Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 6 Madam, you don’t want your husband to know about this, right?

Yuta Manaka, who was thinking about the possible meaning behind his mother's words, was unable to avoid the attack of the boiling tea.

A shrill scream.

Yuta fell to the floor in the corridor, covering his face with his hands. He could vaguely see that his skin was burned red.

It was because the tea was left for a while, otherwise his fate might have been even worse.

Mrs. Manaka looked at Haruhiko in shock.

Before she could say anything, Haruhiko grabbed the exorcism salt and sprinkled it on the burned part of Yuta's face.

Another scream.

Kosaka Haruhiko then began to explain: "Mrs. Manaka, didn't I tell you that no one can disturb us during the exorcism?
Now, the evil spirit has entered Manaka-san's body, and we're in big trouble."

"But...eh? You, you know each other?" Mrs. Manaka looked confused.

Then she ran to Yuta and helped him up.

Since Yumiko Manaka didn't know about the conflict between Yuta and Haruhiko, she didn't think of it as malicious revenge.

There is also the requirement to clear the area when exorcising ghosts, which was an agreement reached over the phone before.

It was originally an unnecessary rule, the purpose of which was to make oneself appear more professional, but unexpectedly it produced an unexpected effect.

Haruhiko glanced at Yuta Manaka, who was still in shock, and thought to himself, I can't let you go so easily.

A cup of hot tea is far from enough to undo the sins you have committed.

Haruhiko smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Manaka-kun and I are classmates. We have a good relationship. I usually feel very close thanks to Manaka-kun's care."

Manaka Yuta also recovered at this time: "Bullshit, I think you are tired of living!"

As he said this, he rushed forward, waving his fists.

Yumiko, who was sandwiched between the two of them, slapped Yuta in the face.

Xiong Tai grimaced in pain: "Mom?"

"Shut up! Who told you to come back so early? You interrupted the exorcism ceremony, you deserve it!" Manaka Yumiko said angrily, "What else can you do all day besides causing trouble for the family?"

Xiong Tai was furious, but he didn't dare to show it.

If he told others about the bad things he had done at school, he would probably suffer more beatings. Most importantly, he would not be able to get his pocket money, which Yuta could not accept.

Xiong Tai angrily said, "Mom, don't be fooled by him! His exorcism agency is a scam!"

Yumiko raised her hand to hit him, and Yuta was so scared that he lowered his head to dodge.

Haruhiko Kousaka was very satisfied when he saw the loving scene between mother and son.

It seems that Yuta Manaka is very afraid of his mother, so that's easy to deal with.

Haruhiko took out some exorcism tools from his bag and pretended to chant a few spells.

Then he slowly spoke, "Manaka-kun, you came back at an unfortunate time. The evil spirit of the cat was about to dissipate, but you interrupted it. Now all the resentment of the cat demon before its death has been instilled into your body. If you don't deal with it quickly, it may cause unrest in the family."

"Really?" Yumiko Manaka looked worried.

Manaka Yuta's eyes were blazing with anger, but his mother gave him a sharp look, and he stood there obediently.

However, Yuta had already made up his mind. He would accompany him to finish the trick first, and when he got to school, he would definitely make this guy lick the soles of his shoes.

Manaka Yumiko asked worriedly, "What should we do then?"

Haruhiko consoled him, "Don't worry too much. Our lineage has a special way to deal with it. We write special talismans on the body, and the resentment will be eliminated in a few days."

"So easy? Then let's get started." Mrs. Manaka pulled Yuta's arm and asked him to sit on the chair. "Where do you write it? Do you want me to take off my clothes?"

Haruhiko shook his head: "No need to take off your clothes, just write it on the top of your head."

"On the top of the head?" Mrs. Manaka glanced at her son's dazzling crew cut. "Can you write on the top of your head?"

"So you have to shave your hair." Haruhiko showed a devilish smile.

Yuta stood up suddenly, knocking the stool over, and glared at Haruhiko Kousaka.

Only then did Xiongta understand the other party's purpose.

How dare you set your sights on your beloved hair?

It seems that I didn't hit him hard enough.

However, Xiongta was not too worried. He felt that his mother would not agree to this guy's unreasonable request.

Yuta Manaka looked at his mother, and sure enough, Yumiko Manaka had a look of hesitation on her face.

"Is there no other way?" asked Yumiko Manaka.

She knew very well how much Yuta valued his hair, which was even more important than his life. When he was at home, he would go to the mirror to admire himself for a while every once in a while.

Haruhiko spread his hands and said, "There's nothing we can do. You'd better make a decision quickly. Otherwise, not only will Manaka-san be in trouble, but the cat's spirit will also haunt your family, and it will be difficult to deal with it then."

"This..." Yumiko Manaka bit her lip, feeling very conflicted.

"Madam, you don't want your husband to know about this, right?" Haruhiko said the ultimate move in a strange tone.

This sentence seems to be very lethal.

Mrs. Manaka's eyes seemed to become firm in an instant.

"OK then."

"What?!" A protesting voice came from behind immediately, "Mom, are you crazy? How can you listen to his nonsense!"

Mrs. Manaka apologized to Haruhiko and said, "Wait a moment," then took her son to the bedroom.

Not long after, the mother and son came out one after another.

Yuta's face looked extremely ugly, and it seemed that he was persuaded by threats and inducements.

He walked up to Haruhiko with red eyes and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Just wait, I will repay you double for today's humiliation. Wash your tongue clean!"

"I'm looking forward to it too, Manaka-kun." Haruhiko smiled and said to Yumiko, "Let's get started."

Mrs. Manaka nodded.

As time was running out, Yumiko decided to do it herself and use scissors, razors and other tools at home to clean Yuta's hair.

Yuta Manaka sat there with a deathly pale face.

What he was thinking was why did things develop to this point?
He was clearly a piece of trash who would crawl at his feet if he showed a slightly more aggressive attitude, yet he dared to humiliate himself in this way.

What Xiongta couldn't accept the most was that he actually succeeded.

No matter how he tried to persuade his mother, it had no effect. His mother seemed to trust this guy very much, and even had a little fear of him.

click-

The crisp sound of scissors reached Yuta's ears.

He closed his eyes and tried not to look at Kousaka Haruhiko's gloating face.

...

It seemed that without the protection of the golden airplane head, Yuta turned into a soulless puppet doll, sitting there in a daze.

Since the goal had been achieved, Haruhiko casually wrote a few words on the top of Yuta Manaka's head and hastily ended this additional exorcism.

Before leaving, Mrs. Manaka gave Haruhiko an extra 2 yen as a reward.

Standing at the entrance, Yumiko Manaka handed Haruhiko a business card.

"There are some paranormal incidents at my husband's company that have not been solved. Can I make an appointment with you?" Yumiko said.

"Of course no problem." Haruhiko agreed with a smile.

After the two agreed on a time, Haruhiko left Manaka's house.

Because of this sudden incident, it was completely dark when he left Manaka's house.

Neon signs flashed on both sides of the street, and hot girls in miniskirts showed off their beautiful bodies unscrupulously, attracting many people to stop and watch.

Haruhiko sighed, his plan to buy a cheap bento might be ruined.

He had no choice but to choose a ramen restaurant with few people and had a quick bite.

Then I rushed home as fast as I could, locked the doors and windows, sat on the sofa and closed my eyes.

The rice cooker and the instruction manual appeared in front of my eyes, and the entries in the instruction manual had indeed changed.

First, the evil spirits retreat changed from 0 to 1.

It’s upgraded, and Haruhiko clicked on it happily.

I found that under the original entry for exorcising evil spirits, there was a new entry with a lighter color.

"Salvation of the Wrathful Spirits"

Explanation: The malice deep within the human heart is the favorite food of vengeful spirits.

Similarly, if you focus your attention on it, specific methods of use will flood into your brain, which is very convenient.

The process is roughly the same as the previous process of exorcising evil spirits.

However, this vengeful spirit sits on people's shoulders and absorbs the malice generated by humans, while at the same time bewitching people's hearts and forcing the host to produce stronger malice.

No wonder there are so many murderers in the Conan world who kill for strange reasons.

Moreover, before salvation, there is an additional prerequisite that the other party needs to repent, otherwise the vengeful spirit will not leave the body.

Haruhiko couldn't help but think of the scene in the Conan animation where the criminal knelt and confessed.

No way?
Is it forcing me to become a detective?

The level of kendo has not increased and remains at 29. Could it be that the cat's purity is insufficient?

However, the improvement brought by "Evil Spirits Repel" 1 is not small. In addition to acquiring new skills, Haruhiko clearly feels that all aspects of his body have improved significantly compared to before.

If the original owner's physical condition is that of a "high school student with poor physical fitness".

After this exorcism, he has now become a "high school student with not-so-bad-physique."

I feel that Evil Spirits Repel is like a main skill tree, and as the level increases, certain attributes will be improved.

Although the improvement is not big, it is a real improvement.

This is just the evil spirit of a cat. If it were a human, the improvement would probably be even greater.

In Conan's world, what is most abundant is people being killed for various reasons.

Isn’t this another future to look forward to?

Haruhiko Kousaka immediately thought of his classmate Shinichi Kudo, the man with the aura of the god of death.

I absolutely have to get along well with him, the Death Halo and my rice cooker are a perfect match.

Haruhiko remembered that Kudo Shinichi had not been attending class for a while, but this guy often went out. He was not sure whether he went out to solve a case or turned into a Death God elementary school student.

Let’s go to school tomorrow and ask Xiaolan to find out.

However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Even if you find Kudo Shinichi, you may not encounter a murder case immediately.

What he is most looking forward to now is the appointment with Mrs. Manaka this Saturday. Perhaps it would be a good idea to practice with a few monsters like cat demons first.

Haruhiko read some more to avoid performing too badly on the in-class test tomorrow, and then went to bed.

Haruhiko was lying on the bed, and the image of Suzuki Sonoko's slender white legs under her pleated skirt appeared in his mind.

I became the young lady's follower for unknown reasons, and I don't know whether it is good or bad.

After having his head shaved by himself, Yuta Manaka was like a child without the protection of armor. It seemed that he would not be in trouble for a while.

That ramen shop tastes really good, I'll go there again next time...

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Kousaka Haruhiko's mind, and he fell asleep in a daze.

...

The next day, Saturday.

No need to go to school.

Haruhiko Kousaka was staring at the calendar in front of him with a milk in his hand.

The sunlight coming in through the glass windows and the sound of car horns outside the window all indicate that everything in front of me is real.

He slept and skipped directly from Wednesday to Saturday.

Is this really a timeline unique to the world of science?

After carefully feeling his body and finding that there didn't seem to be anything wrong, Kousaka Haruhiko accepted this reality.

If they can even accept time travel, what does a small instability in the timeline matter?

What's more, compared to going to school, he is now more looking forward to testing the new skills of the rice cooker and improving his strength as soon as possible.

For the next morning, Haruhiko Kousaka was trying to get a better understanding of this world. Although he had watched Detective Conan in his previous life, who could remember all the episodes of the anime?

The most important thing is that although the world view setting in Conan is based on Japan, there are actually many differences.

For example, in the real world, there is no high school girl who can easily break a concrete pole, and there is probably no APTX4869 that can make people smaller.

The development of technology here is also a mystery. Haruhiko always feels that he will see strange scenes of communication between a hand-cranked landline phone and a video-enabled mobile phone.

You know what, it’s quite interesting to think about it this way.

Because the original owner's social circle is not wide, the information he knows is not much, most of which is related to exorcism. It seems that if he wants to understand more about the world, he has to rely on himself.

But Haruhiko was not in a hurry. After all, he was already here, so he might as well enjoy this wonderful journey slowly.

At the appointed time, Haruhiko took out his business card and called Mr. Manaka to discuss the specific matters.

But the call never got through.

Haruhiko had no choice but to call Yumiko Manaka, but unexpectedly, Yumiko Manaka couldn't contact her husband either.

This is trouble.

Haruhiko didn't want to give up this opportunity. He was looking forward to the exorcism ceremony because not only could he earn a living, but he could also improve his strength at the same time. It was a win-win situation.

So Haruhiko asked if Yumiko could take her to her husband's company.

Mrs. Manaka was not surprised. She just thought that Haruhiko didn't want to give up this business and wanted to make more money.

She also wanted to resolve the nightmare that was haunting her husband as soon as possible, so she asked for Haruhiko's address and asked him to wait at home.

Not long after, Haruhiko saw a black luxury car parked outside through the glass window of the office.

Haruhiko picked up the exorcism tools he had prepared and walked out of the office.

The door of the black car opened and Yumiko Manaka got out.

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't get through to my husband on the phone and wasted your time," Yumiko said politely.

She wore light makeup today, and her black dress perfectly showed off the charm of a mature woman.

Haruhiko smiled and said, "It's okay. I just happened to have some free time today, so I wanted to take advantage of it to get things done before it gets too late."

Then Haruhiko Kousaka got into Yumiko Manaka's car and rushed to her husband's company.

After passing through a bustling commercial area, the car stopped in front of a retro-style building.

Mrs. Manaka went to park the car in the parking lot, leaving Haruhiko waiting at the door.

Haruhiko looked around this two-story building with an artistic atmosphere and found that it seemed different from what he had expected. He would have thought it was a high-rise office building or something like that.

But when he saw the plaque at the gate, his expression suddenly became strange.

The plaque had the words "Medieval Art Gallery" written on it in large letters.

The dusty memories in Haruhiko's mind suddenly emerged.

Boss Manaka, art museums, supernatural events, knight armor that walks on its own at night...

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

A murder happened so soon?

Just as I was thinking about it, a girl's voice came from behind me: "Kousaka-san, is that you?"

　New book, please collect and read. or2
