The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

……

Furthermore, the matter concerning that little girl is also highly suspicious.

For some reason, Vermouth felt as if she had seen that little girl named Ai Haibara somewhere before.

But I just can't recall a single reason why.

After cleaning up the broken wine glasses on the floor, Vermouth returned to her original seat.

She gently nudged Aragaki Yu across from her with her toe until he looked up from the table with a somewhat bewildered expression. Only then did she ask again, "By the way, who was that little girl you were carrying away that day?"

As she asked the question, she met Aragaki Yu's gaze with a probing look, hoping to get an answer from him.

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu also raised his head, blinked somewhat blankly, and then opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

“Oh… her…” Aragaki Yu murmured.

"Ok!"

Noticing that Aragaki Yu seemed to want to say something, Vermouth also became expectant.

"She's actually... yawning~"

Just as Vermouth prickled up her ears, Aragaki Yu suddenly yawned.

Then, with a "thud," he collapsed onto the dining table, drunkenly closing his eyes.

"Forehead……"

Vermouth was stunned for a moment, and her expression became somewhat awkward.

Good heavens, this guy actually fell asleep at such a crucial moment!?

Good grief, it seems I gave him too much to drink...

Don't fall asleep!

Let's get up and have some fun!

Vermouth reached out and nudged Aragaki Yu, who was only halfway through his sentence, with some annoyance.

"Don't make trouble..."

However, the drunken Aragaki Yu moved his head and waved his hand dismissively, brushing Vermouth's outstretched hand aside.

"..."

Vermouth clenched her fists instinctively, and even gritted her teeth as she looked at the soundly sleeping Aragaki Yu.

hateful!

You drank too much alcohol!

Vermouth stood up angrily from her seat, gritted her teeth, and went to Aragaki Yu's side, shaking his shoulder.

Sure enough, there was no reaction at all.

Seeing Yuu Aragaki sleeping soundly, Vermouth couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.

She has no other options now.

She couldn't think of a way to wake Aragaki Yuu up while keeping him in a dazed state.

If she could, she really wanted to pour a bucket of cold water on Aragaki Yu.

This guy actually left such a beautiful woman like me here and went to sleep instead. Is he impotent?

Chapter 518 Okino Yoko’s invitation

He was just pretending to be asleep.

As a result, under the influence of alcohol, Aragaki Yu actually fell asleep.

Because the Snow Woman was watching over him, Aragaki Yu didn't pay much attention to Vermouth beside him.

If the other party makes any improper moves, the Snow Woman's ice spikes will pierce her chest without mercy.

So, having eaten and drunk his fill, Aragaki Yu slept soundly all night.

To his surprise, when he woke up the next morning, he found that Vermouth had cleaned up the dining table and kitchen before leaving.

Looking at the spotless kitchen, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

This woman is quite virtuous!

……

Before Aragaki Yu could finish his reflections, Miyano Akemi arrived.

This time, she was taking Ai Haibara, who had just recovered from a serious illness, back to Professor Agasa's house.

Because she has to take care of Ai Haibara, Akemi Miyano hasn't come to work at the Aragaki Family Yin-Yang Shop for the past two days.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he took Ai Haibara home early in the morning and then brought breakfast to Yu Aragaki's place.

As soon as she entered, Akemi Miyano waved the letters she had casually taken from the mailbox by the front door and muttered, "Hey, Aragaki, you haven't even cleaned out your mailbox while I was gone these past two days! That won't do, you know. What if there are any letters of authorization?"

"Ok?"

Aragaki Yu glanced blankly at the thick stack of letters in Miyano Akemi's hand.

It was only then that Yuu Aragaki realized that he hadn't checked his mailbox in a long time since Akemi Miyano came to help him.

Because I receive many letters every day with no clear meaning.

For example, there are promotional flyers for shopping mall openings, discount flyers in convenience stores, referral letters from various real estate agencies, sales brochures for real estate, and even all sorts of job applications and recruitment notices...

Therefore, Akemi Miyano took the initiative to review the letters every day, selecting the meaningful ones and then handing them over to Yuu Aragaki.

"It's alright, anyway, I don't think most clients would seek help by letter." Aragaki Yu waved his hand and muttered.

After all, those clients who come to seek help from Onmyoji generally prefer to come to the Onmyoji shop in person to explain their situation rather than submitting a written letter.

"Oh~"

In response to Aragaki Yu's perfunctory attitude, Miyano Akemi gently patted his head with the letter in her hand before sitting down on the sofa and flipping through it.

"Let me see, this is the utility bill, this is the invitation to the auto show, and this is a flyer from the convenience store next door..."

Sure enough, they were all letters with unclear meanings.

"Huh~"

Aragaki Yu looked at Miyano Akemi, who had suddenly let out a surprised exclamation, with some confusion. "What's wrong, Masami-nee?"

“There seems to be a letter from a client here~” Miyano Akemi picked out a pink envelope from among the many letters and showed it to Aragaki Yu. “Let me see, the sender seems to be… Okino, Ms. Okino Yoko!?”

Akemi Miyano looked somewhat surprised as she looked at the sender's name written on the envelope.

Of course she knew who Ms. Okino Yoko was; she was a currently popular idol singer!

"Is that so?" Yuu Aragaki's face did not show any particular expression as he browsed through the letter he had received from Akemi Miyano.

Just as Aragaki Yu was wondering if Miyano Akemi had encountered some strange incident again, he read the letter and realized that it was not a letter of request at all.

"Oh, it's an invitation."

Under Akemi Miyano's questioning gaze, Yuuya Aragaki continued, "She sent the letter to invite me to a party."

"Party?"

“Hmm.” Yuu Aragaki nodded. “It seems like she’s hosting an engagement party for one of her friends at a friend’s house.”

"An engagement party!?" Akemi Miyano looked at Yuu Aragaki in surprise. "But why would Yoko Okino invite you?"

Miyano Akemi was a little confused. Okino Yoko was an idol, so how could she have any connection with Aragaki Yu, let alone a special one? After all, the other party would send a letter to invite Aragaki Yu to a private party like this, which was like a friend's engagement party.

something wrong.

There is definitely a problem!

Akemi Miyano immediately became alert.

"Perhaps it's because I helped Miyano Akemi with a request before," Aragaki Yu explained with a smile. "Oh, right, you weren't here yet, Masami-nee, so you might not know."

“So that’s how it is…” Miyano Akemi nodded, but her eyes were still full of suspicion.

If it's a former client...

That would be even more dangerous!

Think about it, it's perfectly normal for a delicate woman to develop feelings for a handsome and outstanding young man like Yu Aragaki after he helps her solve her problems!

Especially for an idol singer like Yoko Okino, isn't the possibility of her hoping for a Prince Charming very real?

Just as Miyano Akemi was lost in thought, Aragaki Yu suddenly spoke up: "It's Saturday night this year, Masami-nee, are you free to join us?"

"Ah I?"

Akemi Miyano was clearly taken aback by Yuu Aragaki's sudden invitation.

“Yes.” Yuu Aragaki nodded and explained, “Miss Yoko Okino specifically mentioned in her letter that we can bring our companions along, and it seems she also invited Mr. Mori and his family.”

Upon hearing this, Akemi Miyano suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if Yoko Okino specifically invited Yuu Aragaki for other explanatory purposes, she certainly wouldn't have invited so many people to interfere with her.
