"I know, even if I catch you and take you to the tropolitan Police Departnt, your Assistant Terai Kiichirou, Assistant can use the na 'Kaito Kid' to pull off a successful theft performance, clearing your Suspicion." Chi Feichi glanced at Kuroba Kaito.
This was an International Thief with a Bounty higher than Numabuchi Kiichiro. Even if he hadn't killed anyone, his repeated provocations of the police and international fa were enough for so wealthy individuals to put a Bounty on his head.
Soone this valuable… he had naturally considered the possibility of capturing Kuroba Kaito and selling him for money…
Kuroba Kaito felt a chill from Chi Feichi's gaze. That look was like a rchant appraising goods for purchase. It must be his imagination. "Cough, since you know threats are useless…"
"However, even if you have a way to clear your Suspicion, being suspected and investigated is always a Trouble," Chi Feichi calmly stated the pros and cons. "As long as you cooperate with , if you encounter Trouble in the future, I can give you a hand, consider it a Reward."
Kuroba Kaito seriously considered it. On one hand, having more Friends ant more options, and on the other, inviting Trouble upon himself. The choice was obvious. "Okay, then we'll keep Confidentiality between us. By the way, why do you want to learn Disguise Technique?"
"Because I need to use it," Chi Feichi replied.
Kuroba Kaito was stunned.
Why learn it? Because he needs to use it…
This answer seed to make sense.
If he didn't need it, of course, he wouldn't go to such lengths to find an opportunity to learn it…
Wait!
His original intention was to ask what he planned to use Disguise Technique for after learning it, damn it!
"You…" Kuroba Kaito stared at Chi Feichi for three seconds. "Right, what's your Real Na?"
Chi Feichi: "Chi Feichi."
Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath, feeling like all his previous Emotion had been worn away, and weakly complained, "When eting soone for the first ti, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"
Chi Feichi: "Sorry, I'll try to in the future."
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
Try to in the future?
Could it be that this guy never introduced himself before? And might not in the future either?
What a weirdo!
Chi Feichi did recall for a mont. He really didn't introduce himself often.
In his previous life, he spent most of his Ti at Martial Arts School. Everyone knew each other, and they had known each other for years.
Later, he beca a Bounty Hunter. The Employer knew he was 'July'. He just needed to complete the Bounty and get paid. For the Goal, it wasn't necessary to say 'I am July, I'm here to catch you and sell you for money' first. Wouldn't it be better to save Ti and quickly catch them and sell them for money?
Self-introduction, or saying his Real Na or sothing… He really wasn't used to it.
…
After leaving School, Chi Feichi had Mamiya Mitsuru drive them to Kuroba Kaito's House.
Kuroba Kaito went ho alone and noticed that Chi Feichi didn't intend to follow him. His original thought of using so Gadget to counterattack faded.
Although the other party had threatened him, it didn't seem like he was restricting his Action, just wanting to learn Disguise Technique.
Of course, Gadget still had to be brought. In addition to the Things needed for Disguise Technique and so Notes left by his Old Master, he also brought other Gadget along, just in case sothing happened and he couldn't defend himself.
Counterattacking was unnecessary, but being constantly suppressed by that guy felt very unpleasant. He had to get back at him sohow…
Terai Kiichirou, Assistant followed him around, "Young Master, is there so important Action? Why did you rush back from School? Did you discover so Jewel that's difficult to handle and need to prepare in advance?"
Kuroba Kaito snapped out of his thoughts, rembering that he had promised the other party not to reveal anything about learning Disguise Technique. He also decided to keep his Promise. "It's nothing, just sothing I need to go out for."
"Do you need my Assistance?" Terai Kiichirou, Assistant asked.
"No need. If the Teacher calls ho, just Handle it for ," Kuroba Kaito waved his hand, slung a backpack over his shoulder, and headed out.
Bang!
The door closed.
"Sigh…"
Terai Kiichirou, Assistant swallowed back the rest of his words and sat back on the Sofa, pondering.
Master Kaito had specifically rushed back from School and packed so many Things. It must be sothing important.
Could it be that Master Kaito thought his Ability wasn't good enough, so he didn't bring him along?
His Ability was clearly not weak either. Bringing him along would be Assistance, right?
Also, why did he specifically bring the Notes left by Old Master Toichi?
Could it be that Master Kaito found an important Clue about Old Master Toichi's disappearance in the Notes?
Not bringing him along, did he really think he couldn't be of any help…?
While Terai Kiichirou, Assistant was doubting himself and his expression grew more serious, the Phone Call rang.
The call was from Kuroba Kaito's Teacher.
"Hello, hello… What? Elder Brother?" Terai Kiichirou, Assistant's composed expression, which he had prepared, blanked out.
"Yes," the person on the call said, puzzled. "I asked the person on duty at the Entrance, and indeed a Young Man ca to School looking for Kuroba student, claiming to be his older brother. I told Kuroba student, and Kuroba student went over. Later, Koizumi Akako student ca back and said Kuroba student was going out with his older brother for a trip, and asked him to help request a leave of absence for a while. I've never heard of Kuroba student having an older brother, so I called to ask…"
Terai Kiichirou, Assistant's mind raced.
Master Kaito's older brother?
He had followed Old Master Toichi before, and then taken care of Master Kaito for so many years. He was certain Old Master Toichi only had one son, but was what he knew really everything…?
Master Kaito seed to voluntarily go to see the other party, and also voluntarily left with him. If he had been coerced, he would have counterattacked long ago.
In other words, Master Kaito acknowledged this Relationship?
Plus, he took the Notes left by Old Master Toichi, and Master Kaito was keeping Confidentiality from him…
Hiss… He seed to have discovered sothing extraordinary.
Thinking carefully, Old Master Toichi, as the first Phantom Thief Kid, had wandered around in his early years. If he wasn't careful… having another son wasn't impossible!
Then, Master Kaito leaving mysteriously this ti made sense.
It must be that Master Kaito learned about this and planned to bring the Things left by Old Master Toichi to his older brother to take a look. This was an important matter of Legacy…
"Hello, are you listening?"
The question from the call pulled Terai Kiichirou, Assistant back to his wandering thoughts. "Ah, I'm listening. They do have important Things to do."
"Then, about Kuroba student's older brother…"
"This… Master Kaito doesn't have any brothers publicly, but… in short… this matter is quite complicated to explain. I hope Teacher can help keep Confidentiality for now."
"Uh… I roughly understand. Don't worry, I just wanted to confirm if Kuroba student really had important Things to do. Hmm… now it looks really important. I won't say anything."
Hanging up the call, Terai Kiichirou, Assistant's expression was complicated.
If Madam heard about this, he didn't know how sad she would be. Master Kaito probably considered this too, which is why he didn't say it clearly, right…?
Although he felt a bit sorry for Madam, he had to stand on Old Master Toichi and Master Kaito's side.
He had no Clue how to solve this matter in the future.
Sigh, my life is too hard…
…
"Ah-choo!"
Sitting in the car, Kuroba Kaito sneezed. Why did he have a feeling that sothing was wrong?
Then he put aside this inexplicable feeling and looked at the mountain forest outside the car window.
"People actually live in this kind of Deep Mountain?"
Silence in the car.
Chi Feichi didn't think there was anything to respond to in that sentence.
Mamiya Mitsuru was thinking about other Things. Chi Shinnosuke had called to ask him to pick up a distant relative he had never t before. Originally, because the other party was a wealthy businessman, he had agreed. Taking care of a person for a while was not Trouble.
Moreover, he heard that the thinking of ntal Hospital patients was very peculiar. Maybe he could find the key to the puzzle left by his father-in-law in the Castle from another perspective.
However, bringing back one more person, he didn't know if it was good or bad…
Seeing that no one responded, Kuroba Kaito was a little speechless. He glanced at the silent Chi Feichi and gave up the idea of provoking Chi Feichi with a few words.
Forget it. He had also heard on the way that this guy seed to have just co out of the ntal Hospital, with a bunch of Illnesses like Dissociative Identity Disorder and Ti Perception Disorder. It was understandable that he was a bit strange…
"Uncle Mamiya, are we going to live in so Cabin next?"
"No…" Mamiya Mitsuru was about to explain when he saw the Castle at the end of his sight. "We've arrived. You won't be disappointed!"
As the car drove closer, Kuroba Kaito also saw clearly the Castle building standing in the forest. Although as Phantom Thief Kid, he had seen a lot, when he saw this ancient Castle, his eyes still lit up. "A Castle…"
Chi Feichi saw from the openwork iron fence at the Entrance, the Lawn in the Courtyard that was trimd like a Chessboard, and the huge International Chess sculptures standing on the Lawn. Instantly, he had no expectations.
Before, he had only looked at Mamiya Mitsuru, and he hadn't realized that the other party was a character that appeared in the Plot. Combining it with this Castle, he rembered, it seed to be the Blue Castle incident that appeared in the Conan Plot…
The Gardener opened the Entrance, and the car drove in.
"Such strange sculptures!" Kuroba Kaito also saw those strange standing Chess sculptures. After getting out of the car, he walked straight over.
"Ah, that is…"
Before Mamiya Mitsuru could finish speaking, Kuroba Kaito had already fallen headfirst to the ground: "..."
Chi Feichi was stunned for a mont, walked forward, squatted down, checked Kuroba Kaito's breath, and said calmly, "It's okay, he's still alive."
Mamiya Mitsuru: "..."
The Gardener who rushed over: "..."
Kuroba Kaito who just faintly opened his eyes: "..."
Did he have to say it so terribly? He just felt that he had no strength in his whole body!
Given that Kuroba Kaito had difficulty moving on his own, the Gardener and Mamiya Mitsuru took him to the Room.
"I'll go find a Doctor. It will take about half an hour to get here!" Mamiya Mitsuru's face was full of righteousness, but in reality, he was helpless in his heart. He had been driving all morning, and he wanted to rest…
However, the location of the Castle was really remote. To find a Doctor, he could only drive to find one.
Kuroba Kaito lay on the bed, feeling that the future was full of hardships. "Half an hour… Living in such a remote place and not preparing a Doctor. How do people in your family usually get through Illness?"
The Gardener uncle scratched his head. "Sorry, we haven't had any serious Illnesses. Although Grand Madam is old, but apart from Dentia, her body is still pretty good. Usually, for colds, we just take so Cold dicine that is always stocked in the Castle."
Kuroba Kaito was speechless and looked at the ceiling. In other words, was his body not good…?
"Do you have a Stethoscope and a Thermoter?" Chi Feichi turned his head and said to Mamiya Mitsuru who was about to go out, "If you do, I can help him take a look."
