Jirokichi Suzuki accepted the challenge simply because his recent training had been too boring and he wanted to stretch his muscles.

Anyone who is constantly bullied and treated like a pushover will want to regain some face in other ways.

Therefore, the completely unaware Suzuki Jirokichi became Kaito's target for showing off this time.

"Hmm...should we make it a little more difficult for him?"

Shangguan Yun stroked his chin thoughtfully, thinking it would be a good opportunity to see if the other party had made any progress recently.

Finally, Shangguan Yun took out his phone and dialed Hikigaya's number.

"Senior Shangguan?!"

Hachiman Hikigaya, who was lying on the sofa at home watching TV, was startled when he suddenly received a call from Shangguan Yun.

She quickly covered the microphone and ran back to her room under Komachi Hikigaya's curious gaze.

This strange behavior made Komachi Hikigaya even more curious.

She discovered that since her brother became "Superman," his personality hadn't changed much; he still had that deadpan look and a cynical attitude.

But her demeanor is completely different from before; she seems... to be more confident.

However, whenever she asked him about what he usually did, he would never tell her, which made her both upset and curious.

She wouldn't even let him touch his beautiful wings again.

mean!

"Hachiman, have you seen the recent news?"

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was hiding in his room, heard Shangguan Yun's question and replied, "I saw it. Did Kaito cause you any trouble? I'll go tell him right now."

"No, that's your freedom. I won't interfere if you want to become some kind of superhero."

"Uh... never mind..."

He has no interest in being a superhero; isn't staying home watching anime and playing video games more appealing?

"I'm calling to ask if you'd be interested in giving Kaito a surprise on Saturday night? Performing alone is kind of boring."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately assured him:

"Don't worry, I guarantee that Kaito Kid's performance will be spectacular!"

After seeing how many fans Kaito Kid has, especially since most of them are female, he was already incredibly envious.

During training, I felt like I had to beat him up eight or nine times a day to dispel his resentment towards the "norm" in his heart.

Now that he has such a good opportunity, he naturally won't miss it.

"Kaito, don't blame me for being ruthless; this is just an order from our senior."

Hachiman Hikigaya's lips curled into a sinister smile.

Komachi Hikigaya, who had just secretly opened the door a crack, saw her older brother's smile and couldn't help but get goosebumps.

'Dude, are you in heat? Why are you laughing like that...?'

After ending the conversation, Hachiman Hikigaya found Kaito's friend, grinned, typed a message, and sent it.

'Brother, please don't be offended, I had no choice, hahaha...'

Kaito Kuroba, who was preparing props for Saturday's performance with his butler and assistant, Mr. Terai Kinosuke, was suddenly bewildered by the cryptic message from Hachiman Hikigaya.

Did this guy take the wrong medicine?

Unaware that his attempt to show off might backfire, Kaito Kuroba could only think this way.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

Terai Kinosuke looked at Kaito, who was staring intently at his phone, and asked in confusion.

He couldn't quite figure out his young master's recent actions; he hadn't even come home after school.

Kaito hasn't told the other person what happened to him yet, because he's afraid the old man is too old to accept it all at once.

Shangguan Yun allowed him to explain the situation to his family, and his mother already knew.

Although he was shocked at first, his eyes widened even more when he saw Kaito's four gracefully swaying kagune.

But the easygoing Chikage Kuroba quickly calmed down and even wanted Kaito to install a few strips for her as well.

Of course, this is just a joke...

He regained his composure and shook his head at Terai Kinosuke.

"It's nothing, just a spam message."

He turned around and went back to fiddling with his props.

He's determined to wow everyone with his solo show on Saturday night!

At Shangguan Yun's home.

Seeing that Ai Haibara seemed somewhat interested, Shangguan Yun said, "How about we go out for a bit on Saturday night? Anyway, Saturday is just for scouting, so let's make it a little more difficult for him."

Hachiman Hikigaya was just an ordinary high school student before, unlike Kaito Kuroba, who is a world-class magician.

At most, it can only cause some trouble for Kaito, because Kaito not only has many strange gadgets, but he also has the abilities of a half-ghoul.

He felt that if they really clashed, it was uncertain who would be at a disadvantage...

Chapter 156 This guy is really good at pretending

"I want to go too! I want to go too!"

Thor peeked out from the kitchen, along with Kanna, who had a chicken wing in her mouth.

"Then let's go together."

Shangguan Yun agreed, as he had never intended to abandon Thor and Kanna.

"Yun, can I join in? It sounds like a lot of fun!"

Thor said excitedly.

"I want to play too."

Kanna raised her little hand to join in the fun.

"..."

Do you guys want to turn Kaito to ashes by getting involved?

Shangguan Yun naturally did not agree to the two dragons' demands.

He just wanted to make things more difficult for the other person, not to send him away directly.

Saturday night arrived quickly.

The television station has started broadcasting live the situation near the Suzuki Museum.

Even the ever-ambitious Mr. Jirokichi Suzuki took the opportunity to promote the Suzuki Museum.

Shangguan Yun and the others had arrived near the museum.

"The scene is quite grand."

Looking at the large group of people temporarily blocked outside and the several helicopters patrolling the sky, Shangguan Yun felt a bit emotional.

"Are all thieves in this world this high-class?"

Thor was somewhat shocked by the scene before him. In their community, if any thief dared to do such a thing, he would definitely be beaten to death.

"By the way, when is that guy coming?"

"It's 7:40 now. The announcement said 8:00. There are still 20 minutes left."

Ai Haibara glanced at her watch and replied.

He easily made his way across the crowd to the front, where a policeman with a small mustache was shouting into a walkie-talkie.

With his flamboyant beard and eyebrows, and his bald head gleaming, Suzuki Jirokichi walked over.

Officer Nakamori, who had just yelled into the walkie-talkie, grabbed the other man's shoulder and said angrily, "You?! The culprit who caused this commotion?!"

"Move those helicopters away immediately! They're the ones interfering with the police helicopters and preventing them from taking off!"

Jirokichi Suzuki remained unmoved, even telling the other party that they didn't need the police helicopter and that it was better to just leave it at that.

As an advisor to the Suzuki Group, he didn't need to be mindful of the police's feelings.

"Ah! Why isn't Lord Kid here yet?"

A young female voice rang out beside Shangguan Yun.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a girl wearing an orange headband was twisting her body in a completely unladylike manner.

A girl with horns on her head looked at the other person helplessly: "They're coming to steal your family's jewels, aren't you worried at all?"

"Hmph, I originally said I could sit on the roof with that jewel-encrusted goddess statue and wait, but Uncle Jirokichi wouldn't allow it!"

Ran Mouri looked speechlessly at her best friend Sonoko Suzuki, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said, "You don't mean to let Kid steal you away too, do you?"

To everyone's surprise, the other party nodded directly, "Yes, yes, if I get captured, Makoto will definitely come to save me! Ah... what will Sonoko do if those two men fight for me?"

Shangguan Yun listened to the two girls' conversation and silently moved to the side.

'Being a fangirl is really scary...'

Ai Haibara noticed the little boy with large-framed glasses at the feet of the two girls.

He recognized the other person at a glance—the high school detective, Shinichi Kudo, who was already 'confirmed dead'.

Seeing the other person's cute expression, pretending to be a mentally challenged elementary school student, Ai Haibara felt a sense of relief.

She had even considered seeking refuge with the other party before, but luckily she encountered a ghoul on the way that rainy night and was rescued by Shangguan Yun.

The thought of having to follow Shangguan Yun around like a cute little kid all day if she hadn't met him sent chills down her spine...

Conan seemed to realize that someone was watching him, and turned his head to look, only to see the back of a brown-haired head.

He scratched his head, not taking it to heart, and looked around, trying to find traces of Phantom Thief Kid.

'That guy has escaped several times before; this time I'm determined to catch him myself!'

"coming!"

Suddenly, a shout rang out from the crowd, and everyone looked up.

Under the bright moonlight, a white figure glided through the air toward them.

The crowd suddenly stirred, with some people even waving their light sticks.

It's just like a celebrity is about to hold a concert.

"Phantom Thief Kid!!"

"It really is Kidd!"

"Lord Kidd! I want to have your babies!!!"

"Get out of my way, you burly man! Lord Kidd is mine!"

"..."

"Ah!!! Ran, look! Kid is really here!"

Sonoko Suzuki excitedly jumped up and down with Ran, almost kicking Conan who was standing to the side.

"This guy is really popular."

Ai Haibara looked at the frenzied crowd with some surprise, not understanding why these guys would idolize a thief so much.

"Advisor! What do we do?!"

One of the employees spoke up somewhat nervously, "Just to be on the safe side, shouldn't we activate that device and move the statue inside?"

Suzuki Jirokichi simply waved his hand and spoke in a loud voice.

"No need! Don't panic! We're just here to take a look; this guy won't steal anything!"

His words revealed confidence and his understanding of Kaito Kid.
