Conan: After teaching the protagonist, they offered their loyalty.

on the deck.

Kaito Kid sat on the deck, trembling all over.

Gone was his former elegance; his nose was constantly running, and he looked like a homeless person.

He hadn't even had time to equip his gear yet because he was trying to find Shen'erge.

But to everyone's surprise, Brother Shen directly woke up Conan, that famous steamed egg.

Then came a chase and some playful fighting... He really didn't understand where that kid got his high-tech equipment from; it was almost identical to his own.

Just as he was about to unfold his hang glider and fly away, a soccer ball hit the hang glider directly... and he fell into the sea.

"Damn it, despicable, shameless... that bastard!" Kuroba Kaito tightened his soaked clothes, sniffed, and said, "He seems calm and collected on the surface, but he's actually just like that woman Koizumi, ruthlessly cunning..."

He finally knew who Shen'er was.

He simply mistakenly thought that Shen and Conan were doing something strange.

That's how the other person treated him...

Even if there is a misunderstanding, it can be clearly explained by the two people communicating.

They insisted on treating him this way, which led to his current miserable state.

That despicable Shen Er, he would never pay any more attention to him again.

Splash...

The door is opened.

"Why are you here all alone?" A detached, deep voice came from inside.

Kaito Kuroba looked up and saw Jinji Fubuki walking towards him with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He almost burst into tears. "You, you...you're such a bastard!"

He wanted to ask why he was so late, but remembering his earlier vow not to pay any attention to Shen Er, he simply turned away after saying that.

"Are you angry?" Fuheshen asked calmly.

"No..." Kaito Kuroba's voice was very soft as he sat on the deck, hugging his legs and refusing to look at the other person.

Suddenly remembering something, Fukuro Jin took off his coat and handed it to Kuroba Kaito, saying, "It's cold at night, don't catch a cold."

Just now, Conan jumped up and grabbed his coat, wiping his snot and tears all over it, which he found a bit disgusting.

On the other hand, it was out of kindness, fearing that Kaito Kuroba would catch a cold.

"I know, I understand." Kaito Kuroba glanced at Shinobu Fushiguro, who was only wearing a tight-fitting short-sleeved shirt, took the jacket, and put it on.

The coat was large enough to cover his entire body.

The sea breeze was cold and icy at night... but at that moment, Kaito Kuroba's heart was warm and full of warmth.

He shouldn't have been so angry with Shen Ge...

Shen Ge probably didn't wake Conan up to get revenge on him.

The real reason lies in that steamed egg.

Shen'erge must already know the other party's true identity and understand that he is a difficult opponent.

He must have had no choice but to wake Conan up in order to clear himself and Shen Ge of suspicion, right?

So, it's all that steamed egg's fault; otherwise, I wouldn't be in this situation.

“I’ve already found a lifeboat.” Fuhesh flicked some cigarette ash at Kaito’s head. “The cruise ship will be docking soon, I’ll take you home in a bit.”

"Achoo... Oh." Kaito Kuroba sneezed, snorted back, and secretly glanced at Jinji Fukuro.

His sharply defined face was cold, but his tone was full of concern.

Seriously... if you care about yourself, at least show some concern for yourself.

She clearly wanted to help him, but she insisted on pretending to be indifferent.

I've already planned everything out...

........

After the lifeboat docked.

Fukuro Jinji brought Kuroba Kaito to his car.

Kaito Kuroba was just about to open the back seat and get in...

"Take off your clothes," came Fuheshchen's voice.

Kaito Kuroba's gaze instantly turned strange as he surveyed his surroundings.

Because it was nighttime and the area was near the suburbs.

Would Shen Ge really do something to me?

"Your clothes are soaked." Fuheishen opened the driver's seat, sat down, and glanced at the rearview mirror. "Don't worry, there's no one around..."

Kaito Kuroba hesitated for a moment, then quickly took off his soaking wet clothes, put them in the trunk, and got into the car.

“I didn’t expect that.” Fuhejin looked at the thin Kaito Kuroba in the rearview mirror. “With a body like that, his agility is still very high.”

He saw Kaito Kuroba dodging Conan's tranquilizer dart on the deck.

Goodness, his whole body was clean and white, just like an ordinary high school student, without any signs of training.

He racked his brains but couldn't figure out where he got the agility to dodge.

"Of course, hehe, achoo..." Kaito Kuroba rubbed his red nose and tightened his coat. "I'm Kaito Kid, you know."

"What happened to your leg?" Fuheishener frowned slightly.

From the very beginning... Kaito Kuroba walked with a trembling gait, as if he had been penetrated.

"It's all because..." Kaito Kuroba looked at Jinji Fukuro with resentment, "because that brat kicked me into the sea with a soccer ball, and my leg got scratched by a fish."

When the topic of fish came up, a look of fear clearly flashed in Kaito Kuroba's eyes.

Just thinking about the scene back then, it was like hell...

If I hadn't been able to swim and hadn't had a grappling hook, I would have been finished!

That damn Conan! He'll definitely retaliate next time!

"By the way, Brother Shen, why did you say 'Magic Man of Light' when we were giving the code?" Kaito Kuroba asked, somewhat puzzled.

He had heard Koizumi mention the "Magic Man of Light" before, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.

But when he heard Shen'erge say the word, he became curious.

“A description of Conan.” Fukushiro tapped the steering wheel lightly with his finger. “A demon trapped in the mire, always thinking himself to be the light, but unaware that he himself is the symbol of calamity and death.”

"..." Kaito Kuroba seemed to be deep in thought.

That's true... what a load of rubbish!

I thought I'd hear some philosophical insights, but it turned out to be just nonsense, completely unscientific.

Symbols of calamity and death—aren't those just things that appear in mythology?

Forget it, considering how Shen'erge treated him, he didn't argue back.

Since Ekoda is not far from the cruise ship's departure point, it took less than forty minutes to get there.

Fukuro Jinji brought the car to a steady stop in front of Kuroba Kaito's mansion.

Then, he went up and knocked on the door.

After a while, Kaito Kuroba's butler, Professor Agasa's close friend, Terai Kinosuke, came out.

"Oh, it's Mr. Fushiguro," Terai Kinosuke said with a smile. "The young master isn't home right now..."

Today is the day the young master goes to steal the Dark Star.

But... according to his friends at the party, Kaito Kid didn't show up at all.

So, the young master should still be on the cruise ship.
