C.A.T.S (Catch And Thief Systems)
Chapter 18's
Two days after they returned home from field practice, while eating lunch at school, Kaito opened his smartphone and saw the news, famous actor Junichi turned himself in to the police, and the, he admits all the murder ideas were his and he took it all on his own without involving Rinne. After investigation, almost all novels by Fujitoshi listed the original case and without the consent or permission of the concerned, the publishers withdrew all Fujitoshi novels from circulation and production of dramas or other adaptations of the novels were discontinued. Junichi's trial will be held soon, but according to the lawyer's statement on the news, based on Junichi's motive for ultimately uncovering Fujitoshi's fraud, most likely the punishment Junichi will receive is not as heavy as other murder cases, although he will most likely withdraw from the entertainment world after that.
After reading the news, she put her smartphone back in her pocket and re-enjoiced with Reina, Marin, Yuka, Airi, Nagisa, Chitose and Fumiko, among others, this time they were no longer the center of attention, because everyone had given up. Arriving, “Sreeeg” class door opened, a woman wearing a blazer and a police badge embedded in her waist, entered their class.
“Halo all, here there is a named Kururi Chisato ?” Ask her.
“Oh lieutenant Urushi...I'm here....sit for a while...” Chisato said as he stood up.
“Hey don't call my last name...” Lieutenant Urushi said as he stepped towards the seat.
“Heheh sorry lieutenant Hana.
After sitting down, Hana instantly noticed all who were sitting around and she immediately saw Fumiko.
“Hooo...everything that was in the antique store at that time yes, how are Fumiko chan...” Hana.
“Good lieutenant...now I'm safe thanks to lieutenant..” Fumiko's reply was a little tense.
“Thank God then...hmmm...cowo handsome which time was ?” Hana asked while looking at Kaito who is otaku and then looked around.
“She looks after the store lieutenant..she does not go to school.” Chisato answered while winking to the others so that if asked the same thing.
“Oh he is the owner of the store yes....hmmm interesting....Well, please continue eating, can come with me Chisato ? I'd like to talk to you about yesterday's and other cases..” Hana stood up and stepped out.
“Before lieutenant, why lieutenant can enter our school ?” Ask Chisato.
“I'm an alumnus here..so I'm free here..ayo fast, I'm still on assignment.” Answer Hana.
“Oh so...good well...everything, I go first..” Chisato stood up and immediately followed Hana out.
When the two came out and closed the door again, Nagisa, Fumiko, Reina, Marin, Yuka and Airi instantly took off their tense and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Why are you guys so tense ? you guys aren't wrong?” Kaito asked while putting his chopsticks into his mouth.
“Gara for protecting you...” Everything is compact.
“Oh...thank you..” Kaito said with a smile.
“If outside the store, never let go of your form, understand Kaito ?” Ask Nagisa.
“Iya..iya...I understand Nagisa san.”.
“Serius Kaito is the same, we are all here afraid of you why napa and deal with the police.” Fumiko.
“Iyaaaa...i understand..” Kaito said once again.
“But the police was beautiful yes..kayaknya still 20 an age..” Reina.
“Seumuran with anego possible..” Added Yuka.
“Anego ?” Ask Nagisa.
“Oh onee san his Kaito kun who is now out of the country, the four of us happened to have met.” Answer Marin.
“Oh so yes, later I also want to meet..onee sama.....” Fumiko.
“But he's here to say what ? investigate us or just want to talk to Chisato senpai?” Ask Airi.
“Ga tau, which she definitely knows us all....” Answer Reina.
Arrived “Sreeg.” The classroom door was opened, Chisato entered in a hurry, he immediately approached Kaito with a panicked face.
“Kaito kun, drugging, lieutenant Hana going to your store, now..”.
Straight away all stood up and panicked, then Kaito stood up and he pressed a button on his watch and his body split, then one of his body again sat on the chair, he said, Kaito rubbed his face and returned to his original form then disappeared.
“Alright, I go, later please move him to the seat yes...” Said Kaito who had disappeared.
“Good, careful yes...” Shouted everything.
“Sreeg.” The window panes were opened and Kaito jumped out of the tree in front of the window, then he jumped on top of the building in a grappler and ran away. Reina, Marin, Yuka, Airi, Nagisa, Fumiko and Chisato who only saw the tree swaying, closed the window and resumed eating them.
While Kaito continues to run and jump using a grappler while disappearing towards his store. When he arrived, he immediately entered his shop and prepared to be ready to change his uniform as if he would continue to guard the shop from the morning. Shortly afterwards, a sedan car that had police sirens on its roof, stopped in front of the store, a woman got off the car and “Cklung.” He opened the shop door and then went inside.
“Welcome, can I help you ?” Sapa Kaito's inside.
“Oh sorry I came suddenly, I want to talk to you, can accompany me for a moment ?” Ask Hana.
“Good, please sit down, sorry, you police came that time yes ?” Ask Kaito pura.
“Well I want to talk a little..mumpung friend your friend is at school.” Hana answered while sitting on the sofa.
“Good for a moment, I'll get you a drink..” Reply Kaito as he steps into the pantry.
“Oh no hassle...”
But Kaito keeps getting inside the pantry to get a drink for Hana, inside, inside,
“CATS, please take care yes..we don't know what he wants here.”.
[Just keep Kaito calm, you will be surprised in a moment.]
“What do you mean CATS ?” Ask Kaito.
[See lieutenant Hana first, you'll understand]
Kaito immediately came out again with a cup of coffee for Hana, after serving her at the table, she immediately sat on the sofa that was across from Hana.
“Thank you yes, I told you not to bother.....can I ask you something ?” Hana asked while taking her cup.
“Please...” Answer Kaito.
“Kiyoko now where ?” Ask Hana.
“Hah..you know nee san I ?” Ask Kaito.
“Of course, I grew up with him and I know who he is.
Hana takes a piece of paper from behind her blazer and puts it on the table, Kaito is shocked, because the paper is the letter he left in the convent back then.
“Hmmm...seeing your face, means it is not Kiyoko who left this letter....you are yes ?” Ask Hana directly.
Kaito immediately stood up and prepared to stand by to see Hana in front of him who was sitting casually while sipping coffee.
“Hei take it easy, I have no intention. I just want to meet Kiyoko.” Reply Hana.
“Um..nee san is now overseas, she has family there..”.
“Oh..he is so the same Evan anyway...hahahaha funny too, detective is married with maling.” Hana laughed.
“Sorry, but who are you really?” Ask Kaito.
“Well I explain, I am a schoolmate of the two of them, I have even been friends from childhood with Kiyoko, I know her papa, Kiyotaka ossan.” Answer Hana.
Still in doubt, Kaito immediately picked up his smartphone and called Kiyoko using a video call. Shortly after, Kiyoko picks up her phone while holding her young child.
“What's Kaito ?” Kiyoko asked on the phone.
“Nee san...do nee san know onee san in front of me ?” Kaito asked while turning the phone around.
“Oh Hana...you stopped by ?” Kiyoko asked who saw Hana.
“Hai Kiyoko, heh it's your son same Evan ?” Ask Hana.
“Iya is right..ayo acquaintance...name is Sherry...” Answer Kiyoko.
“Evan base....Sherry of Sherlock yes hahahaha.” Hana.
Eventually the two of them chatted like old friends who had not met for a long time using Kaito's smartphone. The two continue to talk, until Kaito's hand is sore because it supports his smartphone. Finally Kiyoko asked to talk to Kaito again and said that Hana is his connection in the police and can help him if he is involved in serious problems. Kiyoko also introduces Kaito to Hana and tells her that Kaito is her younger sister. After the phone disconnects,
“Well now to the core of his issue...” Hana.
“I listen to Hana nee san..” Kaito.
Hana immediately explained, that Kaito had started touching the Doujinki mafia family because of his actions at the monastery yesterday, in addition Kaito now protects Kumagoro's only puppet daughter, Fumiko. Because of all that, now that the mafia already knows that the Phantom Cat is back in action, they will definitely hunt down the Phantom Cat and will find out who the original identity of the Phantom Cat. Hana asks Kaito to be careful and for a while do not act first because the city is crowded, if more and more police can not handle it.
“I understand Hana nee san..” Kaito.
“This is for your good, I know, Phantom Cat just steals from bad guys, helps people and never kills, only I'm annoyed sometimes he likes to pluck by. So I can assure you, the police will turn a blind eye to the Phantom Cat, I dare to vouch for it because I am the police commissioner in Kosaka city, my rank is not lieutenant, but everyone's used to calling me lieutenant hehehe..” Hana.
“Um...how ya.....” Kaito.
“Oi CATS...you heard, please understand yes, let Kaito rest for a while.” Shouted Hana.
“Eh...Hana nee san know about CATS?” Ask Kaito wonder.
“I told you already, I know Kiyoko from childhood, I also know your papa, I have known about CATS for a long time...
[Affirmative]
“Eh....CATS answer...” Kaito.
“Of course, he knows me too...” Reply Hana.
“Fiuuuuh...I'm a little relieved....” The tense Kaito instantly limp.
“Oh one more, can you not change a little appearance Fumiko ? don't let her go back to her family in the meantime.” Added Hana.
“I'll try Hana nee san..” Kaito.
“Alright, I have to go back to the office, thanks for the coffee.” Hana stood up straight.
“Iya Hana nee san..if you want to play here just play...” Kaito.
“Surely, I will often meet with one of your future wives with offices above..hehehehe...” Reply Hana.
“Hah...why say she's my wife-to-be ?”
Hana immediately embraces Kaito, she sees Kaito's face turning red with a big smile.
“And I told you earlier, I knew your family from childhood, after all I immediately knew what your relationship was when Fumiko used the name Nekowari and saw him with the others here, after all, that's why I'm looking for an opportunity to talk directly to you without them, great yes you, all beautiful hehehe..” Ledek Hannah.
“Why does everyone decide without asking myself...” Kaito said sadly.
“Hahahaha...yes come on, just accept...I go first..bye...”.
Hana immediately stepped out of the store and into her car, Kaito waved his hand and went back inside the store.
****
In the afternoon, before everything came back, Kaito looked for a way for Fumiko's face to be disguised, asking CATS how to hide her face. Arriving in the air, a digital box appeared and a pendant appeared. After Kaito asks what the pendant in his hand means, CATS explains that Fumiko wears it, its form remains but she will not be recognized by anyone except those close to her. So Fumiko has to keep wearing her. Arrived, “Cklung.” The shop door is open.
“We're home..” Shouted Reina, Marin, Yuka, Airi, Nagisa, Chisato and Fumiko who entered simultaneously.
“Welcome, Fumiko san, can talk to you personally ?” Kaito asked as he greeted them.
“Eh...personal ? what's the same Kaito..” Ask Fumiko.
Finally Kaito took Fumiko to the pantry for a while, while the others peeked out from behind the door. Kaito goes straight to the point and explains to Fumiko the circumstances of her as Hana said before her, then she gives her pendant.
“Um...this for me Kaito same ?” Fumiko asked while looking at the beautiful pendant in Kaito's hand.
“Iya..take Fumiko san Answer Kaito.
Directly Fumiko jumped up and hugged Kaito who became a little confused, then she turned around and asked Kaito to pair her pendant by lifting her hair. Kaito draped his pendant to Fumiko's neck and hooked her behind. After that, then,
“Thank you Kaito same....mwah.” Fumiko kissed Kaito's cheek.
“Eh...the pendant is for protection....”.
“Iya I know and I thank you...” Fumiko covered Kaito's mouth with her finger.
Then he turned his head and smiled sinisterly looking at all the girls who were peeking behind the door.
“Hohoho..sorry I first....hohohoho (laugh villainess).” Said Fumiko proudly by raising her hands to her laughing mouth and leaving her waist.
“Grrrrrrrrrr Reina, Marin, Yuka, Airi, Nagisa and Chisato growled.
They go straight in and crash into Kaito until Kaito falls on the floor, then,
“Oi Kaito, if only love him unfairly...” Nagisa.
“Can't be so Kaito kun...I also be sad...” Chisato.
“My where is Kaito kun ?” Ask Airi.
“I too...don't forget me..” Add Marin.
“You should be fair with all Kaito kun, I'm a little disappointed with you.” Added Reina.
“Mana quickly remove our...” Added Yuka.
“No, I'll make it so that Fumiko san does not......” Not done yet Kaito spoke.
“Do not want to know..mana...” Shouts everything compact.
[Kaito similarly, next time please understand a little bit of a woman's heart, I make it for all of them as protection and have the same function in the basement]
Finally Kaito took everything to the basement and the pendant necklace was available on the table, then he dressed Reina, Marin, Yuka, Airi, Nagisa and Chisato one by one. Then everything returned cheerful and together back to the top. When it got to the top, several cars passed through the store and some stopped in front of Kaito's shop. Then some gangster-clad men descended from the car, entering store after store and showing photos on smartphones. “Cklung.” A burly man with a sinister face came inside.
“Hei...You guys see the woman in this photo ? is he here ? don't try to hide it yes.” Ask the man while showing his picture.
Everyone saw that the photo was a photo of Fumiko's face, it seemed like they were looking for Fumiko. No one spoke a word because everyone knew Fumiko was with them. Kaito finally went to see the man,
“Sorry the woman is not here...” Kaito.
“Everyone in this store is here all ?” Ask the man.
“True, we are all the ones who live in this store...” Answer Kaito while pointing back.
The man observed everyone inside one by one, then he saved back his smartphone and “Cklung” he opened the door,
“Good, thank you...” The man walked out of the store and left.
Shortly after, Reina's smartphone rang, her papa's phone if anyone was looking for Fumiko to enter her store. Reina also told her papa next door that the man had come to the store and checked the store, she asked her papa not to worry because Kaito had kicked her out. Kaito smiled, because Fumiko was actually standing behind him and was not recognized by the man, meaning his pendant worked well.
“Well now it is safe, not only Fumiko san, but all of you are also safe..” Kaito.
“But...they are looking for Fumiko chan...hmmm...” Chisato Mumbled.
“Yes, from now on we must be careful, never let go of the pendant I gave you just now.” Kaito.
“Tch...good..unless I sleep.” Reply Nagisa.
“I understand Kaito the same..” Said Fumiko while holding her pendant.
“Of course my dear...” Shouted Reina, Marin, Yuka and Airi while crashing Kaito to fall, Marin, Yuka and Airi,
“Aaaaaaah...why are you guys...hot nih....remove....” Shouted Kaito.
“No....” Shouted the four.
