Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

“No problem, since Master has spoken, I'll listen.”

Yakumo Yukari immediately sized up Chu Bai with a subtle gaze.

Could this guy be… actually a hidden Master-con?

Here's a quick summary.

I'm taking another day off today, using my last leave for the month.

And here's a bunch of resentful mumbling.

……

……

Originally, I didn't want to bring up family matters.

But today, I'm feeling overwhelmed and need to vent.

Ever since these relatives came, nothing good has happened.

My dad had surgery last year, a very dangerous aortic dissection, and had an artificial blood vessel and heart valve replaced. The most important thing is to avoid alcohol.

But that old geezer from the relatives' side insists on urging him to drink at every meal.

It's one thing if he drinks himself, but he has to drag my dad along.

At every meal, I remind him that my dad just had surgery and can't drink alcohol due to the aortic dissection.

But every time, this old man just waves his hand and says, 'Oh, one glass won't hurt.'

The first day was fine, I thought it was just an occasional glass.

But later I found out, he really does drink at every meal!

Damn it, I feel panicked just watching. From the third time on, I started snatching the glass and forcibly stopping him.

As a result, this old idiot actually started pouring for me?

And said with a smile, 'If your dad doesn't drink, then you drink. You're old enough now, you'll have to drink wherever you go in the future.'

I...

Do you really think everyone is like you?

For some delicate reasons, we really can't offend this old geezer, can't fall out. (Can't go into details, just think of it as some business reasons.)

So I smiled hypocritically and started drinking according to this damn idea.

After drinking, I still have to deal with the ultra-childish kid, deal with his super-loud voice and occasional back-and-forth tossing.

This has led to a significant delay in my update time these past few days.

Today is even worse, I ended up drinking too much liquor, directly drinking more than half of two glasses.

I still have a headache now, and I'm really too weak to update, so I have to use my last day off.

This family is really amazing. Speaking of which, why do I have to have anything to do with such guys…

Fortunately, they'll be gone in two days, otherwise, if they really stayed permanently, my full attendance would definitely not be guaranteed…

Written in a drunken state, incoherent. If it affects everyone's viewing experience, I will delete this leave notice tomorrow.

Again, sorry or2

Chapter 255: As expected, Chu Bai is a hidden Master-con, right?

“Well, let me tell you the whole story again from the beginning.”

Looking at Chu Bai sitting obediently.

Yakumo Yukari retold the general story.

But this time, she omitted some details.

And the previous decisive slip of the tongue did not repeat itself.

“So, so… did you understand?”

“I see…”

Having obtained so much information all at once, Chu Bai subconsciously began to think.

Fortunately, this time he reacted quickly and immediately cut off the thoughts that arose in his mind.

Although he didn't know what would happen after being infected, since Master valued it so much, he still shouldn't continue trying.

“By the way, let me implant a psychological suggestion in you.”

The young Dragon God reached out and touched Chu Bai's forehead with her fingertip.

Immediately, a series of messages appeared in his mind.

[Concept implanted]

[1. Your name is Chu Bai, you have normal and clear thinking, and you only have two hands and two legs. You have no extra organs.]

[2. Although this is Gensokyo, a place of non-common sense existences, all inorganic objects have no expressions, let alone smile at you.]

[3. You will not inexplicably develop murderous intent, your heart desires a peaceful life.]

[4. Everyone's voices are clear and bright, and voices can only be transmitted in normal forms such as speaking and telepathy. There are no unknown sources or incomprehensible voices here.]

[5. If any of the above conflicts with the current situation, immediately seek out the Dragon God or Yakumo Yukari. Even if in your perception, the above rules are wrong or incomprehensible.]

“These psychological suggestions have no effect on you during normal times.”

The young Dragon God said:

“But once your consciousness falls into a state of confusion, this suggestion will take priority and prevent you from suffering more pollution as much as possible.”

Chu Bai was quite surprised to feel the additional suggestions in his head.

If someone messed around in his head, he would definitely be quite unhappy and would choose to use his fists or ultra-level magic to protest, depending on the situation.

But if it was Master, he didn't have much objection, just muttered in a low voice:

“You've actually gone this far?”

“Yes, after all, you were polluted just now due to my mistake.”

Yakumo Yukari sighed:

“Forcing you to lose your memory, although it will allow you to achieve an effect similar to isolating the pollution, also makes you more likely to be targeted by the disaster.”

“After all, if you lose it the first time, it will slowly become easier later…”

…Why does this sound a bit strange?

Chu Bai suppressed the urge to complain in his heart.

Looking at his Master in loli form, he finally got back to the main topic:

“One last question. Why did Master become like this, and also lose her memory?”

Speaking of this, Yakumo Yukari sighed again:

“Because we all underestimated the strength of the disaster.”

“This round's disaster is, for some reason, much stronger than the previous rounds.”

“In addition, the Dragon God herself has reversed time three times, and her origin is not yet stable, so she suffered a loss all at once.”

“But she herself also reacted immediately, quickly cut off her own memory, and proactively regressed her body.”

“Thereby preventing her from becoming an invincible enemy of Gensokyo once she completely fell.”

Ah, so it was a proactive regression?

Chu Bai felt puzzled:

“Wouldn't that mean that the final battle hasn't even started yet, and our strongest combat power has been banned first?”

“You don't have to worry about that.”

Yakumo Yukari continued:

“Before regressing, the Dragon God also gave herself suggestive commands.”

“These three commands are –”

“First: When Chu Bai is not infected, unconditionally trust Chu Bai and unconditionally obey any of Chu Bai's orders. Including orders that seem incomprehensible or absurd.”

“Second: When Chu Bai is infected, immediately give him physical amnesia. If this method doesn't work, then take him to find Yakumo Yukari.”

“Third: When Chu Bai says the password three times in a row, the young Dragon God's body will automatically return to its peak state and regain its memory.”

I see…

With just a little thought, Chu Bai understood the reason for this arrangement.

The first two points are easy to understand, the important thing is the third point.

Although Master actively regressed and self-sealed, this seal can be unlocked by itself.

As long as he recites the password three times, he can let Master restore herself.

But this password can only be used at the crucial moment of the final battle.

Because Master has been polluted, if she returns to her peak state now, along with the recovery of her memory, the progress of the pollution will also be greatly accelerated.

So only when fighting the final boss can Master restore her strength and wipe out the culprit in one go, completely cutting off the risk of pollution.

Chu Bai immediately understood Master's thoughts.

As for the physical amnesia mentioned in the second point…

Chu Bai's eyelids twitched slightly, thinking of the experience that made his head ache just now.

“So Master was the one who did it just now?”

“Yes.”

Yakumo Yukari looked at him playfully:

“What, are you going to complain about your Master?”

Chu Bai immediately snorted:

“What are you talking about, Master is all for my own good!”

Then he touched the young Dragon God's head:

“Good job, you can use more force next time, okay?”

“As expected, you guy is a Master-con! The difference in attitude is too big!”

“Look at what you're saying, don't forget that I've also attacked Master before. It's just a matter of depending on the situation, a special respect for Master.”

Chu Bai rubbed Master's head.

I have to say, Master in loli form is really good to rub, and the feel is quite wonderful.

In addition, he used to be the one being rubbed, and now that the situation is reversed, he can't help but secretly feel good about it.

“In short, Master will stay by my side, right?”

“That's right.”

Yakumo Yukari nodded:

“The Dragon God entrusted all the information to me and gave you the right to control her young form.”

“Although she is now in a regressed state, and her strength has been greatly reduced while losing her memory, she is not someone that anyone can shake easily.”

Is that so?

Chu Bai looked at the young Dragon God beside him.
