File 02 - Okina City Jewel Heist [Case Closed!]

[truthinfortune]

My grandfather once told me to "never discount the butler on principle alone". I imagine he'll be quite amused when he learns that the butler really did do it this time.

I didn't say that at all! I believe that family heirlooms should remain within the family, but I'm only a detective. I don't have the authority to make laws or change them. A lawyer interprets law, the police enforce it, and a judge executes justice.

Perhaps that is the case, Kaito Kid. I'm assuming that's who is posting here, correct?

[truthinfortune]

I... can't really say. Law, in and of itself, is not an evil thing. There are unfair laws that exist, and people may try to twist the law to serve their own selfish ends, but that's only the minority. Without laws and rules, society inevitably collapses into chaos and ruin.

Hm, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that we're becoming "eternal rivals" . It sounds like the plot out of detective literature.

And I suppose you're referring to vigilantes, like yourself? Perhaps you don't simply steal out of a deep-seated need for attention. I think I'm beginning to work out your ulterior motive...

Well, I've never had the opportunity to garner the attentions of a true phantom thief. I think Grampa would be quite proud of me!

[truthinfortune]

I understand that. And yet, the fact that you seem more concerned about shaking up peoples' preconceived notions regarding law and order, and justice... You strike me more as the benevolent trickster. I wonder, Kid, if perhaps you've returned certain stolen goods to their "rightful" owners, just as Mr. Fujimoto's butler did.

Hm, maybe I am. It means my skills are truly good enough to attract a rival. Grampa always said that having a sparring partner spurns one to train even harder, to push their limits. And I have to admit, I find our idealogical discussions quite engaging.

[truthinfortune]

I think I shall.

The more I speak with you, the more I'm interested in meeting you in person. Now that the case is closed, I find myself with plenty of free time on my hands.

Then I suppose I had best start asking about your whereabouts. I know there are a number of people from your world who are members of this community. In fact, you seem to have quite a fan-following on your world.

[truthinfortune]

Haha! Keep on your toes, Kaitou Kid! I'll find you and learn who you really are! And that's a promise!

((You can tell Naoto is a little bit excited by all of this.))

[truthinfortune]

A Shirogane always honors his promises.

((On it! Let's just hope that my real life intellect can actually match Naoto's!))
