Yuanshan Ye looked at him and laughed.

He may pretend to be something he's not, but he's still a 17-year-old boy.

"Someone actually impersonated me and sent you an invitation!" he said indignantly.

Yoruichi Toyama couldn't resist teasing him.

"Yeah, that guy is so stupid!"

"Knowing full well that it was you who was captured by me, you still invited me in your name."

"I can't believe that!"

Kaito Kuroba was clearly so angry that he choked, wanting to retort, but couldn't find the words for a long time.

Finally, he muttered, "Well, you didn't realize it..."

"Of course I noticed," he thought.

That despicable detective noticed the oddity of the signature early on, which is why he came looking for me.

So, he wants to find out who this guy is, impersonating him and pretending to be a shaman? ...

Thinking about the recent series of robberies using the "Phantom Thief Kid" name, Kaito Kuroba had some ideas.

If only I could go along to investigate...

The boy felt this was perfectly normal, but he couldn't help but hesitate when facing the police.

Yoruichi Toyama chuckled and replied, "Yes, I'm really not good at word puzzles."

"If it's convenient for you, Kuroba-kun, could you come with me?"

Kaito Kuroba's surprise at this moment was no different from that of a mouse hearing a cat invite it to a bathhouse.

"But...but..."

What do you mean, "not good at word puzzles"? You're doing a pretty good job deciphering them yourself, aren't you? ...

As if sensing his doubts, Yoruichi Toyama did not hide anything.

"I didn't decipher this signature; it's... that of my younger brother, Yaozhi, whom you met last time."

That "magic apprentice" who's only at most in first grade?

Because of their shared love of magic, Kaito Kuroba had a deep impression of that child.

His expression was particularly unforgettable when he mentioned that his most admired magician was Reiko Chikamiya.

He's quite the little devil.

Comparing him to Conan, whom he had encountered before, Kaito Kuroba felt that the concentration of genius elementary school students he had met was a bit too high.

"Then...why didn't you take him with you? He's very capable..."

Without realizing it, the words slipped out, and then I realized I was cutting off my own escape route.

Wasn't he looking forward to personally exposing the imposter?

Or is it that the thought of going with this guy in front of me makes me feel a little awkward? ...

Yoruichi Toyama ignored his hesitation and said matter-of-factly, "He's still a child. How can I feel at ease sending him to a place like that, where we don't even know who the other party is!"

So you seem to trust me quite a bit, huh?

Kaito Kuroba felt that this person's words were perfectly reasonable, but as soon as they were spoken, they made people want to punch him.

I really hope that imposter thought the same thing...

When he arrived at the location, without saying a word, he put a sack over his head and beat him up!

“However,” taking advantage of Kaito Kuroba’s distraction, Yoru Toyama grinned and leaned closer, his voice flattering, “you’re different…”

"You are a genius among thieves, a magician under the moonlight, the Lord Kid who is adored by countless young girls!"

"Ugh!" Hearing that sickeningly sweet tone, Kaito Kuroba got goosebumps all over.
