"See, little brother? I told you I was a staff member!"
As Conan accepted his work pass, Kaito, looking slightly smug, took another group photo of the three people feeding each other, and even admired his impeccable photography skills.
Having roamed the world for many years, I pay the most attention to details.
However, Kaito couldn't help but have his doubts. Koizumi Akako, that eccentric woman, really did have a problem. She had confidently said that if Hanyu Nan would eat the so-called True Love Chocolate, he would fall hopelessly in love with her. But now it seemed that it had no effect at all!
After all, his mother and that big star also "ate" the chocolate with Yuzuru Hanyu.
While internally ranting, Kaito held out his hand to Conan: "Alright, can I have your work ID now...?"
Before Kaito could finish speaking, Conan's wristwatch was already pointed at him.
"call out--"
A flash of silver light.
"Damn it!"
Kaito instinctively leaned back, and the tranquilizer dart grazed his nose, hitting a middle-aged man behind him who was looking at an exhibition.
The middle-aged man touched his neck with a blank expression, his eyes full of confusion, as if he hadn't figured out what had happened, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"What's going on? This is completely unpredictable!"
Kaito was internally screaming, but on the surface he pretended to be panicked, covering his mouth with his hands and shouting, "Little brother, what are you doing? What happened to that customer?"
Conan's glasses reflected the light, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "When a normal staff member is asked to show their ID by a child, their first reaction should be 'Go play somewhere else,' right, Phantom Thief Kid!"
Even without facing the overpowered Hanyu Nan, the great detective's intelligence remained sharp, easily seeing through the disguise of the Phantom Thief Kid.
Hattori Heiji, who was some distance away, noticed the commotion and immediately ran over: "Kudo! What's going on?"
The situation was bad. Touzi didn't even have time to complain about whether Conan was cursed or not, as he always managed to see through her disguise. She made a quick decision and slid a few special playing cards out of her sleeve.
"Bang!"
A burst of colored smoke suddenly exploded in the center of the exhibition hall, attracting everyone's attention. Taking advantage of the chaos, Kaito quickly threw out a white top hat and pressed a mechanism on his belt at the same time.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
A familiar voice came from above the booth. Everyone looked up and saw a white cloak fluttering in the air as Phantom Thief Kid landed gracefully on the treasure return platform set up by the police.
"It's Kid!" Inspector Nakamori's booming voice instantly echoed throughout the exhibition hall. "All personnel on alert! Don't let him get away!"
The police immediately surrounded them as if facing a major threat, flashes of light went off one after another, and reporters frantically took pictures.
Kaito stood on high ground, his white cape fluttering in the wind, his monocle reflecting a cold light, and a signature confident smile on his lips.
At that moment, Douzi felt incredibly cool.
However, his cool demeanor only lasted three seconds.
"Kidd—!"
A pink-clad figure suddenly leaped from the crowd.
Almost the instant Kaito Kid appeared, Ran reacted, using the display case as leverage, and launched a Leo Flying Kick straight at him, her skirt drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
For this young girl, only her Nan can be cool!
No one else will do!
Holy crap!
When Kaito saw this violent woman who had twice sent him to the hospital, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He hastily dodged to the side, barely avoiding the fatal blow.
"boom!"
A flying kick from a violent young girl struck the booth directly, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the sturdy tempered glass surface. The entire audience gasped in shock, contributing to global warming efforts.
Officer Nakamori was completely dumbfounded.
Whose general is this?
"This girl... she's even more enthusiastic than us police officers..."
Kaito swallowed hard and decided to change his strategy immediately.
It wasn't that he wanted to back down, but if that kick had actually landed on him, he probably would have collapsed into bed like a dead fish, and might even have gone to see the King of Hell.
Can't afford to offend them, can't afford to offend them...
Douzi raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Wait! I didn't come here to steal anything today!"
As he spoke, he took out a box from his cloak. Inside was the dragon-horse treasure he was going to return. Although it was fake, to him it was real now, and even a fake had to be real.
"I've come to return the treasure!"
Kaito spoke righteously, trying to make his voice sound more convincing, while stealing a glance at Ran, who was in a fighting stance with a frosty expression, "As a morally upright phantom thief, I believe these artifacts belong to the entire nation..."
"Don't believe this thief's nonsense!"
Aoko's voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Kaito froze, as if he had seen a ghost.
The girl was pointing at him angrily, her blue eyes burning with fury.
"Qing, Qingzi?"
Kaito's heart skipped a beat. "When did she arrive?"
His attention was completely focused on his mother and Yuzuru Nanami, and he hadn't noticed that his childhood friend was also present. Now he's in big trouble. If she discovers his true identity, he'll probably be chopped into mincemeat...
"Aoko's right!" Sonoko immediately chimed in to her new friend. "That big white bird-man is the biggest liar!"
"A giant white birdman..."
Kaito's lips twitched, and he felt a surge of frustration. "Don't give me such a weird nickname! This name is awful and doesn't suit my dashing and handsome image at all!"
Aoko had squeezed to the front row and stood side by side with Ran. The sight of two girls who looked almost identical glaring at him made Kaito's legs inexplicably go weak.
Even after being chopped into minced meat, it still felt like the pieces were too big...
"Nakamori is right!"
Seeing his beloved daughter arrive at the scene, Nakamori Ginzo was extremely anxious. He quickly led the police officers to surround Kaito like a tidal wave, fearing that Aoko would be harmed in the slightest.
"Kidd, you're not getting away this time!"
Hehe~
Kaito laughed twice, then his eyes darted around before he suddenly pointed at Yuusuke: "Actually, I'm here today on behalf of this gentleman!"
All eyes immediately turned to Yuzuru Hanyu.
What a handsome young man! That was everyone's instinctive reaction.
Yuzuru: "???"
He was holding Kuroba Chikage's slender waist, watching the farce with great interest, when the flames of war suddenly and without warning spread to him, leaving him completely bewildered.
Is it that I can't lift the knife anymore? Or is the weapon floating in the air?
