I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

The girl smiled innocently, feeling happy from the bottom of her heart, but she was not complacent about it.

"... Next, I will insert a text message. Recently, the Suzuki Consortium is preparing to display their heirloom, which is also the world's largest black pearl, Dark Star, at the newly acquired Miwa Art Museum."

"It is reported that the mysterious Phantom Thief 1412 has issued a notice to the Suzuki Consortium and is preparing to snatch this treasure in the dark."

Because it was inconvenient to deal with the ghost lady in front of Xiaolan, Shinichi turned on the TV in the living room when he went downstairs and let Miyano Akemi kill time by herself.

At this time, what was reported on the news made both Xinyi and Xiaolan pay attention.

"The Dark Star... seems to be the pearl we played with when we were kids."

Pointing her slender fingers to her chin, Xiaolan recalled.

"Is it really okay for the Sonoko family to display such valuable things?"

"Don't worry, since Uncle Shirou and Aunt Tomoko dare to do this, they must be well prepared."

Shinichi smiled lightly and said firmly.

"Okay, then who is Phantom Thief 1412? It sounds like he is very powerful."

Apparently the little angel was a little too worried, fearing that this unknown thief would steal his best friend's heirloom.

"Phantom thief 1412 is a number. He is a phantom thief who has caused great headaches to the police in various countries around the world. He specializes in stealing jewelry and other valuables."

"However, compared to this code name, you may be more familiar with his other title: Kaitou Kidd."

Putting away the washed tableware, Shinichi turned around and prompted with a smile.

"Kaitou Kid...ah! He's the thief your father caught before, Shinichi, isn't he?"

Xiaolan's eyes lit up and she suddenly remembered.

"Yes, that's him, and we've met him before, in elementary school."

However, what we see is the first-generation Kaitou Kidd, not the current second-generation thief.

Looking at the little angel who was thinking hard and trying to recall his childhood memories, Shinichi silently added in his heart.

At the same time, he also wrote this second-generation Kidd in a small notebook of grudges that he had not taken out for a long time.

September 5, sunny

This second-generation thief actually dares to look so similar to me. I will bear this grudge! .

Chapter 1 Buying clothes for Xiaolan

　　"Xiaolan, look, is this skirt good?"

"Yeah! It's very beautiful. You will look even more beautiful when you wear it, Sonoko."

"I think this skirt is more suitable for you, Xiaolan, after all, you have such a good figure~"

"No way!"

Shinichi followed the two girls with a look of helplessness on his face, accompanying them to wander around various clothing stores.

Today is the birthday of the director of Tedan High School, so all students have a half day off.

Originally this was a good thing, but Miss Sonoko dragged him and Xiaolan to this shopping street in the Suzuki family's car as soon as school was over.

After the Suzuki Foundation displays the heirloom Dark Star on Saturday, they will also hold a banquet on the cruise ship. As the second daughter of the Suzuki family, Sonoko will naturally also attend.

At the same time, Tomoko Suzuki did not forget to invite Shinichi and Xiaolan.

When Yuanzi brought the news, the little angel was embarrassed and said that he did not have a suitable dress.

Although she had attended such banquets before, the most recent one was when she was in junior high school.

It can be said that Xiaolan's figure changes every year when she is growing up. The dress she bought at that time no longer fits her, especially the front part.

This makes the eldest lady with a slightly regretful figure envious.

So Yuanzi immediately said that he would take her to buy a suitable evening dress.

“I’ll keep this in mind for now, let’s go look at other things!”

After putting a favorite dress back to its original place, Yuanzi took Xiaolan's hand and walked happily to the next clothing store.

They have been shopping for almost two hours, but they are still full of energy.

Following the two of them, Shinichi had no choice but to continue moving.

Fortunately, under the training of his cheap mother, he has become accustomed to accompanying women when shopping, otherwise he would have burned out by now.

"Xiaolan, after looking at it for so long, don't you find one that you like more?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to choose clothes, Yuanzi approached the little angel and asked in a low voice.

In the past two hours, the two of them visited no less than ten clothing stores. Yuanzi himself selected a lot of clothes that he liked and planned to buy them all at once.

But Xiaolan just looked at it and showed no intention of buying it.

"No, I think everything is pretty good."

Xiaolan smiled gently, but her expression was a bit stiff.

Of course she also wanted to buy a beautiful new dress, but Sonoko, her best friend, asked the driver to take the three of them to a famous high-end clothing sales area in Tokyo.

The price of any piece of clothing here may cover the living expenses of the Maori family for half a year.

A girl who has been diligent and thrifty since she was a child is naturally reluctant to spend so much money.

What she was planning in her heart was to change the original evening dress after she went back, or rent one. She wouldn't be able to wear it a few times anyway.

"Then why don't you try it on? It will definitely look beautiful!"

Picking up another red dress, Yuanzi encouraged her.

Seeing the evening dress handed over by her best friend, Xiaolan's eyes lit up and she subconsciously took it.

I have to say that Yuanzi is very competent as a best friend. Xiaolan likes this skirt very much, both in color and style.

Even if you don’t buy it, it’s okay to try it on, right?

After hesitating for a moment, she made up her mind.

As soon as the little angel walked into the changing room, Sonoko immediately snuck up to Shinichi and nudged him with his elbow.

"Hey, your Xiaolan seems reluctant to spend money?! (??ω??)"

Although she covered her mouth, Shinichi was sure that this girl must be snickering.

Both he and Yuanzi could see Xiaolan's little thoughts, but they just didn't expose them.

Little angels are easily shy.

And the meaning of what Yuanzi said is also obvious.

Someone is going to spend money!

With Shinichi's eyesight, he could naturally clearly see the price on the red evening dress just now.

Why don’t you grab the six-digit Sakura Coins?

Shinichi wasn't very familiar with clothing brands, and he didn't know the origins of this clothing store, but a brand that could catch the eye of the eldest lady Yuanzi was probably not something simple.

And he could also see that Xiaolan liked this skirt very much, so he made a decision quickly.

"I bought it!!!"

Isn't it just three 10,000+ Sakura coins? He originally earned so much money from his part-time job as a light novel writer and gave it to the little angel.

"Not bad! I'm optimistic about you!"

Sonoko was also very satisfied with Shinichi's reaction, but a sly smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"By the way, you will also pay for the clothes I chose!"

(?_??)

Watching Sonoko casually pick up an evening dress and skipping into the changing room, Shinichi's face was filled with doubts.

When did you say you would help this girl pay for it?

Then, he quickly went through the prices of the clothes Yuanzi selected just now in his mind.

A rough estimate is probably... 300 million? ! Σ(っД;)っ

At this moment, Shinichi really wanted to rush into the dressing room, hang up this stinky girl who didn't take money seriously, and teach her a lesson, so that she would know what it means to be diligent and frugal.

· 0 for flowers · 0

Of course, he still failed to do so.

After all, with the relationship between Yuanzi and him, buying her some clothes is not a big deal.

Although a bit expensive...

After mourning for a while for his small treasury that was about to shrink a lot, Shinichi turned around and walked out of the clothing store.

A few minutes later, Xiaolan and Yuanzi, who both put on evening dresses, walked out of the fitting room and praised each other's beautiful posture.

"Sonoko, you really have a good sense. Whether it's the previous ones or the current one, it suits you very well!"

Wearing this beige dress, Sonoko looks very energetic and has the look of a young and beautiful girl, but the headband on her forehead adds a touch of disharmony to her.

"It's okay, Xiaolan, you are really beautiful!"

........ 0

Yuanzi's smile at this time was a little forced.

After putting on an evening dress that highlighted her figure, she could clearly see the gap in strength between herself and Xiaolan.

Failed, and completely! (〃＞item＜)

But Sonoko is not discouraged, because both her mother and her sister are powerful women.

So she naturally thinks that she still has room to grow.

"By the way, where did that guy go?"

In order to divert his attention, Yuanzi looked around for someone.

"Wasn't Shinichi still here just now?"
