"No, I just think that even though Attorney Kisaki is still so young, she looks like a sister to Ran when they stand together." Aragaki Yu smiled shyly. "It's more appropriate to call her 'older sister'!"

"Hahaha!" Eri Kisaki was amused by Yuu Aragaki.

Now, she found Aragaki Yu much more pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the smug Aragaki Yu in front of her and the dumbfounded Ran beside him, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but tease, "Alright, alright, then you can call me older sister, little brother Aragaki. And Ran, you haven't met your Uncle Aragaki yet!"

"Huh!?" Upon hearing Eri's words, Ran's eyes instantly turned into beady pupils.

What, what is all of this?!

How did I suddenly become a generation lower?

"It's alright, let's just talk about our own things! Niece Ran." Of course, Aragaki Yu wouldn't miss out on this kind of fun.

"You two are despicable!" Xiaolan looked at the two shameless guys in front of her, feeling both ashamed and angry!

……

It took a lot of effort to calm Xiaolan down.

On the way back, Ran also introduced Conan, who was staying at the Mouri Detective Agency, to Eri.

Conan stayed hidden behind Ran, not daring to look at Eri Kisaki beside him.

Eri Kisaki naturally noticed this scene as well, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Little friend, you seem to be afraid of me! Where did that imposing aura you had when you pointed me out just now go?"

After saying that, she winked at Conan, clearly quite fond of this quick-witted child.

Conan hid even further back.

He silently rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Of course. When I was little, I played with Xiaolan, and every time you would get furious and scold me and Xiaolan, my body would instinctively want to stay away from you."

Just at this time.

The sound from the television in the nearby shop interrupted Eri Kisaki's attempt to continue speaking.

It turned out that what was being played was a scene from a mystery-solving segment that Kogoro had previously recorded on television.

You know what, Kogoro, dressed in a suit and tie, putting on airs as he performs his mystery act, is actually quite handsome.

However, it didn't last long.

A few seconds later, the TV showed Kogoro flirting with a girl.

The slight ripple in Eri's heart was now completely extinguished.

She snorted coldly, grabbed Xiaolan who was still standing there dumbfounded, and left.

Eri looked at Ran and said angrily, "Ran, you better watch out for your childhood friend, the detective, okay? Try not to see that kid too often!"

Conan, caught in the crossfire, looked helpless.

Unexpectedly, out of the corner of her eye, Eri Kisaki caught a glimpse of Yuu Aragaki, who was silently watching the scene unfold.

Eri's attitude immediately changed. She smiled and looked at Yuu Aragaki, then said to Ran, "Ran, I still think your Uncle Aragaki is much more reliable than your dad and that detective brat! Why don't you..."

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about!" Before Eri could finish speaking, Ran interrupted her, her face flushed.

Conan immediately looked at Aragaki Yu with suspicion.

Aragaki Yu:......

Aragaki Yu, who was quietly observing the situation, was speechless. How did this get dragged into me?

Wait, on me?

Yuu Aragaki stared blankly at his empty shoulders and pockets.

He realized that he seemed to have forgotten about the Snow Woman again.

The Snow Woman won't...

Let's stay at the counter and wait for him to buy ice cream and coffee to take home...

Chapter 57 Gin!

"Please, don't be angry, Yuki-onna."

"Humph!"

The snow woman turned her face away, expressing her unwillingness to see Aragaki Yu's apologetic face.

"I bought you ice cream and coffee, didn't I?" Aragaki Yu gestured to the two bags he was carrying. "They're double portions, too."

"Hmph!" The Snow Woman still didn't even glance at her.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have left you on the counter," Aragaki Yu apologized sincerely.

"Humph!"

"To make up for it, I'll definitely buy you a better and bigger ice cream!" Yuu Aragaki continued.

"snort?!"

Yuu Aragaki immediately noticed the slight wavering in Yuki Onna's cold snort and continued to tempt her, "And it's for tomorrow! Yuki Onna, just think about it, a super deluxe ice cream bigger than you!"

"Humph…"

The Snow Woman's voice was much weaker.

"It's covered with chocolate, strawberries, grapes, candy... a whole bunch of things you like to eat..."

"If you buy it today, I... I'll forgive you!" Before Aragaki Yu could finish describing it, Yuki-onna had already turned her head, her eyes watery, staring at Aragaki Yu expectantly.

……

More than an hour later, it was completely dark.

After visiting countless dessert shops and convenience stores around the area, Aragaki Yu finally returned home, exhausted, with the satisfied Yuki-onna.

Feel the several shopping bags in my hands, big and small, and the wallet in my pocket that has shrunk considerably.

Aragaki Yu was truly on the verge of tears, and could only console himself that this was a case of losing money to avoid further trouble.

creak~

The house was pitch black.

Yuu Aragaki pushed open the door and was about to turn on the living room light.

"Watch out! There's someone else at home, Onmyoji!"

Amidst the snow woman's exclamation, Aragaki Yu felt only a whooshing sound passing by his ear.

It looked like something was attacking.

In a moment of panic, Aragaki Yu also instantly let go of what he was holding and raised his hand to block, only to feel a sharp pain in his arm.

The shadowy figure seemed surprised that Aragaki Yu had reacted so quickly, and was momentarily stunned.

But immediately he slammed his palm down on Aragaki Yu's jaw.

Aragaki Yu felt a sudden tightness in his scalp and quickly turned his head to dodge. Then he kicked out with his own leg, striking the opponent's shin hard.

The other party let out a muffled groan in pain.

Using the force of the kick, Aragaki Yu rolled over and landed to the side.

"Who goes there!" Aragaki Yu, who had just stood up from the ground, shouted at the dark figure that had attacked him.

He shook his slightly numb arm, remaining cautious and wary, while simultaneously stopping the snow woman from reverting to her true form.

The dark figure remained standing at the doorway, making no further moves beyond the attack it had just made.

"Be careful, Onmyoji! There's another guy over there on the sofa! And he has a very familiar scent!" Yuki-onna warned, hovering beside Aragaki Yu.

She was now fully focused, ready to revert to her true form if Aragaki Yu was defeated, even at the risk of being exposed.

Yuya Aragaki was slowly getting used to the dark environment, and with the prompting of the snow woman, he cautiously looked towards the sofa.

"Clap clap clap!"

The figure on the sofa seemed to notice Aragaki Yu's gaze sweeping over, and suddenly started clapping.

Then came a chilling voice: "Not bad, Aragaki Yu!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Aragaki Yu immediately tensed up.

The figure at the door turned on the light switch.

The room was finally lit up.

The next moment, as expected, Gin appeared right in front of Aragaki Yu.

A man with silver hair, dressed in all black, sat leisurely on the sofa, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and looked me up and down with a cold smile on his face.

The dark figure at the door was none other than Vodka, Gin's inseparable driver.

(Vodka: Damn it! I'm an assistant, not a driver!)

He stood expressionless at the door, staring coldly at Aragaki Yu, thus blocking the entrance to the Aragaki family's house.

Upon seeing Gin appear, Aragaki Yu's pupils contracted sharply.

Damn!
