Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

He was afraid his mother would beat him if she found out he was competing in magic tricks with a little kid!

It’s really bullying!

"Wait! Sonoko, are you serious?"

"Xiao Luo is still so young, magic and all that..."

Naoko Kuroda and Kikue Tanaka, standing nearby, excitedly protected the little boy.

Even magic enthusiasts know the age differences between different magicians.

When talents are similar, even a difference of just one year can represent a wealth of experience.

Not to mention a little boy who looks like he's still in first or second grade!

"Don't worry, my Xiao Luo is very capable!"

Sonoko is quite possessive when it comes to women who are not her sisters.

He kept referring to Xiao Luo as "my little Luo," practically pulling out the property ownership certificate!

Fortunately, everyone present was a normal person and didn't misunderstand her words.

Just take it as an expression of a sister's affection for her brother.

"That's right! I'm really awesome!"

Luo Tian also cooperated by standing on the chair with his hands on his hips.

Under the effect of the True Sight, Doi Takaki's camouflage was completely ineffective.

What he saw was clearly a figure that looked very much like Shinichi Kudo—Kaito Kuroba!

"Alright, alright! Let's have a competition then!"

Kaito Kuroba relaxed when he was facing a small child.

He planned to just throw it together casually, so that it wouldn't matter whether he won or lost.

Anyway, no one would take a competition with a child seriously, right?

……

A few minutes later, Luo Tian and Kuroba Kaito, who were ready, stood across the table in the living room.

The others gathered around, ready to enjoy this magic duel where the skill gap was enormous.

Aside from the garden, no one had high hopes for this cute little boy.

In their view, no matter how smart a child is, he can probably only perform a beginner-level magic trick.

For example, hiding a coin between your fingers to make it disappear, or suspending something with a thin thread to make it appear to float.

Even Kaito Kuroba thinks so!

Therefore, he only planned to perform a relatively simple card trick.

Children first!

Kaito Kuroba placed a deck of cards on the table and, seeing that Luo Tian seemed unprepared, politely gave up his right to play first.

"Then I'll start!"

Luo Tian didn't stand on ceremony and simply lifted the tablecloth, covering his hands with it.

This action also caused the deck of cards on the table to scatter all over the floor.

Kaito Kuroba picked up the cards expressionlessly, but his liking for the little boy in front of him had decreased considerably.

Sure enough! Whether it's the one with glasses I saw on the cruise last time, or this one, kids are always such a hassle!

"Sorry."

After saying that casually, Luo Tian continued his performance.

He waved his free hand across the tablecloth repeatedly, as if he were casting some kind of spell.

In reality, a box was taken out of the pocket of a coat in the [Heilan Home] wardrobe.

To others, this scene appeared as a rectangular prism shape appearing out of thin air in the little boy's hand, which was covered by a tablecloth.

This made them all stare in surprise.

From the perspective of magic itself, this level of close-up magic is nothing special.

Whether through hidden mechanisms or exceptional skills, they can achieve this.

Not to mention inanimate objects, they can even conjure up living creatures like rabbits and pigeons.

The problem is, the person performing this magic trick is just a cute little boy!

Moreover, Luo Tian was wearing short sleeves because of the hot summer temperature!

They're using the same tablecloths from the villa!

At first glance, they couldn't see any flaws at all.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it wasn't magic, but sorcery!

"This kid's got some skills!"

Kaito Kuroba was also taken aback for a moment.

Even with his keen insight, he couldn't discern Luo Tian's method.

Although there was a momentary lapse in attention and a lack of careful observation, this is enough to explain the reason!

If it weren't for the fact that his identity couldn't be revealed, he would have wanted to take Luo Tian as his disciple!

With such talent, it would be such a waste if he didn't become a magician and make a name for himself!

To his surprise, the little boy lifted the tablecloth, took out the gift box, and then handed it to him.

“This is a gift!”

With a bright smile, Luo Tian placed the box on the table.

"Gift?"

Kaito Kuroba picked up the box instinctively and repeated the instructions.

"Yes! It's perfectly normal to bring a gift when meeting someone for the first time, isn't it?"

Luo Tian tilted his head, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

"So, we also have a share of this gift?"

Araki Yoshino and the others also gathered around, not expecting the little boy to do something like this.

For a moment, they were all moved!

Kaito Kuroba cursed himself under his breath!

Such a good child, and I was just making things up about him in my mind!

Damn it!!!

"Thank you so much, little brother. Let me see what this is?"

After sincerely thanking him, Kaito Kuroba eagerly opened the gift box.

Judging from the heavy weight of the box and the fact that everyone could get a share, he deduced what kind of food it contained.

And just as he predicted!

However... there is a slight discrepancy!

"Oh! There's a fish inside... Wait! A fish?! Uh—"

"Doi-kun?! Doi-kun!"

"Tucker Tree! What's wrong with you, Tucker Tree?!"

Everyone looked puzzled as they watched Doi Takaki suddenly disappear under the table.

Everything was fine just a moment ago, how did it suddenly turn into this ghostly state?!

"Could it be that this guy is actually afraid of fish?"

Looking at the contents of the box, Kikue Tanaka couldn't help but speculate.

Inside the rectangular box, surrounded by crushed ice, was a red, freshly frozen fish.

The golden croaker is a fairly famous type of fish found in Japan.

It's made in Hokkaido, and if other places want it, it often needs to be chilled and air-freighted over.

Both the transportation and the price itself are quite high.

If given as a gift, it really shows the recipient's sincerity!

Fresh, chilled golden snapper like this is perfect for grilling, and it allows everyone to have some.

Faced with such a wonderful gift in every way, if it weren't for his fear of fish, Kikue Tanaka would never have been able to understand why this guy had suddenly gone crazy.

"Really? Would anyone be afraid of a dead fish?"

Sonoko looked at Doi Takaki, who was huddled under the table, and her face was filled with a triumphant expression.

Regardless, she gave this annoying kid a good lesson!

Although it was Luo Tian who made the move, since it was her boyfriend, it was practically as if she herself had made the move!

"Honey! You did a great job!"

Overjoyed, Sonoko picked up the little boy and gave him a big kiss.

She was so excited that she forgot to hide her true form of address.

Fortunately, everyone else was focused on Doi Takaki, who had suddenly fallen ill, and didn't notice what was happening here.

……

It took more than ten minutes, until the golden bream was brought into the kitchen, for Kaito Kuroba to regain his composure.

Sitting in the chair, he looked at Luo Tian surrounded by three beautiful women and felt an indescribable awkwardness in his heart.

Fish have always been one of his greatest weaknesses!

When he saw that there was a fish in the box, his first thought was that the other party knew his identity and deliberately sent this to disgust him!

But the next second, he dismissed the idea himself!

How is this possible? !

The other party was just a child who came to the party, and even Sonoko, the girl, was someone he had only met by chance on the forum.

It's impossible for my true identity to be discovered!

Moreover, this gift is excellent in every way!

Summer is the perfect season for barbecues, so a chilled golden snapper would be the perfect gift!

Besides, his forum ID is "Red Herring," and golden herrings are also red!

Maybe the other person thought I liked fish, which is why they specifically chose this gift?!

Thinking of this, Kaito Kuroba still held his nose and resigned himself to his bad luck.

"I'm sorry, little brother, I actually have a natural fear of fish, it's not that I don't like your gift!"

Fearing that the little boy might feel wronged, he even took the initiative to apologize.

"It's okay! I understand!"

Luo Tian smiled and waved his hand, then put his phone back in his pocket.

He naturally recorded what just happened, so that he could use it as dirt to disgust Kaito Kuroba in the future!

"But you're such a big guy, how can you be afraid of fish?"

"Indeed, Tucker Tree, your weakness is rather peculiar!"

"He's so fat, yet he can't even handle a fish..."

"So you're not going to eat the grilled fish when it's ready?"

Others also began to share their opinions on what had just happened.
