The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Has he already run away?" Yaodao-hime frowned deeply.

"Perhaps it's because it sensed that we're not ordinary people!" the Snow Woman said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

Although she was smiling, her expression showed no sign of relaxation.

Moreover, she would absolutely not let anyone who wanted to harm the Onmyoji get away with it.

Even if the other party escapes, she will definitely find them and teach them a lesson.

"Oh ho?" Just then, a slightly playful voice suddenly came from behind them, "Is this what gives you the confidence to chase after us?"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them were immediately startled.

Because, they had just checked and there was no problem behind them.

Aragaki Yu turned around and saw that the white-haired witch who had disappeared earlier was now floating in mid-air, looking at the three of them with great interest.

Chapter 438 An Encounter at the Coffee Shop

"So, who exactly are you?"

"Me?" Aragaki Yu smiled slightly as he looked at the witch floating in mid-air. "My name is Aragaki Yu, and I'm just a victim whose money was stolen."

"Hmm~"

After giving a soft "hmm," the witch slowly floated toward the wall to one side.

As Aragaki Yu looked on in bewilderment, her body slowly disappeared into the ripples on the wall. "But you still shouldn't chase me anymore, if you don't want to get into danger again."

"and many more!"

As the witch was about to disappear completely, Aragaki Yu hurriedly called out to stop her, "Who exactly are you?!"

"If you can find me again next time, I'll tell you who I am, hehehe~"

As a seductive laugh faded into the distance, the witch vanished completely.

At the same time, the eerie scene around them slowly faded away.

In the blink of an eye, Aragaki Yuu appeared in a completely different alley.

The sky returned to its original color.

Yuu Aragaki recognized the alley; it was not far from his home.

"Witches, huh? How interesting!"

……

Noon the next day.

Inside the Polo Café, Yuu Aragaki and Akako Koizumi sat facing each other at opposite ends of a table.

"Oh, so you mean that witch led you to a space that didn't exist before?" Koizumi Akako raised an eyebrow and asked with interest.

“Yes.” Yuu Aragaki nodded. “It was a city I had never seen before, but when it disappeared, I returned to Beika Town.”

"Um……"

When Koizumi Akako heard this, her brows furrowed involuntarily. "Is it a domain?"

However, she quickly denied her guess, saying, "But I've never heard of a realm that can appear and disappear freely with an individual!"

"And if it really is as you say, almost the size of a city block, that's simply beyond what a domain could achieve."

Koizumi Akako's mind was completely filled with a jumble of questions.

Driven by curiosity, she nudged Aragaki Yu's leg under the table with some dissatisfaction and complained, "Honestly, you didn't even tell me last night. Why did you have to show off all by yourself?"

"This... oh..." Aragaki Yu rolled his eyes at Koizumi Akako, explaining helplessly, "It happened so suddenly that even I didn't have time to react, let alone notify you!"

"Humph~"

Just as Koizumi Akako turned her head away with a haughty air.

Suddenly, a conversation from the side reached them.

"Huh? The photo? You mean you want Mr. Shibata to return that photo to you, so you asked me to find him."

"That's right. That photo is the only one I can keep as a memento, taken when I won the semi-finals of the summer sports competition in my third year of junior high school. But a few days ago, my grandmother accidentally threw away the medal I won at that time, so I thought that at least I still have a photo to keep as a memento."

"Wait a minute, then why is that photo with Mr. Shibata?"

“I once borrowed a book from him, and the photo was accidentally tucked inside the book. I didn’t notice it afterward and returned the book to him.”

"Hehehe... So, Mr. Shibata wasn't your first love?"

Hearing the increasingly perverse tone, Yuya Aragaki was finally able to confirm that it was indeed Kogoro Mouri's voice.

Afraid of disturbing them, Yuu also cautiously peeked out and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Sure enough, they saw Kogoro Mouri, Conan, and Ran.

Sitting around the same table with them was a woman with excellent temperament and appearance, dressed in a kimono.

Upon witnessing this scene, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "Tsk, no wonder Kogoro Mouri has this attitude."

Yuya Aragaki wasn't too surprised that Kogoro Mouri and his group were there.

After all, Polo Cafe is located right downstairs from the Mori Detective Agency.

However, the woman seemed to have some kind of request to make to Kogoro Mouri.

In this situation, wouldn't it be more convenient to discuss it in the firm?

"What's wrong, Aragaki Yu?"

Seeing Aragaki Yu's actions, Koizumi Akako, who was sitting opposite him, leaned over curiously and asked him a question.

"It's nothing, I just ran into someone I know." Aragaki Yu smiled and shook his head at Koizumi Akako.

Since Kogoro Mouri and the others were talking to the client, he couldn't very well go up and disturb them.

However, just as Aragaki Yu was about to turn his head away, Ran, who was looking around awkwardly because of Kogoro Mouri's strange words, also noticed Aragaki Yu in the corner.

"Aragaki, so you're here too?"

Aragaki Yu: "..."

When Ran saw Aragaki Yu, she instinctively stood up to greet him.

For a moment, she forgot that her father was talking to the client.

When Xiaolan realized that she seemed to have disturbed the client, she stuck out her tongue apologetically and bowed to the lady.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri, Conan, and even the female client all looked in the direction Ran had just called out.

That is, they were looking towards Aragaki Yu's side.

In particular, when the female client heard the name "Aragaki" suddenly come out of Xiaolan's mouth, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

Now that Kogoro Mouri and the others had already looked over, Yuu Aragaki knew that he couldn't continue sitting there.

With no other option, he stood up, left his seat, and walked towards Kogoro Mouri and the others.

Seeing this, Koizumi Akako hesitated for a moment before getting up and following Aragaki Yu.

"Excuse me, Mr. Mori, I'm sorry to bother you. And Ran, Conan, it's been a long time!" Yuu Aragaki greeted them apologetically.

Koizumi Akako nodded slightly to the people in her seat.

"It's alright." Before Kogoro Mouri could say anything, the female client next to him smiled and shook her head.

Since the client had already said that, Kogoro Mouri naturally had nothing to say.

After all, he had a very good impression of Yuu Aragaki.

At least compared to that arrogant brat Shinichi Kudo, Yuu Aragaki was much more pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, he nodded to Aragaki Yu as a greeting.

Ran and Conan, however, looked incredibly surprised and delighted. "Aragaki (older brother), it's been so long!"

Chapter 439: They're boyfriend and girlfriend!

"Who is this?"

Driven by her gossipy nature, Ran looked at the pretty girl next to Aragaki Yu with some curiosity and asked her.

"Hello, my name is Koizumi Akako." Before Aragaki Yu could answer, Koizumi Akako introduced herself.

"Hello..."

Ran nodded enthusiastically in response, but her expression showed some hesitation and confusion, as if she was curious about the relationship between Koizumi Akako and Aragaki Yu.

However, it seemed that because it was their first meeting, they were too embarrassed to ask.

"He and I..."

However, none of this could escape Koizumi Akako's eyes; she saw through Ran's thoughts at a glance.

Koizumi Akako glanced at Aragaki Yu beside her, and a slight smile suddenly appeared on her lips. "He and I are boyfriend and girlfriend!"
