magician under the moon

"Ah Choo~~"

Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but sneezed, although he knew it wasn't appropriate.After all, the current self is in the center of the stage, facing the audience who have already burst into tears.Fortunately, the audience apparently did not notice this little episode.But someone noticed the slight movement and gave her partner a warning look.

However, even so, Qingzi has to admit that Kaito's performance today is too perfect.Especially the dreamy appearance of Kaitou Kidd, a man in white, under the spotlight on the stage, accompanied by a white pigeon, landed lightly, and then walked gracefully, wearing a monocle to swipe If there is a smile that seems like nothing, slowly approach yourself.In an instant, it took all of Qingzi's breath.It caused her to forget all the lines, and like all the audience, she could only stare blankly at Kaito Kuroba pretending to be Kidd.Although it's embarrassing, Qingzi has already put the responsibility on Kaidou.Because the wayward male lead refused to participate in the rehearsal, I was frightened, but fortunately, the extra careless audience tonight also didn't notice my little mistake.

"Qingzi, lines," the class monitor, who saw that the heroine hadn't moved for a long time, couldn't bear to remind him in a low voice behind the scenes.

'Oops, I lost my mind again'.After reacting, Qingzi immediately began to think about the next line, but happened to meet Kaito's playful expression, the meaning was very obvious, "I'm so embarrassed to say me." '

In normal times, Qingzi would have started the war of words with Kaidou long ago.But at this time, she could only be patient.Fortunately, there is another way to express anger.

"Abduct me here, what on earth are you trying to do? You despicable thief!" Qingzi suddenly pushed away the male protagonist beside him, and Kaito almost fell down due to the strength.It's a pity that even so, Kaito, who never wants to suffer in the "battle" with Qingzi on weekdays, can't fight back openly now, because this is exactly what the plot needs.

But if he suffered a loss but did not fight back, then it would not be Kaito Kuroba standing on the stage now.After stabilizing the body.He bowed his head slightly and fell silent for a long time.The hesitant expression coupled with the slightly sad eyes made Qingzi's heart skip a beat.However, Qingzi's heart soon missed another beat.Because of a line from 'Phantom Thief Kidd'. "Qingzi, I'm sorry, it's me."

"Qing?" Qingzi took a lot of effort not to let the word 'zi' come out of his mouth.

"Hey..." reminded very softly, "Kaito, you mispronounced the lines, my name in the play..."

The reminder didn't continue, because Aoko quickly noticed, and Kaito had a bit of a restrained smile. 'Damn it, he did it on purpose. '

Although she immediately understood that it was a prank, the only thing Aoko could do was to continue to perform, which made Aoko feel very uncomfortable, but she had no choice. But she didn't know that for Kaito, this was not just a simple prank .

"Your voice, how could it be".Qingzi started the next line with dedication, and matched it with a perfect shocked expression, secretly admiring his good actor training.

"It's me, Aoko." Kaito's expression changed so quickly that Aoko almost thought he was a professional actor.Accompanied by beautiful music, under the spotlight and the surprised gaze of the heroine, Kaito Kidd took off his top hat and monocular lens slowly and gracefully.Just like the countless scenes in his dreams.

"Impossible, this is impossible! How could Kaitou Kidd...!" Before he finished speaking, Qingzi was embraced into a warm embrace. 'What's going on, this is not the same as the script. 'Qingzi froze for a moment.

"You bastard, there should be a limit to pranks!" Qingzi reminded Kaidou with an inaudible but slightly reproachful voice in Kaidou's arms.

But Kaito didn't seem to hear it at all, and said such a sentence in a tone full of pain that Aoko had never heard before, "I'm sorry, Aoko. You heard that right, Kaitou Kid is me, Black Yu Kaito."

Aoko couldn't see Kaito's expression, but felt his hug tightened for a moment, making her a little breathless.She was supposed to accuse Kaito of falsifying her lines once again, but her mind went blank all of a sudden, she was unable to make any response, and could only vaguely listen to Kaito's eloquent words.

"Qingzi, I'm sorry. I really don't want to lie to you. I also know that my behavior will definitely hurt you deeply, but I have no choice. This is my only choice. One day when I was 17 years old, I knew for the first time I found out that my father was actually the Kaitou Kidd, and at the same time knew the fact that he was killed. In order to find out the truth, I had to pretend to be Kidd, hoping to lead out the murderers who killed my father. Even though, this may mean a No way back. In fact, I wanted to tell you the truth many times, but I couldn't say it. Because I want to protect you from being attacked, and because I know that you hate Kidd the most. I can't and dare not imagine , the expression on your face when you know Kaito Kidd is your childhood friend. I don’t want to defend my actions because it’s my choice, and I don’t even ask for your forgiveness. But I still want to tell you that no matter what happened , no matter who I am, one thing never changes."

The long silence made the audience hold their breath. They seemed to feel his uncontrollable emotions from the slightly trembling shoulders of Kaitou Kidd.And then all the audience heard the most emotional line they've ever heard tonight

"I love you, Qingzi."

====================================================================== ================

"so amazing."

"As expected, Kaito should play Kid"

"I was moved to tears"

"Thanks to Kaito, our class is really showing off this time."

Kaito, who hadn't had time to catch his breath, was already surrounded by people as soon as he returned to the backstage.Among them are the classmates who are responsible for the backstage work, as well as other supporting roles, and even many "fans" who were shouting crazily in the audience not long ago.Apparently, the drama performance of Class B of the 2nd grade was an unprecedented success. The continuous applause and cheers from the audience made the actors have to call the curtain again and again.But even so, there are still many unsatisfied viewers who came to the backstage deliberately, wanting to take a look at the demeanor of this "Kidd".

"Um, uh, Kaito-san" a girl in a third-year uniform asked softly with a blushing face, "I heard that you are a magician, is that true?"

"Of course..." Replied perfunctorily, his eyes had already passed over the crowd, the figure who had been watching turned around, and left the noisy crowd.

Kaito knew that he was in trouble, and he had no courage and no way to tell the truth. Although he chose the script as a cover, he really only wanted to stop.But in the scene that appeared countless times in that dream, he couldn't help but hold Qingzi in his arms.For a moment, even Kaito himself couldn't tell whether all this was a dream or reality, as if under a spell, he revealed all the secrets in his heart.

'Sure enough, if you keep a secret for too long, even your heart will get tired. Kaito sighed lightly, "What should I do?"I said so many things that shouldn't be said on the spur of the moment, even if Qingzi knew that this was a performance, I'm afraid... How should I explain it to her? '

"That..." Kaito suddenly showed a slightly melancholy expression, making everyone around him feel like their hearts skipped a beat.Especially Kaito's classmates, when they saw Kaito's serious face for the first time, they were a little stunned.

"I'm sorry, excuse me first," Kaito, who came back to his senses, showed Kidd's charming smile, and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Perhaps because he was not used to the noisy atmosphere, Qingzi quietly left the backstage.Walking alone on this familiar road home, without the company of a naughty boy, it is somewhat deserted.

'What's going on? 'The scene on the stage just now lingers in my mind like a film showing' There is nothing wrong with this being a performance, but why is that real feeling so strong?Why did Kaito tamper with his lines, even his name?Is it purely a prank or what? '

Aoko shook his head violently, "Impossible, how could Kaito be Kidd?"He's just a high school student isn't he?However, if the plot in today's show is true.Yeah, this is a script written by Kaito.Moreover, both Hong Zi and Bai Ma Tan said some inexplicable things, and even Dad used to...'

"Why are you staring blankly by yourself? I told you not to agree for a long time." A young man suddenly rushed out from behind, as usual.

"Quick...quick fight!"

"Why do you feel like you've seen a ghost. What's the matter, are you uncomfortable?" I wanted to make my tone lighter, but my voice trembled a little. Is it still doubtful? '

"It's nothing."

Kaito suddenly didn't know how to answer the conversation, accompanied by Moonlight and the unsuspecting passers-by around, the two in front and the back had their own concerns, and remained silent. "That, Kaito" Aoko broke the silence first

"What?" Kaito, who had seen countless big scenes, was suddenly a little nervous.

"That...... Could it be that you really"

"Ah?" At this point, I can only pretend to be stupid, 'I'm sorry, Qingzi, now is really not the time to confess everything. '

"Could it be that you are really Kaitou Kidd!!" Qingzi's earth-shattering words suddenly made many passers-by stunned.

"Hahaha" Kaito suddenly laughed out loud, bent down on purpose to hide his unnatural expression. "What are you talking about, Kidd? Qingzi, your brain is burnt out. I just played a role on stage at your request, how could I become Kidd."

"I know, maybe I'm thinking too much, but...why, why are you so similar to that person, not just in dress, appearance, or even that temperament. And, and, you are on stage On, those, those words..."

"Have you seen what Kidd looks like?"

"what?"

"No one knows what Kidd looks like, how do you say we look alike?"

"I mean......."

"I'm also a magician. Isn't it normal to have a similar temperament or something else? Isn't that why you want me to play him?"

"But....."

"Really, it's just a joke, why take it so seriously?"

"I......"
