The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Hmm... okay!" Ran looked at the expectant look in Sonoko's eyes and couldn't bear to refuse her. So after hesitating for a moment, she nodded in agreement. "Then I'll call home and tell Dad first."

As she spoke, Xiaolan took out her phone, walked to the side, and dialed the number for the Mori Agency.

Seeing this, Sonoko also took out her phone and made a call to someone, saying, "Hello?! It's me, Sonoko... Um, I'm having dinner out with Ran and the others before going home. Could you cancel my reservation at the French restaurant tonight?"

Aragaki Yu:......

Aragaki Yu silently rolled his eyes at Sonoko.

Top-notch French cuisine?

Ramen?

Even a fool would know which one to choose!

As for why Yuu Aragaki made this suggestion, it wasn't really because he was that interested in the delicious ramen Ran mentioned.

But he felt the scene was somewhat familiar: on the way home from school, delicious ramen, Ran and Sonoko with their slightly death-like aura. If he went there, who knows what kind of case might happen!

The thought of having three hungry shikigami at home made Aragaki Yu's anticipation for the case higher than ever before.

Sigh, every family has its own troubles.

……

The ramen shop that Xiaolan mentioned wasn't far away.

Following Yuu and Sonoko through countless twists and turns, the three finally arrived at their destination.

Looking at the ramen shop's remote location, Yuya Aragaki could only sigh, "It really is quite out of the way."

I don't know how the customers who dine at this restaurant found it.

This ramen shop looks unassuming, with a rather small storefront, but when Yu Aragaki walked inside, he was somewhat surprised.

It's not that the store's decoration is particularly luxurious; on the contrary, it's exceptionally simple and refreshing. Apart from the bar, tables, and chairs, the only other items are various paintings hanging on the walls, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Because it was still early, there weren't many customers in the shop at the moment, but the rich and irresistible aroma of ramen filled every corner of the store.

Upon smelling this aroma, even Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

"Welcome, three guests! There's a seat over there, please follow me!"

As soon as the three entered the store, a waiter came out from behind the counter and beckoned them to a table where no one was sitting.

He must be the handsome new employee that Xiaolan mentioned.

When Sonoko first saw him, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

He has striking brown hair, a clean and delicate face that is captivating, and rare wheat-colored skin that makes him look exceptionally cheerful and sunny.

Not to mention Sonoko, even Aragaki Yu was almost speechless when he saw him.

[This... isn't this the legendary "King of Wage Earners"?! Goodness, I've finally run into him. I wonder how many jobs he's held this time.]

Toru Amuro!

Of course, Aragaki Yuu knew who this guy in front of him was.

A member of the Black Organization, codenamed "Bourbon," the future head employee of the White Café, and also Kogoro Mouri's top disciple—of course, these are his public identities.

His true identity is an undercover agent planted by the Japanese Public Security Bureau into the Black Organization, codenamed "Zero".

Yuu Aragaki looked at Tooru Amuro, who was greeting him warmly, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Yes, that's right, he's one of the culprits who turned the brewery into a waterworks."

Chapter 127 First, cut ten catties of essence.

"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?" After gesturing for Aragaki Yu and the others to take their seats, Amuro Tooru wiped the table and then asked them politely with a smile, "If this is your first time here, I recommend our signature dish—Tonkotsu Ramen. I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

Sonoko looked at Amuro Tooru, who was beaming with joy, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and she was too excited to speak.

"I want..." Xiaolan looked at the menu in the store, hesitated for a moment, and then prepared to order.

Then, before he could even begin to speak, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Aragaki Yu: "First, we need ten catties of lean meat, chopped into minced meat, with not a single bit of fat on it."

Toru Amuro: ? ? ?

Amuro Tooru stared wide-eyed at the customer in front of him. Although it was very impolite, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This customer, is he a little crazy?"

"Huh!?" Not only was Amuro Tooru stunned, but even Ran and Sonoko next to him looked at Aragaki Yu in surprise.

Xiaolan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

There weren't many people talking in the store to begin with, and in that instant, the atmosphere became eerily quiet.

Before the others could react, Aragaki Yu continued to demand from Amuro Tooru: "After that, cut me another ten pounds of fatty meat, minced into a paste, without a single bit of lean meat on it. Finally, I need another ten pounds of cartilage, minced like that, also without a single bit of meat on it..."

Leaving aside Ran and Sonoko, who were already dumbfounded with beady eyes, the surrounding diners burst into laughter upon hearing Aragaki Yu's remarks.

This person is really interesting!

“This, sir, this is a ramen shop... If you want to buy meat, I recommend you go to Sato Kuhido.” Amuro Tooru’s face darkened as he suppressed the urge to draw his gun and explained to Aragaki Yu.

Amuro Tooru was now certain that this strange guy in front of him was definitely here to cause trouble!

Fortunately, Amuro Tooru was naturally dark-skinned, so his dark face wasn't noticeable at this moment.

(Amuro Tooru: What do you mean by "black"? I'm just not fair-skinned! Mine is a healthy tan, while the one with dark skin is called a giant black chicken!)

Looking at the forced smile on Amuro Tooru's face, which was twitching incessantly, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but sincerely admire his level of professionalism.

Before Amuro Tooru could have his outburst, Aragaki Yu laughed and quickly defused the awkward situation: "Excuse me, sir, I've been so engrossed in reading novels lately that when you asked me that, I couldn't help but chime in. Just give me a bowl of tonkotsu ramen, please!"

"Phew~" Seeing that the guest in front of him had finally returned to normal, Amuro Tooru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, even though he didn't quite believe what he said.

After nodding to confirm receipt, he quickly turned his gaze to the two girls beside him.

Fearing that the waiter might be further upset, Xiaolan and Yuanzi quickly made their own requests.

"I want tonkotsu ramen too!"

"Then I'll have soy sauce ramen!"

Thankfully, the two girls in front of us are normal people!

"Okay, two servings of tonkotsu ramen and one serving of soy sauce ramen!" After confirming the order with the three of them, Amuro Tooru headed towards the kitchen.

However, on the way back, Amuro Tooru couldn't help but look back at Aragaki Yu.

[What happened to this handsome young man? He's not quite right in the head!]

Yuya Aragaki noticed Amuro Tooru's actions, and he could also sense that Amuro Tooru harbored deep resentment towards him at that moment.

Amuro Tooru was also curious about what novel this strange guest was reading. He would definitely study it carefully when he got home to see how the characters in the book handled this request.

Looking at Amuro Tooru's speechless expression, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but chuckle to himself: "It's rare for him to be so cheeky, especially towards the legendary Amuro Tooru. This is just too much fun!"

Indeed, a large part of one's happiness is built on the suffering of others.

For example, that cheerful wind man.

"..."

Ran and Sonoko exchanged bewildered glances as they looked at Aragaki Yu's eerie smile.

Finally, unable to bear the guilt any longer, Ran whispered to Aragaki Yu, "Aragaki... I think you should read less of those weird novels in the future..."

Aragaki Yu:? ? ?

strange?

What's strange about it?

……

Because there weren't many customers in the shop at that time, the group didn't have to wait long before Amuro Tooru came over with three steaming bowls of ramen.

"Gentlemen, your ramen is ready!" Amuro Tooru politely served the ramen to the three of them, then ran away without looking back, afraid that if he stayed even a second longer, the boy would make another strange request.

I've already chopped up the lean meat, the fat, and even the cartilage. Who knows what he'll ask me to chop up next time?

Looking at the tempting tonkotsu ramen in front of him, Aragaki Yu was greeted by a rich aroma of noodles and the simmering fragrance of pork bones and vegetables. The various toppings on top were so plentiful that they were dazzling and made his mouth water.

Chiliu~

Following the sound, Yuu Aragaki looked over and found that Ran and Sonoko were already engrossed in the delicious ramen.

"I'm going to start eating now!"

As soon as Yuichi Aragaki picked up his chopsticks and reached into the bowl, his hand froze.

He glanced suspiciously at Amuro Tooru, who had returned to the bar, feeling a little uneasy. Would Amuro poison him as revenge?

Although Yuu Aragaki suggested that Ran and Sonoko go out for ramen to see if he could get involved in any cases, the consequences of him becoming a victim himself would be too much to bear!

Yuto Aragaki has already decided on the title for this episode—

Delicious Ramen (The Suicide Edition)

However, Aragaki Yu hesitated for only a few seconds before continuing to eat.

Heh... After all, Amuro Tooru is essentially a policeman, so why would he do something like this!

However, just as he was about to put the noodles into his mouth, the thought popped into Aragaki Yu's mind that he wanted the Yuki-onna to come out and have a taste first.

Of course, it's not because I'm afraid; after all, good things should be shared!
