Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"...I was just joking."

Chu Bai glanced at Yoyosaki, who had already run far away:

"Just don't use our proprietress as a snack."

"Oh my, although the taste of crushed bones is indeed not bad, I wouldn't casually eat someone I know."

Yuyuko's voice sounded as soft as cotton:

"I came here today just to have a midnight snack, nothing else."

"Is that so?"

Chu Bai immediately gave her a suspicious look.

Saigyouji Yuyuko, as the actual ruler of the Netherworld, was definitely not as airheaded as she appeared on the surface.

And in their brief encounter, Chu Bai had deeply experienced her terror.

Single-handedly, she managed to bankrupt his huge buffet restaurant, costing him a full three gold bars.

She depleted his wealth to maintain the business balance of Gensokyo, and also tested his limits, roughly estimating his strength at the time.

Plus, as a friend of the cunning Yakumo Yukari, it was impossible for her to run all the way from the Netherworld just for a midnight snack.

Thinking this, Chu Bai immediately decided that less trouble was better than more, and prepared to pick up the broom and start shooing her away:

"Ah, business is too booming today, we've run out of ingredients. The two of you should come back another day..."

"You're lying! It's only been ten minutes since you opened!"

The little follower Youmu couldn't help but speak up.

Yuyuko looked at Chu Bai's wary expression and sighed leisurely:

"Alright, since Mr. Chu Bai has already noticed, then I won't act anymore."

"You're right, I do have something to discuss today."

See?

He knew this guy was up to no good.

Chu Bai remained silent, maintaining his vigilance, and continued to listen to Yuyuko's story.

Yuyuko suddenly took out a few large bills from her pocket:

"I heard that Mr. Chu Bai runs a handyman service that can help people solve all kinds of requests."

"In fact, I have a rather troublesome task here that I want to entrust to you."

"Of course, the reward is not a problem. This is a deposit of 20,000 yen, please accept it..."

At this moment.

As if the spring button had been turned to maximum power, Chu Bai's expression immediately changed.

His previous vigilance and caution immediately turned into a warm smile:

"Oh my, so you're here to talk business with me? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Come, come, let's sit down and have a good talk, a good talk..."

Chapter 156: New Request! Disrespectful Old Man Youki Konpaku?

If you were to ask who in Gensokyo Chu Bai liked the most, Chu Bai would say it's hard to say.

Although the standard answer is Alice, the tsundere and warmhearted Reimu, the lively and cheerful Sasha, the naturally kind Sanae, the brotherly Kaguya, and even the mysterious but kind master...

Many people hold an indispensable importance in Chu Bai's heart.

But if you were to ask who gave Chu Bai the greatest psychological shadow...

The answer would definitely be only one person, and that is the Saigyouji Yuyuko in front of him.

Although he had only met this abyss messenger once, she brought Chu Bai the most difficult memories. Whenever he thought of the years he spent wandering around, even ending up begging at the Hakurei Shrine, Chu Bai had the urge to cry.

So at the first sight of Yuyuko, Chu Bai subconsciously picked up the broom and prepared to shoo her away.

But then again...

Yuyuko's attitude was really too sincere, she actually took out a full two Fukuzawa Yukichi bills as a deposit.

Chu Bai was naturally not a narrow-minded person. After counting the 20,000 yen back and forth less than ten times, he greeted the guest with a beaming smile:

"Please sit down, you two distinguished guests. What would you like to drink?"

"We have Fourteen Nights Ice Wine, Fire Rat Pelt Liquor, and Wind Priest Cocktail here. Considering our relationship, we can give you a 99% discount."

Youmu twitched her eyes beside her:

"Those are all the most expensive wines... Mr. Chu Bai, if you rip people off like this, your integrity will drop drastically..."

Yuyuko didn't answer, but instead said to the side:

"Youmu, I left something I want to eat at the Hakugyokurou, could you please fetch it for me?"

"Eh?"

Youmu was stunned:

"It's a long way to go back to the Hakugyokurou, can't you just order it here?"

"No can do."

Yuyuko smiled slightly:

"That's my favorite snack. If I can't eat it, maybe I'll use the mochi next to you as a snack, okay?"

Youmu was so scared that she hugged her half body:

"This is not mochi, this is my half-phantom, you absolutely can't use it as a snack!"

"So I'm counting on you to make a trip~"

Looking at Yuyuko's soft and cute but unrefusable appearance, Youmu sighed powerlessly.

There's no way around it, who told her to end up with a master with this kind of personality?

Taking off from the spot, she quickly left towards the Netherworld.

Chu Bai was also thoughtful, and then ordered the little youkai watching the show beside him:

"Little ones, if you're full and have drunk enough, it's time to go home. It's getting late."

Seeing that they still wanted to continue watching the show, Chu Bai immediately rubbed his fingers sinisterly:

"I'll count to three. If you don't go home, I'll make sure you won't feel good again, okay?"

"Gua! Only that won't do, I still want to continue trembling comfortably by Chu Bai-sensei's side!"

Several little youkai got up in a panic and scattered like birds and beasts.

Yuyuko twitched her eyes slightly:

"...I think I heard a line that absolutely shouldn't be said by a teacher?"

"You heard wrong."

Chu Bai decisively changed the subject:

"So Miss Yuyuko, what exactly do you want to say to me?"

"You even dismissed your confidante Youmu, is it some kind of shady deal? Let me state in advance that I'm a very principled person, shady requests cost extra."

Yuyuko decisively didn't follow his line.

This man has the ability to trigger other people's retorts. If she really took his bait, I'm afraid this chapter could be water under the bridge.

She just directly introduced the main topic:

"Do you know Youki Konpaku?"

Chu Bai nodded slightly:

"I know him."

"...Eh? You actually know him?"

The unexpected answer surprised Yuyuko a little.

As a result, she saw Chu Bai showing a look of reminiscence:

"This is a free and unrestrained man, his slightly slanted hairstyle reflects his state of mind. The Chelsea boots on his feet are shining brightly, and his blue suit also makes him stand out in the crowd..."

"You're talking about Blue Enchantress! It has absolutely nothing to do with the Hakugyokurou gardener Youki Konpaku!"

In the end, she couldn't help but retort.

This classical beauty took a deep breath and forcibly twisted the topic back on track:

"Youki Konpaku, this is Youmu's grandfather, and also the former gardener and guard of the Hakugyokurou."

"He himself has a very strong cultivation. In terms of strength alone, he is indeed more reliable than little Youmu."

"But one day, he suddenly had an epiphany. After entrusting the duties of gardener to Youmu, he left Gensokyo to go to the outside world to improve his swordsmanship."

Chu Bai was thoughtful:

"I see, so this is his backstory?"

"Then what does your request have to do with this old man?"

Yuyuko shook her head:

"Actually, Youki has already returned. Not long ago, I sensed his presence in the village."

"And his eyes are also much more vicissitude, and his swordsmanship has become even more unfathomable."

Oh?

So amazing?

Chu Bai immediately imagined Youki's image.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a blue-haired samurai with a single ponytail under the moonlight, holding the hilt of his sword, his eyelids slightly drooping. Wild geese flew across the air, and the samurai's figure suddenly swayed. The sword light flashed, the wild geese fell, and only a low murmur echoed around.

"Secret Technique, Tsubame Gaeshi..."

Wait a minute, wrong show!

Chu Bai withdrew his imagination and asked again:

"Then where is Youki now?"

Yuyuko was a little helpless:

"Have you heard of the recent stalker in the Human Village?"

"I've heard of it."

"That stalker is Youki Konpaku himself."

"...?"

Image instantly shattered.

Chu Bai immediately showed a black line expression.

He thought he was some kind of swordsmanship master...

Turns out he's a disrespectful old guy!

"I understand, you want me to help clean up the house, right?"

Chu Bai stretched out a few fingers:

"30,000 yen to remove a leg, 50,000 yen to beat him so badly that even his granddaughter won't recognize him. Killing him directly costs 100,000 yen, including burial and aftercare. If you need cremation, please bring your own urn..."

"It's not such a violent request! By the way, how are you so skilled at this!"
