“…He doesn’t follow that old Holmes adage?” Kaito was trying not to laugh. After all, even though it was improbable, observant people could figure it out. It was just a matter of getting solid evidence to convict him, which he wouldn’t allow if he could help it. And that was a bit of an asinine move on his part, all in all, after just denying he was KID.
“Well, that depends. It wouldn’t be Nakamori that I’d be worried about. But I appreciate your help, nonetheless. Don’t go getting hurt for my sake, though.” It wasn’t like Kaito could get hurt now very easily, so the more worrisome concern was the flock of crows deciding to hurt the bystanders, if they arrived.
“But I’m surprised. Secretly a KID fan?” He let out a chuckle. “I guess that’s a recurring thing, where even the cops usually like him. Go ahead and tell him some hints.”
“I’ll make sure that he’s properly briefed, and really, I don’t think there’s any cause for worry. The most dangerous part about these charity benefits is how dreadfully boring they are. Trust me. It’s nothing but a bunch of rich men and women dressed up as nicely as they can to show their equally rich friends just how much they belong…"
Hakuba shook his head, unable to resist rolling his eyes. Despite the fact that he is, indeed, one of those types himself.
"You’ll be just fine. The law enforcement members that are likely to come are all paper pushers, anyway… bureaucrat-types, making important decisions and speeches. Not easily startled or violent.”
