Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

“That's the spirit! Let's work together and create more achievements for the *Aya Shameimaru's News*!”

...

...

Aya Shameimaru left.

She seems to be going to Hell and the Demon World and probably won't be back for a few days.

Chu Bai took the key to the newspaper office, told Marisa to help look after the shop here, and then set off for the *Aya Shameimaru's News* office.

The Youkai Mountain, where the newspaper office is located, is the private territory of the Tengu clan. Since the Oni clan disappeared hundreds of years ago, the Tengu clan has settled here and formed a hierarchical social order.

Moreover, due to the Oni clan's remaining concept of respecting the strong, and the relatively closed nature of their own clan, the Tengu are quite arrogant and hostile towards outsiders, especially weaker races.

For example, right now...

"Stop!"

As Chu Bai went deeper, several white-haired Tengu sentries descended from the sky.

The leading girl said sternly:

"The front is Youkai Mountain, the private territory of the Tengu clan. Weak humans are not allowed to pass..."

Chu Bai's spirit was lifted, and he immediately rubbed his fists.

It's finally here!

The legendary face-slapping moment!

He immediately grinned, and the Dragon King's return BGM was ready.

But just as he was about to say his lines, the Tengu sentry suddenly saw his face clearly.

Suddenly, the girl's face changed drastically, and her furry ears perked up alertly:

"Eek! You're Slaanesh's Chosen, Chu Bai!"

"............Eh?"

The emotions Chu Bai had just been brewing were immediately interrupted:

"Wait, what did you just call me?"

"Slaanesh's Chosen, of course."

The Tengu sentry took two steps back in fear:

"Don't try to fool us. Aya Shameimaru has already told us that you can make girls horny at will."

"Not long ago, you even pinned Aya down in the open air and did this and that to her, making a mess of her. You even did a group play, and in the end, she couldn't even walk straight..."

"That's not what happened at all! It's all exaggeration!"

Chu Bai couldn't hold it in anymore and stepped forward to explain:

"The truth is..."

"Eeeeeek! Don't come over here!"

As a result, this small step of his directly made the Tengu sentries retreat several steps.

These are all quite young girls, and their strength is at the bottom of the entire Tengu clan, the so-called fodder-chans.

They are usually only responsible for intercepting ordinary villagers and have no experience in dealing with Slaanesh's Chosen. Seeing Chu Bai step forward, they screamed in unison:

"No, don't come over here!"

"I don't want to be messed up and have my legs go weak!"

"This guy definitely wants to tie us up, take off our tops in the deserted wilderness, leave only our socks and panties, and then hug our legs and rush wildly, occasionally making obscene noises... Eeek! I'm going to be turned into a little bitch who can only ○○ and ○○!"

"??????????"

Chu Bai looked at the confused girls with black lines all over his face.

Wasn't the Tengu clan supposed to be quite serious? How is it different from the rumors?

And guarding the gate with these few fodder-chans... this Youkai Mountain is doomed!

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Perhaps it was too noisy here, which finally attracted an experienced veteran.

A Tengu girl with outstanding appearance and a style obviously out of tune with the fodder-chans walked over.

Seeing this, several fodder sentries ran over crying:

Captain Momiji! Slaanesh... Slaanesh's Chosen is attacking!"

"I'm not attacking!"

Chu Bai shouted:

"And I'm Detective Chu Bai, not some Slaanesh's Chosen. Don't give me these weird nicknames!"

"............"

The Tengu girl named Captain Momiji sighed helplessly:

"Don't worry, you guys. Mr. Chu Bai won't randomly violate you."

"And he also has the qualifications to pass, so you can let him through next time you see him."

A girl said weakly:

"Won't randomly violate us?"

"No."

Captain Momiji shook her head.

Another girl asked:

"Really won't pretend to be a good person like in shoujo manga to make us relax our vigilance, actually prepare mystery drugs to put into the water source, and finally stun and tie up all the Tengu girls, turning Youkai Mountain into his harem and holding orgies..."

"What kind of shoujo manga are you reading! Speaking of which, are the shoujo manga in Gensokyo a bit too lewd!"

...

...

After another series of tossing and turning.

Finally, the misunderstanding was cleared up.

Chu Bai entered the restricted area of Youkai Mountain, and Captain Momiji led the way for him:

"My name is Momiji Inubashiri, a member of the White Wolf Tengu, and I am currently responsible for patrolling the foot of the mountain."

"We have already received the news that you are going to help the Crow Tengu revitalize the newspaper industry... But I'm quite curious, what method do you plan to use to make newspapers sell well?"

Chu Bai smiled confidently:

"My method is something no one can guess."

Momiji Inubashiri's eyes lit up. Is there such a magical method?

As a result, Chu Bai continued:

"Even I... can't guess it."

"...?"

Isn't that just saying he hasn't thought about it yet?

Momiji Inubashiri sweated a little and forcibly resisted the urge to complain.

As the two walked, the *Aya Shameimaru's News* office came into view.

After simply explaining some precautions, Momiji returned to the foot of the mountain to continue patrolling.

Chu Bai sat on the editor-in-chief's chair and began to think slightly.

There are only the last five days until the Summer Night Festival begins.

If he wants to win against the Palace of the Earth Spirits in five days, he must earn at least one million in sales. If the Palace of the Earth Spirits has additional income besides the support of Yukari Yakumo, then he needs to earn even more money.

The sales volume of *Aya Shameimaru's News*, even if all kinds of youkai are counted, is only a few thousand copies per day, and this is on the premise that Aya is selling door-to-door.

Calculating based on a price of 100 yen per newspaper and a final split of 10%, this income is far from being able to compete with the Palace of the Earth Spirits.

So Chu Bai must take a risky move and do something big. Only with unconventional methods can he gamble on the sales of the newspaper.

"But having said that, how should I actually do something big..."

Chu Bai scratched his head and picked up Aya's previous issue of the news to read.

Unsurprisingly, the previous issue of the news also had various exaggerated headlines and the usual eye-catching tricks.

In this case, even if Chu Bai repeats the same tricks, he won't earn much money.

"...Hmm?"

Just as Chu Bai was thinking, a breeze blew by.

A sock suddenly fell from the clothes rack above his head.

He subconsciously reached out and caught it, seeing Aya's logo embroidered on the surface of the sock. Obviously, this was a sock she hung up to dry at home.

As he grabbed it up close, he immediately smelled the faint scent of gardenias from the girl's foot sock.

This scent directly made Chu Bai's eyes widen, and a strong inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

Without bothering to put the sock back in place, he put it directly on his lap and then picked up a pen and paper and began to write—

[Aya Shameimaru's News Special Edition:]

[A Brief Discussion on the New Era's Lunch Box—The Delicious Foot Socks of Girls!]

After a pause, he continued to write below:

[Editor-in-chief: Aya Shameimaru]

[Writer: Aya Shameimaru...]

...

...

At the same time.

Not far from the *Aya Shameimaru's News* office.

A Crow Tengu with pigtails was slowly flying over.

"Seriously, Aya is always like this, inexplicably asking me to help watch the store..."

The girl's clothes looked slightly fashionable, and she had a golden mobile phone slung around her waist.

Compared to the traditional Aya Shameimaru, she was obviously more like a reporter of the new era.

She is Himekaidou Hatate, and like Aya Shameimaru, she is a Crow Tengu responsible for news in the Tengu tribe.

However, the scale of her *Kakashi Net News* is completely different from that of Aya's *Aya Shameimaru's News*.

"Oh well, although I don't like that guy, I've received favors before... I'll help her watch the store for two days this time."

Himekaidou Hatate yawned.

Obviously, Aya Shameimaru forgot to notify her about Chu Bai.

And the White Wolf Tengu responsible for guarding have never gotten along with the Crow Tengu, so there is no chance to talk.

So, unknowingly, Himekaidou Hatate entered the *Aya Shameimaru's News* office.

And the moment she opened the door, she saw a strange man sitting in front of Aya Shameimaru's desk. While holding Aya's socks, he was showing a subtle smile, and his hands were constantly moving back and forth...

"Aaaaaah!"

Himekaidou Hatate was instantly frightened:

"Pervert! There's a pervert using Aya's socks to ○○!"
