Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Hattori, who couldn't eat any more, let out a breath of foul air:

"So what's next? Should we go to Osaka Castle and wait?"

"The place Kidd mentioned is good...but the timing doesn't seem right to me..."

Yun Xianhe finished the last bite of ice cream and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hands. He put two fingers together and gestured to the two of them:

"Then let's separate first."

"Hmm? Brother Xianhe, you're not going to look for Kaito Kidd ahead of time, are you?"

Conan looked at Yun Xianhe in disbelief.

Could it be that their reasoning is all wrong?! No way?

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe rubbed the little detective's head twice, and said with empty eyes:

"How would I know where he was waiting in advance? I was just looking for the best seat to watch the movie."

"Ha ha."

Do you think he will believe it?

Yun Xianhe just shrugged his shoulders:

"If you don't believe me, forget it. Anyway, I won't interfere with this magic show. Bye - come on, detectives."

Conan and Hattori, who stayed where they were, watched Yun Xianhe blend into the crowd.

Conan spoke only after he could no longer see the other person's back:

"Based on Xianhe's reaction, there is definitely something wrong with our reasoning."

"That guy is really a good guy... Never mind, he would say he wants to watch a show right now, which means our deduction of the time is wrong."

"What does the twelfth word mean... It's not Japanese, it's not English, it's Russian? No, it doesn't make sense..."

"Simple... Xianhe said this code is simple..."

The two detectives here are still struggling with the preview letter.

On the other side, Yun Xianhe first bought two ice cream cones, found a place in the system space avoiding the crowd, and then walked leisurely towards his destination.

The roof of the Babel Tower.

The white dove that arrived early was not surprised at all when he saw the people sitting on the rooftop.

"Yo, good night, brave man."

"Good evening, Kidd!"

Yun Xianhe, who was staring at the moon in a daze, blinked, a smile instantly appeared on the corner of his lips, and he waved enthusiastically at the other party.

The Kaito Kidd who had landed folded up his glider, put his hands in his pockets, half bent over and looked at Yun Xianhe who was sitting on the rooftop, and said with a smile:

"I've thought of it a long time ago. If anyone in that group had to come up with the code, it would have to be you."

"It seems that you think highly of me. The preview letter is well written! Very poetic!"

The Phantom Thief, who received a thumbs-up from the hero, snorted and laughed:

"So, why did the hero come here in advance?"

"Come to see the magic show and give gifts."

Kidd was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Yun Xianhe stood up swiftly and did a classic snap of his fingers, imitating what Kaito Kidd did before.

A large bunch of golden sunflowers appeared in the other's hand. The soft golden petals stretched in the night breeze, dazzling the thief's eyes.

The hero's heterochromatic eyes curved slightly, and his tone was sincere and warm:

“I wish my favorite magician good luck with his performance!”

Kidd, who was so straightforwardly called his "favorite magician" for the first time in his life, stretched out his hand to press down the brim of his hat, his eyes wandering behind his monocle, and smiled and asked back:

"Aren't you a little too romantic? Are you feeling better from your pollen allergy?"

"Well, last time was just an accident. Come on, reach out and take it. I have something else for you."

"Thank you, brave man."

Kidd reached out and took the large bunch of sunflowers.

Just as he was thinking about how to take these flowers away, he turned around and saw Yun Xianhe taking out a silver bracelet.

"A high-tech bracelet that can turn you invisible, talk to people, and is bulletproof."

Kidd's eyes lit up when he saw the bracelet, and when he heard the last sentence, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled awkwardly:

"I shouldn't be that unlucky, right?"

"No, I just think that Officer Nakamori, whom I met today, has a bit of a grudge against you."

“…That’s right.”

Kidd reached out to take the bracelet and looked around at it.

This ordinary-looking thing... I really can't tell what it has to do with high technology. I can't even tell what it's made of.

He was not afraid that the other party would place a locator or something on it.

If Yun Xianhe really wanted to catch him, he would probably have been sent to the police station a few times before.

After carefully teaching the other party how to use it, Yun Xianhe reached out from behind and took out two ice creams in front of Kidd.

Kidd, who witnessed the whole process, twitched his mouth.

Perhaps because he was used to Yun Xianhe's various magical operations, he was no longer curious why these two things had not melted for so long.

“…Is this also for me?”

"Which flavor do you like?"

"chocolate."

There are still ten minutes left until the scheduled time.

Two idle guys sat on the rooftop, enjoying the breeze and eating ice cream cones, looking like a peaceful and tranquil time.

A white dove flew onto the roof.

Kidd, who had just finished eating ice cream, wiped his mouth, stretched out his hand to let the pigeon stand on his finger, and then took off the listening device on the pigeon's ankle.

Yun Xianhe took a glance and exclaimed slightly:

“This is a good technique.”

The thief raised his hand, and the white dove flapped its wings a few times, turned around and slowly landed on Yun Xianhe's shoulder.

Seeing that it wasn't afraid of humans at all, Yun Xianhe smiled and nodded its head:

"Be careful not to be caught and eaten if you are so good."

"Cuckoo!"

The pigeon pecks! The hero's finger HP -1!

Yun Xianhe, who was bitten by a pigeon for the first time, looked at the ignorant little thing on his shoulder and threatened with empty eyes:

"If you didn't have an owner, I would roast you tonight."

"Cuckoo."

"You don't like roasted food? Stewed food is also good."

"Cuckoo!!"

"I'll add more seasoning."

"Cuckoo!"

Looking at the person arguing with the pigeon, Kidd laughed twice.

He stood up and stretched his muscles, then jumped onto the signal pole in the center of the rooftop in a few steps and gracefully saluted Yun Xianhe below.

Yun Xianhe immediately straightened himself, raised his hand and started clapping.

The moon just rose next to the tower, becoming the stage background for the Phantom Thief. The wind lifted his white cloak, as if opening the curtain of the performance.

Kidd, wearing a white suit, showed his signature smile and raised his hands:

"Ladies——and gentlemen——"

The night wind carried the sound far away, like an echo in a theater.

"The show is about to begin!"

"Oh oh oh!!"

The lone front-row spectator began to cheer.

Kidd pointed at Osaka Castle in the distance, and as Yun Xianhe turned his head, he pressed the small remote control.

Countless fireworks soared into the sky and bloomed above the brightly lit Osaka Castle.

Yun Xianhe held the pigeon that wanted to escape in his arms and let out a long scream.

Kidd watched as the other person took out a camera from somewhere and started taking pictures of the night scene in the distance.

“It’s so beautiful—”

"Are you ready? The next show is going to be even more exciting!"

·

at the same time,

Conan and Hattori, who finally understood the meaning of the warning letter, began to act separately, determined to stop Kid's behavior!

Officer Chaki and others guarding Osaka Castle viewed the fireworks outside the window as a formidable threat, always feeling that Kidd would rush out of the fireworks in the next second.

As for President Suzuki and Kogoro Mori, who had already made an appointment to have a drink together, they were expressing their feelings of elegance and peace.

Even Xiaolan and the other two who were shopping alone praised the fireworks, but Heye, a local, found it strange.

Because there is no fireworks show today.

Officer Nakamori, who was hiding in a small building with the Egg of Memory, naturally saw it as well, but he ignored it.

It was just a trick played by the other party to lure them out. He would not be fooled this time!

·

The detective who had seen through everything kept running through the streets and alleys;

The thief standing on the rooftop was very satisfied with people's reactions, and raised his hand to press another button on the remote control.

After a brief explosion, the substation stopped operating.

The whole city fell into complete darkness.

Yun Xianhe was stroking the pigeon while looking around the city, and instantly understood Kidd's intention.

He probably resorted to this method because he heard Officer Nakamori say something on the wiretap about taking the egg and moving it.

Once the power goes out, except for some fixed places, the excess light will naturally be the target location.

"How about it? Want to go together?"

"Uh-no, I'm afraid those two guys will explode if they see me hang gliding with you."

"Hahaha, that little detective?"

"Yeah, but I think he and Kidd might become friends."

"Well, who would know such a thing? Well, see you later, hero."

"Bon Voyage--"

Even though Yun Xianhe said he could come back and get them later, Kidd still planned to take the flowers away now.

The Phantom Thief leaped up holding a bunch of sunflowers in one hand, and the glider behind him instantly opened.

Yun Xianhe looked at the other party like a white bird flying away into the distance, and lowered his head to look at the pigeon in his hand.

"…I forgot to return this to the other party. If I just let it fly, you should be able to find your way back by yourself, right?"

"Cuckoo?"

Looking at the pigeon that was nestling in his hand and didn't want to leave at all, Yun Xianhe couldn't help but touched it again.

In his world, there are not many such primitive palm pets.

By the way, is this pigeon Kidd's pet or a magic prop?

After thinking for a while, the brave man decided to play with it for a while and then return it to the other party.

Well, just play for a while.

He also wants to raise one when he returns!
