"It's about pool."

Kuroba Kaito answered, "Old Man Terai was a friend of my dad's. This goes back to before he even knew my dad..."

"Okay! Stop right there!"

Fujino raised a hand and interrupted Kaito before he could continue. "Just get to the point. Keep it simple, preferably. Don't drag it out like a manga padding for time—someone might think you're stalling the plot!"

"Fine..."

Kuroba Kaito clicked his tongue and organized his thoughts. "Old Man Terai once owned a Legendary Pool Cue. It had diamonds and gemstones embedded in it, but a long time ago, when he was gambling on pool with a gang, he let his guard down and they cheated him out of the cue."

"Now, the old man runs this Blue Parrot pool bar we're in, but there are barely any customers... If that cue were here as the establishment's prized treasure, plenty of people would definitely come looking for it."

Then he got to the point. "That Legendary Pool Cue is currently at a pool bar called America, so I'm planning to win it back."

Fujino sorted through the key details, then looked at Kuroba Kaito. "So this time, you want to ask me for help?"

"More accurately, it's helping the old man. I just want to help him out."

Kuroba Kaito scratched his head awkwardly, neatly removing himself from the equation.

He already owed Fujino far too many favors. If he kept piling them on, he would have nothing left—not even selling himself would be enough to repay them!

So, sorry about this, old man!

Kuroba Kaito decisively activated the Sacred Separator and cut ties at light speed.

Terai Konosuke, mixing drinks nearby: "...?"

Young master, you may not want to sell me, but I don't want to be sold either!

Everyone could
