Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 88 Kaito's Challenge

Seeing Kaito's reaction, Xiao Ai didn't answer, and hid behind her sister and made a playful grimace at her.

Kaito did not continue to make fun of the little girls, but instead performed a little magic trick in front of them, conjuring two candies out of thin air in his palm and putting them in the hands of the two nieces.

Although it was just a very simple trick, Xiaosaki and Xiao Ai, who were watching closely, were still amazed by the opponent's skillful movements, and thanked each other very politely.

Kaito grinned triumphantly, instead of continuing to play with the two little girls, he turned his head and started chatting with Natsumi, and glanced at Ishino who returned to the counter from time to time.

Ishino could tell that Kaito was going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he came here specially today to find him on something.

So when the siblings were chatting about the same, Ishino took the initiative to talk to Kaito: "Kaito, you seem to be very good at magic tricks, I have some ideas to incorporate magic techniques into dessert art, please help me How about a reference?"

"No problem, feel free to ask any questions, I am professional in magic!" Seeing Ishino noticed his reminder, Kaito asked Natsumi to chat with Aoko for a while, and he followed Ishino into the back kitchen.

Seeing Kaito leaving on his own, Aoko suddenly felt a little cautious, but it seemed that he was gradually relaxed by Natsumi's aura of intimacy...

"Tell me, what can you do with me?" After closing the kitchen door, Shi Ye cut to the chase.

"I'll talk about that later." Kaito didn't answer, but talked about another question that concerned him, "Brother-in-law, cousin, doesn't she know that I'm Kaitou Kid?"

Ishino glanced at him and nodded.

"Sure enough." Seeing the other party's reaction, Kaito suddenly said, "I just said what she said when she caught me last time, it was obviously like reading a line, so you must have taught her to say that Scared me, right!"

"You're not satisfied? Then I'll tell her now that you are Kaitou Kidd..." Ishino made a gesture to open the door and walk out.

"No, I didn't mean that!" Kaito hurriedly stepped in front of the door, waved his hands awkwardly, "Don't talk about that, I'm here today to discuss something with you."

Kaito took out a piece of printing paper from his pocket and handed it to Ishino, "This is the chat record of a magic lovers chat room I participated in on the Internet. Among them, the account called 'Deception Boy' should have belonged to last month because It is rumored that there was an accidental death in a magic show."

"However, not long ago, this account suddenly started to be active again, and proposed to organize an offline party. Now it has been decided to hold the party at the villa of the 'twisty ventriloquist' next weekend. Don't you think it's strange?"

"It's a bit strange, but what does this have to do with me?" Shi Ye scanned the chat records and asked noncommittally.

Kaito thought that the other party would be interested, but unexpectedly, he waited for such an answer. He didn't know how to continue the topic for a while, so he simply broke the jar and said his sincere words: "In short, I lost to you twice before, This time I'm here to challenge you!"

"Taking this opportunity of the magician's offline gathering, let's compare who is the first to discover the true purpose of this 'fraud boy'. The winner can ask the loser to do something for himself, how about it?"

When Ishino heard this, he thought to himself that I haven't figured out any reason to send you, little brother, a tool man, but you're lucky, and you sent it to your door yourself.

But he didn't agree directly, but said with a narrow smile: "Don't you hate detectives, kid? Why did you start working as a detective this time, and you still bet on this?"

Kaito was startled when he heard this, and thought how could you even know this, but he still pretended to retort calmly: "Who said I hate detectives, I suddenly became interested in detectives recently, is there a problem?"

"No problem, but why should I accept your challenge, besides, I don't have anything to ask for your help now." Ishino still didn't care.

Seeing that Ishino refused to accept the move, Kaito, who was very competitive, felt that he had punched cotton. He thought that the brother-in-law who provoked him twice should also be a competitive person, but he did not expect to be so buddhist.

Seeing Kaito's expression of eating a fly, Ishino didn't intend to continue teasing him, and after thinking for a while, he took the initiative to say: "Well, you promise me a request now, and I will accept your challenge."

"What's the request? If it's too much, it's fine." Kaito was overjoyed at first when he heard the other party's initiative to speak, but he hesitated when he heard that the other party still had demands.

"Don't worry, it should be a very simple matter for you." Shi Ye said his request with a smirk on his face, "You just need to ask Qingzi to agree to work with me during the winter vacation."

"Ah? What kind of request is this? Are you short of manpower here?" Kaidou didn't expect the other party to make such a request, and asked a little strangely, "Besides, why Qingzi?"

"This is for your own good." Ishino gave Kaito a meaningful look, and joked, "I think Qingzi has a talent for making desserts, if she likes making these, the days when you are forced to eat fish should be greatly reduced Bar?"

Hearing this, Kaito ignored the fact that the other party knew his own weakness of fear of fish, and was full of thoughts about how to let Aoko stay and work...

When the two came out of the back kitchen, Qingzi was putting a macaron into his mouth and sighing happily.

Although Aoko denies being Kaito's girlfriend, Natsumi can see that the relationship between the two is actually no different from that of lovers, so she is very concerned about this girl who may become a sister-in-law.

Seeing Ishino winking at him after he came back, Xia Mei walked to his side, and the two whispered a few words.

After hearing Ishino's thoughts, Natsumi smiled knowingly, walked up to Qingzi, and asked Qingzi if she wanted to help in the store during the winter vacation, and learn how to make desserts along the way.

Having just tasted the most delicious dessert in his life, Qingzi was really moved, thinking that it would be great if he could entertain everyone with the dessert he made himself at the class reunion.

Seeing Aoko's consulting gaze, Kaito put his hands behind his head and said, "I think it's pretty good. Anyway, you are still at home during the winter vacation. Working here can not only earn pocket money, but also learn about Natsumi. Sister's craftsmanship kills two birds with one stone."

In fact, from the contact just now, Aoko has already developed a lot of good feelings for Natsumi, and since she is Kaito's cousin, she has the idea of ​​getting along with her, but she thinks that during the holiday, Kaito has to have lunch by herself. Don't worry, I hesitated for a while.

Seeing that Qingzi was about to agree, but he just missed the door, Xia Mei walked to her side with a smile, and whispered something in her ear, Qingzi blushed suddenly, nodded and agreed.
