After that, Shizumi and Kagami no Kirie also found the Snow Woman smoothly and brought her back to the office. Not long after, the blue-haired girl appeared again and had someone take the Snow Woman away.
"Oh, I never thought that Miss Kasugano could do it so quickly. You helped us find Miss Snow Woman in just one day. Thank you so much."
"You are welcome."
In response to the blue-haired girl's words, Shizuku shrugged her shoulders, and the latter smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Actually...I have a small request."
"Um?"
"I think Miss Kasugano, you've also discovered that I'm not a human."
As she spoke, the blue-haired girl turned around and immediately changed into a kimono as if she were a magical girl.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the guide to the spirit world - Peony. Please give me your guidance."
"I know."
When facing Mudan's self-introduction, Shizuku's expression didn't even change. In fact, she guessed the blue-haired girl's identity the first time she saw her. After all, "Yu Yu Hakusho" is also a childhood memory... As one of the only two heroines in it, how could she forget such a vivid role as Mudan.
Of course, there is no need to tell the other party.
"When you asked me to rescue the Snow Girl, you didn't just want my help, did you?"
"Yes."
Mudan nodded slightly, and then her expression suddenly became serious.
"Actually, this is a test given to you by the spirit world..."
"oh."
However, facing Mudan's words, Shizuku was too lazy to even move. This surprised Mudan a little, but she hesitated for a moment and continued to speak.
"We have paid attention to your actions to repair the Yellow Spring Gate. The actions you have taken in a series of Yellow Spring Gate sealing incidents are very outstanding. Therefore... we hope that you can work for the spirit world and become a spirit world detective..."
After all this time, it turns out to be the fault of the Yellow Springs Gate again. But it's not surprising. After all, the other side of the Yellow Springs is the spiritual world, so it's normal for them to be in charge.
but……
"I refuse."
As soon as Mudan's words came out, she was rejected bluntly by Shizuku.
"Eh? Why? Why?"
Mudan was also shocked to hear this answer without hesitation. She had never thought that someone would be unwilling to be a ghost detective!
"I prefer the freedom of action I have now, and..."
Having said that, Shizuku sat up straight and stared at Mudan.
"If you want me to be a ghost detective, how much is the monthly salary? What about the bonus? How many paid vacations a year? What social security benefits are there? Five insurances and one fund?"
"Hey... this... that..."
Hearing Shizuku's series of questions, Mudan's face suddenly turned pale, and seeing this, Shizuku also laughed inwardly. Just kidding, she knew that in "Yu Yu Hakusho", after Urameshi Yusuke was tricked into becoming a ghost world detective, he went through life and death at every turn and solved so many cases. But the ghost world didn't even pay him a salary, let alone any welfare benefits.
Urameshi Yusuke is a 14-year-old hot-blooded boy who was fooled into sacrificing himself to save the world, but Shizuku won't do that. Besides, Shizuku also knows that the spirit world must have bad intentions in recruiting her.
"Also, my approach is different from yours... You should be very clear about this, Miss Mudan."
"this……"
Hearing this, Mudan was speechless. As Shizuku said, Mudan had actually seen the entire process of them invading the villa to rescue the Snow Girl. She also saw how Shizuku took out Frostmourne and extracted the souls of the dead and imprisoned them.
And for the spiritual world, this is the biggest problem.
The current relationship between Shizuku and the spirit world is a bit like the relationship between Liangshan Marsh and the imperial court. The former is independent of the latter system and can do whatever it wants like a superhero. After all, in another situation, even if the jewel merchant and his subordinates committed many evil deeds, they should be handed over to the spirit world for trial after death, and then a verdict should be made, instead of being directly absorbed by Shizuku into Frostmourne and sentenced to life imprisonment.
So this time when the spirit world came to "recruit" Shizuku, it actually meant that she should not do whatever she wanted, but should act according to the "rules".
If it were another world, maybe Shizuku wouldn't care. But not in this world. Fang Zheng created this clone specifically to come to this world just to let Frostmourne have a full-fledged banquet in the village. As a clone, how could Shizuku agree to such a request from the spirit world? Besides... in terms of strength alone, she is not afraid of the spirit world.
The spirit world hopes that Shizuku can give up the confinement of her soul, but Shizuku only cares about whether Frostmourne has enough to eat. Given the conflict of interests, there is obviously nothing to talk about.
"So sorry, I don't plan on becoming a ghost detective."
Shizuku shook her head. She thought it would be better to leave this kind of job of tricking a little brat to Yusuke Urameshi. She and the spirit world really didn't get along. Just look at Sensui and you'll know.
"If you need to entrust me with something, that's fine, but I won't work for the spirit world, that's it."
"……All right."
After hearing Shizuku's answer, Mudan looked a little dejected, she lowered her head, and then was about to turn around and leave. However, at this moment, Shizuku's voice sounded behind her.
"Wait, Miss Peony, there is one more thing."
"What's up?"
Mudan quickly turned around and looked at the black-haired girl in front of her. Under her gaze, Shizuku just smiled slightly.
"You forgot the closing payment."
“…”
After paying the final payment and leaving dejectedly, Hinasaki Shinku came over curiously.
"Is this okay, Shizuku-nee? The spirit world is that...Yellow Spring? The underworld? Is it really okay to reject them like this?"
"Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything. This is just a test from the other side."
Shizuku shrugged.
"I've told you before, like Masago, the friendship between psychics is accumulated through time and time again. The reason why the spirit world came to me this time was just to confirm my strength and my style of action. Although we have differences in direction, we are both for the sake of ensuring peace in the world. Just knowing this is enough. As for what means to use to solve the problem, there is no problem until the conflict between the two sides reaches a sharp point and is inevitable."
Although Shizuku was a little surprised that "Yu Yu Hakusho" was mixed into this world, she did not intend to participate too deeply in it. On the one hand, "Yu Yu Hakusho" is an orthodox hot-blooded youth comic, which tells the adventure stories of four men: Yusuke Urameshi, Kazuma Kuwazono, Kurama and Hiei. Shizuku always felt a little weird mixing in it.
On the other hand... there are too few beautiful women in "Yu Yu Hakusho"!
Although Hotaru is cute, she is the heroine, and she is a couple with Urameshi Yusuke. That era was not the era of childhood sweethearts being losers. Although there were a lot of people who came from nowhere, they had no chance of winning against childhood sweethearts. For example, Fujisaki Shiori, Yukimura Hotaru, Nanase Miyuki... Are you kidding? How could childhood sweethearts lose? Impossible.
Especially "Yu Yu Hakusho", according to the post-era anime standards, no matter how you look at it, Mudan is the winner. She is a descendant from the sky and is also Yusuke's fighting helper. It can be said that in the comics, Mudan appears far more times than Hotaru. According to the nature of modern anime, Yusuke and Mudan will definitely be together in the end, and Hotaru will silently retreat as a mortal.
However, the fact is that Yusuke's emotional line is always with Hotaru, and nothing messy has ever happened...
Since when did Qingmei become no match for the one who fell from the sky?
Forget it, this has nothing to do with me, right?
Peony is very cute, and the beauty in kimono is great, but Shizuku is not going to give up a forest for a tree. Well, if it's like the harem animation in later generations, the protagonist is surrounded by beauties, such as Kuwayo becoming a hot girl, Kurama being a gorgeous lady, and Hiei being an icy loli... uh, forget it.
What the hell is this...
Of course, there are beauties, such as Huanhai... but time is a butcher's knife.
By the way, if I killed that muscular man, it wouldn't have any impact on Urameshi Yusuke.
Thinking of this, Shizuku pondered for a moment, then put it behind her mind.
Anyway, he is the male lead, so it should be fine.
However, Shizuku also knew that the spirit world would not give up so easily.
Although she did think so, but... she did not expect that the response from the spiritual world would come so quickly.
"…May I ask what you want to talk to me about, Miss Setsuna?"
Looking at the kimono-wearing snow woman standing in front of her, Shizuku felt her face twitching. Because the person in front of her was none other than the snow woman Setsuna whom she, Shizumi Hisahisa, and Kaname no Kirie had rescued from the jewel merchant a few days ago. According to Mudan, didn't she go directly back to the snow woman's hometown, that glacier country or some other place?
But why did she appear in front of him now?
"Well... because I am very grateful to you all, I also want to do my part. Moreover, I have one more thing that I hope to get the assistance of Miss Kasugano..."
“…May I ask what is going on?”
Although Shizuku asked this, she actually already had the answer deep in her heart.
"Actually... I have a brother..."
“…”
See, I knew it.
"...I have never seen him, because he was abandoned by his mother at birth, but I have always wanted to find my brother... That's why I came to the human world, because I can feel that he should be somewhere here."
“…”
"So, I have received permission from the spirit world to stay in the human world, and I hope you, Miss Kasugano, can help me."
Setsuna stared at Shizuku pitifully, clasping her hands.
"I am very confident in my healing power. I will definitely be able to help everyone, so... can you let me stay here, Ms. Kasugano?"
“…”
What would happen if I gave away the spoiler now?
Looking at Setsuna who was begging desperately in front of her, Shizuku couldn't help but find herself facing a dilemma.
