After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

Chapter 214 Kuroba Nakamori

The first thing Kuroba Kaito did after returning home was to go to the secret room in his house.

He looked around with mixed emotions. This was the beginning of his journey to become Kaito Kidd...

He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination and relief.

Now, he can finally let it all go.

Today...Uncle Nakamori and Aoko should be at home, right?

Kuroba Kaito hesitated for a moment, but still took out his cell phone and asked the two of them in the same tone as usual if they wanted to have dinner together.

After sending the message, he couldn't help but hold his phone tightly, feeling uneasy.

He kept thinking about what he should say and the reactions of Nakamori and his daughter.

But the more he assumed, the more panicked he became. Finally, he collapsed on the sofa, feeling powerless.

Aoko Nakamori and her father were talking about Kuroba Kaito.

"I don't know what Kaito has been doing lately. We never see him around. He's even taken several days off from school." Nakamori Aoko, Nakamori Ginzo and Nakamori Aoiko complained.

Although it was a complaint, the Nakamori couple could clearly hear the worry in their tone.

It's a rare day for Aiko Nakamori to be at home. She is usually very busy, so it's usually just Ginzo Nakamori and Aoko Nakamori at home.

"Really? Is Kaito doing anything dangerous?" Nakamori Aiko frowned slightly. She started to doubt it when she heard that Kuroba Toichi had an accident during a magic show 8 years ago.

After all, the two families have been neighbors for so long, and they all know how cautious and careful Hei Yu Daoyi is. How could something go wrong in a magic show that is just like any other?

This matter was very strange, but unfortunately she didn't find any useful clues.

Kaito... he must have discovered something. It's been a year since we last met.

At that time, Aiko Nakamori felt that there seemed to be something different about Kaito Kuroba.

This made her very worried about the child, fearing that he would go astray in his pursuit of the truth.

"What can happen to that kid?" Nakamori Ginzo snorted in dissatisfaction at his daughter's look, but he was also a little worried in his heart.

"Huh? Kaito invited us to his house for dinner?" Nakamori Aoko said in surprise, holding the phone that had just received the message.

Kaito is back? Nakamori Aoko is both happy and a little angry. She must ask Kaito where he has been. She wonders if anyone will be worried about him.

Nakamori Ginzo, despite his thick skin, didn't notice anything, but was a little surprised. "That kid can cook?"

Instead, it was Aiko Nakamori who felt something was wrong.

Kaito... he's a little abnormal...

However, guessing alone won't tell you anything. I'll have to observe the child more at night to see if anything has happened to him...

When the doorbell rang, Kuroba Kaito had just finished cooking.

He opened the door and looked at the three people at the door with a little awkwardness and some surprise.

"Aunt Akiko, you're back?" Kuroba Kaito obviously didn't expect that Nakamori Akiko was also at home. He felt even more nervous.

In fact, he has always been afraid of Nakamori Aoko. When he was a child, he learned some magic and thought he was very powerful. He performed in front of Nakamori Aoko, but unexpectedly, Nakamori Aoko revealed his magic skills.

He was not convinced at first and tried hard to learn various magic tricks, but the result was always the same. At that time, in his mind, Aiko Nakamori was no different from a big devil.

It’s a good thing that Nakamori Aoi and Nakamori Ginzo had once had an argument about work, so they agreed not to discuss work matters easily.

Aunt Bizi is usually too busy to watch the news, so she doesn't know who "Kaito Kid" is.

Otherwise, the immature and naive self at the beginning would definitely be seen through at a glance, right?

Kuroba Kaito blinked his dry eyes, inexplicably beginning to recall the past, and brought the Nakamori family to the restaurant.

"Wow, did Kaito cook all of this?" Nakamori Aoko exclaimed as she looked at the table full of dishes. "Why haven't I seen you cook for yourself before?"

"Hmm... I've been quite busy." Kuroba Kaito rubbed his head and smiled. Worried that Aoko might continue to ask questions, he quickly asked everyone to take a seat.

Why else? I just don't want to stay in this cold and deserted home.

Ginzo Nakamori praised Kuroba Kaito's cooking skills and thought that they could discuss cooking techniques. In the Nakamori family, it was Ginzo Nakamori who cooked.

Aoko Nakamori also ate with gusto. Kaito’s cooking skills are really good. I’ll let Kaito cook for her next time!

Only Nakamori Aiko looked at Kuroba Kaito thoughtfully. She always felt that Kaito was a little strange today.

But she didn't show it, and instead chatted and ate with everyone as usual.

While eating, Kuroba Kaito looked at the scene in front of him inconspicuously, his eyes feeling a little hot.

"Kaito, has anything happened recently?" Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Nakamori Aiko asked directly.

From the very beginning, she had been observing Kuroba Kaito intentionally or unintentionally.

Kuroba Kaito behaved as usual, but he seemed nervous? He kept revealing fatigue and... sadness.

Nakamori Aiko didn't know why Kuroba Kaito showed such an expression, but she knew that no matter what, no matter what happened, they must communicate well first.

"Aunt Aiko..." Kuroba Kaito looked at Aiko Nakamori's encouraging and worried eyes, and couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, almost shedding tears.

But he held back. At this moment, Kuroba Kaito felt that no matter how many times he wrote the draft, it would be useless, because when people are nervous, their brains will go blank.

He lowered his head and was silent for a long time before speaking with difficulty: "I am Kaito Kidd."

His voice was a little soft, but it was very clear in the quiet environment.

"What...what! Bizi, I seemed to be hallucinating just now...Could it be that the recent investigation into Kidd is an illusion?" Nakamori Ginzo muttered to himself.

Aoko Nakamori was sure that she had not heard wrong. She opened and closed her mouth several times but could not utter a word. Her mind was in a mess.

Kaito is... Kaito Kidd?

"Anada. Let's hear what Kaito has to say." Aiko Nakamori was the fastest to react among the few people. Her understanding of Kaito Kid basically came from Nakamori Ginzo's occasional complaints.

However, she remembered that Kaito Kidd first appeared more than ten years ago, which didn't make sense.

Thinking about the blank period of several years when Kaito Kid disappeared, which happened to be when Kuroba Toichi got into trouble, Nakamori Aiko had a guess.

Second generation?

Kuroba Kaito wanted to look up, but he was afraid of seeing the expressions of disgust and anger on the Nakamori family's faces, so in the end he didn't dare to look up.

He slowly told the Nakamori family his suspicions about the truth behind Kuroba Toichi's death, how he found the secret room left by Kuroba Toichi, how he became Kaito Kid, how he knew why Kuroba Toichi had an accident, and even told the Nakamori family that Kuroba Toichi was still alive.

He did not talk about the tears he shed in the dead of night, the pain of being injured, or the fear of walking on the gray tightrope.

He simply downplayed the suffering he had endured.

Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean others don't know.

At least Nakamori Ginzo knew. Kaito Kid had been injured in many of the chases, and he hadn't thought much of it before, but when he put himself in the shoes of Kuroba Kaito, he felt a little distressed and guilty.

He was filled with dissatisfaction towards the irresponsible Hei Yu couple who faked their own deaths and traveled overseas.

Kaito is just a 17-year-old boy. Why leave him a meaningless secret room and encourage him to walk on a path that has no light just by listening?

Since you know that your enemy is powerful and cruel, shouldn't you protect your children even more?

Even if he didn't trust them as his long-time friends, was it the right thing to let his son bear such a heavy burden?

And this kid Kaito... How could he be so angry about this!

Aoko Nakamori naturally heard that Kuroba Kaito was hiding a lot in his words. Just from what he revealed, she knew that Kaito must have suffered a lot.

She was not completely clueless. Her father was a police inspector in the Second Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, and her mother was a prosecutor at the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

She knows better than many people how terrifying a terrorist organization can be.

Although she was a little angry, she was only angry that Kaito Kid had reduced the time she spent with her father.

If this person turned out to be Kaito, then she...

Aoko Nakamori felt a little flustered when she saw her father's silence, and subconsciously looked to her trusted mother for help.

She didn't know what to do. Would her father arrest Kaito? Would he hate Kaito? Would she and Kaito...

But, asking her to hate Kaito... She couldn't do it! That was Kaito, the Kaito who had promised to be with them forever...

He took off the monocle, the white top hat, and the white suit. He was only 17 years old, just a high school student. He just wanted to find out the cause of his father's death.

He was never the Kaito Kid people said he was.

Aiko Nakamori also knew that Kuroba Kaito was hiding something, such as why he suddenly confessed his identity to them and why he said there was no need to worry anymore.

She had many questions. As a prosecutor, she should have continued asking them. But emotionally, as a relative who had watched this boy grow up, she just wanted to...

Aiko Nakamori walked to Kaito Kuroba. Kaito Kuroba noticed it, but still didn't dare to look up. He just waited quietly for the sword of Damocles to fall.

but.

There is no blame, no disgust, only a warm embrace.

He could feel Nakamori Akiko's hand gently touching his head, again and again.

"It must have been very hard for you after such a long time. It's okay, it's all over." There was only endless heartache and worry in Nakamori Aiko's eyes.

She just wanted to hug this boy whom she treated as her own son and say thank you for his hard work.

It can bring a moment of peace to his wandering and wounded soul.

Kuroba Kaito looked up in surprise and met Nakamori Aiko's gentle eyes.

He had thought of many possible outcomes, the best of which was to become strangers. He had never imagined it would be like this.

They didn't hate him, stay away from him, or arrest him.

But...Kaito Kuroba mustered up the courage to look at Aoko Nakamori and Ginzo Nakamori.

But his eyes were full of heartache...

His vision went blurry, and he realized that his tears had unknowingly flowed out.

In Nakamori Akiko's arms, he whimpered like a wounded little animal.

Even though the Nakamori couple gave him the love of elders, they were not real parents after all, so he didn't even dare to cry too much.

However, Nakamori Akiko's patient and gentle comfort made him grow bigger and bigger, as if he wanted to vent all his grievances and sadness.

Aoko Nakamori couldn't hold back any longer, ran to the two of them, silently held Kuroba Kaito's hand, and tears kept falling like raindrops.

Ginzo Nakamori couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes. He walked into the kitchen, lit a cigarette, and thought about what to do next.

Capture Kaito Kidd? Impossible, that was the child he had watched grow up.

The sense of justice unique to the police is ultimately no match for their inner emotions.

Besides, there are human feelings outside the law, right?

Moreover, Kuroba Kaito also said that he would never appear as Kaito Kid again. He is only 17 years old and he is not an adult yet. What does he know?

Just like every parent behind a child who has made a mistake, Ginzo Nakamori can't help but make excuses for his child.

Besides, Kaito had his reasons for doing that. He just needed to educate him more, Kaito was still very obedient, wasn't he?

He silently put out the cigarette and made up his mind.

Sure enough, the source was still that couple.

Tsk, I'll let Kaito call his mom later, these two guys really are!

By the time Nakamori Ginzo left, the three of them had calmed down.

When Kuroba Kaito saw him coming out, he kept stealing glances at his face like a child who had made a mistake.

Nakamori Ginzo's heart softened, and his serious expression relaxed a little.

Kaito mustered up the courage to confess to them. This was trust, and he couldn't let it down.

"Ahem, call Mrs. Kuroba later and ask her to come back with Kuroba Toichi." Seeing Kuroba Kaito nodding dejectedly, his tone became much softer.

"no more chance."

Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito looked up, his eyes full of surprise.

Uncle, do you mean not to blame him?

"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." He knew his uncle's obsession with catching Kaito Kid, and he also knew how hard his uncle worked every time.

Nakamori Ginzo wanted to say, "You don't have to apologize. Is your gunshot wound healed?" He wanted to say, "Thank you for your hard work. You must have been scared too..."

He had a lot to say, but when he saw Kuroba Kaito's face, which looked like he was about to cry, only one sentence came to his lips:

"...Lean on us more, Kaito."

The Nakamori family has a strong sense of empathy, and they will not be angry with Kuroba Kaito because of these things.

Maybe there will be some, but more of it is heartache.

As for some things that Kuroba Kaito omitted, he didn't say anything and they didn't ask.

Because even Kuroba Kaito had confessed his identity to them, they didn't intend to find out about the things he didn't want to say.

As long as he is safe.
