The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Isn't it normal for the owner to come looking for the thief?" Aragaki Yu casually tapped the suddenly stunned Yuki-onna, while smiling at the witch.

"Hmm, wallet?" The witch sat down on a bench, shook the water off her feet, and then slipped her feet into her boots.

Gudong~

For some reason, Aragaki Yu subconsciously swallowed when he saw this scene.

A line of poetry involuntarily came to mind—

Wu's feet are as white as frost and snow, and she washes white gauze barefoot.

The witch naturally noticed Aragaki Yu's movements, but she simply smiled and didn't point it out.

For some unknown reason, she slowed down the process of putting on her other shoe.

"Didn't I already return your wallet?" After putting on her boots, the witch didn't linger on the bench. She stood up, clasped her hands behind her back, and winked at Aragaki Yu with a smile.

Aragaki Yu: "..."

What the other party said was indeed correct.

The problem is that the wallet was indeed returned, but there wasn't a single penny left in it.

She looked at the silent Aragaki Yu, gathered her still slightly damp hair, and seemed to need to say something more.

However, just as she parted her lips slightly, about to speak, she suddenly froze, as if she had sensed something.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Yuu Aragaki noticed the other's behavior and asked in confusion.

Suddenly, the witch tugged at her slightly tight pants, gave a slight bow to Aragaki Yu, and said with a faint smile, "Let's talk about it next time!"

"and many more!"

Just as Aragaki Yu spoke up to try to stop it.

Just like when they first met, the witch leaped into the air and took a light step in the void, intending to flee into the distance.

"Damn it, just wait a minute!"

Seeing this, Aragaki Yu gritted his teeth and wanted to chase after him.

He knew very well that if he let her get away again this time, it wouldn't be so easy to find her next time.

This witch is no longer just someone who has a client's request for her services.

She also cared about the wallet that was stolen from Aragaki Yu, which contained a boy's dignity!

Of course, it's definitely not because I was craving something!

The witch, of course, ignored Aragaki Yu's attempts to stop her and ran off into the distance, dizzy and disoriented.

"Yuki-onna, Yoto-hime! Chase after them quickly!"

Fortunately, Aragaki Yu was well-prepared this time.

At Aragaki Yu's call, Yuki-onna and Yoto-hime immediately revealed their true forms beside him.

"Yes, Master!"

Yaodao-hime nodded slightly to Aragaki Yu, then picked up her sword and chased after the direction the witch had left in.

Yuki-onna, holding onto Aragaki Yu's arm, rose into the air and followed closely behind Yoto-hime.

Fortunately, it's late at night and everyone is quiet.

The witch intentionally headed in a less populated area, so no one noticed what was happening to Aragaki Yu.

The witch, who had expected to shake off her opponent as before, suddenly stopped after noticing the guy chasing her.

She stood with her feet together on top of a street lamp, looking at the woman with the knife who had also stopped a few meters away, and the boy following closely behind her, led by another woman. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Although she didn't know how the two women beside the boy had appeared, a strange feeling was telling her—

They are not human!

They certainly wouldn't be ordinary humans.

They still seem to be primarily focused on the boy who is searching for himself.

Judging from the current standoff, it's clear that the two women on the other side are positioned to protect the boy.

"Young man, pestering a girl won't end well!" Seeing that the other party had no intention of making a move, the witch, who didn't have time to waste any more time here, reminded Aragaki Yu with a smile.

"Oh, but you're not just any ordinary girl, are you!" Aragaki Yuu wasn't buying it. As he spoke, he also gestured with his eyes for Yaodao-hime and Yuki-onna to approach the witch who had stopped.

"Hmph! You'd better be careful then. Don't blame me if anything goes wrong!" Seeing this, the witch didn't say anything more. She gave Aragaki Yu a cold glare and then turned and left.

Meanwhile, Yuu Aragaki was led by the Yuki-onna to continue the chase.

She ran away and he chased her.

For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, each seemingly mindful of something, maintaining the same distance, yet neither willing to stop first.

And so, Aragaki Yu didn't know how long he had been chasing after them, but he gradually noticed something was amiss.

They had been heading towards the wilderness, but somehow they ended up in a city of steel and concrete.

Even though he hadn't run very far, the surrounding environment felt strangely unfamiliar to Aragaki Yu.

Tokyo, even at night, could not possibly be this desolate.

After looking around at his surroundings, Yuu Aragaki immediately frowned.

The city was eerily quiet; not a single person was on the street, and even the 24-hour convenience stores on both sides of the road were deserted.

What was even more unsettling was that a crimson moon had appeared in the sky at some unknown time, turning the originally dark sky into a blood-red color.

"Something's wrong!"

This is definitely not the Beika Town I know!

Meanwhile, Yaodao-hime and Yuki-onna realized that the situation was not good.

Since entering this street, they have lost track of the witch who was running ahead.

At this moment, after hesitating for a moment, Yuki-onna and Yoto-hime gave up the idea of ​​continuing the pursuit, stopped, and guarded Aragaki Yu closely, carefully watching their surroundings.

At this very moment, an ominous aura seemed to be permeating the air.

"Where is this place?" Aragaki Yu asked, looking at the snow woman beside him.

The Snow Woman simply shook her head with a sullen face.

"careful!"

Just then, accompanied by a cry of surprise, Yaodao-hime suddenly shoved Aragaki Yu hard.

Then, in the next second, a flame suddenly shot past the spot where Aragaki Yu had just been standing.

Looking at the charred marks left by the flames on the ground, Aragaki Yu, who had been pushed to the ground, was still shaken.

There are enemies!

The Snow Woman, realizing what had happened, looked at Aragaki Yuu who had almost been injured, and her expression suddenly turned cold. With a burst of cold light, a thick layer of ice crystals instantly covered Aragaki Yuu's body, firmly protecting him.

Meanwhile, the Demon Blade Princess, sword in hand, darted towards the direction from which the attack had just come.

However, before Yaodaoji could get close, another flame shot towards Yaodaoji, who was halfway there.

As Yaodao-hime rolled to dodge, the flames struck the road sign directly beside her.

The road sign was completely vaporized by the flames in an instant.

"!!!"

This scene also made Yu Aragaki realize that this level of attack was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess!

"Don't blame me if anything goes wrong!"

At that moment, Yuu Aragaki suddenly recalled the words the witch had just said.

Could it be that she had foreseen this would happen?

This……

What exactly happened?

"Snow Woman, protect your master!"

With a cold snort, Yaodaoji first sank into the ground, then pushed off with both feet, leaping up from the ground like an arrow and flying towards the containers in the alley.

She had just noticed that the attack came from behind the container.

The next moment, the Demon Blade Princess's hand rose and fell.

With a loud "boom," the enormous container was cleaved open by the Demon Blade Princess's single slash.

When the dust settled, Yaodaoji discovered that there was no one behind the container.

The attackers had clearly left after realizing their attack had failed.

Yaodao-hime, dragging her sword, jumped onto the container she had cleaved in two. With a stern face, she surveyed her surroundings but found nothing amiss.

"Yoto Hime, how is the situation?" Yuki Onna rushed up at this moment, protecting Aragaki Yu, and carefully guarded the surroundings.
