Kaito?

Regarding this familiar pronunciation, Kudo subconsciously believed that the truth of what the other party said, "Black Feather is also his real name", was only half true, or that the scope of "real name" was limited to "Black Feather". Literally.It seems that this guy didn't intend to reveal his real name from the very beginning. Even this kind of self-introduction is just a supplement to his online identity.

"You really like solving puzzles." This may be an opportunity to start a topic, "It's okay if you don't want to say your original name, anyway, I don't care that much." It's just that the one in front of me does exist and even looks like my own in reality. The mirror image of "Black Feather" is surprising enough.

"Huh?" The other party obviously didn't know what he was talking about, "What does this have to do with solving puzzles?"

Is there a difference between expression and understanding... I thought in my heart that what I said just now should be more specific, and Kudo raised his own doubts. "Your name...isn't the Chinese character 'jieren'?"

The other party also gave him a look of "I don't understand what you are talking about at all".

From "Kaito" to "Jie Ren", this deviation is too outrageous!And why should they be "people from the world"?Is there any other background here?Thinking that his own thinking circuit might not be on the same plane as the detective, Hei Yu simply gave up guessing what kind of reasoning the other party went through to reach this conclusion.

It's faster to ask directly.

"Why do you say that?"

"I thought you knew?" An uncomfortable question, "Isn't there a genius boy named Damen Jieren who is super good at solving puzzles? Isn't your screen name a tribute to him?" Quite interested in solving puzzles The boy "Black Feather", who is interested in and never forgets to correct the name of the puzzler, will use the same name as his screen name to pay tribute to high-end people in the puzzle world, which is very logical.

Kuroba resisted the urge to roll his eyes in front of the "stranger" whom he had just met for 5 minutes.

What a stupid topic to start, detective.

To expose this seemingly ingenious method in person would only embarrass the other party, so Kuroba chose to deny it.

"That's not it," he spread his hands and shook his head, "the correct way to write it is—" After gesticulating for a long time, he couldn't make the detective who was confused before him understand how to write his name in Chinese characters, after all Compared with "Kudo Shinichi", the name of "Kuroba Kaito" is much inferior.Sighing, Kuroba directly took the other's hand and wrote his name on the palm of his hand.

Quick, fight.

"It's written like this," he let go of his hand, "it's not a 'world person', and it has nothing to do with that."

But the other party's expression didn't seem to understand at all.

The temperature of the human body came from the palm of the hand.The contact surface is only a very limited point, but you can actually feel the other party's fast-moving fingertips.

a little itchy.

Kudo didn't withdraw his hand.The momentary distraction prevented him from seeing clearly which two Chinese characters the other party wrote.

It can be touched, and has the body temperature of a normal human being...

It seems that this guy is indeed an entity with existence, a real person with an identity and a name.Knowing that this kind of exclamation is undoubtedly quite rude to anyone, Kudo smiled and buried it in his heart. "Understood, kai—to, that's how it's written, right?" Just repeating the pronunciation won't reveal any flaws, "Now that we've met each other, what are you going to do next?"

You asked me out, okay? !Shrugging, Kuroba said that he had no plans at all.

It should have been the responsibility of the inviter to plan everything before the event started, but since Kuroba decided on the meeting place, Kudo didn't do much research on the surrounding area before that.It's just a slight degree of marking all the possible areas within 40 minutes away.

The place Kuroba chose was fairly unremarkable, neither near a residential area nor a very popular shopping street.The moving crowd will not make the space so crowded that it is difficult to move an inch, nor will it be so empty and quiet that even three seconds of silence will be embarrassing.Random choice or intentional?Even if it moves from the game to reality, Kudo finds that the "game" can go on.

He looked around and saw that it wasn't a complete stranger.

"I know there is a good cafe nearby, within walking distance." He looked at Heiyu and asked for his opinion, "What do you think?"

"As you wish, let's go."

Agreed without any objection.

With the reason that "I haven't slept well recently, so I can't drink coffee", Kuroba chose to drink hot chocolate.Fully understanding the other party's difficulties, Kudo didn't say anything.

"What is this?" He just took a sip as if trying to taste it, and Hei Yu suddenly raised his head the next second when his sense of taste exploded, "It's super delicious!"

"So the storefront I recommended definitely didn't—"

"This is the first time I have tasted milk foam with this sweetness! And this caramel..." Like a professional food taster, Kuroba took another sip from the cup, "It seems that there is no way to coordinate the taste , surprisingly fit well."

The conversation was interrupted.Kudo looked at the other party's reaction noncommittally.Distinct personal preferences seem to be one of the elements that can enrich character settings.Will real people design their own image according to the model formed by the character?Reserving the question for now, he has not forgotten the original intention of meeting today.

"By the way, the monster I met on the three-sided map before." He changed the topic back to the game that he hadn't mentioned since the two met. "If you form a team to attack, how will you solve it?"

Kuroba immediately understood his question, and quickly figured out the result. "If there are two people, it will be easy." He put down the cup in his hand, and drew a frame on the table with his fingers, "We assume this is the map, and now the monster," the fingertip landed on a random point ,"it's here."

"Hmm..." Kudo, who was sitting opposite, felt that the upside-down perspective was too inconvenient, so he moved the seat to the same side as Kuroba, "You continue."

"I mainly attack from a distance, and it is more suitable for flanking from behind." Hei Yu drew out his own range of activities on the back of the map, "This is an effective attack range."

"I understand," Kudo nodded, "That is to say, if I mainly focus on melee physical attacks, my task is to guide the attacks and create a safe range?" He leaned forward and drew a diagonal line on the map , "Moreover, you have to reach the top corner within a limited time."

Huh, strange...

"That's right," Kuroba drew another diagonal line, "That skill value is too strong, and it's useless if it can't get out of the attack range. But I think..."

"Do you want to say that I can't do this with my operation?"

I seem……

"I didn't say that," Kuroba spread his hands, "If you don't do any attack, but simply move to the top corner, even a detective can do it."

"Are you disliking my operation? If you think it's in the way, you should go to kill monsters by yourself. I'll just watch from a safe corner."

"No, then I will definitely lead the attack range to your side."

"Are you kidding me, you don't look like someone who would do that kind of thing, Kuroba."

"Okay I admit I can't be an asshole."

I feel like...for such a purely game-centric discussion...

Enjoy it very much?

I have never experienced a similar conversation, either at school or with people close to me.He originally thought that after seeing Kuroba himself, the reality would quickly wash away the original freshness with its original boring appearance, but it doesn't seem to be the case now.The desire to explore continues unabated, and reality always seems to have the best drama ready, bursting with new surprises.

"Let me tell you, detective?" Hei Yu seemed to have suddenly realized something, and paused?

Kudo motioned for him to continue talking.

"I thought about it carefully," Kuroba's voice was quite shaken as he tapped his fingertips on the table, "That team formation strategy seems to be..."

He took a deep breath.

"Not feasible."
