The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"Eat slowly, there are still a lot of sushi on the table." Watching Kitagawa Yusuke quickly stuffing a piece of sushi into his stomach with his chin, Suzuki Sonoko advised, and then sighed, "If you live in the school dormitory, it's better to It’s quite inconvenient, in all aspects of life.”

"Actually, the conditions are not bad." Looking away from the plate, Tang Ze followed the prepared background and continued, "If you live on campus, you can use the school's studio all day long, and the expenses such as water and electricity are not too much."

"Do you only study painting in school? There are no other teachers?" Mao Lilan, who was happily eating a small cake, said in surprise, "Then, Kitagawa-kun, how did you do it when you were a child..."

It would not be so pleasant to continue talking from now on, so she silently stopped talking as she had read a lot of psychology books recently.

After all, art such as painting is a subject that you can only have the energy to touch after having enough food and clothing. Generally, unless there are special circumstances, a child from a truly poor family will rarely devote himself to this industry wholeheartedly.

After all, as Kitagawa Yusuke himself mentioned, it is really too expensive. Even if he enters a high school with a specialized department as a special admissions student and has given him enough preferential policies, its cost is still beyond what a minor can afford. burdensome.

If you use your free time to work part-time, you may be able to earn enough for basic living expenses. However, the school's subsidies and scholarships are linked to awards and achievements. If you distract yourself to make money, you may not be able to maintain your current reputation, and you may not even be able to study. It’s all gone.

It should be said that learning to paint is not a direction that Kitagawa Yusuke’s family environment can afford.

Facing the different looks of the three people, Tang Ze put down the plate in his hand slightly, and his expression became lowered: "...You are right, I should not choose such a difficult path. I have been taught by a man since I was a child. He was adopted and raised by a painter. Some time ago, the teacher plagiarized his students' works, which led to some serious consequences. Some students even chose to commit suicide because they felt that their future was hopeless. I also found out... Well, in any case, he was arrested and imprisoned. .I also moved into the school dormitory.”

"Ah..." Realizing that she had asked a very painful topic, Mao Lilan covered her mouth, exchanged bewildered looks with the other two, and did not dare to continue speaking.

Although this kind of development does not seem to be uncommon in Yoneka Town, the common occurrence does not mean that the victims can feel less pain. The suffering they suffered has actually happened.

"It's okay, I don't mind talking about this. I'm doing pretty well myself, and I feel that my creations have improved." Seeing the expressions of the others at the table, Tangze quickly smiled and picked up a piece of bread again, "The work itself , is the epitome of the author's life and thinking. Although I don't fully agree with Professor Moritani's other ideas, I do agree that the work is a miracle that reflects thinking into reality."

Conan, who was chewing a piece of croissant without any taste and was thinking about things related to his birthday, couldn't help but look at Kitagawa Yusuke across the table in a strange way when he heard these words.

This sentence, regarding the relationship between reality and spirit, sounds like an inexplicable sense of déjà vu...

After briefly explaining the identity and background of this vest, Tang Ze stuffed bread into his mouth and silently thought about what else he could add.

The only time Kitagawa Yusuke appeared was to get in touch with Asako Miyoshi, a disciple of Kujumotoyasu and his murderer. At that time, he had already revealed that his teacher had plagiarized and even killed his mother. , used to persuade Miyoshi Mazi to change his mentality.

Although the people related to these cases in Ke Xue's background are inexplicably very martial-arts, all those who have more or less suspected his relationship with the Phantom Thief of the Heart have invariably remained tight-lipped. Until today, no news has come out. But since I’ve told others about this background, I’d better not do anything inconsistent and stick to the character design faithfully.

Therefore, even though there is no such character as Madarame in this world, he still told the background story and blurred the identity of the teacher, making people think that he might be a little-known ordinary painter, that's all.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was politely silent for a moment because of the sad atmosphere, carefully considered the other party's words, and suddenly her eyes lit up as she thought about it.

"So, you had been living with the painter who adopted you, and you didn't move to school until after the accident?" Suzuki Sonoko confirmed.

"Yes, it wasn't long before I moved to the school dormitory." Karasawa nodded smoothly, setting the timeline not long after the end of Madarame Hall.

"Then what are you going to do during the holidays? In many schools, the dormitories are closed during the long holidays, so wouldn't there be no place to live?" Suzuki Sonoko's map of the Yan Kingdom was obviously not long, just two sentences. Her intentions had been revealed.

In this case, considering Kitagawa Yusuke's situation, it is only natural that he would be homeless during the holidays and need to be taken in.

Does the Suzuki family still need one more room? With a small expenditure, you can exchange for a handsome guy that you can see frequently throughout the long vacation, and maybe even take him out to run around. It is a cost-effective thing no matter how you calculate it.

"It's vacation. I should stay at a friend's house. His house is quite big." Tangze said thoughtfully.

This refers to the base of the Phantom Thieves of Heart, and I would like to give a brief summary of the possible encounters that may occur in the future.

"That's it..." Suzuki Sonoko nodded and put away her thoughts with a look of pity on her face.

Sure enough, a handsome guy, even if he has a strange personality, will never lack friends. She should have thought of this problem.

Hey, hey, your purpose is too obvious, please calm down your expression, Sonoko...

Mao Lilan, who knew her plan very well, quickly changed the subject in order to prevent her from making an even more outrageous statement next: "Then it seems like a good thing that you can get to know Professor Moritani Teiji. With his guidance, it should be better than before. Feeling better?"

"Ah, this." Tangze, who was finally full, picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth, and said slowly, "Actually, I don't know either."

"Eh? But Professor Moritani seems to admire you very much." Suzuki Sonoko was a little surprised, "You said at the salon that you met him at his exhibition..."

"Yeah, actually I don't know why Professor Moritani invited me to the tea party." After posing in a thoughtful pose, Karasawa pondered, "I don't think I said anything, right? I just chatted with people at the exhibition. .”

"...What did you talk about?" Conan, who felt a little bit of Kitagawa Yusuke's KY nature, asked subtly.

Under what conditions would a person be invited by the owner of a work exhibition to his or her own event?

Considering that Kitagawa Yusuke is just an ordinary visitor, it is impossible to show his paintings to Moritani Teiji on the spot. Of course, showing them may not touch the other person's heart. After all, architectural design is an engineering major.

If we don't have a good conversation and have similar interests, the only possibility left seems to be that we have grasped something...

"Oh, a visitor at the exhibition asked me to talk about Professor Moritani's design philosophy, saying that his level of design has declined since he was too obsessed with symmetrical design. After hearing what he said, Professor Moritani quarreled with him." Karasawa said bluntly. Explained, "I think what he said is correct, but Professor Moritani Teiji has solid basic skills, so even within a symmetrical framework, the design work has its own style and understanding, so it is not without merit."
