The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Huh? Britain?"

Aragaki Yu repeated the location Koizumi Akako had mentioned with some surprise, while vigorously shaking his hand, but he still couldn't shake off the Yuki-onna who was like a fish biting a hook.

"Hmm." Having finally managed to suppress the strange feeling in her heart, Koizumi Akako nodded at Aragaki Yu. "If this treasure map is real, then the treasure should be somewhere in this country."

Treasure Map.

Treasure.

Yuu Aragaki silently repeated these two keywords to himself.

That's right, that's why Koizumi Akako suddenly approached Aragaki Yu.

The incident began when Koizumi Akako, while browsing through an ancient magic book in the castle's library, accidentally found a map hidden in a fold of the book's cover.

Yuya Aragaki had seen Akako Koizumi show him that map. It was a piece of parchment that had weathered countless years, with jagged edges and an old, dark yellow hue, as if it would crumble into dust at the slightest touch.

Perhaps it was because it was kept in that ancient magic book that it was able to survive to this day.

The patterns on the parchment were all drawn with some kind of dried dark brown pigment, resembling dried bloodstains.

The patterns on the parchment are like countless stars scattered across the surface, with faint threads connecting the stars, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, weaving together into intricate and unpredictable patterns, like the mysterious veins hidden deep within the universe.

Among them, the seven brightest stars are arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, but they are off the usual position and surrounded by dim nebulae, just like ancient seals.

According to Koizumi Akako, the parchment depicts a very ancient starry sky.

However, a small portion of the stars had some minor issues with their arrangement.

This is something that only a magician who is proficient in astrology would be able to detect.

After all, the starry sky is constantly changing over time.

Even with the most sophisticated stargazing equipment available today, it is virtually impossible to reconstruct a star map from countless years ago simply by observing the night sky.

Fortunately, Koizumi Akako claims to have "some knowledge" of astrology.

With just a few strokes of his pen, the star map presented to Aragaki Yu was completely transformed.

Although it still appears chaotic, one can vaguely see some outlined shapes resembling mountains and rivers.

However, a star-marked pattern on the parchment confirms that even if it's not a treasure map, it still indicates a hidden, mysterious place.

Of course, this is on the premise that the place can still exist intact after countless years of changes.

Originally, Aragaki Yu wasn't particularly interested in such vague and ethereal things.

However, after Koizumi Akako said that she had determined the approximate area that the treasure map pointed to, Aragaki Yu also became a little interested.

Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well go with Koizumi Akako.

What if we can still get something out of it?

Moreover, during this period, I have been living a very routine life between school and home. Apart from Yoto Hime, who is always sitting in front of the TV playing video games, the other shikigami are also getting bored to death.

It would be a good opportunity to take them out for some fun.

"Let's hurry up and get going, we're still quite a distance from our destination." Koizumi Akako urged Aragaki Yu, who was standing there in a daze, after examining the treasure map one last time.

This is because the location of this teleportation array was a landmark set up by Koizumi Akako a long time ago.

However, Koizumi Akako's long-distance teleportation magic cannot achieve arbitrary teleportation without coordinates.

Therefore, the place where the two appeared was naturally quite different from the target location marked on the treasure map.

However, at least it's still within the same country.

More accurately, they at least didn't leave the England region.

However, when the words England and magic are mentioned, the first things that come to mind for Aragaki Yu are the great magician Merlin and King Arthur.

As for the others, like Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, and so on.

"Heh, they probably don't exist..."

Thinking of this, Aragaki Yu quickly shook his head, banishing these far-fetched ideas from his mind.

However, seeing the broom that Koizumi Akako pulled out from somewhere, an ominous premonition arose in Aragaki Yu's heart.

"A Nimbus 2000? Or a Fire Arrow?"

When Aragaki asked the question instinctively, Koizumi Akako looked at him as if he were an idiot, "What nonsense are you talking about! Haven't you woken up yet, or is your brain only the size of a pitiful walnut?"

"..."

Well, although Koizumi Akako's words were somewhat blunt, Aragaki Yu actually breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

If Akako Koizumi really heard about any Quidditch or similar activities, Yuu Aragaki would probably pack his bags and run away immediately.

After all, it's best to avoid someone like the mysterious man if possible.

"But are we really going to ride this thing all the way?" Aragaki Yu looked at the broom in Koizumi Akako's hand with a strange expression.

He preferred to use more modern modes of transportation rather than something that looked so unreliable.

Even if it's just having the Snow Woman carry me flying, it's still more reassuring than riding a broomstick.

"Of course! In this desolate place, you don't expect to take a taxi or anything!" Koizumi Akako rolled her eyes at Aragaki Yu, sounding annoyed.

If she could, she wouldn't want to pull out her flying broom!

Who doesn't know that riding in a car is easier and safer than riding a broom?

Chapter 605 Attack, Magic?

Where are you putting your hands?!

On the flying broom, Koizumi Akako turned around and glared fiercely at Aragaki Yu sitting behind her.

"Ok?"

Perhaps because the flying broom was moving too fast, the wind was howling in Aragaki Yu's ears.

They tore apart all of Koizumi Akako's words.

Aragaki Yu frowned, leaning forward and staring intently at Koizumi Akako's mouth, but he still couldn't make out a complete sentence. He could only catch a few blurry syllables in the howling wind.

Helpless, Aragaki Yuya could only shake his head, indicating that he couldn't hear what she was saying, while his hands, which were wrapped around Koizumi Akako's waist, tightened unconsciously.

"!!!"

At the same time, Koizumi Akako, who was suddenly attacked in the waist, was also startled, and her face turned bright red.

To her utter surprise, after her reminder, Aragaki Yu actually became even more outrageous.

Koizumi Akako gritted her teeth and glared at Aragaki Yu, just as she was about to explode in anger.

As if he had just realized something, Aragaki Yu's expression changed slightly, but his fingertips inadvertently pinched the soft flesh of Koizumi Akako's waist.

"嘤~"

The next second, Koizumi Akako felt a jolt in her heart, as if she had been struck by a tiny electric current, and a tingling sensation instantly spread throughout her body.

Immediately afterwards, she felt as if her limbs had lost all strength, and her whole body began to tremble involuntarily, as if her spine had been removed, leaving her feeling weak all over.

Normally it would be fine, but the key is that Koizumi Akako is currently piloting a flying broom high in the sky.

And he brought people with him.

And so, accompanied by two exclamations, the flying broomstick, like a headless fly, darted about aimlessly in the air.

Sometimes it suddenly surges upwards, sometimes it plunges sharply downwards, and sometimes it spins left and right rapidly.

Even the Snow Woman, who was used to floating in mid-air, was caught off guard and was thrown out, her face turning very pale.

faint……

I got airsick...

at the same time.

In the grass somewhere beneath the flying broomstick.

The three Demacian brothers...

(Pshaw, no, that's not right!)

The three masked men in black glanced at the flying broom above them, which looked like it was about to crash, and then looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Boss, what's going on up there?"

"Heh, maybe it's some trainee wizard from somewhere!" The leader of the men in black said with a sneer, looking at the flying brooms passing overhead.

"Oh!?" Upon hearing the word "apprentice wizard," the other two men in black's eyes lit up, instantly becoming excited. "Boss, are you in?!"

The leader of the men in black narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before finally nodding in agreement. "Let's do it. Blame their bad luck!"

They all knew very well that if the guy riding the flying broomstick in the sky really was an apprentice wizard...

Fat sheep!

The next second, a cruel smile appeared on the lips of the leader of the men in black.

With a wave of his hand, a jet-black magic wand slid from his sleeve into his hand.

"The flames are blazing!"
