[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

It was a rainy afternoon when Kaito realized that the plot of "Magic Detective Loki" was about to start.

At that time, he was sitting with Loki in the living room on the second floor of the Sparrow Detective Agency. While sitting around the burning fireplace, he was enjoying the special edition secret made by the universal assistant An Ye. The season's large collection of fruit tarts...

"To be honest, Anno-san's craftsmanship is getting better and better, Loki, you guys are simply too enviable and jealous!"

Kaito, who was just a nine-year-old at the time (at least on the surface), confessed without a trace of covetousness and jealousy for the capable assistant-kun beside his new friend, and... not surprisingly In exchange for that, Lord Cthulhu, who also had a proper appearance at that time, gave a very pleasant low smile——

"Quick fight, give up, even if you keep whispering this in my ear every day, An Ye-kun will never give it up to you."

The thin lips were slightly pursed, and the green eyes with a little cheerful smile on his face were just saying so, turning his head to look at his assistant with a calm and calm face: "Am I right? Anye-kun?"

"Yes, Lord Loki."

Slightly nodding his head, the handsome black-haired young man in glasses responded warmly.The obedient and obedient look on his face made his stomach hurt for a while——

Emma, ​​these two are really father and son, right? ==

Whether Loki is a standard son-in-law or not, he can't say for sure, but Anno... is definitely a father-in-law, right ==+ Even if he doesn't behave like his elder brother, the little black dog Fenrir She is so cute and blatantly courting her pet, but judging from this posture, I am afraid that the inner importance and dependence on Loki, who is her father, is definitely not much less!

Thinking of the huge snake head of the giant snake Midcarom, who still maintains the prototype of the huge snake body when Loki was taken away from the dark and deep deep sea of ​​Assa Garden in the original book, Kaito suddenly felt that he was the real one. up!

However, now is obviously not the time to gossip about father and son.

Turning his head, turning a blind eye to the emerald eyes that someone was looking at with a smile, Kaito casually picked up a newspaper placed beside him, and pretended to study it with great interest——

snort!I don't want to continue being bullied by you!

Seeing that His Majesty the Evil God must be playing pranks from time to time, just wanting to tease himself and watch the new friend he just made change his face, Kaidou calmed down for a moment.

But what I didn't expect was that he was just pretending casually, but soon, a strange report in the newspaper really attracted his attention...

"Mysterious serial killer, the 'Dual Swordsman Bleach'...?"

——Why does this nickname full of slots sound so familiar?

"According to people familiar with the matter, the two victims discovered so far are both high school girls, and there were no witnesses when they were killed. The head of the police said that the whereabouts of the victim's head is still unknown, and detailed investigation and evidence collection are still in progress..."

——Strange, the sense of familiarity seems to be getting stronger and stronger?

"What? Kaito is also very interested in this case?"

In a daze, the pseudo-shota evil god who was sitting opposite unexpectedly squeezed into Kaito's side at some point. When he noticed, the other party was already very close, and Kaito could even feel it through his thin clothes. The warm temperature between Rocky's chest and abdomen...

"Don't get so close, hey!"

Unceremoniously stretched out his hand to push away the cute face with a slight smile, Kaito snorted softly, and casually put aside the newspaper in his hand: "I'm not a detective, I'm just a little curious about the bizarreness of the case itself, That's totally different from what you said 'interested'."

——I don’t know why, but I just don’t want Loki to get involved with this strangely familiar case.

Kaito frowned secretly, he really didn't understand where his sudden weird emotion came from.

And completely ignorant of his doubts and depression at the moment, the evil god lord next to him with a cute face, after hearing his reply, smiled softly to himself: "Don't say that, I know soon Tou is actually very good at deduction~"

A good magician must also be proficient in logic and reasoning, because new magic concepts and designs are absolutely inseparable from these two points.

Squinting his eyes, he didn't know what he thought of, and the dark brown short-haired evil spirit smiled more and more mysteriously——

"Hey, Kaito, do you want to... accompany me to work once in a while?"

...What does this guy want to do?

Almost at the moment when Loki's proposal came out, Kaito raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.

Although I have known Loki for a long time, it is undeniable that even with the strange experience of being a human being in two lives as a basis, Kaito still can't figure out the thoughts of this evil god in many cases.

Maybe it's because the time we've known each other is still short, and he hasn't been able to understand each other more deeply, or maybe... it's because he feels some kind of inexplicable bondage in the dark, but he doesn't want to obey the trend of fate, so he insists on Deviating from the track, even if he is attracted, he stubbornly refuses to face it, but in any case, knowing little about Loki is a problem that Kaito is indeed facing now.

Therefore, most of the time, Kaito is entangled and hesitant in the face of an invitation such as the one that Loki took the initiative to send——

He couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, but he didn't want to back down because of it.

Obviously... In the beginning, it was Loki who broke the balance, took the initiative to make a sound, and intervened in his life.

However, after getting acquainted, Kaito was the one who worried the most and thought the most.

This is not fair by any means.

Especially... the magical power possessed by the other party, shortly after the two met, it was proved that they could not be used to search for the whereabouts of Pirate One.

Kaito really didn't know why he stayed by Loki's side after that.He obviously hates trouble the most, and he knows best that the other party will often be entangled in trouble because of a certain girl in the future...

and many more!

some girl? !

Kaito, who was immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly brightened his eyes, feeling that he seemed to have grasped a certain point just now.

Cloudy and rainy days, the case of the headless female corpse, Loki's inexplicable hobbies, the prisoner known as "the god of death with two swords"...

All the intertwined clues gradually connected into one clear clue in his mind, Kaito suddenly got up, and then——

With both legs straddled, he sat directly on someone's body!

"Don't go!"

His tone was unprecedentedly serious, the black-haired boy stretched out his hands, and firmly grasped the collar of the person below him, which was so flat that it didn't seem to have a single wrinkle.

The person who was suddenly "attacked" by him quickly returned to his usual laziness and composure after the initial daze.

"Huh? Kaito, what are you doing? I didn't say you're going out now." Said with an innocent face, a false lady even blinked her eyes shamelessly a few times to show her absolute "purity" ": "It's raining outside, I don't want to get my clothes wet~"

"..." I really want to call a bastard!

The fingers gripping the opponent's collar loosened and tightened, and Kaito, whose forehead was throbbing with blue veins, really doubted that if he had lost self-control, he might have already slapped him in the face at this moment—no one, someone This performance of people is really shocking!

"Loki you bastard!"

No longer caring about whether the image is not image or whether it is probing or not, Kaito leaned down and pressed the other person's forehead viciously: "It was you who told me to stop at the beginning, and you were the one who asked me to come in and sit down. You are the one who can't find my father, and you are the one who persuaded me to stay when I was about to fade out of your sight!"

"Listen to me bastard! It wasn't me, Kaito Kuroba, who wanted to tie you up, it was you who broke into my life by talking to yourself! So put away your mysterious, treacherous and profound Pretending to be unpredictable! If you really want to be friends with me so much, show me your true nature!"

After yelling the last sentence, Kaito himself was also surprised.

Can't help but glance away to stop staring at Loki, the black-haired magician boy hid his face in a tangled face, and suddenly realized... he seemed to have gone too far.

However, before he could make any remedies, a familiar low laugh suddenly came from under him——

Unlike any other times in the past, this time, from the laughter, Kaito could easily hear the undisguised sense of joy and relaxation...

"Ha! Hahahahaha...Kaito, you really...surprised me."

Unknowingly, a pair of slender but implying shockingly powerful arms were wrapped around his waist, and when Kaito realized it, he was already wrapped in Loki's arms!

What made him even more at a loss was not the extremely intimate gesture of the two at the moment, but the words and sentences spoken by the other party with a slight smile.

"I thought that you would spend more time with me more cautiously, and then choose the safest way to question and test me. But I didn't expect..."

"It's just because of such a trivial matter that you are made to act ahead of time, not to mention, even..."

Behaving so frankly and bluntly...

"Kaito, you really... didn't disappoint me."

Burying his head between the young man's warm and soft neck, the evil god with emerald eyes giggled.

"Don't doubt my motives, Kaito."

"The first time we met, I really just wanted to know you. Shh... don't talk, don't question, Kaito, you really don't know how much attention you have."

"I admit that I took the initiative to get to know you at first out of boredom and curiosity. But now..."

"Kaito, do you think... I need to defend myself?"

"As you said, I have...completely intervened in your life."

"The reason why I haven't chosen to confess is probably because I've been looking forward to seeing Kaito take off your gentle and elegant disguise one step ahead of me, revealing the so-called..."true nature" hidden deep inside. ..."

"Hey, don't pull me in the face! I admit that I'm a bit naughty and teasing people too much, I apologize. But Kaito, I'm really... glad to hear what you said before."

"very happy."

The boy's soft tone echoed in the quiet room. The black-haired assistant had quietly left the scene at some point. At this moment, only Kaito and Loki were left in the room.

And listening to the sincerity and candid confession of the evil god below him, his chaotic mood gradually began to calm down involuntarily...

"Okay, since you said that, I'll forgive you this time."

In the end, under the expectant gaze of the other party's bright emerald eyes, Kuai Dou awkwardly turned his gaze away, and said this with a face of reluctance, or should I say arrogant (==).

"But remember it for me, there will be no next time!"

“Yes yes~~”

"Also, did you listen to what I said just now? You are not allowed to participate in anything related to this 'two-sword death god'!"

“Yes yes~~”

"Also, you are not allowed to receive strange people casually when I don't know - especially high school girls with special hobbies!"

"Yes... wait, why do I feel that your request seems very directional?"

"...Don't change the subject!" ==+

"Okay okay, I see."

The beating fire weakened little by little with the fading words, and when An Ye went upstairs to add another fire to it, the moment he opened the door and entered, he found it funny...

"Oh my, Lord Loki is also Kaito-kun, why did you just fall asleep on the sofa like this? You'll catch a cold if you keep going like this, I'm so careless..."

Although the black-haired young man who was nagging in a low voice was "complaining", but soon, the fire in the fireplace that was about to be extinguished was raised again, and the two people who were sleeping on the sofa were also The quilt was covered with a soft and warm woolen blanket.

"So from this point of view, Lord Loki has absolutely no time to receive that wonderful lady downstairs? But there is no way to do it, who made her come at a bad time? It seems that I can only ask her to leave—— Ah, although she doesn't seem to really want to join our detective agency..."

The black-haired young man walked out of the room while talking to himself, and behind him, a certain two young boys who were still sleeping soundly did not know that their heart-to-heart exchange today slapped the poor Mr. Destiny once again. , Let another girl who should have such a lofty status as a "heroine" fade out of the sight of the two of them, and... can never have an intersection with them again.

As for Mr. Detective's partner?

Please, with the future Mr. Phantom Thief, don't you... you are not satisfied?
