The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"I'm not kidding you, have you already said it? This is something that can make wishes come true."

After Karasawa fully expressed his accusations against garbage game operations and profiteers, Leon, who had had enough laughter, put the empty cup aside and spoke a little more seriously.

"Haven't I gathered them all now? Or you've been painting cakes for me for a long time and you didn't tell me how to use them, right?" Tang Ze shook the golden cup in his hand and clicked his tongue with dissatisfaction, "No matter what In what form, store, exchange, you have to show me what I have, right?"

"This is not something I can decide." Leon put down the empty glass and straightened his stiff waiter's uniform. "I said, this is something that can 'fulfill a wish.' A wish? In fact, that is……"

He did not continue what he said next, but just winked and winked at Tangze.

This expression means that what follows is not something Leon can say clearly.

After a periodic showdown, Tangze and his assistants already had a certain tacit understanding in this regard.

So Tang Ze also put away the funny evil expression on his face and stared down at the cup filled with golden substance.

"...Wishes are actually desires?" Tang Ze thought for a while and tentatively guessed, "This is easy to guess. After all, it is something turned into a desire stone."

As for what the Desire Stone is used for in the original work, because the original work is unclear, Tang Ze is actually not very clear. He only knows that it can be used to exchange for some accessories and other props. Its appearance and function are, Obviously they are not very similar to Tang Ze's Desire Stone.

"Yes, wish is desire." Leon confirmed Tang Ze's statement, "It is some kind of crystallization formed by you collecting the twisted power of desire. So, how do you think this kind of thing should be used?"

"You also want to learn from Haihara Ai, 'the miracle of wishes coming true'... Then can't I just make a wish?" Tang Ze shook it twice, puzzled by Leon's pretentiousness.

It's not like Tangze has never tried making wishes. Whether he wished for something outrageous or something practical, it never had any reaction.

"There are many kinds of wishes. In short, I'm afraid the wish you made will not work." Leon shook his finger and said euphemistically, "If someone makes a wish to God and asks God to help him finish his holiday homework, you are God. , you also give him a big bag."

And in the final analysis, Karasawa's crazy wish was as if he had actually done a lot of homework.

Xingchuan Hui, who struggles hard every day with a sea of ​​questions, has something to say.

"It makes sense..." Tangze touched his chin and looked at the things in his hands with a pity, "So, what you are saying is that these jokes cannot count, and you have to be more pious."

"Yeah, miracles don't happen easily." Leon spread his hands.

"Is it a miracle?" Tangze turned the slender handle of the cup, and his thoughts couldn't help but wander.

It may be because he is a time traveler with too much super travel information. In his eyes, these supernatural concepts and world views are actually more like some kind of inherent settings, and they do not bring him too many thoughts. .

However, those who have truly seen the cognitive world and experienced the power of the Phantom Thief of Heart are definitely not as ordinary as him.

Tangze remembered that the first time he took Xingchuan Hui into the hall of Tonkouzhongyan, Xingchuan Hui looked shocked and speechless...

Tang Ze's heart moved, and he suddenly had some enlightenment.

"The end point of cognitive learning is the power to make your wishes come true... So, does it mean that I must have a desire as strong as enough to give birth to a palace, in order to really drive them?" Tangze raised his head, Looking into Leon's golden eyes.

Leon blinked, and the lights in the bar passed through his eyes, reflecting the same tiny spots of light as the things in Karasawa's hands.

"You finally figured it out." Leon nodded heavily, "The cognitive world, in the final analysis, is the gap between the material world and the spiritual world. It itself is the projection of the human spirit and the shadow of the material world... Sincerity is It is impossible for a spirit to enter this world without a strong desire or a firm will - whether a good or a bad will."

"Sincerity leads to wisdom." Tang Ze tossed the cup in his hand, "It would be a pity to leave this thing to me. As a time traveler, I lack awe for these things, and it is difficult to truly Make a wish sincerely...if you give it to others, it might actually work wonders."

Leon picked up the rag beside the bar and slowly wiped the new empty cup he had just taken out, without answering.

Tangze, who fully expected Leon to answer, waited for a few seconds, but when he saw that Leon remained silent, he looked over with some surprise.

Leon just continued to wipe the cup silently.

Tang Ze's expression stiffened.

The silence for these few seconds was deafening.

"Wait a minute, this thing can only be used by me, right? This is something from my velvet room, and I can't take it out."

Leon stared at Tangze for a while, the movements of his hands did not change at all, he just slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

This smile damn reminds Karasawa of the ending scene of the movie he just watched - Toru Amuro, who has basically determined his identity, looks at him who is unaware of this, and walks into the cafe as usual inner.

"...So I can actually take it out and use it?!" Understanding what he meant from his narrow silence, Tangze couldn't help but raise his voice by an octave.

Holy shit, he knew his velvet room was outrageous, but it was so outrageous, so outrageous!

His assistant is a clone of his soul, and there is even an entity that can be observed by others. He can actually walk out of the velvet room at any time and do something for Tang Ze in the material world. This is already an outrageous assumption. deal.

Can the things in his velvet room be given out to others? !

Tangze stared at Leon for a while, then stared at the cup in his hand for a while, and then his eyes quietly turned to the menu that Leon placed on the other side of the bar.

That's Karasawa's complete book of personas.

I don't know if it's to match the decoration, or if it's just the way Karasawa's velvet room is. His complete book of personas has a book cover with "MENU" written on it - anyway, Leon said it was a book cover.

Although the style of painting is indeed consistent here, when Karasawa was free to play with concave masks and saw Leon dressed as a bartender holding a menu and ordering, he still felt that something was wrong.

"That won't work." Leon reached out to cover his menu and said gently, "This is Persona, not Pokémon."

"That's it..." Tang Ze moved his eyes away and agreed, but other thoughts were already in his mind.

Well, why not find a chance to steal the book and give it a try.

There is only one wild world, how lonely it is like snow.

Then his eyes turned to the wine rack behind the bar, his eyes flickering, eager to try.

"...I can't wait to experience the feeling of fighting with my assistant. Just tell me, I can show off my health bar." Leon, who knew Tangze well, grinned without a smile, "Is there a possibility? , just because I know your nature so well, I don’t have the authority to tell you these things. If I had told you earlier, you would have haired all my carpets. "

Tangze, who was struck by what he said, cleared his throat.

One thing to say, indeed, if this kind of operation had been discovered earlier...

What should we do? This is what we RPG players are like.

With a helpless sigh, Leon put the polished cup back on the bar. With a flick of his fingers, the newly grown desire stone hanging on Karasawa's brooch shattered into fluttering gold powder. , fell into the bottom of the brand new empty cup.

"Okay, take your things and go out to play. Don't bother me."

————

After being mercilessly thrown out of the velvet room by his annoying assistant, Tangze walked out of the alley and saw a few familiar people standing in front of the cafe muttering something.

"Karasawa doesn't seem to be here. Isn't it a bit rude for us to go in directly?" Hattori Heiji, who glanced at Toru Amuro and was a little frightened, rubbed his neck.

Although I had known for a long time that Akechi Goro's boss was Karasawa's temporary guardian, it still felt different when I actually stood on his territory.

Especially at the beginning, in order to ask Akechi about Karasawa's situation, he was almost acting like a rogue. No matter how Toru Amuro hinted, he just sat in the detective agency and refused to leave, which annoyed Toru Amuro.

He didn't think there was a big problem at the time, but now when he went to play at someone else's house, he finally felt guilty that he seemed to have offended someone else's parents.

"Maybe in the attic." Conan pointed to the stairs leading to the mezzanine in the store, "Go in and ask."

"It's better to call him first..." Looking at Toru Amuro's busy back again, Hattori Heiji decided to play it safe.

"You guys are here." Karasawa, who knew exactly what Hattori Heiji was trying to do, spent a few seconds adjusting his uncontrollable smile, and walked to the door of the store freely, "Sorry, I ran to the convenience store. I went shopping and came back a little late. Why don’t you go in?”

"Convenience store..." Hattori Heiji glanced at the alley where Karasawa came out and repeated the word in a low voice, feeling that it was a little weird there.

He ran to the convenience store and came back late or something. Why did he feel like he had heard this sentence somewhere...

"Business is so good. Isn't it a bit troublesome for you to come here to get food?" Hattori Heiji muttered in his heart, but he was still polite.

"It's okay. I've said hello to Miss Enomoto and Mr. Amuro in advance." He casually picked up the book he threw down from the table at the door and led them into the cafe. "It's more troublesome than worrying about it." They are still very happy that I can make new friends."

Karasawa has lived in Tokyo for several months and has indeed made many friends, but Azusa Enomoto has expressed concern about the cold relationship with other students in the school.

Although Karasawa used the fact that he had fewer friends in Kyoto to try to prove that the current situation was already very good, after hearing this, Azusa Enomoto not only did not feel relieved, but actually became more worried.

"If you count us among your friends, Karasawa-kun, then wouldn't it be that the only people of the same age you really make friends with are classmate Mo Lilan and classmate Suzuki Sonoko? You need to get to know more friends of the same age!"

Azusa Enomoto would certainly welcome two high school students with fresh faces as guests in the store.

"That's it..." Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuki exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

It seems that Suzuki Sonoko's worries are indeed not groundless, and Karasawa's social situation is indeed quite strange.

Among his peers, except for his classmates Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, the only ones he knew were Kudo, him, and the uncomfortable Goro Akechi. The last three were all detectives, and they seemed to have "working relationships" that accepted his commission. .

The other friends are either elementary school students who are very young and feel that they cannot provide much emotional value and have to make him worry more, or they are Amuro Toru, Iwai Munehisa, etc., with an age difference of more than 10 years, and they are more like elders than friends.

Outside of school, his time was basically reserved for the detectives and Haibara Ai. At school, because of his previous unpleasantness, he had a cold relationship with his classmates and found it difficult to get close to them.

You really should take him to travel more and meet some new friends...

Karasawa, who didn't think there was anything wrong with his social circle, and whose social scope was very consistent with the original work, was completely unaware of their thoughts. He just took care of Azusa Enomoto and introduced the cafe's signature dish: "Amuro today If sir, do you want to try the seafood pasta? Well, that was what I had for dinner on the first day I came here. It was an impressive delicacy... Hey, by the way, Lan-san didn't come with you?"

"Oh, I didn't call her Xiaolan...sister." Conan, who realized that there was Toyama Kazuha among the crowd, changed the name, "She made an appointment with Sister Yuanzi and is going shopping today."

While speaking, he also glanced at Toyama Kazuha, who was holding Hattori Heiji's bag tightly and poking his head behind him like a small animal.

Toyama Kazuha, who was angry because of Hattori Heiji's broken appointment, had not completely given up his hostility and wariness towards Mao Lilan. Calling people over to have dinner together was somewhat of a Shura scene.

"Seafood pasta, right?" Azusa Enomoto, who came over with a drink, put the tray in front of them and took over with a smile, "I knew you wanted to eat this, so I prepared the ingredients in advance."

"My coffee..."

"There is no sugar. Mr. Amuro took the candy box away. You can tell him yourself."

"Ah..." Karasawa protested, looking at Toru Amuro's back standing in front of the cooking table, but not daring to really get close to him.

There was nothing he could do about it. The thrilling experience of falling off a horse and dying in society still remained in his mind. It would take him some time to adjust to a comfortable state. In a short period of time, he would be even more afraid of Toru Amuro than the current Hattori Heiji. .

Thinking of what he saw in the hall, the disgraced Tang Ze took a sip of the bitter coffee and turned to look at Conan.

Now that I think about it, I find that in the past two days, the biggest unlucky person was not himself who had his vest stripped off, but the guy in front of him.

Although Toru Amuro once suspected Kudo Shinichi's identity, as Conan's identity surfaced, his connection with the joker proved impossible.

Karasawa has also said before that Joker, Conan, and Kudo Shinichi are an impossible triangle. He cannot be three of them at the same time. As long as two identities are achieved, the third one will be impossible.

Toru Amuro is not an idiot, and he knows this very well.

Just like what he saw in the movie, Toru Amuro would use "Kudo Shinichi may be the Kaitou Joker" and "Edogawa Conan may be Kudo Shinichi" to ask Karasawa. The intelligence was more about testing Tang Ze's own reaction.

As for the cover-up trick used by Joker and them on the same stage, Toru Amuro's strong words may seem outrageous when it comes to Conan, but they are very possible when it comes to Karasawa himself.

Karasawa, who didn't realize that he was on the verge of being exposed, chose to clear up unnecessary grievances for Conan in order to explain the situation clearly, and by the way confirmed that Conan was indeed Kudo Shinichi.

At that time, Tang Ze felt that he was retreating in order to advance, and selling some real information would make his subsequent statements more convincing.

However, after a quick calculation, he couldn't help but failed to fool the opponent. He completely lost his horse in front of Amuro Tohru. He also completely took off Conan's vest. He went back and forth, resulting in a net loss of two people.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Karasawa rummaged around in his pocket, took out something, and handed it to Conan.

"What is it?" Conan, who had just taken a sip of his drink, was caught off guard by something cold and stuffed into his hand by Tang Ze. He lowered his head strangely and looked into his hand.

This is a piece of golden metal product, which has a cool feeling to the touch. It is not clear what material it is made of.

It has a very strange feel. It is obviously polished very smooth, and there is not much specular reflection under the light. Only a little blurry light and shadow can be seen on the surface.

Some strange associations crossed his mind, and Conan suddenly remembered many golden things, especially...

Back in Pisk, the joker who appeared on the scene to rescue Haibara Ai was taken out by Gin on the rooftop and was inexplicably suppressed by something.

Considering that it was Karasawa who brought out the things...

Conan carefully observed the gold ornament in his hand for a while. It was carved a bit like a skull, but somehow seemed to have several leaves. He raised his head again, looked at Tang Ze's expression, and his face turned serious.

Could it be that Tangze has made some new discoveries about cognitive mythology and wants to come to him to exchange opinions...

However, Tangze's next words directly caused his expression to completely break.

"Conan-kun, you..." Tang Ze looked at him seriously and asked solemnly, "Do you have any dreams?"

"……ha?"
