Chapter 746 Extra: It’s Not Kidd, It’s Kaito
After soaking in the hot spring for about half an hour, Hakuba put on his clothes again and stepped on the wooden clogs. When he suddenly came out of the hot water and was blown by the cold wind, his feet, which were warm just now, became cold in an instant.
"It's so cold."
Seeing Kuroba Kaito take out thick socks that match the kimono from his arms like a magic trick, Hakuba's expression could not help but become happy. He took them and looked around, looking for a place to sit down and put on socks.
"Isn't there anything here!"
The clothes in the hot spring hotel are buttoned, so you can wear them while standing even in water, but you can't wear socks bought from the shopping street while standing.
Hakuba sighed, holding his socks and preparing to find a place to sit after going down the mountain, but he was pulled back the moment he passed Kuroba Kaito.
"If we wear them after we get down the mountain, our feet and socks will be cold, so we can't wear them."
The reason they wore clogs without socks was because they had both walked for a distance in slippers and their feet were used to the cold air. However, Hakuba, who had just come out of the hot spring, would definitely get sick if he was blown by the cold wind.
"No need, you're not wearing socks either."
Hakuba pointed at Kuroba Kaito who was wearing clogs barefoot, saying that it was okay for him, but he was still forced to wear socks.
"Even if you say that, there's no place to wear socks."
Hakuba looked at the trees on the mountain: "Otherwise, I'll wear them by leaning against the trees."
This is actually a good idea. The center of gravity of a person is on the tree, so he can lift his feet alternately. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on the hot spring mountain.
Because there are hot spring pools everywhere, the humidity on the mountain at night is quite serious. Not only is the vision a little blurred, but the mountain road is also slippery. They have a hard time climbing the mountain.
"How about this, I'll hold your hand while you put on your socks."
Kuroba Kaito suggested while extending his hand, but was slapped back by Hakuba the next second. The magician, who was shouting "It hurts, it hurts", stared at Hakuba aggrievedly, but felt guilty because of the other party's expression of seeing through him. "You guys, you just thought of me as a woman again, I don't need you to be so attentive."
"You are really unreasonable, it's just help between ordinary friends."
"Humph."
Hakuba snorted, crossed his arms and turned his head, narrowed his eyes and asked: "Besides me, have you helped other men like this?"
"Of course, Kudo Shinichi and Yuuji, Mr. Kuroba is very helpful."
Kuroba Kaito's kindness was not accepted after all. Hakuba suggested not to hold hands, but she supported the magician's uninjured shoulder, and the two faced each other.
There were no scenes that were popular with people, such as slipping when putting on socks, hugging each other, or even kissing. Kaito Kid had an exceptional ability to control his body, and soon Hakuba stood up steadily and felt the warmth of his feet.
"It's almost time to go back to the hotel. The great detective must be waiting anxiously in our room alone."
Kuroba Kaito smiled and prepared to walk down the mountain in front. As soon as he took the first step, he felt cold all over. He subconsciously rolled on the ground for half a circle, and pulled Hakuba down with him. The two of them fell behind a tree.
"What was that just now..."
Hakuba also felt it. She followed the direction of the sound and clearly saw a bullet hole on the tree next to Kuroba Kaito's previous position, and a light small-caliber sniper bullet was stuck in the tree.
"How could this happen!"
Hakuba pulled Kuroba Kaito's sleeve unconsciously.
"That guy... was aiming at Kuroba Kaito!" (End of this chapter)
