Shibai has not concealed his identity as a sword god from Xie Ye Akiko, so sometimes, Xie Ye Akiko would be a little curious about things related to the god of death.

Most girls don't dislike cute, small things, especially since Shibai is just smaller in appearance and not a naughty kid. He is also very polite, which makes it hard for people to dislike him. This also led to the fact that when she and Akiko Yono didn't have any commissions and had free time, they liked to chat with Shibai.

In other words, it was actually Edogawa Ranpo who was busy all along. And the hardest part for him was getting to the scene. All Fukuzawa Yukichi and Yosano Akiko needed was just company.

Before Shibaku appeared, the only active member of the Armed Detective Agency was Edogawa Ranpo. Now that Shibaku has appeared, how could [Tsurumaru Kuninaga], who loves excitement, let the Detective Agency be as quiet as before!

He even established good relationships with the residents in the surrounding area through the detective agency. He borrowed a small oven and other appliances from someone, occupied the detective agency's office, and tried to make cakes with Ranpo Edogawa and Akiko Yono.

But at this time, Mr. Ranpo would only be the one who tasted the food - of course, when he tried it for the first time, Shibai almost couldn't handle the fact that the oven was overheating.

Afterwards, with a big clown face, Shibai could still smile and say to the president Fukuzawa Yukichi, "Are you scared?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi just looked fierce and never said anything about these things. At most he would just say "Clean the room".

It was through these little things that Shibai easily established a good relationship with Xie Ye Akiko. At this point, he was no longer so distant from Xie Ye Akiko, and could even directly ask Shibai about his physical recovery.

As a doctor, Yoseno Akiko couldn't bear to see someone with injuries appear in front of her. Unfortunately, Shibai was not a human being, so even if she wanted to treat him, she was completely unable to do so.

It is related to Akiko Xie's supernatural powers and treatment. However, after staying in the detective agency for so long, Shi Bai has never seen her use her supernatural powers. He only knows about it.

"Ah... Are you asking about the wound?" Shi Bai sat on the sofa, swinging his two short legs, and said in a light tone, "In fact, the previous injury was more serious than this one, thanks to Mr. Fukuzawa's help!"

"But I was unconscious at that time. After waking up, I would be embarrassed to trouble Mr. Fukuzawa again."

Yosano Akiko didn't seem to understand, so Shibai said more clearly, "After all, Mr. Fukuzawa is not my [Master]."

"When I woke up, I found that I almost had another [master]. It was really a big shock!"

"I see." Yoseno Akiko nodded in understanding. Although she was not sure how Sword Master Occult God was thinking, no matter what, it was indeed a very bad thing to have a manager for no reason without her consent.

"Come to think of it, Tsurumaru, why are you in Yokohama?"

Yosano Akiko had never paid attention to the Hong Kong underworld, so naturally she didn't know how famous [Tsurumaru Kuninaga] was there. And since there was nothing to hide about this matter, Shibai made up a story: "Actually, I don't know much either. I guess I was suddenly summoned when I was sleeping?"

"But as soon as I opened my eyes, I was targeted by a row of people. He became the leader of the Hong Kong underworld...ah, should I say the former boss!" Shi Bai smiled and said, "I haven't paid attention to that place recently. If nothing unexpected happens, the current boss should be Dr. Mori."

I wanted to continue the conversation, but when I looked up, I saw Yoseno Akiko's pupils shrinking, and my body subconsciously tensed and trembled.

I had no idea what the connection was with Xie Ye Akiko and Mori Ogai, but when I saw Xie Ye Akiko's current situation, I immediately knew that I had stepped on a landmine.

When Yosano Akiko was eleven years old, she was forcibly conscripted into the army by Mori Ogai because of her innate supernatural powers. At the beginning, Yosano Akiko didn't want to see the tenderness of the injured, and since she was treating the injuries in front of her, she naturally didn't complain about it.

However, as the war wore on, the members who were once able to talk and laugh could not die or retire because of her. Even if they were wounded to the point of death, they could recover completely in an instant because of her presence...

That is no longer treatment, but torture for both parties.

Even though it has been several years, Yoseno Akiko can still remember the soldier who once smiled at her and then hated her. But Yoseno Akiko recovered quickly, and soon she breathed a sigh of relief, as if everything she had just seen was an illusion.

Facing Shibai's worried and apologetic gaze, Xie Yejingzi and Shibai ruffled his hair and said, "I'm fine."

Shibai realized that he had said something wrong, and when he looked at Yoseno Akiko, who was just suppressing herself and smiling at him, he felt as if he saw his own sister.

After the death of his parents, in order not to make him worry, and after his sister went missing, fearing that he would blame himself, the elder sister always kept smiling in front of him, as if nothing could overwhelm her.

If you don't have any way to vent, and you keep suppressing yourself, you will end up in a bad place.

Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo are obviously not good at comforting others. Even if they can help Yoseno Akiko get over it at first, she will have to rely on herself to solve her psychological problems afterwards.

Now it seems that the way I treated Akiko Yosano was just forcing myself to pretend that I no longer cared.

But how can the damage that has been done be easily eliminated?

Shi Bai blinked and asked calmly and obediently, "Ms. Jingzi, can I make an appointment with you in the afternoon and evening?"

Yoseno Akiko was stunned. Seeing the child pretending to be an adult, she couldn't help but smile and said, "So what does the young master want to do?"

Shi Bai curled his eyes and bent his waist in a gentlemanly manner. As he did so, a pure white light surrounded his body. It was like a special scene when a special ability was activated. The bright light did not overflow, but instead jumped around Shi Bai happily.

In the next second, Shibai's body was no longer so small, his limbs became slender, and his height was much taller than Yoseno Akiko. Tsuru, with his white and smooth hair, put on a white kimono that fit him well, and his temperament was dignified. Shibai kept bending over and smiled at Yoseno Akiko and invited: "Can you give me the rest of your time?"

"I will surprise you."

Yoseno Akiko didn't buy it at all. She gently pulled Shibai's hair and asked, "What's wrong with your hair?"

Shi Bai immediately felt like a deflated ball, and asked in a strange tone: "Was I not handsome at all just now? Why didn't you react at all, Miss Jingzi——"

Yoseno Akiko thought for a moment and replied, "Well... he is quite handsome."

"Why is that?" Shi Bai asked.

"Who knows——" Yosano Akiko chuckled, "Don't try to change the subject, so why is your hair still changing color?"

Shi Bai also pinched a strand of his bangs to observe, "It's not actually a change of color, it can only be considered a recovery, right?"

"Recovered?" Yoseno Akiko grasped the key point, "So you were white before? How did you turn gray?"

"Don't you think changing your hair color is a big surprise? ...Hahaha, I'm not kidding." Noticing Yosano Akiko's serious expression, Shibai could only answer seriously, "Because I thought changing my hair color was fun, I just changed it."

Previously, it changed from colorful black to gray. To put it simply, it was just the hair dye that faded (not really).

It's mainly related to his injuries, otherwise when he turned back to his original form, his hair should have turned white when he returned to human form for the second time. It's just that because of the injuries and the lack of control over his spiritual power, the black color was not completely removed (because Dazai-kun had too many layers of dye and couldn't recover at once?), so it turned into a half-black and half-white state in the end.

In order to facilitate Kitsune's analysis, Shibai also deliberately suppressed his spiritual power to make it easier and faster to end, which allowed Shibai to remain in the state of a child. Moreover, the state of a child saved a lot of spiritual power. During this period of time, he also unconsciously accumulated a lot of spiritual power.

As for the wound... he got used to it, and as long as it didn't affect his daily life, he would forget about recovery after getting used to it.

Yosano Akiko didn't think much about it. According to Shibai's personality, it wasn't strange to dye her hair just for fun.

Moreover, what Shibai said was the truth. Yoseno Akiko naturally believed it easily because of Shibai's attitude, ignoring the slightly strange part.

Seeing Yoseno Akiko no longer bothering with this matter, Shibai spoke again: "——So."

Shi Bai tried to save his reputation, putting his idol's dignity at risk, and refused to give up, "Ms. Jingzi, are you willing to give me the rest of your time?"

Having already been redirected once, Shibai was worried about being interrupted again, so he spoke faster, "It's guaranteed to be interesting, and definitely not a waste of time!"

Yoseno Akiko, who had already figured out that Shibai was asking this question because of what happened just now, stopped teasing him and placed her hand in Shibai's with a smile, "Of course."
