In a ward of Kubado Central Hospital, a pair of childhood sweethearts were arguing fiercely.

"Idiot! How can someone give lilies when they visit patients!"

If you listen carefully, the boy and girl speak with a Kansai dialect.

Jia Liang stopped knocking on the door, and took Phil to hide behind the door.

"Aren't you going in?"

"If I'm not wrong, Ms. Toyama should--"

He Ye pulled Xiaolan out of the ward angrily, completely missing Jialiang and Phil behind the door.

"Wow... Kansai people are even more violent than I thought."

"That's prejudice, only that guy always has this attitude~"

Hattori, who found Jialiang at the entrance of the hospital, came out and retorted.

"Wow, it's so dark. Could it be that you have become refined from carbon?"

Facing Phil's merciless complaints, Hattori's face darkened once again.

"My skin color is inherited from my father!"

Worried that Hattori's shout would call Heye back, Jialiang dragged Phil into the ward in a hurry.

While camping, he was involved in a treasure hunt. Conan, who was shot in the abdomen, lay flat on the hospital bed, looking at the two with serious expressions.

"Is your body better? This is longan. If you make tea with red dates and lotus seeds, it will nourish the heart and blood."

Although the great detective also lost a lot of blood, the longan was mainly bought for Xiaolan.After hearing that she had given Conan a blood transfusion with certainty, Jialiang guessed her little thoughts.

This is her, notice it.

Before Chuya revealed this shocking fact, Jialiang had indeed guessed Conan's identity, but he couldn't come up with a reason to "hide it from Xiaolan".That day in the elevator of the Tokyo Tower, Chuya confided the conjectured facts, and after receiving Conan's affirmation, she also understood his thoughts a little bit.

It's a touching courage to want to protect a loved one from that winery.

He's just a high school student.

"That guy didn't come."

"Chuya was processing documents at home, and he said he had nothing to say with Kudo-kun."

After knowing Conan's true identity, Jialiang stopped talking to him like a child, and changed his address back to "Kudo-kun".

"What does his boss think about letting that kind of human weapon handle documents?"

"Don't put it that way, Chuya is actually very talented in literature. He even recited a poem two days ago."

Although the content of the poem is much more difficult to understand than Neruda's, and I don't seem to know which nerve was connected to the brain to sing it.

"Morning hazy

Suddenly there was a wind.

thousands of angels

play basketball. "

There seems to be more behind it, but Jialiang didn't remember it, and only after this passage appeared twice did he barely remember it.

"He must have drunk too much. Angels play basketball... Although the classification of modern poetry is no longer rigid in fixed forms, this kind of Japanese style poetry is mixed with foreign words. Is he from the Showa era?"

Kansai dialect likes to be mixed with various onomatopoeias. It took Hattori a long time to understand what he meant even though it took Jialiang a long time to reflect.

"Hattori-kun, I just came back from Italy not long ago, can you speak slower."

Conan rolled his eyes.Purebred Japanese talents can’t understand Kansai dialect after two years in Italy?This is obviously taking care of the blonde girl next to her.But such dazzling blond hair is rare even in Europe, and he has almost figured out the identities of Chuya and Jialiang, but he can't find out about Phil.

"So, you deliberately even informed me in place, and even agreed on a time to meet. What exactly do you want to do?"

"This is..."

Conan told the three people about his current situation in detail.

"Since she knows everything, let's tell her the truth. The longer this time drags on, the more she will be hurt."

Jialiang also agreed with Hattori's opinion, and Conan turned his hope to Phil again.

"...I think we still have to find a way to get over it."

"Phil?"

Phil stops Jialiang.Of course she knows what Conan is worried about. "The exposure of her identity will involve her and her family" is pure nonsense. She still knows the way the winery works. "Anyone with a relationship will be silenced, and even Jialiang will be included in their blacklist.Therefore, it is safer for Xiaolan to realize that she may be in danger as soon as possible, and to keep vigilant at all times. Although the favorability of her childhood sweetheart will decline to a certain extent, it is better than losing her life inexplicably.

She understands all this, but still disagrees.

"The reason I object is - you two are still underage! Do high school students live together because they want to graduate and have children!"

Jia Liang awkwardly pressed Phil who was furious.

"In short, this is a matter between the two of you. If you need my help, just mention it."

In any case, Conan still helped to fool Chuya into the Tokyo Tower last time, and then in exchange for keeping his identity a secret, the two sides formed an alliance.

Although the chef's Jialiang cannot charge forward, he can comfort the hearts of non-combatants in the rear.

In the end, Conan said that he had to think about it, so the irrelevant personnel left, and Phil didn't forget to blackmail Hattori when he left.

"Phil, why are you..."

Although Phil always responded with an impatient attitude when it came to questions about love, but this time he was obviously off topic.

"The detective on the side of justice aims to eradicate the darkness without getting involved with irrelevant people. Your experience with that man was purely an accident. It is precisely because you are walking in danger that you don't want the other party to be involved here." world."

It doesn't matter if you put yourself in danger, but that girl who is too gentle will definitely try her best to help, and then everyone will go to hell together neatly.

She also said just now that they are still underage.

"Phil...you obviously haven't reached the age of majority in Japan..."

"Shut up you bad guy!"

The journey home from Beihu was very short, and Jialiang felt that he had arrived home before he had even spoken to Phil.

However, the scene in the room can be said to be horrible, like a fight between ten Kamui.

"How is this going?"

Jialiang tried hard not to let his smile collapse.

Knowing that he had done too much, he turned around slowly while cleaning up, and pointed to the handrail on the second floor.

"An acquaintance came to the door."

This "acquaintance" was being tied up and hung on the handrail before the glass was installed, looking half dead.

"Hey, Takase-kun."

Takase glanced at Jialiang unwillingly, and immediately turned his head back.He wasn't wearing the standard black suit of the Mafia, just looking at his attire would make him look like an ordinary student.

But this "student" just had a fight with Zhongye at Jialiang's house.

Dazai played with the rope boredly, and when his sharp claws slipped, the rope was cut off most crisply, and Takase enjoyed a free fall.

"You... are you really Takase-kun?"

The attitude before and after was a 360° change, which gave Jialiang the illusion of admitting the wrong person.

"Cut, the only thing I don't want to be gossip about by a thief like you."

"Thief?"

Jia Liang scratched his head, unable to touch his head.

Although the cuisine is lacking in originality, did you not plagiarize other people's ideas?

Jialiang didn't know why, but Phil behind him had already understood the situation in front of him.

"You're here to find this."

She took out a book from her backpack.The cover is not much different from an ordinary hardcover book, and most people can't read the cover written in Esperanto—but when Takase saw the book, he stood upright.

"Come back! That's not something you can read casually, Gray Wolf!"

"Since you know my identity, you don't have to worry about this kind of problem. I'm not interested in knowledge that doesn't belong to this world."

Phil didn't seem surprised that Takase recognized her, turned the book around in his hand, and made a motion to put it back in the bag.

"Why do you want this book?"

The situation was too delicate, Jialiang moved his body, leaving the home field to the two people who have set foot in the other world.Chuuya was also curious about the relationship between the "book" that Takase had been yelling about since he broke in just now, and he also stood beside her, feeling like a couple watching a play.

"That book belongs to Academy City. If you don't take it back, the whole of Japan will be destroyed!"

"So that's it, you're from the science side."

Then the person who burned Jialiang's house last time was not Takase, and he didn't seem to have any ability to start a fire.

"Since you are Gray Wolf, you should consider the operation of the world and return the book to Academy City!"

Takase, who didn't deny that he was on the science side, had too many loopholes in his words.

"You've been telling me to return the book to Academy City since just now, to whom exactly? What is this book?"

Struggling, Takase suddenly stopped.

"Isn't it a magic book?"

"It's a pity, this book in my hand is a genuine fantasy book."

Takase doesn't know what phantom books are.The people above told him that for the development of Academy City and the fight against magic, they need that book to evolve level 5 into level 6.Therefore, he took it for granted that this book is a special magic tool that enhances the computing power of superpowers and thus surpasses gods - the magic guide book.

"The phantom book is for those who choose to read it. It is not impossible to return it to you. After all, it is very dangerous to put it on my side-but I want you to tell me why the magic side also wants this book."

They didn't hesitate to burn Jialiang's house, and they didn't want Academy City to take the book back.Could it be that……

"...Magic side? Do they want this book too?"

Gray Wolf is very good at judging whether the other party is lying or not, and the shock shown by Takase at this time is real.

It seems that he is just an abandoned son of the science side, who knows nothing, just to test whether Jialiang really has a phantom book in his hand.

"Then change the question, why do you say Jialiang stole the book?"

In any case, the reason why Academy City learned that the book was in Jialiang's hands had to be drawn from Takase's mouth.

"The book... was stolen by her father. Academy City searched for it for many years, and finally got the news from someone who had close contact with her."

"People in close contact?"

Jialiang really can't think of such a person.As far as the people she came into contact with after coming to Tokyo were Chuya, Phil, and Xiaolan, Phil was the only one who knew that this was a phantom book, and he only knew about it a few days ago.

"It's a man in his 30s...he calls himself Nakagaki."

Jia Liang's brain exploded with a bang.

Nakagaki is already dead, and it is impossible for a dead person to sell news, plus his death method was obviously silenced... But he shouldn't know that this is a phantom book.

What is the origin of this phantom book?

"Who is Jialiang's father in Academy City?"

According to the clues obtained so far, Phil has basically guessed it, but the verbalization is too troublesome, so it is easier to let the insiders speak for themselves.

Takase looked very reluctant, but under the pressure of Chuya, he still opened his mouth.There is no way, the beating just now is still fresh in his memory.

"Ichiji Hasegawa, one of the few people who master the core of Academy City, the chief designer of Tokyo Tower."

Even Gray Wolf didn't expect the last sentence.

The designer of Tokyo Tower, which was completed in 1958...is this person an immortal fairy?
