The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

It's still water...the distillery.

Or perhaps a role from the FBI, CIA, or Japanese Public Security Bureau.

If I get involved with them, I'm afraid I won't end up in a good situation.

Yuuki Aragaki wouldn't dare gamble on whether he would time-travel a second time if he died again.

Yu Aragaki tidied up all the odds and ends that he didn't need in the room.

Then I cleaned up the garbage that had accumulated over the past few days.

Then he put all the messy newspapers, documents, and books on the bookshelf.

Yuu Aragaki noticed a beautifully framed photo carefully placed on the edge of the bookshelf.

The photo in the frame shows a beautiful couple holding a baby a few months old in their arms.

Although Aragaki Yu had never seen this photo, he knew very well that it was probably a photo of the original owner of this body with his parents.

He silently took the picture frame off the shelf and stared at it for a long time.

After hesitating for a while, Yuu Aragaki finally gave up the idea of ​​putting the photo frame into the storage box.

Gently wiping away any non-existent dust from the frame's surface, Aragaki Yu gently placed the frame back in its original position.

As expected... I was still significantly influenced by the original owner's memories and thoughts.

Not long after, Yuu Aragaki had finished tidying up the studio on the first floor.

Forehead…

Well, it's not completely cleaned up yet.

As for the sign for the Yin-Yang House at the entrance, Aragaki Yu doesn't yet know what to do with it.

Otherwise, just throw it away.

This plate looks mysterious; I have a bad feeling about it.

Aragaki Yu, who had been squatting by the signboard for more than ten minutes, suddenly reached out and gently touched the three characters "Onmyoji" on the signboard as if possessed.

"Is this what the original parents did?"

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a dazzling pale blue light suddenly appeared on the Yin-Yang House's signboard.

Accompanied by dazzling special effects, a phantom-like blue and white paper floated in front of Aragaki Yuu's eyes.

"This...it looks so much like the talismans from Onmyoji!"

Yuu Aragaki looked at the scene before him and even rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Okay, the scene in front of him hadn't disappeared, and Aragaki Yu was now certain that he wasn't seeing things.

Could it be that I've activated a cheat code after transmigrating?

But then again, if I've even experienced time travel myself, what else could I not understand?

Driven by curiosity, Aragaki tentatively reached out and picked up the talisman floating in front of him.

It seemed both real and unreal, as if it had no weight at all.

But it does have a tactile feel of being held in your hand.

When you let go, this talisman mysteriously floats in mid-air.

Aragaki Yu played with the talisman in his hand, and the more he examined it, the more certain he became that it was indeed a blue ticket from the Onmyoji game.

They are exactly the same in size, color, and pattern.

"Since it's a talisman from Onmyoji, it can't just be a pretty face, right?" Aragaki Yu muttered to himself.

In his previous life, as a loyal player of Onmyoji, Aragaki Yuu didn't become a "Yo-chan" (a term for someone who plays Onmyoji) just to grind the game and earn a living, but because he genuinely loved the game.

In particular, the various shikigami and their stories all captivated Aragaki Yu.

"How about... I give it a try?"

What if we can actually summon it?

If I could have a character like Yaodao-hime or Aoandon, wouldn't my happiness index skyrocket?

"But how do I use this?" Aragaki Yu raised his head, looking at the mysterious talisman in his hand, and pondered for a moment.

He drew the curtains to the room, and Yuu Aragaki let the talisman float in front of him. He then extended a finger and touched the talisman.

The talisman he pointed to emitted tiny points of fluorescence.

"So that's how it is!" Aragaki Yu sighed inwardly, and then began to draw a picture as if he were drawing cards in a game.

"Then how about... we write an SSR?"

As Aragaki Yu's fingertips moved, a deep and mysterious voice resounded from the depths of the void—

Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Zai, Qian, Ji Ji Ru Lu Ling!

As the last stroke of the design on Aragaki Yu's talisman was completed, the talisman shone brightly for a moment.

The pentagram array on the talisman gradually became larger and more prominent. Then, a graceful and slender figure slowly walked out of the array.

"Are you my master?"

Oh, wrong, let's start over.

"How can a heart frozen in ice and snow still beat?"

A cool, clear voice rang in my ears.

Yuu Aragaki felt as if the temperature in the room had dropped several degrees in an instant.

The light before his eyes gradually dimmed, and then a dazzling woman appeared in front of Aragaki Yuu.

She was tall and had snow-white skin.

Her long, blue-white hair, as white as snow on a plateau, flowed around her, reaching down to her waist.

Her eyes, as clear as jewels, revealed glimmers of fireflies, their light icy.

She stepped out of the summoning circle with swaying steps, surrounded by a few crystal-clear snowflakes.

Aragaki Yuu stared in shock at the shikigami before him, a shikigami he knew so well from before his transmigration—

Snow girl!

"I can't believe I actually managed to summon it?!"

But why?

The snow woman I summoned was not quite what I had imagined!

Chapter 3 was...shortened?

Yuu Aragaki looked the snow woman who had emerged from the summoning circle up and down.

It really does look exactly like its appearance in the game.

They looked like elves that had stepped out of the game interface.

But why is it only the size of a palm?

Could it be that she's malnourished and...shrunken?

However, this exquisitely chibi-style snow woman does appear petite, delicate, and uniquely adorable.

Looking at the snow woman in front of him, who resembled a little elf, Aragaki Yu felt a little regretful.

If it becomes a normal size, it might even have a chance to explore whether shikigami and humans belong to the same egg group.

Pooh.

It's probably using a pirated version of the Onmyoji game!

……

Aragaki Yu: Staring...

Yuki-onna: (//?//)

Aragaki Yu: Keep watching...

Snow Girl: (ー_ー)!!

Aragaki Yu: Still keeping an eye on it...

Yuki-onna: (*￣m￣)

"Onmyoji-sama!"

The Yuki-onna, who had just been summoned, was quietly floating above the signboard of the Aragaki Clan's Yin-Yang House, curiously observing her surroundings.

After so much time had passed, he finally couldn't help but speak up and remind Aragaki Yu, who was still staring at him blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

Even though I, the Onmyoji, am very handsome, I can't just stare at girls like that!

lecher!
