The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Gin, why are you suddenly interested in this little guy?" Chifuyu Orimura suddenly interjected.

Gin paused on the other end of the phone, clearly not expecting her to ask that question: "Don't meddle in things that aren't your business."

"Boring!" Chifuyu Orimura was clearly dissatisfied with Gin's answer.

There was a moment of silence on the phone, then the call was disconnected after the last sentence was spoken.

"Know your place, Vermouth!"

"Hehe, things seem to be getting interesting."

Chifuyu Orimura walked into a secluded corner, tore off the disguise from her face, and revealed her true appearance—

Belmode.

"As expected! Pretending to be someone close to you is the most difficult thing, no matter how much you investigate," Vermouth muttered to herself.

However, at the same time, she also thought of the little guy, Yuu Aragaki, again.

……

boom!

With the roar of an engine, a woman wearing a helmet and a leather jacket sped out from the corner on a motorcycle.

Go ahead and go.

Chapter 52 My New...Boyfriend?!

“Welcome~”

Pushing open the door, Aragaki Yu entered the coffee shop amidst the enthusiastic greetings of the waiter.

"Hey, Conan! What a coincidence, why are you all alone here?" As soon as he entered, Yuu Aragaki noticed Conan looking around in the seat next to him.

Conan, on the other hand, immediately went on high alert upon seeing Aragaki Yu. He looked at Aragaki Yu with suspicion and asked, "Aragaki-nii-san? What brings you here!"

"Of course, we come to a coffee shop to drink coffee."

Yuu Aragaki didn't quite understand why Conan had that expression on his face.

Looking at myself is like looking at the enemy who killed my father.

"Didn't you arrange to go with anyone?" Conan pressed.

"Is there a problem with one person, Conan?"

"Of course... no problem! It's been so long, Aragaki-nii-san!"

Upon learning that Aragaki Yu wasn't at the coffee shop to meet anyone, Conan visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and his attitude towards Aragaki Yu softened.

"Long time no see?" Aragaki Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Didn't we just see each other two days ago?"

However, knowing that he had absolutely no idea about time in the world of Detective Conan, Aragaki Yu wisely chose not to dwell on the issue.

"Conan, what happened?" Aragaki asked curiously.

To comfort the snow woman who was frightened by her cousin the day before, Yuu Aragaki decided to bring her to this cafe to try their famous ice cream coffee.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Conan here.

"Wait, speaking of which, where's the Snow Woman?"

When recalling why he came, Yuu Aragaki noticed that the snow woman who had been on his shoulder since he entered had suddenly disappeared.

He looked around the coffee shop somewhat blankly before turning to the counter with a look of utter exasperation.

It turned out that the Snow Woman was currently leaning on the counter, staring at the ice cream and coffee in the glass case while drooling.

Conan, standing to the side, naturally had no idea what Aragaki Yu was looking at.

After weighing the options in his mind, he pulled Aragaki Yuu to a seat, leaned down and whispered the reason for the matter in his ear.

It turns out, it happened this morning.

While Conan was reading a novel at the Mouri Detective Agency, he noticed that Ran was actually dressing up carefully.

She not only changed into youthful and beautiful clothes, but also put on exquisite makeup.

He seemed to be in a very joyful and happy mood.

However, Conan clearly remembered that Ran had told him last night that she would stay home all day and didn't want to go out.

Seeing Ran sneaking off to go out, Conan couldn't contain his curiosity and went up to ask, "Ran-neechan, are you going to see a movie? I want to come with you!"

Ran was startled by Conan's sudden appearance and could only explain, "Shh! Conan, I'm going on a date!"

"A date!?" Conan seemed a little surprised.

"That's right, I'm going on a date with Shinichi."

Conan scratched his head, then suddenly realized, "So it's a date with Shinichi-nii!"

"Yes, if Dad finds out I went on a date with Shinichi, he'll be furious. Don't tell him!" Ran whispered to Conan.

"Okay, Ran-neechan! Be careful on your way home." Conan waved goodbye to Ran.

Watching Ran's departing figure, Conan couldn't help but feel secretly delighted: "So Ran dressed up so beautifully and seemed so happy just to go on a date with me!"

That's great, Xiaolan wants to be with me...

???

Go on a date with me!!!

"How could this happen?!" Conan, who was immersed in joy, suddenly realized.

At first, Conan pretended not to care and lay on the sofa, sulking: "What does it matter to me who Ran goes on a date with?"

But less than three seconds later, Conan still chose to go out and follow Ran, chasing her all the way to the coffee shop.

……

In the coffee shop, Ran looked at Conan helplessly and said, "Didn't I tell you I was going on a date? Why did you still come along, Conan?"

Conan explained with a big smile, "I want to see Shinichi too! Shinichi is so slow, when will he come?"

Ran realized she couldn't hide it any longer, so she smiled and confessed, "To be honest, it's not Shinichi who's here today."

Conan turned his head and asked, feigning curiosity, "So who came today? Why did you lie to him when you met him?"

Ran turned to look at Conan with a peculiar smile on her face and said, "She's a very important person to me, you know?"

"Ah!" Conan was stunned for a moment, looking a little flustered: "More, more important than Shinichi-nii-san?"

Ran glanced at Conan in surprise, then smiled, a slight blush on her face: "Silly boy, how can those two be compared! Okay, okay, that's enough, why don't you go home, Conan!"

Conan was clearly jealous. He turned his head to one side and said with a hint of resentment, "But I don't want to go home yet!"

"Oh! By the way, you like cake, don't you, Conan? I'll go buy you a cake right now. Once you have the cake, you have to go home obediently, okay?" With that, Ran walked out of the coffee shop with a smile before Conan could refuse.

Conan watched Ran leave, narrowed his eyes, and vowed, "It's no use, Ran. I'll use my observation and insight to see just what kind of superhuman person you met this time!"

Conan sat down and looked around, observing the customers in the store. He thought to himself, "Hehe, because there's only one truth! Just wait and see!"

Just then, Yuu Aragaki walked into the coffee shop.

He's handsome, kind, honest, and capable, and he's been getting very close to Xiaolan lately. It all seems suspicious.

Therefore, Conan naturally mistook Aragaki Yu for Ran's date.

When recounting the whole story, Conan deliberately omitted the part about himself being Shinichi.

Yuu Aragaki looked at Conan with a mischievous smile: "See? You still say you're not a siscon! Ran's going on a date and you're already this nervous!"

Conan was somewhat helpless. He had no way of explaining that he was Shinichi Kudo, so he could only turn his head away, leaving Aragaki Yu with the back of his head, not wanting to pay any attention to this guy.

But not long after, Conan turned around again and couldn't help but ask softly, "Brother Aragaki, who exactly is Ran-neechan going to see?"

Yuu Aragaki paused, thought for a while, and vaguely remembered this matter.

Ran's date this time seems to be with her mother, Eri Kisaki.

But he wouldn't explain any of this to Conan; instead, he was in a playful mood.

Seeing Conan's nervous expression, Yuu Aragaki went along with the excuse Conan had made up earlier and said confidently, "If you say Shinichi can't come because he's busy, then it's probably Ran's new boyfriend!"

"My new boyfriend!"

Boy friend!?

Upon hearing these words, Conan froze in shock.

Distracted and flustered, he naturally failed to notice the humor in Aragaki Yu's words.

"Damn it!" Conan was extremely jealous. He gritted his teeth and looked around again. "What is that thing? Come out now!"

Chapter 53 Fei Yingli

Just as Conan was watching intently, several customers walked into the coffee shop one after another.

They were both young women who ordered a cup of coffee and had a rude attitude.

A college student found a quiet seat to work on his thesis.
