[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

Kaito never imagined that he would accidentally discover a series of codes that only he and Pirates knew in the group of hidden photos that James Hopper left for his granddaughter Judy!

Although this string of hidden marks only appeared for a moment when the flames swayed just now, and disappeared without giving people enough time to fully see them, Kaito knew that it was definitely not his blindness Or illusion.

"Hey, Loki, the familiars didn't stop recording video just now, did they?"

His lips moved slightly, and Kaito's voice was too low to be audible.

But soon, a familiar touch came from the end of his fingers, letting him know that the lover who was following behind must have heard his previous question and gave an affirmative answer.

...Should he be thankful for Loki's impromptu idea?

Kaito thought embarrassingly.

If it weren't for Loki's sudden interest after seeing a certain sequence of familiars accidentally recorded, Kaito's elegant, beautiful and crisp set of actions from beginning to end in the process of stealing a target , claiming that from that day on, he will collect all the videos of Kaito's future actions, and Kaito will not ask this question on a whim.

And the affirmative answer he got from Loki quickly calmed down his slightly unsteady mood, without revealing anything on the surface.

This kind of self-imposed calm continued until Judy Hopper on the other side also calmed down. While slightly shyly raising her hand to wipe the tears still in the corner of her eyes, she tried to show a grateful smile to Kaito...

"Thank you, Kidd, no matter...why did you help me like this." The slightly choked voice of the blonde girl echoed in the quiet revolving restaurant, and the sharp plaintiveness before was no longer in her tone, "If it wasn't for you , I will never remember what kind of smile I used to perform the magic that our Hopper family loves so much."

"So I thought, let's try harder. Not only as the leader of the Hopper Magic Troupe, but also as... one of the magicians."

For the first time, a radiant look flashed in those tearful eyes. The last member of Hopper's family finally let go of all the resentment he once had, and once again regained his passion and love for magic.

Kaito was not surprised by this result.

Nodding his head slightly, and giving Judy a polite smile under her grateful gaze, Kaito took two steps back and came to Snake, who was still in a coma—

"You're welcome, Miss Hopper, please treat this encounter as a reunion between old friends."

"Although... for some reason, I can't tell you who this 'old man' refers to."

Blinking his eyes playfully, Kaito said, and gave Judy who was confused on the opposite side a look of "you understand": "Then, please allow me to say goodbye. Is it time to turn back?"

"As for this person..." Like looking down at Snake at his feet, he pouted without a trace: "Please, Miss Hopper, please transfer it to the Zhongsen Police Department for me at that time. By the way, send me a sincere greeting, Just say, 'Phantom Kidd greets you good night, and in order to apologize for teasing and mocking you with an overly genteel teaser, I hereby apologize to this vicious criminal who once escaped you, at your disposal, and I hope you will be satisfied.'”

Unscrupulously leaving a string of hate messages for poor Police Officer Nakamori that will definitely make him furious again, Kaito turned around and quickly disappeared between the stairs——

Another night belonging to the phantom thief is over.

※※※

Kaito didn't care what kind of chaos the Minato Hotel fell into after he left. All he thought about now was to go home quickly so that he could take pictures from Loki's familiars. From the image below, extract the string of secret marks left by Pirate One to see what it actually represents.

Kaito has a hunch that the message hidden behind these marks must not be left by Pirate One before the accident!

And once this conjecture is confirmed, what will it represent... What will it be?

— Pirate One... is really still alive!

Although I have always told myself that his father, who is black-bellied and cunning, obviously does not have a cheating body like himself, but his abilities and skills as a magician are stronger than him, it is definitely not true. But because of some reason, he couldn't show up in front of people during these eight years, but Kaito knows better than anyone, this is not so much a fact that is most likely to happen, it's better to say that it is what he most wants to see A development, or ... is his repeated hints and comforts to himself.

In fact, what happened to Pirate One these years, is he alive or dead?

Kaito actually doesn't know at all!

So, when he realized that he might have got a message that Pirate One left for him after his accident...

Kaito thought, no matter how excited and ecstatic he was, it was probably... normal, right?

However, when Loki felt his impatience, he teleported him back to the Sparrow Detective Agency without him asking, and immediately ordered the familiars to release the previous video, Kaito's On the contrary, my mood suddenly calmed down, and I was no longer as anxious and anxious as when I just learned that the string of marks existed...

"Loki, I'm a little scared."

Frankly confessing his feelings at the moment to his lover, the expression on Kaito's face is completely straightforward and relaxed.

"The results I have been wanting to prove for a long time are in these images, but I..." At this long-awaited final moment, I became... cowardly.

This is all because, this is the important information related to the life and death of the thief, right?

——The more you care about it, the more difficult it is to easily reach the end in one fell swoop at the moment when the truth is approaching.

It turned out...he was still not as firm as he thought.

Closing his eyes, Kaito sighed deeply.

However, immediately after, the familiar and warm aura that surrounded his back surrounded him layer by layer...

"Don't worry, I'm here."

A short, few-word sentence isn't even a consoling... promise?But Kaito trembled violently, then quickly turned around, looking at Loki with disbelief——

What did he just... say? !

If it was just an ordinary comforting sentence, Kaito would naturally not have this kind of reaction. The problem is that what Loki said was "I am here"!

The weight of this promise is definitely not light!

Based on Kaito's understanding of Loki, he certainly understands that Loki is making a promise to him that after doing so, the consequences will most likely bring him mandatory punishment and harm from the laws of the world ——

Even if Pirate One has unfortunately passed away, he will not hesitate to use his dual identities as the main god and the father of death, and if Kaito asks, Loki will return him a living Pirate One without hesitation!

What a precious promise this is!

At such a moment, Kaito could hardly respond.

The only thing he could do was turn around, extend his arms to hug his evil lover tightly, bury himself in the other's embrace, and try his best to fill every gap between them——

This is...his Loki...

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and finally, Kaito took the initiative to take a step back, ending this hug full of warmth and perfect fit.

"Anyway, let me see the string of passwords first..."

Kaito also has Kaito's persistence and persistence. Although Loki's promise is definitely not good-looking, but if things are really bad to that point, Kaito is very clear that he will never let Loki really do that kind of thing. Come.

Not to mention whether Loki will be able to resist the punishment brought down by the law at that time, Kaito knows that if they really choose to do that, then even if Pirate is resurrected when the time comes, he will never be happy ——

That's his father!It is because he is so proud and transparent in his bones, loves him so much and cherishes him, he is absolutely unwilling to get a new life in such a way, and he will never be willing to let Kaito be injured for his own resurrection, his Daddy Thief... …

A familiar face of a handsome uncle with a smile gradually appeared in his mind, Kaito slowly raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes became clear and firm again——

Isn't it just a message, he really dare not read it?

He stretched out his hand and poked proficiently at the screen floating in front of him. Kaito, who was already used to using the super-tech camcorder in front of him, said that it was absolutely useless to operate. pressure!

The picture stopped and stopped, and finally it was subtly frozen at the moment when the flames trembled. The series of marks that flashed from the painting with Pirate One in it, Kaito quickly imprinted them into his mind, and then Decipher it in a unique way between him and Pirate One...

A few minutes later, the solemn black-haired boy let out a heavy sigh, turned his head, and showed a brighter smile to the blond lover who had been standing quietly behind him with concerned eyes: "Loki! Dad, he is still alive! !"

Mr. Cthulhu felt relaxed when he heard that.

Raising his arms around his lover who was still trembling slightly on the shoulders, Loki and his lover sat on the soft bed behind him——

"Relax now?"

"Ok!"

Although this message was only hurriedly engraved into the gem shortly after Pirate One's accident, but the many contents revealed in it are enough to reassure Kaito!

——His request has never been too much, as long as Pirates are alive...

Finally let go of the big rock that had been hanging in his heart for many years, Kaito didn't even have time to express his joy and satisfaction, and soon fell asleep in Loki's arms unconsciously, in exchange for someone's long cry sigh—

When... will I really grow up?

Resting his chin with one hand, for the first time, the blond Nordic evil god began to seriously consider the possibility of destroying the inherent time laws of the plot world other than himself...

※※※

Kaito hugged his beloved notebook on the sofa opposite Loki's desk, chatting with his friends from the Phantom Thieves Alliance in the chat room, and at the same time scrolling through the latest post on a certain jewelry forum, Sunshine A small halo of light was projected thinly in the room through the slightly open window, and it stopped right in front of the young man, dimly coating him with a faint white halo.

The young man had an unprecedented comfortable and happy smile on his face, as if he had let go of the last worry in his heart. He looked radiant, flamboyant and unrestrained. Seeing a certain blond evil god sitting behind a desk pretending to be serious about handling the copywriting, he burst into tears. Unstoppable throat itching...

As for the lover's covetousness, a young magician didn't notice it at all. (Really? =w=)

At this moment, his attention has been fully focused on his companions——

【Monster Thief Alliance Chat Room】

1412: Huh?Sister, did you meet that little detective from my family again?

Basteto No. [-]: Well, he almost saw through his tricks, almost capsized in the gutter.

1412: Hey~ It's so rare to hear the eldest sister say such weak words.But someone praised my fateful opponent, I don’t know why I feel very happy ~ listen to my mother: that’s because Brother Kidd actually likes the relationship with that little detective, right? (*^___^*) I always hear you praising him~ 1412: Huh?Found?Xiaoqian really understands me~

Listen to my mother: Of course! o (∩_∩) o

Black Wing Daisuki: You guys had a great chat.

1412: Ah, it's Senior DARK!haven't seen you for a long time.

——Speaking of which, it's really been a long time since I saw him, and I don't know what this person has been busy with recently.Maybe...it has something to do with Daisuke?

Kaito pushed the computer away from his lap a little bit, guessing so suspiciously.

And almost at the next moment, DARK's reply confirmed his previous guess——

Black Wing Daisuki: Well, it’s been a long time, I’ve encountered a little trouble here, maybe… I need your help.

……what?

The moment Kaito saw those words, Kaito was really surprised.

Would DARK have encountered such a level of trouble that they needed to ask their alliance members for help?

Why... he has no impression at all?
