"So, what's the matter that you called me about?" Yuu Shingaki noticed that the person on the other end of the phone seemed to have fallen silent again, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to ask.
"Ahem..." Kaito Kuroba, reminded by Yuu Aragaki, cleared his throat with a couple of coughs and said, "I've got everything ready. How about we meet this weekend?"
As soon as Kaito Kuroba finished speaking, he prepared himself with a clear conscience to accept the endless gratitude that Yuu Aragaki was about to express.
After all, I had been working tirelessly on this matter ever since I got home that day, and it wasn't until now that everything was finally ready.
After all my efforts, all I got in return was a few words of thanks from Aragaki Yu. That's perfectly reasonable!
However, just as Kaito Kuroba was filled with anticipation, he heard Yuu Aragaki's slightly puzzled voice.
"Preparing? Kaito, what are you preparing? And what are you doing this weekend? Do you need my help?"
Kaito Kuroba: "..."
Chapter 185 But I hate it when people joke with me!
"Of course it's about disguise techniques. Do you still want to learn them or not?" Kaito Kuroba said through gritted teeth.
"Oh." Aragaki Yu suddenly paused for a moment, but finally answered truthfully, "I'm sorry, I forgot..."
Because my mind was still preoccupied with imagining Ai Haibara and Conan's current situation, I hadn't really thought about the disguise technique.
Kaito Kuroba: "..."
Good heavens, Kaito Kuroba was so angry that his hands started trembling.
Damn it! I put so much effort into preparing to teach Aragaki Yu, and all I got in return was a nonchalant "I forgot"!
Just as Kaito Kuroba was debating whether to hang up the phone to show his anger, Yu Aragaki's voice came through again.
"I'm so sorry, I really feel bad for troubling you so much, Kaito-sensei."
o(￣▽￣)d
"Kaito... teacher?!" Kaito Kuroba, who was addressed as teacher by Yuu Aragaki, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, his face no longer showing any displeasure.
Since Aragaki-san has already apologized, there's no need for me to be angry anymore...
Hahaha……
"Oh, right!" Coming to his senses, Kaito Kuroba quickly put away his silly grin and steered the conversation back to business. "Do you have a suitable place? Preferably somewhere where no one will bother us."
After thinking for a moment, Aragaki Yu suggested, "Hmm... your house, or mine?"
Kaito Kuroba: "..."
To be honest, he didn't really want to choose either of the two places that Aragaki Yu mentioned.
After hesitating for a moment, Kaito Kuroba sighed and decided, "Fine, then I'll take my place."
It's safer to stay at home than to take a huge risk to go to a place that's completely unfamiliar to you.
Given Aragaki's close relationship with the police, Kuroba Kaito still hasn't ruled out the possibility that Aragaki might be lying in wait at his home to arrest him.
Although he knew that the possibility was very low, if Aragaki Yu really had such thoughts, the police would probably have already come to his house to start investigating.
"Ah."
Even though he knew that Kaito Kuroba couldn't see it on the other end of the phone, Yuu Aragaki nodded in agreement.
……
After hanging up the phone, Aragaki Yu looked at the shikigami gathered around the TV and couldn't help but feel a few black lines appear on his head.
Even Hotaru, who had just joined the team, was dragged into the army of video game players by Yoto Hime.
And it seems... the skill level is pretty good?
Despite having only recently started playing the game, he's already able to hold his own against the Yoto Hime, who's using a game controller with one hand.
He truly deserves to be called the chosen "fighter"!
Meanwhile, Yuki-onna and Tengu were sitting next to Hotaru, looking at her with adoration and cheering her on.
"Uh... these guys..."
Aragaki Yu couldn't help but sigh silently as he suddenly remembered the skyrocketing electricity bill at home over the past few months.
This is utterly a waste of time and energy!
Yuu Aragaki began to ponder in his mind whether he should find something for his shikigami to do.
At least it's not a power-consuming activity.
Looking at the four little shikigami sitting together, Yuu Aragaki suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Or, I could teach them how to play mahjong myself!
However, Aragaki Yu quickly rejected the idea.
Knowing the allure of this national treasure, Aragaki Yu was deeply worried that his shikigami would become addicted to mahjong after learning it.
I can no longer order them around.
If you get hooked on this, it can easily lead to trouble!
……
Saturday, early morning.
Following Yuki-onna's prompting, Aragaki Yu arrived at the entrance of Kuroba Kaito's mansion, located at the address provided by Kuroba Kaito.
Because he had informed Kaito Kuroba in advance before leaving, Aragaki Yu was welcomed into the house by Kaito Kuroba shortly after knocking on the door.
However, just as Aragaki Yu entered the room and closed the door at Kuroba Kaito's prompting,
Kaito Kuroba's hand suddenly trembled, and a jet-black pistol appeared in his hand as if by magic, pointing swiftly at Yuu Aragaki's waist.
Almost at the same moment that Kuroba Kaito made his move, Aragaki Yu also subconsciously took half a step to the side, barely dodging Kuroba Kaito's gun aimed at him.
Then, Yuu Aragaki naturally grabbed Kaito Kuroba's wrist and twisted it forcefully.
In an instant, to Kaito Kuroba's astonishment, the pistol in his hand fell to the ground.
Then, in the next second, Aragaki Yu pulled a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Kuroba Kaito in front of him.
"Hehehe..." A somewhat stunned Kaito Kuroba noticed the fleeting chill in Yuu Aragaki's eyes. He looked at his wrist, which Yuu Aragaki was still twisting, and the gun pointed at him, and laughed awkwardly. "Yuu-kun, do you believe me when I say this is just a joke?"
"of course."
Just as Kaito Kuroba was trying to explain, Yuu Aragaki nodded and immediately released Kaito Kuroba's wrist.
Just as Kaito Kuroba breathed a sigh of relief, Yuu Aragaki twirled his pistol and said, "But I hate it when people joke with me!"
Then, Kaito Kuroba's black pupils suddenly widened as he saw that the muzzle of the pistol in Yuu Aragaki's hand was once again pointed at him.
Then, with a cold laugh, Aragaki Yu pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang!"
Caught off guard and unable to dodge, Kuroba Kaito could only watch helplessly as a burst of fire erupted from the muzzle of the pistol in Aragaki Yu's hand.
Then, a bouquet of flowers bloomed from the muzzle of the pistol in Aragaki Yu's hand.
Kaito Kuroba: "..."
Still reeling from the shock, he watched as Yuu Aragaki smiled and pulled the bouquet from the muzzle of the gun, then casually placed it in an empty vase next to the entrance hall.
"I apologize for the intrusion, and I don't have anything to bring. I just happened to pass by the flower shop this morning and noticed that the flowers are quite nice today," Aragaki Yu explained as he arranged the bouquet in the vase.
“Hehe…” Looking at the calm expression on Aragaki Yu’s face, Kuroba Kaito’s lips twitched.
He immediately realized that he had been tricked by Aragaki.
Unexpectedly, the man who prided himself on becoming the greatest magician of the century was fooled by such a magic prop.
It's not that the magic props were particularly realistic, but rather that Yuu Aragaki's performance just now was incredibly lifelike!
The acting was so convincing that Kaito Kuroba even felt a chilling killing intent emanating from Yuu Aragaki at that moment.
Recalling Yuu Aragaki's indifferent expression just now, Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but reach out and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"That was really... terrifying!"
Chapter 186 Aragaki Yu in Kaito's Eyes
At this moment, Kaito Kuroba felt extremely frustrated, but he still had to put on a welcoming smile.
Because he had been humiliated by Aragaki Yu on several previous meetings, he wanted to take this opportunity to scare Aragaki Yu properly.
Unexpectedly, he was subdued by Yuu Aragaki as soon as he took out his toy gun.
Please, no matter what, he's just a magician, not a martial artist. Who could have predicted that Aragaki Yu would be so agile?
As a result, his attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and he was even startled by Aragaki Yu's trick.
Ugh, this is so embarrassing...
"Young Master, are you alright!" Terai Kinosuke noticed the commotion at the entrance and rushed over, watching Aragaki Yu warily beside Kuroba Kaito.
If he guessed correctly, the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as his young master, should be the guest his young master had mentioned who was coming to visit today.
"!!!"
