[Conan Magic Kaito] Starfall Night

After that, several people ran out of the forest along the track, saw a seemingly deep cave in front of them, and got into it without thinking much.

After Ayumi and the others dropped the backpack, the wild boar temporarily stopped and circled around the backpack, probably feeling at a loss because he didn't know how to open it.Taking advantage of this opportunity, several people distanced themselves from it in one breath, hiding in the cave and thinking about their next move.

Kaito carefully leaned against the wall and put Ai down.There is no mobile phone signal here, and there is no other means of mobility other than walking. If you want her to receive treatment, you have to find a way to go back to the hotel.But if you go out now, you may run into a wild boar.

"...does it feel alright?"

"...It's terrible." Ai Liu showed a tired expression, looked down and saw the worried faces of the three children around her, and then smiled comfortingly, "However, I can still persist."

Mitsuhiko looked into the depths of the cave, and whispered, "There is a door inside."Everyone looked there immediately, Kaito supported Airu, and slowly moved along the cave wall behind the detective team.

The door appears to be solid and free of dust and signs of use.On top of that, the door didn't have a lock.Although they don't know where this door leads to, they now have another choice.Go in, or go back the same way... Airu gestured to Kaito with her gaze, waiting for his decision.

"Waiting for the wild boar to leave here is also a gamble, and it may come in with us again." Kaito thought for a while, "If there is a room, it means that there may be communication tools in it. Anyway, there is no harm in going in and taking a look. But... ..."

Having said that, he frowned and did not continue.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. After hesitating for a few seconds, I decided to hide in before the wild boar chased me in.Besides, Airu is eager to sit down now. She has been supporting her weight with her left leg. Not only does her right leg hurt badly when she moves a little, but her left leg also starts to ache.

Behind the door is a dark room.Kaito closed the door carefully, and touched the walls on both sides, but he couldn't touch the light switch, so he had to give up.Fortunately, they had flashlights in their hands, and several people turned on the flashlights one after another to use them for lighting.For a while, he didn't see the chair, and he walked around and was afraid of something under his feet, so Kaito simply asked Ai to stay by the door and not move.

The place illuminated by the flashlight reflected a piece of shiny things. Looking closer, all of them were pearls, jade and gemstones of various colors.Airu, who was standing by the door, could also clearly see a large piece of gemstones of various colors and sizes on the table, and had the illusion that she was about to get rich for a moment.

"A lot of gems...!"

"No, real gems will not be thrown here..." Kaito also casually picked up a stone that was placed in a small plate, and glanced at the light on his hand, "These are all fakes."

(……makes sense.)

The dream of getting rich made a crisp sound, and disappeared into particles of light.

This room seemed to be a warehouse, and everyone took flashlights to look around, and three of them were cabinets, which were full of fake gems.The open space is filled with many fakes of well-known famous paintings and sculptures.On the other side of the cabinet, guns and gunpowder of different shapes are kept.

Seeing the gun gleaming with a cold luster in the light of the flashlight, Airu couldn't help but frown.I always feel that Satohara's joke at the reception is becoming true step by step in a nasty way, according to the most old-fashioned plot, and the next step is probably...

With a bang, there was a slight sound from the opposite side of several people, and at the same time, the originally dark room was lit up.It turned out that the light switch was on the opposite side—everyone looked at the opposite side subconsciously. It turned out that there was an entrance on the opposite side of the room, and a few people headed by Nezu Shinzo were standing on the stairs extending down from the entrance.In addition to his assistant Yagami, there are three other people. Although they are also wearing suits, they should be bodyguards as can be seen from their muscular build and the guns in their hands.

Maybe it's an existence more annoying than bodyguards, such as hired killers or something.

Hearing the sound of the gun being loaded, the children immediately shrank behind Kaito in fright.Although Airu was already leaning against the farthest door, she still felt that the pain in her calf was a little more serious than before.

"It seems that you have seen something you shouldn't have seen."

Chairman Nezu showed a completely different smile from when he was speaking at the reception. If this kind of expression control is considered a way of life, Airu firmly refuses to admit that this is the same way as herself.

"As a gift to send you back to the west, let you take a look at the real diamond." He said, he took out a small box of the same style as Kaito's from the inner pocket of the suit and opened it.

Sure enough, there are diamonds inside, so this time it should be real.Although the light on the other side of the stairs is very dark due to the backlight, the diamonds still exude a strange brilliance.

(Although it seems a bit unlikely to be pointed at by three guns... But if it's Kaito...)

Definitely won't give up.

Ailiu glanced at his back, feeling very determined in her heart.

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's actually because you don't feel at ease if you don't carry it with you? I'm afraid that Kidd will come back to steal the real thing after he finds out that it's a fake."

"Shut up!" Nezu raised his voice and interrupted Kaito, "Since the secret has been discovered, I have no choice but to ask you to die."

As he spoke, he signaled the three men with guns to aim their guns at Kaito and the children.Kaito stood in front of the detective team, although he moved his right hand, he stretched it back immediately.Against the bewitching luster of the gun body, the black muzzle looks even more eerie.

"Well, although I haven't spoken all the time, I'm here."

Airu came out from the shadow by the door.

"Hey……!"

Kaito tried to stop her, but Airu ignored his voice and came straight to him.

Although she wanted to try her best and stand in the place with the brightest light before speaking, the condition of her right leg really did not allow her to continue walking.She barely stood still, with one hand propped on the table to maintain balance, and blocked in front of him.

Nezu Shinzo frowned slightly, it was obvious that he didn't know Airu.People in the business world don't care much about the entertainment industry, and Ai Liu is not a well-known star, so she doesn't think the other party will know her.

Ai Liu cleared her throat and tried not to let her voice tremble as she spoke.

"If you shoot, there will be gunshots."

"The sound of gunshots?"

Nezu asked back, which is a good sign.Airu nodded immediately.

"It doesn't look like there is a phonophone installed... the sound in this forest seems to be able to travel far away by accident," carefully recalling what Satohara said, Airu decided to describe it a bit exaggerated, "That's why everyone at the hotel knows that everyone knows that there was a gunshot in the forest."

"—"

Although he didn't continue to speak, Nezu seemed to think of something from this sentence, he lowered his head and thought for a few seconds.It seems that there has been a murder case here before, so it should be unmistakable.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but Kaito behind him also seemed to cast a surprised look at her.

But there shouldn't be too much worry about Kaito——Aizuo focused, and continued: "The reception should be almost over now, if everyone doesn't get together and make noise, the number of guests who notice the gunshots will also increase."

If that was the case, as long as the corpses were disposed of and pretended not to know, there shouldn't be any major problems.

How to explain your identity to Nezu can achieve the best effect. During the two seconds of hesitation in Airu, the secretary Yagami behind Nezu gently tugged on his sleeve.

"President, this person seems to be from the entertainment industry."

"Hmph, artist..."

Although Yagami Toshida, who is also a businessman like Nezu, would be surprised that a new-generation idol like Airu who has never been in red and white has ever met, but this at least saves her the effort of self-introduction.

"You should understand what I mean. If there is a commotion in the media, this place will be searched. I believe you are also to blame."

Nezu seemed to have fallen into a brief moment of contemplation.

This is the rhetoric she had thought up when she was still outside the door.Under Kaito's reminder, she was more or less aware of the possibility of facing such a situation after entering, and unlike Kaito, she knew that the other party might have a gun before entering the door.

(However, no matter how much I thought about it, I never thought that there would be so many of them...)

Airu looked at Nezu nervously, if the other party could be swayed by his rhetoric and let the matter have room for negotiation, as long as the rest is handed over to Kaito who can speak well, there will be no problem.

It was probably less than ten seconds, but Airu felt that a long time had passed.Nezu suddenly raised his right hand and made a gesture. Following his gesture, the three guns, which had eased their aim, aimed precisely at several people again, but this time the target was naturally Airu standing in the front.

So well-founded, why can't he be shaken...! ?

Nezu looked at Airu who opened his eyes wide, with a smooth smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Just leave it all to Kaitou Kidd."

"Kidd...?"

"It's rumored that he doesn't use a gun, right? He's used it since today. How about a script like this where brave young people sacrificed themselves in a fight to get back the diamonds?"

Airu couldn't help but glared at him for talking such nonsense in front of her.Nezu waved his hand indifferently in Airu's sight.

"I thank you on behalf of the company. —Shoot!"

Then, everything seemed to happen in an instant.

As soon as the word "gun" fell, the chandelier with the faint light on the ceiling was knocked down by something, made a very loud bang, and fell to the ground full of debris.The whole room was suddenly surrounded by darkness, only a ray of light came out from behind the slightly closed door at the opposite entrance, barely illuminating the figures of Nezu and the others.

When the three suspected bodyguards hesitated to shoot, Genzu was the first to react and shouted: "Don't shoot randomly and hit the gunpowder—"

Then a medium-sized black figure jumped out of the air, passed over the heads of Nezu and his group standing on the narrow stairs, and overwhelmed one of them.Accompanied by his wailing, "whoosh, whoosh" the things shot from behind Ailiu accurately hit the guns in the hands of the remaining two.The breeze stirred Ailiu's slightly sweaty forehead hair, and she came back to her senses and thought, "It's Kidd's poker gun", and then several shadows entangled together and fell down in a mess. It's not clear who is who.

The wailing on the ground sounded one after another, and Nezu, who survived because he didn't hold a gun, immediately wanted to get out from the entrance beside him.Kaito stood up from behind Airu, and shot the playing cards with precision, opening Nezu's pocket.

The box containing the diamonds fell out, and Nezu, who wanted to pick it up, was frightened by the continuous shooting of playing cards and jumped out of the entrance.

"..."

All this happened so fast, Airu stared dumbfounded at Nezu screaming and ran away, feeling that her brain hadn't caught up with this development.

What surprised her even more was the little black figure chasing Nezu from the entrance after putting down the bodyguards and Yagami who seemed to have lost consciousness in the stairwell.

"Onee-san Airuru! Is that Conan-kun?"

The group of young detectives who had been trembling behind came to Airu and questioned her.

Seems like it?But when did he come...

Airu nodded blankly, watching as Kaito stomped over a group of unconscious people unceremoniously, climbed the stairs, and retrieved Nezu's dropped diamond.

In the dimly lit room, the diamond reflected the faint light from the opposite entrance, shining tenaciously in Kaito's hand.

diamond……

(Great……)

After she was relieved, the pain that she had deliberately ignored began to torment her again.Kaito put the box in his pocket and immediately came to her side.Airu had long felt that her right leg was already severely swollen. If possible, she wanted to sit down to reduce the pain a little, but her right foot, which would cause severe pain as long as she moved a little, strongly refused her wish.Rather, the distance from the shadow of the gate to the light driven by the sense of tension and mission just now is more like a miracle.

Airu's hand left the table for a short while and then pressed it back. Kaito immediately understood what she meant, said "be patient", and carried her to the table, sweeping away the useless fake gems .Then try not to touch the calf and ankle joint, and put her right leg flat on the table.

With just such a movement, Airu gritted her teeth, showing an expression as if she had been stuffed with a plate of bitter melon in one breath, and managed to hold back the groan.

"You guys," Kaito seemed to want to hold her hand for a moment, but immediately remembered the existence of the detective team, and immediately turned to them, "The wild boar should be gone, you go outside to collect some long enough Strong branches come, it is best to remove the leaves."

"Trees, branches...?" Ayumi asked in a tearful tone.

"Well, give her a regular use."

Hearing this, the three children immediately nodded deeply, ran to the door, opened the door without any hesitation, and left the warehouse the same way.

"...Is it really gone?"

Ai Liu looked at the petite figures of the three of them.

"Heard the sound of the chandelier being smashed down just now, he probably won't stay where he is." Kaito said briefly, this time tightly holding Airu's hand, "I don't have time, I have to—"

Aizu stared at Kaito's face.Even in a dimly lit room, at such a close distance, his expression can still be clearly captured.

Speaking of it, it seemed that this was the first time I saw him who always had a calm smile on his face so nervous.His forehead hair, which was soaked with sweat like his own, made people want to gently push it away for him.

Thinking that he was nervous for himself, in addition to the self-defeating feeling that he wanted to pass out from the pain, an untimely joy sprouted in Ai Liu's heart.

However, this look did not suit him very well.

Kaitou Kidd is still more suitable for the extremely calm, elegant, and absolutely confident smile when looking down on all the audience from a high place.

She gently pushed Kaito's hand away, the brief handshake lasted about ten seconds.Kaito frowned, just as he was about to say something, he was overwhelmed by Aizu's words.

"Go quickly, right now. Conan-kun will not leave you alone, and will be back soon."

"Hey……"

Kaito, who wanted to refute, just said one word, and then closed his mouth.I'm afraid he would have realized it immediately. Now that he doesn't have a hang glider, if he doesn't get out quickly, he will fall into the dilemma of playing hide-and-seek with Conan, even the entire island's security team, and the second class who will eventually come back.

Even so, Kaito still struggled and asked:

"Your leg……"

"These people should have a radio or something, don't worry." Airu said cheerfully.

As if predicting that Airu would answer like this, Kaito's eyes filled with complicated emotions.Knowing that if he didn't leave quickly, he might be caught by Conan again, but he still didn't move his legs immediately.

The delicate eyebrows were twisted together, as if the serious eyes were about to stare at herself. The complex expression formed by the two seemed to be something Kaito had never seen before, which made Airu feel a little fresh.

However, she had to put these smacks of satisfaction behind her.

have not reach yet.

It should not be the time when the two must decide the outcome.

and so……

For Airu, who hardly knew the development of this world, this had nothing to do with the prophecy, it was simply her own wish.

She reached into the pocket of the cardigan and took out a round object.

Kaito looked at the thing in her hand, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.Airu took Kaito's left hand, which was not holding the jewel, and placed it in his hand.It was the monocle that he had thrown in the woods far away, but was discovered by Ai Liu sharply.

Put it on and restore Kidd that no one can see through.

— even when she picked it up, she didn't even know if Kidd was still alive.

"You are Phantom Thief Kid."

As she said that, she smiled slightly: "Although I don't want to admit it... But, since the first time I met you, I have always admired you."

Kaitou Kidd always stands on the stage and brings the most exciting performances to the audience.

So, take your prey with you and disappear under the night sky with confidence, just like you always do.

While trying to convey this heart to Kaito with the shortest words.

Ai Liu felt a fleeting idea flashed through the depths of her mind.

The author has something to say:

I've been waiting for a long time m(__)m

Some time ago, because I received a job as a translator (for the time being, I got paid), so I spent most of my rest time there.

Although I want to tell everyone, but I can’t write the author’s words if I don’t write new ones, but it seems that there is no need to deliberately use a chapter to talk about this matter...

So I didn't say it all the time, sorry T-T

I finished the translation the day before yesterday, so I came back and continued to write. Although there are some other things to do at the end of the day, anyway, please give me your advice =3=

As for the fracture mentioned earlier, it is not urgent to deal with it!Don't take this kind of problem too seriously... You see, let's deal with it now (...
