The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

That's right, the face so close to mine, whose could it be but Chifuyu Orimura's?

However, while her face may be Chifuyu Orimura's, who she is as a person is another matter entirely.

After all, just a few minutes earlier, the snow woman sitting on his shoulders, eagerly anticipating buying ice cream, had already reminded Aragaki Yu—

The woman named Vermouth was secretly following behind him.

What puzzled Aragaki Yu was why this woman had suddenly come looking for him again.

As Yuu Aragaki tried to push away Vermouth's arm that was draped over his shoulder, he hesitated and asked, "Vermouth?"

"It's me," Vermouth admitted with a smile, not bothering to hide her true voice.

However, she ignored Aragaki Yu's attempt to push her away. Instead, she tightened her arms around him even more despite his glare, almost pulling his head into her embrace.

She had no intention of concealing her identity.

She adopted Chifuyu Orimura's appearance simply to prevent passersby from recognizing her true self.

No matter what, I'm at least a nobody!

Amidst the snow woman's exasperated expression, Aragaki Yuya finally managed to break free from Vermouth's embrace, then put on a very displeased look, "So what's the matter this time?"

"Haha~"

Vermouth chuckled, tucking her hair, which had been ruffled by Aragaki Yu's struggle, behind her back, and teased, "Isn't it because I haven't seen my dear little brother in a while, so I wanted to come and see you?"

"..."

Upon hearing Vermouth's words, Aragaki Yu suddenly fell silent, standing still and staring intently at Vermouth's face.

No, now it should perhaps be said that it's my cousin "Chifuyu Orimura's" face.

Vermouth's answer has absolutely no credibility for Yu Aragaki.

She would have been somewhat credible to say such things to Ran or Kudo.

Faced with Aragaki Yu's sudden silence, Vermouth was not in a hurry and just silently stared at him.

Anyway, the other person is indeed her type, so she won't lose out by looking at each other like this.

"Heh, long time no see?" Suddenly, Aragaki Yu snorted coldly, his tone somewhat unfriendly. "We just met two days ago, didn't we?"

Upon hearing this, Vermouth's eyes narrowed instantly, and her expression stiffened slightly.

Of course she knew what Aragaki Yu was talking about.

Two days ago, wasn't that the day the bus hijacking happened?

At the time, she disguised herself as a new doctor from Teitan High School and sat in that car. Unexpectedly, not only did the FBI get in the car, but Aragaki Yu also ran into the car halfway through the journey.

Sure enough, this guy recognized me just by his so-called "smell"?

Vermouth suddenly looked at Aragaki Yu with a serious expression.

Even though I didn't approach this guy, and I deliberately kept my distance, he still recognized me.

It's unclear exactly how far this "scent" is effective for Aragaki Yu.

If my disguise technique is always ineffective against him, that would be a real problem.

Thinking of this, Vermouth's eyes gradually turned dangerous.

However, when Vermouth thought about the purpose of her trip, the seriousness and danger on her face vanished in an instant, and her face returned to that cynical smile. "Heh, really? I didn't understand what you were saying."

Although Aragaki Yu has already exposed her, Vermouth is not about to admit anything.

"hehe."

Yuya Aragaki merely sneered at this and said nothing more.

Seeing that Aragaki Yuna didn't seem to want to talk to her, Vermouth couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

No matter what, I'm considered a pretty girl, so when did I become so harmless to these young boys?

Although Vermouth didn't intend to make a living based on her looks, she was still somewhat annoyed by Aragaki Yu's attitude.

Vermouth was about to say something when a thought suddenly struck her, and she said with a smile, "Okay, actually, I didn't have anywhere to eat, so I wanted to come to your house for a meal!"

"..."

Yuu Aragaki glanced at Vermouth, and although he didn't say anything, his expression and actions clearly showed that he didn't believe a single word she said.

Vermouth wasn't annoyed by this. Instead, she grabbed Aragaki Yu's hand and started walking forward, turning back to wink at him and saying, "It's true! Let's go, you know I haven't forgotten your cooking skills! Also, if we stay here any longer, we'll attract a lot of attention!"

Vermouth showed absolutely no embarrassment about referring to herself as "older sister" even after her identity was exposed.

Although he was very suspicious of Vermouth's motives, Aragaki Yu followed Vermouth and took a step forward.

After all, one thing was true: if they continued to stand there with this guy, the number of onlookers would only increase.

Both they themselves and Vermouth, who has the face of "Chifuyu Orimura," can be described as handsome men and beautiful women.

Standing face to face on the street like that, it was easy for passersby to mistake it for a couple arguing and attract their attention.

Chapter 513 Buying Wine

There happened to be a large supermarket in the shopping plaza where they were headed, so the two decided to buy groceries there.

The head chef is Yu Aragaki, so naturally he decides what ingredients to buy.

As a "guest," Vermouth could only offer suggestions from the sidelines, but her ideas were naturally rejected by Aragaki Yu.

Look at what Vermouth is trying to choose.

Australian lobster and king crab, Canadian geoduck, French Belon oysters, Hokkaido red king crab, Canadian botan shrimp, grouper...

As expected of a newly opened luxury shopping mall, they even have things like this.

It truly is a paradise for the rich.

Seeing the numerous zeros on the price tags of these ingredients, some even weighed by the ounce, Aragaki Yu didn't hesitate to pull Vermouth away from there.

"What are you looking at? I won't do any of those things you're talking about!" Aragaki Yuu turned to Vermouth and explained.

"I'll pay!"

However, Vermouth seemed to have seen through Aragaki Yu's thoughts and explained with a smile.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu subconsciously stopped in his tracks as he was about to leave the seafood section, and looked at Vermouth without changing his expression. "You want me to learn? You're right, learning on the spot isn't impossible!"

Vermouth: "Heh..."

Seeing Aragaki Yu rushing back, Vermouth just smiled and didn't say anything.

To be honest, from this perspective, Aragaki Yu seems like a harmless person.

However, it's unclear whether this behavior is her true nature or a deliberate act for her to see.

This is really a dilemma.

Just then, Vermouth casually glanced at the shelf next to her, which was filled with a whole shelf of alcoholic beverages.

They have everything from baijiu (Chinese liquor) to foreign spirits.

"It's wine!"

She glanced at him casually, then looked away and continued walking slowly forward.

However, five seconds later...

Vermouth then backed up to the liquor shelf.

She had originally planned to use the opportunity of having dinner at Aragaki Yu's house to extract some information from him.

Looking back now, if we had gotten this guy drunk, wouldn't the chances of success have been much greater?!

Vermouth suddenly clenched her fist in excitement.

If possible, she would prefer to take Aragaki Yu to a bar or nightclub. With the atmosphere of that place and her own charm, even if she couldn't get Aragaki Yu drunk, she could find an opportunity to drug him without leaving a trace.

Unfortunately, bars in Japan have strict laws prohibiting minors from entering.

More precisely, in Japan, minors are not allowed to enter bars, let alone buy alcohol.

However, nowadays, going to Aragaki Yu's house for a few drinks seems like a good option.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Vermouth's face.

This scene was caught red-handed by Aragaki Yu when he returned from shopping.

"What, did these drinks tell you a joke or something?"

Vermouth was startled by the sudden sound of Aragaki Yu getting up, but she didn't reveal anything when she came to her senses. Instead, she calmly turned around and looked at Aragaki Yu who was pushing the cart back.

You know what, as soon as Aragaki Yu heard that he was paying, he actually bought all the seafood that Aragaki Yu had just recommended.

Good grief, I had only planned to buy one of them.

When Aragaki Yu saw Vermouth looking at his shopping cart, he instinctively tried to cover the contents of it.

However, when he thought that even if he chose to cover it up, the other party would still find out when it came time to pay, he accepted it calmly.

Anyway, Vermouth offered to pay the bill, so why not spend the money from the organization's big boss!
