The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"..."

"If I were to have a baby, should I want a boy or a girl? I can't take it, I'm so shy!"

Chapter 22-Awakening

"Snow Girl."

……

"Yuki-onna?"

……

"Snow Woman! What are you thinking about?"

"Huh?...Ah! I, I'm here! Onmyoji-sama." The Yuki-onna, who had to be called several times by Aragaki Yu to come back to her senses, lowered her head and dared not look at Aragaki Yu, and could only answer softly.

Yuu Aragaki looked at the Yuki-onna in front of him with a rather strange expression, somewhat bewildered.

I don't know what she was thinking, she was actually a little dazed.

However, Yuya Aragaki assumed that she was just too tired from playing all day, which was why she seemed a little slow to react.

"Are you tired? Yuki-onna, you've really had a hard day! You spent the whole day playing outside with me." Aragaki Yu gently patted Yuki-onna's head and asked with concern.

"No, I'm not tired at all! Onmyoji, I'm having a lot of fun!" Yuki-onna quickly shook her head in response.

At this moment, Yuki-onna and Aragaki Yuu were sitting face-to-face on the bed.

Adding to the fact that she was being watched by Yuu Aragaki with such concern and eagerness, she felt incredibly shy.

She felt like she couldn't sit or stand comfortably.

A pair of restless little hands nervously wandered off, unsure of what to do.

To ease the awkward atmosphere, the Snow Woman asked somewhat flusteredly, "Onmyoji, did you ask me to come... to the room? Is there something you need?"

She secretly glanced up at Aragaki Yu's expression, afraid that she might say something too hurtful to her.

But when she looked up and her eyes met Aragaki Yu's, she shyly lowered her head again.

"Ah! I almost forgot, Yuki-onna!"

Although I don't know why the Snow Woman is making such a strange expression.

But after being reminded by the snow woman, Yuu Aragaki remembered his real business.

He cleared his throat and said to the Snow Woman in a serious tone, "I have something very important to tell you, Snow Woman."

"Hmm." The Snow Woman sat up straight.

"I have a big treasure that I need to show you!"

"Ah!" Yuki-onna, who thought Aragaki Yu was about to say something, suddenly paused.

But soon her cheeks turned bright red, as if she had made a connection to something.

For a moment, I felt a mixture of embarrassment and nervousness.

The snow woman stammered, "Onmyoji! You're talking nonsense... what are you saying! Could it be... you're just looking?!"

"Huh?" Aragaki Yu was also completely bewildered. He suddenly couldn't understand what the snow woman was saying.

What the Snow Woman said and what I said,

Is it really a matter?

Seeing the puzzled look on Aragaki Yu's face, Yuki-onna realized that she had probably misunderstood him.

Her face turned even redder.

Her flushed cheeks were as hot as boiling water.

Fortunately, the room was dimly lit, and Aragaki Yuuki could see the snow woman's blushing face.

"I, I mean, what kind of treasure are you talking about, Onmyoji?" Yuki-onna quickly added as a makeshift solution.

"Watch closely!" Aragaki Yu didn't think much of it and stretched out his hand.

Aragaki Yu's outstretched hand was empty.

The snow woman was somewhat puzzled and didn't quite understand what he meant.

Just as the Snow Woman was about to ask a question, a faint blue light gradually emanated from Aragaki Yu's palm.

Accompanied by flashing blue light, a mysterious Yin-Yang array slowly appeared in Aragaki Yu's palm.

Then a round, chubby, roly-poly-like strange thing emerged from the Yin-Yang Array.

The roly-poly toy looks rather silly and cute.

The thick, dark eyebrows are drawn in the shape of a crane, symbolizing good fortune.

The turtle element on the cheek symbolizes longevity.

The beard part uses "cedar tree" to express the meaning of peace.

Her big, round eyes were quite eye-catching.

"Dharma!" At this moment, the Snow Woman immediately recognized the creature's identity.

It was just now.

The kidnapping took place in the warehouse, when the police arrived and took the kidnappers away.

No one noticed that Yuu Aragaki, who was standing to the side, suddenly stood there in a daze for two or three seconds.

It was simply because a piece of information inexplicably surfaced in his mind.

The whole process was hazy and not very clear.

It even made Aragaki Yu think that he was hallucinating.

That's why he couldn't wait to rush home to confirm.

But it really is true.

Aragaki Yuu unexpectedly unlocked his Onmyoji talent today.

Finally, it's no longer just about nursing and raising babies.

(Yuki-onna: ???)

Although he had acquired the Onmyoji talent.

It's not like characters from previous games such as Seimei, Kagura, or Yaobikini.

It can make Yin-Yang magic fly everywhere.

Instead, one can obtain a portion of spiritual power through the shikigami they have contracted.

Although the spiritual power derived from this cannot be used directly in any Yin-Yang techniques, it can strengthen one's physical constitution and mental strength.

In other words, it can run faster.

Jump higher.

See further.

The worse the beating, the better.

Mental strength includes, but is not limited to, thinking ability, memory ability, calculation ability, and so on.

At the same time, and more importantly, Aragaki Yuu can open his own Yin-Yang Domain by using his spiritual power.

The Yin-Yang Domain is a small space exclusively for the Onmyoji, which allows them to carry their own Shikigami with them.

This has a very special and important role for Onmyoji.

Without the Yin-Yang Domain, it wouldn't be a big problem for an Onmyoji like Aragaki Yu, who currently only has one shikigami, Yuki Onna.

However, if it is an Onmyoji who has a large number of shikigami.

Even if those shikigami are in a state of good fortune that is invisible to ordinary people.

They must also be struggling with how to take them out.

I don't feel comfortable leaving them at home, so I bring them all with me. Aside from taking up space, what if the shikigami get bored and start having a tea party?

That would be so noisy!

Moreover, the Yin-Yang Realm possesses a richer spiritual energy, allowing shikigami to grow and train more efficiently within it.

Or, for shikigami whose spiritual energy has been exhausted, returning to the Onmyoji's Onmyo Domain can help them recover their condition more quickly.

Not to mention, although ordinary items cannot be stored in the Yin-Yang Domain of an Onmyoji, some special items with spiritual power can still be stored there.

Such as some magical artifacts, talismans, and so on, and for example, the Daruma that appears in Aragaki Yu's hand at this moment.

This Bodhidharma appeared on Aragaki Yuu's body along with the Yin-Yang Domain when the kidnappers were taken away.

I don't know why this thing appeared.

However, Yuya Aragaki probably made a guess.

Because it's impossible that I just happened to wake up at this time.
