Chapter 86

At the same time, Koizumi Akako was not yet asleep; on a whim, she took out her tarot cards.

A moment later, a smile suddenly appeared on her lips:

"How interesting. That guy Kuroba seems to have taken the blame for someone."

"However, the person who framed him is no simple character. Who could it be?"

Curiosity welled up in Akako's heart.

Akaso Kaze was very unhappy.

All four black cats had been killed by the men in black.

It had made a mess of blood everywhere.

The bloodstains were easy to deal with; a water element magic spell washed them clean.

Water Pillar Technique is truly a great way to clean up.

But how to deal with the cat corpses and the souls?

Hirota Kenzo in the space became excited.

He had long been looking forward to having cats to keep him company.

He was jumping around, waiting for the cat souls to be collected into the soul space.

Akaso Kaze checked with his Eye of Space; the souls of the four cats were still there, right on their corpses.

Just as he was about to use his hand of intent to put them into the space, he suddenly had a thought and stuffed one of the cat souls back into its corpse.

【Ding, host is self-taught and has created a possessed cat puppet. Reward obtained: Magic Possession Technique (Basic).】

【Magic Possession Technique (Basic): Allows the soul of a human or animal to possess the corpse of a human or animal, allowing the soul to control the corpse to move freely, or to control it using magic threads.】

Akaso Kaze's eyes lit up, and he took Hirota Kenzo out and threw him into the body of a black cat.

You wanted to harm cats, so let's see how you like being a cat.

The possessed black cat showed a confused expression.

It stood up, lifted its two front paws, and then helplessly put them down.

It took a cat-like stroll around, feeling quite curious.

Then it suddenly remembered something and lowered its cat head in horror.

Oh no, it's gone, it's completely gone!

The soul inside the cat body instantly expanded, exceeding the body of the black cat.

Yo, you're angry, huh?

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly.

Magic Drain.

Zzz.

The soul shrank again.

After a few back-and-forths, Hirota Kenzo finally accepted his fate, showing an expression of having lost all hope in life.

"So what if I possessed a female cat? What's the big deal?"

Akaso Kaze curled his lip in disdain.

"Who else wants to become a cat?"

Akaso Kaze glanced at the space.

All eight souls shook their heads.

"Hey, since there are no volunteers, then I'll have to make it mandatory."

Kishida, who lost his head, and Chikako, who was made into a puppet, couldn't be used, leaving only five souls...

Perfect, let's use the three father-in-law and sons-in-law of the Hatamoto family.

Four black female cats stood side by side in front of him, looking blank.

Akaso Kaze threw down a pile of rags.

"Go, clean the room, one cat each. Whoever finishes first can go back to the soul space to rest."

Although the bloodstains were washed clean, the work of drying still needed to be done.

Looking at the four cat puppets with zero motivation, Akaso Kaze showed an evil smile.

"For those who don't finish, I'll throw them outside. I heard there are many stray cats nearby, and they're all male..."

The four cats immediately took action, picking up the rags and starting to clean.

Watching them run back and forth, Akaso Kaze was very satisfied.

This is great; I don't even need servants anymore.

In the classroom of Class 2-B at Teitan High School.

"What? You happened to run into a case again? And with Akaso-san?"

"Damn it! Damn it! Ran, you are just too damn lucky! Why didn't you call me and tell me to come over?"

"I am super into Akaso-san right now!"

Sonoko turned into a fangirl, reaching out and slapping Ran's desk "pop-pop" to show her protest.

Ran gave a sheepish smile: "Sonoko, haven't you been obsessed with Kaito Kid lately? How can you have a foot in two boats?"

"As for Kaito Kid, I'm just his fan."

Sonoko emphasized.

"But it's different with Akaso-san. He's an Onmyoji, he can solve cases, and especially, he's so handsome... Wow, he's really too handsome. Just thinking about him makes me feel excited."

Ran looked at Sonoko and thought to herself: With you being such a fangirl, I'm definitely not introducing you to Akaso-san.

At the Teitan Elementary School next door, Conan was distributing the Detective Badge.

"Wow, this is great."

"With these badges, we can officially become a Detective Group and accept commissions."

"Then we'll have endless money and endless eel rice." This was the greedy Genta.

"I will become the great detective Ayumi, and many people will ask for my autograph." This was the cute Ayumi.

"I will become a cold-case terminator publicly praised by Interpol." This was the dreaming Mitsuhiko.

"I really shouldn't have given these guys badges..." This was the regretful Conan.

"Can you help me find my missing cat?"

This was the squinty-eyed classmate who came to commission the Detective Group.
