me and my vest

Terai Konosuke was wiping his cleaned cups with a cloth, and then placed them on the shelf one by one, looking at these shiny glass products and fell intoxicated.

"Ah, please give me a glass of water!"

Kuai Dou broke in in embarrassment, before he could take off the monocle, and before he could go to the bar, he heard the computer's prompt.

He had no choice but to frantically turn on the computer on the table and agree to the video application initiated by Chikage Kuroba.

"Master, your water." Terai gave him the cup, "What's the matter, is it Madam?"

"Kaito, I have something to tell you."

"Ah?" Kaito took a big sip of water, then looked over suspiciously.

"Do you remember Yukiko Fujimine?"

"Isn't that an actor? It seems that he was once very famous, but then he quit the film industry."

"Well, she is married to Yusaku Kudo. But, this person has learned disguise with Pirates, so mother knows her."

"Eh? She and Dad are learning disguise?"

"Yes, her son is a detective, and you know that too."

"Kudo Shinichi!!!"

"Yes, a few days ago, Yusaku Kudo called me and asked me to help, after all, my mother was also a lady of the Phantom Thief." Chikage Kuroba cupped her cheeks while talking, "Ah~ That's how I met Pirate One, your father, and we were..."

"Hey! Wait, let's talk about the main point first."

"My son is so uncute when he grows up... In short, that kid Kudo Shinichi has offended a powerful character, and he rashly went to find out about his mentor."

"Tutor?" Kaito rubbed the back of his head, "University professor?"

"No, it's another kind of mentor who consults with criminals. We've all heard about it in the upper echelons of the other world, but no one has seen it. Those who have been mentored will not say it out of kindness. Others disappeared after seeing it. .”

"What do you mean, the person who guides the crime? There is also this kind of..."

"Yes, Kudou and the others just provoked him..." Kuroba Chikage explained Kaito's science.

I don't know why it always feels weird, Kaito answered before she could speak, "It's not that guy Shinichi who provoked him, but Yusaku Kudo. This kind of obsession or something."

"Yeah, it's too scary to provoke such a person.

"Then what happened?"

"Yusaku Kudo asked Shinichi Kudo to go to the United States to find him, but the boy refused to agree, saying that he wanted to protect his girlfriend Lan, so he had no choice but to ask me to help."

"It's too dangerous, mom, you easily agree to such a thing."

"Because it has a certain value. When your father disappeared, I was helpless. Later, I got some information from the leader of a gang on how to ask the mentor to plan, but he didn't agree, and my mother never heard of similar things. It's rumored."

"This time there is news about the mentor, maybe there is a chance."

"Anyway, Mom will be going to Japan in a few days, does Kaito miss me? How is this action going?"

Kaito knew that he could not change his mother's decision, so he had no choice but to follow her words.

"It's okay, it's not that it's not going well. You see, I'm back well. It's just strange. Today I met a strange person who might know my father."

"Know Pirate One?"

Kuroba Chikage, who was just about to hear what her son wanted to say, was shocked by this explosive news.

"what happened?"

Quickly tell the two of them.

Little girls and grown men?

Chikage Kuroba, who was in Europe, fell into a brief silence, and then felt extreme fear, and her hands and feet became cold in an instant.

"Mom? What's wrong with you?" Seeing her face turn pale suddenly, Kaito hurried over to call her.

"Kaito... the man and the little girl you described to me... are the mentor and Alice." Chikage Kuroba pinched herself fiercely under the cover of the table, not wanting to show herself in front of the child. Emoticons come.

What kind of information network is this? Yusaku Kudo took every precaution to send me the news, but he found out about it so quickly, and even went to Kaito in advance, is he warning me?

Is this kind of calculation still within the scope of human beings?

How to do?

Kuroba Chikage felt blurred vision for a moment, and even the son in front of her eyes became unclear.

"Mom?" Kaito stared at the opposite side of the screen, "... If you say that, it looks scary when you really don't know it, and that girl said those words, is she planning to target me?"

Yes, I want to protect Kaito.

This time, I was a little hesitant to agree to Yusaku Kudo, but since Kaito has been involved, that girl, called Alice, knew Kidd's identity and said that, so that's the only way to do it.

There is no way out.

As a mother, she forced herself to wake up and showed a relaxed smile.

"Well, it's okay. Mom will take care of it. I'll find you right away."
