The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Ran had previously thought that Yuu Aragaki's cooking skills were probably just average.

At most, they're at the same level as themselves.

After all, as a high school student, and a boy at that, how much cooking ability could he possibly have?

But what she didn't expect was that later on...

He was surprised to find that he could only end up doing the same kind of work as Sonoko.

For example, helping to wash vegetables or plate them.

After all, looking at the dishes that Aragaki-kun made, he could only barely recognize that they were Chinese food.

But what exactly are they doing and how are they going to do it?

Xiaolan said she had absolutely no clue.

Unexpectedly, some ordinary ingredients became dazzling after being processed and cooked by Aragaki.

Putting aside everything else, at least in terms of cooking skills, in those short few tens of minutes...

Xiaolan was completely won over.

Shinichi Kudo, who had been kicked out of the kitchen at the beginning, couldn't wait to pick up a piece of braised pork in front of him.

Ignoring the fact that it was too hot to eat, I threw it into my mouth, took a bite, and the juicy flavor filled the air. Then I couldn't help but stuff a big mouthful of rice into my mouth.

This!

This smells so good!

A satisfied smile appeared on Shinichi Kudo's face.

Although Xiaolan's dishes were already perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

But compared to what's in front of us, it's like heaven and earth.

Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, considering his childhood sweetheart's fighting prowess, he wisely refrained from saying it aloud.

Meanwhile, Sonoko Suzuki, standing to the side, also tasted a piece of the dish in front of her, which Aragaki Yu called "sweet and sour pork ribs," with great anticipation.

Unexpectedly, the moment the ribs entered my mouth, the amazing flavor immediately filled my mouth.

The moment it enters your mouth, the tender ribs and the sauce clinging to them, along with the piping hot temperature, blend together to create an unparalleled taste.

The flavors of sugar and vinegar intertwined and blended together, achieving a perfect balance.

"My goodness! This, this... is so delicious!" Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed incoherently before she could even swallow the food in her mouth.

At this moment, she even felt that even the Michelin-starred chefs in her own home, with their high hats, were nothing special.

Xiaolan then took a bite of the dish called "Mapo Tofu" in front of her.

Fresh, fragrant, and spicy!

A taste I'd never experienced before rushed into my mind.

Aragaki-kun is really amazing.

Seeing that Shinichi and Sonoko beside him had also fallen for the Chinese food made by Aragaki Yu, they realized that...

Ran Mouri's expression turned somewhat strange, yet also somewhat expectant.

I wonder if letting my parents eat the dishes cooked by Aragaki at the same time would give them a chance to make up?

After all, this kind of food can immerse you in happiness.

Thinking about this, Ran Mouri suddenly realized what was going on, and her face showed undisguised confusion.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Aragaki-san, how come you can cook Chinese food? And you cook it so well! Where did you learn it?"

Although Xiaolan knew it was impolite to ask so many questions, she was genuinely curious about where she could learn such authentic Chinese cooking skills.

If possible, she would also like to learn it.

Or, if it's convenient, you could simply learn from Aragaki.

“Uh…” Aragaki Yu was stunned for a moment; he really hadn’t thought about how to explain this problem.

“My dad is in Hawaii…” The answer that was about to slip out was abruptly cut off by Yuu Aragaki. Quick-thinking, he replied, “There was a Chinese restaurant near where I used to live. I begged him for a long time before I learned to cook from a Chinese chef from the mysterious East.”

"Oh, I see! But you're really amazing, Aragaki-kun!" Ran exclaimed in agreement.

Then, unable to contain her excitement, she asked, "Can you tell me where that restaurant is? Can I go and learn from the master?"

Aragaki Yu shook his head with feigned regret and said, "It's a pity, he returned to China not long ago."

"Okay." Xiaolan nodded somewhat disappointedly.

However, after receiving a promise from Yuya Aragaki that he could teach her how to cook Chinese food, she regained her full energy.

As for Shinichi Kudo, although he didn't sense any flaws in what Yuu Aragaki said, he always had a vague feeling that the half-finished sentence he uttered sounded very familiar.

Meanwhile, Yuu Aragaki secretly observed Shinichi Kudo's reaction.

He seemed only slightly confused, but not suspicious, which put my mind at ease.

After all, I almost accidentally stole his lines.

And Shinichi Kudo is a very suspicious person.

Even the slightest thing that seems off could be noticed by him.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the delicious food on the table, so even if Aragaki Yu's statement had some flaws, it wasn't a big problem.

……

As time passes little by little.

The sky outside was gradually being dyed red by the setting sun.

At Aragaki Yu's home, the table full of food had been completely devoured by the four people.

Shinichi Kudo stretched his arms upwards with his hands crossed, groaning as he yawned.

Ran and Sonoko were both slumped in their chairs, each touching their round bellies, truly not wanting to move at all.

The two girls initially wanted to maintain their composure and didn't want to appear unladylike in front of their childhood sweetheart and handsome boy.

But the temptation of the delicious food, coupled with the sight of Shinichi Kudo and Yuu Aragaki enjoying their meal, made them even more excited.

In the end, they still joined the fray to grab the food.

Even Aragaki Yu discovered...

Even Ran and Shinichi, who are childhood friends, almost got into a fight over the last piece of cola chicken wing.

Later on, even Aragaki Yu, who was the host and used to eating these things in his previous life, couldn't help but join in the scramble for food.

Eating out is definitely more fun with more people.

This is this...

Although the scene was very beautiful.

But it is truly a sin, a sin.

The four of them lay on the chairs for a long time to recover before Sonoko finally spoke, "I really ate too much today! I haven't had such delicious food in a long time."

"Me too."

"No... mistake!"

Shinichi and Ran wholeheartedly agreed, but because they were so full, they managed to utter only a few words.

"Haha, I'm glad you like it," Aragaki Yura said.

No matter who it is, they would be happy if their creations were recognized and liked by others.

"However, after eating such wonderful food today, I'm really worried that anything else will taste bland," Sonoko said with some regret.

"You're exaggerating! But if you have time, you're welcome to come again anytime." Aragaki Yu smiled and politely extended the invitation.

"Okay, I'll definitely come!"

Unexpectedly, the three responded in unison immediately.

Aragaki Yu:? ? ?

Um… I can say.

Am I really just being polite?

Although I don't mind having classmates visit my home.

However, the people he invited were all like the Grim Reaper.

Heh...hehe...

However, at least I am a transmigrator.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be affected by the rules of this world.

"I definitely won't be cursed to death," Yuu Aragaki told himself, trying to reassure himself.

should…
