The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

As Yuu Aragaki walked home, he looked at the text message on his phone, a hint of helplessness in his expression.

[Little brother, this is my number~ Remember to call me! I also want to see that girl you mentioned who looks a bit like me! (^_^) — Masami Hirota]

"That's just an excuse for him to strike up a conversation with you and confirm your identity. Where am I supposed to find a girl who looks like you?"

"Wait, there really is one." As he walked, Yuu Aragaki suddenly remembered a girl with short brown hair.

But then he shook his head with a wry smile: "What are you thinking? I can't exactly introduce you to your sister!"

(Akami Miyano: Little brother Aragaki, what a coincidence! I'd also like to introduce you to her, the kind of girl who can hold a baby.)

Chapter 66 The Witch's Invitation

At his doorstep, Aragaki Yu was about to open the door when he was stopped by Yuki-onna.

"Onmyoji, someone's home!" Yuki-onna reminded him with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, sitting on Aragaki Yu's shoulder, swaying...

After the previous unexpected visit by Gin and Vodka.

Both Aragaki Yu and Yuki-onna have undoubtedly become much more cautious.

"Could it be Gin again?" Aragaki Yu wondered with suspicion.

He shrugged helplessly.

Do people nowadays like to visit when the host is not at home?

He hesitated for a moment, then instead of opening the door and entering, he went around to the backyard and tiptoed through the window into a small room.

It was true that I was going back to my own home, but it felt like I was doing something wrong.

"Yuki-onna, go to the living room and see what kind of guy it is this time!" Yutaka Aragaki instructed Yuki-onna to go to the living room and scout ahead.

Unexpectedly, streaks of light suddenly appeared on the walls around him, crisscrossing and outlining a magic array pattern.

Then, Yuu Aragaki suddenly felt the world spinning around him.

My vision gradually blurred.

"Damn it, we've been ambushed!"

As the magic circle in the room emitted a blinding light, Aragaki Yu gradually disappeared from the spot.

……

Yuu Aragaki shook his head, trying to shake off the nausea that felt like a hangover.

"Where is this?!"

This appears to be an interior corridor of some building, and the surroundings are rather eerie.

A musty, decaying smell wafted over, as if one could sense countless ghosts wailing there, sending chills down one's spine.

Fortunately, the Snow Woman and the Demon Sword Princess were still on her body at this moment.

At the last moment before Aragaki Yu was teleported away by the magic circle, both Yuki-onna and Yoto-hime crawled into Aragaki Yu's pocket.

He shook the unconscious Yuki-onna and Yoto-hime out of his pocket.

Summoning his courage, Aragaki Yu groped his way forward through the castle's long corridors.

The further he went in, the more eerie the surroundings became.

In the deep darkness, only a few faint candlelight flickered on the walls.

Every now and then, faint rays of light would slowly drift across the stone wall, making the surrounding environment even more mysterious and eerie.

Before long, the corridor finally came to an end, and in front of it appeared a spacious hall.

Unlike the eerie corridor.

The lobby is decorated with extreme luxury and mystery.

At the very top of the hall stood a chair that resembled a throne.

At that moment, a figure was sitting lazily on it, propping her cheek with one hand, silently watching Aragaki Yu walk out of the corridor.

"Magician?"

When Aragaki Yu saw the figure on the chair, he immediately recognized her.

—Akako Koizumi!

What's most eye-catching is her witch outfit.

She wore a red and black top that only covered her vital parts, revealing a lot of her fair skin, with a dark red cape draped over her shoulders. Her lower body was also covered by red and black tight leather pants, paired with black high-heeled over-the-knee boots.

It appeared exceptionally alluring and mysterious.

Her burgundy hair cascaded down her shoulders, falling casually over her smooth skin, creating a striking contrast.

Her complexion was like jade, her features were exquisite, and every single detail was perfectly proportioned.

Upon closer inspection, her high-bridged nose, captivating eyes, cherry-like lips, and slightly upturned corners exude an innate elegance and charm.

Adorned with a magnificent snake-hair crown and luxurious gold jewelry, she possesses both the noble purity of a princess and the alluring licentiousness of a succubus.

It evokes a desire to conquer from the bottom of one's heart.

"You don't seem very surprised." She looked at Aragaki Yu, who was staring at her without any hesitation, with a lazy expression that was neither a smile nor a frown.

"What is your purpose in kidnapping me here?" Aragaki Yu asked warily, suppressing the unnatural heat in his heart.

“Kidnapping?” Koizumi Akako retorted. “It’s clearly an invitation, an invitation from a witch.”

"You just invited people to a place like this without saying a word?" Aragaki Yu was still somewhat resentful about being tricked like this.

Unexpectedly, it was Koizumi Akako, who was seated, who seemed somewhat surprised: "Without saying a word? Didn't I leave an invitation?"

"Invitation card?"

Seeing that Aragaki Yu's puzzled expression seemed genuine, Koizumi Akako explained, "Didn't the invitation I left in the living room say that if you're willing to accept an invitation from a witch, you should enter the small room I marked before midnight tonight, and the power of magic will bring you to see me..."

A bewildered Aragaki Yu: ...

The Snow Woman and the Demon Sword Princess, on high alert: ...

"Hehehe..." Aragaki Yu laughed awkwardly.

I really haven't seen it.

Even the witch in front of him probably never imagined that he, as the homeowner, would not use the front door, but instead sneak into that room through the window like a thief.

Koizumi Akako noticed Aragaki Yu's unnatural expression and guessed what his "little mistake" was, so she covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"So, Miss Witch, is there something you want to ask me to come here for?" Aragaki Yuu straightened his expression and got back to the point.

Koizumi Akako stopped smiling, stood up from her seat, and gracefully introduced herself with a bow: "I am Koizumi Akako, the successor of the Red Magic. Greetings."

"Yuu Aragaki." Yuu Aragaki also introduced himself. "Hello, witch."

"Please don't call me a witch. You can call me Akako." Koizumi Akako smiled and looked into Aragaki Yu's eyes. "Or, you can call me, Akako-sama..."

As she spoke, a strange light flickered in Koizumi Akako's eyes.

“Akako… Big…” Just as Aragaki Yu was about to lose himself in staring into Akako’s eyes and his mind was in a daze, a cold snort from Yuki-onna beside him startled him back to reality.

Upon regaining consciousness, Aragaki Yu was drenched in a cold sweat and quickly averted his gaze.

I almost fell into the witch's trap without even realizing it.

Koizumi Akako let out a soft "hmm," her gaze towards Aragaki Yu filled with even more curiosity.

Aragaki Yu's face darkened, and he retorted sarcastically, "Miss Witch, is this how you treat invited guests?"

"Hahahaha~"

Koizumi Akako, whose little trick had been seen through, did not seem embarrassed. Instead, she chuckled twice, sat back in her chair, and crossed her legs.

Yuu Aragaki had to admit that the witch in front of him possessed an extraordinary charm no matter what she did.

"Please sit down too!" With a wave of Koizumi Akako's hand, a chair suddenly appeared out of thin air next to Aragaki Yu.

Without any hesitation, Aragaki Yu sat down directly.

Koizumi Akako waved her hand again, and the next second, a steaming cup of black tea appeared beside Aragaki Yu.

Yuu Aragaki, on the contrary, did not doubt anything about this scene.

After all, Koizumi Akako, being a witch, wouldn't stoop to poisoning tea.

A slightly parched Aragaki Yu didn't stand on ceremony and directly took a sip of the black tea in his cup.

Aragaki Yu raised an eyebrow, inwardly remarking, "Hmm, this tea tastes quite good."

And the moment the black tea entered his mouth, he was surprised to find that all the discomfort he had felt from the teleportation had disappeared.

Koizumi Akako was clearly pleased that Aragaki Yugo drank the black tea she had prepared without any suspicion.

It was worth it to brew the tea myself.

Koizumi Akako quietly watched Aragaki Yu sip his tea, without making a sound to disturb him.

Only after Aragaki Yu put down his teacup and looked at her again did she narrow her eyes and speak softly, "Aragaki Yu, you're very interesting. Can you tell me why you have a scent that doesn't belong to this world?"
