Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 405 Flame Escape Magic
  "……To shut up."

It's Baishui's voice.

In the darkness, Kuroba Kaito heard Shirasui's voice and felt it was strange yet familiar.

The reason why it is unfamiliar is that it is obviously the voice of a child. It has not gone through the voice-changing period and is a bit childish.

Familiarity is because Baishui is clearly in the position of 'a white peacock who is dragged by the wings to pick up customers by unscrupulous staff', 'a civilian girl who is robbed and has to respond to bullies from time to time', 'who is happily rubbed by a blue-eyed Erha' , it is difficult to be silent, but you still have to speak, otherwise Erha will happily pretend to be allowed, and more confidently press his nose and face, etc., which are similar to each other.

Just ...

"So I've been like this since I was a child?" Kuroba Kaito reflected on himself for a few seconds, "That really deserves a beating."

Although it is not yet clear what happened, there is a young Baishui, who is undoubtedly a child.
  He couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder I'm so skilled."

It turned out to be a habit developed since childhood.

Young Baishui's voice sounded again: "...I ignored you for twelve minutes and thirty-six seconds."

It sounded like he was having a conversation with someone.

He must be talking to the young Kuroba Kaito, because the young Shiraizu didn't speak. He was sitting at a table seriously. He could vaguely see a bit of black dress. His back was straight and his posture was very tense. tight.

His voice was a little low, and his speaking speed was a little slow. He sounded a little slow, as if he was in hibernation, with a little sluggishness.

Probably the young Kuroba Kaito who was talking to him was too cheerful and wasn't listening at all, so Shiraisui's voice was very low, like a 'white peacock forced to receive guests'.

Kuroba Kaito simply reflected for two seconds.

"You are quibbling," the young Baishui said again, "...don't kiss it next time."

He sounded almost frowning, "Rabbits have dirty ears."

As if remembering something, he added urgently, "The same goes for cat hair."

"No kissing."

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

Is this an attitude of rejection?
  Some rejections make people fearful upon hearing them, and they never dare to offend again. Some rejections are like fishing, making restless guys eager to try.

Shiraisui's rejection at this time was the latter. His tone sounded like if the young Kuroba Kaito deliberately kissed a rabbit or a cat, he would be angry and silent, and he would only be silent for ten minutes at most. Ignoring Kuroba Kaito again made him feel like he was being bullied.

Kuroba Kaito skillfully conducted his third self-reflection and made a small guilty protest, "It's not entirely my fault, right?"

Who can resist bullying a serious biological brother?
  Although he is not a biological brother, rounding it off, he is almost the same.

The young Bai Shui spoke again and responded simply, "Yeah."

I don't know what the young Kuroba Kaito said, but his reluctance suddenly soared, and his low, inexplicably low voice suddenly sped up, "No!"

"If you are kissed by your mother, you will come online!"

"Well, the magic show has begun." He actually apologized, "I'm sorry,"

"Next time, I will work with you to organize props for your father."

A beam of light lit up in the deep darkness, as if something was surging, and the light illuminated Kuroba Toichi in the center of the stage.

Black Feather Bandit smiled politely. He lowered his head, put his hand on his chest, and performed a magician's etiquette. The light shone on the tall magic hat, changing a shadow on his face.

The moment he raised his head, his eyes seemed to look over, and there seemed to be some kind of luster inside that flickered for a moment, but it soon passed and disappeared completely as he opened his mouth to welcome the audience present.

"Good evening, gentlemen and ladies," Kuroba Toto smiled gentlemanly, "It's been a long time since I saw a familiar audience in Tokyo. I hope I can give you a perfect performance today."

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

Yes……

It was the show about the fire incident.

Kuroba Kaito became quiet. The vague uneasiness and anxiety he had felt since he fell into darkness and could not hear the voice of high school student Shiraizu suddenly calmed down, as if all the wrinkles in his clothes were ironed out with an iron.

He looked calm, but he was still warm just after he left.

After a while, when the cold had subsided, he slowly persuaded: "Dad,"

"I advise you not to go too far."       "Just be a human being."

Kuroba Kaito was in a state of amnesia, and all the existence of Shirasui in his memory was gone, so he did not immediately recognize that this was the last magic show. In his remaining memory, he was sitting in the audience watching it. Rarely, he remained quiet. He was sitting in the audience and watching, not having the slightest impression of the exchange just now.

But at the moment of recognition, he fully understood why his young self would go so far, like a rampaging blue-eyed Erha. Even though Bai Shui had been forced into a corner, he still had to proudly rub his nose and face against him. .

...because the woodpecker incident had just passed.

Because Bai Shui had just witnessed a forest fire not long ago, he hurriedly sent Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko back, and then went back and witnessed the tragic death of his parents. Amidst the long sound of woodpeckers eating, he covered his wounds and stood alone. One by one, they licked the snow water soaked into the cabinet and spent the longest dark moment in their lives.

He couldn't stay in the corner, he had to come out, even if he was bitten on the arm and pulled out.

The young Kuroba Kaito was bullying others, kicking his nose and face, grabbing his companion's hand unfamiliarly, smiling nonchalantly, and using force to pull his important companion who must never be lost out of a dark corner.

And at this moment, his father, who had held up the sky for him, passed away, in front of everyone, on a dazzling stage.

Under the watchful eyes of Kuroba Kaito and Shiraizu, he died due to the failure of the fire escape magic.

This is truly a nightmare.

It was so bad that even if he didn't remember it completely, there were only vague memory fragments that did not exist, and the scene of Kuroba Toichi's death was as impressive as a close-up, Kuroba Kaito shuddered a little, and made a serious statement. Advice, "Be human,"

"……real."

At least don't say goodbye in silence.

At least not on a bright stage.

At least not after the young Kuroba Kaito said something like, "You didn't even accompany me to organize the props for my dad."

At least not in front of white water.

At least not now.

……

The lights on the stage dimmed and then came back on. Only a single beam of light was on alone. The Black Feather Bandit stood under the light, as if he was facing thousands of troops alone.

In the surrounding darkness, something crystal clear began to spread, like pearls pressed into a line.

It's spider silk.

Black Feather Robber didn't seem to notice at all. He performed wonderful magic tricks on the stage. He easily used pigeons and rabbits to startle cheers from the audience, and then used a large living box to push the cheers up. There was a huge wave.

The whole world seemed to be cheering.

Cheers for the great magician Kuroba Toichi, and cheers for Kuroba Kaito's father.

The cheers seemed to rise more than ten feet above the sea, and then suddenly shot down, waves crashing onto the beach.

It’s a cheer any son would be proud of his father.

Amidst the cheers, Kuroba Kaito felt that his current child's body had straightened up a little more, and he was staring intently at the stage, staring at the Kuroba thief from a distance.

The voice of young white water sounded.

He said, "Well, he's very handsome."

He said: "...No, it's your father."

He said: "He is very worried about you. You have had a fever for too long before."

He said, "I'm sorry."

He said: "From the beginning to now, Uncle Heiyu has looked over six times. Did you say something to him?"

He said: "Don't play pranks on me, you have three minutes to tell the truth."

He said: "...Okay, I believe you."

He said: "The next performance is the fire escape magic, right?"
