Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Remi stared blankly at Alice, who complimented her in an exaggerated tone:

“Faced with something like kissing, Lady Remi can remain calm and composed.”

“Seeing how mature Lady Remi is, she must have had many similar experiences before, right?”

The light flattery entered her ears.

With Sakuya's help, Remi finally returned to normal.

Seeing an opportunity to save face, she naturally seized it:

“Hmph, hmph… of course…”

“A mature noble like myself kisses ten thousand people every day, and countless servants bow down at my skirt.”

“Of course, I wouldn’t panic over something as trivial as losing my first kiss!”

Hey, you’ve already revealed it.

You exposed yourself having your first kiss.

Alice saw through it but didn't expose her, just breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Bai also quickly thanked her secretly, luckily Little Alice intervened in time, otherwise, this reward would have been gone.

“...Hmph, I don’t want to talk to you.”

Little Alice, for some reason, suddenly became sullen, and looked at Chu Bai with some shyness and resentment.

Chu Bai scratched his head, women’s hearts are really difficult to understand.

No wonder his master once told him to avoid contact with women as much as possible in the future, and just focus on studying magic.

……

……

“...So where do you want to run off to? To that black and white mouse over there?”

A cold voice sounded.

Marisa, who was about to sneak away, immediately froze and stood in place:

“Ahaha, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to turn off the gas at home, I have to go back quickly.”

“I won’t disturb you, I’m leaving~”

“Hmph, want to escape?”

Before Marisa could run away.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

The next moment, dozens of silver throwing knives appeared around Marisa.

“Waaah!”

Marisa jumped up and down, dodging the knives, while loudly complaining:

“Isn’t this a bit much, Sakuya? I’m just borrowing a little something, why the traps and throwing knives!”

“You still have the nerve to say borrow? Besides, you’ve caused a big disaster this time, actually causing Lady Remi to lose her first kiss!”

“It was an accident, an accident!”

“No use arguing, just accept your punishment!”

Sakuya and Marisa fought.

Remilia came to Chu Bai again.

Although she subconsciously wanted to get closer, she eventually took a half step back, recalling the accident just now.

“Ahem, Chu Bai, what happened just now was an accident.”

“You must forget about that, understand?”

Chu Bai cooperatively replied:

“What accident happened just now? I don’t know anything?”

“Very good!”

Remi nodded in satisfaction:

“I remember the reward for hiring you as a detective this time should be ten thousand yen, right.”

“Sakuya is really stingy, people might think we Scarlet Devil Mansion don’t have money if word gets out.”

In Chu Bai’s suddenly brightened eyes.

Remi lightly snapped her fingers:

“I’ve decided to double your reward first, then add a zero.”

“A reward of two hundred thousand yen, you can take it now.”

“!!!”

T-two hundred thousand??

Feeling the tyrannical aura emanating from that petite body.

Chu Bai directly performed a smooth combo:

“I’ve been drifting for half my life, only regretting that I haven’t met a wise lord! If you don’t abandon me, I’m willing to be adopted as your son ...”

“Wait! How did you suddenly become my adopted son!”

Remilia almost couldn’t hold back.

She took a deep breath, barely maintaining her usual composure:

“Although your destiny is indeed closely related to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, now is not the time for you to join.”

“And more than that, I need to ask you a question.”

“Chu Bai, do you believe in fate?”

Looking at Remi’s serious expression.

Chu Bai thought for a moment, and gave a serious answer:

“That depends on who’s asking me.”

“If Marisa asked me, I would kick her butt without hesitation.”

“But if it’s you, the mistress with the ability to manipulate fate, then I would definitely choose to believe.”

“Is that so…”

Remilia nodded slightly, and then stared at him motionlessly.

Chu Bai didn’t know how to react, he winked at Alice but was ignored, so he just looked at Remi.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Until Sakuya had kicked Marisa out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia retracted her gaze.

And for some reason, the look in her eyes towards Chu Bai… actually had a hint of extremely subtle girlish shyness?

“Oh well, forget it, you can go.”

Remilia sighed and turned to leave.

Chu Bai stared with wide eyes behind her.

What the hell? There’s no follow-up?

Are you a riddle master?

Are you playing 4D chess?

If this were in a novel, you would definitely be criticized by the readers!

But Remilia is, after all, a big spender.

Chu Bai certainly wouldn’t be annoying, he just sighed silently, and then went to find the head maid:

“Sakuya, look at the sun in the sky, doesn’t it look like the two hundred thousand that the mistress just promised me?”

“...Please rest assured, you will definitely receive the reward.”

On the other side.

Alice hesitated slightly, and walked to Chu Bai's side.

“Sorry.”

“Hmm?”

Chu Bai, who was counting the money after receiving the reward, turned his head:

“What’s wrong, Little Alice? Why are you apologizing?”

Alice's expression was a little tangled:

“Because I didn’t pay attention to you just now, and my attitude towards you was also very bad.”

“Actually, I don’t know why this is, but when I saw you and Remi kissing, my mood suddenly became much worse…”

Chu Bai suddenly understood:

“Hey, I thought it was something, this is a very normal psychological state.”

“Normal people would definitely feel uncomfortable if a good friend suddenly made new friends, after all, everyone has possessiveness.”

“So there’s no need to apologize for this kind of thing, even I would have this kind of emotion.”

“...Is that so?”

Alice tilted her head in confusion.

She felt that what Chu Bai said seemed completely different from her mood.

But oh well, since Chu Bai doesn’t mind, then she doesn’t need to dwell on it.

It would be good if this kind of comfortable friendship could continue.

“Okay, Little Alice, don’t dwell on it.”

Chu Bai snapped his fingers, and his tone became generous:

“I made a lot of money today, let’s go eat hot pot, it’s on me!”

“Okay, okay, then I won’t be polite?”

“Don’t be polite at all, we’re close friends!”

The two left the Scarlet Devil Mansion and gradually headed towards the Misty Lake.

The Scarlet Devil Mansion library theft incident came to a successful conclusion.

……

……

【Chapter 13.5】

At the same time.

Inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Remilia sat on the bed, recalling the scene just now.

“There’s no mistake…”

“That extremely powerful power of fate, and the thick and complex lines of fate…”

“No, no, it should be called the web of fate.”

From her perspective.
