Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Chu Bai slept soundly.

Vaguely, he even dreamed that he was beside a dark river.

On the other side of the river, there seemed to be a red-haired, large-breasted girl carrying a scythe, smiling and waving at him.

However, just as he was sleeping soundly, a series of noisy sounds woke him up again.

"Human... delicious..."

"Such a beautiful little girl, she must taste delicious..."

"So lucky, just evolved and I have a little snack to enjoy..."

Such standard villain lines made Chu Bai subconsciously release his senses.

He saw not far ahead, a girl with short purple hair was running towards him.

Behind the girl, there were three strange-looking monsters following.

Soon, the short-haired girl arrived near Chu Bai. Due to the magic circle Chu Bai had set up before going to sleep, she did not see Chu Bai's figure.

However, her exhausted physical strength forced her to stop.

"Hieda no Akyuu?"

Seeing the face of the short-haired girl, Chu Bai recognized her at once.

Facing the siege of the monsters, Akyuu was not afraid, but asked with some seriousness:

"You are the monsters near the village, right?"

"The Hakurei Shrine Maiden has set a rule that monsters near the village must not actively eat people. Are you trying to break the rules?"

The leading monster let out a strange laugh, and a faint black wave stained its bloodthirsty pupils:

"Who cares about your rules! It is natural for monsters to eat people, it's that simple!"

The other two monsters also surrounded Akyuu with ill intentions.

Seeing that the negotiation had failed, Akyuu sighed helplessly.

There was no choice but to use the secret treasure.

But in that case, the elders would definitely notice the aura of the secret treasure, and this secret trip plan would be completely ruined.

However, just as she was about to activate the secret treasure, Chu Bai suddenly removed the magic circle and waved to Akyuu:

"Yo, what a coincidence, Akyuu, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"...Mr. Chu Bai?"

Akyuu immediately happily put away the secret treasure:

"So you were here too?"

"Yeah, I was taking a nap nearby, but I was woken up by the noise."

Saying that, Chu Bai looked at the monsters chasing Akyuu:

"So, have you guys thought about your last words?"

"Ha! Who the hell are you, talking so big!"

These three monsters were obviously newly evolved, and they didn't even recognize Chu Bai and Akyuu.

So Chu Bai directly taught them a lesson.

With a wave of his hand, wind blades fell.

The leading monster had its head chopped off directly.

"What the hell?"

The remaining two monsters were startled, and the black light in their eyes seemed to dim a bit:

"So it's the Magician! We were just born with intelligence, we are still children... Please have mercy, please have mercy..."

Good家伙, the monsters in Gensokyo are quite humane, and they even know how to beg for mercy.

Thinking so, Chu Bai chuckled:

"Don't worry, Chu's blade does not kill the old and the young."

The two monsters were overjoyed.

Just as they were about to run away, they heard Chu Bai change his tone:

"But I have another small knife that specializes in killing the old and the young."

"???"

The monsters stopped:

"You mo..."

Crack!

Crack!

The cold light fell, and the vicinity suddenly became quiet.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Chu Bai."

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Akyuu also breathed a sigh of relief:

"I don't know why, but recently these low-level monsters have become much more violent. They even kept chasing me even after I revealed my identity as the head of the Hieda family."

Chu Bai moved his nose closer to smell:

"Maybe your body is too fragrant?"

"!!"

The sudden approach of male aura made Akyuu subconsciously take a half step back.

But before she could recover from her accelerated heartbeat, she saw that Chu Bai had already changed the subject.

"But this kind of thing is indeed worth noting."

"This kind of old-fashioned hero saving beauty plot should have been out of print."

"Moreover, the black aura in the monsters' eyes obviously has a feeling of 'this thing is definitely not simple, so it's worth writing a separate chapter'... I'll just write it down for now."

Writing it down in his notebook, Chu Bai turned his head to look at Akyuu again:

"And Akyuu, why did you come out alone? You have almost no combat power, it's better to bring a few samurai."

"Ah...this..."

Akyuu took a deep breath.

Taking advantage of Chu Bai's complaints, she also calmed her inexplicably accelerated heartbeat and regained her original composure:

"I sneaked out."

"Sneaked out?"

"Yes, because I have a hobby of writing novels, so I often sneak out alone to gather material. Without the constraints of the family, I feel much happier."

Speaking of novels, Chu Bai also became interested.

After all, he himself is a language teacher, and he is also quite concerned about literature:

"So there are novels sold in Gensokyo?"

"Of course there are, and there are quite a few."

"Do you have any recommended works?"

Chu Bai said smoothly:

"To be honest, I am very interested in literary works, especially detective and mystery novels."

Hearing Chu Bai say this, Akyuu rolled her eyes and said tentatively:

"Would you like to try Agatha Christie's novel 'Is It All the Work of Youkai?'"

"This is a very popular mystery novel in Gensokyo. The author is quite outstanding in both research and writing."

Saying that, she also took out a book from her arms:

"I happen to have the first volume of this book with me, would you like to try reading it?"

"Then I won't be polite."

Chu Bai took the novel and said with emotion:

"A mystery novel that can sell well in Gensokyo must have something outstanding about it."

Akyuu nodded:

"Just a passerby, to be fair, I think this book is very well written."

"Ok, then I will gratefully accept it."

Chu Bai raised his thumb:

"If it's very good, maybe I'll ask you to exchange thoughts?"

Akyuu also responded with a thumbs up:

"You are always welcome."

……

……

The Hieda family is a famous family in the Human Village.

Having a good relationship with Akyuu will definitely be helpful to him, a resident living in the Human Village.

With this in mind, Chu Bai chatted with Akyuu for a while.

When Hieda no Akyuu bid farewell and embarked on her writing journey again, the light purple-haired girl suddenly realized.

"...Although my friendship with Mr. Chu Bai is not very deep, it's just that I gave him a house for almost free and relieved him of his debts in the Human Village."

"Why do I feel like I'm meeting an old friend again when I see him again at this time?"

"Does he have the ability to make people feel close to him?"

Akyuu murmured:

"But as a disciple of the Dragon God, isn't this kind of ability a bit too simple?"

"...Forget it, now I am Agatha Christie, who likes to write novels, not the head of the Hieda family who compiles the Gensokyo Chronicles."

"I'll leave this troublesome matter to tomorrow's me to consider~"

……

……

On the other side.

Chu Bai also embarked on a journey to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

The short rest restored some of his physical strength, and with two bottles of medicine given by Eirin, he could be considered to have recovered some of his condition.

However, after taking out a small mirror and looking at it, he found that his face was still not very good.

"I hope I don't scare Sakuya later."

Thinking so, Chu Bai arrived at the entrance of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Then he was scared by Sakuya.

"Wahhhh! Sakuya, why have you turned into a zombie!"

Sakuya also had a pale face, and there was an undisguised look of exhaustion on her face:

"...I haven't turned into a zombie! It's just that the vampire's cold is a bit serious, and I'm just a bit haggard recently!"
