Chapter 148 Teach Me Magic

Until he met the 11th person.

Looking at the pale gold text floating on the card, E remained silent for a moment. "I'm sorry, Mr. Nagano Tomoki, the church cannot help you with your wish."

Hearing this, Nagano Tomoki, who was already nervous, became even more nervous. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "I...can I change my wish?"

With a flick of his finger, E magically transformed one card into two. "Of course you can, but you should know that changing your wish also comes at a price, a different kind of price."

With slightly trembling hands, Nagano Tomoki took the blank card handed to him, then took out an ordinary pen from his pocket and wrote a sentence on the card. As he wrote a word, the previous word would disappear.

After adding a period to the sentence, Tomoki Nagano handed the card to E.

E glanced at the card and nodded slightly. "A proposal will be delivered to you at 6 p.m. tomorrow."

"Of course, we only provide the plan and the opportunity; success depends entirely on yourself."

E's tone was indifferent.

Tomoki Nagano nodded with some difficulty. "I understand."

E glanced at his figure gradually disappearing into the darkness, then looked down at the card in his hand, and let out a soft click of his tongue.

The next second, a similar white-gold figure appeared beside them, but it was noticeably shorter.

He lifted his hood, revealing his youthful face.

Kawasei Machi glanced at the card in Kawasei Maru's hand and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Interesting. That guy's got some nerve."

"What does it matter to me whether he's timid or not?" Kawasaki Maru glanced at him coldly. "Have you taken care of everything on your end?"

Kawasaki Machi: "...It's all resolved."

This clone is so cold-hearted.

"Hmm," Kawasaki Maru responded, then another card appeared in her hand. "Next place..."

“Let’s go to Nagoya, E.” Machi Kawasaki interrupted him abruptly, giving him a location, and then pulled his hood back up on his own.

Kawasaki Maru put the card away. "Let's go then."

Nagoya, Kuroba Residence.

Kaito Kuroba poured himself a glass of water, then sat on the sofa, propping his chin up with one hand and staring blankly at the small black gift box on the table.

Mr. R...

He first met him seven years ago.

He was still in elementary school then, in the autumn, after school.

He met R at a dessert shop, and he also had a strong interest in magic due to his parents' influence.

So when I saw him playing with a few glass beads that appeared and disappeared in his hand, my eyes lit up instantly, and on a whim, I... went over to him.

"Magic?" The blond, blue-eyed, gentle and handsome man looked at him with some surprise, but the smile on his lips did not disappear.

"You little guy can do magic?" He leaned back in his chair with interest, twirling a crystal-clear glass bead in his hand.

The shorter version of Kaito Kuroba nodded with a hint of pride, "Of course I can!"

"Really? Then show me one!" The man gestured for him to sit down in the chair opposite him.

Kaito proudly pulled out his gadgets from his backpack, only to be utterly defeated.

Little Kaito:......

He reached out and grabbed the man's sleeve, his eyes lighting up. "Can you teach me magic?"

The man gently removed his hand, picked up his teacup, took a sip, raised an eyebrow slightly, and chuckled, "Teach you... magic? It's not impossible, but can you afford the tuition?"
