Baijiu wasn't there, but Kaito was.
Kuroba Kaito on the side was keenly aware of the conversation between the two, and immediately came over, "Huh? What? You seem to be talking about the puppet master? What happened to the puppet master?"
Anko looked at Kuroba Kaito, who had come closer to Chi Chi out of curiosity, and blushed quickly, "What, what, what, what! Don't eavesdrop on the conversation between girls, you big pervert!"
"
With that said, Anko slapped Kaito away.
On the other side of Kuroba Kaito, Aoko looked at this scene with a smile and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so cute, Anko~"
Baijiu teleported to Shirai Zuiko because Hongzi seemed to want to talk to him: "..."
Isn’t the plot here a bit strange? It's obviously a movie about four people, but they don't have names.
But then, Baijiu noticed the golden spider web and the huge metal mechanical spider in the stands.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
What, it turned out that I came to see the [Spider] exhibition...
Speaking of which, last time I used "Butterfly Drunk" to trick this guy and only let him sleep for two days and one night, wasn't it a bit insufficient? Now that we have met this time, let’s do it again, right?
It’s no wonder that he, a puppet master, has to target an ordinary person. After all, this guy is called [Spider], so it shouldn’t be too much for him to vent his anger a little, right?
After making up her mind, Shirai Zuiko patted Anko on the shoulder, "Anoko."
Anko, who was fighting with Kuroba Kaito, turned around angrily and glared at Shirai Zuiko, "What? Since your master is not here, don't talk to me casually!"
?
Shirai Zuiko tilted her head somewhat differently: "I'm here~"
Anko suddenly froze, and then immediately realized how embarrassed her current image was for her profession as a witch. She instantly threw away Kaito, who was being pulled by her collar, and sat up straight, very ladylikely. He coughed, pretending that nothing had happened just now, and turned to talk to Shirai Suiko gracefully.
"Ara, you're here. You were so rude just now, ohhhhh~" Hongzi raised her hand to cover her mouth and smiled gracefully, "But you didn't come here without saying hello to the host." My behavior is not very decent either~"
Oh, a rebel general?
Shirai Zuiko raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Are you talking about my behavior, little witch?"
As we all know, puppet masters are a group of guys whose souls are immortal and whose lives will last forever. Maybe this guy looks like a young shota, but maybe there is a thousand-year-old monster inside playing the role of a shota?
No one can know how long a puppet master lives.
Therefore, the seniority of the puppet master in the circle, whether he is a new puppet master or not, will be very high.
Therefore, it is no surprise that, strictly speaking, Baijiu can certainly be regarded as the predecessor of Hongzi.
It's just unclear whether this senior's identity plays a big role.
After all, the witch is good at attacking, but the puppet master is only good at fighting.
Unfortunately, the only witch left in this world is Anko, and she is a young high school girl who grew up in Japan, a country that values seniority. When it comes to the knowledge of red magic, she may have mastered a lot, but when it comes to some of the unspoken rules in this circle, Hongzi has only a smattering of knowledge and has no clue.
Therefore, Hong Zi was fooled by the liquor, and the force she pretended on her face showed cracks for a moment, and then it turned out to be nothing, "Oh, that's not what happened! Oh, hehe... that... Why did Mr. Puppet Master come here suddenly?”
Kaito was eavesdropping: "...?"
Why does it sound like this Shirai Zuiko, who is usually called to drink and looked down upon by Anko, suddenly has a higher status than Anko? What is the profession of a puppet master? Is it the kind of puppet master he knows who manipulates puppets with silk threads wrapped around his hands? Probably not...after all, it is a profession that can make witches bow...
But...if Shirai Seiko's identity is really such a powerful profession, why do Anko usually look down on Shirai Seiko? Is it an act? No, no, no, he used Kaitou Kid's honor as a guarantee. Hongzi's acting skills would never be so good that he could be fooled.
Speaking of which... From the beginning, Shirai Sukuko-san seems to be... more cheerful than usual... There are more micro-expressions and small movements... Her personality seems to be less dull, which can make people feel " "Her attention is all here at the moment", instead of her usual indifference to the things around her...
How strange... Could it be a dual personality? This personality is the puppet master, isn't the usual one?
After thinking for a long time, Kaito managed to come up with an explanation.
But the conversation over there would not stop because of Kaito's contemplation, and now the topic of leaving was brought up.
"In that case, I'll leave. If you want to contact me again in the future, just tell Zuizi and I'll be back as soon as I'm free."
"Well..." Hongzi smiled elegantly and humbly, and in her heart she began to urge Baijiu to leave quickly!
Really, the introduction of the puppet masters in the book was very casual, which made her think that the witch and the puppet master were equals, but she didn't expect that they were actually senior and junior!
I will never call a puppet master randomly again!
A faint smile that could be called a loving smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Shirai Zuiko's mouth. Kaito's eyes widened when he saw it. Then, she raised her hand and touched Anko's head, " Goodbye, my lovely junior~"
Hongzi:!
!
Kaito:!
!
Aoko: Oops...
The next moment, Shirai Zuiko returned to his expressionless face and looked at the shocked trio calmly. He took back his hand as if nothing had happened, and said without any fluctuation in his tone, "The show is over, are you leaving?"
…
Backstage, the handsome blond guy was sitting in the lounge, browsing the Internet on his mobile phone, watching with satisfaction the reports about his performance that had just sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, with a smile on his face, thinking about this wave. How much powder can it increase?
Outside the door, a tall, slender figure leaned against the door, his head lowered, his long, smooth black hair hanging vertically on his chest, a cigarette in his mouth, and a smile on his lips.
He raised his hand, held the cigarette between his index and middle fingers, and took the cigarette away from his thin lips. The gray-white smoke slowly flowed out of his mouth, falling gently and softly to the ground, and then smoothly. Following the flowing air, it slipped into the crack of the door, like a graceful butterfly, flapping its wings and approaching the ignorant blond man close to the ground.
The butterflies got closer and closer, became more and more transparent, and then dispersed silently.
Unconsciously, the low laughter that had sounded in the room from time to time disappeared, and the room became completely quiet. The blond man leaned on the sofa and slept peacefully...
