Chapter 87 Artificial Weapons 23
The white hang glider swooped down like a flying bird, then gradually gained altitude.
The city below is full of neon lights and a strange look.
The thief Kidd held Cherry's waist tightly to prevent her from falling, although she didn't care much and just looked down intently, as if if he let go, she would just fall down with a smile.
"What are you looking at?" asked the thief Kidd curiously. He had seen this scenery many times and it seemed nothing special.
"Tokyo."
"It's really beautiful with all these lights on." The thief Kid understood it. When he first looked down at the night view of Tokyo from a high place, his chest swelled.
What was he thinking at that time?
It seemed as if he was thinking that it would be great if he could take Aoko with him and jump down together so that she could also see this scenery.
"No." Sakura denied, "It's not the light. I'm looking at those places where the light can't reach... In those dark places, I don't know how many people have died."
His voice was carried by the night wind.
"All of this makes up Tokyo, which my little prince loves deeply and protects with all he has."
The hang glider stopped on the roof of a building, automatically retracted, and turned into a white thief's cloak again.
The Phantom Thief Kid put Sakura Kanade down, put one hand on his chest and saluted, "There is a staircase leading down from this rooftop. We will say goodbye here. I wish you good luck."
Sakura Kanade smiled at him and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Thief."
Under the moonlight, the white cape of the Phantom Thief Kidd fluttered in the night wind. His eyes were still fixed on the young man in black.
"Before I leave, please forgive me for saying something. As a thief, human emotions are also my precious stolen goods, so I am very sensitive to other people's emotions. If my feelings are not wrong... do you have a sense of guilt towards your friend - your little prince?"
Yingtao Zou was stunned. He held onto the edge of the balcony to steady his tired body. The arm sticking out from the black sleeve was horribly pale, as if it had lost all the blood.
He spoke slowly, in a tone unusually calm, "I have deceived him many times... and will continue to deceive him in the future. So I want to at least compensate him a little."
"Does this compensation also include...murder?" The voice of the Phantom Thief Kidd deepened. "Since your little prince is willing to do everything to protect Tokyo, if he knew that you killed someone, I'm afraid he would..."
"You dislike me?" Yingtao raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly, "That's really... what I want."
The thief Kidd suddenly stopped rushing to leave. He thought about what the other party said and frowned more and more. "Are you afraid that he will be sad about your death?"
Sakura looked at him strangely and muttered, "He's quite smart."
"Are you an idiot?" Thief Kid raised his voice.
"Even if it is." Sakura said indifferently, "But thank you for caring about me, even after seeing me kill someone."
Kidd the Phantom Thief cleared his throat awkwardly. "No matter what, killing someone is not okay, even if the other person is a bad person... Also, if you are sick, go to the hospital, and don't give up until the last minute. If I were your friend, I would rather you be alive and make me angry than see you lying in a grave, unable to respond to me anymore."
He became more and more serious as he spoke. "I know that many lies are done out of necessity, but there is one thing that cannot be deceived. No matter how hard you try to hide it, a true friend can feel your true feelings, and therefore can never really dislike you."
"So, if death is inevitable, at least be happy now. One more moment of happiness now means one more second of memory in the future. Don't let misunderstandings waste your time."
The white thief conjured a bunch of flowers from his chest. The blue petals were crowded together, and the center of the flower was emitting a moon-like light. This was one of the most suitable flowers to represent friendship - forget-me-not.
The thief handed the flowers to Sakura Kanade, "I allow you to offer the flowers to Buddha, to send blessings and prayers to your friends."
The night wind blew the petals of the forget-me-not flowers. Sakura Kanade reached out to take the bouquet, but her eyes suddenly froze and she pushed the thief Kid away.
A small anesthetic needle passed by the spot where the Phantom Thief Kidd had just been.
At the entrance to the rooftop, the young detective Edogawa Conan, wearing a blue suit, was panting and holding up a watch-shaped tranquilizer gun.
"It was really dangerous, I was almost caught!" The thief Kidd exclaimed exaggeratedly, and his calmness just now completely disappeared, and he even seemed to be deliberately irritating. He smiled generously, "Goodbye, little detective."
The thief Kidd threw a smoke bomb to the ground, and the white smoke bit off a corner of the night. When the white smoke dissipated, there was no one there.
"Damn it!" Conan Edogawa quickly ran to the edge of the rooftop and looked down through the gap in the railing.
The thief flew away from the sky, while the other climbed down the six-story building with his bare hands. Sakura Kanade stepped on the ground, raised his head and poked his little head upwards, and Conan raised the corner of his lips.
Her chocolate-brown hair gently brushed across her nose, and her red eyes were as gentle as twinkling stars.
That weird thief... has a point.
When did he start to think ahead and behind?
…
"...Who are you?" Amuro Toru looked confused after getting up and rubbed his eyes.
A beautiful black-haired woman in a white dress was standing in the living room with a pink and white umbrella in her hand, smiling. Amuro Haro was spinning around her feet.
"Anada, you should call me Madam." The black-haired woman said in a soft voice. However, no matter how soft the voice was, it was obvious that it was a man's.
"Cherry?" Amuro Toru was shocked beyond words.
It is known that Cherry could not have asked Bermode to disguise him, so this could only have been done by him. The black-haired woman was exactly the same as the one Bermode had done for him last time.
Although Toru Amuro already knew that Sakura was good at imitating, he was still shocked for a while.
Sakura Sou put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Bourbon's mask is also ready. I'll help you with it!"
Bourbon was forced to sit on the chair by Cherry. After a while, he responded, "Wait, Cherry, I'm going to Poirot today--"
"I've already asked for leave for you."
"…But, there is one more thing…"
"Are you talking about the police? You've asked for leave too. I said you have a headache and you're not feeling well. Your boss told you to have a good rest and not to work too hard."
Bourbon: “…”
He has to take it slow because the amount of information is too much.
"...You know I'm a police officer?"
"Hmm... Bourbon, do you think silver or green wigs are better?"
"I would be grateful if you would use black hair... When did you know that?"
"That kind of thing doesn't matter, right? Can't you really consider the red-haired girl?"
Bourbon sighed, "Disguise is to conceal your identity. Wouldn't it be easy to be noticed if you used such bright colors?"
"Okay, you have a point." Sakura Zou threw the colorful wig aside regretfully.
He found the most plain black wig and turned around to meet Bourbon's complicated gaze. He seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he just closed his eyes and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Sakura Kanade's eyes lit up, "Dorobiga Park!"
"…How did you ask for leave from the police?"
"I sent this message from Bourbon's phone." He added, "I imitated Bourbon's tone."
“…I remember I set a password for my phone?”
"I used Bourbon's fingerprint to unlock it. Bourbon was sleeping soundly and didn't notice it at all." Sakura Kanade glued the edges of the mask and then looked at the only real eyes on the fake face. "Don't worry, I will protect Bourbon, so Bourbon can sleep peacefully."
Bourbon sighed and gave up trying to argue with him.
But it's not Sakura's fault... He never thought he would sleep so soundly one day. Is it because he's too relaxed here?
The disguise that Sakura Kanade gave Bourbon was basically based on the template of Belmode last time, but she made slight changes based on personal aesthetics. The eyebrows were made thinner, the nose bridge was straighter, the chin was thinner, and the entire facial features were made more three-dimensional.
The Zou family will never allow anyone who is not good-looking to appear!
Even if it's just pinching a friend's face!
Bourbon looked at the person in the mirror and fell silent. This appearance was a little eye-catching. He looked at Cherry.
The other person was patting his belly in front of the mirror.
"Well..." Bourbon hesitated, not knowing whether he should offer some advice.
Sakura Kanade said, "You mean why I'm not pregnant this time? It's unlikely that I'll have a baby so soon, but if I put air in my clothes, I won't be able to play happily. It's really embarrassing."
No, the problem is not about whether the woman is pregnant or not!
Bourbon put the question he was about to ask behind him and instead offered a suggestion, "Cherry, since you can make changes to your imitation disguise, is it possible that you don't have to disguise yourself as a woman?"
Having had enough, Sakura Kanade pretended to be sincere and said, "Wow, Bourbon, you are so smart!"
Bourbon choked.
Why do I feel like I've been tricked?
No way, Cherry is not that kind of person, and she doesn't have that kind of brain.
An hour later, two men wearing white caps walked into Dorobiga Park. As the most famous amusement park in Tokyo, Dorobiga Park is always crowded at any time.
Sakura Sora took the map and analyzed it in an orderly manner: "First, go to the Wild Ancient Island, then the Adventure Development Island, followed by the Magical Fantasy Island, then the Scientific Universe Island, and finally the Dream Fairy Tale Island... Isn't it too much? I'm afraid I can't finish it in one day? Tou, what do you think?"
Bourbon withdrew his gaze from observing the crowd, and after a second of silence, he coughed unnaturally, "Just go wherever you like. I'll accompany you."
Sakura Kanade snorted, crossed her arms and said unkindly, "You didn't even listen to me."
“…I’m sorry.”
"You are not allowed to think about anything else," Cherry pinched his chin, imitating the action Bourbon had done before, "At least today, I want you to completely give me your soul and body."
Bourbon raised his hands in surrender, "Yes, yes. Sorry, it's my fault. I promised to accompany you to relax."
Cherry smiled and took out a bunch of forget-me-nots from her arms and gave them to Bourbon.
"I heard someone say this is a flower that represents friendship. That person told me not to waste time..."
"So I hope that one day you will be able to laugh whenever you think of me, and all you can feel is happiness and joy."
