Chapter 76 Can I get to know you?

Chapter 76

"What are you talking about?"

Having just met him aboard the Sally Beth not long ago, Kuroba Kaito confirmed his memory. Seeing the confusion on his face, Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath and looked at him with a scumbag gaze. "Aren't you friends? Saying you don't know Kurokawa is a bit much, isn't it?"

Friend? Gong You frowned. Where did he get a friend named Kurokawa?

Thinking that the other party was joking with him, Miya You looked a little helpless. Considering that Kuroba Kaito was now dressed as a girl, he simply opened the car door and let the person get in first.

"Today is not April Fools' Day, Kuroba."

Kuroba Kaito:?

How did this get into April Fools' Day? Does he look like someone who would joke about something like that?

"I'm not messing with you. Kurokawa and I were both hit by that strange bazooka. While Kurokawa's strength doesn't warrant my concern, it's a bit excessive to just ignore him."

"So what does this have to do with me?"

What do you mean by "what's the connection with him"? The fact that Kurokawa Kaoru brought her aboard the Sally Beth suggests they have a good relationship, and at least her character is trustworthy. And now that Kurokawa Kaoru is nowhere to be found, Miya Yuu claims she has nothing to do with him?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Kurokawa Kaoru was a terrible friend. Kuroba Kaito clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to beat him up. He said expressionlessly, "Does your phone still have battery? Lend it to me. I can't find mine."

After all, they are friends. After hearing what Kuroba Kaito said, Miya You immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Of course, Kuroba Kaito remembered Kurokawa Kaoru's number. He didn't know if her phone had been lost on the way here, like his own, but making a call was better than doing nothing. With that in mind, Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath, picked up Miya Yuu's phone, and called Kurokawa Kaoru.

Almost immediately, the call was picked up, and then Kurokawa Kaoru's voice came through the receiver: "Miya Yu? Calling me at this time, what's going on?"

"Kurokawa!"

Kuroba Kaito raised his voice: "Where are you now?"

"Black Feather."

Hearing Kuroba Kaito's voice, the other party paused for two seconds before continuing, "So you and Miya Yu are together."

It's already this hour and this guy is still mentioning Gong Yoo? Doesn't anyone care about his feelings?

He swore that after he met her, he would complain to Kurokawa Kaoru about Miya Yu's unreliability. Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath and said, "Send me the location, I'll come to you later."

"Are you okay on your own? You won't get lost, right?"

"This is Japan, not any other country. Who are you looking down on, you bastard?"

"Sorry, sorry. I'll wait here for you to come find me."

When Kuroba Kaito was talking to Kurokawa Kaoru, Miya You had been secretly listening to their conversation. When the call was connected just now, although the voice was very low, Miya You still heard the other party calling his name.

He didn't remember ever meeting someone named Kurokawa Kaoru, but judging by the other person's tone, it was clear that they had a good relationship, otherwise he wouldn't speak in that tone. Furthermore, Gong You was also somewhat curious about the fact that he hadn't met the other person before, but felt a subconscious closeness just by hearing their voice.

Seeing Kuroba Kaito finish the call with the other party in a few words, Gong You's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask: "So you are going to look for this Kurokawa Kaoru now?"

"What else?"

Kuroba Kaito raised his eyebrows, "Stay here with a scumbag like you?"

How could he be called a scumbag? Gong You felt helpless.

He really didn't remember knowing someone like Kurokawa Kaoru in the past, but looking at Kuroba Kaito's expression, he knew that no matter what he said, the other party would not believe it.

Just then, Kurokawa Kaoru edited his location into a message and sent it over. Looking at the unfamiliar number displayed on the unread message, Gong You repeated the string of numbers in his mind, and after a moment of silence, he told the taxi driver the location in the message.

"Excuse me, could you please change the destination to the location I just mentioned?"

"sure."

"Trouble."

Watching the driver change the navigation destination to the new location, Miya You lowered his eyes and said in a flat voice, "Let's talk about the monjayaki next time. Aren't we going to look for Kurokawa Kaoru? Let's go together."

Didn't you just say you didn't know me? What are you doing now?

He looked at Gong You with a complicated look. Seeing the indifference on his face, Kuroba Kaito frowned and turned to look out the window.

never mind!

He thought to himself.

Anyway, Miya You is not his friend, so let Kurokawa himself deal with this issue.

After receiving the call from Kuroba Kaito, Kurokawa Kaoru immediately relaxed a lot. In fact, the moment he read out Miya Yu's name, Kurokawa Kaoru realized that the Miya Yu on the other end of the phone was not the one he knew. After hearing Kuroba Kaito's voice, Kurokawa Kaoru was even more certain.

If it was the Miya Yu he knew, if something like this happened, he definitely wouldn't give the phone to Kuroba Kaito. Instead, he would helplessly scold him and tell him to be careful next time, otherwise he would encounter bad things again. However, the other party chose to let Kuroba Kaito speak, which means that he was the one who initiated the call. As for Kurokawa Kaoru, he had never heard of him.

The previous conversation with Kudo Shinichi had already made Kurokawa Kaoru realize that the world ten years later was not his future, but more like a parallel time and space.

What a headache, Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself.

He had no interest in these superpowers. Although he had been reborn many times, he had always lived his life according to the rules. Things like this parallel universe were really confusing to him.

"Were you talking to Kaito Kidd just now?"

"Um."

"That guy, it turns out he can make friends with people his own age."

Ten years had passed, allowing Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito to understand each other's backgrounds. Furthermore, before Kudo Shinichi transformed back into Kudo Shinichi, the other had disguised himself as Kudo Shinichi, providing him with considerable assistance. Therefore, Kudo Shinichi had a somewhat complicated attitude towards his cousin, whose profession was somewhat unique.

Kudo Shinichi had learned a little about Kuroba Kaito's affairs. Remembering what Kurokawa Kaoru had just said, he frowned and said hesitantly, "So what you're saying is... you and this Kaito Kidd are both from the world ten years ago?"

"That's understandable."

Being able to travel through time and space was incredible enough, but if you add parallel universes to the mix, Kurokawa Kaoru worried that Kudo Shinichi's brain wouldn't be able to handle it. Besides, it wouldn't matter if he didn't go into such detail. Thinking of this, Kurokawa Kaoru blinked and continued, "Aren't you a detective? Why don't you help us figure out how to get back to the world of ten years ago?"

Kudo Shinichi:?

"I'm just a detective, not a prophet. How could I possibly know something like this?"

"You didn't know?"

"Put aside your regrets. Don't you think that if I knew even this kind of thing, I'd probably be caught and studied."

"That's true, but... don't you think that transitioning from a high school student to an elementary school student is more worthy of research?"

"Do you really have to bring up such a thing?"

"Feel sorry."

Really. Kudo Shinichi sighed and looked at him unhappily.

"Although I don't know how you came to the world ten years later, since I have already promised the other 'you' to help collect the bodies, I will help you with anything before you return."

"As expected of Kudo Shinichi."

Kurokawa Kaoru laughed and deliberately joked, "Japan's last savior, whether I can return alive depends on you."

"Could you please not use such horrible names? Those reporters are just exaggerating. After all, I'm just a detective. How can I be considered a savior?"

"That's... the Japanese detective's last conscience?"

“…”

I told you not to use such a scary name!

A few minutes later, Kuroba Kaito arrived.

Upon discovering that Kurokawa Kaoru and Kudo Shinichi were together, Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and trotted over to Kurokawa Kaoru and asked, "Why are you with our famous detective?"

"It's hard for me to explain this to you."

Kurokawa Kaoru blinked: "Don't talk about me first, why are you with Gong You?"

"How should I know?"

Speaking of this, Kuroba Kaito also felt confused: "I only know that when I woke up, I saw him. From what he said, it seemed that he had made an appointment with me to eat monjayaki. It was completely inexplicable."

Oh right... Gong Yoo!

Belatedly realizing that he hadn't told Kurokawa Kaoru something, Kuroba Kaito's eyes widened, and he was about to speak—

"Excuse me for interrupting you."

The sudden sound made Kurokawa Kaoru's expression freeze, and then he looked in the direction of the sound. When his gaze met her, Miya Yu opened her mouth, inexplicably nervous.

In fact, he hadn't planned to speak. Kuroba Kaito could tell at a glance that he had a lot to say to Kurokawa Kaoru, and since he didn't know Kurokawa Kaoru, he wouldn't know what to say even if he tried to interrupt. But when he saw that Kuroba Kaito was about to tell Kurokawa Kaoru about himself, the impulse of that moment made Miya Yuu speak.

When Miya You reacted, he saw Kurokawa Kaoru looking at him.

"Excuse me, is your name Kurokawa Kaoru?"

Seeing the person nod hesitantly, Gong You's expression relaxed, and he didn't even realize that he felt a little happy for the other person.

"Although I think there must be some misunderstanding, but..."

"If it's okay, can I get to know you?"

TBC.
