Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

On the other side, in a dilapidated building a few hundred meters away from the base.

Shuichi Akai witnessed the scene in the sky through his binoculars, his brow furrowed.

He naturally knew Kaito Kid.

'Was that some kind of magic trick that just made you hover in mid-air?'

Shuichi Akai didn't think in any other direction, after all, Kaito Kid loved to do some mysterious magic tricks.

It's not unusual for them to be able to pause briefly in the air.

What puzzled him was why the other party was here, and what was the meaning of the free fall just now.

Could it be that Phantom Thief Kid is also a member of that organization? Or is someone impersonating Phantom Thief Kid?

He had initially hoped to gain some useful information today, but now his mind was filled with even more questions.

However, it wasn't without its gains; at least he confirmed that the pharmaceutical manufacturing plant was indeed a base of the organization.

The woman who appeared at the door earlier was definitely Vermouth.

He had never seen the man and three women who had asked him to come out to greet him before, but that didn’t stop him from taking pictures of them to investigate later.

But... why did he feel that the little girl with tea-colored hair looked somewhat familiar?

"Hey! Haven't you seen enough?"

Suddenly, a displeased voice rang out from behind him.

"brush--"

"Bang bang bang!"

Shuichi Akai's pupils suddenly contracted. He instantly drew his pistol and fired behind him without even looking, then rolled to adjust his position.

Although he acted swiftly and without the slightest hesitation, his heart was already in turmoil.

He couldn't believe that someone could touch him from behind until the other person spoke up.

"whispering sound--"

Kirishima Aya, who was sent to catch the rats, curled her lip in disdain.

He easily dodged the bullets that flew towards him in a flash.

He felt a little annoyed just thinking about the gloating look on Hachiman's face when he was sent out.

That guy not only has feathers that look similar to mine, but he's also much stronger.

The thought of those dead fish eyes made him furious.

I was itching to vent my anger, so having a punching bag would be nice.

With that thought in mind, his gaze toward Shuichi Akai became much more affectionate.

Shuichi Akai, however, did not relax at all, even though he hadn't seen the other person dodging the bullets because he was rolling.

But he was extremely confident in his marksmanship; even if it were Gin, he wouldn't have been able to easily dodge those shots at such close range.

But this guy was completely unharmed, and given that the other party was able to silently get behind him, Shuichi Akai felt that he was likely to be in trouble today.

"Are you part of that organization?"

Quickly searching for a way to break the deadlock, Shuichi Akai could only try to buy time with words.

His left hand was secretly preparing to send a message when the opportunity arose.

"Oh, so what if it is?"

Kirishima Aya didn't mind playing along, since he wouldn't really stand out even if she went back.

He always felt so out of place surrounded by a group of psychopaths.

What's your code name?

Seeing that his opponent was not in a hurry to make a move, Shuichi Akai slowly stood up, his gaze remaining calm.

“Heh…” Kirishima Ayato sneered and said, “Black Rabbit.”

"Black Rabbit?"

Shuichi Akai frowned, puzzled as to why an organization whose codenames were all based on alcoholic beverages would have someone codenamed an animal.

"Do you know Gin?"

Shuichi Akai began to have doubts about the other party's true identity.

"Gin? Who would know a guy like that?"

Kirishima Aya didn't care at all. He had no idea what Gin was. He didn't know more than ten people in this world.

"I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."

Shuichi Akai wasn't sure if the other party was playing him, but he still tried to see if they could compromise.

"Enough with the nonsense. There's no misunderstanding between us. Today, you either kill me or I break your limbs and drag you away. The choice is yours."

Kirishima Ayato was getting impatient, whining like a woman.

"Come on, let me see what you're really made of."

Chapter 114 No, you want to!

As soon as he finished speaking, Kirishima Ayato closed in instantly and threw a punch at Akai Shuichi's face.

Akai Hideaki's expression changed instantly. He didn't have time to worry about the message that hadn't been sent yet, and stretched out his arm to try to block the punch.

"boom--"

A heavy thud was heard, and Shuichi Akai's body flew out horizontally, crashing into the wall and falling to the ground.

Clutching his right arm with a pained expression, he looked at Kirishima Ayato, whose expression was somewhat amused, with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

He felt as if his bones were about to crack from that punch.

Is this guy's fist made of iron?

Despite the excruciating pain, he drew his gun again and fired, not bothering to talk to his opponent about the unwritten rules of close combat.

This time, Shuichi Akai truly saw how his opponent had dodged bullets.

He couldn't really say he saw it; the other party moved too fast. He could only see the figure flash by, and the bullets hit the wall behind him.

Is such a speed really human?

Shuichi Akai's face turned extremely ugly. Facing such a monster, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Even against Gin, he could fight him to a standstill, but now he felt like a mouse being toyed with at will.

He knew he had no other way out but to grit his teeth and fight back.

Kirishima Ayato never took Akai Shuichi seriously from beginning to end.

Having finally found someone he could beat, he naturally wanted to fully enjoy the thrill of the battle.

It's pointless to kill them all at once.

"Bang—bang—bang—"

The sounds of impact could be heard continuously from inside the dilapidated building.

Every time their bodies collided, cold sweat would break out on Shuichi Akai's forehead.

After several visits, his face had turned somewhat pale.

His arms bent irregularly.

My heart is heavy; I never imagined my first day in Japan would turn out like this.

Compared to this guy, Gin is practically a docile little lamb.

A few minutes later.

Kaito Kuroba, whose nose was still bleeding, turned pale when he saw the man dragged in by Ayato Kirishima, whose limbs were strangely bent and who had already fainted.

At the same time, I felt a sense of relief.

Turns out I'm not the worst off after all...

Seeing Haibara Ai's strange expression, Shangguan Yun asked in confusion, "Do you know this person?"

Ai Haibara looked at Shuichi Akai's miserable appearance, feeling a little sorry for him, but also a little pleased.

Hearing Shangguan Yun's question, he nodded. "He's my sister's ex-boyfriend, a scumbag."

Shangguan Yun understood; he was probably someone who was still entangled with the organization. Vermouth obviously recognized him as well, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

They didn't care who this guy was; anyone who dared to secretly film them would have to face the consequences of being caught.

"Chris, this guy is yours now. Thor, cast a memory-erasing spell on him."

Vermouth was pleasantly surprised; she hadn't expected to catch such a big fish in the FBI's net today.

She had no intention of killing him. With all four limbs broken, even if healed, he would no longer be able to fight and would no longer pose any threat.

Using the other party allows you to negotiate with the FBI, which is much more cost-effective than killing them outright.

Whether the FBI intervenes or not, they will suffer a huge loss.

As for extracting information from him, Vermouth never even considered it.

As the FBI's most elite trained agent, he has almost no means to subdue his opponents.

She didn't ask Shangguan Yuntuoer if he had any magic to probe memories or anything like that; she wouldn't do something that would damage her goodwill.

Thor had returned to human form, but the others still looked at her with awe.

He extended his index finger, and a magic circle appeared on it. He touched the forehead of the unconscious Shuichi Akai, erasing all memories of what he had seen in that apartment building that day.

Although the other side didn't see anything important, Kirishima Ayato didn't even use his kagune.

Vermouth had Shuichi Akai carried out.

Ai Haibara never asked what would happen to the other party or pleaded for their life.

As a top FBI agent, she was supposed to be prepared to be captured, so she wouldn't worry about it, let alone that it was Shangguan Yun's decision.

"Um... could you erase my memory too, and then let me go?"

Having witnessed all of this firsthand, Kaito Kuroba said cautiously with a mournful face.

"You want to be treated like this, even with broken limbs?"

"No, no, no—"

Kaito Kuroba shook his head wildly; he didn't want his limbs broken—it looked so painful.

The reason Shangguan Yun didn't have Thor erase Kaito Kuroba's memories and throw him out was because he discovered that this guy had good cultivation aptitude.

Although he has passed the best age for training, isn't Hachiman's example right in front of him?

Who knows, we might even create a second cultivation genius.

"Having seen a dragon, don't you have any thoughts? Don't you want to possess great power?"

Shangguan Yun said very gently.

"I don't want to..."

"No, you want to."

"..."

Kaito Kuroba was terrified; he didn't know whether he wanted to or not.

Actually, that's mostly what I was thinking.

Which teenager isn't a bit immature? They witness a legendary creature appear in reality, and the gates of the mystical world are opening for them.

This is even more exciting than discovering that his own father is a world-renowned thief!

But he was a little scared. He was just an ordinary high school student. How could the other party help him gain such great power?
