Ran walked towards the phone hanging on the cabin wall, "I get it. Since you suspect me so much, just call the police then!"

With a "bang!", the soccer ball, kicked by Conan with his power-enhancing shoes, smashed into the phone on the wall. Ran stared in horror at the shattered phone.

"Hmph! Don't even think about pulling that disappearing trick you used on the hotel rooftop that day. I know you disguised yourself as a police officer and escaped during the flash. "

The soccer ball slowly rolled back to Conan's feet. "At a time like this, how can you still do something as foolish as calling for help? I specifically designed this one-on-one showdown to pay tribute to the criminal artist who dared to break into such a heavily guarded place alone."

Ran remained silent, merely staring at Conan.

"However, excellent artists almost always become famous only after their deaths." Conan stepped on the soccer ball and said coldly, "I've decided to make you famous, Kid the Phantom Thief! I'll send you into the grave of prison!"

'Ran' saw Conan deliberately intending to kick another super-powerful soccer ball, and raised both hands, her voice changing to a baritone. "Alright, I surrender. I'm giving up on this pearl. Tell the lady I'm very sorry for ruining her party." Kid the Phantom Thief revealed his true face. He tossed the pearl to Conan.

Conan caught the pearl, "Hmph, less talk, more action!"

"Oh, right!" Kid lowered his head, looking at the clothes he was wearing, and pretended to be surprised. "The girl whose clothes I borrowed is still lying in the lifeboat. If you don't find her quickly, won't she catch a cold? What can I say, I'm a perfectionist!" With that, Kid pulled out a piece of women's underwear from the clothes.

"What?!" Conan was startled to see the women's underwear in Kid's hand. An image of a naked Ran lying in a lifeboat involuntarily flashed through his mind.

"Boom!" Kid took this opportunity to put on his sunglasses, threw a flashbang, and escaped.

"Another flashbang! Damn it! He got away!" Conan immediately wanted to run out and chase Kid, but looking at Ran's clothes that Kid had worn, lying on the ground, Conan was caught between a rock and a hard place. If he chased Kid, Ran would still be naked in the lifeboat. If he saved Ran, Kid, who was within his grasp, would escape.

"Damn it! Just you wait!" After much consideration, Conan picked up the pile of clothes and ran towards the lifeboat Kid mentioned.

"It's a good thing Kid was decent enough. Although he put Ran to sleep, at least he covered her with a blanket. Otherwise, I would have dealt with him too." Seeing Ran lying in the lifeboat, Yuu was about to pick her up.

"Ah! Wait a minute! Yuu, no, you can't!" Thinking of Ran not wearing clothes, Conan anxiously ran while carrying the clothes, shouting.

"Huh?" But when he reached Yuu, he found that Ran had already been carried up by Yuu. However, Ran was wearing clothes, and Conan stood there, holding the clothes, dumbfounded.

A note was stuck to Ran's clothes, left by Kid the Phantom Thief: 'Thank you for lending me this red dress the other day. It looks great on you. Phantom Thief Kid, who once appeared at the dry cleaner's.'

Seeing the content of this note, and recalling Conan's words earlier when he was holding the clothes and trying to stop him from picking up Ran, Yuu understood that Conan had definitely been tricked by Kid. He gave Conan a sly look.

Conan was very embarrassed by Yuu's gaze and could only curse Kid to vent his displeasure at being tricked. "Damn it! I'll definitely send you to prison!"

Afterwards, Conan discovered the glider Kid used to escape, but the police couldn't find Kid and could only assume he had vanished from the ship without a trace.

"Does that count as you winning? Or Conan winning?" Yuu looked at Kid, who was searching everywhere for a way to leave the ship. "What do you think?"

"What do you think!" Kid yelled at Yuu. "It's all that kid's fault! Now I have to swim back."

"Here, take this." Yuu took out an inflatable raft. "This is better than swimming back, right?"

"Why are you helping me?"

"Because you completed our transaction. Besides, I found this on the deck. If you don't want to use it, that's up to you." With that, Yuu turned and left.

"..." Kid stared blankly at Yuu's departing figure, then gritted his teeth and jumped off the ship with the inflatable raft. He couldn't possibly swim back, could he?

One night a month later, at Ayumi's house.

Ayumi was sitting on the sofa at home, watching a vampire movie with a dreamy look.

"Ayumi, it's time for bed. Go take a bath." Ayumi's mother told Ayumi to go to sleep.

"Can I just wait a bit longer? It's really exciting right now." Ayumi still wanted to keep watching.

"Aren't you going swimming tomorrow?"

"Alright." Ayumi had no choice but to go take a bath after hearing her mother say that.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" At this moment, the police were vigorously chasing Kid the Phantom Thief in their patrol cars on the road.

Kid "whooshed" his glider away and landed on the railing of Ayumi's balcony.

"Hmm?" Ayumi, who was sound asleep in her room, was woken by the sound. She got up and saw the shadow of a cape projected onto the floor through the window.

Ayumi walked out onto the balcony, where Kid the Phantom Thief was perched on the railing. "Who are you? Are you Mr. Vampire?"

Kid smiled, gracefully leaped onto the balcony, and gave Ayumi a kiss on the hand. "I am merely a magician whose wings are tired and wishes to rest them, little sister."

Just then, the police helicopters arrived, their searchlights and the searchlights from below illuminating Ayumi's balcony as if it were daytime.

Inspector Nakamori, on the ground floor, pointed at Kid the Phantom Thief and shouted to his subordinates, "He's over there! Don't let that guy escape! Catch Kid the Phantom Thief!"

Kid looked at the police downstairs and said to Ayumi, "Goodbye, little sister." After speaking, Kid calmly jumped off the balcony, unfurled his white glider behind him, and flew away into the distance, disappearing into the night.

"Wow! So cool!" Ayumi watched Kid's retreating figure with a blissful smile on her face.

"Damn it!" Inspector Nakamori was very displeased to see Kid fly away. "He got away again!"
