Chapter 116: Good Boy Kidd: Big Stars Are So Terrible! ...
Compared to the unfamiliar Kaito Kid, Hasegawa Yu is more familiar with the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Due to the flow of people and security issues when holding concerts or participating in various commercial performances, Hasegawa Yu's team often cooperates and communicates with the police from the Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Department and the Mobile Team.
We can be said to be old acquaintances.
So on the day of the concert, when Hasegawa Yu saw the Inspector of Investigation Section 2 leading a group of mobile teams and class members, he felt a little curious.
After the world merged, there were many more police officers that I had never seen before.
"I'm Ginzo Nakamori, a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division's Intelligent Criminal Investigation Unit."
Meeting the star's gaze, Nakamori Ginzo clenched his fist against his lips and coughed a few times. "Regarding the security of 'Deep Blue Dream', I think you need to carefully consider it."
"At least..." He took a deep breath, "We can't just leave it unprotected in the dressing room!"
This gem alone is worth 100 million!
The manager, brown-haired and brown-eyed, wearing a blue plaid suit, adjusted the frame of his gold-rimmed glasses and explained, "Because Yu-chan will be wearing them during the opening, it's more convenient to put them in the dressing room."
There are still three hours before the concert officially starts, and Hasegawa Yu will use this jeweled crown in her opening and closing looks.
The backstage of the concert had already been screened by Awu and his team. Basically, all those who stayed were staff members with whom they had worked together for a long time. Their character and reputation were guaranteed, so they naturally came as they pleased.
Nakamori Ginzo disagreed, "Kaito Kid is an expert in disguise, and he could very well replace any of you."
"Heh." Wu crossed his arms, his expression gloomy enough to drip water, and a devilish aura emanating from his back. "Then let him come."
"!" Nakamori Ginzo's police radar dinged and he almost pulled out his gun.
Why does this bodyguard smell like a criminal!
Hasegawa Yu called out, "Awu."
The blond, blue-eyed bodyguard's expression instantly returned to normal, the dark aura vanishing, and he spoke calmly, "What I meant was, I'll keep an eye on Yu-chan's jeweled crown."
Ginzo Nakamori looked at him suspiciously.
"According to the time interpreted from Kidd's notice, he will take action fifteen minutes before the concert begins."
Cui Nanhao suddenly spoke up, "Before this, Officer Nakamori, should we make any preparations?"
The matter of Kaito Kidd was more important right now, and Nakamori Ginzo was drawn back to his attention. "We need to limit the number of people entering and leaving the dressing room. Considering Kidd can disguise himself... Wait, how did you know he would take action fifteen minutes before the show started?"
"Have you solved the puzzle in the preview letter?!"
Hasegawa Yu raised his hand, "I asked for outside help to solve the puzzle."
After a while, Mr. Foreign Aid also came to the backstage of the concert.
"Anyway, since there's such a huge traffic jam on the road from Tokyo to Yokohama, it would be too exaggerated to just fly here by helicopter!" Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but complain.
The concert was held at the Yokohama International Stadium, a stadium that can accommodate 72,000 people. Even the more famous Tokyo Dome can only accommodate 55,000 people.
Hasegawa Yu, who has held several concerts at Tokyo Dome, chose this place specifically to allow more fans to buy tickets.
"This is an occasion where Yuu-chan and Kidd-sama appear at the same time, how could I miss it!" Suzuki Sonoko held her face with her hands, "Ah~ It's so hard to decide whether to support Yuu-chan or Kidd-sama."
Mao Lilan was helpless, "Sonoko."
Kudo Shin's half moon eyes.
"Shinichi~" Hasegawa Yuu came over when he saw his acquaintance, "Subaru is here too~"
Looking at the superstar getting closer and closer, Suzuki Sonoko quickly changed her tone, "I support Yu-chan."
She touched her chin and said, "Something's wrong. Why have I never thought about chasing offline before?"
She clearly bought albums by the box!
Knowing the truth, Kudo Shinichi silently turned his eyes away.
"After all, Xiaoyou sent me concert tickets, how could I not come?"
A few days ago, he was secretly restricted from entering Japan by the Japanese public security. Wearing a disguise, Akai Shuichi said calmly: "But thanks to Miss Sonoko, I didn't get late."
"It's nothing." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand.
Hasegawa Yu looked at the other two high school girls who had not retained their memories of the collapsed world, "Hello~"
It was the first time for Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki to face the superstar in her gorgeous attire at such a close distance, and they couldn't help but blush.
The latter took out an album from his bag and said, "You-chan, I'm a corn stick. Can you sign it for me?"
"Of course no problem." Hasegawa Yu took the initiative and said, "Would you like to take a photo with us?"
While friendly fan interaction was going on here, Nakamori Ginzo looked at the high school detective in front of him and felt as if it was just as he expected. "You little brat again."
Although Kudo Shinichi did not become an elementary school student in the rebooted world, he still became Kidd's nemesis reported by the media.
"Don't worry, Officer Nakamori, I will definitely catch Kaito Kid this time!" Kudo Shinichi said the usual lines every time he confronted Kid.
And Ginzo Nakamori also started the routine that they would do every time they captured Kidd - pinching each other's faces.
The enthusiastic Hasegawa Yu was very cooperative, "Come on."
Under the gaze of almost everyone present, Nakamori Ginzo's hand stopped at the orange-haired young man's flawless face, hesitant to move, "..."
Hasegawa Yu tilted his head in confusion, "?"
Ginzo Nakamori: I can’t do it anymore!
He suddenly remembered something, "Ahem, Hagiwara, you take charge of Hasegawa Yu."
Nakamori Ginzo decisively shifted the pressure. "Hagiwara and Matsuda are officers who recently transferred from the Public Security Bureau to the Mobile Bomb Disposal Squad. Their abilities are no problem, so I've seconded them this time."
“I heard they are your fans too.”
Hasegawa Yu's eyes lit up when he saw his acquaintance again.
He smiled and pretended not to know them, "Hello, officers~"
Hagiwara Kenji successfully pinched the big star's face under the countless gazes in secret, and cooperated with him, "You-chan, I like you very much~"
Hasegawa Yu noticed that Hagiwara Kenji's hand seemed to tremble.
He turned to observe Matsuda Jinpei's hands and subconsciously asked, "Have you guys been quitting smoking recently?"
Kenji Hagiwara/Jinpei Matsuda: "...Yeah."
After the world restarted, in order to speed up the process of overthrowing the organization, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda also joined the public security department with higher authority.
It was not until the organization was destroyed that they applied to be transferred back to the explosives squad.
During this period, thinking that they couldn't see anyone and smoking could relieve stress well, the two of them unknowingly picked it up again.
No wonder Yan Er and Zhen Ping were very active in video chatting with me recently, but rarely met in person.
Hasegawa Yu didn't say anything else. He lowered his head and took out two candies from his pocket, placing them in the palms of the two people's hands. "Then you are great. Thank you for your hard work."
The orange-haired young man, wearing a brightly colored performance costume and glittery eye makeup, raised his lips, put a finger to his lips, closed one eye, and whispered, "This is a reward for good children. These are the last two I have."
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, who were holding candies in their hands, said: "!"
Oops, Yu-chan (Xiao Yu) is twice as powerful at work!
"cough."
Nakamori Ginzo, who was standing by, coughed for who knows how many times today and stammered, "Actually, my daughter is also a fan of yours..."
"Do we need to take a picture of her?" Hasegawa Yuu said, deftly following the procedure and pulling out a pen. "What's the name of Officer Nakamori's daughter?"
"Aoko."
After completing the task assigned by his daughter, Ginzo Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief and returned to work.
Seeing a bunch of police rushing into the dressing room, Cui Nanhao stood outside and glanced at the high school detective who was obviously familiar with his own artist, with a hint of meaning.
"As long as it doesn't affect the concert, Yuu-chan is actually looking forward to meeting Kaito Kid in person."
Kudo Shinichi, who helped set up the dragnet to capture Kidd: "...Huh?"
What to do then, should he go find Kidd now and ask Kidd to come in with his face?
"Hatch!"
Kuroba Kaito, who was lying in the ventilation duct, sneezed.
He observed the staff coming and going below, looking for a suitable person to disguise himself and the right time.
After a while, Kuroba Kaito finally selected his target and jumped down from the ventilation duct.
The easiest way to start is from the concert stage, but...
Thinking of his childhood sweetheart who was waiting for him at the concert venue and was looking forward to the concert, Kuroba Kaito, who had only heard a few songs of the big star and was considered a casual fan, gritted his teeth and said, "This is a bit troublesome."
I feel inexplicably stressed.
The online discussion also believes that he will never succeed.
According to rumors circulating online, every staff member of Hasegawa Yu's team is extraordinary.
An agent who came from a Korean chaebol but passed the Japanese bar exam; a bodyguard whose background is a mystery and whose aura and appearance are particularly like those of a gang boss; an assistant who won the Spartan Warriors Championship and knows Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; and a stylist who is like a naked eye scanner and can accurately identify the physical data of all kinds of people, etc.
Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito, who thought that the stylist would be easier to target, followed the stylist not far away and entered the bathroom just after him.
The anesthetic needle was ejected and hit the target's neck. The stylist spun around in a daze and fainted gracefully on the toilet.
Kuroba Kaito: “…”
There's something weird about that.
Time was running out, and Kuroba Kaito didn't care about anything else. He changed into the stylist's clothes and found a way to get into the dressing room.
The gem he was targeting was placed on the dressing table.
Only Hasegawa Yu was sitting at the table.
Kuroba Kaito cheered himself up and walked towards the big star with the makeup box in his hand.
However, as the distance between them gradually decreased, a sense of fear arose in his heart for unknown reasons.
Kuroba Kaito unconsciously slowed down his pace.
What’s going on? My scalp feels tingling as if I’ve seen a fish.
He looked around without leaving any trace. How could there be fish in a celebrity's dressing room!
Hasegawa · Extra Large Fish · You noticed the person coming and said, "Louis."
Kuroba Kaito stood five steps away from him, not daring to get any closer.
If you think about it carefully, there are so many extraordinary people in the team, so how can the big star who is the core of the entire team have an easy life?
Kuroba Kaito, who had never felt fear in any situation except when he fell into the sea and encountered a fish, agreed with this.
This big star is so scary!
"Louis?"
Not getting a response, Hasegawa Yu blinked, then stood up and took a step closer to the person, "What's wrong with you?"
Awu glanced at the person carrying the makeup box as if he had sensed something, and was secretly alert.
Cui Nanhao continued to check the concert schedule with the staff, and seemed to have no time to pay attention to them.
In another corner of the dressing room, Kudo Shinichi, who was left behind after sending everyone else backstage, was flipping through the fashion magazine in his hand boredly.
Nakamori Ginzo stood at the door of the dressing room with his arms folded, looking as imposing as ever. "Everyone, be alert! Don't let any suspicious individuals go!"
Kuroba Kaito: “…”
Something is wrong.
Among so many people, the person who made him feel most secure was Officer Nakamori!
Kuroba Kaito resisted the urge to step back, "I'll confirm the final performance look for Yuu-chan."
"Okay, okay~" Hasegawa Yu responded excitedly upon hearing the voice, "The concert is about to start, let's hurry up."
Wow, I saw a living thief!
This false voice is so perfect. If I hadn't learned it in the Honkai World, I would definitely want to become Kaito Kidd's apprentice.
Kuroba Kaito bravely took a half-step forward, "There are some details on Yu-chan's clothes that need to be adjusted. Let's go to the changing room over there."
Hasegawa Yuu picked up the small box containing the jeweled crown with great courtesy, "Okay."
Seeing the two people enter the dressing room, Matsuda Jinpei, who was standing at the door of the dressing room, retracted his gaze and asked, "Is it okay to let them in like this?"
"Well, I heard Kaito Kid never hurts anyone, so we can rest assured." Hagiwara Kenji winked at Yukunran, "And Noah has found out his true identity, so there's no problem."
Matsuda Jinpei turned a blind eye and said, "Alright."
Kuroba Kaito, who had no idea that his past had been exposed, felt even more suffocated after entering the changing room.
Who come and save him!
What's going on with this weird feeling of being alone in a room with fish?
Seeing that no one was coming towards him, Hasegawa You considerately opened the small box and took out the jeweled crown inside, "Louis, if you delay any longer, it will be too late."
"Nothing else matters, but the concert must not be delayed."
Kuroba Kaito prepared himself mentally and took a step forward. "You already know who I am!"
Hasegawa Yu: "Hehe~"
He just knew it!
Kuroba Kaito, increasingly feeling that being a big star was not without reason to scare him, tore off his disguise and said, "Even so, I won't give up."
"Wow!" Hasegawa Yuu clapped his hands. "How did you do that? So cool!"
Disguise is fine, but how did he change his clothes in such an instant?
It's amazing. If he learns this, will he not have to rush to change clothes during his concerts?
Hasegawa Yu was eager to make a move, "Can you reveal a little bit?"
"Thanks for the compliment... No, that's not right!" Kuroba Kaito came back to his senses, "Magicians don't reveal their magic tricks."
"All right."
Hasegawa Yu felt sorry, but didn't force it, "Shinichi told me about you. This room has a window where you can see the moonlight. You can leave after you check the gems."
It was the first time Kuroba Kaito had seen such a cooperative gem owner. "Really?"
Hasegawa Yu pushed the jeweled crown over and said, "Since you didn't affect my concert, really."
If the time of attack was set during his stage performance, no matter how much he hated Kidd the Strange Thief, he would choose to catch him first.
Kuroba Kaito, who seemed to have escaped, quickly took the jewel crown and pointed the "Deep Blue Dream" at the moonlight.
"Not really." He returned the jeweled crown with a slight regret. "Mr. Stylist is in the bathroom. Then, I won't disturb your concert."
Before leaving, Kuroba Kaito paused hesitantly and asked, "Can you sign an autograph for me?"
"It's written for Aoko." Hasegawa Yu vaguely realized something and sighed, "This Miss Aoko is very happy."
Fighting back the goosebumps, Kuroba Kaito finally got close to the star and collected the To card, unable to stay for a moment. "Bye."
The next second after Kaito Kidd's white cloak disappeared, the door of the dressing room was knocked open by Nakamori Ginzo, "Where's Kidd?!"
The yawning stylist patted his shoulder from behind him and said, "Please move aside. I need to style Yu-chan."
As he spoke, the stylist twisted his neck, hmm, it felt a little sore.
On the other side, Kuroba Kaito, who had successfully returned to the inner court to reunite with Aome, took out the autographed photo of the big star and said nonchalantly, "Aoko, here you go."
Nakamori Aoko was surprised, "Yu-chan's autograph! Where did you get it, Kaito?"
Kuroba Kaito tilted his head, "A secret."
That big star who is as scary as a fish... He will definitely not go there again next time!
