Chapter 228: Prayer Technique Magic Tool, Dark Night Star

"Sonoko, have you seen Akaso-san?" asked the person disguised as Ran, Kaitou Kid.

"No, no, I'm not with Akaso-san, I don't know where he is."

Sonoko hurriedly clarified.

She knew Ran's combat power very well; if she were exposed and took a little punch, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Looking at the trembling Sonoko, Kaitou Kid frowned.

If you don't go pester Akaso Kaze, what if he doesn't know Ran is in the room?

No, there must be a double insurance.

"Sonoko," Kaitou Kid said earnestly in Ran's voice, "Akaso-san is such an excellent person; I don't mind if someone likes him."

"Do you understand what I mean, Sonoko?"

"Huh?" Sonoko was stunned.

What does this mean?

Am I hallucinating?

Ran said she doesn't mind others liking her boyfriend?

Is she that generous?

It can't be true.

Kaitou Kid continued in a seductive tone:

"I have other things to do on this trip. Akaso-san is such an excellent person, there must be many women circling him; it would be terrible if he were snatched away by another woman by accident."

"So, Sonoko, I want to ask you to help me keep an eye on Akaso-san, take him to an empty deck, a room, etc., to walk around... even if something happens between you, I won't particularly mind."

"After all, we are best friends."

Sonoko looked at Ran leaving in a daze.

Her mind was a mess.

Ran said that if something happens between me and Akaso-san, she won't mind.

What does it mean?

Does she also support me being with Akaso Kaze?

Isn't she Akaso-san's official girlfriend?

How does it sound so unreal?

Could it be... Kaitou Kid again?!

Sonoko suddenly shuddered and ran to find Akaso Kaze in a hurry.

At the center of the banquet, Suzuki Tomoko was chatting with Akaso Kaze with glowing eyes.

Mouri Kogoro, Conan, and several dignitaries were gathered around.

"It's really a trouble for Lord Akaso; with you here, my little heart can be at ease."

Suzuki Tomoko said while patting her bountiful chest.

Akaso Kaze just smiled without speaking.

Uncle Mouri asked with a frown on the side: "Mrs. Suzuki, since Kaitou Kid has sneaked in, his target must be that Black Star."

"Please allow me to say a word bluntly: there are more than five hundred guests on the scene wearing fake Black Stars; if we don't know which one is the real Black Star, I'm afraid we can't provide effective protection."

"So, can we ask you to secretly tell us who exactly has the real Black Star?"

Suzuki Tomoko smiled slightly and then said:

"The real Black Star? I can't say exactly who has it, but I can give you all a hint."

"That beautiful black pearl with magic power is on the woman most suitable for it. Coincidentally, among the five hundred guests tonight, there is only one woman who deserves it."

Uncle Mouri was dumbfounded.

What kind of bullshit hint is this?

As for Conan, he frowned and began to think seriously.

Black Star?

Female?

Only one?

So there are special limiting conditions?

It shouldn't be hard to eat.

Suzuki Tomoko looked at everyone's expressions and finally looked at Akaso Kaze, her pretty face blushing.

Akaso Kaze's burning gaze was fixed on her chest.

Suzuki Tomoko was not a naive girl like Sonoko and Ran.

She straightened her back slightly, immediately revealing her proud figure even more.

She even deliberately gave Akaso Kaze a meaningful wink.

Akaso Kaze didn't see it; he was staring at the pearl on Suzuki Tomoko's chest with his Void Eye.

This real Black Star was indeed not an ordinary gemstone, but a true magic tool.

Engraved on it was a complex magic array he still couldn't understand.

And the most eerie thing was that using the Void Eye, he could feel it constantly absorbing the wearer's soul.

【Ding, discovered magic tool Dark Night Star, engraved with a basic prayer technique magic array, only for use by the direct bloodline of the Suzuki family.】

【Basic Prayer Technique: Can fulfill the user's wishes. The consumption of magic power is directly proportional to the size of the wish; when magic power is insufficient, it will absorb the user's soul as a supplement.】

Akaso Kaze frowned slightly as he watched.

This is not something a peaceful mage should make; it's simply a magic weapon.

It seems he needs to find an opportunity to remind Sonoko.

"Ran-older sister, Ran-older sister!"

Conan on the side suddenly waved toward the distance.

Kaitou Kid turned his head to look, and damn, Akaso Kaze was there.

He pretended not to hear and turned into the crowd.

The brat Conan hurriedly chased after him, grabbed his hand, and asked strangely:

"Ran-older sister, why are you running? Uncle Mouri and I were both over there... by the way, where did you go just now?"

Kaitou Kid immediately got into character: "Where else could I go? Of course, to look for you. Really, you only know how to run around everywhere."

"Uh, hehehe." The brat Conan gave two dry laughs.

Uncle Mouri also walked over and said: "Really, Ran, you haven't come back, I thought you were kidnapped by Kaitou Kid."

"Let's go, we'd better stick close to Akaso Kaze; I feel this guy definitely knows where Kaitou Kid is."

Kaitou Kid, disguised as Ran, wanted to cry but had no tears.

I was afraid he would know, that's why I didn't dare go over!

Don't pull me, go away.
