In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 160 Magic? It's magic!

Chapter 160 Magic? It's magic!

This princess from the Principality of Sabelina is quite fond of magic shows, especially the world-famous Phantom Thief Kid, who is now active again. She greatly admires him.

"Wow, it seems this princess is quite knowledgeable!"

Kaito Kuroba had changed into a formal suit and was looking around with Ginzo Nakamori. The venue was packed with people, many of whom were still practicing their amateur magic tricks.

Although Princess An stated that only one magic trick was needed to enter the venue, the benefits of a well-executed and impressive performance that would earn the princess's approval were entirely predictable.

So those who came here tried their best to win the princess's favor, but unfortunately the princess never appeared.

Kaito Kuroba didn't mock others for their magic tricks involving their feet. In his opinion, while magicians may vary in skill, a good magic trick is one that brings joy to the audience.

When it was Akutagawa Hiko's turn, Kaito Kuroba, amidst Akutagawa Hiko's complex expression, performed a card waterfall, with numerous cards floating in the air before obediently flying back to Kaito Kuroba's hand one by one.

It means they've stopped acting altogether.

There's a difference between making a proper entrance and being led in by someone else. Akutagawa Hiko could easily have gotten in by himself, so he simply performed a magic trick using ninjutsu.

Akutagawa Hiko rubbed his hands together incessantly, and fine sand fell continuously from his palms. With his movements, a lifelike sandcastle appeared on the ground, in which Princess Anne danced gracefully. Even the gem called "Paris Sunshine" came to life.

Their performance immediately set them apart from the others, and they entered the venue amidst thunderous applause.

Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, that's impressive! I didn't know you had this trick up your sleeve."

Kaito Kuroba wanted to shout that it wasn't magic at all, but something like sorcery, but he wouldn't do anything to ruin it for no reason.

Nakamori Aoko nudged Kuroba Kaito with her elbow and teased, "Did you figure out that magic trick? Can you replicate it?"

Seeing that Kuroba Kaito remained silent, Nakamori Aoko snorted, thus putting the matter of their public argument under the teacher's nose during the day behind a back page.

The venue was packed with people; after all, it was just a small magic trick, not very difficult to learn. Akutagawa even spotted Conan and his friends.

Five children making cameo appearances on the set of Kid the Kid film is a traditional entertainment.

Upon seeing Akutagawa Hiko, Conan and Ai first looked around. There were no screams, no bodies, and no panicked crowds before they belatedly greeted him.

Conan's expression was somewhat complicated: "What are you doing here?"

Akutagawa Hiko laughed and said, "I came here to visit a friend and also to check on the gem that Kid was trying to steal. But it seems we can't get involved in capturing Kid."

Ai said calmly, "The national conditions are different. The police officer in charge of the princess and the jewel's safety had no hesitation in firing his gun."

Ayumi nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I saw on the news that this terrifying foreign police officer even threatened to shoot a cat when he was trying to catch it!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya agreed, saying, "Shooting indiscriminately is going too far. What's the difference between them and those vicious fugitives?"

Genta Kojima scratched his head. He had just tried to go in to find something to eat, but he was kicked out. It was really awful.

From Conan, Hiko Akutagawa also learned why Conan and his friends were there: they were just passing by and saw that the place was very lively, plus the three real children were all clamoring to see the princess.

So Conan and Ai worked together to perform a small magic trick and entered the venue.

Akutagawa Hiko didn't disturb the group who were engrossed in watching the magic performance, and said, "Then you guys have fun here."

When dealing with the Phantom Thief Kid, Officer Delon used the same old method: increasing manpower so that the police could conduct a thorough search or form an encirclement at any time.

However, this clumsy tactic, which was particularly effective against other thieves, was strongly opposed by Nakamori Ginzo.

"That's Kidd, no one knows his true face. Kidd can disguise himself at any time. The more people there are, the more likely he is to take advantage of the situation."

Get these people out of here immediately!

Officer Delong dismissed Nakamori Ginzo's more than ten years of experience with disdain, and scoffed, "You, the bumbling officer who has let Phantom Thief Kid get away with it for so many years, actually have the nerve to offer your opinions?"

Inspector Nakamori angrily yelled at Inspector Tokutaka, "I told you, we don't need that many police stations here!!"

Officer Delon retorted angrily, "You're the last person we need here!!"

Kaito Kuroba made an excuse to go to the restroom and slipped away, leaving Aoko Nakamori with no choice but to try to separate the two who were locked in a fierce confrontation.

Just then, Princess Anne came out, carrying her kitten named Vermouth: "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

Officer Delon quickly straightened his clothes: "No, it's nothing, just some guy spouting nonsense."

Princess An ignored them and walked quickly and gracefully to Nakamori Aoko and Akutagawa Hiko: "Hello, lovely lady and handsome gentleman."

Akutagawa Hiko took the hand that Princess An handed him and gently kissed it: "You are more dazzling than the jewel on your chest."

Princess An's beauty was already exceptional, and coupled with her status as the heir to the duchy, she received countless compliments.

But hearing what the person in front of me said today is especially gratifying.

"Thank you, your magic show was also very wonderful. I will carefully keep that sandcastle. Welcome to the party."

Before Princess An and Akutagawa Hiko could exchange more than a few words, a police officer suddenly shouted in a panic, "Phantom Thief Kid! Phantom Thief Kid has appeared!!"

Officer Delon waved his hand and immediately ordered, "Take the princess to safety immediately! End the party on the spot!!"

Akutagawa noticed that Officer Delon was using the guise of refuge, and coupled with his unwavering shooting at Phantom Thief Kid, he wondered if he was dealing with Scowbin.

If the person they were dealing with really was her, then this police officer's left eye would probably have been shot through by now.

However, what Akutagawa found most unbelievable was that a separate team of police officers simply dragged the princess back to her room.

That's right, at least visually speaking, it's definitely a drag, without any exaggeration, and you can't tell at all that they're facing a princess.

Akutagawa Hiko didn't participate in the search for Kaito Kid. Instead, he took advantage of the chaos to hang himself upside down under the windowsill of Princess Anne's room, knowing that Kaito would definitely come looking for him anyway.
