The road of the demon detective

"Speaking of which, when will Miss Yako get married? Remember to invite me to attend then!"

Mrs. Tukata asked with a smile.

"Ah! Cough cough cough..."

Very rare, Yako Katsuragi choked on the food.

The place where the above-mentioned conversation took place was a high-end restaurant on a commercial street. Mrs. Hijikata, the party involved in the previous case, specially invited her to have dinner here to thank Yako for solving the mystery of her husband's murder.

The meal went smoothly and harmoniously, as evidenced by the plates being removed repeatedly by the wait staff, until Mrs Hijikata asked this terrifying question

"Ahhh, Miss Miko is shy! Oh heh heh heh—"

Mrs. Doji laughed with a voice like a coloratura soprano, trembling with the triple layer of fat on her neck.

"Yeah—ahahaha—"

Yazi wiped the sweat from her forehead with a napkin and smiled dryly.

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Hijikata, Yako was going back to the detective agency.Probably because the food in her stomach hadn't been digested yet, she thought of her wife's problem.

In fact, Mrs. Tukata was not the first person to ask similar questions, even her good friend Ye Hui talked about it on the phone.

Miko slowed down, turned her head and stared at herself reflected in the window glass.

The original short blond hair grew to the shoulders, and the baby fat on the cheeks has been reduced a lot. The pointed chin shows a bit of feminine beauty; the black eyes are still very bright, giving people a feeling of vitality; In terms of height, although it is still completely incomparable with Nero's height, it is actually several centimeters taller.

——The 19-year-old Katsuragi Yako, although she can no longer be crowned the title of "Female High School Student Detective", but she will not be sorry for all mankind if she doesn't get married!

Miko couldn't help touching the window and sighing, but was so frightened by the sudden appearance of a huge face that she almost jumped up.

With a garlic nose and triangular eyes and sausage lips, the owner of the store, who looks like he crawled out of a horror movie, pointed at the sign hanging beside him expressionlessly.The sign reads "Don't stare at the window in a daze, or you will be responsible for the consequences".

"Ah, sorry!"

Mizi hurriedly apologized and left. After walking a few steps, she couldn't help muttering to herself again.

(However, when it comes to marriage, the wedding cake is of course indispensable. It is huge, with several layers, thickly coated with cream, and fruit...)

The saliva in her mouth began to secrete faster.

(Ah, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about!)

Miko shook her head vigorously, shaking off the shiny delicious cake in her mind.

(When it comes to marriage, the bride and groom are naturally indispensable. The so-called groom is actually the name of something after evolution. Before that, the name should be boyfriend, lover...)

Her eyes lit up, and a light bulb symbol popped out next to her head.

(In this way, when you ask questions like 'when will you get married', you actually want to imply that you should fall in love!)

——It has to be said that after staying with Nero for so long, Miko's reasoning ability has also made great progress.

Miko was stunned, then burst out laughing.

(What, I'm only 19 years old, it's too early to talk about this kind of thing!)

"——Liar, haven't you dated at the age of 19?! Too bad! Could it be something wrong?"

"That is to say, I will definitely not be able to marry in the future!"

"In other words, it's an old woman! Hahaha——"

Mizi was hit by three heavy punches and fell to the ground.

She looked over with broadband tears, and it turned out that a group of junior high school students in sailor uniforms were chatting and laughing unscrupulously.

Miko struggled to get up.

(Actually, in retrospect, all the classmates in the previous class seem to have dated, even Ye Hui, no, it should be said that Ye Hui has changed several boyfriends...)

It was as if two huge Chinese characters "failure" fell from the sky and landed on her forehead.

——The former female high school student detective, Yako Katsuragi, at the age of 19, finally realized that besides eating and solving puzzles, there is such an important thing as falling in love in this world.

Can it be said that the spring of Yazi has finally come?Well, what a joy!

(When it comes to dating, of course it means dating, that is to say——)

Little twinkling stars appeared in Mizi's eyes.

(Someone treats guests to a big meal!)

make a fist.

(It's decided! I want to fall in love!)

——Well, although the motive is a little impure, the important thing is the result, isn't it?

At this moment, Miko turned her head and looked behind as if she felt something.

The commercial street was bustling with people coming and going, the group of junior high school students who were chatting and laughing just now had already disappeared in the crowd.

(Strange, am I feeling wrong?)

She shrugged and strode forward.

Yako pushed open the door with the nameplate "Katsuragi Yako Detective Agency".

The nameplate was remade, and it was re-used after Majin's return after being vacant for three years together with this office.

"I am back!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped on a trap and was knocked down by a mechanism that appeared suddenly.

"too slow!"

The demon sitting behind the desk reprimanded.

Two-colored hair, dark green ring-shaped pupils, and a tall figure—there is no doubt the most eye-catching presence in this room.

Feeds on riddles, the devil who came to the human world in pursuit of the ultimate mystery - Brain Gnat Nero.

Mizi sat up, covered the back of his head after being hit, and said with a dry smile, "Because the food in that restaurant is so delicious, I ate a little more without knowing it."

"Did you guys eat all the ingredients prepared by the chef again?"

Former loan shark, current vice president of "Mochizuki Credit Comprehensive Survey", a private investigation agency, servant No. [-], I said with a sneer.

My generation's hair is still cut short, and two lip rings are worn on the lower lip. With a fierce appearance and a look of "I'm upset, I have the ability to beat me up", even if I put on a white-collar suit, I can't Still looking like a gangster.

"My brother, long time no see! Why are you here?"

My agent pointed to a thick stack of documents on the table with his thumb: "Send something here. This guy wants all the unsolved cases that happened in the past three years."

"This guy" he's calling is flipping through pages of documents at a speed that's indistinguishable to a human.

Three years ago, Nero's magic power was completely exhausted in the battle with SIKS, and he had to return to the Demon Realm to recover. Because of the difference in time and space between the two worlds, he came back after three years.

Miko nodded.She looked at Wu Dai and suddenly had an idea.

(If you are in a relationship, my eldest brother may be a good partner. Although he looks a bit fierce, he is actually a very responsible person.)

"By the way, does my eldest brother have a girlfriend?"

There was a pause for a second, and my generation blew up.

"What girlfriend! I'm in charge of all the affairs in the agency. I'm obviously too busy with the current affairs, but I'm still thinking about opening a new branch! All of them are pretending to be the Yoneda Communist Party, so I have to be alone. Come teach me! I'm so busy, how can I find time to find a girlfriend!"

(No, my brother, in fact, you just simply can't find a girlfriend!)

Miko couldn't help complaining secretly.

Nero has two black eyes, pretending to be innocent.

"Since my eldest brother doesn't have a girlfriend, why don't we date each other!"

Miko revealed a bright smile.

silent.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop fifty degrees suddenly.

Miko crossed her arms and looked around.

"Strange, why do you feel suddenly cold?"

Wu Dai stared at the devil behind the table, his body was suppressed by invisible pressure and he couldn't move.

(Damn, I'm dead! This time I will definitely be killed!)

"My eldest brother hasn't answered me yet! Wait a minute, Nero, what are you doing? Ah, pain pain——"

"Bug, since you are so leisurely, come and help me find the 'mystery'. I will definitely keep you so busy that you don't have time to think about such boring things!"

The devil said with an extremely evil smile.

"Eh? Don't—"

While Nero was experimenting with various new joint skills on Miko, Wu Dai hurriedly crawled out of the office.

(Damn monster, wait for me! I will definitely kill you next time!)

My generation swore in my heart for the nth time.
