Chapter 48: Old Friends Reunited



The day is approaching, and the question of whether to go to the show or not no longer needs to be entangled.

The organization let you check out the location online and offline, which happened to be near Jianggutian High School. You can use the excuse of watching a performance to find the school, walk around the area a few more times, and expand to the inside of Jianggutian High School.

You entered the school with the ticket that Kuaidou had given you earlier, but you were quickly lost in the bustling crowd. Everywhere you turned, you saw people coming to enjoy the show, and your vision was mixed with the colorful decorations all around.

"..." With a sigh, you stood under a big tree near the school gate and took out your cell phone to call Kuaidou.

The school is so big, why don't you give up exploring_(:з)∠)_

Hei Yu Kaidou came very quickly. You saw him from a distance, wearing a black knight's suit with gold trims, walking towards you quickly. "Hey, boss!" He laughed, "That's why I left my phone number. Our school is very big. It's easy to get lost without a guide~"

“Yeah,” you looked him up and down, “Are you going to play the knight?”

"Yes, the drama is the first one." He said as he walked, "I will go off the stage and change into the magic clothes - come on, let's go backstage first."

You followed him through the crowd and entered the backstage from the side door. The students inside were busy putting on makeup and changing into costumes for the performance. As soon as you stepped in, a faint voice came from the side -

"Kuroba-san, you always seem to like being in danger."

"What?" Kuaidou was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned into half-moon eyes. "What? You're saying such weird things again."

The Red-Haired Witch turns her gaze towards you: "However, this danger does not have any bad intentions at the moment."

You blinked innocently: "...I'm just an ordinary bookstore owner."

Koizumi Hongzi snorted and looked at Kaito. “Kaito,” she lowered her voice so that only the three of you could hear it, “he already knows your other identity, so there’s no need for you to hide it… the thief.”

"Hey, hey, I told you I'm not—" Kuroba Kaito pointed at himself, "I'm just an ordinary high school student!"

"Ha." Koizumi Hongzi smoothed her hair and changed the subject, "Hurry up and gather, you will be on stage soon." She turned around gracefully and left in small steps.

"..." Kaito turned around and said to you, "Don't take her words too seriously. Hongzi is always so mysterious."

“…Okay.” You nodded, not wanting to reveal your true identity.

Your eyes focus on Hongzi's receding figure. In fact, you are quite curious about her magic - you don't know what the world view is here.

"Kuaidou, you're finally here," Qingzi exhaled, "We were still looking for you - where did you go?"

"I'm going to pick up a friend," Kuroba Kaito said with a grin, "Don't worry Aoko, I'm always on time."

"Oh no, this is bad," Keiko Momoi wandered around anxiously, "Takahashi just called and said he couldn't come because of an emergency, but the play is about to start--" She looked up and saw you, "Classmate, can you help me temporarily?" She stepped forward and grabbed your clothes.

"Eh? I'm not..."

"Please!" Tao Jingkezi took two steps back and bowed. "It's only two lines. It's very simple!"

"Takahashi... your character seems to be a bard?" Kaito thought for a moment and patted your shoulder. "It suits your temperament very well. Come on, boss!" he invited.

"..." You scratched your head, "Okay, I'll try my best to cooperate."

For you, who have already honed your acting skills, it is not difficult to play a supporting role with two lines, but you still pretend to practice your facial expressions and lines backstage.

Practicing in front of a mirror, you can see the burgundy-haired witch behind you—she is standing not far from you, looking into your eyes in the mirror.

You just stared at her crimson eyes for a few seconds, and the next moment she was already on your right side.

“!”So fast!

"You know me too, right?" She looked sideways at you, questioning you with an affirmative tone.

"..." You didn't intend to hide anything in front of the legitimate heir of Red Magic, so you kept smiling, "Yeah. I didn't expect you were still interested in me?"

"Hmph," she turned her eyes to you, "You don't seem to be from here, trapped in the known and unknown time and space, a tourist lost on the journey?"

"..." You blinked, "Not lost. Because I will always come back."

"I'm not interested," she said calmly, "as long as your danger doesn't affect him."

“Can you share some thoughts on this?” You teased. “This is very witch-like.”

Subjectively, you have no intention of getting involved with Kaito, but you also don't know whether danger will happen to him in the future - letting Koizumi Akako occupy the future is also what you want to know.

In your slightly curious and expectant eyes, she curled the corners of her lips and whispered: "I can't see your future."

"?"

You were stunned when you heard that.

"..." Koizumi Hongzi didn't seem to want to continue chatting with you. She turned around and prepared to walk away. Before that, she tilted her head slightly, with a mysterious smile unique to witches, and spoke word by word:

"Because--"

“You are the future.”

Koizumi Akako's words are still full of confusion. You shake your head, put aside the part you don't understand, and continue to focus on the current situation.

The play was the first to go on stage, followed by a magic show by Kuai Dou. You performed well on stage, and after Kuai Dou left the stage, he hurried to change his clothes, while you stayed backstage, ready to go to the front stage when Kuai Dou performed his magic show.

The backstage staff and the performers were busy, and almost no one noticed you in the corner. You were happy to be quiet, quietly editing the tasks assigned to you.

Until you hear soft footsteps approaching you——

Your fingers nimbly and quickly switch screens, and you immediately look up and down at the person who is coming - a little boy with black hair and phoenix eyes. He stops in front of you, looks up and smiles, "Big brother, where is the bathroom?"

...Xiao Jingguang? ! !

You were shocked in your heart, but you still smiled calmly on the surface: "Come on, little brother. I'll help you look for it."

He walked over and grabbed the corner of your clothes, and continued to chat casually: "The cherry blossoms this spring are so beautiful. I still remember them in midsummer."

"Indeed, this is the surprise of this year." You naturally matched the code.

You smiled at each other, and he showed the watch-like wristband on his wrist and mouthed: A small signal blocker made by the doctor.

To block eavesdropping devices. You understand.

The two of you walked to an inconspicuous corner in tacit understanding and began to communicate in low voices.

He said, "I was watching the performance at the front stage just now, and I thought that character looked a bit like you in disguise. Plus, you said you were in Jianggutian Town, so I came backstage to confirm it."

You smiled: "That's a coincidence. I'm here to represent someone who's in a hurry. So, why are you here?"

"It's the elementary school holiday, and Ayumi and her friends planned to watch a show together, so we came here together."

You are shocked: "Wait...wait! Could it be that Conan also--"

Can't the Demon Universe Ekoda Town escape the shroud of the Death Halo? Is the harmonious and beautiful Ekoda coming to an end? ?

"He didn't come." Jingguang answered, "He and Ai went to the Rice Flower Museum, so I brought the three children here to watch the show."

You breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh...you scared me."

"..." Jingguang paused and hesitated for a moment, "It seems that there are indeed a lot of murders around Conan...but..."

"Be more confident, take off the ass, take off a little bit." You said seriously, "But it's okay, you will get used to it after being together for a long time."

Jing Guang: “…”

"Oh, by the way, how did you get here?" You tilted your head slightly, "Did Dr. Agasa drive you here?"

The doctor takes care of the children every day. You think with dead fish eyes.

"No, Professor Agasa took Conan and Ai to the Beika Museum."

Eh? You were stunned.

"Then who is taking you--" Before you could finish your words, a familiar voice came from behind you again.

"Jiang Jing, what are you doing here?"

Your pupils suddenly shrank, but luckily you were facing away from that person. Jingguang shook your hand, then turned around and smiled, "I'm asking where the bathroom is, Jinping-nii."

"Ah... You haven't been back for so long, I thought something happened to you."

“…” After adjusting your facial expression, you turned around and smiled, “Hello, I’m pointing out the location to the kids.”

"Oh, hello."

Jinpei Matsuda was wearing a black and white casual shirt and looked the same as usual. He leaned against the wall with one hand in his pocket, his sunglasses in his shirt pocket, and still looked very casual.

His eyes only briefly swept over you, and then his focus fell on Xiao Jingguang: "Don't run around randomly, and your other friends."

"Okay." Jingguang nodded obediently, "Then Jinping brother, please accompany me to the bathroom."

"Really?" he complained casually, "I need someone to accompany me even when I go to the toilet. I really don't like taking care of children. It's too troublesome." Despite saying this, he still bent down and stretched out his hand.

Little Jingguang laughed, trotted over, took Matsuda's hand, and took him away.

“……”It’s like meeting old friends again, for you.

——Although it was the first time for each other to meet.

It seems that the other person is living a normal life? You feel relieved.

"..." With mixed feelings in your heart, you still stood by like an ordinary passerby, without saying much.

You didn't relax until their figures gradually faded away. Your muscles were so stiff and sore, so you squatted down and rubbed your calves silently.

"boss!"

Kaito changed into a white magic costume, and his whole body was filled with the youthful vitality of a teenager, as if it could dispel all the troubles and worries.

"I'm going to go on stage!"

“Wow, you look a lot like that guy in all white—” You tilted your head, “Thief Kidd?”

"What? This magic suit is provided by the school. Don't think of Kidd when you see white!"

You curled your lips: "...Okay, I'll go to the front stage to watch your performance."

Kuroba Kaito raised a finger and said, "Hey, Boss, I'll let you in on a little secret. There will be some interaction with the audience later."

"Let's look forward to the lucky audience together!" he laughed.

The author has something to say:

Although life goes on as usual, there are many things that cannot be seen on the surface (sigh)

Let us look forward to the lucky audience together (dog head)
