Chapter 217 Silly Child, This is a Good Thing

Chapter 217 Silly Child, This is a Good Thing
"What do you mean?" Kuroba Kaito didn't quite understand what Tachibana Shizuka was thinking, so he asked.

Tachibana Shizuka thought for a moment and asked Kuroba Kaito, "Are you planning to be Kaito Kidd for the rest of your life?"

Being Kaito Kid for the rest of his life? Honestly, Kuroba Kaito has never really thought about it.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about whether I should be Kaito Kidd for the rest of my life, but I have never thought about the future at all.

Regardless of whether he is Kaito Kidd or not, Kuroba Kaito is just a high school student after all. And how many high school students can think so far?

Not to mention high school students, many college students don’t even know what kind of job they will do after graduation.

Kuroba Kaito has never thought about whether he can be Kaito Kidd for the rest of his life.

The opportunity for him to become Kaito Kid was nothing more than an accident, and he engaged in Kaito Kid's activities just to follow in his father's footsteps.

Now the mysterious organization that may have killed his father has appeared, and Tachibana Shizuka's words also made Kuroba Kaito subconsciously start thinking about the future.

I have to say that when he transformed into Kaito Kid, it felt pretty good.

There is no shortage of flowers, applause, and crazy admirers.

But then the face of Nakamori Aoko appeared in Kuroba Kaito's mind. Nakamori Aoko sobbed and tore the image of Kaito Kid to pieces, and then stared at Kuroba Kaito with tears in her eyes.

"Kaito, do you want to be Kaito Kidd for the rest of your life?"

Can he really treat Kaito Kidd as his forever?
Kuroba Kaito knew the answer—he couldn't.

The first generation of Kaito Kid, that is, his father, Kuroba Toichi, his main occupation is a magician, a world-class magician.

Kaito Kidd is just a part-time job besides Kuroba Tou's main job as a magician.

What about Kuroba Kaito? His main job is student, and Kaito Kidd is also his part-time job.

Since it's a part-time job, I definitely can't do it forever. Whether it's for myself or for Nakamori Aoko.

Even Kuroba Kaito cannot become the true Kaito Kid.

How would he face Nakamori Aoko once his identity was exposed? Even with the island nation's public security's endorsement, it could only solve the legal problem.

It doesn't address the core issue at all.

What Aoko Nakamori hates is Kaito Kid. No matter how reasonable, legal and compliant his actions are, her hatred for him remains unchanged.

If Kuroba Kaito and Kaito Kidd were equated, he couldn't even imagine what would happen.

"It still doesn't work." Kuroba Kaito sighed softly, as if he had put down a heavy burden.

"Since Kaito Kidd can't be a Kaito forever, why not consider retiring now?"

Tachibana Shizuka's suggestion was not made casually. He really felt that now was a good time for Kuroba Kaito to retire.

If Kuroba Kaito likes flowers, applause and the attention of the public, he can definitely achieve these by becoming a magician.

Even because Kaito Kidd cannot reveal his identity, this disadvantage is completely applicable to the profession of magician.

As for becoming Kaito Kidd, it was to investigate the cause of his father's death - Tachibana Shizuka knew that Kuroba Kaito's father should not be dead.

Not only is he not dead, he is probably alive and well now. After all, he is a relative of Kudo Yusaku.

In addition, the zoo has now appeared on its own, and they are about to face a big pit that will be brought to them by Tachibana Seiji.

What's there to hesitate about?
In ancient times, there were many people in the martial arts world who wanted to retire but couldn't do it. They were like people who wanted but couldn't get what they wanted.

Now Kuroba Kaito can do this easily, how enviable it is.

As for Kuroba Kaito's loss, it is nothing more than the reputation of Kaito Kidd - by then he will no longer be Kaito Kidd, so does Kidd's reputation matter?
It doesn't matter at all.

"What should I do?" Kuroba Kaito asked Tachibana Shizuka.

"Let Kidd move." Tachibana Shizuka drank the juice in the cup and then put the empty cup on the newspaper.
.
The news that Kaito Kidd had sent out a new warning letter spread quickly, from Osaka to Kyoto and then to Tokyo, and finally the entire island country knew that Kaito Kidd had set his sights on the Suzuki family's things again.

But this time, it was not the Suzuki Group that fought against Kaito Kidd, but the Ooka family in Kyoto.

After all, the "Egg of Memories" is now in the Ooka Museum of Art.

Since we are talking about Kaito Kidd, we have to mention Nakamori Ginzo. Our Nakamori police officer is still chasing the traces of Kaito Kidd.

As the saying goes, the smell attracts you.

Before the date of the notice letter was about to arrive, Tachibana Shizuka also had a deep conversation with Ooka Momiji.

In the end, the Ooka Museum of Art, which had originally refused police intervention, agreed to withdraw its security personnel and let the detectives brought by Ginzo Nakamori replace the Ooka Museum of Art's security personnel to guard the "Egg of Memories".
.
The day of action.

"Everyone, be vigilant and be careful. No two people are allowed to separate at a time. If anyone is left alone, immediately apprehend them!"

As usual, Ginzo Nakamori patrolled the art museum and gave instructions to his subordinates.

After being fooled so many times by Kaito Kidd, even a dog would have improved. How much more so a human?
So Nakamori Ginzo's summary of Kaito Kid is that when dealing with Kaito Kid, you must not be alone, do not be alone, do not be alone!
If he is left alone, that bastard Kidd might sneak in and cause chaos among them.

"Yes, Inspector Nakamori!" His subordinates responded loudly to Ginzo Nakamori, and each police officer looked very energetic.

"Come on, come on, it's almost time." A Western-style restaurant near the Ooka Museum of Art was reserved by Sonoko today. The reason for choosing this place was simple: it had the best view of the entire museum.

No matter how Kaito Kidd appears later, you can see him clearly here.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the western restaurant, Tachibana Shizuka, Ran, Hattori Heiji and Kuroba Kaito each held a telescope and were looking around the art gallery attentively.

As for Toyama Kazuha and Ooka Kouyo, the two of them are now focused and only have eyes for each other.

Tachibana Shizuka once thought that if the development process followed this, the ones who would finally achieve the happy ending should be Toyama Kazuha and Ooka Momiji!

Sonoko obviously didn't have the patience to do this kind of long-distance surveillance work, but it didn't matter, because there was "Futaba"'s fun to watch, which made Sonoko less bored.

As the sun slowly sank into the horizon, the Third Kaito Kidd also began his own actions. Yes, that is the Third Kaito Kidd.

This is the certification given personally by Kaito Meguroba Kaito, the second generation of Kaito Kid, which can be regarded as an alternative official certification.

According to Kuroba Kaito, since this person wants to become Kaito Kid, there is no chance for him to become the second generation.

But the second generation Kaito Kuroba can recognize him as the third generation of Kaito Kid. And because Kaito Kid does not distinguish between different generations when he is out in the world, he always uses the name Kid.

Therefore, when they are caught, the crimes committed by both the first and second generations will be added together.

If the arrested third generation has clear evidence that can point out the identities of the first and second generations, then the third generation can still escape punishment.

But if there is no evidence, no confession is not impossible.

After all, it was you who sent the preview letter, and you personally participated in the action. You were dressed in the outfit of Kaito Kidd. Who would believe you if you said you were not Kidd?
"Hey, hey, this is a bit too outrageous." Tachibana Shizuka, who had been observing the main entrance of the Ooka Museum of Art, exclaimed in surprise, attracting Kuroba Kaito and Hattori Heiji to turn their attention to the main entrance of the museum.

Then they made the same sound as Tachibana Shizuka.

What could have surprised these three men? Of course, it was the appearance of our Kaito Kidd III.

There's something wrong with the way it came out.

Kuroba Kaito's Kaito Kidd is dashing, graceful, and captivating. It's the kind of demeanor that would make anyone think, "Wow, this character has a really high B-level!"
But the "Kaito Kidd" who appeared at this time was really hard to describe.

It feels like the difference between the real Kaito Kidd and a low-end, shoddy cosplay. The colors are generally similar, but there is something wrong from top to bottom and from head to toe.

"Of course!" Kuroba Kaito laughed out loud after hearing Tachibana Shizuka's complaints, and then explained to the people present:

“Don’t think that every time I take action it’s like my first time, but in fact, I have to do a lot of preparation before each action.

For example, the weather conditions on the day, the environment of the operation site, and sometimes even the lighting effects need to be considered.

Anyway, every action of Kaito Kidd is a carefully planned performance, otherwise how did Kidd get his perfect image? "

"Careful preparation for every action, sometimes even requiring rehearsals, is the essence of Kaito Kid.

On the contrary, the disguise and voice changing skills are the least important aspects."

Because Kuroba Toichi and Kuroba Kaito are both magicians, they subconsciously treat every action they take as a magic performance.

Since it is a performance, it is only natural to prepare in advance and show the best of yourself to the audience.

Kuroba Kaito didn't know exactly what to do and when for every action, but he knew exactly where to show off in the entire action area and what kind of showoffs to make.

Otherwise, how could it be possible that just by standing anywhere, a strong wind would blow his cloak?
This is all learned by scouting around.

Kuroba Kaito is undoubtedly proud when he talks about Kaito Kid. Putting aside Kid's identity as a criminal, just looking at his performances, there is no doubt that he is a successful magician.

But at this moment, our third generation Kaito Kidd, the famous Mr. Snake, is not so happy.

He was wearing Kaito Kid's pure white suit, and even had a cloak behind him. He looked uncomfortable no matter how he wore it.

Although Snake usually wears suits, can wearing a black suit in the dark be the same as wearing a striking white suit in the dark?

Because the suit was a last-minute find, it didn't really fit Snake. And the monocle.
Snake has always wondered how Kaito Kidd manages to keep his monocle from falling off during strenuous exercise?
Is this scientific?

Even though Snake was full of complaints, he had no choice but to act. In front of the detectives, Snake walked into the art gallery with such brazenness.

He had only taken two steps when he was stopped by a criminal police officer: "Sir, the art gallery is currently closed to the public. Please come back tomorrow."

The detective spoke in a dignified manner and did not discriminate against Snake at all just because he was dressed as Kaito Kid.

But such words were undoubtedly a strong insult to Snake - why did he think I was not Kaito Kid?!
"Hmph! Are you cops blind? I'm Kaito Kidd, and I'm here to steal the Egg of Memory!"

Sinek's speech was all about giving up. Anyway, the action was strongly requested by Scott, and the plan was also made by Scott.

Snake was forced to play the role of Kaito Kid without any preparation. Isn't it reasonable that he messed up?
Snake shouted fiercely, but the detective in front of him didn't take him seriously at all.

He is Nakamori Ginzo's legitimate subordinate. What does a legitimate subordinate mean? He has been with Nakamori Ginzo and has suffered countless setbacks from Kaito Kid.

Although it’s not so exaggerated that he can recognize Kaito Kid even if he turns into ashes, at least he can still recognize Kaito Kid in his original skin.

This thing in front of me says it is Kaito Kidd?

A baggy white suit, white trousers with legs that were too long, and a white cloak that was neither fitting nor flowing.

There was even dust on the white top hat, and the wrinkles on the forehead of the big brother in front of me were so thick from wearing large glasses that they could almost kill a mosquito.

How dare he call himself Kaito Kidd?

"Uncle, go back now. Stop chasing stars at your age. Are you still Kaito Kid? If you were Kaito Kid, then I'd be Lupin the Third.

"Okay, uncle, if you have nothing to do, go home quickly. You will miss the bus soon, and taxis are expensive."

Nakamori Ginzo's direct subordinates had little harm to Snake, but his words were extremely insulting.

What does "uncle" mean?! Am I that old?

"I am Kaito Kidd, you bastard detectives are blind!" Snake rolled his eyes and started making a scene at the door.

Snake's noise drew the detectives in front of the art gallery toward him, and Kaito Kidd was about to take action. If this old man really refused to leave, they could use some coercive measures.

In the museum's surveillance room, Nakamori Ginzo stared at the screen in the front yard, frowning. Such a low-brow approach didn't seem like Kaito Kid.

And that preview letter, the direction is so obvious, what on earth are they going to do?
Just when Ginzo Nakamori was puzzled, all the surveillance screens suddenly flickered, and then a mechanical sound was heard throughout the entire art gallery.

"The real Egg of Memories, I, Kaito Kidd, will accept it this time, hahahahahaha!"
