Hey. You know what would have been nice? A warning.

You have some explaining to do.

You know who you are.

I suppose I should give you some kind of thanks for your help today, then, Kid-kun.

[Explanations? Naaaaah.]

[moonlightmagician]

As well as tell me what the Hell that was.

[scarletandsherry]

Oh, Edogawa-kun didn't tell you everything? Perhaps we should wait for him to come and explain it then.

[And she knows he probably won't, so sorry about that.]

[modernholmes]

Thank you for your assistance.

[moonlightmagician]

No. And he won't tell me because he's a brat. You're the one I was made to disguise as so you must know why there were guys with guns and explosives after your life.

[moonlightmagician]

Funny. I would have thought that, with you being a detective and all, you would be able to correctly deduce who it was that owes me an explanation.

For the record- 'They'll probably try and corner her in a room with explosives' is not warning enough against hand grenades and guns.

I want answers.

[scarletandsherry]

Them? Well, unless you want them coming after your life with guns and explosives, I don't think you ought to know.

[moonlightmagician]

I'm the Kaitou Kid. They'd have to catch me to kill me.

[scarletandsherry]

[She lets out a quiet laugh.] Arrogance is exactly how I got myself into this chaos.

[modernholmes]

Deducted and ignored. You already know everything you need to know.

Oh? And here I thought someone told me that for Kaitou Kid nothing is impossible. I had full confidence in your ability to handle the situation,.

[moonlightmagician]

Is it?

Funny... you seem like more of the quiet type to me.

[ If you can tell, he is not mad at you. All his negative feelings are aimed at someone else. ]

[moonlightmagician]

[ You. Little. Brat. ]

I didn't say I couldn't do it. I just said I would have liked a better warning.

I hope you don't expect to get away with convincing me to go on a near suicide mission and not tell me why the Hell that was necessary.

[modernholmes]

All you need to know is that it was successful.

[moonlightmagician]

I'm giving you the chance to tell me what's going on. If you don't I'll be forced to get the information by other means.

[modernholmes]

I strongly advise you to leave it at this. Shouldn't a thief be more interested in his own problems?

[moonlightmagician]

I'm not an ordinary thief, Meitantei. I'm a Phantom thief. The rules I live by are much different than most.

[modernholmes]

My advice remains the same, no matter what you call yourself.

[scarletandsherry]

[She just shrugs nonchalantly.] There's a little something unexpected in all of us, wouldn't you say?

[moonlightmagician]

I guess so.

[moonlightmagician]

I will get the information. You know that as well as I do.

[scarletandsherry]

And along with what's unexpected are secrets. So I'll prefer to keep mine, for the time being.

[moonlightmagician]

I was almost grilled alive. I think I deserve at least some kind of explanation.

[scarletandsherry]

[She's silent for a few seconds before letting out a sigh.] Simply some people who have strong contempt for me.

[moonlightmagician]

I kind of figured that part out all on my own. Why do they have such strong contempt for you?

[scarletandsherry]

[Let sleeping dogs lie for once, Kid.] I... went against them. Now, may we leave it at that?

[moonlightmagician]

These guys are bad news. I don't exactly want to leave them to their own devices.

[scarletandsherry]

There isn't much else to do at the time. And frankly, I don't think you should involve yourself.

[modernholmes]

This isn't your concern.
