[Conan Magic Kaito] Starfall Night

Chapter 51 The front and back of the coin [fix the typo n times]

In the early morning, while walking on the avenue leading to the school, Airu couldn't help but yawned.

She has been suffering from lack of sleep for the past few days, and she deliberately went to bed early last night.But after that conversation, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get what Kaito said out of her mind, and she even thought a lot about the future meaninglessly.So, tossing and turning or struggling for a long time before falling asleep.

(—I'm not obliged to worry about these things so much that I can't sleep! Ahhhhhhhhhh!)

Although such a rational conclusion was reached in the end, it is another matter whether it can be done emotionally.

The phone rang, it was Kaito's email.Kaito seemed to be sleeping well, or at least looked refreshed, and the email read "Good morning—! If only I could meet you today!"

Airu silently put away the phone.

(...Is this the so-called passionate love period?)

Because the two do not live in the same direction, it is difficult to meet them on the way to and from school and home.But now that the relationship has changed, let Airu, Kaito, and Aoko go to and from school together...

Thinking about it seems a bit strange.

Although Qingzi seems to be a trustworthy person, in Ailiu's understanding, her character is a bit out of control. Even if Qingzi wants to keep them secret, there is no guarantee that the news will not be leaked.

But compared to such reasons, what is more unacceptable is that Airu has to watch Kaito get along with his childhood sweetheart Aoko as a junior.Saying it this way makes Airu look like a small-minded person... although it is indeed quite small.But as long as it's an ordinary girl, no matter who she is, she will have such boring possessiveness and jealousy.

After turning the last corner, the gate of Jiang Gutian High School was in sight.At this time, a girl's voice as energetic as the sun came from behind.

"Love to stay—!!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Airu immediately stopped and looked back with a smile.

"Senior Qingzi! Good morning!"

As for where she, Kaito and the others who don't live in the same direction can meet, it's probably only at the school gate.In this way, low-probability events will also be encountered on the first day of the brand new day, and Airu can't help but suspect that this is a conspiracy.After she took the initiative to say hello to Aoko who trotted over, she squinted at Kaito behind her: "...and Senior Kuroba, what a coincidence."

After looking at Kaito with eyes of "could it be on purpose?", he immediately shook his head vigorously and waved his hands, showing an innocent expression.

"Morning... By the way, it's not a coincidence, it's because you came late today!"

......

It's true that she woke up later than usual because she didn't sleep, no wonder she met Kaito and Aoko, two people who always pressed the line to enter the school gate.

"Look at your dark circles again." He approached Ailiu and began to study it seriously, "Oh, you can see it even with makeup on. Have you stayed up late?"

(Whose fault do you think!?)

Airu resisted the urge to trample on his feet a few times.He really deserves to be an Oscar-winner-level thief. As the culprit, he can act so innocently. I was just like an idiot who was happy and worried about the so-called love period just now.

"It's, it's okay, hehehe..."

Because the discipline committee member who was on duty at the school gate not far away had more and more piercing gazes, the three of them stopped exchanging greetings and entered the school together in desperation.

At the stairs, the two waved goodbye to Ailiu, the first grader, and continued to go up to the third floor.

Aoko, who was walking in front, continued to walk upstairs briskly, and Kaito, who was following behind Aoko, suddenly slowed down when he passed by Ai Liu, and said softly, "I really met you."

For a moment, Airu looked at him as if she had been electrocuted, but Kaito, who was already a few steps away from her, just smiled at her mischievously through the handrail of the stairs, and disappeared into the next step in three steps at a time. staircase.

"..."

Ai stayed where she was, alone for a while.

Kuroba Kaito is still Kuroba Kaito, obviously there is no need for any doubts.But she felt that Kaito was different from before.This "where" is "where", although she herself can't tell clearly, it's just that one second she was talking about insignificant trivial matters as usual, but the next second she will do something that makes her heart beat faster.

——And, because of this, I began to be different from before.

This seems to be both a good and a bad thing for her.At least it is certain that the leaves of the ginkgo tree blown by the breeze outside the corridor window are gradually turning into a cherry blossom color in her eyes.Although it is autumn now, it is like rejuvenation. The world outside the window is beautiful to her now.

The disturbing heartbeat gradually calmed down.Because he was so happy with a single sentence, he seemed to have the potential to be in love.

If she continues to fall like this, if one day she really abandons the original world and chooses Kaito as Kaito predicted... Who should she ask for forgiveness for making such a choice.

(...Love is really scary.)

×××××××××××××

Airu rang the doorbell, and soon Dr. Ali came out and opened the yard door for her.

"Excuse me, Doctor."

"Ah, it's all right!" The doctor was holding a shopping bag in his hand. After letting Ai in, he didn't close the yard door again, but walked out by himself. Inside, you guys chat slowly."

"Eh? Okay..."

The doctor, who was not good at lying, looked a little embarrassed. After he finished speaking, he left along the way Ai stayed.

(So ​​suspicious...)

She watched the doctor gradually speed up his pace, and finally disappeared around the corner as if fleeing.Although the doctor knew that she was Kudo Shinichi's current client, he didn't know exactly what she had entrusted, so naturally he didn't know her true identity. ——Looking at the doctor's attitude, Conan called her here today, probably not for clues about returning to the original world, or at least not for any good news.

Thinking of this, she somewhat thought of what was waiting for her inside.

The living room of the doctor's house is very clean and tidy because of Hui Yuan's careful management.Conan and Haibara were sitting on the sofa on the side facing away from the door, waiting for Ai to come in without saying a word.

In addition to the two cups of tea on the side of the two of them, there was also a cup of tea on the opposite side of the coffee table, which probably meant asking Ai to stay and sit opposite.She approached the two of them, and as expected, the atmosphere in the living room was very dignified.

"Welcome." Huiyuan sat on the edge of the sofa with his arms folded like a secretary, with a calm attitude, "please sit down."

"..."

Ai Liu, who couldn't think of what to say, sat across from the two of them, took a sip of tea, and observed Conan's expression.

"..."

"..."

Conan, who couldn't tell what he was thinking, also stared at her, and the two stared at each other for about ten seconds.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Well, Conan-kun, how is your health?"

Ai Ru broke the silence.

"It's okay, it will be the same as usual after changing back." There was no problem in Conan's tone.

"Is that so... Has the antidote progressed?"

This time it was Haibara who answered: "In short, it's a step forward."

"Oh~..."

Because she didn't know anything about drugs, Airu couldn't ask further.The corners of her eyebrows twitched, she leaned back on the sofa, gave up and looked for other topics.

"So? Why did you call me here? It can't be to stare at me here."

"Then I'll ask directly." Conan and Haibara looked at each other, "Airu, do you know Kidd?"

(...Is it really this?)

When she received Conan's email this morning, she more or less expected that it might be because of this incident.

(How to fool the past...)

"Me and Kidd? What are you talking about?"

"It's useless for you to pretend to be stupid. Lan wasn't with us at that time—you can find out if you just ask about this kind of thing. You don't think you can really keep it a secret, do you?"

Ailiu coughed, indeed, just asking casually would reveal the truth, after all, Kidd didn't come here after planning.

"Well... Actually, Ms. Lan doesn't have such a thing as an electric shock chamber."

Even through the lens, Conan's sharp eyes still made Airu feel a little stressed.

Conan continued: "The perfect cross-dressing ability also carries an electric shock chamber, and can disappear from 'their' noses... There are not many people around me who can meet these conditions. That Lan is Kaitou Kidd."

Airu felt a drop of cold sweat slipping from the corner of her forehead.The reasoning from just now has nothing to do with Airu, the problem is after that.

But having said that, is Conan praising Kidd... If you ask, you will get stared at, so just think about it in your heart.

"The question is why that guy is there. No warning letter, doesn't look like he's going to steal, and in fact he didn't do anything other than save... us."

Conan didn't know if being saved by this fateful opponent made Conan feel unhappy, so he paused before finishing speaking.Only the detective's inexplicable self-esteem can be said to be able to quickly resonate with Airu.

"——I heard from Huiyuan. Kidd took you away on purpose, right? After that, the two of you disappeared from the hotel together. Although you seemed to tell Lan that you walked through the back door, the doctor's The car was parked over there, but he didn't see you."

(Sorry, you bastard——!!)

Airu shifted her gaze to Haibara, but unfortunately, the other party looked at the magazine as if it was none of my business.Although everyone is female, sometimes Airu will feel that she is on his side, but it seems that Airu's weight on the scale in Haibara's heart is not even 5kg.

"Let's talk about the conclusion. Kaitou Kidd is the rescuer you called, and the escape method you mentioned is actually referring to him, isn't it?"

Conan's first stage of deduction seems to be over.

Airu immediately retorted: "I thought you would say something, how is it possible! I am not from this world at all? How can I have any contact with Kidd?"

"No. Isn't that why?"

"Eh……?!"

"Didn't you know Kidd's true identity from the beginning, and then keep it from us? I also never asked you about Kidd because of my preconceived ideas."

What Conan said was too reasonable, or it was the truth at all, Airu's body shook slightly.

As a foreigner from another world, Airu knows almost nothing about this world, so I can't spoil it even if I want to.Although it also avoids falling into the trouble of "if I want to change the future of this world, will I be punished by God", but it is also difficult for Conan to grasp how much he knows about Airu and what he doesn't know.

In the final analysis, "Do you know" and "Can you intervene?" This is a vague boundary line that the parties involved cannot accurately judge.

"...I have no reason to do this." Ailiu calmed down, "I am relying on Conan-kun for my current position. Even if I know his true identity, I don't seem to need to hide it from you."

Now that I know the reason behind Kaito, Airu really intends to keep it a secret for Kaito until he admits it himself (although if there is no such thing as Airu, I wouldn't be pressed like this), but it turns out it's because it's interesting Not reconciled, wait for a series of reasons without a sense of strength, but keep hiding from Conan and the others, this kind of words are really hard to say...

"Then why did he take you away at that time?"

"You should ask Kidd this question?"

Airu could see that there were veins emerging on Conan's forehead.

"And before, during the stage play. Kidd was the one who gave you the gas mask at that time, right? It's hard to imagine that guy would carry extra things with him. That's what he planned from the beginning, right?"

It turns out that Conan's attitude has been a bit strange before, is he minding this matter...

"Further counting, he will pretend to be you too, no matter how you look at it, you are special. Are you still going to insist that you don't know him?"

"...So, I don't know, okay? Isn't it because I'm cute that I fell in love with it? By the way, isn't he like this with girls, and I want to know why."

Although Airu just said it casually, because of Kaitou Kid's various evil deeds so far, even Conan cannot completely deny this possibility.

As a result, on this day, he failed to ask other things from Ailiu, let alone persuade her to break off relations with Kidd, so he just let her go back.

×××××××××××××

Conan didn't believe in those one-sided lines of Ai Liu, she is a very good person anyway, and these words are probably all acting skills.

He had no other evidence, however, that Airu might be connected to Kidd.And like Airu said, he couldn't find a motive either.For detectives, these are decisive.

Assuming that Airu really knew Kidd, and there was a connection between the two, how did they know each other, and why did they keep this matter from themselves——

And what is the relationship between these two people?

Conan rubbed his hair and sighed a little tiredly.

"...I said Huiyuan, what do you think?"

"I don't think much of it."

Haibara has read the last few pages of the magazine at some point, it seems that Conan has been thinking alone for a while.

"I was unconscious in the elevator... Is there anything else you noticed?"

"No. I should have told you everything I noticed, right?"

"Don't say such things!" Conan looked at her anxiously, "Think about it again! Aren't you worried about keeping that guy?"

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Hey, Airu may be related to that international wanted criminal. If she knows the true identity of the criminal but keeps silent, depending on the circumstances, she may be regarded as an accomplice."

"Well... Indeed, it will probably be very troublesome if the Nakamori Police Department and the others find out about this matter."

"It's fine if it's just this level of squabbling." Conan adjusted his glasses feebly. "In short, I will continue to investigate. If you think of anything, please let me know."

Haibara shrugged, indicating that he had heard it.

At that time, if Haibara hadn't made a mistake...

Airu did reach out to Kid herself.

Kidd then grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him.

Although Haibara was still unable to draw a complete conclusion on the meaning of this action.

But maybe the relationship between the two is much simpler than what Conan imagined. ——Thinking of this, Haibara felt happy for some reason, she closed her slightly smiling eyes, and took a sip of tea gracefully.

"If you let someone like Airu be an accomplice, Kaitou Kid will probably be caught soon."

"...I don't deny this."

Conan, who was still thinking seriously beside him, couldn't help showing a wry smile after hearing this.

The author has something to say:

Because the author has also officially entered the winter vacation, the update progress of going out to play and so on may be slower than usual...

But everyone believes that almost everyone has entered the winter vacation, so let's go out and have fun more often!Occasionally think of it and take a look!

It's really annoying that I can't type anymore after ten days of not writing. . . .

Conan began to suspect!what to do!
