Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"My name is Kuroba Kaito. Twenty minutes ago, I was in a hotel room being molested by my fiancée who promised to spend my life with me and a magic girl who coveted my body. Now, twenty minutes later, I will be chased by a tiger as big as three men on the roof of a house."

Not knowing who he was explaining the situation to, Kuroba Kaito told the void about his current situation with a serious face and added the last sentence.

"The worst thing is that it seems to be hungry."

Actually, Kuroba Kaito is not afraid of animals, except fish. However, a hungry guy like this might be difficult to deal with. In order to avoid being served as dessert in the tiger's stomach, he ran around aimlessly.

He found that the closer he ran to the back of the house, the closer the tiger chased him, and the slower it ran as he moved forward. Kaito realized that this tiger was very intelligent, and was quite like a guardian dog.

"Hey, can we make a deal? I'll buy you food and you let me go."

The sound of teeth chattering came from behind. This was Yinghu rejecting him. After being knocked down in the forest by Tiejian and brought to Feng's house to live a life where there was a pile of food placed in front of the nest every day when he opened his eyes, Yinghu had only loyalty in his heart.

Realizing that there was no way to get rid of the tiger just by running on the roof, and that there was a risk of being pounced on by the tiger even with a hang glider due to the height of the house, Kuroba Kaito looked down at his feet as he ran.

【So we can only start from the bottom. 】

He tapped the sole of his shoe hard, estimated the position, and then stomped his leather shoes, which were flashing blue electricity, through the roof. The whole thing fell down with a whoosh, and successfully left the tiger on the roof.

A tiger cannot pass through a hole that can allow a person to fall into it. Shadow Tiger put his head against the hole, with a hesitant expression on his lazy face, as if he was considering whether it was more profitable to destroy the house and catch the thief or to watch the thief run away.

If the house was destroyed, even if the thief was caught, his after-dinner snack would probably be taken away. Anyway, no one saw it letting the intruder run away, so it might as well give up.

After all, the tiger is not a canine. Although it is loyal in its heart, the iron sword is not with it.

Shadow Tiger's steel whip tail swayed in the air. While he was struggling, Kidd had disappeared into the house below. He was forced to make a decision and prepared to return to his nest to enjoy the ten-inch low-sugar egg cake tonight.

"Oh, what did I just see? Tiejian's good friend actually let the bad guy who broke into his house go!"

A cold shout came from behind, scaring Shadow Tiger so much that his hair stood on end. He immediately turned around and saw the dark-skinned man looking at him with a smile.

"Wearing a mask is so troublesome." Yuji tore off the mask on his face and looked at his black hands, feeling helpless: "It's even faded."

Apparently the latest disguise prop materials are a bit out of date.

There are no spots or hair on his fair face. After using the cosmetics given by Vermouth, he no longer grows a beard. After learning the voice-changing skills of the Hei Yu family, his Adam's apple is no longer prominent. It is not an exaggeration to say that he looks like a girl.

Yinghu only felt a fragrance coming from the opposite side. It was not the food that attracted him, but he just felt that the boy was friendly. So he recalled what he had just said, and walked to Yuji with his paws pointed in a flattering manner.

It was indeed a feline. Seeing Yinghu circling around him and looking at him with clear eyes, and trying to bring its big head close to his hand, Yuuji patted the tiger's head.

"Kageko, you don't want Tiejian to know what happened just now, do you?"

Tiger froze and looked at Yuuji in disbelief, as if he couldn't understand why this man would say such words to him.

"But Tiejian and I are good friends, so I have to help you fix your mistakes."

The tiger immediately nodded in agreement.

"That guy just now came for the sword. We must protect it before he finds it. The Wind God Sword is on Tie Jian, and the Moon God Sword seems to be in the possession of Mr. Feng Lei Zang. Only the Thunder God Sword is unguarded."

Yuuji's eyes sparkled brightly: "If we can keep the Thunder God Sword safe, you will be the best partner for Iron Sword."

Obviously Shadow Tiger was persuaded. It bent its hind legs, stood up its upper body, bent its back, and its head was at the same height as Yuuji.

"Kagetora, can I trust you?"

The tiger immediately raised his right palm, closed his eyes, and drew a circle on his chest with his left hand. This is called loyalty.

"Okay, then take me to the sword room of the Thunder God Sword." (End of this chapter)
