[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

With the gleaming school gate as a foreshadowing, at this moment, when we come to face the office building of the elementary school student union, which occupies an area comparable to the Rocky family's single-family antique European-style villa, Kaidou I can no longer have the strength to complain——

Forget it, this is still an elementary school student union with only three main members. If he sees some more advanced student union office building groups (==) in the junior high school and high school after a while, wouldn't he still Can you complain one by one?Don't you feel tired?

Cursing his lips, Kaito decided to let himself get used to it from this moment, and simply ignore all the exaggerated pictures that he will see later.

Led by Xiao Ling, they walked through the magnificent main hall of the building, and took the elevator directly to the president's office on the third floor. Here, Kaito, Loki and his party were warmly received by a certain blond boy as expected. ...

"Ah, Kuroba-senpai, Mr. Loki, and... two family members, long time no see. Welcome to CLAMP Academy~"

The tone and demeanor of the blond boy was as opulent as ever, but the gentle smile on the corner of his lips perfectly neutralized this aggressive and extravagant arrogance that seemed to carry some kind of inherent aloofness, making him Others won't feel offended by it...

——In short, it is impossible for people to really hate this boy.

Although I'm not sure if this is one of the invincible cheats that the aunts gave the protagonist, but Kaito thinks he has to admit that it's really comfortable to get along with the boy of Meizhishan.

He will lead the conversation very well and subtly, without being cold or overly enthusiastic, without making people feel ignored or left out, and of course, the most important thing is that he will never make people feel unpleasant .

So sometimes when chatting with Meizhishan boy, Kaito will really forget the other person's age unconsciously, and treat him as a peer - no way, who made this kid think and act The style is too mature and deep?

This is simply more evil than evildoer!

As the protagonist, Kaito said that compared with the younger sister, the golden finger given to Kidd by Uncle Aoyama is really weak!

But now is not the time to think about those things.

Looking at the beautiful blond boy with a gentle smile in front of him, Kaito raised the corners of his lips, and gave him an equally kind (?) friendly smile: "Long time no see, I was invited to disturb you, little sister tiger."

……

After the initial greetings, Kaito and his party were quickly taken to a special reception room by the host, where Xiaoling personally served all kinds of tea and snacks, and began to prepare for a more in-depth conversation.

"I believe that Xiaoling should have explained the general situation to Senior Black Feather and Mr. Loki on the way here. I'm sorry, but this time I have to entrust Mr. Loki with another matter."

——The younger sister's words and sentences are always so appropriate. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as "trouble". After all, Loki has opened a detective agency, so it is normal to accept the client's commission However, when the young girl from Meizhishan said this, the color of the transaction between the two parties immediately faded a lot, and it made people feel extremely ironed in their hearts.

Kaito couldn't help secretly applauding his skill when he heard that.

but……

His Loki is not so easy to deal with~

"Sister Monarch, you're being polite. It seems that Xiao Ling was also involved in this matter, so even if there is no commission from the younger sister, Kaito and I will not stand aside and stand by."

--really.

As soon as Kaito's thoughts surfaced in his mind, Loki's voice on the other side had already played tepidly, and the response he made was also called watertight.

Without waiting for the younger sister to say anything, Loki continued the topic very naturally: "We did hear about the general situation from Xiaoling, and there are still some details that need to be discussed with Meizhishan again." Please communicate."

Seeing this, the handsome blond boy couldn't help but nodded with a smile, and in a blink of an eye motioned to the student union secretary sitting next to him, the boy Yingcun, to take out a large set of materials that he had prepared before.

Kaito and Loki took this opportunity to exchange a glance quickly.

Of course they didn't intend to embarrass the young girl of Meizhishan.

It's just that Kidd's name was accidentally involved in this incident, so Kaito and Loki had to be careful before they figured out the ins and outs.

Therefore, for the young girl from Meizhishan, I can only temporarily refuse to act according to the pace he envisioned with apologies.

As for their actions, I believe Xiaoling is also understandable, right?

Turning his head and quickly glanced at his own young lady, seeing that the other party just raised his eyebrows and gave him a cute and cute smile as usual, Kaito calmed down, turned back to look at the information that the boy from Eagle Village took out with Loki ...

"This is the target that was predicted to be stolen this time. The president just accidentally bought it from a foreign collector a while ago. He wants to use it as a permanent gift from the elementary school to the school at this year's school festival. Announced by the art collection, the legendary secret treasure - the crown of the moon god."

While talking, the young man from Eagle Village showed Kaito and the others a few enlarged pictures of gemstones in his hands. The strange silver gemstones, which were the size of an adult's fist, were naturally formed into a crown-like shape without any polishing. Under the reflection of the light in the picture, there is a mercury-like, almost substantive flowing light...

"As expected of a legendary secret treasure!" Kaito exclaimed.

Even as a great monster thief, he has not seen gems of this level a few times, and they are indeed worthy of the title of legendary secret treasure.And what's even more interesting is...

"This gem doesn't look like a diamond or an emerald. Although I haven't seen the real thing, but this colorless and transparent texture..." Kaito has never encountered it before!

In the next second, his doubts were confirmed by the youth of Yingcun: "Senior Black Feather is right! After the president got the gemstone, he sent it to a special testing agency, and the conclusion reached was the same as that of Senior Black Feather. The words are almost exactly the same! This 'Crown of the Luna' does not belong to any known gemstone species with colorless and transparent texture. With the approval of the experts, it can be confirmed as a newly discovered species..."

And often, gemstones that can get this kind of confirmation are few and far between.

At the current stage of civilization development, there are no gemstones on the earth that are unknown to human beings. Every year, there are more strange stones—or to put it bluntly, stones—types. As for new gem?

That really can't be described as "rarely seen".

So it is really understandable for Kaito and Loki, why the Meizhishan boy will pay so much attention to this matter.

It's just, "Didn't Sister Tiger entrust any other detectives or... the police besides Loki?"

——It’s no wonder Kaito thinks so.

After all, if it is really confirmed that this "Crown of the Moon God" is a brand new type of gemstone, then its value will definitely far exceed the original estimate. There is no reason to only put hope on such a "little unknown" private detective like Loki - after all, only a few people know about Loki's "specialness". I feel that Meizhishan boy has some extraordinary expectations for his lover.

As for Kaito and the others, there would be such a questioning girl from the mountain boy who obviously had expected it a long time ago.

"That's why I said it was a private commission." The blond beautiful boy explained to Kaito and his party with a smile, "In fact, the security inside the academy has been raised to a very high level. My family's private guard There were also a lot of dispatches, and the number of secret weapons arranged around the crown of the moon god was unimaginable, but adding a few more insurances is not a bad thing in my opinion. And I believe in the strength of Mr. Rocky, after all, he once treated me Those few acquaintances who mentioned Mr. Rocky's name are not so easy to make such high evaluations of others."

——Well, this reason is indeed reasonable.

Kaito and Luo Ji no longer had any doubts, and Anno came forward to negotiate the entrustment issue with Xiaoling, who was the accountant of the student union, and Kaito and his party were led by Xiaoling to leave this gorgeous office building until The central square of CLAMP Academy, where various events are being held——before starting to prepare for the defense work at night, as guests, they should have a good time, shouldn't they?

※※※

It's not that Ekoda High School where Kaito is located has held a school festival.

No, or should I say, in District 11, a country that attaches great importance to campus activities and school club activities, all major primary and secondary schools hold many various school-wide activities every year, cultural Festival, sports festival, club anniversary festival... There are a lot of activities, but the most grand and lively one is definitely the school festival.

If you want to compare it, this is probably like the school celebration of the Chinese dynasty or the opening day. It is an activity that is highly valued by the school and demonstrates the strength of the school and the ability of the students.

It has been more than ten years since Kaidou crossed over, and he has almost adapted to the various festivals in District 11, which are very different from the Tianchao school, but!Until today, it was not until he rode the on-campus sightseeing bus all the way from the elementary school to the central square, what he saw and heard in the process, that Kaito completely understood how lively and grand a school festival would be !

Every slightly famous venue or place that I passed by along the way has already gathered various people of various sizes. Many clubs and activity organizations that Kaito has never seen in the various school festivals of Ekoda University are being organized in various places. Various activities are carried out in different places, and there are very few activities that collide with each other!

This kind of terrifying imagination and enthusiasm completely shocked the young magician who was still an out-and-out celestial soul inside!

"I finally understand that no matter which world it is in, the animation industry in District 11 is often the reason why it is the world's leading." Kaito whispered to Loki.

——Isn’t it? The imaginations of teenagers are so strong that it’s really unscientific if the two-dimensional industry in this country is not developed!

But amazed, Kaito actually doesn't have much interest in these slightly curious activities.

Black tea shops, haunted houses, drama performances, etc. are the normal options in his mind. As for "research on strange phenomena will take you to another world!", or "School special police teach you how to maim criminals in three moves" (Would this be a bit cruel==), and there are special projects like "Dreamers' Dream House", which sound very dangerous, so let him thank you ==

Stretching out his hand to touch Xiao Lingzheng, who had been introducing special projects along the way with a smile on his face since he got on the Ferris wheel, Kaito turned his face silently, expressing his taste...in fact, it was quite normal.

Because the land area of ​​CLAMP Academy is really very considerable, when the ferris wheel arrived at the central square, it was already approaching lunch time, so after getting off the bus, the considerate Xiaoling did not immediately take Kaito and the others to visit the surrounding areas. All kinds of publicity stalls or running to some nearby entertainment projects, but directly took the four of them to an open teppanyaki restaurant to fill their stomachs first.

Facts have proved that the food made by the store that can be approved by Xiaoling is indeed first-class. When the five of them walked out of the store, not only was Fenrir's belly rounded, but he was nestling in Kaidou's arms for him to gently feed. Rubbing his stomach to digest food, even An Ye, who has always been mature and stable, secretly loosened his belt many times...

"Brother Kaito, what do you want to play? Today, the president gave me a special holiday, so I can stay with you until the time when you need to go back to the elementary school to prepare for security work?"

Smiling and walking in front of the four of them, Xiaoling's pure big eyes shone with joy.

Kaito then reached out and rubbed the child's hair, "Really? That would be great! It's our first time here too, how do we know what's fun? Why don't we leave it to Xiaoling to decide?"

The child is usually directed around by the president of his family, so it's time to relax. Seeing how happy he was just now, I know that even during the school festival, I am afraid that he is busy with the two seniors of his family. After maintaining order, he was always ready to clean up the mess in the area where things went wrong. He didn't have any fun. His own children were in pain, so Kaidou simply handed over the initiative to Xiaoling and let him take this opportunity to play. Enough!

Xiao Zhengtai obviously understood the intention of his elder brother Kaidou when he said that.

The words that I wanted to refuse at first could no longer be said after seeing the tenderness and pampering in the eyes of the other party. Xiao Zhengtai's expression froze for a moment, and then he soon showed a brighter and brighter smile than before. : "Brother Kuai Dou said so, I will not be polite?"

So next, the child really wasn't too polite.

He took Kaito and they went to play together, and wanted to go in, but because he was a little scared, he never really entered the haunted house. While he was frightened into a cold sweat, his little face was flushed from playing; He took Kaito and the others to ride the miniature roller coaster handmade by the seniors of the science and engineering department of the university department, and let out a series of high-pitched screams along the way; Watching the group of handsome and proud sons of heaven fall from the horse with all kinds of funny gestures in the fields they are not good at, the whole person can't help laughing; he took Kaito and them to watch the first performance of the drama department The super popular drama, but was temporarily pulled by the seniors, put on the little animal ears and put on the little animal tail, and made countless guest appearances along the way...

Kaito, Rocky and his son always had a gentle and tolerant expression, pampering all the child's waywardness.

"Xiao Ling is still cuter like this." In the dark auditorium, watching his wife who was blushing and dragging her tail slowly onto the stage, Kaito sighed softly in Loki's ear, and then... ...frankly accepted the passionate kiss from my lover...

"So, I didn't care that I wasn't the one getting the most of your attention this afternoon."

The blond-haired Nordic evil god whispered, and once again tightened his grip on the human boy in his arms...

——At 31:[-] p.m., there are still... less than four hours before the action time announced by "Kidd".

※※※

By the time Xiaoling finished the play, and the few of them attended the open-air bonfire meeting in the evening, they settled their dinner with a self-service barbecue. By the time they hurried back to the elementary school district, the hour hand had already passed six o'clock in the evening.

In the student activity auditorium of the elementary school, the Meizhishan boy has already prepared various security facilities, and even arranged no less than a hundred cameras placed in every corner of the auditorium, trying not to miss any corner...

"Because the opponent this time is the great Kaitou Kidd." Although he said so, the expression on the face of the blond boy was completely different. "As an opponent, it couldn't be better, right? After all, Such a topic of interest..."

Well, the last point is the focus of Meizhishan Boys.

This poor child has inherited the characteristics of his family from generation to generation, and he loves the limelight to the extreme!

He does attach great importance to the "Crown of the Moon God", but he is also looking forward to the "confrontation" with Kaito Kidd - it seems that he is not worried at all about the other party's success, and he just got it after stealing him In a few days, it is very likely to be confirmed to be a precious treasure of a new gemstone species...

Kaito felt that there was such a president, and the youth from Yingcun and his own Xiaoling had really worked hard.Feng Jingye boy pays tribute to them!There is also a chairman who whimsically says that the wind is the rain. Presumably if they really meet, there will be a lot of common topics, right?

Thinking about it like this, Kaito consciously retreated to Xiaoling with Fenrir in his arms, not to participate in the discussion between Loki and the boy of Meizhishan——He is a phantom thief~ Phantom thief~ What are the arrangements for the security work? Yes, it really is the right way to leave it to the detectives!

He raised his eyes and glanced at the presentation guests who had started to enter the arena not far away, and the moment he retracted his gaze, he glanced at the clock hand in the hall that had begun to point to the direction of seven o'clock, Kaito exhaled deeply, It wasn't until this time that there was a little... a premonition that a storm was coming.

※※※

It's night, late, 07:30.

Held in the student auditorium of the elementary school of CLAMP Academy, initiated by the owner Meizhishancan, invited countless social celebrities, members of the academy and related professionals to attend, and there are countless people who remember to stay, about the suspected new type of gemstone— ——The public presentation of "Crown of the Luna" started as scheduled.

The auditorium, which can accommodate 3 people at the same time, was full of seats. The moment the young master of the Meizhishan family took off the piece of silk covering the "Moon God's Crown" with his own hands, the entire auditorium fell into complete silence.

The surrounding lights did not know when they were completely turned off.

The ceiling of the auditorium, which can be freely controlled to open and close, was slowly opened, and the bright moonlight streamed down unobstructed, projecting on the silver gem that completely revealed its true face in the center of the auditorium, and gradually, an incredible scene It began to happen. Originally, the silver gemstone, which seemed to be nothing special except for its clarity and purity, began to flow within the crystal with a mercury-like fluctuating brilliance as the moonlight eroded it. , this kind of brilliance is still deepening and increasing. In the end, the whole gemstone seems to be filled with some kind of silver liquid, and there are small waves of mercury flowing slightly. It looks so inconspicuous, but... Can't take your eyes off...

The entire auditorium fell silent.

This is a kind of magic that no one has ever seen, which belongs to the creation of nature.

Even if there is no need for the little son of the Meizhishan family who is the commentator of this presentation to say something, many people present have already realized the value of this gem!

Although the appearance of its characteristics requires certain lighting conditions, I believe that many people are willing to include it in their collections for the strange scenery at this moment.

And in time, when the current technological means can find a way to freeze the beautiful scenery at this moment forever...

Presumably, there will be another shock in the gem market, right?

All of a sudden, the thoughts in the mind were different, and for a long period of time, no one in the entire auditorium made a sound. Everyone seemed to follow some kind of tacit agreement, and quietly looked at the well-placed star in the middle of the auditorium. The silver gemstones in the special glass showcase seem to be all... soaked in the miracle it brings...

"When~~~"

Suddenly, the bell representing the approaching hour rang throughout the auditorium, and just as the crowd was about to recover from the ringing of the bell, a strange pink color almost filled the entire auditorium in an instant. Smoke, in the middle of the auditorium, at the position closest to the showcase, suddenly... two white figures that are almost identical appeared——

A high-bond top hat with a blue ribbon on the brim, a perfectly ironed white suit, white leather shoes and white gloves, a monocle with a white frame...

"Phantom thief... Kidd?!"

The exclamation that came out at the same time in an instant turned into a chorus of unanimous voices. However, outside the crowd, a certain black-haired magician boy who had maintained an invisible state since the gem exhibition with Loki, was extremely shocked. His eyes widened in a non-glamorous way, and he stared at the field in astonishment——

=Dish=! !Who will tell him what is going on!Why... two Kidds appeared unexpectedly? !
