The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Her grandson!?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Aragaki Yu in surprise.

“Yes.” Aragaki Yu nodded. “During the routine police investigation, I went to the kitchen to take a look at the knife that Mitsuhiko mentioned.”

"Why!?"

Everyone's gazes toward Aragaki Yu were slightly taken aback.

Mitsuhiko's eyes were filled with emotion, especially since he hadn't expected that among the people present, only Aragaki had taken his words to heart.

At that moment, Aragaki Yu's figure became incredibly tall and radiant in his eyes.

As for Conan, his expression showed a degree of surprise.

If I remember correctly, the only time Aragaki Yu left the living room was when he said he was going to the bathroom.

So, he actually used the excuse of going to the bathroom to sneak into the kitchen to investigate by himself?

hateful!

Aragaki Yu's actions gave Conan a strange sense of familiarity, leaving him stunned on the spot.

At the same time, Ai Haibara curiously followed up on Yuu Aragaki's question, "So, is there something wrong with that knife?"

“Well, if I had to say what’s special about that kitchen knife, I’d say it’s made of really good material.” Aragaki Yu smiled and turned to Ai Haibara to explain, “However, the hilt has the words ‘Shota’ engraved on it.”

"Shota?"

Upon hearing these two words, Professor Agasa, Mitsuhiko, and the others were somewhat puzzled.

Miyano Akemi, on the other hand, seemed to have guessed something, but she just listened quietly with a smile and said nothing.

"That's the old woman's grandson's name."

Seeing that Professor Agasa and the others hadn't reacted yet, Ai Haibara gently reminded them.

"Wait a minute, you don't mean..." At this moment, Conan, who was standing to the side, recalled the things that had made him feel uneasy earlier and suddenly thought of a certain possibility.

“That’s right. I think that Mr. Kahara Fuga is probably the old lady’s grandson, Shota.”

"What?" Professor Agasa pushed up his glasses in confusion. "But didn't the old woman say her grandson went to the big city to be a chef? How could it have turned out like this..."

Dr. Agasa had only spoken halfway when he silently swallowed the rest of his words.

This is probably why Shota uses a stage name and why he refuses to acknowledge his mother-in-law even after returning home.

The old woman saw through this, which is why she didn't reveal anything even though she had already recognized her grandson.

Instead, he allowed his grandson, Shota, to stay at his home as a stranger.

Late into the night, unable to contain her longing for her grandson any longer, the old woman poured all her emotions into the kitchen knife that her grandson had left behind. She went to the kitchen and began sharpening the knife for her grandson, who aspired to become a master chef.

Unfortunately, all of this fell into the eyes of Mitsuhiko, who got up to use the restroom in the middle of the night without knowing anything about it. In addition, the old woman's appearance was very similar to that of a mountain demon, which caused these misunderstandings.

……

It wasn't until noon the next day that the repair company arrived at the accident site in the woods and replaced the spare tire on Professor Agasa's car.

Before leaving the cabin in the woods, the group made sure to express their gratitude to the old woman once again for taking them in.

Mitsuhiko and his children expressed their deepest apologies for their misunderstanding of the old woman.

It's clear that although the old woman has a sharp tongue, she really loves these children.

Just as Mitsuhiko and the others were saying goodbye, the old woman patted the children's heads and told them with a smile, "Come and play again when you have time."

However, seeing the lingering fear on Mitsuhiko and the others' faces, Aragaki Yu knew that they probably wouldn't want to come to this place again.

But who can say for sure about these things?

After all, given the personalities of the Junior Detective League, it wouldn't be surprising if they did anything beyond what Yuu Aragaki expected.

Chapter 748 Goodness, you even use skills while cleaning!

June 19th, Saturday, sunny.

Aragaki Yu glanced at the calendar on the bedside table.

Yesterday was July 20th, Sunday...

The next second, Aragaki Yu silently threw the calendar into the trash can next to him.

After Aragaki Yu left the room, Hotaru, who had been lying on the bed pretending to sleep, quietly got up, hopped off the bed, and rummaged through the trash can to retrieve her calendar.

It's such a shame to lose such a nice calendar.

As the younger sister of the Onmyoji, you must cultivate the good habit of being thrifty and managing the household well.

Ten minutes later, looking at the Japanese book she had neatly placed on the bedside table, Hotaru finally clapped her hands in satisfaction.

Then, Firefly lazily climbed onto the balcony, where the sun was shining brightly.

The dandelions planted in the soil in the pots on the balcony are growing very well.

Then, Yingcao happily pulled the dandelion out of the pot and subconsciously weighed it in her hand.

"Hehe~"

Great, the portion size is much larger now.

……

Good morning!

After Aragaki Yu finished washing up and entered the living room, he bumped into the broom god who was diligently cleaning the house.

Broom God: (^ω^)

It's clear that the Broom God, who took on all the housework, was very energetic early in the morning.

The two little guys, Xiao Tengu and Kaguya, who were originally sitting on the sofa playing Dou Dizhu with Paper Dance, excitedly dropped their cards and rushed to Paper Dance's side as soon as they saw Aragaki Yu come out, leaving Paper Dance staring blankly at the cards in her hand.

There's a royal flush left: four 2s and one 3.

I looked at the few playing cards scattered on the ground.

Goodness, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9...

No wonder the two little guys, Little Tengu and Princess Kaguya, were so excited when they saw me.

So that's because they saw their savior!

The Broom God hesitated for a moment as he looked at the playing cards scattered on the floor he had just cleaned.

Then, Aragaki Yu saw only a flash of spiritual power on the broom god.

The next moment, with a gentle breeze, the Broom God spun around and picked up all the playing cards that had fallen to the ground, sending them back to the table.

Aragaki Yu was slightly taken aback.

Goodness, they're even using skills when doing housework!?

"Broom God!"

The broom god, who was looking at the room he had cleaned with satisfaction, turned his head when he heard Aragaki Yu's call.

"Remember to mop the floor later too."

Broom God: ...

Looking at the broom god, who was slumped over and seemed to be hesitating whether to mop the floor himself or with a mop, Aragaki Yu nodded with great satisfaction.

Lately, when no one else is home, my shikigami have increasingly preferred to stay outside the Yin-Yang Realm.

The Yin-Yang House, which had previously seemed rather deserted, has become lively again.

Thinking of this, Aragaki Yu suddenly looked at the fish tank on the cabinet next to him. It was empty except for a conch soaking in the water.

Huh? Where's my fish?

Ah, no, where's Senhime?!

Slightly surprised, Aragaki Yu looked around the room and discovered that Yoto Hime had dragged Senhime to sit in front of the TV early in the morning, playing games with a controller.

"Good morning, Yaodao-hime and Senhime." Aragaki Yu walked up behind them, squatted down, and greeted them with a smile.

"Good morning... Ha~??? Onmyoji-sama." Senhime turned around and responded blankly with dark circles under her eyes.

Aragaki Yu: "..."

Okay, so it seems they didn't get up early to play games.

Instead, they had been playing games all night.

If you put it that way...

I always feel like something's missing from my home.

Aragaki Yu silently surveyed his surroundings—

Firefly running out of the bedroom carrying dandelions, Broom God mopping the floor, Tengu and Kaguya being pulled back to play Dou Dizhu by Paper Dance, Senhime looking listless in front of the TV and Yoto Hime looking energetic...

That's right, what's missing is cola!

On a summer morning, what better way to go than with an ice-cold can of cola!
