The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Dating?

How could that be? I've been by the Onmyoji's side all day, and I haven't seen any shameless guys trying to ask my Onmyoji out!

……

After observing for a day, Sera Masumi also noticed that just as Ran was incredibly attractive to the boys in the class, Aragaki Yu was also extremely popular among the girls.

Therefore, she has no doubt that if Yu Aragaki were willing, there would be plenty of girls willing to spend time alone with him or even go on dates with him.

Yuu Aragaki didn't take Sera Masumi's teasing to heart, but he still explained to Ran, "Although I really want to go, I need to go home and prepare properly tonight because of the request I received."

"A commission!?"

This time, before Ran could react, Sera Masumi's eyes lit up. "Hey, Aragaki-san, you haven't taken on another case, have you?"

Excitedly, she moved closer to Aragaki Yu, and before he could back away, she leaned in so close that her nose almost touched his face. She stared at him without any shyness, her dark green eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.

"No...nothing..."

In an instant, warm breath, carrying the sweet scent of oranges, rushed straight into Aragaki Yu's nostrils.

Snow Woman: (╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻

The next moment, as Aragaki Yu took a slight step back, Ran pulled Sera Masumi aside and whispered something in her ear.

Xiaolan: "..."

Sera Masumi glanced at Aragaki Yuu in surprise, "Huh!?"

Although Ran's voice was very soft, Aragaki Yu still heard her whisper to Sera Masumi.

However, it's nothing more than things like "Onmyoji" and "demons and monsters".

……

"Okay." After chatting for a few more minutes, Xiaolan shrugged and said, "Then I'll go back with Shiliang. Let's get together properly next time we have time."

"Mm." Yuu Aragaki nodded. He naturally wouldn't refuse Ran's invitation.

"It's a deal!" Sonoko put her arm around Ran's shoulder. "Next time I'm definitely going to plan something really fun!"

Hearing Sonoko's words, Aragaki Yuu's heart also began to look forward to it.

After all, gatherings arranged by the garden are generally not simple.

If a few people didn't die, it would be a disservice to the Grim Reapers of Beika Town who were attending the party.

After parting ways with Ran and the others at the intersection, Yuuya Aragaki did not go straight home, but instead headed towards the convenience store.

Firstly, there wasn't enough ice cream left in the refrigerator for the Snow Woman and the others; secondly, he needed to buy some things to prepare for tomorrow's events.

However, the request that Aragaki Yu mentioned this time was not a work-related matter.

It was because early this morning, Professor Agasa led Ai Haibara to the front of Yuu Aragaki's house.

At that moment, Professor Agasa pushed up his round-framed glasses that had slipped down to the tip of his nose, a slightly reserved smile on his face, and rubbed his hands together as he explained his purpose, "Aragaki, I'm planning to take the kids camping in the countryside tomorrow, thinking it would be more fun with more people, I was wondering if you'd be free to come along?"

Ai Haibara stood to the side with her arms crossed, her eyes downcast as she stared at the tips of her shoes. She seemed nonchalant, but she was secretly watching Yu Aragaki's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

After the unexpected incident during the last camping trip, Dr. Agasa realized the necessity of bringing an extra helper to look after the children.

Since he didn't have any special plans, Aragaki Yu readily accepted Professor Agasa's invitation.

Of course, with Ai Haibara's "casual" reminder, Yuu Aragaki agreed to inquire about Akemi Miyano's accompanying him.

After receiving a positive reply from Akemi Miyano over the phone, Yuu Aragaki clearly noticed that Ai Haibara's breathing had become lighter.

However, I didn't expect that even though I had only attended classes for one day, tomorrow would already be the weekend.

The students in the world of Detective Conan are really...

How happy!

……

Thinking about it this way, Conan should be at Professor Agasa's house with the Detective Boys at this time.

According to Professor Agasa, in order to be able to leave early tomorrow morning, the children will pack their things and gather at his house tonight.

Sera Masumi's plan to approach Conan under the guise of visiting Ran's house has probably already largely failed.

Chapter 739 The Mountain Demon Granny (1)

"Squeak-"

In the mountains and forests of Gunma Prefecture.

With a sharp screeching sound from the tires, the car came to a violent stop.

In the back seat of the car, Ai Haibara held onto the back of the front seat to steady herself, while Ayumi's head hit the cushion with a "thud".

The next moment, she rubbed her forehead and asked blankly, "Sister Yamei, what's wrong?"

Akemi Miyano rested her hand on the car window, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the car decal.

Just a few meters ahead, Professor Agasa's yellow beetle suddenly stopped halfway.

She watched as Professor Agasa scrambled out of the driver's seat to check the tires, and gave a helpless smile. "I think it must be Professor Agasa's car that had a flat tire."

"Another flat tire!?" Hearing Miyano Akemi's words, Haibara Ai rolled down the car window with a dark expression and leaned out to look. "Professor Agasa not only took the wrong route seventeen times this time, but now he's even had a flat tire in this deep mountain forest..."

"Yes, that's why I told Professor Agasa a long time ago that it's best not to take side roads to avoid traffic jams." Conan, who had been observing the surroundings since getting out of the car, had obviously heard Ai Haibara's complaint and chimed in helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do about it!" Professor Agasa explained with a wry smile after confirming that the car's tires were completely punctured by the rocks. "I was thinking that even if I got lost, I'd have my phone's GPS, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about!"

Yuu Aragaki opened the car door and got out of the passenger seat, walking over to Professor Agasa. "I didn't expect there to be no signal in this area, did I? I think you should take out the spare tire first, and we can change it together and head back the way we came!"

“Um, but…” Upon hearing Aragaki Yu’s words, Professor Agasa paused, then his expression turned awkward. “I’m really sorry, but because I just replaced my tires and had a lot of luggage, I didn’t bring a spare tire…”

"This is a headache..."

Even Conan was starting to feel helpless. "Because of the traffic jam and getting lost, we've wasted a lot of time. It's completely dark now, and none of us can find a ride back. Plus, there's no cell phone signal around here. Looks like we'll have to sleep in this desolate place tonight..."

"what……"

The children who ran off the car immediately looked dejected after hearing Conan's words.

"What do you mean? We're here for camping, aren't we? We've brought all the necessary camping gear!"

Ayumi explained weakly, "But don't you think... this mountain feels a bit strange?"

Mitsuhiko and Genta looked around and both shuddered. "It feels like a ghost could pop out at any moment, right?"

"That's right, that's right, like man-eating monsters, and mountain witches and the like!"

The surrounding scenery was eerie, completely different from the camping environment they had imagined.

If you were to camp in a place like this at night, heaven knows what terrifying things might happen.

"Don't worry, how could such a thing possibly happen!" Professor Agasa reassured them with a smile.

However, the words had barely left his mouth.

Ai Haibara suddenly spoke up, "But, if we're talking about houses with that kind of feel, there really are some, over there..."

"what!"

"what?"

Following the direction Ai pointed, everyone saw a solitary house standing not far from the forest.

"Hey, could it really be..."

"It must be the mountain nymph's house..."

Genta and Mitsuhiko's voices sounded somewhat trembling.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Although there were a few lights on in the house, a wooden cabin hidden in such a remote forest could easily evoke images of something frightening.

Conan rolled his eyes in exasperation at the children's nonsense. "Idiots, you know that's impossible!"

Ha, in a world that believes in science, how could there be such things as demons and monsters?

Just as Conan was thinking this to himself, Conan, unaware that the Snow Woman had floated above his head, suddenly felt a strange chill creep up his spine and instinctively shivered.

The next second, Conan also inexplicably felt guilty. "Heh... how could that be... there would be demons and monsters... heh heh..."

At the same time, Professor Agasa walked towards the house. "Yes, that house looks quite big. I'll go and see if I can stay there for the night!"

When Ayumi and the others heard Professor Agasa's words, the thought of possibly having to live in that gloomy house filled them with fear. "What! We have to live there!"

Aragaki Yu took a few steps and came to the children's side. Looking at the house not far away, he muttered, "But it is indeed a bit strange. In such a deep mountain, there is only such a big house."

“Yeah…” Haibara Ai, perhaps because she was in a good mood after seeing her sister, suddenly chimed in with a wistful tone, “Hmph, don’t you guys think it’s beckoning to us? Come on, come on…”

"what……"

In the eerie surroundings, Ai's voice made the Junior Detective League members tremble with fear.

However, before long, Akemi Miyano, who had parked and turned off the car, reached out and touched Ai Haibara's head, saying, "You can't scare those children like that..."

"well……"

Hearing her sister's words, Ai Haibara blushed slightly and turned her head away in embarrassment.

“However, compared to camping in a place like this, I think it would be safer to stay in a house for the night!” Aragaki Yu glanced at the children who were standing there hesitating and reminded them with a smile.
