Knowing that besides Conan, Sonoko and Ran had never seen Vivian in this state, Rin introduced them to each other.
"Sonoko, Ran, Conan, this is Vivian, my friend. Vivian, this is Sonoko, Ran, and Conan."
Vivian politely nodded to everyone. "Hello everyone."
Sonoko and Ran also quickly greeted her.
After ordering their food.
While Vivian went back to prepare the food, Sonoko leaned in close to Rin's ear and whispered, "Wow, Rin, all your friends are so good-looking! This Vivian is also a great beauty!"
Soon after, Vivian brought over the hamburgers and drinks they had ordered.
The extremely hungry Sonoko picked up her hamburger and took a big bite, but as she chewed, she suddenly felt something was off.
She looked at the hamburger in her hand, then leaned over to look at the hamburger Rin was about to bite into.
"Wait!"
Sonoko stopped Rin's action. She compared them carefully and was surprised to find,
"Rin, why is your hamburger a whole size bigger than mine?! The meat patties inside seem to be two layers more, and the lettuce and sauce also look like there's more!"
Hearing her say that, Ran and Conan also curiously looked at their own hamburgers.
Conan picked up his children's hamburger, opened the two buns, and saw that the meat patty inside was pitifully thin, and there was only a lonely half-slice of lettuce, making it look very meager.
He then looked at Rin's super-sized burger, which would clearly make the shop lose money, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch again.
Next, Sonoko compared the drinks.
Hers and Ran's were normal-sized fruit teas, while Rin's cup was almost completely filled with fruit chunks, so much so that the tea liquid was barely visible.
Conan silently sipped his lemon black tea, which only contained two shriveled lemon slices and a tiny, pathetic wedge of watermelon.
Vivian happened to walk over to ask how the food tasted, and Sonoko immediately pointed to the difference in the hamburgers and drinks, half-jokingly accusing her.
"Vivian, you're clearly playing favorites! Rin's portion is twice ours!"
Hearing this, Vivian's face and ears flushed, and she explained in a serious tone.
"That's because Rin is the 1000th lucky customer of our store to step in with her left foot first, which is why she receives special treatment."
Hearing Vivian's explanation, Sonoko immediately exclaimed dramatically.
"Wow! Vivian! That excuse you made up is terrible! What 'left foot first into the store'? We clearly came in together! You're just blatantly playing favorites with Rin!"
Ran couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, while Conan had a deadpan expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Vivian's face grew even redder, but she still feigned composure, even raising her chin slightly.
"This… this is the latest regulation of our store, and the right of interpretation belongs to our store."
After speaking, she turned around somewhat flustered and quickly walked back behind the counter, pretending to be busy, though her ears were noticeably red.
Rin looked at Vivian's embarrassed yet adorable back, and her own small face also flushed.
Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the store, and many people were heard screaming and shouting.
"Kid! It's Kaito Kid!"
"He's here! He's really here!"
"In the sky! Look!"
"What?! Kid-sama!"
Sonoko sprang up from her seat as if on a spring, unable to swallow the hamburger in her mouth, and shouted indistinctly,
"Quick! Let's go out! Don't miss it!"
She didn't care that her legs were weak, pulling Ran with one hand and reaching for Rin with the other, so excited she almost knocked over the drinks.
Rin also became interested. After greeting Vivian, the group quickly tidied up the table and rushed out of the fast-food restaurant.
Arriving on the street, everyone was looking up at the night sky.
Following everyone's gaze, under the bright moonlight, a white figure was elegantly gliding across the sky.
With a pure white cape fluttering behind him, wearing a top hat and a monocle on his face, Kaito Kid appeared in everyone's sight.
"Kid-sama! It really is Kid-sama!"
Sonoko cupped her face with both hands, stars sparkling in her eyes.
The police were on high alert. Officer Nakamori shouted into a megaphone.
"Searchlights! All searchlights on him! Don't let him get close to the museum!"
Several beams of light instantly locked onto the white figure in the sky.
However, just as the lights converged.
With a bang, a cloud of white smoke exploded around Kaito Kid's figure, temporarily obscuring the view.
When the smoke cleared, an incredible scene appeared.
Kaito Kid had retracted his hang glider but did not fall from the sky.
Instead, he floated silently in mid-air, as if defying gravity.
He was still some distance from the museum roof, with an empty plaza below and no visible support.
"Oh… oh my god! He's floating in the air!"
"How is this possible?!"
"It's magic! It must be magic!"
A gasp erupted from the crowd.
And that wasn't all.
Kaito Kid, suspended in mid-air, waved to his adoring fans, then actually started to walk.
As if walking on solid ground, he began to elegantly, step by step, walk through the air towards the blue wonder gem on the museum roof.
"Kid-sama is walking in the air! So that's what he meant by walking to get the blue wonder!" Sonoko was so excited she was about to faint.
"This is impossible!" Officer Nakamori shouted into his walkie-talkie, both shocked and angry.
Check the rooftops of all nearby buildings! He must have used steel wires or something, otherwise it's absolutely impossible!"
The police immediately dispersed, rushing to the rooftops of surrounding buildings where steel wires might have been set up.
Conan agreed with Officer Nakamori's idea. After seeing Officer Nakamori run towards a nearby building, he immediately jogged to follow him.
Upon reaching the rooftop, Conan and Officer Nakamori found no anchors on the building.
Soon, reports began to come in over Officer Nakamori's walkie-talkie.
"Report! No anchor points found on Building No. 1!"
"None on Building No. 2 either!"
"Same for Building No. 3!"
All possible support points were investigated, but nothing was found.
Kaito Kid seemed to be truly performing magic, defying the laws of physics, walking leisurely towards his goal.
Under the gaze of countless cameras and astonished eyes, Kaito Kid finally reached the air above the museum roof. He smiled as he glanced at the blue wonder gem placed on the roof.
He did not immediately retrieve the gem, but instead elegantly bowed to the crowd below and the cameras pointed at him.
Then, he addressed the crowd:
"Suzuki Consultant, thank you for your kind invitation. Tonight is perfect for a stroll. This blue wonder truly lives up to its name, even more captivating under the moonlight.
However—"
