Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"It seems Miss Ayaya has been under a lot of pressure lately, but I didn't expect she'd have such a hobby?"

"Hehe, Miss Ayaya's socks, hss hss..."

"To be honest, I still prefer the refreshing type of socks..."

"I'm so envious of Miss Ayaya, I also want to savor this delicious delicacy!"

姬海棠果: "???"

Seriously, are you guys really discussing this?

Do the villagers like this kind of thing these days?

While Akyuu was a mess, Chu Bai continued to work hard.

Soon, one unique manuscript after another was written.

【《Shine Your Eyes, Be Good at Discovering the Little Trap Around You!》】

【《The Body Odor of Different Personality Girls, Hiss Hiss》】

【《No Matter How Hard the Mouth Is, It's Soft When You Kiss It! A Review of Ten Most Comfortable Ways to Kiss!》】

【《Life is Unsatisfactory? Get Some Fashion First~ On the Horn Culture of Gensokyo!》】

【……】

These short articles were published, leaving Akyuu dumbfounded.

She couldn't help but complain to Chu Bai:

"Did Ayaya really let you post these things?"

"I feel like her 'Ayaya News' is about to be turned into 'Ayaya Sex News'!"

Chu Bai chuckled:

"Although she doesn't know, she did say that as long as it can attract reading interest, anything is fine."

"But renaming it is out of the question, after all, I'm just a temporary worker, it's really not good to do this kind of thing..."

"Why are you so considerate in this kind of place!"

But while Akyuu was complaining, she was lost in thought.

If Ayaya's style is flamboyant, then Chu Bai's style is heaven-defying.

In addition to the regular content that follows the style of Ayaya News, his special section is filled with all kinds of crazy literature, striving to bring abstraction to the extreme.

Almost all the readers who bought the newspaper were sweating as they looked at the headlines.

But the number of people buying newspapers remained high.

Seeing all of this, Akyuu fell into slight contemplation.

...Have the tastes of Gensokyo residents become so modern now?

...It seems that traditional content is indeed not as popular as novel content?

After all, it's not an official news agency, so there must be some personal stuff mixed in, as well as competitive elements. So Akyuu really got some enlightenment from Chu Bai's approach.

As for Chu Bai, his focus was on sales.

During his three days as the temporary editor-in-chief of 'Ayaya News', he published a total of six issues of the newspaper.

Each issue sold about 20,000 copies, and at a price of 100 yen per issue, that's a whopping 12 million yen in sales. At a 10% split, Chu Bai can directly get 1.2 million yen.

The income in just three days is almost equal to the total income of the first half of the month. If he continues to do this, Chu Bai can buy his current 20 million yen house in full in less than two months.

"Is this the big industry that controls the economic lifeline of Gensokyo..."

Chu Bai looked at the calculated numbers in shock.

Now he finally understood why Ayaya looked so rich.

With so many potential readers, even if she usually only publishes ordinary exaggerated news, and excluding printing costs and material costs, the daily income is easily tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

And even so, Shameimaru Ayaya is not considered rich, and even Ayaya News is just one of the companies under the Tengu clan.

It's hard to imagine how much wealth the Scarlet Devil Mansion and Eientei have accumulated, and it's no wonder Remilia casually gave away 200,000 at their first meeting... For these real rich people, the accumulated wealth is probably hundreds of millions...

"In short, let's have more crazy literature and abstract content, and make a fortune before this trend passes..."

Chu Bai set a small goal in his heart.

As soon as he took out his pen, a fist suddenly stretched out from behind him where no one was.

"That's enough from you!"

Plop!

Yelling as she punched Chu Bai to the ground, Yakumo Yukari emerged from a gap in space:

"Although I said I wouldn't restrict your economic development, you can't make the human village so smoggy! You better write some standard news!"

Chu Bai staggered to his feet, looking at Yakumo Yukari with squinted eyes:

"What's wrong, you old woman, are you starting to interfere in the news industry because you're too bored?"

"...Of course I have to interfere, after all, if you keep messing around like this, the minds of those humans will be completely corrupted."

Yakumo Yukari snorted:

"And did you just use a rude term again? Call me 'sister' obediently, you bastard!"

"Tsk..."

Chu Bai wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem right to continue to be so abstract.

Ordinary villagers are not like those beings who are beyond common sense, and if their minds are really too modernized, it doesn't seem good for the balance.

And although Shameimaru Ayaya took the initiative to offer this, and also took photos to try to scam him before. But if he does things too ruthlessly and his reputation is completely ruined, maybe that poor Tengu girl will cry.

In addition, the small goal of three million has been achieved anyway, and it's even two hundred thousand more than the original.

Thinking this way, Chu Bai ultimately did not retort Yakumo Yukari, but instead listened to her advice for once:

"Okay, I'll give you some face this time. I won't be abstract anymore, I'll just publish according to Ayaya's normal style."

"...Huh? You're really listening?"

Yakumo Yukari looked at Chu Bai in surprise:

"I thought you were going to refute me again?"

"After all, what you said makes sense."

Chu Bai sighed:

"And if it weren't for someone supporting the Underground Geyser Center with three million funds out of thin air, I wouldn't have desperately tried to make money."

"Speaking of which, what are you doing giving Koishi so much money? Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, wanting her to defeat me?"

Yakumo Yukari mysteriously shook her head:

"I can only say that this is related to a certain part of the Summer Night Festival."

"As for more specific details, those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand won't understand even if I explain it, so it's better not to say anything at all..."

Chu Bai decisively raised his middle finger:

"Riddler, get out of Gensokyo!"

……

……

The organizer of the Summer Night Festival has always been Yakumo Yukari.

So after learning that the three million was related to the Summer Night Festival, Chu Bai didn't say anything more.

However, just as Yakumo Yukari finished explaining and was about to tear open a gap to return.

Chu Bai suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Yakumo Yukari immediately raised her eyebrows slightly and turned slightly:

"Hmm? Why are you suddenly getting handsy? Could it be that you've realized my charm and want to confess to me?"

"I'm sorry, you're a good person, but we're not suitable..."

Completely imitating Chu Bai's style, the seventeen-year-old girl also tried to experience the refreshing feeling of rejecting someone.

But Chu Bai's expression suddenly became serious, and his tone was slightly lowered:

"Yakumo Yukari, are you injured?"

"...Eh?"

Yakumo Yukari was slightly stunned, but quickly showed a somewhat helpless expression:

"Don't be so alarmed, after all, this is Gensokyo, and I occasionally have sparring matches with Ran or some friends. In a danmaku battle, it's only natural to get a little injured, right?"

Chu Bai narrowed his eyes:

"Really? I can't imagine you taking the initiative to spar with someone."

"On the contrary, I only need to imagine it slightly, and I can imagine you hiding behind the screen, peeping into every corner of Gensokyo, drooling and giggling to satisfy your voyeuristic desires..."

"Screw you! Just be a good editor, and be careful I'll beat you if you're so talkative!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yakumo Yukari had already taken out her folding fan and hit Chu Bai hard on the head.

Then, like a little girl, she stuck out her tongue at Chu Bai contemptuously, and then burrowed into the gap and left.

As the crack in space slowly closed, Chu Bai slowly got up, his brow furrowed.

...Yakumo Yukari is indeed injured.

There is no doubt about this, because with the improvement of the Dragon God Art, Chu Bai's perception is far beyond what it used to be.

It can be clearly felt that Yakumo Yukari is not at full strength, and her energy and demonic power are slightly weak.

But she insisted that nothing had happened, and quickly left after being exposed by Chu Bai.

"...I feel a strange atmosphere."

Chu Bai muttered, looking at the new newspaper he was about to take to print.

The title of the newspaper was prominently printed with the words [Summer Night Festival is About to Open].

"And for some reason, I feel like this year's Summer Night Festival won't be very peaceful either..."

"Hmm... Just in case, let's keep some backup plans in advance..."

Chapter 171 Joining the Festival Guardian, Tranquility Before the Incident

Summer Night Festival, this is a festival held every year in Gensokyo.

The event is held on the weekend of the last week of spring, and the purpose is to better welcome the arrival of summer through a lively festival.

And this year's Summer Night Festival, according to Reimu's spoilers, is roughly divided into three parts.

They are the "fireworks display" as the opening, the all-night "lively stalls" and the banquet of the strong as the main content, and the "late-night mysterious project" organized by Yakumo Yukari as the closing event.

By the way, Chu Bai originally planned to set up a stall in the name of the Detective Agency.

But he also has the job of temporary editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and after thinking about it carefully, it seems that he doesn't have time to prepare these.

So in the end he gave up his job and decided to participate in the festival as an ordinary guest.

Stalling and the like, let's wait until next year to prepare well.

"Hey, you in front, wait a minute."

The night before the Summer Night Festival.

Chu Bai, who was about to go home, was suddenly stopped by a white-haired girl.

Chu Bai immediately slapped his thigh:

"Hey! I planted this tree, and I opened this road!"
