[Conan Magic Kaito] Starfall Night

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle (?)

...Of course, it didn't take long, and less than a week later, the day when Kaito Kidd wanted to steal the "Emerald Emperor" soon came.Having said that, this matter has nothing to do with Airu, so she still looks the same as usual, a gentle and lovely campus goddess (self-proclaimed); Kaito certainly doesn't let people see any clues, so he looks As usual, he secretly ate the pudding bought by Airu and refused to admit it.

This day Ai left class and went home straight away without anything else to do.Although she is no longer an idol, she has free time after school, but because she has not stopped acting as Yamato Nadeko, she still has to keep a distance when interacting with others.

She was planning to go home and change clothes before taking the tram to the art museum, but when she was only one corner away from Kuroba's house, she suddenly received a call.

"Hello, Miss Sonoko?"

"Ah, love to stay? I'll be at your house soon, let's go with you."

"Eh?"

Airu stopped and covered the microphone nervously.She hasn't told Yuanzi that they have moved, so the "home" Yuanzi said should refer to the high-end apartment she rented before.

"I have to transfer the tram from your house, so I asked the driver to pick us up. Are you home yet?"

"I……"

If it was moved to another place, I would have said it by the way.The problem is that she moved to Kaito Kuroba's house, which made things troublesome.

But no matter what, Yuanzi can't be left waiting there, Ai Liu cleared his throat.

"Well, I actually moved out of that apartment last month, and now I'm staying at a friend's house..."

"Eh!? Really!?" Lan's voice could be vaguely heard on the other side, it seemed that they were together, "Then where are you now?"

They all drove here specially, it would be too unnatural to let them go first now.

Airu hesitated for a moment, then walked towards home again: "I'll send it to you. If you drive, I think you can get there in about 10 minutes."

×××××××××××××

"Hurry up! Ms. Sonoko and the others are coming!"

(...no one is here!)

Airu pushed open the door roughly, only to find that there was no one inside.

Since he had a job today, Kaito might have already left.Of course it is safest if he is not around. After all, with his face, if Lan and Sonoko saw him, he might be taken as Kudo Shinichi who transferred schools without telling them.

It would take nearly half an hour to walk here from that apartment, but since Sonoko and the others have a car, as they said on the phone, they will arrive in about 10 minutes.Ge Taro, who was sleeping in the corner of the living room, was awakened by the sound of Ai Liu opening the door, and flapped his wings on the shelf and called a few times.Ignoring its protest, Airu hurriedly changed her shoes and went into the room to touch up her makeup.

When they went out again, Yuanzi and the others seemed to have not arrived yet, only a nearby dog ​​was barking happily, and it seemed that they were playing in the yard with their owner.She glanced at the time, thinking that the car should be coming soon, when a familiar figure suddenly appeared from the corner of the street.

He has always insisted on not buttoning the top button of his stand-up collar uniform, so at first glance he looks like a very serious high school student.Seeing Airu standing at the door of the house, he swayed over with brisk steps.

"What are you doing standing in front of the house?"

"..." I am really convinced that Kaito can come home at such an inopportune time, "Why are you coming back now?"

"I waited for Qingzi for a while, and I just separated from her." He said, looking behind Ailiu, "What about you? Is there a courier?"

Ai Liu sighed: "Miss Sonoko said she would come to pick me up, and she will be here soon. I don't think it's appropriate for you to stand at the door so carelessly..."

"What?" Kaito's eyes widened, and it was too late to say it, but the sound of the engine came from not far away.

The road that the car can enter has only one direction, which is the place Kaito walked over just now, as long as you turn around, you can immediately see Kaito and Airu standing at the door.

Kaito reacted in an instant, swished past Airu, and went straight into the open gate.This swift action left a few afterimages beside Ai Liu and the wind that stirred her temples, making her stunned in place.

The luxury body of the imported car slowly appeared at the intersection, Sonoko poked his head out of the window of the passenger seat, and waved to Ailiu who was standing blankly at the door.

"hello--!"

Before the car had fully reached the door of the house, Ailiu hurried up to meet her with a smile: "I'm sorry, I asked some of you to pick me up."

"It's a small matter."

Yuanzi and Lan in the car were both wearing uniforms, and they looked like they had just arrived after school.Airu opened the back seat door and found that besides Ran, Conan was sitting with an innocent smile on his face.

"Airu-sister's friend is called Kuroba~"

……………………………….

Ai Liu replied with an awkward yet polite laugh.Didan Primary School is not far from the high school, so it is understandable that they went to pick up Conan first.But if it's Conan, he must be able to easily think that the place where he lives now is Kaitou Kidd's house.In fact, his expression at the moment seemed to be seriously thinking about something.

(That's why I don't want to tell you guys...)

But you can't cover the name tag, and it's pointless to regret it now.Although I don't know how Kaito will prevent his identity from being identified, but... Airu is powerless anyway, there is nothing he can do to help him, and he doesn't bother to talk to him, and doesn't want to interfere.

"By the way, have you heard about Ariu? It seems that Kidd went to the garden last night."

"……Oh?"

Airu's smile, which seemed to have painted a layer of paint on her face, began to harden imperceptibly.

"That's right!" Yuanzi answered, "When I was on the phone with Lan, he landed lightly on the window of my room... It was like a god coming down to earth! I was shocked!"

"And this kind of thing." She tilted her head, reached out and rolled up the bow tie on her chest with her fingers, "What happened?"

Yuanzi leaned on Lan's shoulder intoxicated, showing a soft look all over.

"Of course it's to snatch me from Ah Zhen~"

"What, what?"

"His voice is very gentle! He also said that he stopped to trim his feathers!" In Lan's helpless eyes, Yuanzi finally started to ask questions after stating a lot of Kidd's points, "By the way, he also brought a bet. It's an appointment. If he can steal the "Emerald Emperor", he will ask the Suzuki Zaibatsu to exchange a work of art under his name. "

Kidd's goal is Pandora, logically speaking, he should not be interested in art other than gems.Is Sonoko lying, or Kaito has another purpose... No matter which side it is, the current Airu has no right to ask.But she still silently took out her phone and began to rummage through the chat interface with Kaito.

After she sent a message, she smiled again and began to listen to Lan and Yuanzi's conversation.It is said that Sonoko's boyfriend, Kyogoku Makoto will join the guard of the gem today, and Airu will also see him.

I don't know if it's because Kidd's security formation is often mixed with ordinary people like Conan and White Horse Detective. Sonoko and the others take it for granted, and Airu is a little bit embarrassed...

...But it must be strange to entrust the protection of gemstones to a high school student! !

×××××××××××××

The Grand Museum of the Suzuki Zaibatsu was built in a grand manner in order to stand out among the many similar exhibition halls in Shimono.Airu just wanted to come here for a walk, so when he saw the luxurious castle-like exterior, he raised his phone and started taking pictures.As a current female high school student, she also relies on social networking sites to the same extent as ordinary people, and the photo-sharing website in her own name is still updated from time to time.Forgive the petty vanity of this young girl.

Yuanzi led them into the museum. Of course, there was no need to buy a ticket. They just entered through the VIP passage and were taken directly to the "Emerald Emperor" exhibition.

"...That's really true."

After Airu and Ran looked at each other in blank dismay, their gazes returned to Gem in unison.To be precise, it is the person with the jewel.

Makoto Kyogoku was wearing a Taoist uniform, sitting cross-legged on top of the display glass cabinet with his back straight and straight, without squinting.Jiroji Suzuki's ideas are getting more and more novel, and it is really difficult to evaluate.However, it is completely different from Ai Liu's imagination. Kyogoku wears glasses. He is tall but well-proportioned. He has no scary muscles, and he doesn't look fierce in the physical education department.He always looked at the guests around him seriously, and occasionally looked away shyly when he glanced at the garden.

……

…………

(……so cute!)

This is Ai Liu's straightforward thoughts.

Kidd's notice letter stated that it was ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and when the museum closed, after the tide of people gradually left the museum, Jiro Kichi and Sonoko's parents entered the exhibition hall, and Kyogoku finally came down from the glass cabinet, and Everyone said hello.

"Miss Sonoko often talks about you, please give me your advice." Kyogoku bent down and bowed to Airu very solemnly, with standard honorifics and a serious tone, which made Airu feel a little better.

"Please don't be too polite. I am the one who is often taken care of by Miss Yuanzi. Please give me your advice."

Airu also bowed, raised her head and saw Kyogoku's bewildered smile, and suddenly felt that the little flowers in her heart began to bloom.I really want to have such a bodyguard by my side!Such a gentle boy, and a master of consecutive victories in the World Conference, it seems that Yuanzi's vision is quite credible at critical moments.

"That's right! Speaking of which, there is a letter from Kidd in our mailbox today, it's for Ah Zhen."

Sonoko, who suddenly remembered, took out a letter from her pocket, and Airu narrowed her eyes when she saw the familiar envelope.

Kyogoku took the envelope and opened it, and the Nakamori Police Department, who led the criminals from Section [-], also gathered here, but found that there was nothing written on the letter paper inside.

"Blank paper!? Does this mean that today's preview doesn't count?"

Ai stayed at the side and whispered: "...Could it be baked ink paper?"

Police Department Nakamori took a look at her, probably thinking that what she said made sense, silently took out a lighter from his pocket and heated the letter paper from below.The eyes of Conan next to her were especially scorching. She responded with an insincere smile.

If I don't occasionally provide small assistance to the police, I feel that Conan will complain.

Last night, Kaito came back late at night again, and in one hand he held a huge plastic bag full of envelopes used for throwing out the garbage, and in the other hand was a whole bag of lemons.When Airu heard the sound of the door opening and came out from the bedroom on the second floor, he was struggling to put things on the dining table.

"Ah! Ai Liu, are you still awake? Then come here and help me."

"What?"

Looking at the quantity of those things, she had a hunch that she was going to be a coolie.

"This was a sudden decision, too, but there were a hundred or so, so I can't handle it all by myself. Anyway, I'm going to squeeze the lemon juice, and you can use it to help me write something on here. Ah, remember to use your left hand. "

"Write something, write what?"

"Hmm——" Kaito's voice, which had already entered the kitchen with lemons, came from far away, especially echoing brightly in the living room late at night, "'Kaito Kidd, invincible! Ants of strength!' or something."

"…………what?"

×××××××××××××

Yesterday, she and Kaito worked overtime until two o'clock in the morning. The one hundred letters were quickly taken to the museum. The Nakamori Police Department ordered someone to bring candles, and Kyogoku opened them one by one for confirmation.What a boring content was written on it, Ai Ru naturally couldn't understand it more clearly. After writing, because there was really nothing to say, she even drew a lot of kaomoji under Kaito's guidance.Although it is regrettable that the works created by the left hand are somewhat complete, the sense of irony is also doubled.

Although being dragged to work as a coolie for a long time, Airu didn't know why Kaito suddenly wanted to toss these things.The Kyogoku in her heart last night was really a big muscular guy, and now seeing such a handsome guy wearing glasses seriously confirming the nonsense they wrote, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"Okay, girls, come with me, let's change clothes." Sonoko's mother, Tomoko Suzuki, took the lead to walk outside the exhibition hall.This time she prepared a few new tailor-made Italian dresses, the only ones in the world, to prevent the female lineup from being replaced by Kidd.

Although Airu knew that Suzuki Jirokichi had always spared no money for Kidd, she didn't expect that it was a family tradition.The cost of the custom-made dress might be enough to buy another gem... With this delicate attitude, she followed Sonoko and Lan to the dressing room.

While changing clothes, Airu finally remembered to check Kaito's reply.The short text reads "Go ask the security guard for a gas mask", and the second line invites her to have dinner together at night, and there is nothing she wants to see.But now she and Kaito can always see each other every day, so she is not in a hurry, and calmly puts the phone back, facing the difficulties of those highly revealing dresses.

"Ailiu, are you still choosing?" Sonoko who had already changed appeared behind her, looking at her expectantly, "No matter which one you wear, it must be very suitable! Hurry up and change!"

"..."

This is probably something that only wealthy daughters who are used to this off-the-shoulder deep-groove style can say.

When returning to the exhibition hall from the locker room, everyone had already put on their gas masks.Kyogoku said that he wanted to guard the gems alone in the exhibition hall, so he drove everyone, including the police, to the corridor outside, and he sat inside waiting for Kidd wearing the "Emerald Emperor".Sonoko said he was going to the bathroom and left first. The tense atmosphere spread in the long and narrow corridor. Police Department Nakamori stared at his watch, fidgeting.

Ailiu squeezed out the pitiful expression of grievance that I hadn't used for a long time, casually grabbed the sleeve of a security guard, choked out a few words of begging and got a spare gas mask.While complaining in her heart about the extreme injustice of today's society, she put on this crystallization of modern civilization bought because of injustice, and stood at the edge of the crowd.

Today, she was completely in the mood of those Kidd fans who stayed outside the museums and waited to watch. In addition, the mobile phone was still in the locker room, so she listened to the countdown from the Nakamori Police Department with empty hands and mind.At the moment when the last sound of "1" disappeared into the air, all the lights in the entire museum suddenly disappeared, and there was not even a gap for moonlight to enter in the windowless corridor, and it was suddenly plunged into darkness.

"Um……?"

She squinted her eyes, and in the absolute darkness, there was something faintly glowing, connected together like a nebula.Before he had time to react, smoke suddenly rose up, and people could not be seen clearly in the originally dark corridor, only the voice of the Nakamori police department suppressed the noisy discussions.

"Calm down, it's his usual anesthetic gas! As long as you have a gas mask, you'll be fine!"

Before the words were finished, there was a sharp impact sound, and those glowing things fell to the ground one after another, this time with a thick sound.

After the eyes gradually got used to the darkness, they could finally recognize the gas masks worn by the security guards.Airu originally planned to take it off to see if there was any on his mask, but after thinking about it carefully, if there was any, it should have been shot down by now.The security officer who was standing next to her slipped and fell to the ground at some point, almost tripping her, she squatted down to look at it... fell asleep.

Not only that, but now the entire corridor is in a mess.Ailiu reached out and touched a few soft legs casually, so scared that she quickly withdrew her hand and retreated to the corner to sit.It seems that Kidd, who will specifically remind her, is showing mercy to her.

In less than 2 minutes, when Airu was trying to push the guard who fell on her to the other direction, crisp footsteps suddenly sounded in the silent corridor, and a figure swayed in front of her. From the corner of the snow-white dress that was vaguely recognizable, it was Sonoko who had just gone to the bathroom.The figure did not stop because of this strange scene, but ran to the entrance of the exhibition hall, knocked on the door and asked Kyogoku, who was staying inside, to open the door and let her in.

Airu got up, carefully avoiding the people on the ground who were immersed in dreams like corpses, and followed her.After finally moving away from the Nakamori Police Department lying in the middle and stacked on top of several security guards, Airu was about to continue approaching the entrance when a small hand grabbed her.

"If I were you, I'd pretend I don't know anything now, and wait outside honestly."

"Conan-kun..."

Conan was wearing a gas mask that he picked up from nowhere, and it was still glowing.Only those eyes were still looking at her seriously.

The scene seemed familiar, but this time Airu didn't forcefully open his fingers, but relaxed her strength obediently, waiting for Conan to let go.

Conan will stop her, which means that the garden she entered just now is indeed Kidd's cross-dressing.That being the case, from Airyu's standpoint, of course he should do nothing.She took two steps back and leaned back against the wall, raising her hands to show that she would not make trouble.

"Wu Yun is prosperous."

"You obviously don't think so."

After Conan complained, he stopped talking nonsense to her, and nimbly bypassed the people lying on the ground, opened the door and entered the exhibition hall.Airu sat down again, staring at the gradually clear ceiling in a daze.What kind of wonderful plot is going on in it at the moment?Ailiu, who had a poor imagination, became sleepy after guessing, and the silent and unchanging environment made people's consciousness more and more blurred.

I'm craving some meat tonight...

×××××××××××××

After rendezvous with Kaito after work, the place where you come is a stylish western restaurant with the theme of Alice in Wonderland.The cute clerk in Alice's dress gave some explanations, handed them two Alice-inspired headbands, and left with a smile on her face.Kaito didn't seem to want to put it on, but urged Airu to put it on with his eyes.

Although she's still wearing her uniform... Forget it, it's just a headband, just put it on.

A life-sized copper-cast poker soldier was staring at them not far away. The seat in the center looked like it was reserved for special use. It was in the shape of a flower bud, wrapped in bright lights, and it was very gorgeous.

"I didn't expect you to bring me to this kind of shop."

Ailiu flipped through the menu and said something casually.The cheapest set meal is more than 3000 yen, which is not like a place that Kaito, who usually has a consumption concept close to ordinary people, would like.

Kaito smiled awkwardly: "Hahaha... this contains my apology."

"Apologize? Why do you want to apologize?"

"I am extremely sorry for entering other girls' dormitories without Airu's permission."

Airu stared blankly at Kaito who lowered his head to the edge of the table to apologize.

"Oh? Do you think you're wrong?"

"Actually, when I saw you send me a message this afternoon asking me "Is it okay to write love on the epitaph?", I really didn't understand what was going on for a moment..."

But it seems that the clear killing intent was completely conveyed to Kaito, and he was so sincere tonight.Thinking about it carefully, I am the only one who knows so many of his personal affairs besides Chikage and Terai who can be regarded as his relatives in a broad sense. people's hearts.

Ailiu had the urge to argue with him for three hours on this point, but thinking about what she was about to tell him, she stopped by touching the only remaining conscience in her chest.

"I'll tell you something, and then we'll be even."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"When Miss Yuanzi came to pick me up today, didn't she come to the door of the house?"

Kaito nodded blankly.

"...Conan-kun was there at that time, and he saw your family's nameplate."

"..."

Airu looked at Kaito who suddenly fell silent with some sympathy, but unfortunately she didn't finish her sentence——

×××××××××××××

Airu listened to Conan's advice and fell asleep after sitting in the corridor for a while.At this time, a low roar accompanied by a strong shock on the ground woke her up.

She subconsciously thought it was an earthquake, stood up while leaning on the wall, and rushed to the entrance of the exhibition hall without thinking too much and opened the door.The dust on her face made her cough uncontrollably, and many fine particles were still floating indoors.In the smoky exhibition hall, two huge pillars broke and fell to the ground. It was probably the sound of these pillars crashing to the ground just now.Conan was standing on the edge of the cool moonlight cast by the open skylight, looking up at the roof.

Airu approached him cautiously.The two supporting pillars were broken, so she wouldn't be surprised even if the roof suddenly collapsed the next moment.

"Conan-kun... why did you die again? How could you even knock down the pillars."

"It's not me! Uh, although I have problems too." Conan coughed lightly, and following his gaze, he seemed to be able to see the corner of a white cloak floating across the roof.

As if to change the subject, he suddenly lowered his voice.It's unclear whether the erratic tone was speaking to Ailiu, or he was asking and answering himself.

"……anyway."

"what?"

"Kidd's surname, I always feel like I've heard it somewhere."

......

Airu looked at Kaito's uncertain face, and sincerely hoped that tonight's dinner would not end up being her invitation to Kaito.

The author has something to say:

Airu: Mr. Kyogoku is handsome and quiet, well-spoken and shy very easily, I think it is very cute.Hey, speaking of which, how did he get on the roof?

Kaito: ...you have no idea how terrifying he is! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Airu didn’t see Kyogoku’s appearance at all, and he had a very good impression of him until the end (laughs)

Sure enough, it is too difficult to finish writing two chapters, the number of words...the number of words...even though I have compressed it a lot, it still doesn't look like a side story at all (hugging head)

If there is an update in a week, it will be that Kaito is jealous (?)

Of course, if not, it’s Gu Gu [.

New article... will open after writing the idea, if you are interested, you can wait >
