[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

In fact, if Kaito were to go back and recall this incident for the first time, I believe he would definitely throw out a very disgusting conclusion with a stinky face: "Hey! It's destined? It's better to say that it was wrong!"

——That's right, from Kaito's point of view, his encounter with Loki was actually an accident that had nothing to do with fate.

Or should I call it..."by mistake"?

In any case, when Kaito was nine years old, in the second month after losing his father Touichi, he met the name "Tanque Detective Agency" outside the door of an old villa with big characters written on the wall. For Rocky's... private eye.

"Hi, I'm Loki, the owner of this 'Tanque Detective Agency'. It's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

——I don’t know if this is Kaito’s illusion, but it always feels like... the tone of the other party when he said "Please take care of me"...

Very meaningful taste.

However, the Kaito at that time was not the confident and unrestrained monster thief who has stepped out of the shadow of losing Pirates.

At the same time that Piu Yi disappeared, all Kaito's curiosity and interest in foreign objects seemed to have disappeared. Any information from the outside world was not enough to arouse his interest at all.

"Sorry, but I don't think I have anything to do with you and your detective agency."

With a slight nod of his head indifferently, Kaito intends to pass the other party and continue his journey - Pirate One left too many things for him in that secret room, and he has no extra time to waste on this kind of unknown stranger on people.

Of course, what Kaito understands more clearly is that if he doesn't use this as an excuse to force himself to spend every day in various magic tricks and the skills that must be mastered as a phantom thief, so busy that he can fall asleep as soon as he touches the pillow, then as long as he As soon as I have free time, I can't help but be filled with negative thoughts like "It's because of my own negligence that the thief is still alive and dead." I can't stop it, and I can't get rid of it either.

Although, Kaito himself knows better than anyone that this is not the case at all.

Although it was true that he relaxed his originally tense nerves because of the warmth and love from Pirate One and Chikage before, and his vigilance may have dropped a lot because of this, Kaito has since realized the fact that he crossed over and became Kuroba Kaito Since then, I have never forgotten the time when the robbery happened.

Although it is impossible to deduce the specific details, the year of nine years old is the most important point to be guarded against - Kaito will never forget this point no matter what.

However, this alone is far from enough.

Kaito wants to remind Pirates clearly, even when he was younger, it's not like he didn't think of confessing his origins to Pirates and Chikage.

He didn't want himself to be like an outsider, holding the guilt of stealing the body of Lu Yi and Qian Ying's real precious son, but he was still worried all the time amidst the warmth and love they gave him.

But the result of the experiment was a failure.

Kaito couldn't tell the two of them anything about "time travel".

As if there is an invisible hand controlling and manipulating everything, Kaito's behavior of being honest with his parents is not allowed by the law represented by this hand.

After trying various methods such as recording, handwriting, secret codes, and insinuations, all of which proved to be ineffective, Kaito, who was four and a half years old at the time, finally gave up on the matter of confessing his origins, and instead pinned his hopes on being able to do so when he was nine years old. Be careful to prevent that "accident" disaster from befalling Bandit One.

However, when Kaito really turned nine years old, he realized that what he could do was actually very limited.

Even if he found his father at the first moment when he learned that Pirate One was going to hold a world tour of fire escape magic, he sincerely told the other party his worries about the possible danger in his father's performance, and planned to borrow So I gave up my father's idea of ​​going on tour, but...

"Kaito, I'm a magician." Gently touching Kaito's little head, Roichi said with a smile, "For a magician, making a mistake...is not an existence that needs to be avoided and ignored. .”

——Only by accepting, facing up to, and not being afraid of mistakes, can a magician truly grow and transform.

Also being a magician, how could Kaito not understand this truth?

It's just that he couldn't tell Pirate One that the price of this mistake may very well be your life.

So all he can do is to carefully check the mechanism of the props before each performance, and then...watch the back of Pirate One on stage...

The tremendous pressure involved is completely unimaginable without personal experience.

And even under Kaito's strict surveillance, Pirate One still encountered unavoidable accidents, which made Kaito feel sad, and even felt a kind of unspeakable despair——

Could it be... the so-called fate is really inescapable?

Could it be... that his future fate has already been pre-determined by transmigrating into Kidd the Phantom Thief?

Could it be...he wants to know that he will be manipulated, and continue to live with a smile as if he doesn't know anything?

—— Kaito asked himself, he couldn't do that.

So for the past two months, he has behaved silently and shut himself up, completely sealing his heart and not allowing even Chikage to get close, not only because he was sad about the accident of Pirates, but also because Kaito no longer knew whether he was still alive or not. What can be done.

Since no matter what he did, he couldn't change the final outcome, so...why did he try so hard to live sanely?

Kaito fell into an unprecedented bewilderment.

Otherwise, with his excellent memory and analysis ability, how could he not connect him with the protagonist in "The Devil Detective Loki", the Nordic evil god Loki the first time he saw him?

——After all, the clues that can connect everything together are sufficiently obvious...

"Guest, maybe you really think so now, but please believe me, you will find out soon that we... will meet again."

——When Kaito stood still in front of this Suja detective agency for the second time, recalling the cold and distant rejection he faced a few days ago, the nine-year-old self who was not much taller than the current nine-year-old self claimed to be the owner of the detective agency The response made by the little boy...

The future Mister Moon Magician had to grit his teeth and admit that the other party had indeed... predicted the Emperor.

In recent days, strange things have happened frequently around Kaito.

Either a flower pot that "accidentally" fell from the roof of the school almost hit me, or when passing a signal light, I often "coincidentally" encountered a variety of large and medium-sized trucks with inexplicable brake systems, and some of them suddenly loosened their brakes at home. The gas valve that fell off, the huge billboard that was blown down by a sudden gust of wind on the street corner, the strange aquatic plants that "floated" from nowhere in the school swimming pool...

There are all kinds of things, and their attitudes are different.

If the first few Kaitos can be regarded as accidental accidents, then when they realize that such "accidents" and "coincidences" have been staged around me more than ten times within a week Not only that, but every time the unlucky guy who was chosen was himself...

Kuaidou couldn't sit still.

He was indeed very confused because of the incident with Touichi, and felt that he could not find the reason and meaning to continue to live optimistically and positively, but this did not mean that Kaito had already wanted to give up his life——

It is lucky enough to be able to live a new life and have parents who love and spoil him again, Kaito will no longer think hypocritically "since I can't change my destiny, what's the point of my life"!

It is one thing to be lost and bewildered, but another thing to cherish and respect one's own life. Kaito is not an idiot who can't even grasp such a simple fact.

That's why he's standing here again now, standing in front of this..."Tanque Detective Agency".

—He finally remembered.

An old European-style villa acts as an office, a three-headed detective with brown hair and blue eyes, a beautiful young detective assistant with a black ponytail and round frameless eyes, and the extremely strange name of the office called "Finch"...

Unexpectedly, this is still a world of comprehensive comics!

That's right, the first time Kaito found out that what he was traveling through was actually a comprehensive world was when he was nine years old, taking his encounter with Loki as an opportunity.

But after that, when the two had to part temporarily for some reason, Loki had to seal some of Kaito's memories of himself for some reason, which caused Kaito to diffuse the world at the same time. Forgot, that's why when he met the young boy from Yijiyuan later, he mistakenly thought that he had only discovered the world at that time - of course, these are all things for later.

The current scene is that Kaito and Loki, two beautiful young ladies of about the same height and appearance, are standing across the gate of the outer courtyard of the Tanque Detective Agency, one is standing at the door and the other is leaning against the window on the second floor, silently They looked at each other quietly.

"I said, we will meet again soon." Slightly raised the corners of her lips, revealing a charming and elegant smile that was completely incompatible with her cute and cute image. The beautiful brown-haired lady spoke out first, breaking the two The unspeakable silence between them.

"How is it? This time... Do you want to come in and sit down?" As if he didn't notice the great distance between the two, the fake boy named Rocky slightly raised his right hand in the direction of Kaito, and said It was a very gentlemanly invitation.

"...my honor." He raised his eyebrows in an instant, imperceptibly, perhaps even Kaito himself didn't realize that at the moment Loki made the invitation, the mood that had been turbulent since Pirate's accident turned out to be There was a sudden surge, and then...something deep in my heart began to gradually recover...

——There is always an existence in this world that can easily stir your heartstrings.

However, in the initial moments of this encounter, neither Kaito nor Loki knew how the person in front of him would affect him in the near future, even...

Disrupted the original trajectory of fate.
