Chapter 164 The Uses of Spider Silk

Kitagawa Taki did not go directly back to the exorcism agency, but instead went to Koizumi Akako's house first.

He had a lot of spider silk, and he could share some with Koizumi Akako.

The biggest gain from this trip to Tottori Prefecture was these spider webs, in addition to a commission fee of 200 million yen.

Before they left the Takeda family, Ryuji Takeda paid the commission fee to Taki Kitagawa, presumably having already learned the details from Robert.

……

Koizumi Akako's house.

Kitagawa Taki rang the doorbell, and Shimokasa Honomi answered the door.

She wasn't wearing a maid outfit, but rather a casual dress.

Upon seeing Kitagawa Taki, Shimokasa Honomi was initially pleasantly surprised, but then, as if remembering something, her face flushed red.

"Mr. Beichuan..."

Kitagawa Taki was taken aback by Shimokasa Honomi's reaction; why was she suddenly shy?

"Honami, who is that?" Koizumi Akako also came out.

"Oh, it's Taki. You've come to see your little canaries?" Koizumi Akako teased.

Kitagawa Taki followed her words and said, "Yes, it's been a few days since I've seen you guys, Akako. I miss you."

Honami Shimokasa blushed and helped Taki Kitagawa change into a pair of slippers.

Koizumi Akako pouted, "I'm not your canary!"

“Mr. Kitagawa, Akako, I’m going to find Minaho.”

After saying goodbye to the two, Shimokasa Honami fled upstairs.

Watching Honomi Shimokasa's retreating figure, Taki Kitagawa withdrew his gaze and said, "Honomi doesn't look like one of your maids."

Koizumi Akako said, "Of course, I don't treat them as maids. There are only the butler and I here, and the house is not big, so there is no need for them at all."

"Hmm?" Kitagawa Taki was a little confused; this was different from what he had said before.

Koizumi Akako smiled slyly: "What I told them was that you wanted to take care of them."

"I thought they would refuse, but they actually agreed."

Ok? ? ?

As expected of Koizumi Akako, she's so direct!

However, he likes it.

"Then aren't you spending money to support them?" Kitagawa Taki asked with a strange expression.

Spending a woman's money to support another woman?

Koizumi Akako waved her hand and said, "It's alright. They're yours now, and you're mine. It's only reasonable for me to spend a little money."

Kitagawa Taki slapped Koizumi Akako on the butt, "When did I become yours? You haven't succeeded yet!"

"Ouch!"

Koizumi Akako, like a cat with its fur standing on end, shuffled back a few steps, clutching her bottom.

Despite her seemingly unrestrained and bold words, Koizumi Akako is actually quite innocent.

"Just you wait!"

Kitagawa Taki looked at Koizumi Akako with a smile: "Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

"By the way, what did you do with those masks from last time?"

Kitagawa Taki gave all two hundred of Shobul's masks to Koizumi Akako.

Koizumi Akako said, "It's not finished yet. I'll show it to you when it's done."

Kitagawa Taki nodded and said, "I brought you some good things this time."

Koizumi Akako's eyes lit up. "What is that?"

Koizumi Akako was excited that Kitagawa Taki had said it was a good product.

Kitagawa Taki took out one-third of the spider silk from the bracelet's space.

"Magic spider silk?"

Koizumi Akako was overjoyed and kept stroking the spider silk with her hands.

"Where did you get such a good thing?"

Kitagawa Taki replied, "I went to Tottori Prefecture yesterday and got it from a spider monster."

Koizumi Akako pressed further, "What about the spider monster?"

Kitagawa Taki shrugged: "Kill him."

"That's a pity. We could have kept it in captivity, and then we would have an endless supply of spider silk," Koizumi Akako said with some regret.

Yes, Koizumi Akako is still more devilish.

Kitagawa Taki was both amused and exasperated. "What do you need so much spider silk for?"

Koizumi Akako thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. This stuff can be made into protective clothing."

This was exactly what Kitagawa Taki had thought of, but he couldn't do it, so he asked, "Can you do it?"

Koizumi Akako smiled smugly: "Of course."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Kitagawa Taki chuckled and took out all the remaining spider silk.

"So many!"

Koizumi Akako was somewhat surprised. No wonder Kitagawa Taki killed the spider monster directly; he probably had already slaughtered the entire spider.

Kitagawa Taki asked, "How many can these make?"

Koizumi Akako pondered for a moment and said, "If we're just making the inner armor, dozens of sets are no problem at all."

"Then you can make some clothes."

"You mean to give this to your women, right?" Koizumi Akako exclaimed. "That's wonderful. I've only ever seen this kind of thing in the family's books before."

"By the way, where's my payment? It's not easy to make clothes out of so much spider silk." Koizumi Akako spread her right hand.

Kitagawa Taki, wanting to tease Koizumi Akako, pointed to the spider silk in front of her and said, "Isn't the spider silk I just gave you your reward?"

Koizumi Akako pouted, "I thought you gave it to me."

Kitagawa Taki laughed, "Just kidding, what do you want?"

“I want…” Koizumi Akako feigned, “Never mind, I haven’t decided yet. I’ll tell you when I do.”

At that moment, Honomi Shimokasa and Minaho Shimokasa entered the living room together.

"Mr. Kitagawa!" the two said in unison.

Kitagawa Taki looked at the two of them, "You've arrived."

The two sisters look exactly alike. The simplest way to tell them apart is by their bangs: Honomi Shimokasa's bangs fall to the left, while Minako Shimokasa's bangs fall to the right.

The two have different personalities. Honomi Shimokasa is more enthusiastic and more easily embarrassed, while Minaho Shimokasa is more aloof.

Kitagawa Taki, feeling embarrassed by their stares, finally smiled and asked, "How are you feeling here?"

Honami Shimokasa said, "This place is nice, and Akako is very kind to us too."

“Someone has been waiting for you!” Koizumi Akako suddenly whispered in Kitagawa Taki’s ear.

Kitagawa Taki gave Koizumi Akako a strange look. Why did she seem even more enthusiastic than him?

Koizumi Akako is probably the one who cares least about him having other women.

Chapter 165 Phantom Thief Kid's Instantaneous Teleportation

Ekota.

At Terai Kinosuke's bar.

Kaito Kuroba was staring at the newspaper in front of him, looking troubled.

The article contained Suzuki Jirokichi's challenge to him.

Jirokichi Suzuki still harbors resentment over the time when Kaito Kid impersonated him and stole his jewels.

So this time they launched another challenge against Kidd.

Terai Kinosuke glanced through the newspaper. "Another masterpiece from the Suzuki Group, and they want you to go tonight, young master."

Kaito Kuroba had a bit of a headache. "Yeah, those demands are a bit too much."

Terai Kinosuke confirmed, "Ginza 4-chome is a pedestrian zone, right?"

Kaito Kuroba nodded. "Yes, this time the treasure is the Crimson Claw, a 100-carat amethyst set in a woman's sandal."

Terai Kinosuke advised, "However, young master, you have too little time to prepare this time. Why don't you just give up?"

"No, retreating without a fight isn't my style," Kaito Kuroba said with a laugh. "Turning it into a spectacular show, that's what Phantom Thief Kid is all about!"

Terai Kinosuke continued, "But this is related to the Suzuki family, so Kitagawa Taki will definitely be here too, right?!"

Kaito Kuroba's smile froze; he could only do his best.

Faced with an exceptionally powerful opponent like Kitagawa Taki, Kuroba Kaito felt his confidence diminish significantly.

……

night.

Ginza 4-chome.

Jirokichi Suzuki displayed the Crimson Claw in the middle of the road with great fanfare, surrounded by only four stern-faced bodyguards.
