The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

It turned out that while he was describing all this, the snow woman, who was drifting around the room, accidentally bumped into the beaker on the lab table.

Unexpectedly, the bubbles in the liquid in the beaker began to surge violently after being bumped by the snow woman.

It opens like a bottle of cola that has been shaken before being opened.

They even produced a pungent white smoke.

"!!!"

In that instant, Yuya Aragaki didn't have time to say anything more.

While flipping over a coffee table to block the group, he also instantly knocked Professor Agasa down and stuffed him behind the coffee table.

Then, amidst Ai Haibara's shocked and bewildered expression, he scooped her up and hid behind the coffee table.

The next second, there was a loud "boom".

A violent explosion suddenly came from the direction of the lab table.

Even the heavy solid wood coffee table that was blocking their way was pushed away by the blast wave.

Fortunately, because there weren't many liquid bombs in the beaker, the explosion wasn't very powerful, and Aragaki Yu and the others, who were hiding behind the coffee table, were spared any damage.

After a few seconds, once he was sure there was no further danger, Aragaki cautiously peeked out from behind the coffee table.

Good heavens, the house is now a complete mess.

Not only were the surrounding things blown to pieces, but the floor was also blasted into a dent.

You should know that the floor in the doctor's house is made of a special high-strength material, not the ordinary wood or brick floor.

Even this place has been blown up like this.

Good heavens, it turns out that the stuff in that beaker on the lab table really wasn't safe at all.

"..."

Ai Haibara, who was being held in Yu's arms, was also caught off guard by the sudden explosion, and her ears were ringing.

Her head was throbbing slightly, and she held her forehead with her hand, completely unaware of what had happened.

It wasn't until she shook her head to shake off the discomfort that she realized she was still being held by Aragaki Yu.

"!!!"

The next second, Ai Haibara, blushing, struggled to get out of Yu Aragaki's arms, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something.

However, when she saw what was happening in the room outside the coffee table, she opened her mouth slightly and was completely dumbfounded.

Good heavens, so the professor had been secretly conducting such dangerous experiments outside all this time.

On the contrary, Professor Agasa got up from the ground looking rather disheveled. After adjusting his glasses, which had a broken corner, he looked at the mess in the room and said with lingering fear, "Oh dear, that was really dangerous!"

"Haha~"

Yuu Aragaki glanced silently at Professor Agasa, who had grown accustomed to all of this, and sighed in sympathy for the professor's house.

The fact that this house has not been completely rebuilt to this day is quite remarkable.

"It seems its stability is still insufficient..."

As a science enthusiast, Dr. Agasa didn't even grieve for his house at first; instead, he rested his chin on his hand and began analyzing the chemical formula of the liquid bomb.

However, before he could think it through, his hand, which was stroking his chin, suddenly froze in mid-air.

He felt as if a murderous gaze was fixed on his back.

The next second, Professor Agasa also turned his head stiffly to look behind him, only to find that Ai Haibara had been emitting a thick black aura from her body at some point, and her eyes were flashing a chilling red light.

It was as if he had been stimulated and completely turned to the dark side.

"Ai... Ai! Are you alright?"

Dr. Agasa's voice sounded somewhat flustered.

Yuu Aragaki was not surprised at all by Professor Agasa's reaction.

After all, Ai's aura at this moment was indeed chilling.

Even the little Yuki-onna hid in Ai Haibara's pocket after being provoked by him.

That was absolutely terrifying.

Professor Agasa, pale-faced, met Ai Haibara's gaze, only to perceive her as a demon crawling out of hell, with several eerie will-o'-the-wisps rising from her back. "Professor, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation..."

Her tone was calm, but it was incredibly frightening.

"I, I..." Just as Professor Agasa was puzzled, he finally understood the reason for Ai Haibara's anger by following the direction of her finger.

The handbag that Ai Haibara loved most, which had been sitting on the coffee table, was completely destroyed in the explosion.

"!!!"

Dr. Agasa was startled and, in his panic, blurted out, subconsciously shifting the blame, "Ai, it was Aragaki Yu who overturned the coffee table, which caused your handbag to be affected by the bomb."

"???"

Aragaki Yu, who had been enjoying the show, also showed an incredulous expression after hearing Professor Agasa's words.

I never expected you to be like this, Professor Agasa!

"Wait a minute, Doctor, you...!? No, Ai, don't worry, I'll definitely buy you an even better bag!"

Yuu Aragaki was about to retort when he noticed that Ai Haibara, who had already turned to the dark side, was approaching him step by step, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"That guy, I'm waiting!"

Unexpectedly, just that one sentence was enough to instantly dispel Ai Haibara's dark state. She calmly glanced at Yuu Aragaki before turning around and returning to her bedroom.

Chapter 581 Professor Agasa's Penny-Pinching Situation

"what……"

Noticing Yuu Aragaki's slightly resentful expression, Professor Agasa scratched his head rather awkwardly. "Aragaki, I'm really sorry, I'll pay for the bag..."

Dr. Agasa had no idea what had just happened to him.

However, upon seeing Ai Haibara's dark side, he instinctively tensed up.

"..."

Aragaki Yu looked up at Professor Agasa, whose face was full of guilt, but did not say anything.

Instead, under Professor Agasa's puzzled gaze, he lowered his head again and started swiping on his phone.

Dr. Agasa was slightly taken aback when he saw this, thinking that Yuu Aragaki was angry because of his behavior just now, which was why he was acting like he didn't want to talk to him.

"A-Aragaki...uh!?"

Just as Dr. Agasa was about to continue apologizing due to overwhelming guilt.

But then Aragaki Yu suddenly turned the screen of his phone in his hand toward himself.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that Aragaki Yu had been browsing shopping websites.

The phone screen is currently displaying a page for purchasing a bag.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million...

"what!?"

Professor Agasa stared wide-eyed at the long string of zeros in front of him.

Wait a minute, did I just say something outrageous?

I'll pay for the bag...

I'll pay for it...

money!?

……

While it's true that Professor Agasa is indeed a first-rate scientist and inventor.

However, each experiment requires a considerable amount of money, and there are also house repair costs that need to be paid every now and then for various reasons.

In addition, there were various inventions that, for some reason, did not sell as well as expected.

Professor Agasa can truly be described as being short of money.

If he could, Dr. Agasa, looking at the Prada bag on his phone screen, wished he had never said those words.

But if we let Yu Aragaki pay, wouldn't that be too unfair to the child...?

"Ugh……"

Professor Agasa lowered his head and sighed softly, feeling caught in a dilemma.

A few seconds later, Professor Agasa looked up at Yuu Aragaki again, his mouth slightly open, as if preparing to discuss something with him.

Anyway, Ai is still a child, so it's not really appropriate for her to carry such an expensive bag.

If not...

Should we choose the cheaper one?
