[detective conan] edogawa conan

(no subject)

[He still thinks most everyone on the island is insane. No, he still doesn't believe in all the magic. And yes, he's still trying to find some way to logically explain everything.

But even detective maniac Edogawa Conan needs a break. Which was why today he was taking a break. At present, he was sitting under a tree with a stack of comic books on top of his jacket laying on the ground.

They were Sherlock Holmes comics. He wanted to see if they were any good since he hadn't gotten the chance to read them back home. For the moment, he seems more than content.

...now, really, he's just asking for someone to bug him.]

... Aha, so you've found an opponent! [ ... yeah, if she learns about that, it really won't go well ]

It's a more relaxed mystery to solve! Kind of like Kaitou Kid. Though he's more fun. [Because the death aspect wasn't involved at all. And Kid had some semblance of sanity...somewhere in his head. And he was definitely a good guy, if he did bad things.

And yeah, definitely won't tell her about Rokkenjima. Especially with how THOSE deaths turn out.]

[ laughing at that ] You're probably one of the few people who'd call trying to catch him "fun".

Oh, it's definitely maddening. I'd love to see him get caught by a mad Ran-neechan one day, but...

Well, it's nice there's at least one crime scene I end up at that no one is supposed to get hurt.

... [ giving him a smile ] I'm grateful for that.

...I am too.

[And he was. There was just pure fun in Kid's heists. No death, no worry. While there was no guarantee for nothing bad to happen, there was a guarantee nothing was SUPPOSED to. And even if something did...well, then the criminal would have more to deal with than just him.]

I don't think you'll have Kid to deal with here, though.

Not likely, yeah. He's not exactly the easiest person to catch.

He wouldn't be a challenge otherwise.

Yeah.

...though I suppose it'd be possible if they grabbed him as a civilian. Most of the people after him don't even think he's younger than late thirties, so he wouldn't think anyone would be after him like that.

Late thirties-- seriously? I don't know about that.

'Kaitou Kid' has been around for close to twenty years, Kazuha-neechan. Even if he had started as a teenager, he'd be in his late thirties.

If the Kid of eight years ago was the same Kid as today.

...to be fair, Kid doesn't usually let any of those in the task force get close enough to get a good look at him. Of maybe it's just none of them want to admit what might be the truth of the first Kid's disappearance.

But I'm almost positive that the present Kid is early twenties, at best. He might even be younger.

... [ letting out a light laugh, because the thought just seems so ridiculous to her ] Wouldn't it be something if he was my age?

...I wouldn't be surprised if he was.

... Really?

I said early twenties at best. That's my high estimate of his age.

But the more I go against him, while I could believe he's twenty, I don't think he's that old.

He treats me as a serious rival and it didn't take forever for him to do that. Even with his insanity and childish nature, for him to do it that promptly, I think it's because he's still a kid by society standards and knows even the young can be surprising.

[Beams at Kazuha.] I think that's why Hattori-niichan lets me help him work more than uncle. He understand youth doesn't mean there's a lack of capability.

[ ... raising an eyebrow, until he beams, and then just smiling back ] He would know better than almost anybody, after all.

Exactly. And Hakuba-niisan did it too.

Even if the police officers now trust that my friends and me aren't saying something unless we think it's important and not made up, it took a lot longer than people who were really smart and around your age.

So it makes me think Kaitou Kid is probably more around that age.

It does make sense, when you look at it that way. I doubt anyone's looked seriously among high schoolers.

Which...might be better for a few years.

Some of the charges against him are dubious as it is because of how he operates. Add in him being a minor and a good lawyer might even be able to get him off on a very light sentence.

His fans would be happy about that, at least.

Sonoko-neechan would probably die happy right on the spot.

... Should've known she'd be a huge fan.

A huge fan. It makes me feel sorry for Makoto-niisan sometimes.

M-- a boyfriend?
