When Aragaki Yu saw that everything in the living room had returned to normal, he opened the door in confusion, wondering who would come to visit at this time.
Good morning, Aragaki-nii-chan!
Yuichi Aragaki opened the door and saw Akemi Miyano standing at his door with a smile, greeting him and carrying two bags of breakfast.
"!!!"
Upon seeing Akemi Miyano, Yuu Aragaki's heart suddenly jumped. He was first taken aback, then unconsciously turned around to glance at Akako Koizumi sitting on the sofa.
Koizumi Akako, who was sitting on the sofa, had a smile in her eyes, but when she heard the voice of the visitor coming from the entrance, her eyes involuntarily narrowed.
The voice evoked a familiar sense of disgust in her.
In an instant, a figure she had seen in a coffee shop flashed into her mind.
"is her!"
Miyano Akemi looked at Aragaki Yu, who was standing there in a daze after the door opened, and waved her hand in front of his eyes in confusion: "Aragaki, what's wrong? Why are you spacing out?"
"Could it be..." Miyano Akemi suddenly paused, glanced at the living room behind Aragaki Yu, and noticed a pair of young women's leather boots in the entryway. A sense of foreboding rose in her heart.
She asked suspiciously, "Is someone here? Is it inconvenient for you to come in, sister?"
"No...no! How could that be, Yami-nee!" Aragaki Yu swallowed nervously, but then immediately realized what he meant.
its not right!
What's there to be nervous about? I haven't done anything shameful.
Moreover, both Koizumi Akako and Miyano Akemi were just ordinary people to him, so why did this scene turn into a scene of catching someone in the act of adultery?
It's all because of the strange atmosphere that Koizumi Akako and Miyano Akemi created at the coffee shop last time; it made me feel quite uncomfortable.
"Come in quickly, Aya-nee!" Suddenly feeling like he had figured things out, Aragaki Yu quickly welcomed Miyano Akemi into the house. "Why did you come so early in the morning?"
After handing the breakfast to Yuu Aragaki, Akemi Miyano changed into her slippers in the entryway and replied, "What do you mean 'suddenly'? This is my job!"
Yuu Aragaki helped Akemi Miyano put away her boots and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "But there weren't any requests today."
After trying on the slippers and finding them to fit comfortably, Miyano Akemi stood up with satisfaction and explained with a smile, "Then I can help you tidy up the Yin-Yang House and do some cleaning! Otherwise, I won't feel at ease taking this salary."
"Sister Yamei, there's no need to go to so much trouble!"
“You don’t need to be so polite with me, Aragaki-kun…” Miyano Akemi said to Aragaki Yu as she walked into the living room, but her voice suddenly stopped when she saw Koizumi Akako sitting on the sofa, smiling and staring at her.
"..."
Zilazila~
Their eyes met.
Aragaki Yu noticed that the atmosphere in the living room had become strange once again.
"Hey, long time no see! Isn't this Ms. Yami? Why aren't you working? What brings you here? Did you get fired for not taking your job seriously?"
Finally, it was Koizumi Akako who broke the silence between the two. Although she was all smiles and her words were very polite, there was no trace of that feeling in her tone.
Upon hearing Koizumi Akako's words, Miyano Akemi retorted without any politeness, "That's exactly what I should be asking! I was wondering why Aragaki looked so uncomfortable, and now I see it's because of Akako! I was wondering why the air here suddenly smelled so unpleasant."
Chapter 147 Born to Clash
"If you're feeling unwell, then Miss Yami should go back and rest. No one invited you here," Koizumi Akako said with a cold smile, withdrawing her gaze from Miyano Akemi.
"Heh, I think it's certain unrelated people who should go back. Don't they know they're just getting in the way?" Miyano Akemi coldly stared at Koizumi Akako on the sofa and responded mercilessly.
Although she didn't know why this guy was here, Miyano Akemi chose to go all out for her sister's future happiness.
She frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "This girl who has appeared by Aragaki Yu's side once again will probably become my sister's greatest enemy."
Seeing this, Aragaki Yu sighed silently and wisely went to the refrigerator to prepare drinks for the two of them.
Clearly, interrupting their conversation at this point would not be a wise choice.
I don't know what's wrong with these two. It's one thing for Koizumi Akako to be so aggressive, but how did Miyano Akemi, with her gentle personality, become so hostile and confrontational?
The two of them are so hostile the moment they meet; are they just naturally incompatible?
Koizumi Akako leaned back on the sofa, her gaze subtly fixed on Miyano Akemi: "I think you're the one who's unrelated, interrupting someone's date so early in the morning."
Upon hearing Koizumi Akako's words, Miyano Akemi was taken aback at first, then immediately sneered. She glanced at Koizumi Akako and said disdainfully, "A date? Is that so? I think it's some shameless people who are harassing my little brother."
These words were quite disrespectful. Aragaki Yu turned his head away, trembling, wondering if Miyano Akemi wasn't afraid that Koizumi Akako would go back and stab her with voodoo dolls.
Oh, right, Yuu Aragaki suddenly realized—Akami Miyano had no idea that the girl she was currently frantically fighting against was a genuine witch.
"What I do is none of the business of unrelated people pointing fingers at me," Koizumi Akako said, brushing her hair behind her ear and looking at Miyano Akemi, enunciating each word clearly.
Since Koizumi Akako became the successor of the Red Magic, she never imagined that anyone would dare to speak to her like that.
Akemi Miyano sneered, "Is that so? Only an immature, self-important little brat would say something like that!"
"Pah! You rude woman!" Koizumi Akako stood up from the sofa, glared at Miyano Akemi, and spat lightly.
"A sharp-tongued little girl!" Miyano Akemi retorted without backing down.
Koizumi Akako: (Angry ｀Д'Angry)
Miyano Akemi: (▼ plate▼#)
Meanwhile, the Snow Woman, who was sitting at the dining table swinging her legs, watched this scene with great interest, wondering whether she should also show up and join the battle.
"Get out of my way, all of you! I was here first!"
……
"Alright, you two, can't you be a little quieter this early in the morning? Come on, have some barley tea to cool down!" Aragaki Yu slowly walked up to the two of them, carrying two cups of refreshing barley tea.
"Humph!"
The two glanced at Aragaki Yuu as he approached, then simultaneously turned to look at each other, snorted coldly, and turned their heads away, ignoring each other.
However, at least they gave Aragaki Yu some face and didn't continue arguing.
Looking at the two frosty-faced guys in front of him, Aragaki Yu could only give a wry smile, because he simply couldn't understand why they were arguing.
He handed the barley tea to the two of them one by one.
After receiving the barley tea, Akemi Miyano smiled slightly at Yuu Aragaki and then sat down on the sofa where he had just been sitting.
Koizumi Akako rolled her eyes at Aragaki Yu, downed her barley tea in one gulp, and slumped back into her seat, huffing, "Hmph! A man who only knows how to smooth things over!"
Looking at the two people sitting silently on the sofa, Aragaki Yu swallowed hard and, amidst the increasingly awkward atmosphere, began to try to find a topic to talk about.
"Sister Yamei, what brings you here today?"
“Little brother Aragaki, oh no, boss! Didn’t I say I’m here to work? Even though there aren’t any requests today, as an employee, I should still help you clean up and organize the documents. If any guests come in, I can also help you entertain them!” Miyano Akemi smiled slightly at Aragaki Yu and explained in a gentle voice. Of course, she emphasized the word “guests” and glanced meaningfully at Koizumi Akako beside her.
“Um, Masami-nee, you don’t need to…” Before Aragaki Yu could respond, Koizumi Akako suddenly spoke up.
She gritted her teeth, pointed at Miyano Akemi with a look of surprise, and said, "Aragaki Yu, could it be that this woman is working for you now!?"
Previously, when Akemi Miyano was in the entryway, Akako Koizumi had vaguely heard words like "work".
However, she never imagined that an ordinary person would work in the mysterious side of the world, like that of an Onmyoji, so she didn't think much of it.
But hearing Miyano Akemi say this to her face, she was still somewhat shocked.
What kind of work could this woman, who is so weak she could not even kill a chicken, possibly do?
Could it be that we're being used as bait for ghosts and monsters?
"Yes, Ms. Yami is indeed helping me with some work right now." To Koizumi Akako's surprise, Aragaki Yu actually nodded.
"Hehehe~" Miyano Akemi looked at the dumbfounded Koizumi Akako and said with a coquettish smile, "Little sister Akako, now you know who the irrelevant people are, right?"
"You woman!" Koizumi Akako glared at Miyano Akemi, gritting her teeth, then turned her gaze to Aragaki Yuu beside her, looking at him with a mixture of grievance and dissatisfaction.
She had even helped him solve a case, but when Aragaki Yu was recruiting people, he not only didn't think of her first, but also found this hateful woman!
Although as a witch, she would definitely not agree to Aragaki Yu's suggestion that she work for him, the fact that he didn't even ask him a question really shows how little he cares about her.
……
Aragaki Yu was completely bewildered by the way Koizumi Akako suddenly looked at him; he had no idea what she was thinking at that moment.
After all, he had never even considered hiring an employee.
Even Akemi Miyano was sent here by her "boss" Gin.
"I……"
Just as he was about to explain something, Yuu Aragaki's cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
He glanced apologetically at Koizumi Akako and Miyano Akemi, then took out his phone and answered the call.
Chapter 148 Reunion with Kidd (1)
"Hello? Oh, it's Sonoko! What's up?... Is it tomorrow? Okay... Okay, thank you so much, Sonoko... Well, that's all for now, see you there!... Bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Yuya Aragaki explained to Akemi Miyano beside him, "It was Sonoko Suzuki on the phone. She called to remind us not to forget the banquet on the Sallybeth tomorrow."
As he put his phone away, Yuu Aragaki made a point of checking the date.
