After realizing that what he blurted out was tantamount to admitting his identity, Kuroba Kaito's whole body went numb.

Then he realized that in fact, this person already knew who he was, and the disguise seemed to have lost its meaning. Forced sophistry might be useful when facing the police, but in the face of this kind of person who does not pay attention to evidence at all, only free testimonials

Opponent, it's useless to say anything.

Fortunately, this person didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, which made Kuroba Kaito soar for a moment, as if his heart was slowly slowing down after being equipped with a small electric motor.

The black-haired boy rubbed his hair in frustration, crossed his arms across his chest, and asked, "Why are you here - Kitahara Sosuke!"

——Come on! Take off your waistcoat! Am I afraid of you?!

"Oh?" Kitahara Sosuke raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this the attitude that the famous Kaito Kid has towards his savior?"

"What kind of savior? Oh..." Kuroba Kaito remembered the embarrassing appearance of hanging outside the cabin last time, and gritted his teeth and said: "If it hadn't been for you last time, I would have been able to swim back to Tokyo."

"I'm not talking about that time, but just now." Kitahara Sosuke said.

"……just?"

Before Kuroba Kaidou could react, he saw Kithara Sosuke lightly tapping his right eye with his index finger, then using his hands to compare guns, he said softly: "——Bang!"

Kuroba Kaito's expression suddenly changed, recalling his heart palpitations not long ago when the red dot was aimed at his right eye.

"——It's you?! No, that's not right." The young man frowned: "Those two people's body shapes are different from yours."

Kithara Sosuke rolled his eyes: "Nonsense! Do you think you are the only one in the world who has an assistant?"

"The person after that is your assistant?" Kuroba Kaito was confused: "What on earth is going on?"

"It's a long story. You're not going to just stand here and listen to my story, are you?"

As soon as Kitahara Sosuke finished speaking, a car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Terai Nomosuke got out of the car. He looked at the two of them and tentatively shouted: "Master?"

……………………

After taking a shower, changing clothes, and drinking a bowl of miso soup filled with love from Grandpa Terai, Kuroba Kaito came out of the lounge. When he saw Sosuke Kitahara sitting at the bar, his brows twitched slightly.

I saw Kithara Sosuke adding lemon juice, blue curaçao, vodka, and sweet lemon syrup to the cocktail shaker in sequence, and covering the lid. Then the small silver container turned over in his palm as if it had wings.

Fly. A few minutes later, he poured the prepared wine into a special ice-cold wine glass, then poured in champagne, and finally garnished it with a plump cherry, like a rising sun rising in the morning sky.

Terai Huangnosuke applauded gently: "It's perfect. Master Kitahara is very talented in bartending."

"No, I just copied your movements." Kithara Sosuke picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Well... the taste seems a bit wrong."

“The longer the cocktail is in the shaker, the lower the temperature will be and the concentration of the wine will also decrease. A good bartender will appropriately adjust the shaker time according to the type of wine and the ratio.

There is no specific formula, you can only form an intuition after accumulating a lot of experience and adding a little talent." Terai Huangnosuke said like a teacher: "In addition, there are four basic methods of daily bartending - shaker, stir, and build.

,yer, which means shaking, stirring, blending, layering, you see, that's it..."

Terai Huangnosuke began to demonstrate.

"Oh oh oh...I learned it." Kitahara Sosuke got started quickly, and there was only one proficiency level difference between Terai Kinosuke's skills that he had practiced over many years.

"How about trying a frozen margarita next?" Terai Kinosuke suggested happily.

Kithara Sosuke said enthusiastically: "Okay, how to do it?"

Seeing that the conversation between the two gradually turned into a bartending class, Kuroba Kaito sat over and interrupted angrily: "Hey, a young man like you can just wait for others to serve you, why are you learning these things?

?”

"As the saying goes, you have more skills than you can handle!" Kitahara Sosuke turned to look at him: "Have you ever investigated me?"

"Reciprocity is reciprocal, and each other is reciprocal."

Kuroba Kaito looked at the Negroni that Terai Khonosuke had just mixed in Sosuke Kitahara's hand. The color was bright and attractive, but...

"If I remember correctly, you seem to be underage, right?"

"Is that so?" Terai Konosuke looked at Kitahara Sosuke in surprise and said.

Although he also felt that Kitahara Soji's appearance was too young, the tone and demeanor of the other party naturally gave people a mature feeling, which was completely different from the feeling that his young master turned into a young boy when he took off his mask, which led to Terai Kinosuke

I thought the other person just looked younger.

Was he really a minor?

——Wait! So...he is now inciting minors to drink?!!

Terai Kinosuke's face turned green when he looked at the wine glass he had just handed to Kitahara Sosuke.

In Japan, underage drinking is taken very seriously. If you want to be serious, he illegally provided liquor to young people under the age of 20, and was fined up to 500,000 yen, and even risked having his license revoked.

You must also report it to the police station.

"What, are you worried?" Kitahara Sosuke saw Terai Kinosuke's stiff expression, shook his glass, tilted his head and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't fail to appreciate this kind of thing where the people don't care about the officials.

Threatening you with something like this."

Although the law on "underage drinking is prohibited" is very strict, there are actually many middle school students who drink secretly. Hattori Heiji, as the son of the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, didn't he drink Conan a glass of Chinese liquor without knowing the law?

?This plot has been broadcast in Japan for more than 20 years, and no one has said anything.

But Terai Kinosuke, who assisted two generations of Kaito Kid to steal treasures from all over the world, was definitely a good and law-abiding citizen. He quickly put away all the wine on the table, even Kitahara Sosuke held it in his hand

He forcibly took away all the cocktails and then stuffed me back with a glass of sweet juice.

Kuroba Kaito, who was holding the milk, was gloating beside him, not knowing what he was so proud of.

Kithara Sosuke glanced at him sideways and said, "Looking at you smiling so happily, I thought it was someone else who was almost shot just now!"

He doesn't slap people in the face, and he doesn't criticize others. When he was criticized in front of his face, Kuroba Kaito's smile completely disappeared as Kitahara Sosuke expected.

He started grinding his teeth.

…………………………

"Shi Kaobing?"

Hearing such a name, Kuroba Kaito looked confused. On the other hand, Terai Kinosuke next to him was thoughtful: "I seem to have heard someone mention this name... It seems to be a killer who specializes in shooting the right eye."

Kuroba Kaito immediately believed it. Because when he found out, the opponent had already aimed at the heart, which was easier to hit, but did not fire. The red laser point was still moving towards his right eye.

But... with such an attitude, is that person a perfectionist?

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, the black-haired boy raised his head and said seriously: "Thank you very much for telling me these things. I know that the killer I am facing this time is very dangerous. Thank you!"

"Hey! You don't think I came here just to share information with you, do you?" Kitahara Aoi asked.

"……Is not it?"

Kitahara Sosuke: "...(▼ plate▼)"

When I was watching the anime, I didn’t realize that this guy could be so naughty!

"Haha, you're kidding!" Kuroba Kaito spread his hands: "But if you are here to persuade me to give up the egg of memories on behalf of the famous detective... I'm sorry, I can't agree. Because I stole that egg for

Other purposes..."

"I know that things must be returned to their original owners, right?" Kitahara Sosuke said.

Kuroba Kaito was suddenly powerless: "You guy, is there anything else you don't know?"

"It has nothing to do with me whether you want to steal the memory egg or return it to Miss Natsumi." Kitahara Sosuke said: "In return for saving your life, I want you to pretend to be a specific person at a specific time.

People. Considering your level of cross-dressing, this should be easy, right?"

"Oh?" Kidd rolled his eyes, thinking about the true identity of Conan he had found out, and felt that he understood: "...I see. That's right. I can make people who shouldn't exist exist and resurrect the dead.

It’s very simple, I will help you this time!”

"once?"

"Um?"

"Kaitou Kidd, do you think your life is too cheap?"

"What do you mean?"

"The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water! The kindness of saving a life can never be repaid too much, right? Of course I should be there at my call!"

"Hey, hey, don't go too far! It's ugly to ask for a favor in return!"

"Isn't it even more ugly to be ungrateful?!"

"Are you still unreasonable? Be careful, I will report you for underage drinking and breaking the law!"

"What qualifications do the (terrorists) who blew up the Osaka Castle substation have to say such things!"

Terai Huangnosuke: "..."

——Why can’t you get a word in at all?

……………………

After a series of difficult and complicated bargaining, back and forth, the number of returns was finally set at the number [7]. Kuroba Kaito lay on the counter with his eyes blank, feeling as if he was with the store.

The housewives who rushed in during a big sale were like fighting, and their souls were about to spit out from their mouths.

Kitahara Sosuke still felt that it was too little, but Kuroba Kaito had no choice but to worry about becoming a tool that he would use, so he clung to the last position and refused to give in, so this was the result.

Even Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but doubt whether Shi Kaobing really existed. The life-saving grace...could it be designed by this person himself?

After his brain cooled down and he thought about it carefully, Kuroba Kaito discovered that everything was Kitahara Sosuke's unilateral statement. He was not even sure whether the person who stopped the killer was related to him, so he gave it to him.

Got around.

This guy……

He squinted and saw Kitahara Sosuke and Terai Kinosuke asking for a bunch of beer bottle caps. They picked out seven with special patterns, smashed them flat with a small hammer, and then carefully painted on the inside with an oil-based pen.

A pattern of a top hat with a small symbol next to it.

After finishing the painting, he said solemnly: "This will be our token of this transaction from now on - seven bottle caps, seven times of help. No matter who comes to you with this bottle cap in the future, you must abide by today's promise."

!”

"Are you an elementary school student?" Kuroba Kaito glanced at the bottle cap and complained.

Take a closer look... Could this guy be drunk? How much did grandpa let him drink?

Thinking that drunk people are best deceived, Kuroba Kaito showed a malicious smile, leaned closer and asked softly: "Kitahara Sosuke... what is your biggest secret?"

Kithara Sosuke was confused: "My secret is..."

"Yes..." Kuroba Kaito moved a little closer.

A hand suddenly pressed on his head.

"Save your life once, exchange help seven times. Kuroba Kaito..." Kitahara Sosuke said slowly and slowly: "...you will owe me many times in the future!"

Kuroba Kaito was stunned.

——Not drunk?

He blinked his eyes, looking a little innocent.

Kitahara Sosuke rubbed the head that still smelled of shampoo, used the strength to stand up, and patted the other person on the shoulder: "I'm not stupid enough to get drunk on other people's territory! You can learn from this.

Be good, kid! Can a person with an IQ of 400 be deceived so easily?"

Thinking about Kidd who was often deceived by prisoners into becoming the scapegoat in the plot, Kitahara Sosuke couldn't help but patted him on the head again.
