Genshin Player in the World of Detective Conan

At this point, Paimon noticed that Ono Yoko was being supported by Yin Kong and was limping.

After helping the popular idol sit on the sofa, Yin Kong immediately said:

"I'm truly sorry to have troubled you today, Miss Yoko. Let me treat your foot injury first."

Ono Yoko nodded slightly. Although her expression was a bit shy, she still nodded:

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Yin Kong chuckled and shook his head:

"Miss Yoko, you're being too formal. This is all part of the plan, so I don't find it troublesome at all."

While the two were talking, Ono Yoko had already carefully removed her shoes and socks.

Paimon immediately exclaimed:

"Wow, it's so swollen."

Ono Yoko's feet should have been fair, slender, delicate, and cute.

Unfortunately, just as Paimon said, her ankle was now severely swollen, greatly diminishing its beauty.

Clearly, her sprain was much more serious than expected, and having been left untreated for so long, it had naturally worsened.

Fortunately, Yin Kong was well-prepared and immediately took out a [Mushroom Chicken Skewer] from his backpack.

"This is--"

Seeing the fragrant grilled skewer suddenly appear in Yin Kong's hand, Ono Yoko couldn't help but be taken aback.

She was no longer shocked by Yin Kong's ability to produce food out of thin air.

However, weren't they supposed to be treating her injury? Why did he suddenly pull out food?

Besides, was this really the time to be eating?

Gurgle gurgle~~

But upon hearing the loud protest from her stomach, the popular idol couldn't help but blush.

After rushing around all afternoon, she was indeed very hungry.

And now, tempted by the aroma of the [Mushroom Chicken Skewer], how could she resist?

Seeing Ono Yoko's extremely embarrassed expression, as if she wanted to bury her head in the sofa, Yin Kong couldn't help but chuckle lightly and explain:

"Try it. It should help with your injury."

Hearing Yin Kong's voice, the popular idol finally looked up.

Although she was confused, she still curiously took the [Mushroom Chicken Skewer] and took a small bite--

Ono Yoko's eyes lit up.

This was too delicious!

She had, of course, attended many high-class banquets and tasted the skills of numerous renowned chefs, so her palate was not unrefined.

However, this skewer in front of her was even more delicious than all the delicacies she had ever tasted, which was simply unbelievable.

By the time Ono Yoko came back to her senses, the [Mushroom Chicken Skewer] in her hand was reduced to a bare wooden skewer.

"How is it?"

It wasn't until she heard Yin Kong's question that the idol, as if waking from a dream, let out a cute groan from her throat, her face blushing like a ripe apple.

This was too embarrassing. She must have been starving, otherwise, why would she have lost such composure?

Seeing this, Paimon asked in confusion:

"Huh? Miss Yoko, why is your face so red? Is the [Mushroom Chicken Skewer] too spicy? No, I distinctly remember that [Mushroom Chicken Skewers] don't use chili?"

Seeing Miss Yoko looking for a hole to crawl into, Yin Kong shook his head with a smile and then said seriously:

"It's nothing, this should be a normal reaction. Miss Yoko, does your foot still hurt?"

Hearing Yin Kong's calm and steady voice, Ono Yoko's shy thoughts were finally brought under control, but she still didn't dare to look up and meet Yin Kong's gaze.

She tried to move her left foot gently as Yin Kong suggested, and immediately gasped in pain.

Looking at Ono Yoko, whose brows were furrowed in pain and whose ankle's redness and swelling showed no signs of receding, Yin Kong also frowned.

According to his calculations, a healthy ordinary adult like Ono Yoko should have a health value between three hundred and five hundred points.

And the delicious [Mushroom Chicken Skewer] could directly restore one-tenth of a character's health plus an additional twelve hundred points.

Theoretically, even if Ono Yoko was on her last breath, after eating this [Mushroom Chicken Skewer], she should instantly become full of life and energy.

Could it be that these dishes that restore health only work on him?

Or perhaps, the dishes Yin Kong made through the system were not as magical as he thought?

These dishes themselves didn't have the effect of restoring health, but rather the [Traveler] themselves possessed the ability to restore health by eating?

After all, even in Teyvat, there didn't seem to be any reason why a fried egg could bring someone back from the dead, right?

If that were the case, the current situation seemed a bit awkward.

Because whether it was before or after I transmigrated, I never learned how to treat a sprained ankle!

I confidently promised to help treat the other person's injuries, only to be completely helpless in the end. I absolutely refuse for that to happen!

However, as Yin Kong remained silent, Paimon finally couldn't help but protest:

"Wait! Yin Kong, why does only Ms. Yoko get [Mushroom Chicken Skewers]? I'm starving too, you know. Listen if you don't believe me!"

As expected, Yin Kong and Ono Yoko soon heard cute rumbling sounds from Paimon's stomach.

Yin Kong chuckled and took out the fragrant [Fisherman's Toast], waving it in front of Paimon:

"Don't worry, how could I forget about you?"

"Hmph, that's more like it."

Looking at Paimon's tsundere expression, Yin Kong could pretty much guess that she was still heartbroken about the little stash of Mora under her shoe sole.

After all, that was a full three hundred thousand Mora, and it was the little one's entire savings.

On the other side, Ono Yoko couldn't help but smile after seeing Paimon's adorable behavior, her feelings of shame and embarrassment rapidly fading.

Help me, Mr. Zhongli!

As for Yin Kong, the moment he finished comforting little Paimon, he immediately called out to his respected old master Zhongli in his heart.

"Treating bruises and sprains?"

As expected, the dear Geo Archon never disappoints.

After hearing Yin Kong's question, Zhongli only thought for a second before offering a set of massage techniques for relaxing tendons, setting bones, and promoting blood circulation.

To Yin Kong's surprise, this set of techniques was very simple and easy to understand.

It was so simple that even Paimon could probably learn it easily.

After confirming he had mastered the basic techniques, Yin Kong looked up again at Ms. Yoko, who was lost in thought:

"Ms. Yoko, I'm going to start the treatment now. It might hurt a little, so please bear with it."

Yoko nodded and said:

"It's alright, please proceed. I can endure a little pain."

Chapter 29: Big Hands of Mi (Not)

The techniques Zhongli taught actually required the assistance of elemental power or qi for optimal effect.

Unfortunately, Yin Kong hadn't had time to master that kind of power yet, so he could only rely on brute force for now. This required him to first understand the bone displacement, meridians, and the distribution of key acupoints.

However, Ono Yoko felt as if Yin Kong's palms were radiating a strange heat, which burned from her foot all the way up to her chest, and then spread to her face.

It made her face flush and her heart race.

"It's coming."

What was coming?

While Ono Yoko was in a daze, Yin Kong's previously gentle movements suddenly changed--

Yin Kong abruptly twisted the ankle of the popular idol. The sharp, stabbing pain instantly dominated almost all of her thoughts, completely dispelling the lingering intimacy from moments before.

And this was only the beginning. In Yin Kong's hands, her foot felt like a ball of clay, being kneaded and shaped at will.

However, this was, after all, the tendon-relaxing and bone-setting technique personally passed down by the Geo Archon.

Ono Yoko soon discovered that although the initial pain was unbearable, after gritting her teeth and enduring it, it transformed into a peculiar, sour, and satisfying sensation of both pain and pleasure.

"Wow, Traveler, when did you learn this trick?"

Watching Ono Yoko whimper and cry out in Yin Kong's hands, Paimon looked on in amazement.

Just as Yin Kong was about to answer, his phone rang.

He paused his movements, took out his phone, and was surprised to see that it was Takagi Wataru calling:

"Officer Takagi, has there been any new progress on the case?"

Takagi's tone was a bit hesitant:

"No, no, Yin Kong, you've misunderstood. I wasn't calling about the case, I just... I just wanted to ask you about something..."

Not related to the case?

Yin Kong was even more confused. He held his phone between his shoulder and ear and resumed his movements:

"Just say what you need to say."

Takagi hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice:

"It's nothing major. I just wanted to ask, Yin Kong, about that yokai you mentioned during the day called Painted Skin, do you have any ways to deal with it... Huh? Did I just hear Ms. Yoko's voice? It sounds a bit strange?"

Yin Kong suddenly understood, realizing that his words during the day had probably really scared the other person. He casually explained:

"It's nothing. I'm just treating her foot injury."

Takagi continued:

"I see. In the legends you know, are there things like omamori or talismans? I want to get one for myself and Officer Sato..."

Hearing Takagi's hesitant words, Yin Kong couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He hadn't expected this blockhead to have a moment of clarity today.

However, the story of Painted Skin was just something he'd said offhand. Although stories like Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio did exist in this world, it was highly unlikely Takagi would be able to find it.

Yin Kong pondered for a moment before speaking:

"I understand, but I'm not very knowledgeable about exorcism...

If anything, I have a few Imperial Coins here. They're said to have the blessings of a deity and can turn misfortune into good fortune. I can give you two if you don't mind."

"Really? Thank you so much."

Takagi was naturally overjoyed, but quickly grew confused:

"But is Miss Ono really okay? I heard her voice sounded like-- Ow ow ow! Officer Sato, why did you hit me?"

"Takagi, meddling in other people's business gets you kicked by a horse, understand?"

Sato glared at her subordinate, full of disappointment, and snatched the phone from his hand:

"Don't mind this idiot, Yin Kong."

Hearing Sato's voice, Yin Kong couldn't help but chuckle.

He had thought this block of wood had finally seen the light, but it seemed Sato Miwako was the one who was scared but too embarrassed to admit it, so she'd called him under Takagi's name.

But as the saying goes, it's best not to expose what you see through. Yin Kong casually said:

"It's nothing. You can come to Cunning Rabbit House to pick them up when you have time."

"Thanks, I'll treat you to a meal when I have time. I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."

Amidst Takagi's aggrieved voice, Sato Miwako decisively hung up the phone.

Yin Kong shook his head and refocused his attention on the treatment.

About five minutes later, he released his hand and looked at the ankle, which had mostly subsided in swelling, nodding with satisfaction.
