People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 253 How is this not magic?

Today is an unhappy day for Kuroba Kaito.

The reason was simple. He was performing magic tricks to amuse Qingzi at school.

He didn't get the right balance at once, and as a result, Qingzi got so angry that he picked up the mop and started stabbing.

In the end, the balloon he brought burst and he was forced to stay behind to clean up.

"Well, you asked for it today. Don't do it again next time, idiot."

"Haha, I'll definitely do it next time, definitely do it next time."

Say goodbye to his childhood sweetheart, Aoko Nakamori.

Kuroba Kaito turned to think about his other identity - Kaito Kidd.

A notice was sent out today, saying that the Black Star will be stolen tomorrow, but it’s just a prank.

It's just a test of the security strength of the police and the Suzuki Group this time.

If you really want to steal the Black Star, you have to wait for the memorial meeting on May 20th.

After all, the dark star in the Rice Flower Museum is fake.

(The Suzuki family would definitely not leave such precious black pearls lying around.)
(It is most likely in the body of a member of the Suzuki family...)
The ordinary high school student walked and thought.

If theft is committed on a cruise ship, it should normally be done by water.

But he stayed away from water routes, so he decided to take a risk and deploy the hang glider.

It is said that the famous detective Kogoro Mori who went to Shikoku also returned to Tokyo three days ago to work on this matter.

Although I don't know how strong Maori Kogoro is, but...

The Phantom Thief steals treasures in a spectacular way and is a creative artist.

The detective will only follow the thief and nitpick, and is just a critic.

Tick, tick, tick.

Walking all the way to the door of his house, Kuroba Kaito took out the key and wanted to open the door out of habit.

Suddenly he frowned, realizing that something seemed to be wrong.

Although the door lock had not been tampered with, a card was stuck in the crack of the door.

(Hmm, a black card? Who did that? It shouldn’t be a prank by Grandpa Terai.)
(Could it be that the mysterious black organization has found its way here?)
Kuroba Kaito frowned.

One of the reasons why he transformed into Kaito Kid was to lure this organization out.

After all, the accident that happened to his father Toichi Kuroba might have been caused by the mysterious organization.

However, before Kuroba Kaito could examine it further, the card fell off by itself.

It fell to the ground and he subconsciously half squatted down to check the contents.

There was something incomprehensible written on this black card.

[Kaito Kidd, I heard that you claim to be able to crack all magic]

[As a black magician, I would like to ask you a question or two]

[Look behind you, please crack the magic trick I am using now]

[The name of this magic is——————High-speed movement]

Great magic high speed movement?
Kuroba Kaito blinked.

What is this? Who is the black magician?
What do you mean by look behind me...?
call out.

The sound of wind suddenly came from behind.

He subconsciously turned his head away, and his poker face was instantly broken.

What is this thing? Why does it move with an afterimage?
This, this is the magic of high-speed movement?

Kuroba Kaito's face changed drastically, he turned his hand, and the door opened instantly.

Before the black afterimage approached, he had already entered the entrance hall.

Just as I was about to close the door, I saw a hand pressing on the edge of the door.

"Here's Johnny!"

The face with the half-covered mask was leaning against the crack of the door.

He even gave a not-so-friendly smile.

(What kind of magician is this? Is this magic?)
(This doesn’t seem to be magic, it’s just that his physical fitness is too strong???)

As the son of a magician, there is no need to say much about Kuroba Kaito's magic skills.

He only needed to take a quick glance to confirm that Xiang Yuanguang did not have any magic props at all.

It’s impossible that the opponent’s shoes have some kind of electric shock that increases speed.

Without thinking, Kuroba Kaito ran straight to the window on the other side.

(You can’t enter the secret door now, otherwise all of Kaito Kidd’s equipment will be exposed.)
(As long as I can get to the shopping street... he will never be able to find me.)
(I will contact Grandpa Terai later to find out the origins of this black magician.)
He quietly reached his hand inside his school uniform, waiting for the moment when the black magician appeared behind him like a ghost.

call out!
Kuroba Kaito's poker gun fired rapidly, ejecting several poker cards.

Although the poker gun does not use real bullets, it is definitely not without lethality.

Normally, he wouldn't use a poker gun on people, but it's hard to say whether the thing behind is a human.

All in all, if we can force this thing behind to stop for a moment, it will be a success!

(Wait, wait, no way? Are you kidding?)
Kuroba Kaito turned around and widened his eyes.

A few playing cards appeared in the black magician's hand.

He actually threw the playing cards in his hand away.

Then...the poker cards in his hand were cut off by the poker cards shot out by the poker gun???

Fortunately, he shot more than just poker cards...

boom!
A strong light flashed for an instant, followed by a puff of smoke!
At the moment of shooting the poker gun, Kuroba Kaito's other hand had quietly thrown out several smoke bombs.

Plan to use this to escape.

But at this moment, I heard the phone ringing, and then the sound of the call being connected.

"...A pound of pears! I have seen through all of his tricks!"

Then, Kuroba Kaito heard the voice of the Black Magician.

There was no time to think about why this guy answered the phone.

The strong wind that followed blew away all the smoke in an instant!
It revealed Kuroba Kaito himself, with half of his body already flipped out of the window.

"Kaito Kidd, you can't leave. Look outside the window. Someone is waiting for you."

The black magician simply stood there at this moment, not moving a muscle.

This sentence immediately shocked Kuroba Kaito again.

Although he already knew his identity was exposed from the black notice letter from the other party.

But even though you know it, it's still surprising to hear it from the other person's mouth.

He quickly turned his head to look out the window and saw Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was still wearing sunglasses and headphones.

"…Someone is waiting for me? No, someone is waiting for you, right?"

In an instant, Kuroba Kaito thought of a way to escape.

Without saying a word, he climbed over the window, and several smoke bombs fell from the back of his school uniform.

A strong light burst out instantly, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Although the smoke was dispersed by strong wind the next moment.

However, the new situation that has emerged is really hilarious.

Because... there were two identical Nanatsuki Koshimizu standing outside the window.

"You completed the disguise in less than a second?"

There was a hint of surprise in Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.

However, he didn't need to figure out who was real, he just had to say a word.

"Are you really Nanatsuki Koshimizu?"

The real Nanatsuki Koshimizu hummed with interest.

On the other side, Kuroba Kaito nodded in confusion.

The next moment, the invisible heart lock had already wrapped around Kuroba Kaito's body.

"……Um?"

The black magician was already standing in front of him, speaking in a rather kind voice.

"Kaito Kidd, let's talk about the Black Star."

"What are you talking about, I..."

Kuroba Kaito, who was still being stubborn, quietly retreated and was about to throw two more smoke bombs.

Then he climbed over the wall and ran away, only to see a few more playing cards in the black magician's hand.

This time, he saw clearly that the edges of these playing cards were inlaid with iron sheets.

That's not just an ordinary magic prop...it's a real weapon.

"Hey, can we reconcile...?"

Kuroba Kaito said with a wry smile.

　4/5, there is one more chapter that will probably be posted in the early morning
