Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 41 Of course it’s because I’m a man
"No, I'm really sleepy..." Nan Ling felt that he couldn't open his eyes right after he finished eating.
It's all Kidd's fault. Why did he have to steal things in the middle of the night? And then the organization came to him for another mission...
It's really uncomfortable to stay up all night.
After eating, it seemed that all the blood in the brain went to the stomach. Nan Ling felt dizzy and felt that he didn't have the energy to return to his residence.
"I'll sleep here for a while..." Nan Ling floated to the bedroom door like a ghost, "Don't disturb me."
"No, no..." Antoine also felt very sleepy at this time, only slightly better than Nan Ling, "I still want to live well."
When Antoine first met Chat, he had witnessed what would happen if he disturbed Chat's sleep.
It was an ordinary rendezvous mission, but it happened in the early morning and everyone was drowsy, especially Chat.
He was basically completely asleep at that time.
Then one of the outside members was very annoyed with Chat's slacking behavior, so he tried to wake him up.
The moment he met Chat—
——The man froze for a moment, then his body began to twitch and foam came out of the mouth. He died in less than two seconds.
No one saw how Chat made the move.
"Hasn't anyone told you? Newbies, don't get close to me when I'm sleeping. You'll die."
Antoine remembered Chat saying this.
Then he pointed at the body of the unfortunate fellow with sleepy eyes and said, "Someone of you go and deal with him. I want to sleep for a while."
From then on, Antoine knew that no matter how soundly Chat seemed to be asleep or defenseless—
——They are probably in his most dangerous state. No matter who is the enemy or friend, anyone who comes close will die.
Although DK stayed up all night with them, he seemed to have no desire to sleep.
Because his daily routine is the opposite of that of normal people. He sleeps during the day and gets up at night. He is a true night owl.
He goes to bed around 11 o'clock during the day and wakes up around 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening.
So it's not his biological clock yet.
…
When Nan Ling woke up, Antoine and DK had already left the base.
"It's already 12 o'clock... I slept a little too long."
Nan Ling tidied himself up a little and walked towards his house.
But I didn’t expect to meet someone I know on the road…
“Eh? Nanyun… Miss Ayako?”
!? !?
Nan Ling turned his head stiffly and looked back.
"Yes, it's Ms. Koizumi."
Nan Ling was extremely glad that he wore a mask and a hat when he went out today.
He's not wearing any makeup today, so it's obvious that his face is a man's.
Hongzi probably recognized him because she saw his back and long hair. After all, his body is developing slowly, so it's normal that you can't tell his gender just by looking at him from behind.
"What a coincidence! Miss Ayako is also going to the commercial street next door to buy something?"
"Eh? No, I just happened to be passing by."
"Is that so... Then do you want to go shopping together?"
What a development between good girlfriends!
Nan Ling felt a little speechless and was about to refuse...
"I have a friend who is good at magic. He might be even better than Kidd."
There was a mischievous smile on Koizumi Hongzi's face.
At this time, Nan Ling noticed the friend that Hongzi mentioned.
There's no running away, this must be Kuroba Kaito.
Do you want to meet him? Although my current outfit seems a little inconvenient, it’s still very fun to think about it.
"Really? Then I'd like to see it for myself." Nan Ling said with a smile, not caring at all, looking like a complete fan of Kidd.
Hongzi gave a mysterious smile.
Today she not only made an appointment with Hei Yu, but also his childhood sweetheart Aoko would come along.
Hehehe...there’s something good to watch today.
"By the way, you look really handsome today. Is it androgynous style?"
“Ah…ah, yes.”
Of course, that's because I'm a man. Nan Ling was helpless.
"Hmm...should I try it too?" Koizumi Hongzi touched her chin.
“It might turn out to be unexpectedly suitable.”
Nan Ling and Koizumi Hongzi were walking and chatting, and soon they saw Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko waiting at the intersection.
"This is a friend I met yesterday when I was watching Kid's performance. I just happened to meet her again today." Koizumi Hongzi introduced them to each other and winked at Kuroba Kaito, "She is a fan of Kid."
"Hello, my name is Nakamori Aoko, thank you for your guidance." The girl didn't care at all about his identity as a fan of Kid and greeted him politely.
She really has the same personality as Xiaolan...
"Nanyun Ayako, please give me your guidance."
"Kuroba Kaito." The eccentric Phantom Thief smiled and snapped his fingers in front of Nan Ling, and then a blue rose bloomed between his fingers. "He is a magician. Please give me some advice, beautiful lady."
Nan Ling didn't know how to respond for a moment.
After all, he was the only one who teased others before, but he himself had never been teased like this.
And you can't even see my face, so is it really okay to say that I'm beautiful? Don't you feel guilty for saying such things?
"Ah...thank you, it's a wonderful magic." Nan Ling did not take the flower.
Nakamori Aoko was watching right beside them, and Nan Ling didn't want her to be jealous of a man for no reason. There was no need for that.
"Well, I seem to have a cold today, so I'm wearing a mask. Please don't mind."
"It must be because I stayed up late to watch a thief's performance last night..." Nakamori Aoko said angrily, but suddenly realized something, "Ah, sorry... I'm not..."
"It's okay." Nan Ling smiled. "I felt your last name sounded familiar to me, and now I remember it. May I ask who you and Inspector Nakamori, who was in charge of hunting down Kidd, are...?"
"That's my father." Nakamori Aoko said a little embarrassedly.
"So that's how it is." Nan Ling glanced at Kuroba Kaito inconspicuously, "Even though I like Kid very much, I can't stand the fact that he causes so much trouble to others, especially to Inspector Nakamori."
"That's right." Nakamori Aoko obviously had a lot to say about this topic, "Dad always comes home late, it's all Kid's fault."
"It seems that Kidd is not a gentleman after all..." Nan Ling thought thoughtfully.
"Ah! Do you want anything to drink?" Kuroba Kaito suddenly said loudly.
Changing the subject is really simple and crude.
"Why are you talking so loudly all of a sudden?" Qingzi glanced at Hei Yu complainingly, "But I want to drink..."
Could it be that such a simple and crude method actually works...?
"What a silly girl... Ayako, you think so too, right?"
Suddenly he called someone else's name directly. He is really very familiar with people.
"I'm in love." Nan Ling concluded succinctly.
"You figured it out so quickly?" Hongzi raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Oh, do you have any thoughts about Kuroba-kun too?"
"Putting aside your weird logic...why would I have any thoughts about someone I met for the first time?" Nan Ling complained.
"Love at first sight is a classic scene, isn't it?"
"I'm not that type."
"So what type are you?" Hongzi's eyes sparkled with gossip.
Nan Ling really thought about it seriously.
"Let it be."
"...Maybe it's actually a good idea." Hongzi pondered for a moment, "But as a witch, I can control something as illusory as 'fate'. Do you want to try it?"
"I don't have any idea for now. Thank you very much." Nan Ling refused very quickly.
