Chapter 763: Favors compound interest and can never be repaid!
"It's about billiards."
Kuroba Kaito responded, "Mr. Terai is my father's friend. This story started before he met my father..."
"Okay! Stop it!"
Fujino raised his hand and spoke, interrupting Douzi's speech, "Just focus on the key points. It's best to keep it simple. Don't go on and on like a comic. People who don't know will think you are just making up a storyline!"
"All right……"
Kuroba Kaito clicked his tongue and sorted out his words. "Mr. Terai once owned a [legendary golf club] that was inlaid with diamonds and gems. But a long time ago, when he was betting with a gang, he was careless and let the other gang cheat and win the club."
"The old man is running the Blue Parrot Billiard Bar we are in now, but there are too few customers... If there was that ball as the treasure of the shop, many people would definitely come here to visit."
Then he brought up the point: "Now the [legendary cue] is in a billiard bar called [USA], so I plan to win that cue back."
After hearing this, Fujino sorted out the key information, then looked at Kuroba Kaito and asked, "So this time you want to ask me for help?"
"To be precise, it should be to help the old man. I just want to help."
Kuroba Kaito scratched his head embarrassedly and peeled off the sutra himself.
I owe Fujino so many favors now. If I continue to owe him, I will probably be left with nothing. I can't even pay him back even if I sell myself!
So, I'm sorry, old man!
[Kaito Kuroba decisively activates the Holy Separator to perform a light-speed cut]
Terai Huang Zhisuke, who was mixing drinks nearby: “……?”
Master, if you don’t want to sell it, I don’t want to sell it either!
The favor that Fujino lent you is obvious to all!
The interest on favors is compounded and can never be repaid!
Terai Huang Zhisuke was a little helpless. He nodded while mixing the drinks and said, "It is indeed what the young master said."
"But it shouldn't be difficult to win back the club, right?"
Fujino rested his elbows on the bar, supporting his chin with his hands as he thought for a moment. "Since Mr. Terai was the one who had the legendary golf club back then, it should be easy for you to win the club back. Even if Mr. Terai is old, it shouldn't be a problem for him to give you some guidance."
"Well..."
Kuroba Kaito hesitated, looking embarrassed.
"You don't know how to play billiards, do you?"
Fujino noticed this very keenly and immediately became suspicious.
"Ahem, how is that possible!"
"Then why don't you give it a try?"
"Try and you'll die!"
Kaito Kuroba got up from the bar, walked to a pool table, picked up the cue and hit the white ball.
"Crack!"
The cue perfectly dodged the white ball and poked into the green felt of the pool table.
"..."
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Fujino couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows, and patted Kuroba Kaito on the shoulder: "Let me do it."
Kuroba Kaito handed the club to Fujino in silence.
"Sixteen balls, American billiards, not as interesting as snooker..."
Fujino took the club, took a look at the table, then leaned over and hit the club.
Crash-!
Half of my sixteen tee shots went into the hole.
Fujino selected the pure-colored ball and continued to hit the ball with smooth movements.
Clap clap clap!
Fujino cleared the only four balls left on the table in ten seconds.
Kuroba Kaito was stunned: "How did you do it?" "Just relying on the control of strength."
Fujino blew on the tip of his golf club and said, "If you have the strength to punch someone seven or eight meters away and kick a tree to break it, you can definitely reach this level."
As he said that, he patted Kuroba Kaito on the shoulder again and said, "Brother, if you are new, just practice more. I believe that one day you will be able to reach my level."
"..."Kaito Kuroba silently returned to his seat and sat down.
"This Kaito guy is just an idiot at pool!"
Nakamori Aoko covered her face, not wanting to watch, and sighed helplessly, "That's why we asked Detective Fujino to help us..."
Then she clenched her fists and continued, "But it seems that we found the right person. If it's Detective Fujino, we can definitely win back the golf club!"
"It's really a bit idiotic that he didn't even hit the ball."
Koizumi Hongzi first laughed a proud and sharp laugh like a classic witch, then glanced at Kuroba Kaito with a queen-like gaze, stepped forward and teased: "I didn't expect that there are things that Mr. Kaito Kid is not good at..."
"You are so annoying..."
Kuroba Kaito's face darkened, and he said helplessly: "How many times have I told you, I am not Kaito Kidd."
"Then you really are like brothers."
Koizumi Hongzi curled her lips and whispered, "Stinky men all take off their masks and don't recognize people."
"Who is his brother?"
Kuroba Kaito showed dead fish eyes.
One induces embarrassment, the other makes sarcastic remarks.
You two planned this ahead of time, right?
That's right, can't the detective tell that I can't play pool?
You two are definitely targeting me, Kaito KID!
Aoko Nakamori looked confused and squinted her eyes suspiciously. "Hey, Kaito, when did you and Detective Fujino become so close? How come I didn't know about this?"
"Well..."
Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly realized that in Aoko's eyes, he and Fujino seemed to be people who had only met a few times.
"Ahem, actually we two have known each other for a long time."
Fujino came back and put his arm around Touzi's shoulders, then explained with a fake poker face, "It was probably the last time we went skiing. He entrusted me with a task for 100,000 yen, and after that, we became clients and employers, and also friends."
As he spoke, he pinched Touzi's shoulder and asked Kuroba Kaito kindly with a smile on his face, "Am I right, Touzi?"
"That's right, that's right"
Kuroba Kaito just realized what Touzi called him, but he didn't think too much about it and just nodded in response.
Let’s get through the childhood sweetheart phase first!
Nakamori Aoko's innocent nature is similar to Xiaolan's. After hearing this explanation, Lame Hand suddenly understood: "So that's how it is!"
"..."
Koizumi Hongzi, who was standing by, looked at Aoko's silly look and was speechless: "So, the only way for a person with a hidden identity to avoid being exposed is if he has a childhood sweetheart like this who is so innocent, right?"
"But skiing... 100,000 yen..."
Thinking secretly in her heart, Koizumi Hongzi suddenly felt uncomfortable.
——Sometimes fate has already secretly marked a price.
"Anyway, let's discuss the matter of that [American] billiard bar."
Fujino sat back in his seat and changed the subject, "I don't know much about that bar. You guys give me a brief summary."
"I know!"
Nakamori Aoko turned around and said, "That bar is right in front of the station. I heard that people under 18 are not allowed to enter. Even if they are not dressed formally like adults, they are not allowed to enter."
