The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

In that instant, Akane Oba actually felt that all the fear she had just experienced had become worthwhile.

However, Akane Oba didn't see how interesting the expressions on Akemi Miyano and Ai Haibara's faces changed the moment she pressed against Yu Aragaki's back.

"Pah, that shameless woman!"

The Yuki-onna and other shikigami who had been floating to the side cursed under their breath, suddenly feeling incredibly regretful.

If they had known this woman would be so shameless, they wouldn't have secretly intervened to save her when that woman attacked her from behind.

Damn it! We kindly saved you, and you still want to seduce the Onmyoji!

Chapter 746 I wasn't actually reminding you...

Under the watchful eyes of several men who seemed ready to devour him, Aragaki Yu calmly took two steps forward, shaking off Ooba Akane behind him.

Although a woman with a slender figure was lying behind him, Aragaki Yu felt no eroticism whatsoever, as she was completely soaked. Instead, he felt the sticky, wet sensation on his back becoming increasingly uncomfortable.

Just as he managed to escape, Akane Oba, her eyes full of love, was still unwilling to give up and deliberately stumbled forward. Fortunately, Akemi Miyano, who had been watching them, reacted quickly and grabbed her arm.

"you……!?"

Akane Oba, whose little actions had been stopped, looked at the person next to her with some resentment. Just as she was about to complain, she found that a young lady named Masami Hirota was looking at her with a smile.

Although she was smiling, the expression on her face made Akane Ooba's heart tighten involuntarily. "Th-thank you..."

"Be careful next time, it would be terrible if you broke your face."

Akemi Miyano's tone was somber that it was impossible to tell whether it was a reminder or a warning.

However, when Akane Oba, who was facing Akemi Miyano, heard these words, her face turned even paler.

Only then did Miyano Akemi release Oba Akane, who had finally calmed down.

……

On the other side, Adarai, who used his size advantage to shake off Conan, glanced at Akane Oba hiding behind Yu Aragaki, and his expression became conflicted and angry.

However, after only a moment's hesitation, he rushed toward Aragaki Yu, seemingly not intending to give up easily.

"careful!"

On the other side, Conan, who had just gotten up from the ground, looked at the Andarai rushing towards Aragaki Yu and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He also subconsciously raised the wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun in his hand.

Hearing Conan's exclamation, the Andarai felt a surge of joy.

He could tell from the child's terrified voice that the boy named Aragaki Yu was nothing more than a weakling.

Otherwise, that child wouldn't have been the first to rush out and stop him.

Once I've dealt with this guy named Aragaki Yu, I can make that woman, Ooba Akane, pay the price!

"Hahaha!"

Thinking of this, the Andalai man, who was holding a sharp stone shard in his hand, couldn't help but smile.

As for the stone shard in his hand, it was originally the murder weapon he found in the ore in the fish tank, which he intended to use to slit Akane Oba's throat.

However, Conan would never guess the Andarai's rich inner thoughts.

Andarai didn't know that Conan's "be careful" wasn't a warning to Aragaki Yu, but a warning to himself.

He could never have imagined that when Conan raised his wrist, he would instinctively aim the tranquilizer gun not at himself, but at the seemingly harmless Aragaki Yu.

Of course, the Andarai people's relief did not last long, as they were shocked by the sudden turn of events.

When he rushed to Aragaki Yu with all his might, the figure that was so close disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye.

A sudden, sharp pain shot through his wrist, as if he were being gripped by iron clamps; the force was so great that his bones cracked.

Before he could react, the Andarai felt a sudden numbness in the back of his neck, and a suffocating sensation instantly gripped his limbs and bones along his spine.

The next second, he felt everything go black before his eyes, as if someone had lifted him up. In his dazed state, he only saw his legs kicking futilely in the air, while Aragaki Yu's figure had somehow appeared behind him.

With a dull thud, Andarai was slammed to the ground by Aragaki Yu's over-the-shoulder throw.

The Andarai felt the air in his lungs being violently squeezed out the moment his back hit the ground. The crisp sound of his shoulder blade hitting the gravel, mixed with the numbness coming from his neck, made him see stars.

In the last moments before his consciousness faded, he only heard Aragaki Yu clap his hands and say to the child, "Conan, thanks for the reminder..."

"Um, Aragaki-nii, I wasn't actually reminding you..."

Andalai people: "..."

……

When the Andarai regained consciousness, he found himself tied up and placed on the tatami mat in the living room.

Judging from the occasional glances he received from the group of people chatting nearby, they were clearly waiting for him to come to his senses.

Akane Oba doesn't seem to be in the living room. Did she go back to her room because she was too frightened?

Besides Akane Oba, there seemed to be a few fewer children around the table compared to before.

That's true, after all, children really shouldn't stay up all night.

But why don't that bespectacled kid named Conan and that precocious little girl who seems way too mature for her age go to rest...?

Just as the Andarai was still somewhat confused and pondering, everyone noticed that he had woken up.

Before anyone else could say anything, Kaori Fuga, who was sitting closest to Adachi Raito, rushed over immediately, grabbed Adachi Raito by the collar, and angrily asked, "Raito, what are you doing! Why did you hurt the young lady!"

Although his tone was full of annoyance, everyone could still see a hint of tension and concern in his expression.

The Andalai man, who was brought up by Kaori Fuga, did not resist. He just looked at him with a bitter smile, his eyes full of bitterness and helplessness.

"You scoundrel..."

Kahara Fuga seemed to understand something from his expression, and while stammering, he subconsciously let go of Andarai's hand.

"As a male escort, shouldn't she be a very important customer?"

Although Kahara Fuga seemed to understand something and didn't pursue the matter further, Haibara Ai, sitting at the table, quietly continued to ask.

However, although she was questioning the Andarai people, her eyes unconsciously fell on Aragaki Yu, as if she were reminding or warning him of something.

Seeing this scene, Aragaki Yuu knew perfectly well what Haibara Ai meant.

Feeling somewhat innocent, he could only smack his lips, his mood a little complicated.

Just because I'm handsome doesn't mean I should become a gigolo.

Why rely on looks when you can make a living based on your talent?

Besides, if he really wanted to become a male escort, there were clearly better options around him.

The Andarai slowly began to speak: "Actually... I was originally planning to quit my job as a gigolo soon... because the debt my parents owed from her father's company is finally almost paid off..."

As the Andarai recounted the events, his tone gradually shifted from calm to deep resentment. "I never imagined that last night that woman would say the debt had tripled because she lied to my parents, saying there was a stock that would definitely rise. In the end, my parents ended up owing her even more money. And her purpose in doing this was to make me serve her for the rest of my life!"

At this point, the Andarai man couldn't help but grit his teeth and clench his fists tightly.

Chapter 747 Shota

After hearing the Andarai's explanation, everyone's expressions turned to one of deep sorrow.

Especially Kaori Fuga, who was standing next to the Andalai, could understand his feelings. Looking at the Andalai kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but squat down and gently support the Andalai's shoulders.

……

More than half an hour later, the Gunma Prefectural Police finally located the cabin in the woods.

The officer leading the team was still that unreliable-looking Yamamura Misao, also known as the "number one Muggle in the police force" in Conan's words.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that the village police officer immediately shouted "Mountain Demon Granny" in terror and pulled out a pistol to aim at the old woman upon entering the house made everyone present extremely doubtful of the Gunma Prefecture police's competence.

Fortunately, the old woman was quite magnanimous and immediately saw through the village police officer's personality, so she didn't hold his reckless behavior against him.

After the Gunma Prefectural Police learned about the situation in detail and took away the suspect, Anda Raito, and the person involved, Ms. Oba Akane, the turmoil finally came to an end amidst everyone's complicated feelings.

……

However, when Aragaki Yu and the others returned to their room, they found that the three members of the Junior Detective League were not resting at the time, but were huddled together in a corner of the room, shivering.

Their startled reaction when the room door was opened clearly showed their state of panic.

Conan looked at the three pale-faced children and said with a hint of helplessness, "What are you guys doing instead of resting? The suspect has already been taken away by the police."

"But, but..." Mitsuhiko's voice still carried a hint of panic, "But that old woman has been sharpening a knife in the kitchen the whole time. She must be planning to kill us all after we've all fallen asleep!"

"No...that's right!"

Genta and Ayumi, who completely trusted Mitsuhiko, nodded repeatedly. If it weren't for the fact that the forest outside was becoming increasingly eerie in the dark rain, they probably would have already run outside by now.

Conan didn't seem to care, and instead explained with a smile, "Don't overthink it, it's just a coincidence!"

It's quite normal for elderly people to have trouble sleeping at night and get up to find something to do.

Moreover, from any perspective, that old woman was just a kind-hearted woman with a sharp tongue, how could she possibly have any connection with some mountain demon?

"But……"

Mitsuhiko glanced at Conan, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Actually, the reason that old woman was sharpening her knife was because of her grandson." Before Mitsuhiko could finish speaking, Aragaki Yu suddenly spoke up.
