The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Ouch!"

The sudden weightlessness caused the children to scream, but the screams stopped abruptly as they were bewildered.

Conan let out a bewildered wail.

It turned out that the moment the floor cracked, Aragaki Yu grabbed Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, who were in mid-air, one in each hand.

As for the heaviest one, Genta, he was kicked away by Aragaki Yuu through the hollowed-out floor.

He clutched his backside and, with a sudden, dramatic fall, landed heavily on Conan, who was running towards him.

Seeing Conan convulsing under Genta's relentless pressure, Ai Haibara, following behind Yu Aragaki, subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

What a pitiful child...

Fortunately, I stayed behind Aragaki Yu and didn't join the other kids.

Otherwise, who knows if Aragaki Yu might kick him too.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at Aragaki Yu with a strange expression.

Ha ha……

should……

No way?

"Didn't I say that if you want to go up, you'll go down!"

Perhaps fearing that Conan, who was pinned down by Genta, would die completely, Aragaki Yu reminded the children while walking over and pulling Genta, who was still lying on the ground and had forgotten to get up, to his feet.

After being nearly crushed into a pulp, Conan, enduring the pain, struggled to his feet and looked at Aragaki Yu with a mournful expression.

Although he knew it was just an accident, he couldn't help but wonder if Aragaki Yu was deliberately targeting him.

Is it possible...

Aragaki Yuu knows that he secretly talked badly about him to Ran, right?

……

Hearing the commotion, the short-haired woman and Sudo Izumo quickly came over.

Seeing the suddenly appearing passage, the two exchanged a glance and tacitly took out climbing ropes from their backpacks. One of them found a railing and tied one end of the rope to it, while the other slowly lowered the other end down.

Since we can't find any other way, we might as well go down and take a look.

……

"Finally down!"

"But it seems we've already reached the lowest level!"

With the help of Yuu Aragaki and Conan, the Junior Detective League children descended one by one to the open space below using ropes.

"I originally wanted to go to the top floor!"

“I’ve already checked the rooftop, there’s nothing there.” The short-haired woman was the last person to reach the lowest level.

"Really?" Ayumi, who had always thought the treasure was on the roof, turned around and looked at the short-haired woman in confusion.

The short-haired woman nodded. "Yes, I think getting down was the right choice."

"what!"

At the same time, another scream came from Genta's side.

Everyone was startled by the sound and hurriedly looked in the direction of Yuan Tai.

It turned out that after Genta realized that his foot had kicked something, he turned on the light of his watch-shaped flashlight and looked around. He then discovered that the ground was covered with piles of bones.

"Skull!"

"Conan, this, this place...it's all skeletons!"

Startled, Genta hurriedly hid behind Conan.

Ayumi, her face also pale, grabbed onto Aragaki Yu's clothes.

Ai Haibara also took two steps behind Yu Aragaki.

Although she wasn't afraid of skeletons, seeing so many piles of bones still made Ai Haibara feel like this scene was making her lose some sanity.

"Judging from their appearance, they must all be treasure hunters!" Sudo Izumo squatted down with great interest and began to examine the skeletons on the ground.

Conan, who was also searching around with a flashlight, found an old man leaning against the wall in a corner, not moving at all.

"what?!"

Following Conan's light source, everyone quickly noticed the old man.

"How could even an old gentleman like this..." Ayumi, who thought the other person had stopped breathing, sighed with some reluctance.

Chapter 720: It’s broken, I’m a substitute!

However, the next second, the old man leaning against the wall suddenly opened his eyes and said to everyone who was startled, "I am not an old man, but an old woman!"

Her voice sounded strong and healthy, not at all like someone who was on the verge of death.

Then, she yawned and stretched, loosening her body.

"I slept so well~"

Looking at the old woman, even Conan couldn't help but wonder how she could sleep in a place like this.

At the same time, the short-haired woman looked at the old woman in front of her with great interest. "So you're a competitor too?"

Although Sudo Izumo had met the old lady and Aragaki Yu briefly in the garden before, he couldn't help but ask her now, "You're a treasure hunter too, right?"

“I didn’t come here to play.” However, the old lady rolled her eyes at the two of them and explained why she came here: “I just came to sweep the graves.”

After saying that, she glanced over Aragaki Yu and Conan and the other children without making a sound.

Kaito Kuroba never expected that Yuu Aragaki would bring these kids in after only being gone for a short while.

This world... isn't it a bit too small?

……

"Comb sweeping?"

Upon hearing this, Conan was taken aback at first, but then subconsciously looked at the skeletons scattered all around him.

"Yes, it's the grave of that Kichiemon."

However, the old lady's answer was somewhat unexpected for Conan.

"The grave of Misui Kichiemon!?"

Upon hearing the old lady's words, everyone's attention followed her gaze and focused on the tombstone in the corner.

"This time I must be the first one!"

Genta and Mitsuhiko completely forgot about the danger they had just encountered and the skeletons scattered around them, and ran towards the location of the tombstone.

The short-haired woman turned her gaze away from the tombstone and teased Sudo Izumo beside her, "Judging from this situation, the treasure is very likely to be snatched away by a kid!"

As for Sudo Izumo, he simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

[Lost soul, offer this divine weapon to me—Kichiemon Sansui]

……

Just as everyone was gathered around the tombstone.

Instead of rushing over to join the fun, Shinju took out his phone from his pocket.

Perhaps it's because the signal isn't very good in this area.

Just a moment ago, Yuu Aragaki's phone suddenly started vibrating wildly as if it were going crazy.

When he turned on his phone screen, he discovered that, perhaps because the faint signal had suddenly appeared when he ran to the attic, several emails had been sent to his phone all at once.

Upon seeing the senders of these emails, Aragaki Yu was somewhat surprised.

Normally, Akemi Miyano wouldn't send me so many emails at this time.

"Did something unexpected happen?"

With this in mind, Yuya Aragaki immediately opened the emails.

[Little brother Aragaki, guess what I'm doing?]

The contents of the first email from Akemi Miyano left Yuu Aragaki somewhat puzzled.

How was work?

I'm having coffee with my sister right now, and we're actually talking about you!

The next two emails were sent only about half an hour after the first one.

younger sister?

Shiho Miyano?

Upon seeing the contents of the third email, Yuu Aragaki was clearly taken aback, then glanced at Ai Haibara standing next to him with a strange expression.
