The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Aragaki Yuu suddenly opened his eyes from his sleep, looking slightly frightened.

In his dream, he saw himself surrounded by a bunch of shikigami.

Not just Yuki-onna, but also Yoto-hime and Kotengu.

There are also a bunch of long-legged characters like Enma, Aoandon, Shiranui, Miketsu, Suzuhiko, Hotaru, Ara, and so on.

Just as Aragaki Yu was indulging in the beauty of the women surrounding him...

All the shikigami suddenly swarmed over, clamoring to be offered Daruma by themselves.

Just as he was about to refuse their request because he was short of money, all the shikigami suddenly transformed into vengeful ghosts and pounced on him.

……

Really scary!

After lying in bed for a long time, Aragaki Yu finally recovered.

After stretching his slightly stiff limbs a bit, he was about to get up when he noticed the three little shikigami who had somehow ended up sleeping on his chest.

The Snow Woman, the Demon Blade Princess, and the Little Tengu were all fast asleep, each in a different pose.

Of the three, Yuki-onna has the worst sleeping posture. She spreads her arms and legs out, squeezing Yaodao-hime and Xiao-tengu aside, with a lot of drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

Aragaki Yu:......

No wonder I'm having nightmares.

This really is...sleep paralysis!

Especially since there are three of them on me...

Left with no other choice, Aragaki Yu picked them up one by one from his chest and placed them aside before slowly getting out of bed.

……

ding dong~

Good morning, welcome!

As soon as Yu Aragaki pushed open the door of the convenience store, the first thing that caught his eye was a pretty young lady in a store clerk uniform who greeted him warmly.

Good morning, Ms. Kato!

Yuu Aragaki was already very familiar with the shop assistant, Megumi Kato.

Who can blame him when Aragaki Yu buys ice cream dozens of times a week?

Moreover, this place not only offers affordable and high-quality goods, but it's also the closest convenience store to Aragaki Yu's home.

Therefore, Aragaki Yu met the shop assistant, Kato Megumi, quite a few times.

"Oh, you're here so early today? Buying ice cream again? Eating something cold so early in the morning isn't good for your stomach!" Kato Megumi said with a smile, reminding Aragaki Yu.

Clearly, she also recognized Aragaki Yu, the regular customer who was obsessed with ice cream.

"Haha... Thank you for your concern, Ms. Kato." Aragaki Yu laughed it off.

After all, he had no way of explaining to Ms. Kato that most of the ice cream he bought didn't end up in his stomach.

After exchanging pleasantries with Ms. Kato, the shop assistant, Aragaki Yu went straight to the food section.

It turned out that when Aragaki Yuu got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, he discovered that the supplies in the refrigerator were running low.

Therefore, while the three little shikigami were still asleep, Aragaki Yu went to a nearby convenience store to buy some things.

Yuu Aragaki glanced at the clock on the convenience store wall and nodded.

It is 6:45 a.m.

Hmm, it's still early.

While there weren't many customers in the shop, I still had time to pick out some things and go back to make breakfast.

When Aragaki Yu arrived at the food section, he was surprised to find that at this time, there were already people standing in front of the refrigerated food display case.

They seem to be struggling to choose what food to eat.

Judging from her back, she was a tall woman with short hair.

Yuu Aragaki wasn't particularly interested in the fast food and bento boxes in the refrigerated food cabinet.

Therefore, instead of going forward, he went to the fruit and vegetable section on the side and started picking them out.

"How about we have a vegetable and fruit salad for breakfast?"

Aragaki was quite satisfied with the freshness and quality of the fruits and vegetables in front of him.

While Aragaki Yu was making his selections, the short-haired woman also chose what she wanted to buy and headed to the cashier.

As she passed by Aragaki Yu, Aragaki Yu caught a fleeting glimpse of her face.

It was stunning, and it looked vaguely familiar.

However, Yuu Aragaki, who was in a hurry to get home, didn't think much of it.

The voice of the cashier, Ms. Kato, came from the counter: "One sandwich and milk, that's 350 yen in total."

"Okay, here's your 400 yen change, and 50 yen in return. Would you like me to heat it up?"

"Well, that's troublesome."

This is a crisp, clear female voice, different from Ms. Kato's; it must be the voice of that short-haired woman.

"Okay, guest, please wait a moment."

Most convenience stores offer microwave heating services after you purchase a bento box.

After carefully selecting the fruits and vegetables he wanted to buy, Yuuki Aragaki, as usual, bought a bag of ice cream for Yuki-onna before heading to the cashier.

At this moment, Yuu Aragaki noticed that the short-haired woman was still standing by the cashier, waiting for her sandwich to heat up, staring blankly at the turntable in the microwave.

Looking at her profile, a sense of familiarity welled up in Aragaki Yu's heart.

Just as Aragaki Yu was about to go forward to see what was going on, the convenience store door opened again.

ding dong~

"Welcome, sir...!" Ms. Kato's greeting was interrupted by a customer who rushed into the store before she could finish.

"Don't move! Robbery!"

Two men wearing black stockings and carrying weapons walked into the convenience store.

"Ah!" Kato's scream echoed through the convenience store.

"Shut up, clerk! If you don't want me to make a hole in you, keep quiet!" the lead robber threatened, brandishing a dagger in his hand.

The other robber, wielding a baseball bat, rushed into the convenience store and checked if there were any other customers inside.

"Boss! There's no one else here!"

Soon, the robber with the baseball bat returned to the counter and reported to the leader of the robbers.

“Very good!” He nodded to his underlings, then looked at the short-haired woman and Aragaki Yu in front of the counter. His eyes showed a hint of surprise, clearly not expecting that there would be customers in the convenience store so early in the morning.

When I scouted the location before, this convenience store usually didn't have many customers at this time.

Since an unexpected customer had appeared, he naturally wouldn't let this extra income pass him by: "You two! If you don't want to lose your lives, squat down, take out your wallets and put them on the ground, then put your hands on your heads!"

Then, he turned to Ms. Kato at the cashier and ordered, "Miss, you'd better obediently take all the money out of the cash register!"

After saying that, the leader of the robbers threw the bag in his hand onto the counter.

"Hurry up! Move faster!" The robber, holding a baseball bat, threatened Ms. Kato, pointing the bat at her.

Chapter 94 Robbery

"Yes Yes!"

Although she wanted to resist, as a weak woman, she was powerless to do so.

Looking at the short-haired woman in front of her, who was also a woman, and the "delicate and handsome" Aragaki Yu, after briefly assessing the fighting strength of both sides, Ms. Kato decisively gave up the idea of ​​resisting and had no choice but to fearfully take out all the money from the cash register as the robber demanded.

Sigh! This is a job I finally managed to find!

Ms. Kato was on the verge of tears. Although she couldn't blame herself for the robbery, she knew she would be fired if so much money was stolen while she was on duty.

"Good, very good! That's it!" The robber was very satisfied with Ms. Kato's behavior.

Aragaki Yuu, who was crouching on the ground with his head in his hands, glanced at the time and realized it was almost 7 o'clock.

If we don't find a way to resolve the current situation, we'll probably be late for school.

He couldn't help but regret not bringing his shikigami with him when he went out.

After all, relying solely on his own strength, he wasn't afraid of the robber in front of him.

However, there are two people on the other side, and I'm afraid I won't be able to subdue them in time. If, while I'm attacking one of the robbers, the other robber injures Ms. Kato or another lady, I'll be in big trouble.

"What should I do?!" Aragaki Yu couldn't help but start considering solutions.

If only I had an assistant...!?

helper?!
