Plot
After hearing how Jii was hustled out of a gem-encrusted pool cue, Kaito brings him and Aoko for an undercover theft/retrieval.
Story
While playing a round pool with Aoko, Kaito is harassed by a goon who warns that his Boss will buy the Blue Parrot Billiards Club, owned by Jii himself. Jii remembers playing a great billiards player, Tsuujirou Hasura, who also happens to works for the Boss of the goon from earlier. After hearing how Jii was hustled out of his gem-encrusted pool cue, Kaito brings him and Aoko for an undercover theft/retrieval. KID sends an advanced notice of his theft to Hasura, and Jii brings the pair to the pool bar with Hasura; the only catch is that Kaito and Aoko pretend to be married university students to be able to enter. Kaito plays a few rounds where he loses each and in his last ante wagers Jii's club and Hasura's bejeweled cued. Aoko abruptly arrives inebriated after having drank a couple Martinis and plays on the piano to a tune matching Kaito's rhythm and Kaito wins using a spectacular pool technique his father taught him as a boy.
