The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Although he really wanted to meet Sherry.

But no matter how you look at it, the current atmosphere isn't good.

“I…” Aragaki Yu hesitated.

"You really want to meet him, don't you?" Miyano Akemi said to Aragaki Yu in a very "gentle" way.

“You’d probably prefer to be with me rather than meet some random people, right?” Koizumi Akako smiled brightly.

"Oh, right, I just remembered! I forgot to feed my pet when I left home today!" Aragaki Yuu suddenly stood up and said in a flustered manner, "Well then, Ms. Akako! Ms. Hirota! I'll take my leave now!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than, to the astonishment of the two, Aragaki Yu hurriedly rushed out of the coffee shop and fled in panic.

"Hmph!"×2

When Koizumi Akako and Miyano Akemi came to their senses, they exchanged a blank look, then each snorted coldly and turned their heads away.

……

"Whoo~"

We managed to escape a disaster.

Realizing what was happening too late, Shinjuku Yu finally collapsed onto his bed and let out a long sigh of relief.

I don't know what happened today. I successfully resolved Yoko Okino's request, but I ended up with a mountain of debt.

Later, he inexplicably found himself in a "battlefield".

What did I do to deserve this? This is truly an undeserved disaster.

As for whether Koizumi Akako would like him...

Even if Aragaki Yu were very confident in himself, he wouldn't be so fanciful.

After all, Koizumi Akako is a witch who is most skilled at manipulating people's hearts.

In Yuu Aragaki's mind, the witch was not the kind of simple person who would fall for someone's handsome appearance.

……

In the following days, Yuu Aragaki returned to his ordinary daily life.

Over the course of these past few days, Aragaki Yu received numerous phone calls from Okino Yoko.

In the phone call, Yoko Okino recounted that since she got rid of the strange gemstone necklace and put on the crystal pendant given to her by Akako Koizumi, she has never seen any hallucinations related to Akira Fujie again, and her mental state has also improved significantly.

Therefore, she made a special call to thank Aragaki Yu and hoped that Aragaki Yu could convey her gratitude to Koizumi Akako.

Akemi Miyano also sent a lot of messages.

The content was nothing more than that he had met an important person he hadn't seen in a long time at the coffee shop that day, and he was very happy.

She also expressed deep regret that she couldn't let Aragaki Yu meet her.

Finally, he also made a few indirect criticisms of Koizumi Akako.

Koizumi Akako, who suddenly became the creditor, did not contact Aragaki Yu in the past few days.

I don't know if she was angry because of what happened with Akemi Miyano that day or if she was busy with other things.

Yuya Aragaki, naturally, wouldn't want to make a fool of himself, so he took the initiative to contact Akako Koizumi.

……

Life suddenly became peaceful.

There is no magic, no cases.

Tomorrow all I need to do is go to school and feed Yuki-onna and Yoto-hime.

This kind of life is a bit boring...

"Aragaki, why are you so distracted today?"

It was like a spring breeze brushing against Aragaki Yu's cheek, pulling him out of his reverie.

It turned out that Xiaolan was standing in the aisle, looking at her with concern.

Ran interrupted his thoughts. Seeing the worry on her face, Aragaki Yu smiled and said, "Sorry, I was a little distracted. I've been incredibly busy lately, so my mental state might not be great."

"Oh! That's right, I think I heard Conan say that you've recently started taking over the work your parents left behind, Aragaki!" Ran exclaimed upon hearing this. "But no matter how busy you are, you should take care of your health! Get some rest!"

"Mmm." Feeling the tenderness that was unique to him in Ran's words, Aragaki Yu nodded.

"If you need any help, feel free to come to me and Sonoko anytime! Oh, and Conan too! He may be young, but he's incredibly capable sometimes!" Ran said with a smile.

"Thank you, Xiaolan!"

Yuu Aragaki knew that Ran's words were absolutely sincere, unlike some people who were just saying it casually.

Ran suddenly asked curiously, "Oh, by the way, Aragaki Yu, I didn't know that you have a job. What exactly do you do?"

"Catching ghosts."

"Why!!!???"

d(OдO?)

In an instant, Xiaolan changed her expression like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, her face now displaying beady eyes.

Chapter 84 Cherry Blossom Viewing

"The cherry blossoms are so beautiful! Look, there are so many over there!" Xiaolan leaned against the railing, gazing at the distant scenery, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Yuu Aragaki took a deep breath of nature's cleansing air, stretched out his arms to relax his body, and couldn't help but praise, "Indeed, the cherry blossoms blooming in the sparsely populated mountains are a completely different scene from the concrete jungle of the city."

The snow woman also flitted among the cherry blossom branches, occasionally letting out a "giggle" laugh.

Fortunately, Xiaolan couldn't hear the Snow Woman's voice; otherwise, it would probably have left her with a lasting trauma.

Meanwhile, Yaodaoji sat quietly on the railing, watching the cherry blossoms covering the mountains and enjoying the beautiful scenery before her.

"Yes, these are truly beautiful cherry blossoms. It was worth renting a car to come all this way!" Kogoro Mouri said earnestly.

Only Conan stood to the side, arms crossed behind his head, muttering, "I can't stand it, this is so incredibly boring!"

Rather than admiring the cherry blossoms covering the mountains, he would prefer to spend the weekend at home revisiting classic detective novels.

Seeing Aragaki Yuu beside her, immersed in the natural scenery, Ran felt a sense of relief.

After all, Aragaki Yu has been a real worry for her these days.

……

During the peak of cherry blossom season, Ran invited everyone to go out and enjoy the flowers to relax, as she was concerned about Aragaki Yu's mental state.

As it happened, Xiaolan also saw this secluded cherry blossom paradise in a travel magazine, so she asked her father to drive her on a spontaneous trip.

Unfortunately, Sonoko had something come up and couldn't come along, so this time it turned into a trip for the four of them: Aragaki Yu and the Mori family.

……

"Come on! It's rare to see such a beautiful view, let's take a commemorative photo together!" Kogoro Mouri suggested, pulling out his camera from his pocket.

Xiaolan said excitedly, "Okay!"

Kogoro pointed to a cherry tree in full bloom not far away and said, "Quick, Ran and the others, go stand over there and get ready."

"Conan, Aragaki, let's go quickly!" Ran happily grabbed Conan's hand and ran towards the cherry blossom tree, while turning back to remind Aragaki Yu.

After the three of them posed under the cherry blossom tree, Ran called out to Kogoro Mouri, who had the camera fixed to the top of the car, "Dad, let's use the camera's automatic shooting function and come take a picture together!"

"it is good!"

After setting up the delayed shooting, Kogoro Mouri strode over to the three of them and struck an exaggerated pose: "Come on, cheese!"

Even Yuki-onna and Yoto-hime rushed over, climbed onto Aragaki Yu's shoulders, and sat on either side of him, making a peace sign.

……

In the car, Yuu Aragaki sat in the passenger seat, looking through the various photos he had taken with his camera.

When I saw the group photo of the four of them, I couldn't help but chuckle.

With a smile in his eyes, he glanced at Conan and Ran in the back seat through the rearview mirror. Ran couldn't help but think, "I feel like I'm a bit out of place in this photo."

Looking at his smiling self in the photo, he couldn't help but sigh, "This kind of life doesn't seem so bad."

"Hmph!" On the contrary, the Yuki-onna and Yoto-hime on Aragaki Yu's shoulders seemed quite dissatisfied.

Damn it, that damn camera! It didn't even capture my image!

【Damn it, damn it, damn it!】The Snow Woman glared angrily at the camera in Aragaki Yu's hand.

Even the Demon Blade Princess had a slightly stern face, looking rather regretful.

Seeing that Yuki-onna and Yoto-hime looked a little sad, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but pat their heads and comfort them, saying, "It's okay, we'll come again next time!"

"Damn it, next time we must revert to our true forms and take a picture with the Onmyoji, right, Yoto Hime!" Yuki Onna vowed.

"Yes!" Yaodao-hime nodded.

"Okay, let's come together again next time!" Xiaolan, sitting in the back seat, thought that Aragaki Yu was talking to them and replied with a smile.
