The next morning, Suzuki Sonoko, to thank Hissashi for his previous heroic rescue of a beauty, ordered a carload of live fish and, after calling and asking Chi Feichei, had it delivered to the Fish Farm.
In the morning, Morizono Kikuto was discharged from the hospital. Chi Feichei was invited to the Senyuan Family for Dinner, and Morizono Kikuto gifted Hissashi another ten pounds of eel.
Morizono Yurie planned to go Overseas, and before leaving, she bought a lot of Small Live Fish for Hissashi again.
Chi Feichei saw Morizono Yurie off at the Airport and found a French Restaurant that was said to have a good taste, calling Kuroba Kaito to co out for Dinner.
When Kuroba Kaito arrived, he had a Box in his left hand and a Box in his right hand, with a layer of black cloth specially covering them.
Hissashi poked its head out to take a look, then shrank back. This kind of Box for aquatic products was very familiar. It had seen many today. At first, it was quite happy, but after receiving too much Fish, it was a bit boring. "It wouldn't be Fish again, would it?"
"No," Chi Feichei said, looking at the nu without raising his head. "Kaito is afraid of Fish, and even if he bought Fish, he wouldn't bring it over himself."
Hissashi then beca a little interested, hiding in Chi Feichei's Sleeve and muttering, "Actually, I think Small Loach is also good. I haven't eaten it in a long ti and miss it a bit."
Chi Feichei: "..."
Who was it that told him they never wanted to eat Small Loach again?
"You actually found a Three-Star Restaurant?" Kuroba Kaito asked after sitting down, placing the two Boxes on the table. After ordering and seeing that no one around was paying attention, he asked, "Is Hissashi here? I brought a Gift for it."
"The restaurant doesn't allow pets, so it's hiding." Chi Feichei explained.
Besides, Hissashi played gas until very late last night and was busy receiving Gifts early this morning. It's probably too lazy to move now.
"Alright, no one is paying attention over here," Kuroba Kaito said with a smile. "Hissashi, co out quickly."
Hissashi politely showed its head and lazily flicked its Snake Tongue.
"Long ti no see, guess what I brought you?" Kuroba Kaito said with a smile, revealing the Glass Tank for aquatic products below after uncovering the black cloth himself, but the Box was empty.
Hissashi imdiately looked up at Kuroba Kaito. Was he teasing it by bringing an empty Box?
Chi Feichei glanced at it and withdrew his gaze. Kuroba Kaito was really idle enough to perform Magic tricks on a Snake.
As Phantom Thief Kid, Kuroba Kaito had a polite deanor, but privately, in front of acquaintances, he was just a kid. This guy would develop Dissociative Identity Disorder sooner or later...
"Don't worry, watch carefully," Kuroba Kaito covered the black cloth again, picked it up again, revealing the Glass Tank filled with Loach, with a smile of successful Prank on his Face. Because Chi Feichei had ntioned to him that Hissashi didn't like to eat Small Loach, he specially bought and brought them. "Two Boxes of Loach, are you touched?"
Hissashi saw the Loach and contentedly shrank back into Chi Feichei's Sleeve. "Sigh, today's Luck is really good."
Chi Feichei: "..."
Even he felt that Hissashi's Luck was bursting today, whatever it thought of ca true...
"Actually not angry?" Kuroba Kaito was surprised and then asked Chi Feichei, "Is it Ill?"
"It's probably just sleepy," Chi Feichei said, looking at the Box. "Hissashi didn't sleep much last night and started receiving Gifts early this morning. The second young lady of the Suzuki family sent a carload of Live Fish. It's like an aquarium over there now, and it happens to want to eat Loach recently."
"Hissashi is so popular?" Kuroba Kaito was a little frustrated. "But it's too fickle. If you hate Loach, you should hate it to the end..."
"You can talk to it for ages, you're not much better." Chi Feichei directly pointed out. Kuroba Kaito and Hissashi definitely had a Friendship that transcended species.
Kuroba Kaito smiled, not denying it, and turned to whisper to Chi Feichei about Disguise Layering. "Disguise Layering needs to solve two problems: first, the thickness of Disguise Materials, and second, a Barrier Layer suitable for separating two layers of Disguise. I found a discontinued Costics product that would definitely be disfiguring if used on a human Face, but if used as a Barrier Layer for a Disguise Mask, it can almost achieve the effect you want. I want to try to recreate the Components and mix various Colors."
"I have a thod to deal with the thickness of Materials. Abandon plastic filling, use Plant decoction and extraction, which can make a Fake Face that is very thin, easy to shape, and stable enough after shaping," Chi Feichei thought for a mont. "However, the specific Recipe and Ratio still needs to be tested."
Kuroba Kaito nodded. "Then we'll each be responsible for one aspect and find a Ti later to see if we can combine them!"
Not far away, Terai Kiichirou, Assistant sat against the wall, holding up a Newspaper to block his Face, pretending to read the Newspaper while secretly observing the Situation over there, with an 'as expected' expression on his Face.
Regarding Master Kaito's Elder Brother, he had asked indirectly and directly, but Master Kaito denied it every ti.
He secretly went to School to ask Koizumi Akako, but Koizumi Akako actually changed her tune and said it was just a Prank.
But was he that easily fooled?
He asked Master Kaito's Teacher and confird that Master Kaito had indeed admitted the other person was his Elder Brother when he went out that day!
Moreover, since Master Kaito went out for a while with Old Master Toichi's Notes, and after returning, he often contacted soone. He inadvertently overheard the two talking on the Phone. Master Kaito even told the other person about Disguise and scouting for Jewel heists. It seed the other person already knew about Phantom Thief Kid.
What saddened him was that he had already promised not to tell Madam, but Master Kaito still seed to distrust him. Never mind the constant denials, it was clear the two brothers had such a good Relationship, yet they still had to hide it from him and et secretly outside.
"Sigh..." Terai Kiichirou, Assistant sighed.
A waiter approached, "Sir..."
"I'm alright." Terai Kiichirou, Assistant looked wistful.
"No, I wanted to point out that your Newspaper is upside down," the waiter said with a smile. "It makes it easy for people to see through your Disguise."
"Cough, thank you." Terai Kiichirou, Assistant felt a little embarrassed and flipped the Newspaper around.
Is the service here always this good?
"Excuse ... what do you think the Relationship is between the two Guests at table five?"
"Huh?" The waiter didn't expect Terai Kiichirou, Assistant to ask that and turned his head in confusion to look over.
The two Guests at table five didn't look too far apart in age, probably only two or three years difference.
One of them, judging by his height and attire, was still a High School Student, leaning back in his chair with ease as they talked and laughed, clearly a sunny, slightly childish young man.
The other was half a head taller and probably a bit older. Though still young, he sat ramrod straight, and when he spoke, his expression was calm and composed. He seed like a calm and collected person.
"Brothers, maybe?" the waiter guessed. "Two or three years older, they seem to have very different Personalities, but the Atmosphere is very harmonious. It's more likely they're brothers. Besides, in a formal French Cuisine restaurant like this, it's rare for two guys to et for a al. If they were close Friends, they'd probably pick a place with a more lively and relaxed Atmosphere. But if they're brothers, especially with an older, more serious brother, coming here wouldn't be strange."
"You can tell at a glance!" Terai Kiichirou, Assistant sighed.
The waiter thought he had guessed right and smiled. "Yes, their Emotion seems very good."
Terai Kiichirou, Assistant nodded in relief, got up to pay and leave. Since they didn't want to tell him, he wouldn't pry. He'd just pretend he didn't know from now on.
