Chapter 246

A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd on the pier.

Kogoro Mouri immediately became excited.

"Are they here to welcome me? I never thought I'd be so popular on the island."

Conan wore a dead fish face and said unhappily, "Uncle Mouri, didn't you see the words on those banners? They say 'Welcome Lord Onmyoji'."

Looking at the grand scene on the pier, Akaso Kaze touched his nose, speechless.

I'm an Onmyoji, but in this situation, why does it feel like I'm a celebrity?

Takeo Mikami, standing nearby, immediately said, "Lord Akaso, the residents of the island all know you're coming. Everyone believes you will definitely be able to help us, so they came here to welcome you."

"Uh, too enthusiastic. Don't worry, I will solve the matter here."

Akaso Kaze waved at the islanders, which immediately triggered another round of cheers.

"Big brother, you're so handsome! Are you the most powerful Onmyoji in Tokyo?"

Akaso Kaze lowered his head to see a little girl with twin tails looking at him with glowing eyes.

The little girl's gaze reminded him of Sonoko, that fangirl.

"Rei, it's very rude to treat guests like that. Lord Onmyoji, please don't mind; this is my daughter, Rei Mikami."

Takeo Mikami hurriedly apologized.

"It's fine, the little sister is very cute."

Akaso Kaze smiled and rubbed the little girl's head.

"Then, Onmyoji brother, can you give me a hug?"

Rei Mikami's eyes showed a cunning look.

"Of course." Akaso Kaze scooped up the little girl.

Rei Mikami hugged Akaso Kaze's neck and whispered in his ear, "I heard it's very popular to date people younger than yourself now. What does brother think of me?"

Akaso Kaze felt a line of black sweat appear on his forehead.

The lolis on this island are too precocious.

Did they eat too many oysters?

Akaso Kaze walked toward the residential area under Takeo Mikami's guidance.

The islanders behind them followed closely, like a celebrity's fan club.

The group went directly to the most high-end hotel on the island. ===== CHAPTER 248 =====
