On the rooftop, Yukiko was excitedly circling around the two yokai: "Wow! You guys really know magic? Can you teach me?"
The Snow Maiden chuckled softly, "What would you like to learn, Madam?"
"Just call me older sister~" Yukiko winked and said playfully, "I want to learn how to turn into an ice spike!"
She gestured with her hands, imagining herself as a powerful woman who could conjure ice spikes at will.
Vermouth raised an eyebrow: "What are you going to do with that?"
"Of course, it's to become the Great Onmyoji!" Yukiko said proudly, hands on her hips. "This princess is so smart, I'll definitely learn it in no time! Abe no Seimei? He's just someone who was born too late. Otherwise, who would be the Great Onmyoji is still uncertain!"
Vermouth took an elegant sip of red wine: "Really? Someone won the international Best Actress award after me. Was she born too late?"
"Hmph!" Yukiko pouted defiantly. "Sharon, don't look down on me!"
"I didn't name names, you know~" Bayonetta blinked innocently, but her eyes were full of mockery. "But since someone's taking it personally..."
"You!" Yukiko stomped her foot angrily, then turned and pounced on Hanyu Nan. "You naughty little brother! Look how she bullies me!"
Yuzuru couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, alright..."
He ruffled Yukiko's hair: "But Bayonetta really does have a talent for being an Onmyoji."
"Hmm?" Sister Bei waited with interest for what was to come.
“Look…” Yu Shengnan said seriously, counting on his fingers, “Sarcastic remarks, indirect criticism, and veiled attacks… these are all of Bei Jie’s specialties.”
"puff--"
Pu Siqinglan couldn't help but laugh out loud, then quickly covered her mouth.
Mocking the boss can get you killed.
Sister Bei narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Is my little master praising me?"
Of course~
Yuzuru said sincerely, "These are all high-end skills."
In the 21st century, without some skills like an Onmyoji, you really wouldn't dare to surf the internet.
Seeing her mischievous younger brother speaking up for her, Yukiko beamed with joy, like a child who had just received candy, and excitedly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! Sharon is an Onmyoji!"
She deliberately dragged out the words "yin and yang," with a hint of mockery.
Bayonetta gave a soft snort, then suddenly reached out and pinched Yukiko's cheek, squeezing it slightly until it distorted. She laughed and said, "Looks like someone needs a good lesson~"
"Waaaaah...you naughty little brother, help me!"
While calling for backup, Yukiko quickly bent down, grabbed a handful of snow, and stuffed it into Bei's collar with lightning speed.
The cold snow slid down her collar, making Bei Jie shiver. The two goddesses immediately started playing around in the snow, completely disregarding their usual image.
Yuzuru smiled and shook his head, saying to Yuki-onna and Yoto-hime, "You two go back first."
"Yes, Master."
The Snow Maiden bowed respectfully and vanished as a wisp of snow.
Yaodao-hime silently retreated into the shadows, her figure gradually fading away.
Pu Siqinglan asked softly, "Young Master, are we not going to deal with those two detectives?"
“No need.” Yu Shengnan glanced at the two figures supporting each other as they left in the distance. “They’ll find their own excuses.”
Humans are incredibly adaptable—especially protagonists like Conan, who could probably come up with a "scientific explanation" for himself by tomorrow.
...
Meanwhile, in Beika Town, the cold wind was still biting, making the trees on both sides of the street rustle.
"So..." Hattori Heiji rubbed his frozen hands, trying to warm them up, "was all of that just an illusion?"
Conan adjusted his glasses: "It must be some kind of high-tech holographic projection combined with low-temperature gas..."
"Then how do you explain our injuries?" Hattori Heiji pointed to his bruised and battered arm, the scars clearly visible, a true reflection of what he had experienced that night.
"Uh..." Conan racked his brains, "Could it be... a low-temperature burn?"
Hattori Heiji: "..."
Kudo, your explanation is even less plausible than a monster's!
But the two tacitly agreed not to delve any deeper—some things are better left unsaid.
After all, they are used to viewing the world through the lens of science and reason, and delving deeper into such illogical matters will only further shatter their worldview.
......
On the other side, Yukiko finally broke free from Vermouth's "clutches," angrily tidying her messy hair, which flew wildly in the wind.
She pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "Sharon, you're so mean!"
Vermouth elegantly adjusted her sleeves: "Likewise~"
Yukiko's eyes darted around, still not giving up on her idea of learning magic, but this time she wasn't fixated on learning from yokai: "You naughty little brother! I want to learn Onmyo magic!"
Learn the art of Yin and Yang, and beat up your best friend.
"Are you serious?" Yuzuru raised an eyebrow.
"Of course!" Yukiko patted her chest confidently, "This princess is so smart, I'll definitely learn it in no time!"
Sister Bei chuckled: "I'm afraid you'll fail as soon as you start learning."
"You!" Yukiko was about to explode again.
Yuzuru quickly smoothed things over: "Alright, since my dear sister wants to learn..."
He snapped his fingers and produced a blank sheet of paper out of thin air.
With a gentle shake, the white paper instantly burst into flames, which leaped in the night wind and gradually transformed into a lifelike little firebird, circling and dancing around Yukiko.
He doesn't know any Yin-Yang techniques, but he has a lot of cheat codes!
A pure white folding fan quietly appeared in the void.
"Wow!" Yukiko reached out to touch it in surprise, but the firebird nimbly dodged away and finally landed on her shoulder, affectionately nuzzling her cheek.
The flames emitted a warm glow, but did not burn her skin.
"So cute!" Yukiko's eyes sparkled.
She looked carefully at the little firebird on her shoulder, afraid that she might scare it away if she wasn't careful.
Yu Sheng Nan smiled and said, "This is the most basic Yin-Yang technique. Try to establish a connection with it first."
Yukiko immediately became serious, and following the instructions taught to her by Kusuna Hanyu, solemnly chanted the incantation to the Flame Bird: "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"
The firebird tilted its head but didn't react.
"Pfft..." Sister Bei couldn't help but laugh.
Yukiko was unconvinced and tried several more times, but the firebird remained unmoved each time. Finally, it simply flew back into Hanyu Nan's hand and turned into a burnt-out talisman, leaving only some ashes floating in the air.
"Waaah..." The superstar looked at Yuzuru with a pitiful expression, tears welling up in her eyes, "It doesn't like me..."
“It’s not that you don’t like it…” Yu Sheng Nan explained with a suppressed laugh, “It’s just that your spiritual power isn’t enough.”
"What should we do then?" Yukiko blinked her big eyes.
Yuzuru Hanyu had been building up to this question for so long: "Perhaps... we can do it another way..."
He leaned close to Yukiko's ear and whispered a few words.
