Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

However, before Kaito Kuroba could stop him, his throat suddenly itched and he suddenly started coughing.

Kaito Kuroba always felt that he was quite lucky, as he always managed to escape danger whenever he encountered it.

But he doesn't think that way anymore.

Why make him cough now when his throat is perfectly fine, even though it doesn't itch in the morning or evening? Isn't this just messing with him?

Ginzo Nakamori's finger finally landed on the dial button, and Kaito Kuroba immediately pulled out his phone from his pocket and threw it at Ginzo Nakamori the moment he looked at it.

However, the next second, Kaito Kuroba suddenly regretted it.

Because he was really lucky.

"Huh? Who is Kaito talking to on the phone?"

Upon hearing the voice prompt indicating that a call was in progress, Nakamori Ginzo scratched his head in confusion, then stood up and spoke to Kuroba Kaito.

"Kaito Kid, why don't you wait here a little longer? I'll go out and look for him."

"Cough cough, no, no problem."

Seeing Nakamori Ginzo leave the room, Kuroba Kaito let out a long sigh of relief and took a big gulp of his drink.

Feeling the strange sensation in his throat, Kaito Kuroba now understood why he had been itchy.

Perhaps the beverage irritated her throat?

buzz-

The phone that had been thrown away nearby was vibrating and buzzing. Kaito Kuroba glanced at the phone and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Oh my holy sword!

Well, he still had to thank the person who called him, no matter what.

Kaito Kuroba moved over to the phone and picked it up. Fortunately, only the outer screen was slightly broken, so it wasn't a big problem.

The incoming call displayed on the phone screen is from Koizumi Akako.

Lord Hongzi, I am eternally grateful for your life-saving grace.

"Hey."

Before Kuroba Kaito could even thank her, Koizumi Akako's stern voice reached his ears.

"Kaito Kuroba, what exactly did you say to Aoko Nakamori?"

Hearing the other party's angry tone, Kaito Kuroba was suddenly a little confused.

How did she know that I had called Nakamori Aoko? Could it be that Koizumi Akako was eavesdropping next to Nakamori Aoko at the time?

Kaito Kuroba said, somewhat bewildered.

"Huh? What? I didn't say anything!"

"you sure?"

Koizumi Akako frowned on the other end of the phone.

“Tell me what you said to Nakamori Aoko back then.”

"Forehead."

Although he didn't know what Koizumi Akako was up to, Kuroba Kaito hesitated for a moment before repeating what he had said to his childhood friend in a different way.

"I just told her to take good care of herself from now on, to eat on time, and to remember to take her medicine when she's sick, and to take good care of herself on her own... It was just normal concern, right?"

Koizumi Akako frowned; at first glance, it seemed she was genuinely just concerned about her friend.

"...Then why did Nakamori Aoko tell me that what you said sounded like your last words?"

"Uh, is it?"

Kaito Kuroba blinked. He had been laughing when he was on the phone with Aoko Nakamori, and she actually caught him talking?

Is it that obvious...? No, I don't think I've ever said these things to her much before.

"What exactly happened to you? Weren't you on that airship?"

Upon hearing Koizumi Akako's words, Kuroba Kaito stood up, picked up the scattered chips on the table, and began to build a pyramid again, explaining with a rather helpless tone.

"You know I'm on a spaceship, right? You should have seen the news too, there's a virus on board."

"Now we are all infected, and the chances of survival are slim."

"So what exactly were you doing on that ship? Why were you making such a big fuss?"

Kaito Kuroba rolled his eyes as he stared at his phone screen.

"What do you mean by 'what am I doing'? I'm telling you I'm about to die."

Koizumi Akako's expression grew increasingly strange, and then she slowly spoke.

"But I didn't see any sign of bloodshed on your image in the crystal ball."

"..."

"what?"

Three questioning voices rang out simultaneously, at the same time, but in different locations.

"Is it possible to play without banning this magician? Her divination is so outrageous?"

In the viewing room, Qi Ming stared strangely at Kaito Kuroba's phone.

He now seriously suspects that the skill book Koizumi Akako gave him actually concealed his true abilities.

Ai Haibara also had the illusion that Akako Koizumi was actually holding the script.

Are you sure you're not joking?

Kaito Kuroba stared blankly for a moment, then raised his voice excitedly.

“I thought you were joking… I originally thought you had come up with a way to steal the gems and that’s why you made such a big fuss.”

"...Am I crazy? If I'm creating panic, even if I really wanted to cause trouble, I wouldn't drive all the audience away, would I?"

Kaito Kuroba said irritably, though his pounding heart had calmed down a bit.

If Koizumi Akako said there would be no bloodshed, then there definitely wouldn't be.

"So, the virus is actually fake?"

“I’m not with you either, so I don’t know the specifics, but at least you’re not in any bloodshed.”

Having received Koizumi Akako's affirmation once again, Kuroba Kaito realized this in his heart.

He felt like he was being played, no, it was as if everyone on the spaceship was being played.

But what's with his cough now?

Could it be that Qi Ming will actually save him later, but the virus is real?

However, after Kuroba Kaito explained his symptoms to Koizumi Akako, the latter remained silent for a while and then said something strange.

"You mean your throat is itchy, your head is a little dizzy, and your voice is nasal and muffled?"

"Yes."

"Isn't that just a cold?"

"...makes sense."

Kaito Kuroba immediately understood.

Wearing a thin tuxedo and flying around in the sky all day, how could he not catch a cold?

It's because he was too prejudiced.

Because several people vomited blood before, and then others developed symptoms, when I coughed, I mistakenly thought that my current condition was also a symptom of that virus.

Kaito Kuroba glanced at the drinks on the table and then at the beer he had only taken a sip of.

He absolutely needs a bite now.

"puff!"

Then, unsurprisingly, he spat out the wine he had in his mouth.

Nevertheless, the residual alcohol in his mouth caused Kaito Kuroba's face to turn somewhat rosy.

"I feel like my IQ isn't that high either. No, in the end it's still my fault for believing that awful guy."

"what are you saying?"

Kaito Kuroba shouted loudly.

"It's that monster; he deceived us all."
