The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"..."

Yuu Aragaki glanced at Yumi Miyamoto with a somewhat speechless expression.

He knew that what she said did make some sense, but he knew that Miyamoto Yumi's true thoughts were definitely not like that.

In fact, that's not what Miyamoto Yumi thought either.

After all, she felt something was off when she saw Miwako and Aragaki Yu together in the car last time.

Although she never managed to catch Miwako and Aragaki Yu meeting again, she discovered from her subtle questioning of Miwako that Miwako seemed to have a pretty good impression of the little guy, Aragaki Yu.

So, the reason she came up with this idea on the spur of the moment was to give Miwako a "surprise" and scare that guy.

Besides, what if it actually works!

After all, he was a talented man and she was a beautiful woman.

As for the age difference between the two, Yumi Miyamoto didn't seem to care.

A woman three years older than her husband is considered very fortunate.

If we hold a few more pieces, then little Yuu Aragaki is the one who really benefits!

"But..." A hesitant expression appeared on Aragaki Yu's face, and he seemed extremely unwilling.

How could someone be conscripted into the army?

This matter sounds very troublesome, and since it involves Officer Sato, he has a feeling that it will cause a lot of bad things.

So he waved his arm, indicating what he was holding to the group, "I just bought ice cream from the supermarket and am rushing home, so I might not have much time."

Chapter 536 The Art of Bribing with Ice Cream

"..."

Miyamoto Yumi gave Aragaki Yu a strange look. How old is he? Why is he still eating ice cream?

Ran, Sonoko, and Conan were already used to this, since every time they went to Aragaki Yu's house to freeload, his refrigerator was always full of ice cream.

"Hey Aragaki, why don't you just agree?" Sonoko, who was standing to the side, was also looking at Aragaki Yu's reluctant expression and was happy to make things worse.

If Aragaki Yu doesn't go, wouldn't I miss out on all the excitement?

Therefore, after a moment's hesitation, she immediately suggested, "I can have my driver deliver your things back to you first."

"Isn't this bad?"

Yuu Aragaki was still reluctant to get involved in this mess, and besides, even the Snow Woman was starting to nag him, urging him to go home and eat ice cream.

Seeing that Aragaki Yu was unwilling to agree, Sonoko felt anxious.

Seeing the large bag of ice cream that Aragaki Yu was carrying, Sonoko suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

She had always mistakenly believed that Aragaki Yu was obsessed with ice cream, and now she felt she had caught him red-handed. Her smile was practically overflowing. "Aragaki, if you agree to help, I'll have the butler send you all the remaining Royal Ice Cream from home tomorrow!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu looked at Sonoko speechlessly, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Just how much did Sonoko misunderstand him?

She really thinks she can win him over with ice cream!

Ha, what does she think she is?

To show that he was unmoved, Aragaki Yu picked up his shopping bags and prepared to leave.

However, before he could turn around, he found that the snow woman on his head suddenly tugged at his hair.

Upon hearing the words "Royal Ice Cream," the Snow Woman's attitude instantly changed. She stopped clamoring to go home and instead floated leisurely from Aragaki Yu's head onto Sonoko's body, perching on her head and staring at her with expectant eyes.

Her eyes seemed to say, "Onmyoji, please say yes!"

"How can you give in just because of a few ice creams!" Yuu Aragaki gestured with his eyes.

"Ice cream? That's royal ice cream!" The snow woman pouted, drool almost dripping from the corner of her mouth.

"It's just Royal Ice Cream! I'll buy it for you!" Yuichi Aragaki said through gritted teeth.

"This……"

Now, the Snow Woman began to hesitate.

However, at that moment, Sonoko noticed the strange expression on Aragaki Yu's face. Thinking he was struggling with whether or not to bend over for ice cream, Sonoko decided to add fuel to the fire—

"Aragaki, that's no ordinary royal ice cream! It's a special royal supply, and you absolutely can't buy it in Japan!"

Aragaki Yu: "???"

Snow Woman: "!!!"

Goodness, seeing the light in Yuki-onna's eyes, Aragaki Yu realized that he could no longer refuse Sonoko's words.

Unexpectedly, even though Sonoko was unaware of the existence of the Snow Woman, she still managed to successfully "seize" that guy's weakness.

……

In the end, Aragaki Yu was forced to agree.

Of course, it wasn't because they couldn't bear to refuse Sonoko and Miyamoto Yumi's requests.

It was because the Snow Woman, in order to obtain the royal ice cream that Sonoko mentioned, even started throwing a tantrum and acting like a spoiled brat.

To Ran and Sonoko's surprise, Officer Sato's blind date happened to take place at the same location where they were going to have lunch.

"Ran, since we're going to Shuidulou for lunch anyway, why don't we go check it out too?" Sonoko winked at Ran.

Sonoko, who was just looking for a reason to get involved, was unusually excited at this moment.

"I'm fine with it, I'm going to get there anyway."

Ran was naturally very interested in Sonoko's suggestion.

After all, this is not just Officer Sato's matchmaking event; Aragaki Yuya may stage a "bride-snatching" scene at any time.

Conan, of course, had no objection to this.

He's willing to do anything right now, as long as it's not going shopping with Ran and Sonoko.

Moreover, he was also very curious about Officer Sato's blind date.

“In that case, why don’t you come with us to Suitoro for lunch? That way, it will be much easier if Officer Sato really needs your help!” Sonoko suggested to Yuu Aragaki.

Yuu Aragaki naturally wouldn't refuse and readily agreed.

"Then, Yumi-nee, how about we ask you to give us a ride?" Sonoko looked at Miyamoto Yumi and asked with a smile.

"That won't do, I'm on duty right now!" Miyamoto Yumi finally remembered that she was still working. "If I leave my duty area without permission, I'll get a lecture from the section chief again."

After saying that, she stuck out her tongue, looking rather embarrassed.

However, from her words, it's clear that she has had many experiences of being reprimanded for this reason.

Just then, a car horn suddenly sounded from behind them.

Startled, the group turned to look. Ran and Sonoko were surprised to see the person in the driver's seat of the car. "Dr. Shinichi?"

The next second, Shinichiro also poked his head out of the car, looking at the group of guys in front of him with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong with you guys? Why are you all here?"

Vermouth, disguised as Dr. Araide, was somewhat surprised to encounter Ran and Conan at this place.

Actually, she didn't want to get involved, but when she noticed Aragaki Yu standing next to Ran and Conan, alarm bells started ringing in her mind.

So, in order to figure out what was going on, Vermouth decided to stop the car.

"Great!" Sonoko immediately raised an eyebrow and her expression became excited when she saw the suddenly appearing Dr. Shinichi.

It's like someone brought you a pillow just when you were about to doze off.

Why not take advantage of a free ride?

Next, Sonoko explained the situation to Dr. Shinichi and then asked him to take them to the Water Tower.

Ran seemed a little embarrassed by Sonoko's shamelessness.

After all, this would be too much trouble for the new doctor.

"Sure, I'm free anyway, get in the car."

However, to Ran's surprise, after a little thought, Shinichi Araide readily agreed to Sonoko's request.

Chapter 537 Blind Date

Vermouth, who was already worried about Ran and Conan hanging out with Aragaki Yu, was looking for a reason to approach them when this girl named Suzuki Sonoko gave her such a perfect opportunity.

Furthermore, Vermouth was somewhat surprised that Yuu Aragaki would agree to help a female detective sabotage her blind date.

Is this guy really that free?

It's unclear whether his reason for doing this was genuine kindness in helping others, or whether he had ulterior motives.

Regardless, Vermouth felt it was necessary for her to get involved.

Moreover, seeing the smile on Aragaki Yu's face as he looked at her, Vermouth instantly realized that the other party had seen through her identity.
