[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

Undoubtedly, the moment Kaito met the opponent's eyes, Kaito recognized the person almost immediately.

And at the same time, along with the sudden surprise and great joy pouring into my heart, there are also those memories... that were once sealed by the other party.

"...L...I..."

Forcibly suppressing the strong desire in his heart that was constantly surging up to rush over and grab the opponent and beat him up violently to calm his anger, Kaito stared fiercely at the picture-eyed man not far away. , the handsome blond-haired young man with a smile on his lips, the moment he recognized the other party, he couldn't control the whisper that almost gnashed his teeth, and it was even impossible for people to hear what kind of name he was calling... …

"You bastard, you still know to come back!" "If there were no outsiders present..." "I really want to kick you down right now and give you a good beating!" "When you left, you dared to seal me against Gu's will!" memory!" "If I forgive you so easily this time, my lord will really follow your surname!"

——Obviously there were so many things that he wanted to confide in, but in the end, Kaito just pressed his lips tightly together, and continued to stay in place without saying a word.

Not only that.

Whether it's eyes, expressions or movements, except for a momentary strangeness that was too short to be noticed at the moment when the mysterious comer appeared, all of Kaito's performances since then have never revealed the true mood of the master at this time. out of the slightest...

--poker face.

Pirates once bestowed on Kaito what he thought was the most important skill a magician should have.

Before that, Kaito had never imagined that one day he would have to put on such a troubled face in front of that person...

However, the person who came here seemed completely unaware of the various complicated thoughts that were intertwined in Kaito's mind at this time——

"Good night, both of you."

The male voice transmitted through the air by the soft evening wind is deep and sweet, like the finest velvet, with a breathless sexy elegance, but the performance of the owner of this voice at this moment is different from the greeting he made before. Nothing matches.

Even when he was greeting Ye An, the visitor did not show any concern for the two strangers whom he greeted—or in other words, the seemingly polite greeting from the other party was actually just out of his own habits and It's just a good upbringing, in fact... I don't really want to express any kind of politeness to the person I'm greeting.

——This is a kind of... instinctive arrogance unique to those who have been in the position of superiors for a long time.

"Judging from the performance of the two of you... maybe, what did I disturb with my shot just now?" Turning a blind eye to Kaito's calmness and Hongko's panic, the visitor still stood straight and gracefully on the spot.

The bright moonlight quietly spread over his shoulders, coating the already stunningly handsome face of this mysterious blond youth with a layer of dreamlike silver shimmer.

"However...even if I'm meddling in my own business, since I happened to meet you today, then I have to advise this lady witch."

The blue eyes that were originally smiling suddenly became full of sternness, the blond young man didn't make any unnecessary movements, just a glance passed, and Hongzi, who was still looking angry, instantly showed a face that could not be concealed at all. Frightened and terrified—

"Magic is a special gift given by the gods to a small number of selected mortals. It is a gift and a gift, but it is definitely not a weapon used to coerce ordinary people who have no power."

"Owning power should also have the awareness and responsibility that match the power you get, and if you not only don't have such awareness and self-restraint awareness, but even intend to use this gift to influence or even hurt the powerless... ..."

"Your power, but it will be taken back?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the red-haired witch, the handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes, who collapsed and sat down on the cold ground covered with a thin layer of snow. Turning around, just like when he came, the slender and elegant figure gradually disappeared into the darkness again——

"My intervention was not intentional, and that's all I want to say. As for disturbing the two of you unintentionally before... If you don't mind, of course you can continue now."

With the sound of the last word, the mysterious blond visitor had completely disappeared, as if...he had never appeared before.

And during this whole process, except for the initial greeting, the young man never once looked at Kaito, let alone...doing any action similar to "recognition"...

"……You bastard!!!!!"

The expression hidden in the shadow of the top hat was gloomy because of the slight movement of his head down, Kaito stood silently for a while, and finally... unexpectedly let out a low laugh...

"Hmph, hum, hum..."

"...you're fine... you're fine!"

The sky-blue eyes that suddenly raised were pregnant with an unprecedented violent storm. He was standing coquettishly at the same place, wanting to take Joel and wait for the other party to take the initiative to pounce on him(?) Kaito, who recognized him this time... …

Completely irritable.

"This is an opportunity you missed, so don't blame me... I will never take the initiative to find you again!"

Kaito had a guess in his heart as to why the other party didn't find him as soon as he returned, and Kaito raised the corners of his lips coldly.

Because of such a sudden change, Mr. Phantom Thief, who was in a bad mood, naturally didn't have the heart to pay attention to the red witch who he didn't plan to provoke any more.

Pulling the mechanism of the hang glider directly and jumping off the steel cable, the only thing Kaito wants to do at this time is to go home as soon as possible and get a good night's sleep.

As for a reunion with someone?

Since people couldn't recognize him the first time they saw him, why would he be so enthusiastic about sticking it on?

The coldness in his eyes deepened, and the elegant ghost thief in white snorted softly. After a while, the pure white figure that blended with the snowy sky disappeared into the distant sky, leaving only the red-haired witch kneeling on the ground, still In the growing snowfall with a terrified expression, he couldn't recover for a long time...

※※※

Kaito originally thought that what happened that night would not have a big impact on him. After all, to him, that person was nothing more than a "somewhat" familiar childhood acquaintance, even if the two were together for a year I have experienced such and such things together for a long time, so the friendship is much deeper and the relationship is more intimate than others, but...

Since people clearly don't recognize him or remember him clearly, why does he want to take the initiative to come forward to make fun of himself?

Although...he had already secretly confirmed that after the other party came back, he was indeed still in the original place, doing the original business...

"Cut! Why should I care so much? He didn't say it must be because he wanted to find my relationship when he went back there!"

For the nth time, he bypassed the opponent's door from a distance, and a certain young magician who was a dead duck with a hard mouth rebuked himself fiercely in his heart. At the same time, the anger and grievance in his heart seemed to be deepening day by day for some reason. get up...

"Idiot! Who wants you to use this method to protect..."

Cursing bitterly, Kaito turned around, not to look at the familiar small building again.Just about to head back home...

"Quick fight."

It was still the same flat tone without ups and downs, and the face with little or, more honestly, no expression at all, but the difference was that the thick black-rimmed glasses that had once covered most of the face had been replaced by The master took it off, and then... revealed the one hidden under it, which is no less astonishing than that of a certain Mr. Phantom Thief...

A perfect face that can be described by the four words "brightness and brilliance".

——Heiwajima Yuhei, Kaito's high school friend, and another stage name... Hashima Yuhei.

If it is said that before this, Kaito did not associate anything between these two names, or Kaito, who never paid much attention to entertainment news, actually did not even know the stage names of his friends so clearly, then after encountering the strange thief After Yiji Yuanling, the Man of Thousand Faces, became a young boy, Kaito naturally discovered another world he was familiar with that was maintained by his friends——

DRRR.

Thinking that my friend's brother turned out to be Shizuo Heiwajima...

Kaito couldn't help but want to help his forehead.

You know, as a normal-minded boy from the Celestial Dynasty, even if Kaito had been engaged in an elegant and mysterious profession like a magician in his previous life, which had nothing to do with violence at all, how could there be any boy who is in the rebellious period of youth who is not Longing for the realm of pure power and beauty?

"You." Withdrawing his sanity from the thoughts that had wandered too far away, he quickly walked a few steps, and met the black-haired friend who appeared on the street with his true face without any concealment for some reason: "Why did you come out like this? Already? Is there a shooting mission nearby?"

As he said that, he looked around to find the camera and the agent arranged by the company for his friend.

"No." Compared to Kaito's worry and nervousness, You Boy's expression is much calmer, "I followed Kaito to take a look when I saw Kaito passing by by chance. You are... very strange recently."

"..." Kaito was dumbfounded.

He thought he was doing well enough, he thought... He was actually not affected, but he didn't expect...

Should You really be sharp enough?

The black-haired young magician smiled wryly.

"I'm fine." Kaito finally said, not knowing whether he was comforting his friend or convincing himself, "It's Yuu, is it really okay to just run out like this? You... are working right now."

Although I am very touched by my friend's concern and concern for me, if it delays the other party's serious business because of this, then Kaito will feel too sorry.

As for Kaito's question, Yu just blinked his eyes, and then slowly replied two words: "It's okay."

......==

Kaito almost knelt down to his friend.

I wanted to ask something more, but suddenly I heard the voice of my friend's manager, Ms. Uzuki, from behind...

"Youping-jun! That's great, so you are here..."

Subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, but...

The moment Kaito saw the other person walking towards him side by side with Uzuki, Kaito suddenly widened his eyes——

Why... is it him again? !
