Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 250 The Witch's Lament! A Deadly Trap in the Night!
"How did Akako know that?" Kaito Kuroba stared at the text message on his phone, his head full of question marks: "Could she really be a witch who can use a crystal ball to do divination?"

"Or is this guy spying on me somewhere?"

Kaito Kuroba jumped up from the sofa, looked around the house, and then drew back the curtains.

But nothing was discovered; there were no cameras installed in his house by Koizumi Akako, nor were there any people spying on him from outside.

So, is this guy really a witch?

Buzz buzz.
Just then, the cell phone in my hand rang. It was a call from Koizumi Akako.

Kaito Kuroba looked at his phone and sighed, then reluctantly answered the call: "Hello, this is Kaito."

"Of course I know you are Kaito Kuroba. I just want to tell you that you've messed with someone. But judging from what I saw in the crystal ball, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards you. He's just teasing you at most."

Koizumi Akako said this while looking at the crystal ball.

A man's appearance had appeared inside the crystal ball, along with several other illusory figures.

But at that moment, the man inside the crystal ball suddenly looked in a certain direction.

Then click click
Her crystal ball cracked, and the image on it immediately disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Koizumi Akako paused for a moment, then let out a startling roar.

"My crystal ball!"

Upon hearing Koizumi Akako's piercing scream, Kuroba Kaito on the other side immediately asked, "Koizumi Akako, Koizumi Akako, what happened to you?"

"Hey, say something."

After calling out twice, he didn't hear Koizumi Akako's voice on the phone. He got a little anxious and went straight through the living room to the entrance hall. Just as he was about to put on his shoes and go out, Koizumi Akako's voice finally came through the phone.

"I'm fine, don't worry," Koizumi Akako said weakly and intermittently.

But from her voice, Kaito Kuroba could hear a deep sense of sorrow.

Coupled with the sound of glass shattering he had just heard, he seemed to know something.

It's probably because her precious crystal ball broke.

"Are you really alright?" Kaito Kuroba hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to ask, "Was your crystal ball broken?"

Hearing this, Koizumi Akako looked at her cracked crystal ball, tilted her head back, and sniffed, trying to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.

She is a witch, and witches are not allowed to shed tears.

Even if her family heirloom crystal ball cracked, she wouldn't cry.

Witches are not afraid, nor are they fearless.

However, she wanted to get revenge for the crystal ball cracking, but before that, she needed to know the specific information about the guy on the other side, otherwise she would just be delivering a sliding tackle to his doorstep.

"It's alright, I'm really fine, you don't need to worry about me!" Koizumi Akako said, "But I need information about that man, you must tell me."

She relied on the crystal ball to deduce Kaito Kuroba's whereabouts, indirectly seeing some images and learning a little bit about him.

But she had no idea about the specifics. After all, even a witch isn't omnipotent and still needs to gather information.

Of course, if she gets her hands on this guy's hair, she'll definitely teach him a lesson.

Get revenge for breaking my crystal ball!

It's a family heirloom, after all.

"Information on that man?" Kaito Kuroba asked. "Is he the guy who got me into trouble?"

“Yes, this is the man. Tell me what you know.” Koizumi Akako.

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm sorry, Koizumi, I can't tell you his information."

Kitahara Natsuhiro's information is a private matter to him; he can't tell anyone outside his own family.

What if he tells others and they retaliate against him?

He has something on me that he can't afford to say anything carelessly.

Moreover, if Kitahara Natsuhiro's information were actually given to Koizumi Akako, Kitahara Natsuhiro would definitely be in trouble, and might even be tricked.

It's just a crystal ball; there's no need to make a fuss about it.

So after much deliberation, Kaito Kuroba still chose not to tell Akako Koizumi about Kitahara Natsuhiro's information, for his sake, for Akako Koizumi's sake, and also for Kitahara Natsuhiro's sake.

"You!!!" Hearing this, Koizumi Akako felt a pain in her chest from anger.

I cracked my family's heirloom crystal ball for you, and you're not telling me anything for a man?
Damn you, I really misjudged you!

"I'm sorry, Koizumi, I can't tell you, because I know that telling you would only make things more complicated."

"That's all for now. I have something to do, so I'll hang up."

After saying that, Kaito Kuroba hung up the phone without the slightest hesitation.

He knew very well that if he didn't hang up the phone quickly, Koizumi Akako would continue to press him, and he might reveal Kitahara Natsuhiro's information.

But in reality, he didn't know much about Kitahara Natsuyu either.

Most of the information came from Conan, Ran, and Sonoko, but it wasn't a lot; it was mostly just ordinary information.

The only key piece of information is that Kitahara Natsuyu seems to be two-timing, or even more-timing, and the women around him are all very obedient and submissive.

I felt a little envious and jealous.

Why don't I have this ability?

I am the famous phantom thief, you mustn't try to imitate me!

On the other side, at Koizumi Akako's house.

Koizumi Akako stared at the phone that had been hung up on, her face filled with anger, her hand gripping the phone so tightly it turned white.

After standing there for a long time, she let out a long sigh and calmed down.

After all, she's a witch; she can't stay angry forever, and being angry all the time isn't good for her health. She should just let it go after a while.

But the hatred stemming from the crystal ball must be avenged.

The creature inside the crystal ball wants revenge, and she even wants revenge on Kaito Kuroba.

She wouldn't have used the crystal ball to spy on others if it weren't for Kaito Kuroba.

I have no idea who this guy is. He just glanced at it, and my crystal ball just cracked.

If you look at it a few more times, it will shatter completely.

"I wonder if the crystal ball can still be glued back on, and if it can be glued back on, will it still be usable?"

Koizumi Akako was very distressed looking at the crystal ball with several cracks. She turned around and went to the study, where she began to search for magic books, especially those about training.

I hope to find a way to repair the crystal ball in these books.

She didn't know if she could succeed, after all, times had changed and many of the materials used in alchemy were no longer available. She didn't know if she would succeed in the end.

But in this situation, she had no choice but to give it a try.

Beikacho, Kitahara Chinese Restaurant.

At this time, Kitahara Natsuyu and the others had finished lunch and were chatting in the restaurant, while he was playing on his phone, occasionally replying with a word.

Conan left the store to find Professor Agasa, though it's unclear what he was doing there. Ran and Sonoko were both there, especially Sonoko, who was very excited.

Because apart from Kitahara Natsuyu and Amuro Tooru, everyone here is a girl, and Ai and Miyano Akemi have also come to the store.

With so many girls around, she naturally wanted to gossip to her heart's content.

Although Sonoko isn't very good at dating, she's incredibly skilled at gossiping, especially since she knows a lot about the family feuds within wealthy and powerful families, which everyone finds fascinating.

After all, how could ordinary people like them possibly hear about the affairs of such important figures?

Sonoko continued, and we loved to listen.

Who was looking at me just now?

While Sonoko and the others were chatting enthusiastically, Kitahara Natsuhiro sat to the side and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Just now, he received a call from Chikage Kuroba, informing him that she had returned to Tokyo from the United States and was planning to meet him at a certain time.

But at that moment, a gaze came from the void, and upon noticing it, he looked in the direction from which it was being swept.

Then that gaze disappeared.

This puzzled him a lot.

If he were an ordinary person, he would never have noticed, and even if he did, he would just assume that someone in the store was watching him.

After all, he's so handsome.
But now he's no ordinary person; he's evolved into a second-stage Gastly.

The next step is Gengar in its third stage.

It is natural to be able to detect gazes from the void.

Furthermore, Ghost-type Pokémon seem to come from the spirit world, and some Pokémon can even open the entrance to the spirit world.

But whether this is true or not, he doesn't know, because he doesn't have this kind of inherited memory, can't open the entrance to the spirit world, and has no interest in the spirit world.

After all, there are no cute young ladies in the spirit world!

"The owner of this gaze is definitely not an ordinary person. It seems that this world is much more complicated than I imagined." Kitahara Natsuyu sighed inwardly, and then ignored the matter.

It's not that he doesn't want to get involved, but that he can't.

After all, he didn't even know who the other person was, and he didn't sense any emotion from them.

But one thing is certain: the other side has some strength, but not much.

If one has sufficient strength, then it wouldn't just be a glance, but many glances.

Running away after just one glance is definitely a sign of weakness.

Hmph, trash!

After complaining about the guy who was spying on him, he picked up his phone again and started replying.

Because of the little incident earlier, he hasn't replied yet.

"Look at you, I have plenty of time here, anytime is fine." - Kitahara Natsuhiro

What's a good physical education teacher? One with light teaching load, few classes, and plenty of rest time.

Even when he's supposed to be at work, he can leave school to do his own personal things, so time doesn't matter.

It mainly depends on the timing of Kuroba Chikage.

Buzz buzz.
A few seconds later, Kuroba Chikage replied to the text message.

【Then let's do it tomorrow. Just choose a location and let me know.】

If you're accommodating my schedule, then you can book the location.

After all, the guy on the other side still has something on Kaito.

Of course, she wasn't afraid that this guy would play some tricks and choose some strange place to meet.

For example, hotels and the like.
Because she is quite strong, ordinary people are no match for her, and she can easily deal with two or three adult men.

After all, she was a phantom thief lady more than ten years ago, so she's naturally quite skilled in that area.

After going to the United States, she picked up her fighting skills again after years of not having practiced them, and even improved them considerably.

Americans are a land of exceptional talent and are constantly engaged in gunfights.

Without any self-defense skills, you wouldn't feel safe walking on the street in broad daylight.

Of course, a sense of security cannot rely solely on martial arts skills; she is also quite proficient in American Iaijutsu, and even secretly brought guns into the country from the United States.

She hasn't completely lost all of her tricks as a phantom thief.

"The location," Kitahara Natsuyu thought for a moment, then edited a text message and told Kuroba Chikage the location.

[Tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM, Beika Town, Lavender Cafe.]

I will arrive on time.

After seeing the text message, Kitahara Natsuhiro did not reply to it again, but instead joined Sonoko's gossip chat group.

He also loves listening to gossip and such, so let me hear it!

Night fell before we knew it.

After having dinner at the restaurant, Kitahara Natsuhiro drove Yukiko, Ai, and Miyano Akemi back home one by one.

As for Sonoko, she had her family's driver pick her up while she was eating.

So after dinner, she got into her own luxury car and went home without needing Kitahara Natsuhiro to pick her up.

Xiaolan's home is upstairs, so she doesn't need it at all.

At that moment, Kiko, Ai, and Akemi Miyano were sitting in the back seat of Kitahara Natsuhiro's car, chatting happily.

And as they chatted, the conversation drifted to things about the villa deep in the mountains.

"Please, I really didn't hit on any girls, please believe me!" Kitahara Natsuyu said with a tearful face.

He did have that thought, after all, both Naoko Kuroda and Megumi Tanaka were beautiful women, and they were his type.

So he's quite willing to do things for me.

It's just that one person killed two people, and the other person was traumatized by the murder case.

There's no time to chat with him about romance and poetry here.

"Yes, yes, we believe you," Yukiko and the others replied dismissively. "Besides, we were just saying it, why are you raising your voice so loudly?"

"Feeling guilty?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu curled his lip and immediately raised his hands in surrender.

Arguing with a woman in this place is the most useless thing to do; if you want to argue, do it in bed.

I can take on all three of you by myself!

Yukiko and the other two did not pursue the matter relentlessly, thus letting Kitahara Natsuhiro go.

soon
Kitahara Natsuyu then sent the three of them back, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then something troublesome happened!
