The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Hehe, I've never seen one before in all my life! Oh right, Aragaki Yu, if you really catch a ghost this time, remember to send it over so I can broaden my horizons too."

"Okay, Akako, so do you know how to catch ghosts?" Unable to get the answer he wanted, Aragaki Yu had no choice but to change his question.

Koizumi Akako: ...

She was truly defeated by Aragaki Yu this time.

"You even have to ask me this?"

"Um..." Aragaki Yu's voice finally sounded a little embarrassed.

"A demon-revealing mirror? A peach wood sword?" Koizumi Akako racked her brains for any impressions she had of ghost-catching, but all she could think of were methods she'd seen on television programs.

"No."

"Drawing talismans? Reciting scriptures?" Koizumi Akako recalled a Taoist priest's method of exorcising ghosts in a movie.

"will not."

……

"No, that's impossible! Yuu Aragaki, why don't you just send your men, the one with the knife and the one who blows the air conditioner, to do it all?" Koizumi Akako seemed a little exasperated after hearing Yuu Aragaki's reply.

"They don't dare."

Koizumi Akako: "$&|JPY^#..."

What happened to your courage when you hit me?

She suddenly felt powerless to complain and just wanted to curse.

"Miss Hongzi, what... should I do?"

The annoying voice of Aragaki Yu came through the communication crystal again.

Koizumi Akako said helplessly, "I advise you to close down as soon as possible!"

Aragaki Yu:......

"Alright then, I'll think of something myself. Sorry to disturb your rest, Ms. Akako!" Aragaki Yu said dejectedly.

He seemed somewhat disappointed that he hadn't obtained any useful information from Koizumi Akako.

What should we do now?

Just as Aragaki Yu was about to hang up the communication crystal.

But from the other side came a sigh from Koizumi Akako.

"Sigh... Fine, I'm really fed up with you. You two agreed to meet tomorrow morning, right? I'll come and check it out then too."

Koizumi Akako didn't know what was wrong with her, but when she heard Aragaki Yu's disappointed voice, she couldn't help but soften her heart and even offered to help.

"Huh!? Miss Akako, you said you were coming to help?" Aragaki Yu was a little doubtful that he had misheard.

"If you don't need it, then forget it..."

"No, of course we need it! Ms. Akako, thank you so much! See you tomorrow!" Aragaki Yu said excitedly.

"That's settled then. Staying up late is a big no-no for women. Bye..." Koizumi Akako's voice reverted to its initial impatient tone.

"Wait!" Aragaki Yu suddenly thought of something very important.

"Hmm?" Koizumi Akako was a little puzzled, wondering if Aragaki Yu had any other questions.

"Miss Hongzi, what day of the week is tomorrow?"

"..."

The communication crystal was disconnected.

Chapter 77 New Uses of Shikigami

"Hey, weren't you going to catch ghosts? Why aren't you up yet!"

"Hmm?" Yuu Aragaki, who was still half asleep, struggled to stick half of his body out of the covers, fumbled for his phone on the bedside table, and then squinted at the time displayed on the screen.

Ha ha……

7:00 in the morning

"It's only seven o'clock, isn't it? Stop messing around, Hongzi. Let me sleep a little longer."

Yuu Aragaki murmured in response, while naturally shrinking further into the blankets, preparing to return to his sweet dream.

【etc! 】

Just as Aragaki Yuu was snuggled back into bed, his eyes suddenly widened as he realized something was wrong.

Who was speaking just now? Did I call someone's name again?

He looked up with a puzzled expression at the person who had just spoken.

Looking around, he saw Koizumi Akako leaning against her bedroom door, urging him on with a look of disgust.

"You, what are you doing here!?"

Yuu Aragaki was startled by Koizumi Akako's sudden appearance in his house and jumped out of bed in a panic.

He instinctively covered his private parts, only to realize that thankfully he didn't have the habit of sleeping naked, at least he was wearing his home pajamas.

"Didn't you beg me to help you?" Koizumi Akako rolled her eyes at Aragaki Yu, reminding him of her purpose.

"No, what I mean is, how did you end up in my house?" Finding there was nothing to hide from, Aragaki Yu also stretched out his hand and pointed at Koizumi Akako.

“Of course it was teleported here!” Koizumi Akako said matter-of-factly.

"No, is this how you just barge into someone's house without a word?"

"Fine, since you don't welcome me, I'll just leave."

Koizumi Akako waved her hand, and the space around her began to distort, making it appear as if she was about to step into it and leave at any moment.

"No, how could I not welcome you, Miss Akako! It was my fault, okay!"

Upon hearing that Koizumi Akako was leaving, Aragaki Yu finally relented and stopped dwelling on the matter of Koizumi Akako's unannounced visit.

"Good boy." Koizumi Akako smiled at Aragaki Yu and continued, "Then why don't you get up quickly? As the host, not only are you not entertaining me, but how long are you going to make me wait like this?"

"Yes, Miss Hongzi, I'll get up right away!"

"Also, I haven't had breakfast yet, remember to prepare one for me too."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of Aragaki Yu's room.

“Okay…” Aragaki Yu replied through gritted teeth as he watched Koizumi Akako’s departing figure.

However, considering that he would have to trouble Koizumi Akako with the matter that Okino Yoko had asked him to do later, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Damn it! Next time, I'll make you pay!" he swore viciously.

"What did you say?" Koizumi Akako's voice came from outside again.

"I was asking you what you'd like for breakfast so I can prepare it."

……

After half an hour.

At the dining table, Koizumi Akako savored the freshly cooked breakfast and exclaimed sincerely, "Aragaki Yu, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook! I think you would have a better future as a chef than as an Onmyoji."

"Eating won't shut you up!" Aragaki Yu said irritably, placing a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) on ​​Koizumi Akako's plate.

"Hmm, not bad!" Koizumi Akako didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the xiaolongbao to eat with relish.

Following Yu Aragaki's recommendation, I dipped it in vinegar and chili sauce.

After one sip, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth.

tsk tsk~

This is too delicious.

Could it be that... this guy has put all his skill points into cooking?

Although he was so angry at the guy in front of him that morning that he was about to explode, he was still very happy and surprised that Koizumi Akako was able to help him.

Today, Koizumi Akako wasn't wearing her conspicuous witch outfit; instead, she was dressed in ordinary casual clothes.

She wore a red and white striped short-sleeved shirt with delicate black trim on the collar and cuffs, and the low round neckline accentuated her sexy and beautiful collarbone.

Her black mini-skirt revealed her fair and slender legs, and she wore a pair of simple and elegant black leather shoes.

Her simple, ordinary-looking clothes and appearance are still quite striking.

"What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen a beautiful girl before?" Koizumi Akako felt a little uncomfortable under Aragaki Yu's undisguised gaze.

Normally, she would definitely make the men who looked at her with such annoying eyes suffer.

However, at this moment, she did not feel much anger, but rather more shyness.

……

In this "harmonious" atmosphere, the two of them finished their breakfast quite happily.

Yuu Aragaki patted his belly contentedly and lay down on the chair to rest.
