The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Suppressing her shyness, she asked in confusion, "But why did you think I was a man?"

Aragaki Yu was somewhat helpless, unsure how to answer her question.

You can't exactly explain that you saw the plot in your past life, so you know I'm a crossdresser!

But can anyone explain to me why Asai Narumi, this cross-dresser, becomes a real woman in my eyes?

This is a bit awkward.

Seeing that Asai Narumi was still staring at him, Aragaki Yu had no choice but to shift the blame onto Mouri Kogoro without changing his expression: "It's all Uncle Mouri's fault! He told me from the beginning that he suspected you were a man in disguise!"

(Moori Kogoro:???)

The snow woman on Aragaki Yu couldn't help but cover her ears; she really couldn't stand it anymore.

"So, this is how you verified it?" Asai Narumi glanced down at the spot where Aragaki Yu had just grabbed her, her face slightly flushed.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, Ms. Narumi!" Aragaki Yu bowed deeply and apologized sincerely.

……

With his back bent, Aragaki Yuu waited in vain for Asai Narumi's reply, feeling both doubtful and anxious.

Just as he was about to peek at the situation, he realized that Asai Narumi had stood up at some point and quietly walked to his side.

Yuu Aragaki couldn't guess what she was going to do.

With a strange smile on his face, Asai Narumi gently helped Aragaki Yuu up.

Then, to his astonishment, Asai Narumi placed a hand on Aragaki Yu's face, her fingertips gently tracing his cheek.

She then carefully tidied Aragaki Yu's slightly messy hair, her eyes sparkling, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Little brother, it's okay. Even if you want to do more, I don't mind."

Aragaki Yu:? ? ?

Having never experienced anything like this before, Aragaki Yu was even more afraid to move.

The snow woman stared fiercely at Asai Narumi, like a vicious dog guarding its food.

This woman!!!

What does she want to do to the Onmyoji?

"Hahaha!" Seeing Aragaki Yu completely dumbfounded, Asai Narumi finally couldn't hold back and covered her mouth to laugh. "Little brother! You're so cute!"

"call……"

Upon realizing that Asai Narumi was joking, Aragaki Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his brow and complained, "Narami-san, you...!"

Before Aragaki Yu could finish speaking, Asai Narumi stuck a finger on Aragaki Yu's lips to stop him: "You flirted with me once, and I flirted with you back once, so we're even!"

"Okay... fine." Aragaki Yu rolled his eyes at Asai Narumi, who had suddenly become playful.

Asai Narumi winked at Aragaki Yu: "Hehehe, disappointed? Could it be, little Aragaki, you actually took it seriously?"

"No!"

"If you really want to, I can do it too."

"Please, Ms. Narumi, you must be joking!"

"..."

Yuki-onna couldn't help but stomp her foot on Aragaki Yu's shoulder, looking aggrieved: "Do these two people think they don't exist?!"

(Asai Narumi: Huh? I really don't know.)

On the beach, on the shore, under the moonlight.

As the two bickered, night gradually fell.

……

The next morning, the Tokyo police, contacted by Aragaki Yu, arrived quietly at Tsukikage Island.

Amidst everyone's bewildered gazes, the police unexpectedly discovered a large quantity of drugs in the homes of Kawashima, Kuroiwa, Nishimoto, and the village chief's secretary, Mr. Hirata.

With the evidence secretly provided by Aragaki Yu and Asai Narumi, the group was arrested by the police without any doubt.

Of course, Yuya Aragaki, who had been missing for a night, was questioned by Ran and Conan.

Although he eventually covered it up by claiming that he had witnessed a drug dealer's transaction and was discovered by them during the police report, forcing him to hide for a night.

As for the phone, it ran out of battery and shut down while the person was hiding.

However, Aragaki Yuu did indeed forget about Conan and Ran last night.

His phone had been put on silent before he climbed through the window and sneaked into the room, so he didn't notice the calls from Xiaolan and the others.

Conan: This plot... it feels familiar. All that's missing is knocking her unconscious, giving her the drug, and shrinking her...

Although Conan still had some doubts about what Aragaki Yu said.

Yuu Aragaki, who disappeared last night; Dr. Narumi; Mr. Kawashima, who was found unconscious in the bushes; the drug dealer who was arrested; the invitation letter; the case that happened three years ago…

What is the connection between all of these things?

Lacking crucial information and evidence, Conan racked his brains all night but still couldn't sort out his thoughts.

However, since the information Conan obtained from the police by using Kogoro Mouri's identity was very similar to what Yu Aragaki had described, Conan did not pursue the matter further.

But he was absolutely certain that all of this was closely related to Aragaki Yu, who had disappeared overnight.

……

That afternoon, the group boarded the ferry for their return journey.

The group leaned against the railing, watching Moonshadow Island gradually shrink in their line of sight, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

Conan was still scratching his head, unable to stop thinking about what was wrong with this trip.

Yuu Aragaki glanced at Conan, who was struggling with his thoughts, and knew what he was thinking.

After all, detectives, if they don't solve the mystery, they'd probably all end up in this situation.

Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but chuckle softly, then turned to Conan and said, "Conan, still thinking about the drug trafficking case on the island?"

"Hmm." Conan didn't try to hide anything and nodded hesitantly.

"It's a rare opportunity to travel, so relax a bit!" Yuu Aragaki comforted him. "Besides, Conan, no one died in this case, and the criminals were brought to justice through proper procedures. Isn't that great?"

"Yes, Conan! I think this kind of trip is the best!" Ran, oblivious to everything else, chimed in. "Let's come down next time!"

"Okay, Ran-neechan!" Since he couldn't figure it out, Conan decided to give up and give up.

In the dim light, Aragaki Yu also saw a white figure waving its arms on Moon Shadow Island.

"Yes, let's come again next time!"

Chapter 42 Bandage Monster

"Huh? That's strange. I remember Sonoko's villa is in this area, right?" In a quiet forest, Ran looked at the map in her hand and looked around at the scenery with a puzzled expression.

It turns out that Sonoko was still upset about missing the opportunity to go on a trip with Yuu Aragaki (to Tsukikage Island) again, so she took advantage of her sister's gathering to invite Ran and Yuu Aragaki to her villa for a party.

Conan looked at Ran with an innocent expression and said, "Ran-neechan, have the three of us gotten lost?"

Xiao Lan's face flushed slightly, and she laughed awkwardly, "How could I have taken the wrong road? Maybe...maybe I took a different route."

"I think we just took the wrong turn, we've been walking for so long already." Conan, oblivious to Ran's expression, continued to argue, "Right, right, Aragaki-nii-san!"

Seeing Ran's face gradually turn from red to black, Aragaki Yuuka quickly denied it, saying, "No, no! I don't know the way either, but I don't think I've gone the wrong way."

"What are you talking about! Aragaki-nii-san, it's obvious...it's..."

boom!

Seeing the large tree that had suddenly snapped and fallen to the ground beside him, and Ran's slightly red and steaming fist, Conan swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"What do you mean, Conan?" Ran stared at Conan and asked with a bright smile.

"No! It's nothing! Let's keep going! Sonoko-neechan must be getting impatient!"

……

Fortunately, within two or three minutes, the group found a villa. At this point, Xiaolan finally regained her confidence and said, "See? I told you we didn't go to the wrong place!"

All three of them looked excitedly at the villa across the suspension bridge.

After all, everyone had been walking for quite a while and was eager to take a break.

However, just as the three were about to approach the suspension bridge, Xiaolan suddenly noticed a person dressed in strange clothes on the bridge.

The man, dressed in a black robe and wearing a hood, was walking slowly towards the villa across the suspension bridge with his back to them.

Xiaolan had some doubts: "Was that person also a friend that Sonoko invited?"

But she still called out to the figures on the suspension bridge: "Hey, hello...hello...oh!?"

Upon hearing the sound, the person in the black robe on the bridge turned around, revealing a face covered in bandages. Only a pair of gloomy eyes swept over the group before disappearing in a flash.

In the dim, deep forest, Xiao Lan's enthusiastic greeting abruptly stopped when she suddenly encountered this creature that resembled a haunted house.

She was startled, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly hid behind Conan and Aragaki Yu, stammering, "You...you...did you see that!? There's a ghost!"

"Hmm." Conan watched in shock and confusion as the person disappeared into the forest surrounding the villa.
