"Ah~~~"
In the classroom of Grade B of Ekoda High School, Kuroba Kaito leaned on the desk and let out a long yawn. He looked tired, but his eyes were full of excitement.
Some time ago, he accidentally discovered the secret of his father. It turned out that his father, Kuroba Toichi, was actually the legendary Kaito "Kid". Moreover, his father was not dead, but disappeared after a conflict with a mysterious organization seven years ago. .
Thanks to the sudden appearance of "Cat's Eye", if "Cat's Eye" hadn't suddenly appeared and set off a "Phantom Thief Craze" in Tokyo, he would not have been interested in the Phantom Thief "Kid" who is as famous as "Cat's Eye", so he asked casually The matter of "Kid" about "Kid" caused the panic of Terai Khonosuke, his grandfather who had been taking care of him, which made Kuroba Kaito suspicious of Terai Khonosuke.
After returning home, Kuroba Kaito accidentally discovered the secret room on the wall where his father had taken photos, and there he discovered the secret that his father was the Phantom Thief "Kid".
After having the evidence, Kuroba Kaito immediately went to Terai Kyonosuke, who had a strange look on his face when he mentioned "Kid", to ask about his father's affairs. Terai Kyonosuke could not hide it and could only confess to Kuroba Kaito that Kuroba Kaito The matter of Hatoichi also informed Kuroba Kaito of Kuroba Toichi's speculation that he might not be dead.
This made Kuroba Kaito very excited and wanted to find his father. However, Terai Kinosuke didn't know much about Kuroba Toichi's disappearance. He only told Kuroba Kaito that before Kuroba Toichi disappeared, He had a bad relationship with a mysterious organization, so the disappearance of Kuroba Toichi is likely to be related to that mysterious organization. But what is the identity of the mysterious organization, how to find them, and what is their purpose for targeting "Kid", none of Terai Huangnosuke knows.
Without a clear clue, Kuroba Kaito thought of a trick to "lead the snake out of the hole" and wanted to pretend to be "Kid", no, to become the second generation of "Kid". As long as "Kid" returns to the world, then the assassination of Kuroba before Wouldn't Pirate One's mysterious organization come to your door on its own?
However, this idea was fiercely opposed by Terai Huangnosuke.
The life and death of the Kuroba thief is unknown. If Kuroba Kaito shows up again and causes trouble, how can Terai Kinosuke be worthy of the master of the bandits, and how can he be worthy of Mrs. Chikage?
Being entangled by Terai Khonosuke, Kuroba Kaito could only discuss it with Terai Khonosuke and wait until he had reached the level of "proficiency" in light kung fu.
Yes, Qinggong.
In those days, the Phantom Thief "Kid" was able to come and go without a trace and succeed frequently. In addition to his extraordinary magic skills as a world-class magician, the two magical skills he learned from the Central Plains when he was young - Disguise and Qinggong - were also indispensable. without.
Kuroba Kaito has mastered the art of disguise, and as long as the size difference is not too big, he can quickly disguise himself as anyone he has ever seen, regardless of gender.
As for Qing Gong, he has gradually reached the "proficient" state of "walking on water", but he is not yet proficient, and he cannot succeed every time. Once his mood fluctuates, he will fail. This Qing Gong is even better than magic. Difficult to practice.
But he has finally figured out the trick. As long as he works harder, Kuroba Kaito believes that with his intelligence and intelligence, he will soon be able to reach the state of "walking on water" proficiently, and even reach the legendary "walking on water" level in his lifetime. It is not impossible to achieve the realm of "treading water with slight traces".
"Did you watch it after you went back last night? I'm right, that Phantom Thief is so handsome!"
"Yes, he's super handsome! Ahhhhh, what should I do? I feel like I will never be able to find a boyfriend in the future. My aesthetics have suddenly improved, and I won't be able to look at other men anymore!"
"Me too, he's so handsome!"
Just when Kuroba Kaito was thinking about intensifying his practice at night and striving to completely consolidate the state of "walking on water" as soon as possible, the exaggerated chatter of two girls in the class reached Kuroba Kaito's ears, which made him The corner of Kuroba Kaito's mouth couldn't help but curl up with a hint of pride.
Although Terai Kinosuke had promised to wait until his Qinggong reached the level of "walking on water" before making his official debut as "Kid", in order to prevent his professional abilities from appearing raw when he debuted as "Kid", Kuro Yu Kaito still carried out several "rehearsals" - sneaking into several art museums to steal the artworks inside, and then sending the artworks back to the art museums the next day, well, he paid for the shipping costs.
Although this behavior did not bring any financial losses to the art museum, more than that, it attracted many good-hearted tourists to visit the stolen art museum, which brought a lot of traffic to those art museums, making the owners of the art museum happy. Although they were not ear-to-ear, they made the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department very angry, because they were reported by the news media and newspapers as "trash" and "tax thieves", and they were scolded.
But what can they do? In order to prevent his behavior from being related to "Kid", Kuroba Kaito did not send a notification letter to the art museum in advance. Without a notification letter as a reminder, various art museums, art galleries, and jewelry stores in Tokyo There are so many, can they hold on one by one? Don’t we need to arrest other criminals?
If you can't prevent it in advance, then arrest people afterwards!
But the problem is that Kuroba Kaito sent the stolen art back the next day. With the efficiency of the Metropolitan Police Department in handling cases, the case has just been filed here and they are still organizing people to form a task force. The art museum is just Already called to withdraw the case.
It's not that the Metropolitan Police didn't use enough force, but just after clenching the fist and punching it out, they found that the target had disappeared and the fist hit the empty space. This feeling was not to mention how uncomfortable and oppressive it was.
And the news media still pulled out the Metropolitan Police Department and whipped the corpses repeatedly at this moment. It was strange that the people in the Metropolitan Police Department were in a good mood. Anyway, the people from the Investigation Section 2 and Investigation Section 3 of the Metropolitan Police Department had already been arrested by the Criminal Department. The minister was cursing, and Nakamori Aoko was in a very bad mood recently, because her father was the police officer of the second investigation section.
The person who caused all this, Kuroba Kaito, has not yet officially debuted, but he has already gained a lot of fans, which makes Kuroba Kaito, who likes to show off, very proud.
"Let me ask, who is the Phantom Thief you are talking about? Could it be the 'Cat Eye' from some time ago?"
Kuroba Kaito pretended to blend naturally into the conversation of the girls around him.
Because of his handsome appearance, funny words, and amazing magic skills, Kuroba Kaito is very popular among his classmates and even the same students. He is the atmosphere group in the class and can talk to everyone. talk.
"Kaito, you're behind the times, 'Cat's Eye' is a thing of the past! We're talking about another Phantom Thief now!"
A girl who was talking about Kaito smiled and said to Kuroba Kaito.
Yes, because of the failure in the first battle after returning to the world, "Maoyan"'s popularity has dropped rapidly in Japan. Even though "Maoyan" has fought several good battles since then, she has been called the "Queen of the Police" every time. "When Ryoko Yakushiji appeared, "Cat's Eye" couldn't take away anything. With its nemesis, "Cat's Eye" was no longer fragrant.
Well, even the news that "men in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are trash" is almost solid.
"Then who are you talking about?"
Kuroba Kaito asked pretending to be curious, while expecting the girls to give him the answer he wanted.
Although he didn't want to make a name for himself, some nefarious people still nicknamed Kuroba Kaito the "Fairy Phantom Thief" because of his behavior of stealing artworks for one night and returning them the next day. It is very similar to a certain mischievous goblin in foreign legends, so it is temporarily called the "goblin thief". It is somewhat famous and is often mentioned on the Internet.
Well, although he is not as handsome as "Kid", as a transitional nickname, it is still acceptable!
Kuroba Kaito thought with some pride after knowing that he had such a nickname.
"Of course I'm talking about..." the girl who spoke said in a long voice.
"Young man loses his beauty by spending time with flowers!" the girl next to her who was talking to her immediately answered.
Before the girl from before could answer, a girl around immediately interrupted: "The handsome man steps on the moon and leaves his scent!"
Then, another girl jumped out: "The handsome thief Ye Liuxiang is famous all over the world!"
"Haha, look at Chu Liuxiang too!"
The two girls who had spoken before immediately started chatting with the two girls who jumped out later. The conversation was very speculative, leaving Kuroba Kaito aside.
"W-what's going on?"
Kuroba Kaito, who had a bunch of black lines on his forehead, said blankly.
The saying "A handsome man loses his beauty when accompanied by flowers, but a handsome thief leaves his fragrance when he steps on the moon", or "A handsome thief leaves fragrance at night, and his prestige spreads all over the world"... These are all the same!
"Don't you know, Kaito?" Nakamori Aoko, who was sitting at the table next to Kuroba Kaito, said, "They were talking about a very popular manga recently. Although it was a short story, only four chapters long, the response was very intense. , and the teacher 'Kasumi Shiko' said that this will be a series and will not end in just four episodes. I am also looking forward to the follow-up!"
"Huh? Comics?" There were more black lines on Kuroba Kaito's forehead, "There are already so many Phantom Thieves in reality, why do you still want to read the Phantom Thieves in comics?"
Because of the reappearance of "Cat Eyes", a "Phantom Thief Craze" was set off in Tokyo for a while. From time to time, some strange thieves with strange names and strange behaviors appeared. It can only be said that the herd mentality in Japan is too serious. Well, even the Phantom Thieves can follow suit.
"But Chu Liuxiang is really handsome!"
Nakamori Aoko put her hands on her cheeks and said: "Chu Liuxiang, the handsome thief, is the handsomest among the thieves. He is handsome, graceful, graceful, resourceful, observant, kind and affectionate, and has a wide range of friends... He is so handsome!" "
"Hey, hey, Aoko, I'm a Phantom Thief. Don't you hate thieves the most?"
After hearing Aoko Nakamori say a lot of complimentary words without gasping for breath, Kuroba Kaito became jealous again, and actually started to feel sour towards a comic character.
"Chu Liuxiang is a thief, it's different!" As the daughter of a police officer, Nakamori Aoko actually started to whitewash a monster thief in the comics. "Chu Liuxiang only takes ill-gotten gains, and all the money is given to those in need." Not only did he not take any of his money, but he also gave away a lot of his own money. I can't get enough of such a thieves!"
"Comics are comics, how can there be such a person in reality..."
Kuroba Kaito became even more sore.
"Hey, if there really is such a monster thief in reality, that would be great..."
Nakamori Aoko sighed.
She is the daughter of a policeman. Although her father protects her very well, Nakamori Aoko is not an idiot. Now that the Internet is so developed, how could she not know anything about the chaos happening in Japan? Not to mention other things, just the cases of "superior nationals" in the past few years are already well known to everyone in Japan.
"Superior citizens" disregard human lives without any punishment, but the victims are bullied. Such incidents have always happened in Japan, just because the mainstream media in Japan are in the hands of capital, even the only one that is not controlled by capital and the government The media NHK has also gradually become afraid to speak out due to financial and political reasons. Now with the rise of self-media, information is no longer completely monopolized by capital, and many dark sides of Japan have been exposed.
It’s ridiculous to say that in the early years when China’s self-media was underdeveloped, domestic public opinion in China was that everything was bad about China and everything abroad was good. However, after the development of China’s self-media, the vision of young people in China has become wider and wider. , the voices that badmouthed the Central Plains have become smaller, and the voices for the revitalization of the Central Plains have become louder and louder every day.
And Japan, which was once free, democratic, equal and wealthy in the eyes of the Central Plains people...
One thing that is even more ridiculous is that the Central Plains is not a democratically elected government, but most young people in the Central Plains are very concerned about the international situation and national policies. They are full of bookish people who give advice and criticize Fang Qiu. However, Japan, as a democratically elected government, Young people have chosen to lie down collectively in politics. They care about which novels and comics will be animated, which idol groups hold live shows where, and which fashion magazines have the most popular outfits. But few people really care. Some things in politics, even if they exist, are only for the second generation of the upper class. It seems that except for them, no one else needs or deserves to talk about politics.
Japan is a country with serious divisions between the upper and lower classes. The lower class wants to challenge the "higher-level citizens", which is as stupid as Don Quixote rushing towards the windmill.
Nakamori Aoko is sometimes glad that her father is a member of the Second Investigation Division, and he only needs to catch thieves, and does not have to face the crimes of those powerful conglomerate officials. Otherwise, she does not know whether her father can bear the condemnation of his conscience. .
Anyway, I'm sure I can't win against those high-ranking chaebol officials. It would be fine if I were just sent to Hokkaido to drink cold air. The worst thing I'm afraid of is that my father suddenly derails, and Nakamori Aoko, who has only her father as a relative, can't bear such a blow.
It is precisely because reality is too depressing that Japanese people always fantasize about heroes or a team of heroes.
Damn it, this guy Qingzi, who used to say how much he hated thieves, is now like this...
Seeing the admiration flashing in Nakamori Aoko's eyes, Kuroba Kaito felt depressed for a while, and then he heard the four girls chatting so happily about a comic character, which made him even more angry.
Wait, isn't it just "The Handsome Thief Chu Liuxiang"? My name of "Fairy Phantom Thief" is not loud enough. When I change my size, I must let you know what a truly outstanding Phantom Thief is!
Kuroba Kaito gritted his teeth and said.
A few days later, following the legendary thief "Cat Eyes", another thief legend, the thief "Kid" who had disappeared for many years, also reappeared. After seven years, he once again sent his notice letter...
