My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Upon hearing the order, the reporter immediately replied, "Understood. Apart from these two matters, everything else in the vicinity is trivial."

ZERO stretched out his right hand: "Now go do what you're supposed to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint glimmer of light appeared in the all-black house, and a scroll emitting fluorescence appeared out of thin air in ZERO's right hand.

With the help of the scroll's faint light, the people present could vaguely see pure black gloves, but the scene on the screen changed in the next second.

With the bright moon hanging high in the starry sky, the audience at the scene had by then largely digested the information they had gathered.

In a private room, watching the scene on the screen, Kaito Kuroba shook his head with some boredom:

"I looked for a long time but still couldn't see me. I was really looking forward to seeing me show off my magic skills."

Kaito Kuroba was quite calm at the moment, because he didn't have to worry about his identity being exposed.

As for the abilities on the screen that clearly surpass science, Kaito Kuroba accepted them quite quickly. In his eyes, the transformation of the Giant of Light was equivalent to light magic.

Well, based on my understanding of how magic is named, that should be it.

While thinking, Kaito Kuroba glanced at the magician in the audience. As if sensing Kaito Kuroba's gaze, Akako also looked in his direction.

Outrageous.

This is probably all that Koizumi Akako is thinking right now. Although magic can do many things, it is obviously impossible to go directly to outer space and smash craters on the moon.

The little detective who transformed into a giant of light had destructive power that was simply outrageous. If that punch had landed on Earth, it probably would have wiped out a small mountain.

Then she realized that the child looked familiar, and realized she knew him.

At that moment, Koizumi Akako, who was still amazed by the power of that force, suddenly realized that she knew Conan. Wasn't that the man of light she had seen in the prophecy?

Hmm... So the Demon of Light refers to that power called the Giant of Light.

Thinking of this, Koizumi Akako revealed a knowing expression. Recalling the destructive power of that Light Demon, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that Kuroba Kaito hadn't been killed back then.

Goodness, that punch had the destructive power to smash a small mountain. Luckily, the two of them didn't directly confront each other back then.

Just then, the music on the screen suddenly became more urgent, birdsong rang out, and a figure slowly appeared under the bright moonlight.

"That is……"

Looking at the figure, Qingzi's expression was somewhat astonished. She was very familiar with the person who appeared at this moment, after all, she saw that guy every day.

"Me? I actually made an appearance?"

Looking at his own image on the screen, Kaito Kuroba felt a little panicked. Hey, didn't we agree that his identity as Kaito Kid wouldn't be exposed?

The background music and the scene are making me really uneasy. No matter how I look at it, the person on the screen seems to be stealing jewels.

"Who exactly are you?"

The scene on the screen shifted to the courtyard, where Snake looked at Kaito Kuroba with a rather unpleasant expression.

Faced with this questioning, Kaito Kuroba smiled calmly, grabbed his clothes and threw them aside, and in the next moment, his white clothes were as white as snow under the moonlight.

"You, you're Phantom Thief Kid!"

Looking at Kaito Kuroba under the moonlight, Snake pulled out his pistol without saying a word.

Chapter 505: It's alright, Kaito, we all know what's going on.

"No, that's right, I am Phantom Thief Kid!"

On the screen, Kaito Kuroba was wearing the signature outfit of Phantom Thief Kid, and his good looks, combined with the moonlight, successfully attracted a lot of attention.

"Quick, Kaito, you're actually the phantom thief who went against Dad!"

At this moment, Aoko turned around and looked at Kaito Kuroba with some surprise. Although she had already guessed it, her guess, which she did not quite believe, was now confirmed.

"Are you kidding me? Kaito, you're actually Kaito Kid!"

At that moment, a man's voice rang out, and Kaito Kuroba broke out in a cold sweat.

This is bad, this is bad.

Ugh! You promised you wouldn't expose my identity as Phantom Thief Kid, how come it's been exposed so quickly?

Hongzi gave a "good luck" look, while Qingzi wore a somewhat dangerous smile.

"Kaito... or Kid, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Kaito Kuroba, realizing he could no longer hide the truth, casually said, "Wait a minute, let me think about how to make this up."

Aoko watched Kaito Kuroba quietly. "Go ahead and try to come up with something," she thought. "Let's see what kind of tricks you can come up with."

Having realized there was no way to hide anymore and no need to continue hiding, Kaito Kuroba took a deep breath and said decisively, "I'm coming clean. I am Kaito Kid!"

Although Qingzi was mentally prepared for these decisive words, a hint of confusion still showed in her eyes.

Why would Kaito do something like this?

"Impossible! According to our intelligence, Phantom Thief Kid isn't here at all. Who are you, this guy pretending to be Phantom Thief Kid?"

However, Snake's voice continued to ring out on the screen the next second, instantly contradicting what Kaito Kuroba had just said.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba's tone became somewhat awkward. He realized he shouldn't have revealed his true colors so early.

That's terrible, absolutely terrible.

"You actually found out. Indeed, I am not Phantom Thief Kid."

Under the moonlight, Kaito Kuroba spoke calmly, and upon hearing this indifferent tone, Inspector Nakamori, Aoko's father who had just arrived in the private room, nodded.

That makes sense. How could the phantom thief who's been at odds with me for so long be just an ordinary high school student?

"Ah, this..."

Upon hearing Kaito Kuroba's admission on the screen, Aoko's voice sounded a little awkward. "You actually called yourself Kaito Kid... Kaito, what are you thinking?"

The questioning from before had now turned into a farce, and Kaito Kuroba looked somewhat embarrassed as he began to think about how to explain his firm and certain statement that he was Kaito Kid.

However, this explanation was really nice. It seems that if his identity is explained properly, it will not be exposed in the short term. The place where the intelligence gathers is the movie viewing notice, so there should be no mistake.

I was a little distrustful before, but it seems I can relax my guard a bit now.

But now I need to think of a reason first. If the version of myself on the screen can help me find a reason, that would be great.

Of course, no matter how you look at it, this is impossible. How could such a wonderful and lucky thing happen out of thin air, with the screen once again helping you out of a predicament?

"Who am I? Hmph, since that's the case, I'll tell you my true identity."

I am the puppeteer under the cover of night, the embodiment of trajectory and magic, the guide of destiny, and the destined successor of the star that devours all things, Kaito Kuroba.

I come from a purgatory deeper than darkness, and I will bring the declaration of the stars and the hymn of destruction!

Let this resound, the hymn of annihilation called upon by all stars.

On the screen, Kaito Kuroba covered his left eye with his right hand, and a faint light flashed in his pupil as the reflection of the starry sky appeared in his left eye.

Thanks, bro, that's so cringeworthy.

Kaito Kuroba's expression froze instantly as he looked at his own over-the-top chuunibyou on the screen.

Wait a minute, although this helped me out of a predicament in a way, it wasn't the way I wanted it to be.

Okay, now they'll probably only be agonizing over their own chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), and nobody will care about remembering this line anymore.

But, but I really don't have chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

I'm just an ordinary high school student. Although I work part-time as a famous phantom thief at night, it's very different from having a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) like covering my eyes with my right hand and thinking I'm some kind of Black Flame Emperor Dragon Envoy.

As for why I care so much?

Ahem, let's not dwell on the past. The past was a trial, and we can only grow by overcoming it.

Let the cringeworthy past fade away with the wind. When I was little, I was quite fooled by that system when I first got it.

Kaito Kuroba felt breathless thinking about the cringeworthy things he had said in other worlds. He felt that no one wanted to face their dark past.

The only thing I can relate to in any way right now is... those phantom thief announcements?

Can you call the phantom thief thing "chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur)? This is called atmosphere, do you understand atmosphere?

However, since his left eye was covered, no audience could see it at the moment, and facing the screen, Kuroba Kaito and Aoko were momentarily speechless:

"I think I understand now. You must have been thinking about Kaito Kid and Kaito. Did I... see something I shouldn't have seen?"

Looking at Aoko with a hint of understanding in her eyes, Kaito Kuroba sensed something was wrong, something very wrong.

"Oh, I remember now, kids Kaito's age seem to be prone to that kind of thing... oh right, I think it's called chuunibyou, right?"

At this moment, Nakamori Ginzo nodded, revealing an expression that said, "I think I understand." Akako, seeing this scene, inexplicably felt an urge to laugh.

"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing the misunderstanding between Aoko and Nakamori Ginzo in front of him, Kuroba Kaito quickly waved his hand.

“We all understand. Kaito, just be your chuunibyou all you want. Aoko and I aren’t some rigid old fogies.”

Nakamori Ginzo spoke in an understanding tone, while Kuroba Kaito wanted to shout that they didn't understand anything.

"Kaito, don't worry too much about my gaze. I don't care about such things. Please feel free to be as chuunibyou as you like~"

Aoko spoke gently, but beneath that gentleness lay a different attitude.

Kaito, Kaito, taking this opportunity to collect some of your embarrassing moments seems like a good choice.

If you see the embarrassing history I've collected when you've recovered from your chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), well, the scene will probably be quite interesting.

Oh, by the way, I'll send a copy to Aunt Qianying later.

Chapter 506: Kaito, stop now, there are police everywhere outside.

Just as Aoko thought she could seize the opportunity to turn the tide, Ran's expression in another private room was rather subtle: "This person looks just like Shinichi."

The appearance of Kuroba Kaito on the screen was quite similar to that of the high school detective. If it weren't for the name he gave earlier and his behavior, which might have been due to chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), I might have mistaken him for someone else.

But I never expected such a coincidence. There are actually two people in this world who look extremely similar, almost identical.

On the screen, Kaito Kuroba and Snake's group, bathed in moonlight, quickly drew their guns and aimed. Kaito Kuroba calmly stated:

"If I were you, I wouldn't choose to shoot at this moment."
