The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

The abbot hiding behind Aragaki Yu couldn't help but shift his gaze when he heard Aragaki Yu say he was going to call the police.

He doesn't want to go to jail!

He began to silently weigh the options in his mind, figuring out how to kill the unsuspecting guest who had his back to him, and then get rid of Xiu Nian!

Finally, using the same method he had used to dispose of Tadanobu's body, he framed the Tengu for this murder.

This way, not only can their immediate crisis be resolved.

We can take advantage of the renewed popularity of the Tengu to bring the temple's incense offerings back to their peak!

Just as the abbot was envisioning a bright future, a malicious sneer crept onto his face.

But then a rustling sound came from outside the room once again.

[Damn, who is it now?!]

The abbot and Xiu Nian were already overwhelmed by the constant stream of uninvited guests.

Even Aragaki Yu looked towards the door with some confusion.

Because Aragaki Yu hadn't closed the door when he came in, the three of them saw the figure appear outside the room immediately.

"!?"

However, the sudden appearance of this figure caused the three people in the room to widen their eyes in surprise.

What kind of figure was that?

No, to be more precise, it couldn't even be called a shadow.

It was a strange-looking face, with a complexion as red as physalis, and what was particularly striking was its long, large nose.

If it were just its ferocious appearance, that would be one thing, but what's even more astonishing is that it actually has a pair of wings growing from its back.

Yet he was dressed in plain white monk's robes and high-toothed wooden clogs, holding a strange treasure that resembled a feather fan and a magic mallet.

It tilted its head, looking at the three people in the room, as if curious about what they were doing.

"Mist, Mist Tengu!"

The abbot felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

Having once killed someone and framed the Tengu, he immediately concluded that the Tengu had come to seek revenge.

Although I just can't believe that such a legendary creature as the Tengu actually exists in this world.

But the abbot couldn't help but widen his eyes in horror, his heart suddenly racing.

Finally, he clutched his chest, then suddenly collapsed to the ground without a sound, having fainted from fright.

Xiu Nian, standing to the side, was also stunned by the sudden appearance of the Tengu and the abbot who had fainted from fright.

"I, I, I didn't see wrong, did I!" He pointed at the Tengu and asked Aragaki Yu tremblingly.

He even began to suspect that it might really have been the Tengu who killed his brother Tadani two years ago.

After all, what you see is what you get. Who would have thought that a creature like the Mist Tengu would actually appear before your eyes?

Xiunian:......

That doesn't seem right either!

The abbot just admitted that he killed his brother, Zhongnian.

With her mind in complete disarray and overwhelmed by the shock, Xiu Nian's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Aragaki Yu:......

Looking at the abbot and Xiu Nian, who had both fainted, he was speechless.

These two people fell down way too quickly; they didn't even have time to call the police!

No, it's not a question of whether or not to call the police anymore.

Aragaki Yu silently put down his phone, looked at the Tengu outside the door, and became alert.

Since encountering the witch Koizumi Akako, Aragaki Yuu is no longer too surprised that legendary creatures like the Mist Tengu exist in this world.

He was just a little surprised that the Tengu from the fictional "Mist Tengu" murder case from his previous life's anime would actually appear.

But why is this guy here now?

Could it be that they really came to cause trouble for the abbot in order to avenge the framing?

Are all monsters these days so petty?

Yuu Aragaki, who was used to seeing monsters, felt no fear whatsoever; instead, his mind began to wander into wild thoughts.

Chapter 89 I'll Give You a Leg

At this moment, the Tengu's eyes showed some confusion.

In its eyes, the two humans who fainted from fright upon seeing it were already a common occurrence.

But the only human left staring intently at him made the Tengu feel very awkward.

It always felt that the human's gaze was filled with impolite thoughts.

……

He smells wonderful!

Suddenly, the Tengu smelled a captivating scent emanating from the human before him.

This aroma was far more captivating than any human he had ever tasted before.

I really want to eat him!

The Tengu stared intently at Aragaki Yu, his eyes filled with longing.

The misty tengu, which sleeps deep in these mountains and forests, has not eaten a human for a long time.

It's unclear when it started, but the Tengu noticed a significant decline in the quality of human meat, and the spiritual energy it contained had also noticeably diminished.

Especially in recent decades, humans have become less palatable than the natural creatures in the mountains and forests.

Even recently, the Fog Tengu was surprised to discover—

When certain mysterious herbs from the mountains and forests are applied to animals that have died in forest fires, they can produce an amazing aroma.

Aragaki Yu: "...?"

He was somewhat surprised.

Why is the Tengu of Mist looking at me like a strong man seeing a delicate young girl?

This human must taste delicious!

This misty tengu is so unreliable!

As their gazes met in the air, the human and the demon seemed to understand each other's thoughts.

"Jie!"

With a strange cry from the Tengu, it suddenly spread its wings and charged straight at Aragaki Yuu.

Swift as the wind, fast as lightning!

"Damn it!"

In his haste, Aragaki Yu leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding the Tengu's attack just as its claws were about to strike him.

The various ornaments inside the house were also blown to pieces by the strong winds brought by the flying Tengu.

"Snow Woman! Take me away from here!"

Having just dodged a blow, Aragaki Yu hurriedly got up from the ground.

He knew very well that he had become the target of the Mist Tengu's attack. In order to prevent the commotion from affecting others if he stayed here any longer, he immediately pulled the Snow Woman out of the Yin-Yang Domain.

"Yes, Onmyoji!"

The snow woman who emerged from the Yin-Yang Realm understood what had happened the moment she saw the scene.

"Tengu?" Although the Snow Woman didn't understand why a tengu would appear in such a place, she still stirred up a blizzard, carrying Aragaki Yuu from mid-air towards the mountains outside the temple.

"Jehovah?" The Tengu in the house looked up, puzzled, as an ugly thing suddenly appeared and took away its prey, and was furious.

(Yuki-onna: (▼皿▼#) Ugly thing?)

Then, the Tengu glanced at the two unconscious humans beside him, who were within easy reach, and then looked up at the fragrant prey that was flying away.

After hesitating for a moment, it flapped its wings and leaped into the air, chasing after the direction the snow woman had drifted away.

"Heh!" (Don't go! I'll give you a leg if you want!)

(Aragaki Yu:???)

……

Call ~

Yuu Aragaki guided the Yuki-onna to land in a clearing in the mountains, far from the Yamani Temple.

"Achoo!" Standing on the ground, Aragaki Yu rubbed his hands together and couldn't help but sneeze.
