The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Just as newborn cubs are drawn to the first creature they see.

Therefore, in most cases, the shikigami will try their best to comply with the onmyoji's orders.

However, once the relationship between the two parties deteriorates to the point of no return, there may even be cases where the shikigami betrays the onmyoji.

As for the consequences of a shikigami's betrayal...

At best, the shikigami will escape.

If you encounter those shikigami who have been terribly abused by Onmyoji, and who are psychologically unbalanced and have a strong desire for revenge.

Then the fate of those Onmyoji is often particularly tragic.

It was so tragic that it was printed in textbooks as a negative example for future generations to learn from.

Therefore, Aragaki Yu is also very happy to build a good relationship with his shikigami.

Not to mention, her own shikigami, Yuki-onna, is still so adorable.

Although the Snow Woman doesn't seem to be of much use right now.

In Aragaki Yu's opinion, it's probably just about having a snowball fight in winter.

It's a one-time use one.

After all, they only have the strength to launch one attack.

(Yuki-onna: ???)

However, Yuya Aragaki also knows that the strength of a shikigami is not static.

Through the shikigami's own training, or through some special awakening and training materials.

Both can greatly enhance the abilities of shikigami.

Yuu Aragaki knew that a powerful shikigami would be a great help to him in this turbulent world.

As for now, let's just consider it as adopting an obedient and adorable little animal, but with food, lodging, and education provided.

(Snow Woman: Politeness? You?)

As Yuu Aragaki sorted through the jumbled memories in his mind, he unknowingly finished off the fruit in front of him.

He clapped his hands, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and stood up.

It's getting late; it's time to prepare dinner.

As Yuu Aragaki pondered what to make for dinner, he selected ingredients from the convenience store in the refrigerator.

The lunch at the cafeteria didn't really suit Aragaki Yu's taste.

It's not that it's bad, it's just that Aragaki Yu is more used to eating authentic Chinese food.

Therefore, when buying ice cream for the Snow Woman, they also bought a lot of ingredients.

In my spare time, I can cook for myself.

Fortunately, because Aragaki Yu was alone in his previous life, he also developed a skill in cooking, even though he was not very good at it, in order to save money.

Now we no longer need to worry about food or water incompatibility.

"What do you want for dinner?" Aragaki Yu asked the snow woman who was still holding an ice cream.

"ice cream!"

He glanced at the Snow Woman speechlessly.

Ice cream for dinner... I should say, as expected of you!

Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea from eating this?

At first, Aragaki Yu was a little worried.

But then I thought again, shikigami shouldn't have diarrhea.

After all, even eating is not a necessity for shikigami.

They eat for two reasons: first, to experience the pleasure of taste, and second, to gain some spiritual energy by breaking down food.

Moreover, many shikigami living in human society unconsciously imitate human actions.

This includes, but is not limited to, eating and sleeping.

Even among Onmyoji, there are legends about humans and shikigami having offspring.

Thinking of this, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but steal another glance at the Snow Woman.

As expected, it should still be an egg group.

……

Ring ring ring~

……

Suddenly, Yuu Aragaki, who was lost in thought, was startled awake by the ringing of the phone.

Even the snow woman standing to the side couldn't help but turn her head to look at Aragaki Yu.

Aragaki Yu hurriedly pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Ok?

It was Xiaolan calling.

During their lunch break, Aragaki Yu and Ran Shinichi exchanged phone numbers.

Ugh?

Aragaki Yu was extremely flustered.

Xiaolan, did you call me?

Does Shinichi know this?

"Hello." Regardless of what Aragaki Yu was thinking, he answered the phone with practiced ease.

"Aragaki-kun!" Ran's voice came through the phone, "Did you leave your schoolbag at school?"

"Huh? What... a schoolbag?" Aragaki Yu repeated in surprise.

"Um... Aragaki-san..." Ran Mouri's hesitant voice came through the phone again, "Aragaki-san, you don't not know about the homework, do you?"

Aragaki Yu: Holy crap!!!

Chapter 9 Come to the door

Operation?

What a joke!

There are no time travelers who would remember things like homework after time travel.

Although in Japan, high school students don't have a lot of homework.

However, generally speaking, some things are arranged every day.

On the other end of the phone.

Ran Mouri held up her phone, but when she noticed that Yuu Aragaki didn't say anything for a long time, she immediately understood.

Yuu Aragaki must have forgotten about his homework.

She couldn't help but speak up, prompting the silent Aragaki Yu: "Aragaki-kun?"

After all, it's really awkward to stay silent.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Ran, I'll go back to school to get it right away!" Aragaki Yu felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay! Aragaki-kun, then I'll take your backpack... um?" Ran's words were cut off abruptly.

Aragaki Yu could tell that Ran on the other end of the phone seemed to have her mouth covered by someone's hand.

Then, faint, hushed conversations could be heard from the other end.

Aragaki Yu knew that this must be because someone had covered the phone's microphone.

"Ran, why don't we deliver Aragaki's schoolbag to him? We can also take the opportunity to find out his address!"

Although the sound was muffled, Yuya Aragaki recognized that the voice he had just heard was Sonoko's.

"Oh, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Xiaolan hesitated.

"Ran, aren't you even a little bit curious about where Aragaki-kun lives?"

"I think only you, Sonoko, want to know this kind of thing!" Shinichi Kudo's voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"Mind your own business!" Sonoko retorted irritably to Shinichi.

She then continued to persuade Xiaolan, "We're going out to eat together anyway! Maybe we can find a good restaurant near Aragaki's house!"

"But……"

"Please, Ran~~"

"Alright, I'll ask then, but if Aragaki-san doesn't want to, I also..."
