[Conan Magic Kaito] Starfall Night

Sure enough, due to the unexpected appearance of Kaitou Kidd the day before, the performance on the second day was still full without any surprise.Some people speculated that the props of "Dawn of the Free Man" would be replaced with fake gems after being stolen, but the theater issued a statement early the next morning that Kidd had returned the gems to the Police Department that night, so future performances will be According to the original plan, use 'Dawn of the Freeman' normally.

And on the second day after the stage was released, Airu and other actors finally bowed deeply amid the applause resounding in the hall, ushering in the moment when the curtain was drawn.

Different from yesterday, the whole backstage was surrounded by joyful atmosphere. The actors who returned backstage from the side of the stage clapped and laughed with the oncoming staff one by one, and compared their victories to the recording cameras. gesture.Airu also said hello to the people who were crowded in the aisle, and happily chatted with a few actresses all the way to the entrance of the lounge.

"Tonight, everyone said that they are going to have a good meal. Miss Wenyue will come too?"

"Ah, I'm sorry... I have something to do tonight..." Ailiu shook her head regretfully, looking into the other party's eyes with a wry smile, "After Qian Qiule is over, I will definitely treat everyone in the troupe to dinner."

Fortunately, the few people didn't mind, and after saying goodbye to each other, they entered the lounge respectively.

After entering the lounge, Airu closed the door and took a deep breath.

She sat down in front of the cosmetic mirror with a serious expression, fixed her hair with clips and began to remove makeup.

Finally, finally done.Successfully completed the performance, and also erased yesterday's regret and unwillingness.

Can't wait any longer.

There is only one thing she wants to do now.

××××××××××

When we left the theater, we could see a few scattered stars in the night sky.The cool breeze at night blows away the heat of the day, which makes people feel a little relieved.Ailiu originally sneaked out from the back door in order to avoid fans who might stay at the door waiting to be arrested. Therefore, when he walked to the door, the person who was staring at the mobile phone not far away really made people feel uncomfortable. She was taken aback.

"Senior Black Feather?"

Her doubtful voice reached Kuai Dou's ears, Kai Dou immediately put away his phone, jumped to her side in three steps and two steps, with a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yo!"

"What are you doing here...?"

"Of course I'm waiting for you!"

The obvious answer made Airu slightly frown.

"I?"

"Today's performance was really good, and Ai Liu's acting skills are also very good." He shook his head with a smile, as if he was very happy for Ai Liu, "I just checked Twitter, and there are many positive comments. That guy Qingzi just now We all cried."

"Thank you for coming." Ailiu looked around him, "Where is Senior Qingzi?"

"Let's go back. The Nakamori Police Department seemed to be back very late yesterday. Today, to comfort him, he said that the two of us are going out for dinner together."

"yes……"

Yesterday, a large number of spectators were checked on their personal belongings, and the crowd was evacuated again after the end. It should have taken a considerable amount of time to organize the personnel to return to the Metropolitan Police Department after cleaning up the mess.Airu didn't stay until the end, but one can imagine the hard work of Nakamori Police Department.

For Qingzi, who is filial to his father, he must be quite worried.

Kaito took a peek at Airu's expression, and continued cheerfully, "She asked me to say hello to you and said that the stage was great, and she was very touched."

Hearing the compliment from the friend who had no heart for the city, the picture of Aoko's red eyes naturally appeared in her mind, and Airu finally showed a smile.

"Oh, thanks."

Seeing her smile, Kaito blinked, and instead of answering, stared at her.Airu laughed halfway, avoiding his sight uncomfortably, and touched her face strangely.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Did you just laugh?"

"……what?"

Kaito finally moved away from staring at her, and looked at the sky with some dissatisfaction.

"You, you usually like to smile when you are facing the camera, but when you are with me, you always seem to be worried about something, making people feel like you are deliberately standing two steps away."

thump.

As if he could hear the voice, Kaito's words sank towards the bottom of Airu's heart, and the embarrassment in the words made Airu feel as if her hands and feet were gradually becoming cold.Seemingly not aware that Airu's expression was slowly cooling down, Kaito scratched his hair and looked over again in confusion.

"Don't look at me like this, I think I'm always trying to make you laugh."

"..." Ailiu was silent for a while, and did not continue the topic, "Speaking of which, why did senior wait for me here?"

Kuai Dou said: "That's right, that's right. I came to find you for dinner, but I saw a group of guys with very scary expressions at the door waiting there, so I took a gamble. This way."

Have a meal?

Ailiu wanted to touch her forehead a little bit, but resisted the urge to sigh.

"Strictly speaking, today is actually the successful end of the first day of the stage, so maybe I will go to the celebration party with other actors?"

"Is there any way, I don't know your contact information." Kaito revealed half-moon eyes, "I'll just go and eat something by myself! And now I see you too."

Thinking of her original destination today, Aitura nodded calmly.

"Yeah... just right."

"Ok?"

Looking at Kaito who didn't understand what happened, Airu finally sorted it out in her head in order to be able to say the next words accurately.Then, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she explained.

"Originally, I planned to visit Senior Kuroba's house next, and this saved me a lot of time."

"You? What do you want me to do?"

"It's a bit strange to stand here and talk, let's talk while walking to the station."

××××××××××

The two walked slowly along the street to the subway station, because it was dinner time, and the bustling street scene of the city could be seen from the side of the road.After silently walking through the crowd for a while, when he finally turned from the intersection into a path with few pedestrians, Kaito couldn't help but cast a glance at Airu beside him.

"So what? What can you do with me?"

Taking Kaito's question as a signal, Airu stopped in her tracks with a thud.She turned her head and looked straight into Kaito's eyes, his eyes as blue as the sea reflected the lights of tall buildings in the evening and her figure bathed in neon lights.

She has made up her mind and can no longer hesitate.

(...Be sure to say it.)

Airu worked hard to keep her voice from trembling, and said firmly:

"...I just asked straight to the point, did we meet yesterday?"

Kaito froze for a moment, then frowned, looking at her like a fool.

"Huh? No, I didn't buy yesterday's ticket..."

"I didn't mean that!" Ailiu interrupted him eagerly, realizing her anxiety, she calmed herself down again before continuing to speak.

"Indeed, today you should be watching my performance for the first time. After all, yesterday...you were busy stealing gems."

"!?"

"That's right? The one who set up many traps in the theater, and finally performed on the same stage with me...Mr. Kaitou Kidd."

After saying the last word, Airu looked at Kaito with a determined expression.

The relief in her heart made her feel that her shoulders seemed to be a little lighter, but at the same time as she said it, she seemed to have lost something, and the indescribable sadness made her eyes float like a layer of mist .

(But...it is no longer possible to pretend not to know. I can no longer allow him to be ambiguous like this, because...because...)

The pupils that had given up any leeway made something flash through Kaito's mind.

However, he just shook his head exaggeratedly.

"Do you think I'm Kidd? I've said no..."

"So, please tell me what you were doing yesterday afternoon from four to six."

Wenyue Ailiu, who has always been kind, has never been so aggressive. I wonder if she was overwhelmed by her aura, Kaidou shrinks her neck guiltily, and looks around.

"I... I was killing time at an acquaintance's pool hall..."

"Billiards?" Ai Liu was taken aback, "Senior, can you still play billiards?"

"Yeah, but it's only at an amateur level. Ah, why don't you teach me next time?"

No, if this continues, he will be taken away by his rhythm again.

Ariu noticed this, and opened the distance between the two of them that had been brought closer by her excitement just now.

"...If there is a chance next time. Bluffing is useless. I know that Kidd has a subordinate who committed many crimes with him. I heard that he may be an old man? I don't know what the 'acquaintance' of Kuroba-senpai is. people?"

In order to investigate Kidd's weakness, Airu also spent a lot of time collecting his information.Although I didn't expect it to come in handy when I press him now, Airu doesn't intend to lose when it comes to bluffing.

Sure enough, Kaito who was choked showed a subtle expression, but still denied, "It's really not".

Finally taking a small step forward, Airu felt that she had exhausted all her strength.

"...No matter what, I have been taken care of by that person a lot, and I have been rescued many times, but there is only one thing I want to know the most, and he refuses to tell me anyway."

"……what are you saying?"

Kaito's seemingly ignorant response made the sadness in Ailiu's heart suddenly thicken. She raised her head, stared at his unexpectedly serious face, and exhausted all her courage.

"After meeting many times, I even began to think, have we become friends? But in the end, he never responded to my question. This is just me being sentimental."

"Hey, hey..."

"Although he is a pretender and always says disgusting things, he is really gentle....so gentle that people want to get closer to him."

(How disgusting!)

Ai Liu smiled.

"But... I already know it, no matter how I ask...how I force him...he still doesn't want to tell me. I really hate this vague feeling."

"Airu, I don't understand—"

"So instead of asking him, I'm going to ask you."

Airu interrupted Kaito again, Kaito narrowed his eyes as if anticipating what she was going to say.

"—Yesterday, did Senior Kuroba see me? In the theater lounge."

Two seconds of silence is so long for Ai Liu.

Just like when she stood on stage for the first time and sang her first song, waiting for the reaction of countless eyes in the audience.

The tension that oppresses the heart can make the world play in slow motion.She saw Kaito slowly opened his mouth, subconsciously, she even had a feeling that she didn't want to hear his answer.

"...Not really?"

In an instant, tears overflowed from the eyes.

"unacceptable."

"……Eh?"

"Obviously, it's already the truth...! Telling such a lie... In the end...for what... woo..."

After wiping her tears carelessly with her sleeve, Airu couldn't take it any longer and squatted down, buried her head in her knees and began to cry.

"Hey!? Ai Liu! Why are you crying!"

Kaito was so startled by the scene in front of him that he almost froze, he quickly pulled back his floating consciousness, walked half a circle around Ailiu, and found two or three pedestrians on the side of the road casting strange eyes, he was so embarrassed that he immediately turned his back Standing in front of Airu against them, she anxiously grabbed her hair.Ailiu's sobbing sound still came from below: "It's always like this... always sobbing like this... bully me for a while, help me for a while..." She cried so badly that even her pronunciation was not standard. Kaito felt inexplicably defeated.

"I said... Hey... Ah! I see! I was wrong, I was wrong! Anyway, stop crying!"

Normally Kaito would not make girls cry at first, even if he saw a girl cry, he would immediately perform a magic trick to make the girl happy. He had used this method before to make Aoko (middle school) laugh out of tears. He just I wanted to squat down, but I wanted to find a way to make Ailiu laugh first, but I didn't expect that after I said 'stop crying', the intermittent whimpering stopped abruptly.

"You should have thought...why would I know that you are Kidd?"

"..." The smiling voice from the squatting Ai Liu made it impossible to imagine that she was still crying just a moment ago.Kaito held his forehead helplessly, feeling deeply tired, "You guys switch switches too quickly..."

Occasionally, I feel that I am not as good as her.

Airu stood up quietly, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.Although her eyes were still a little red, it didn't affect her indifferent expression.

"What I can say is that if I don't tell you, you will never know the reason, and of course it is impossible to fix it. If you admit your identity, then in exchange, I will tell you the reason, and my body secret."

"Oh? Exchange..."

Kaito raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

"In the past two months, you should have investigated me too, right? But, you still haven't been able to figure out why I found out, have you?" The faint smile in Airu's tone is the pride after finally taking the lead, "Looking forward to your good news..."

"Senior Kuroba?" Airu, who finally recovered her honorifics, brushed away some messy sideburns and smiled cutely, "I'll take a taxi back, so I won't go to the subway station with senpai. Please be careful on the way, next time See."

She took something out of her pocket and stuffed it into Kaito's shirt pocket, then turned around and walked towards the intersection where she had just come, and disappeared at the street corner illuminated by the night lights.

××××××××××

Kaito took out what Airu left behind from his pocket, which was a note.It seems to be written on the paper torn from the notepad placed in the backstage of the theater, with the words 'AQUAMARINE TOKYO' in the corner, and an email address written in neat handwriting on it.

'Please remember to tear it off after logging in, otherwise it will become the source of troubles for idols'

"………………well………………"

Looking at the second line of small characters, Kaito seemed to have entered a strange and complicated state of mind.
