Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

“I won't mention the first half of the incident; the Scarlet Devil Mansion was once again caught in the crossfire…”

“But I was quite satisfied with the performance in the second half.”

“Especially the sacrificial ritual involving the villagers and the resulting crimson frenzy. Its style was perfectly in line with vampires.”

“If Sakuya hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to personally help you out!”

Chu Bai immediately smiled slightly:

“You flatter me, Miss. My intention was merely to proclaim the power of a magician, and in the end, I still regrettably lost.”

“It doesn't matter. Just remember to call me next time something like this happens.”

The two lightly clinked their glasses together.

Looking at Chu Bai's smooth neck, Remilia suddenly licked her lips slightly:

“By the way, Little Bai, can I have a little more of your blood? Just a little bit?”

“Hmm? Sure.”

As he said that, Chu Bai proactively extended his neck.

But Sakuya hurriedly stopped her, directly carrying Remilia away:

“I apologize, Mr. Chu Bai. I suddenly remembered something important. Let's talk about the blood-drinking another time.”

She also whispered in Remilia's ear:

“Miss, have you forgotten what happened last time?”

“Do you want that kind of situation to happen during the banquet… and then in front of everyone…”

Remilia finally realized, her little face blushing slightly, and said:

“Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for reminding me, Sakuya.”

“Then let's just wait for another opportunity…”

……

……

After the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Next to approach Chu Bai were his companions.

These were all friends who had caused the incident together, so Chu Bai was not wary and drank with them without any reservations.

His alcohol tolerance wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

After a few rounds, he felt a little dizzy.

So he found a corner, planning to sit down and eat something to sober up first.

But suddenly, an elegant and gentle voice sounded beside him:

“Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?”

Chu Bai turned his head.

A familiar figure came into view.

The black-haired girl he had met once in the Human Village was now standing beside him, politely asking:

“May I sit here?”

Perhaps a bit tipsy, Chu Bai blinked his eyes.

The face of this black-haired girl was faintly…

Gradually overlapping with the image of his master in his memory?

Chapter 113: Reimu's Little Feet, *hissing sounds*…

After a brief moment of confusion.

Chu Bai shook his head slightly, regaining his clarity.

It was quite rude to stare at someone like that.

So he shifted his gaze and straightened the cushion beside him:

“No one's here. Please, have a seat.”

“Thank you.”

The black-haired girl stepped forward, bent her legs slightly, and sat down beside Chu Bai.

She didn't initiate a conversation, as if she had simply found a quiet spot at the banquet to drink by herself.

But Chu Bai couldn't help but speak up:

“Miss, may I be so bold as to ask your name?”

“Hmm?”

The black-haired girl slightly turned her face, and a hint of contemplation seemed to flash in her dark eyes.

As if understanding Chu Bai's implication, she slightly pushed out her hand to refuse:

“I'm sorry, you're a good person, but I have no plans to get married, so I can't reciprocate your feelings…”

“Wait, why are you suddenly giving me the 'nice guy' card!”

Chu Bai immediately couldn't hold back:

“Don't misunderstand, I'm not hitting on you.”

“I'm just simply asking your name, because you look so much like my master.”

The black-haired girl then nodded in realization:

“I see, so this isn't hitting on me?”

“No!”

“Then… suggestive confession?”

“Even less so!”

Seeing Chu Bai's clear eyes without any impure thoughts.

The black-haired girl then realized she had misunderstood him, and slightly shifted her gaze:

“Speaking of which, you always mentioned your master when we met.”

She didn't directly answer Chu Bai's question.

Chu Bai didn't continue to press, but instead continued with her topic:

“That's right, my master also had black hair and black eyes, and exuded an amiable aura.”

The girl blinked her eyes, seemingly casually asking:

“Then… what is your impression of your master?”

“Impression…”

Chu Bai took a sip of the banquet's wine, and slightly fell into past memories:

“She, like you, had a dignified and elegant demeanor.”

“But in reality, her personality was quite mischievous, and in some ways, she was a bit of an airhead, completely lacking common sense…”

He didn't know why.

Being with this black-haired girl always gave Chu Bai a strange sense of intimacy, making him unable to help but start confiding in her.

And the black-haired girl didn't interrupt, just listening quietly.

Until the end, after revealing all the stories of his master, Chu Bai sighed leisurely:

“It's just a pity that she has already passed away, and I have tried many methods but couldn't revive her.”

“She probably has already entered reincarnation and started over.”

The topic became somewhat heavy again.

The black-haired girl slightly lowered her head, seemingly thinking about what she should say.

Chu Bai reacted:

“Sorry, I brought up such an unpleasant topic again.”

“But it's really strange, it seems that as long as I'm with you, I can always recall experiences related to my master…”

The black-haired girl gently shook her head:

“It's okay, I won't be disheartened because of it.”

“Rather, regarding your master, I actually have some personal guesses…”

The girl took a sip of wine, her expression seeming a bit hesitant.

But seeing Chu Bai's curious gaze, she finally slowly opened her mouth:

“You say, is there a possibility… just saying a possibility…”

“That actually your master… didn't die?”

“She just couldn't stay in this world for some reason, and had something she had to do, temporarily unable to escape…”

Chu Bai slightly shook his head:

“Impossible, absolutely impossible.”

“If it's really such a simple misunderstanding-based plot, the readers would definitely scold it for being cliché.”

“Master is already dead, and I have personally buried her body, there is no doubt about that.”

Seeing the black-haired girl's somewhat strange expression, Chu Bai added:

“But in any case, thank you for your comfort, and thank you for being willing to listen to my story.”

“…………It's okay.”

The girl didn't say more, just silently sipped her wine.

As for Chu Bai, who was already a little tipsy, he was now even more drunk.

He didn't use magic to dispel the alcohol, after all, enjoying the intoxication was one of the pleasures of the banquet.

So as the alcohol gradually took effect, he slowly lay down on the table, falling into a nap.

As he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the girl beside him slightly moving her lips.

“Have a good dream, Little Bai…”

……

……

This sleep was very sound.

Chu Bai seemed to return to his childhood, to the peaceful time he spent with his master.

When he opened his eyes, the banquet was almost over.

The girls had already dispersed, and the black-haired girl beside him was also gone.

“Haa~~ yawn~~”

Chu Bai stretched lazily, somewhat groggily looking around.

It wasn't until he saw Reimu constantly packing up the leftovers that he suddenly reacted.

Crap, I was so busy sleeping just now that I forgot to pack up!

At the very least, I have to take away the expensive wine, at least to get some of my money back!

“Reimu, I'll help you!”

Chu Bai flipped over, quickly rushed to Reimu's side, and prepared to snatch the takeout bag from her hand.

Reimu then nimbly turned around, and kicked his stomach with one foot:
