Shuchi'in Academy Elementary School.
In Class 1-B, the homeroom teacher, Kobayashi Touko, dressed in her tailored teacher's suit, spoke gently.
"Everyone, let's welcome our new student!"
Asa stepped forward and introduced himself.
"Hello, everyone! My name is Shiraishi Asa!"
His clear, youthful voice echoed in the classroom. All the elementary school students stared at Asa by the lectern with curious eyes.
"He's so handsome!"
"He's so cute!"
The young girls gasped, covering their mouths. Asa's face, which was universally appealing, was on full display at that moment.
Asa scanned his future classmates and, sure enough, spotted a few familiar faces.
"Conan... and the Junior Detective League?"
However, he didn't see Haibara Ai, who was quite popular in his past life.
"Has she not ingested APTX4869 yet?"
Kobayashi Touko found a seat for Asa.
"Shiraishi-kun, you can sit behind Yoshida-kun."
As soon as Asa sat down, Yoshida Ayumi turned around with an excited and curious look.
"Hi, Shiraishi-kun! I'm Yoshida Ayumi! You can just call me Ayumi!"
Asa ignored Genta and Mitsuhiko, who were glaring at him, and nodded.
"Hello, Ayumi-chan."
Although Ayumi was enthusiastic, Asa wasn't very interested in elementary school students. After a brief exchange, he stopped talking. The elementary school lessons were also boring to him. Still, the gossip from Genta, Mitsuhiko, and the others was somewhat interesting.
What surprised Asa was that in this world, Conan, or rather, Kudo Shinichi, seemed to have only a casual relationship with Mouri Ran, just being normal neighbor friends. Conan was also only living with Professor Agasa. Well, since this was a chaotic crossover world, it was normal for character relationships to differ from the original source.
Soon, it was time for school to end. Asa politely declined invitations from the other students to play and made his way to the high school division entrance.
The handsome, bookbag-toting little shota standing there instantly captured the attention of the high school girls.
"Wow, what a cute little shota!"
"He's wearing the elementary school uniform! He looks so well-behaved!"
"I can't handle it, I just want to pinch his little cheek!"
For high school girls, any cute thing was irresistible. Asa's appearance was at the very pinnacle of cuteness.
Within minutes, he was surrounded by a chattering crowd of girls.
"Little one, what are you doing here?"
"Waiting for my sister."
The soft, childlike reply, tinged with a hint of baby talk, provoked a wave of excited squeals from the girls. The constant chirping noises surrounding him made Asa decisively shut his mouth.
Through the crowd, he vaguely spotted Yukino's figure.
"I see my sister!" Asa quickly squeezed out of the crowd and ran toward Yukino.
The girls watched Asa's retreating back with lingering reluctance.
"Hey, isn't that Yukinoshita-senpai from the second year?"
"Is that little shota her brother?"
"He's so cute, I'm so jealous of Yukinoshita-senpai..."
At that moment, seeing Asa "abandon" the crowd of girls and run straight toward her, Yukino's clenched fist gradually relaxed.
"Hmph..."
For some reason, she felt inexplicably annoyed when she saw Asa surrounded by that group of girls just now.
"Yukino-neesan, let's go." The little shota trotted up to her and actively took her hand.
The inexplicable displeasure in Yukino's heart instantly vanished.
"Next time you encounter a situation like that, just call the police immediately!"
"Mhm..."
'As expected of Yukino, she immediately found the most deterrent method,' Asa thought to himself.
She gave a small nod. Asa's small palm was soft and delicate, making Yukino even feel a desire to gently hold and play with it. She subtly squeezed his hand, suppressing the thought.
For some reason, every time she got close to Asa, she felt an inexplicable joy in her mind and body.
Leading Asa to the clubroom for the Service Club.
"It's just me here. You can sit and do your homework or read here."
"Okay."
As soon as Asa sat down, a charismatic, mature voice came from behind him.
"Yukinoshita, kidnapping shotas isn't a very good look, you know."
Yukino replied without lifting her head. "Hiratsuka-sensei, I believe I told you to knock before entering."
"Well, teaching is just so tiring. Lately, I don't even have the strength to knock."
Yukino looked up and saw that the normally glamorous and refined woman, Hiratsuka Shizuka, actually had faint dark circles today, and a tired look on her beautiful face.
"If you want to complain about your work schedule, Hiratsuka-sensei, you should talk to the principal!"
"You're too cold, Yukinoshita!" Shizuka's gaze turned to Asa, who was sitting nearby, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange delight.
"You must be Shiraishi Asa, Asa-kun!"
Yukino looked at her, clearly surprised.
"Heh-heh, Haruno told me all about him last night, the super cute little brother!"
Shizuka crouched down beside Asa, her slender fingers lovingly kneading his cheek.
"Ah, he truly is cute. I feel like all my fatigue for the day is being cured."
A smile played on Shizuka's lips, but she noticed that Asa's gaze remained fixed near her ear.
"Asa, what's wrong?"
Asa shook his head. He shifted his gaze from the evil spirit clinging to Shizuka's neck and resting on her shoulder.
"Hiratsuka-sensei's earring is very pretty!"
"Asa-kun is so sweet!"
"Teacher will take you to get a snack!"
"Yukinoshita, I'm taking Asa-kun to the office to grab some snacks!" With that, Shizuka directly swept Asa into her arms without waiting for a reply.
In the hallway, the evil spirit on Shizuka's shoulder was violently agitated. It had noticed! This shota could see it!
This made the evil spirit start to shriek maniacally, desperately wanting to devour him. But the aura radiating from Asa made it fearful. It didn't dare to approach him immediately.
The spirit's voice grew more frantic, and the horrifying long hair wrapped around Shizuka's neck began to constrict. Shizuka suddenly felt difficulty breathing.
"Hiratsuka-sensei!"
"Hmm? What is it?" Shizuka caught her breath and turned her head.
At that moment, Asa reached out and flicked his finger near her ear.
Poom!
The frenzied evil spirit instantly vanished into thin air!
[LV1. Psychic Exorcism: Within the range of the Psychic power, forcibly banishes all foul spirits and corruption in the world, regardless of their strength.]
[Note: The range for LV1 Psychic power is 10 cubic millimeters.]
Ignoring strength, this was undoubtedly an incredibly powerful ability. The only pity was that the range was too short.
It wasn't a good match for his Incubus's reach.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, there was a bug by your ear just now."
Shizuka suddenly realized her breathing was smooth again, and the fatigue that had been pressing on her shoulders instantly disappeared.
Accidentally, Asa's hand brushed against Shizuka's earlobe.
In that instant, an indescribable, strange sensation went straight to her central nervous system.
"Mmm~"
