I’m the Pay Thief at the Winery

Chapter 39: Okay, I know you're arrogant

"I've fulfilled the bet, so you can almost let me go."

Sure enough, you can't provoke a woman, and she's still a woman who holds grudges and is difficult to deal with.

Nan Ling sighed for the nth time.

"I'm very satisfied." Belmod said over there with a smile, "You can practice a few more times in the future, maybe you'll find some fun."

Is this the legend that wearing women's clothes will open some strange switch or the door to a new world...

"Then forget it." Nan Ling said with a wry smile, "I still have something to do here, I'll hang up first."

"Hehehehe, have a good time." Belmod clearly misunderstood something, and hung up after a series of laughter watching the show.

What the **** is this woman thinking... She really has something to do.

Hmm... Actually, I was watching the play seriously. But can't the duel between the two protagonists be called serious business?

Nan Ling turned to look at the clock tower.

Phantom Thief Kidd's announcement this time is to capture the gems set on the hands of the clock tower.

Of course, the gems aren't real, and Kidd is well aware of that.

So his real purpose is actually to make the clock tower as evidence before it is removed by the capitalists, so that it can be taken over by the police. This way the clock tower will not be removed.

After all, it was the place where he and his childhood sweetheart, Aoko Nakamori, met for the first time, so he must have wanted to preserve it well.

Several helicopters circled around the bell tower, Nan Ling looked at each one.

According to Koizumi Hongko, Kudo Shinichi was on one of the helicopters.

This time, it's a pity that I can only watch from below.

Time passed quietly, and the clock of midnight rang slowly.

"Boom—"

Along with the arrival of the time in the notice, in addition to the bell, there is also——

"--what!"

There was an exclamation from the crowd.

Kidd's pre-placed smoke bomb exploded at the same time as the bell rang, the smoke filled the entire clock tower, and the hands on the dial were also covered by the fog.

By the time the clock appeared in front of people again, the hands on the dial had long since disappeared.

It seems that Kidd has stolen the gem in such a short time, it is an incomprehensible magic.

But to put it bluntly, this method is actually not complicated.

It is nothing more than covering a layer of cloth on it, and then projecting the appearance of the dial.

But even though he was well aware of Kidd's tactics, Nan Ling still watched with great interest.

After all, Phantom Thief Kid Nanling has replayed it several times. Of course, he is very happy to see such a grand performance in the third dimension.

It's like seeing your favorite manga animated, no, it's even better than that.

Nan Ling raised his head and watched as a helicopter was gradually approaching the clock tower. At this moment, the huge dial began to shake slowly.

"Unbelievable..."

"The disk is actually shaking!"

The surrounding crowd exclaimed in surprise.

of course.

The wind brought by the helicopter blew the hanging curtain, and the projection would naturally become wobbly.

Kidd is probably behind that curtain now.

Then Nan Ling remembered that Kudo Shinichi, a reckless man, shot directly over there.

He almost hit the police officer Nakamori Ginzo who stuck his head out of the window, who was in charge of chasing Kidd.

The reason why the helicopter was so close was to prevent Kidd from escaping with a glider.

Sure enough, the dial shook even more violently after the sound of gunshots, which was not very obvious and was covered up by the sound of the helicopter.

You are so confident in your marksmanship. If this is a little bit crooked, it will definitely kill people.

Really immature.

After becoming a child, grow up slowly, Kudo Shinichi.

The gunshots that Nan Ling could hear, Koizumi Hongzi, who was not far away from him, as a magician, could definitely hear it.

The crimson magic power spreads out, and under the dazzling color is the figure of the undead coming in compliance with the contract.

Standing not far away, Nan Ling clearly felt that ominous feeling. It's not so much a sense of unease because of power as a fear of the unknown.

Uuah——Although I already knew that there is such an unscientific existence as magic in this world, seeing it with my own eyes is really unbelievable.

However, she was still a little too indifferent. Casting spells in public, the movement she caused has been seen by many people around.

"Don't be impatient, this witch."

A sweet female voice rang in Koizumi Hongzi's ears.

Nan Ling didn't forget his disguise. If he used a male voice, he would be considered a pervert.

Koizumi Hongko was startled.

Not many people should know his identity. What is this unfamiliar voice...

"You should have more confidence in Kidd."

That person held Hongzi's wrist, and the restless red magic power also calmed down.

The silver-gray eyes under the brim blinked at her, and then motioned her to look up.

While Kudo Shinichi was firing, Kidd took the initiative to disconnect the rope fixing the curtain with a poker pistol, and then wrapped himself in the curtain and fell into the crowd.

Really graceful exit.

"See, I'll say it's fine." Nan Ling let go of her wrist and spread her hand towards Hongzi.

Hongzi looked at the other party.

The girl with shawl hair and a baseball cap has a cute face, and her rare gray eyes are looking at her friendly.

Although I haven't seen it before, it shouldn't be malicious.

Hongzi still has confidence in her intuition as a witch.

But you still have to ask—

——“Where did you know my identity?”

"I've almost heard of it in Europe before, but I've never seen it with my own eyes. I only realized it when I saw you casting spells today~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Nan Ling said without any leakage.

"I know a little bit about you, so it's better not to be exposed to the public eye. I just didn't expect that Miss Witch is also a fan of the magician Kidd."

Nan Ling didn't tell a single lie. When he was in the Western Europe branch, he also heard a little rumor about magic. Today was indeed the first time he had witnessed magic with his own eyes.

Hongzi can almost accept this explanation.

Although their magicians are not known to the public, there are always some people in the world who know their existence by chance. It's not uncommon to meet one today.

After all, it was because it was too conspicuous to use magic in such a public setting.

"Also? Are you a Kidd fan?"

"Ah? That's right." Nan Ling thought about it, "After all, the phantom thief is still very handsome, isn't he?"

"The phantom thief... but he's just a child."

"That's right, after all, his name is Kid, kid, isn't it?"

Nan Ling also felt that Heiyu Kaito was very childish at times, but it was good to maintain a childlike innocence.

So he refuted Hongzi with a smile, like a fan defending his idol.

Speaking of which, Kuroba has a lot of fans...especially female fans.

Hongzi glanced at Nanling.

I don't know how much romantic debt I owe... Kuroba-kun.

"Let's talk about it first, I'm not a fan of that guy. As a magician, how can you be in the same boat as a magician who doesn't make it to the top?"

Nan Ling nodded very accommodatingly.
