I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 70 Koizumi Akako's New Prophecy
Ekoda High School, Class 2-B.

It is a regional high school far from Beika Town, where gods are everywhere.

The students at Ekoda High School were noticeably more normal, but among this group of normal students were two slightly abnormal ones, such as Kaito Kuroba, who performed magic tricks every day to give the hygiene committee member a hard time.

There's also Koizumi Akako, who occasionally claims to be a magician and is adored by thousands.

"I don't feel quite right today."

Kaito Kuroba muttered to himself.

A few days ago, he had a brief encounter with that self-proclaimed Batman on the Queen Cerissa, and was then punched so hard he flew off the edge of the map, where he was given a long-distance swimming training session.

At that time, it was still quite a distance from Tokyo.

It took him a long time to swim to Tokyo and get ashore. Along the way, he encountered all sorts of strange and scary fish several times, and even caught a cold for two days because of it. He only recovered yesterday after taking medicine.

Why am I feeling unwell again today? Could it be that I've caught another cold?
"No way? Spare me... I was just about to deliver a new notice today."

Kuroba Kaito muttered softly.

It's already unusual for him to stop for so many days at once. If he stops for a few more days, people on the internet forums will probably say that he, the Phantom Thief Kid, has given up his life of crime.
call out.

Something poked Kaito Kuroba in the back.

Kaito Kuroba instinctively turned around, but immediately noticed the teacher's disapproving gaze. He quickly straightened up, pretending that he hadn't been thinking about anything and had been listening attentively to the lesson.

The teacher on the podium then looked away.

The girl in the back seat whispered.

"It looks like you're going to get into trouble again."

—The person sitting behind Kaito Kuroba is Akako Koizumi.

She claims to be the Crimson Witch, a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, and not only that, she's also incredibly narcissistic, having said more than once that there is no man in the world who can resist her charm.

She also liked to give him some inexplicable magical prophecies from time to time.

Previously, when Kaito Kuroba was about to steal the "Time on the Clock Tower," Akako Koizumi said that there was a Demon of Light next to the clock tower, and that sinners like him would be reduced to ashes in the light.

But in reality, the detective named Shinichi Kudo only caused him a little trouble.

In the end, didn't he successfully break free as usual?

The only exception is the prophecy concerning the Queen Cerissa...

"I'm telling you, that bat seems to be coming after you again."

Have you ever considered contacting that bat?

Koizumi Akako said softly.

None of the other students noticed that Koizumi Akako was talking to Kuroba Kaito. Only Nakamori Aoko, who was sitting next to her, turned her head curiously to look at what was happening in Koizumi Akako's direction.

She didn't find anything strange about it.

This wasn't the first time. In any case, whenever Akako finally talked to Kaito, he would always let out that classic Team Rocket three-stage laugh and then run away after their conversation, which only made Kaito feel that Akako's chuunibyou was getting worse.

"Hey, did you hire that weirdo who calls himself Batman to beat me up?"

"No, no, I mean, was that weirdo who called himself Batman someone you hired to beat up Phantom Thief Kid? How could he have been lying in wait for Phantom Thief Kid at the place he was supposed to leave?"

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba immediately retorted in a low voice.

Because he blurted it out in the middle of the trip, he stubbornly corrected himself before finally saying it.
"Let me tell you, Batman alone could never defeat Phantom Thief Kid."

"Especially since Phantom Thief Kid is already mentally prepared for him... Believe it or not, even if that guy who calls himself Batman reappears next to Phantom Thief Kid, Phantom Thief Kid can take him down immediately?"

Although this is just Kaito Kuroba bickering with Akako Koizumi in their daily life.

But in reality, he was quite confident—

Doesn't this guy like to mix smoke with smoke? Then I'll just replace the flashbang smoke grenades with hypnosis smoke grenades, and that'll solve the problem, right? The more smoke he mixes in, the faster he'll go down. As long as I'm prepared, dealing with that guy will be a piece of cake.

Kaito Kuroba became increasingly smug as he spoke.
"In the end, he's just an ordinary person holding a coffee cup."

"At most, he's just physically stronger. I think Kaito Kid is still the better one!"

However, he relies on the poker face that is unique to magicians.

Kaito Kuroba managed to keep a straight face while whispering, preventing the teacher from discovering he was daydreaming in class. "Kaito, look..."

Aoko Nakamori's voice rang out softly.

At this moment, Kaito Kuroba turned back to look at the blackboard again.

Then he saw that the head of the teaching department had somehow appeared at the front door of the classroom and was staring at his location through the viewing window.

Kuroba Kaito:?
I admit that your teachers are better at keeping quiet at school.

in the corridor.

Kaito Kuroba leaned against the wall, looking a little bored. He turned to Akako Koizumi, who had come out with him, and asked curiously,
"Didn't you say you could predict the future with magic? You didn't foresee what just happened?"

"Or are you doing this on purpose so that we can die together and be punished together?"

Hearing this, Koizumi Akako smiled slightly and said in a low voice,

"I just want to find some time to have a good talk with you."

"Because you'll be leaving school immediately after class today to prepare a new theft notice, right?"

At this point, Koizumi Akako's expression became somewhat serious as she revealed her prophecy.

"When the eight-eyed illusionist weaves a web of death..."

The magician under the moon will have his wings clipped on the tower of lies.

But when the blood moon rises, the messengers of the Darkwing awaken from the abyss—

In the gaps between the tolling of bells and the cawing of crows,

The bat will carry away the poisoned blade that pierced the heart.

To continue the thread of fate for the white-clad raven.

—Does this have to be so scary?

Kaito Kuroba stared wide-eyed in surprise.

He didn't believe in any magical prophecies.

Besides, Kaito Kid is the kind of person who would do something without hesitation even if he knew there was danger ahead.

Even if Koizumi Akako packaged the information she knew into a magical prophecy to warn him.

He won't be intimidated by this.

"Alright, I'm not Phantom Thief Kid, there's no point in telling me this."

"However, even if the real Phantom Thief Kid knew there would be danger to his life, he would still go, right? After all, the Phantom Thief Kid would have a reason to go, and he couldn't just stop there."

Kaito Kuroba replied in a relaxed tone.

Then he heard what Koizumi Akako said.

"I knew you would definitely go."

"That's why you need to meet with the bat."

"If my magic didn't go wrong..."

Koizumi Akako said earnestly,
"Bats are the ones who can be your saviors."

----Really?

Kaito Kuroba, who is always stubborn, did not believe in this superstition.

Then, he suddenly noticed the sound of another person breathing behind him.

Kaito Kuroba suddenly turned his head to look behind him.

Suddenly, Chen En appeared there, holding his usual coffee to keep him awake, and said in a low voice,

"I'm listening, please explain in detail."
