The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Just as he panicked and was about to fire, he felt his wrist being gripped tightly.

Before he could pull the trigger, the robber felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

Under the intense pain, he involuntarily loosened his grip on the pistol.

The next second, the robber found his pistol in the boy's hand.

Aragaki Yuu held the kidnapper's wrist with one hand and pressed the pistol against the kidnapper's forehead with the other.

"So, now, do you want to try and see if you can dodge the bullets?"

Robber: ? ? ?

Sato Miwako, who had just reached the two of them, looked at the scene in front of her with a blank expression.

A profound silence fell over everyone present.

Seeing Aragaki Yu pointing a gun at the robber, she couldn't help but wonder if she should suddenly attack and take the gun away first.

Regardless of whose hands it comes from.

……

Despite the bumpy road, Sato Miwako finally managed to get Aragaki Yu back to the police station "successfully" to complete the statement taking.

Yes, and it's double portions.

As Officer Sato led Aragaki Yu out of the police station and into the car, he couldn't help but shiver.

He couldn't forget the way Inspector Megure had looked at him like he was a lucky cat.

If it weren't for Officer Sato leading him, Yuu Aragaki would have even suspected that he would be left in the police station and never be able to leave.

……

A Mazda RX-7 sped past on the road.

This time, Officer Sato finally drove Aragaki Yuu home.

As for why he doesn't go to school?

Because Aragaki Yu's schoolbag was still at home, and he was also worried about leaving the three shikigami alone at home.

She was afraid they would worry because they couldn't find her.

As Sato Miwako drove the speeding car, she would frequently turn her head to look at Aragaki Yu, who was huddled in his seat.

In her eyes, the boy's face was very handsome, with sharp features, but no matter how she looked at him, she couldn't connect Aragaki Yu with the person who had just taken the gun from the robber.

Sato Miwako opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words back as soon as they reached her lips.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the car was unusually strange.

Yuu Aragaki naturally noticed Officer Sato's hesitant expression, and under Officer Sato's strange gaze, Yuu Aragaki felt a chill run down his spine.

Of course, Yuya Aragaki could see that her eyes didn't hold the girlish feelings that arose from seeing him subdue the robbers, but rather a gaze full of curiosity, incomprehension, inquiry, and even a hint of wariness.

"Officer Sato? Is there something on my face?"

Finally, it was Aragaki Yuu who broke the dull atmosphere in the car.

"Huh? Ah!" Upon hearing Aragaki Yu's question, Sato Miwako was suddenly stunned for a moment, but then she immediately realized what he meant.

She understood that Aragaki Yu must have noticed her staring at him, since she hadn't bothered to hide her behavior.

Sato Miwako was not a coy person after all. She was also very uncomfortable keeping some things to herself. So after a little hesitation, she spoke very directly: "Um... Aragaki-kun, I'm just a little curious."

"Curious? Curious about what?" Aragaki Yu felt a surge of nervousness mixed with confusion.

Although I did use some extraordinary power in the process of subduing the robbers, I mostly used spiritual power to enhance my reaction speed and perhaps also to intimidate the robbers.

But these things should be things that others wouldn't notice.

In other respects, he behaved no differently from an ordinary person.

These simple operations are something even a Saiyan like Kyogoku Makoto or Ran Mouri could do, let alone a serious Kogoro Mouri.

Could it be that this guy actually has a crush on me?

Thinking of this, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but glance at Officer Sato beside him.

Miwako Sato finally voiced her doubts: "What you said... about being able to dodge bullets, is that true?"

To this day, she still can't tell whether what Aragaki Yu said back then was genuinely confident or just something he said to intimidate the robbers.

"Huh?! That's it! Hahahaha..." Aragaki Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He never imagined that this was what Officer Sato had been struggling with for so long.

Seeing Aragaki Yuuka's tearful face, Sato Miwako blushed slightly and complained somewhat angrily, "Hey! What are you laughing at, Aragaki-kun? I'm asking you something very seriously!"

"Hahaha... Yes, I'm sorry, I just didn't expect that this was what you were struggling with. I thought you were thinking about something big!" Aragaki Yu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, barely managing to stop laughing.

All that worrying for so long was for nothing. I thought I had accidentally revealed something, but it turned out to be because of a casual remark I made back then.

"Officer Sato, have you ever heard the proverb?" Seeing Officer Sato's curious look, Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but want to joke around.

"What's that?"

Officer Sato glanced at Aragaki Yu with surprise, wondering why her question was related to some proverb.

"Do you know which is faster, a gun or a person?" Aragaki Yu stopped smiling and asked seriously.

"Huh?" Officer Sato couldn't understand what Aragaki Yu meant. Wasn't this the very question he had asked him?

"There was once a master who gave a very clear answer to this question: 'From ten paces away, the spear is faster!'"

"Oh?! So within ten steps, that means the person is fast!" Hearing Aragaki Yu's words, Officer Sato had a look of sudden realization. She seemed to understand what Aragaki Yu meant. "So, you weren't just saying that casually back then. No wonder you seemed so confident! You really were confident you could dodge the robber's bullets!"

Officer Sato felt a surge of excitement.

"Can I dodge bullets!?"

Chapter 100 Within Ten Steps

"No, Officer Sato, I didn't say that!"

Just as Sato Miwako was immersed in her fantasy of navigating through a hail of bullets, Aragaki Yu's words ruthlessly pulled her back to reality.

Sato Miwako cast a puzzled look at Aragaki Yu: "Hmm?"

"What I mean is, a gun is fast from ten paces away, but within ten paces, it's both accurate and fast..."

squeak--

With a sudden screech of brakes, Sato Miwako gritted her teeth and glared at Aragaki Yu.

[This kid, is there something wrong with him?]

Yuu Aragaki knew that if he revealed that someone could actually dodge bullets at close range, given Officer Sato's personality, she might actually try it herself if she encountered such a situation in the future.

Therefore, after silently apologizing to Ran and Makoto Kyogoku in his heart, Yuu Aragaki also said to Officer Sato earnestly, "Officer Sato, in the real world, how can a person possibly dodge a bullet? That's simply not scientific! This isn't a movie."

Officer Sato: ...

"hehe!"

After giving a cold laugh to Aragaki Yu, Officer Sato ignored him and started the car again. He just wanted to drop Aragaki Yu off at school and then go home for a good night's sleep.

This is absolutely humiliating...

He actually got lectured by a boy so much younger than himself!?

hateful!

……

Let's not even talk about Officer Sato, who was full of frustration.

After finally arriving home to retrieve his schoolbag, Aragaki Yu was about to comfort the shikigami who were worried about him when he saw the three little ones happily playing video games in front of the TV.

When the little tengu, who was operating the game controller, looked up at the sound of the door opening and saw the onmyoji Aragaki Yu walking in, his expression suddenly changed.

He finally remembered what he had forgotten!

I've completely forgotten that my Onmyoji is missing!

No wonder I always felt like something was missing when I woke up in the morning...

Meanwhile, the Yuki-onna, who was directing the little tengu, immediately looked up and saw Aragaki Yu.

"Onmyoji?"

She was a little confused as to why Aragaki Yu had suddenly appeared.

Wait... where did the Onmyoji go before?

Only when the Demon Blade Princess was still focused on controlling her character in the game, and after she defeated the Little Tengu's character again, did she raise her head with a satisfied look, wanting to show off to the Little Tengu and the Snow Woman.

But then he met the gaze of Aragaki Yu, who was looking at him.

Yaodao-hime: ⊙ω⊙
