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

"What exactly is your relationship with Batman now? Why do you have so many Batman-style props?"

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kid simply reached into his pocket, preparing to retrieve other items to continue fighting, and subconsciously replied.

"How would I know such a thing?"

"...Wait a minute, what did you just call me?"

"Damn it, don't reveal someone's real name at a time like this! Do you think everyone commits crimes using their real name like you?!"

Kaito Kuroba suddenly realized that Lupin III had just called him by his real name, and said somewhat angrily.

At this point, he finally decided to get serious and snatch the Vespania Gem from Lupin III in one fell swoop.

However, Lupin III merely raised an eyebrow.

The world-renowned thief didn't seem to care much about it, and simply said...

"You talk as if your identity is really a secret."

"The high school detective I replaced knew your identity inside and out, but he just didn't arrest you directly, right?"

"If I had maintained the same level of secrecy as you, I might have been killed by someone by now."

...As if the situation in Tokyo is as dangerous as what you've done.

Kaito Kuroba thought to himself.

While Lupin III was still complaining about how well his identity was kept secret, he finally pulled out his secret weapon from his pocket.

Although Lupin III had noticed what Kaito Kuroba had taken out, he didn't pay it any mind, assuming it was probably something like a flashbang or a smoke bomb.

After all, this thing doesn't look like something that can be thrown out and produce any effect.

However, in the next instant, Lupin III felt his hand go empty.

He looked down in surprise at the hand that had been holding the Vespania gem.

But his hands were empty.

It wasn't some kind of illusion, nor was it any strange or chaotic situation; the Vespania gem simply vanished from his hands.

Seeing this, Lupin III looked up at Kaito Kid.

At this very moment, the Visbania Gem has already appeared in the hands of Phantom Thief Kid.

no doubt.

Kaito Kid has just pulled off an impossible heist.

"Hey, don't you have any self-awareness as a phantom thief?"

"If you're going to be a phantom thief, then use your real skills to steal it properly. Why resort to something like that?"

Lupin III put his hands on his hips and couldn't help but complain.

"Was that a magical item you just took out?"

As the world-renowned greatest phantom thief in history, he naturally reached the pinnacle in this field.

Even if Kaito Kuroba and Toichi Kuroba joined forces, they might not be able to take the Vespania Gem from him.

However, what if Kaito Kuroba suddenly pulls out something unexpected?

Therefore, even Lupin III would have difficulty reacting to a kill at first sight.

Just like it is now.

What magical item did Phantom Thief Kid just use that can move objects within a short distance?

So much so that the moment Lupin III's attention was drawn, Kaito Kid took the Vespania Jewel.

This kind of thing obviously cannot be calculated using common sense.

"Is a phantom thief something so inconvenient?"

Kaito Kid simply waved the Vespania gem in his hand and said matter-of-factly.

"Uncle, you should keep up with the times."

"And it's as if you wouldn't use something so useful just because I'm giving it to you."

"I bet you don't usually have this feature, do you?"

His words struck a nerve with Lupin III.

Lupin III's face darkened.

You, this naturally evil brat from the Kuroba family, really don't hold back when you speak.

But no matter what mythical creature or magical artifact it is, this isn't the first time I've dealt with it. Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?

Just as Lupin III was amused by Kaito Kuroba's words, he stretched his limbs and prepared to do his best to retrieve the Vespania Gem.

Footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor outside.

The next moment, accompanied by a sound like tearing brocade, a rectangle was neatly cut off the wall.

Then, the wall collapsed naturally along the rectangular outline.

Both Kaito Kuroba and Lupin III were instinctively choked by the dust that fell from the sudden turn of events.

Emerging from the smoke and dust was none other than Ishikawa Goemon.

The legendary swordsman fixed his gaze on Kaito Kuroba and Lupin III, and then spoke.

"Stop playing around, let's talk about it outside."

"Batman is here."

Upon hearing this, Lupin III sighed and finally said...

"Okay, okay, I'll let it go this time."

"But kid from the Kuroba family, remember this: I'm not just going to hand over the Gem of Vespania so easily, you know?"

"After we leave the Tokyo Grand Hotel, we'll settle things once and for all. I'll steal the Vespania Gem back right in front of you then."

However, upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba simply chuckled and said...

"Then I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."

“I don’t want this Vespania gem; I’m just here to get it for someone else.”

...To pick it up for someone else?

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in Lupin III's eyes, and he stroked his chin.

Then, Lupin III realized who the person Kaito Kid was talking about really was.

batman.

He clapped his hands and said.

"Oh, I see. I know, you came to get it for that big bat?"

"I was wondering why you had so many props that looked like they came from Batman this time. Turns out it was sponsored by Batman."

The greatest thief in history raised an eyebrow and then said with a grin.

"Alright, if that's the case, then you win this time."

"Of course, don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of you or Bat Boy."

"I'm just making sure today that the Vesbania gems don't fall into the hands of those who abuse them."

"Since Batman wants this Vispania gem, then I can rest assured."

After Lupin III finished speaking, he immediately looked at Ishikawa Goemon.

Ishikawa Goemon nodded slightly and immediately took out a folding glider from his backpack and tossed it to Lupin III.

Lupin III took it and carried it on his back.

Then he spoke to Phantom Thief Kid.

"Of course, although you won this time, you must remember that Lupin the Phantom Thief will never lose."

"Next time, I'll get my hands on the gem you want to steal before you even send out your notice."

"And he will leave the name of Phantom Thief Lupin III on the scene."

"If you can do it then, then try to take this gem back from me!"

Ishikawa Goemon did not participate in the conversation between Phantom Thief Lupin and his junior; he merely made a slight slash with his Zantetsu sword.

The window that was originally locked was instantly cut open.

To prevent the window from falling and potentially injuring someone, Ishikawa Goemon reached out and grabbed the edge of the window, then with a slight effort, removed the entire window and placed it inside the room.

He then tugged at Lupin III's collar and jumped out of the window.

Lupin III was suddenly pulled and, shouting, followed Ishikawa Goemon into freefall.

Only then, amidst numerous media outlets filming downstairs, did the white hang glider unfold.

They drove away without anyone noticing.

Upon seeing this, Phantom Thief Kid clicked his tongue in amazement, only to mutter to himself.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're just planning to use my name to steal things this time, aren't you?"

"Why do I remember you used to travel in a white hang glider?"

"What, are they going to pull some kind of phantom thief Kid disguised as Lupin to steal the Vispania Jewel?"

Although Kaito Kuroba was completely exasperated by this, he didn't say much and simply changed his clothes.

You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

What if I said that Lupin the Phantom Thief disguised himself as Kaito Kid to steal the Vispania Jewel?

While figuring out how to teach Lupin the Phantom Thief a lesson, Kaito Kuroba made his preparations.

Next, he met with Batman and handed over the Vespania Gem.

Given Batman's abilities, it's only a matter of time before he appears on this level.

It probably takes less than a minute, right?
