The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

He's just a little handsome.

It's just that they're a little more capable.

It's just that they're more famous.

It's just that he has a better personality...

Wait a minute, now that you mention it, it's no wonder this guy attracts a lot of attention!

Thinking this through, Ai Haibara couldn't help but glance at Yuu Aragaki with a strange look a few more times, but she didn't answer Yuu's question. "Anyway, you should always be careful."

Ai Haibara suddenly realized that both Aya Ueto and Rena Mizunashi, even if they weren't connected to the organization, were still "dangerous" individuals.

The kind of person who drools over Aragaki Yu's "male beauty"...

For the sake of her older sister, Ai Haibara felt obligated to remind Yuu Aragaki of something.

……

“Rena Mizunashi”.

After giving Ai Haibara a few perfunctory words and sending her to Professor Agasa's house, Yuu Aragaki turned to leave, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the listening device in his pocket.

This was the very thing he had just found behind his collar.

The adhesive on the bugging device isn't very strong; it'll probably fall off on its own in a short time.

This is probably to allow the bugging device to detach from one's collar after a period of time, thus avoiding the risk of retrieving the device or discovering it on one's clothes.

As for when the bugging device was installed...

When Rena Mizunashi leaned against him in the izakaya, Yuu Aragaki noticed the subtle movements in her hands after Yuki-onna's reminder.

But this woman...

Why would someone install a listening device on themselves?

Normally, Rena Mizunashi should not be aware of her relationship with Gin.

Aside from Vodka and Vermouth, it's unlikely that any other members of the organization would be aware of their own identities.

Or perhaps the CIA developed suspicions about him and ordered Rena Mizunashi to secretly begin investigating him.

Thinking about all this, Aragaki Yu's expression became increasingly troubled.

Although he wasn't a threat, he was afraid of trouble!

Honestly, what kind of spy would such a beautiful woman be involved in!

Wouldn't it be better to just be a good host?

"Onmyoji, she has already gone home."

Just as Aragaki Yu was deep in thought, a white-haired, brown-eyed girl in gorgeous clothes, holding a folding fan, suddenly emerged from his Yin-Yang Domain.

Her voice was extremely soft, yet it carried an undeniable certainty.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Paper Dance."

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu also snapped out of his thoughts and nodded at the paper dance.

Bathed in moonlight, Paper Dance's crimson skirt shimmered with crystalline light, and several paper swallows fluttered up and down along the edge of the folding fan she held.

“It is what I should do, Onmyoji-sama.” Seeing Aragaki Yu looking at her, Paper Dance subconsciously bowed, a ripple appearing in her eyes that were half-hidden behind her folding fan.

This is the new shikigami summoned by Aragaki Yu through the blue ticket he obtained during the Noah's Ark incident—Kami-mai.

Although I only just summoned Paper Dancer, I don't know much about her abilities yet.

However, through her self-introduction, Aragaki Yu has already discovered that Paper Dance is a very useful special ability.

That is, being cute...

Ah, no...

That is, Paper Dance can consume a certain amount of spiritual power to attach its paper swallows to certain objects, thereby achieving the purpose of location tracking and eavesdropping.

Upon learning of this ability, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Wow!"

Isn't this just a human eavesdropping device?

Because the effect is achieved through spiritual power, the attached paper swallows are still undetectable to ordinary people with the naked eye or even instruments.

Furthermore, this method of location tracking and eavesdropping is not affected by conventional instruments or other signals.

Hehe, it's practically a paparazzi's (spy's) best friend!

It's a pity we can't see the surveillance footage, otherwise things would have become even more interesting.

……

"Achoo~"

Meanwhile, Rena Mizunashi, who had just returned home and changed her shoes, suddenly felt an itch on her nose and couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

Then, she tapped the earpiece on her ear and asked suspiciously, "Huh, there's no sound from the bug?"

Of course, Rena Mizunashi only had this question for a moment before she stopped thinking about it.

After all, the amount of adhesive he applied to the bugging device could only last for about half an hour, so it was quite normal for it to fall off Aragaki Yu halfway down the road.

Unfortunately, he didn't get any useful information from the listening device along the way.

It was nothing more than a few casual words exchanged between Yuu Aragaki and that pretentious little girl.

……

After praising Paper Dance a few times, Aragaki Yuya had already returned to the gate of his own house.

Just as he was about to push open the door and step into the yard, his outstretched hand suddenly stopped.

The next second, he also abandoned his plan to push open the gate and go home without hesitation. After going around several streets, he came to a secluded alley.

A black Porsche sat quietly in the shadows at the corner of the alley.

— Porsche 356A.

The two people who sat silently in the car watched Aragaki Yuu's approaching car without any attempt to hide their gaze.

If it's not gin and vodka, then who else could it be?

Leave application form

There's a small problem with today's chapter, I'll post it tomorrow!

Chapter 710 Don't Touch the Driver If There's No Need

Seeing that Aragaki Yu readily opened the car door and squeezed into the back seat beside him, Gin nodded to Vodka with satisfaction, signaling him to start the car.

After all, if it's left parked for too long, and someone happens to notice this rare antique car parked in this corner and comes over to look at it, that would be troublesome.

After the car drove out of the alley, Gin, who had been silent the whole time, glanced at the relaxed-looking Yuu Aragaki in the back seat through the rearview mirror and asked him the purpose of his meeting with Yuu.

"What's the deal with Noah's Ark?"

Although the police attempted to suppress the news.

However, given the huge uproar caused by Noah's Ark, and the fact that there were spies all over the upper echelons of Japan, it's not surprising that the organization would know about Noah's Ark.

"It's just an artificial idiot who wants to take revenge on society." Yu Aragaki thought for a moment and gave a very objective evaluation. "His ideas are a bit naive, but the game is very interesting."

The game is very realistic, including the part where you have to wash the dishes after eating and dashing.

Vodka: "..."

Gin: "..."

Artificial stupidity?

Is the game interesting?

Gin narrowed his eyes and warned in a slightly annoyed tone, "Stop being cheeky. I didn't ask you to discuss games. I'm talking about Noah's Ark. Is it really like the news reports, something a century ahead of reality?"

Gin doesn't know much about artificial intelligence.

He prefers playing with guns to computers.

Vodka, who was a computer whiz in the driver's seat, wanted to explain something.

However, before he could speak, a news broadcast came from Aragaki Yu's phone.

Although many rhetorical devices have been added, the overall meaning is very clear—

Thanks to the efforts of the police, not only were all the players who participated in the "Cocoon" game rescued safely, but even the "culprit" that caused all this incident, the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark, was destroyed on its own after the police realized the truth.

Self-destruction?

Upon hearing this news, Gin was visibly taken aback.

His brow furrowed deeply, and he couldn't help but ponder, "Will Noah's Ark, which has already developed intelligence, really self-destruct? Could it be that it secretly slipped out of the world's sight under the guise of self-destruction, or could the Japanese government have secretly privatized the artificial intelligence?"

Gin doesn't think any force would be completely unmoved by such advanced technology.

It seems...
