Ekoda, Kuroba's residence.
Sitting in front of the computer, Kuroba Chikage looked at the picture of the villa she had found, pondered for a while, then took out her phone and called the butler.
As soon as the call connected, she got straight to the point: "Terai, does Kaito already know about the invitation to the Twilight Villa?"
"Ah, Madam, how did you know? Young Master does know that someone is sending out invitations in his name, and he is planning to go tomorrow to see who is so bold."
Terai Kinosuke on the other end of the phone was somewhat surprised.
He had just heard from a detective friend that someone was sending out invitations in the name of Phantom Thief Kid, and he was just talking to the young master about it when he realized how quickly the madam found out.
Besides, aren't the lady and the young master currently in a cold war?
Upon hearing that Kaito already knew the news, Kuroba Chikage pursed her red lips and didn't explain much, only instructing, "Since Kaito is going, then I'll trouble Terai to help him make the necessary preparations."
"Yes, madam."
After giving a few more instructions, Kuroba Chikage hung up the phone and stared blankly at the computer screen in front of her.
She knew her stubborn son all too well.
Since running away from home last time, Kaito hasn't returned and has been living with Terai Kinosuke in their secret base where they usually go out on missions.
Therefore, knowing that someone is causing trouble under the guise of Kaito Kid, Kaito will definitely go and get involved no matter what.
But the problem is...
Kuroba Chikage picked up her phone and opened an email containing a picture of an invitation that she had taken with her phone.
The person who invited him was Yuzuru Hanyu.
"Damn it!"
Kuroba Chikage twitched the corners of her mouth, a surge of urge to curse rising within her.
Wasn't it supposed to be that they were inviting detectives? How did they end up inviting Yuzuru Hanyu?
She really wanted to gouge out the other person's eyes so they could see for themselves what exactly made this devilish boy, Yuzuru Nan, resemble a detective!
The picture she received was sent by Yuzuru Hanyu, along with a sentence that clearly stated he would attend the dinner.
The fact that Yuzuru Hanyu is going to participate means that he will run into Kaito.
This is a real headache...
Kuroba Chikage stared at the information on her phone, her expression somewhat complicated, just like her current mood.
During this period of time, thanks to someone's persistent efforts, the phantom thief lady was horrified to find herself becoming more and more accustomed to the other party's endless tricks.
The current Kuroba Chikage is able to remain unfazed even when she is in shackles.
If this humiliating situation continues...
Kuroba Chikage could comfort herself by saying that for the sake of Toichi and Kaito, she should just endure it.
But after each training session, a certain boy seemed to become a completely different person, gentle and sunny, as if he had completely released all the darkness, like an attractive angel.
Kuroba Chikage raised her hand and touched her smooth, youthful face.
This is the amazing effect of the water of life.
The existence of immortality and rejuvenation was given away without hesitation, without any concern for the other party.
These days, she has received many amazing gadgets sent by Yuzuru Hanyu while she is at home.
This made Kuroba Chikage's attitude towards Hanyu Nanami increasingly complicated, and her heart filled with even more fear.
The complexity lies in the fact that she is increasingly unable to resist the boy's demands. Many times, even though she still feels humiliated, her body has already unconsciously acted according to his requests.
And this is precisely the source of her fear.
She actually began to enjoy the tenderness the boy showed her afterward.
Kuroba Chikage could no longer deceive herself; she could clearly feel that the image of Kuroba Toichi was gradually disappearing, disappearing, and disappearing again in her heart...
Until it was completely replaced by the figure of a certain boy, whose light and shadow intertwined.
After all, ever since Kuroba Toichi faked his death, the two of them hadn't seen each other in real life for a very long time, except for exchanging messages to let each other know they were safe, in order to avoid being discovered by the zoo.
"well......"
Kuroba Chikage sighed softly, her voice filled with helplessness and melancholy.
Perhaps there's also a hint of relief that's hard to explain...
She stared blankly at the computer for a while, then slowly got up and walked to a corner of the bedroom. She opened a hidden compartment, which contained all sorts of props that Yuzuru Nan had given her.
In addition, there was a bodysuit that Yuzuru Nanagi changed her into with a changing camera when she was caught sneaking into Yuzuru's house at night.
Kuroba Chikage decided to attend the banquet at the Twilight Villa.
Although Yuzuru had promised her he wouldn't target Kaito, there was a condition: Kaito had to provoke him first.
Will Kaito refrain from provoking them?
Well, without even thinking, Kuroba Chikage knew that given her son's personality, that was simply impossible.
There was no other way; after all, Kaito was his only son.
She needs to keep an eye on Kaito to prevent any accidents from happening.
As for not having an invitation, when would the Lady of the Phantom Thieves need an invitation?
.........
.........
"Phew, it feels tighter now?"
After changing into a bodysuit, Kuroba Chikage looked at her bulging chest in the mirror, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly.
Kuroba Chikage took a deep breath, trying to get used to the bodysuit. She gently shifted her body, attempting to find a more comfortable position.
At this moment, her mind was filled with countless thoughts.
Thinking about the changes in herself now, her feelings are complicated and subtle.
On the one hand, she felt an indescribable joy at regaining her youthful and beautiful state; on the other hand, the devilish boy who brought about all these changes, who filled her with humiliation, always made her feel conflicted and confused.
