The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Although it's nice to be cared for and looked after, Aragaki Yuu really has no problems.

But these guys are all looking at me like I'm a patient.

They're practically serving tea and water.

After hastily saying goodbye to Ran and Sonoko, who were going to participate in club activities, Aragaki Yu ran away from the school.

"This is so embarrassing!"

……

"Onmyoji, are you really alright?"

Back home, Yuki-onna sat on the edge of the dining table, watching Aragaki Yu start to get busy. Thinking about how uncomfortable the Onmyoji had seemed at school earlier that day, she was still a little worried.

"Of course it's fine!" Aragaki Yuu glanced at Yuki-onna with annoyance.

If it weren't for your and Xiaolan's overly enthusiastic behavior, would you have ended up like that?

I can't exactly tell them that I just can't tell dates apart.

"But..." Yuki-onna was about to say something when Aragaki Yu suddenly pulled a sundae ice cream from the refrigerator, stuffed it into Yuki-onna's arms, and sealed her mouth shut.

"Wow, this is delicious~" Upon receiving the sundae, the Yuki-onna immediately forgot to continue her previous conversation.

What Onmyoji? Nothing is more important than ice cream.

Ignoring the snow woman on the table, Aragaki Yu tied on an apron, took the ingredients he had sorted out from the refrigerator, and headed to the kitchen.

Since I wasn't in a good mood, I could only try to soothe my stomach.

……

Ding dong ~ ding dong ~

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Yuu Aragaki was very puzzled: "Who would be knocking on my door at this time?"

He came to the entrance and clicked open the door.

Upon seeing the person standing outside the door, Aragaki Yu was momentarily stunned.

Chapter 50 Cousin

Looking at the tall, elegant woman at the door, Aragaki Yu subconsciously blurted out, "Orimura... Chifuyu?"

The woman named Chifuyu Orimura visibly paused for a moment after hearing Yuu Aragaki call out her name.

Her delicate features furrowed slightly as she raised her right hand and gathered her loose hair behind her shoulder.

Her expression and actions, combined with her mature and dignified demeanor, left Aragaki Yu somewhat lost in thought.

Snapped!

Just as Aragaki Yu wasn't paying attention, Orimura Chifuyu, who was fixing her hair, slapped Aragaki Yu's forehead with her hand.

"You should call her 'cousin'!"

Her voice was melodious and clear, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"Cousin...cousin!" Aragaki Yu quickly apologized, snapping out of his daze.

At this moment, the Yuki-onna, who was already sitting on Aragaki Yu's shoulders, looked at the beautiful woman in front of her and exclaimed inwardly, "Cousin?"

Chifuyu Orimura looked at Yuu Aragaki with some suspicion and said, "Are you just going to block the door like this without inviting me in?"

"How...how could this be! Cousin, please come in." Aragaki Yu quickly stepped aside and welcomed Orimura Chifuyu inside.

At the same time, he became extremely vigilant, frantically recalling information about his cousin, afraid of revealing something in front of her.

but…

Yuya Aragaki also discovered this with great helplessness, not knowing if it was because the original owner of this body didn't often have contact with this cousin.

His mind is completely blank right now; he can't remember anything at all!

I wonder what brings my cousin here this time.

It caught me off guard.

Thinking of this, Aragaki Yu subconsciously glanced at Orimura Chifuyu beside him.

Chifuyu Orimura clearly noticed the glance that Yuu Aragaki was giving her.

Although he didn't show it on the surface, he was still a little stunned inside.

Chifuyu Orimura entered the house without any restraint and sat down on the sofa. Her gaze then fell unabashedly on Yuu Aragaki, who was standing to the side.

They didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

Feeling a little uneasy under Chifuyu Orimura's gaze, Yuu Aragaki took a few steps to the refrigerator and used the open door to block her view: "Cousin, would you like something to drink? Tea, or juice? Coffee is fine too."

Chifuyu Orimura clearly hadn't anticipated Yuu Aragaki's question. After hesitating for a moment, she surprisingly offered Yuu an option she hadn't provided: "Beer?"

Aragaki Yu paused slightly as he picked out drinks, and said with a wry smile, "Cousin, I'm still a minor, there's no beer here."

Chifuyu Orimura didn't say much, casually choosing one: "Then tea it is!"

“Okay!” Yu took the barley tea out of the refrigerator, handed it to Chifuyu Orimura, and then sat down on the other side of the sofa.

He had barely sat down when Chifuyu Orimura spoke up, "Why do I feel like you and I have suddenly become much more distant?"

Yuu Aragaki didn't rush to answer; instead, he pondered the question in his mind for a moment.

Although he has taken over the original body and has the original's memories, it is impossible for him to behave like the original in his daily life.

Not to mention, Chifuyu Orimura is very familiar with the original owner's aloof personality. With just a little investigation, she would know that her current performance at Teitan High School is very different from that of the original owner.

Since we can't fake it, there's no need to make a fool of ourselves by pretending.

Aragaki Yu moved a little closer to Orimura Chifuyu, and suddenly stopped avoiding her gaze. Instead, he turned his head and looked into his cousin's eyes.

You know what, Yuu Aragaki suddenly discovered that her eyes were extremely beautiful.

Profound and captivating.

After gathering his emotions, Aragaki Yu slowly said, "Perhaps I sensed something was different."

He shook his head, as if he felt deeply saddened.

Upon hearing Aragaki Yu's words, Orimura Chifuyu suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and awkwardly looked away.

Unfortunately, Aragaki Yu, engrossed in his own performance, failed to notice the fleeting hint of guilt in her eyes.

"Ahem, what do you mean?" Chifuyu Orimura subtly adjusted her emotions before pretending to be nonchalant and asking.

"It was probably because of my parents' accident. During those days, I was really heartbroken and thought about a lot of things."

Gradually, Aragaki Yu's expression began to turn melancholy.

"Only now do I realize that my past actions must have caused my parents a lot of worry. I think their spirits in heaven would not want me to continue like this. So I hope to change myself and become a different person to comfort my parents."

Noticing Aragaki Yuna's sad expression, Orimura Chifuyu was momentarily speechless.

She gently stroked Aragaki Yu's head, gazing absently at his sorrowful, downcast eyes.

And so, time passed by, minute by minute.

Chifuyu Orimura still looked lost in thought.

However, Yuu Aragaki was about to break down, even though he had indeed shown some genuine emotion before.

But I can't be sad for that long!

Aragaki Yu looked helplessly at Orimura Chifuyu, who was still staring at him. He couldn't help but cough twice to remind his cousin.

Chifuyu Orimura seemed to snap out of Aragaki Yu's somber mood, hurriedly turning her head to the side and pretending to look around at the decor.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That was close, I almost couldn't hold back."

Just then, Chifuyu Orimura happened to see the dishes that Yuu Aragaki had just prepared on the table, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Yuu, did you make this?"

Yuu Aragaki nodded, not bothering to hide it anymore. Since it had already been seen, there was no point in concealing it.

I live alone, and as for takeout, anyone who pays a little attention will find that there are absolutely no such restaurants nearby.

"Cousin, since you're here, let's have dinner together at home!" Aragaki Yu said, standing up and walking towards the dining table as he invited his cousin.

He was originally planning to comfort his stomach, so he prepared a generous amount of food this time.

It's more than enough for two people.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Let's take this opportunity to properly appreciate your cooking skills, Yu!" Chifuyu Orimura didn't stand on ceremony either. After approaching the table and smelling the tempting aroma of the dishes, she gladly accepted Yu's invitation.

She naturally sat down in the chair that Aragaki Yu had pulled out for her and accepted the bowl and chopsticks he handed her.

After waiting for Yuya Aragaki to sit down, she picked up some food without hesitation and slowly put it into her mouth.

First, he chewed it carefully for a couple of seconds, and then his eyes lit up.

how to say……

That's quite surprising!

Chifuyu Orimura glanced at Yuu Aragaki in surprise, and then showered him with compliments.
