito could only express his own guess that there might be someone else's deliberate frame-up behind the magic accident encountered by Pirate One, but he couldn't say anything else about it.

And after that, after many experiments, Kaito found that he could still take advantage of the convenience of some foresight, but... the premise is that the objective clues given by the world itself are enough for him to use rational thinking to deduce some other The "truth" you want others to know.

For example, such as the phone booth incident this time, even if Kaito knew exactly who was behind the scenes, he couldn't reveal any information about the other party to Loki at this time.

If you want to tell others about the existence of this mysterious organization that murdered Roichi, you have to wait until the plot. Kaito stole the gem "Blue Birthday" and was hunted down by the other party, and finally got it from the little leader over there. It can only be done after knowing that the "accident" encountered by Pirates [-] years ago is likely to be related to them.

And at that time, a lot of information that Kaito could not say before may also have the possibility of being known to others-because theoretically, Kaito can deduce the content of this information...

So, after waiting for this small opportunity for nearly ten years, now, when it finally came to Kaito, how could he not feel excited and joyful?

No matter what kind of mysterious organization he may be blocked or even assassinated by the other party, even if Kaito doesn't have a lover of the main god level to escort him at all times, he will never back down!

It has been too long since he lost Pirate One, now, it is time for the Heiyu family to be fully restored again!

Showing a fearless and hearty smile to the blond lover with a serious face, Kaito took the initiative to lean towards the other side: "Don't show such an expression, as if I have encountered some great danger."

He still has a housekeeper's life-saving trump card that has been hidden all the time, so he doesn't need to be polite to deal with this group of scumbags who dare not show their eyes!

The blond god couldn't help but chuckled when he heard the words: "That's right, my Kaito...is really capable."

——Yeah, why did he forget that the person in his arms... is not a weak person who needs his unilateral protection!

As if thinking of something interesting, the corners of the blond evil god's mouth slowly raised a strange smile that was obviously soft, but gave people a sense of danger——

But even so...

He also wanted to see who it was...Kaito who dared to covet his family!

...==So, there is a problem with the sincerity of your verbs, Your Majesty the Cthulhu!
