Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

“！！！”

The puppet gun formation took the lead in charging.

Marisa's expression changed, and she hurriedly dodged.

But she didn't have time to avoid the magic bullets hidden behind the puppets.

In a critical moment, Chu Bai grabbed Marisa's collar, flipped her over, and pressed her down.

The magic bullets bombarded the cabinet, and the sundries inside scattered all over the floor.

“Ah, my collection cabinet!” Marisa wailed.

Chu Bai's expression was serious: “Forget about your cabinet, let’s check Alice’s condition first.”

“Little Alice, who has always been gentle and quiet, has turned into such a personality. Could she be under some kind of curse?”

“But I didn’t detect any curse aura, which means the level of the curse releaser is definitely above me……”

“？？？”

Marisa stared blankly at Chu Bai, who was analyzing seriously.

After dodging another attack, she couldn't help but complain:

“Hey, Xiao Bai, haven’t you realized the reason why Little Alice is angry?”

“The reason for being angry? Of course, I know.”

Chu Bai replied:

“Isn’t it just that she mistakenly thought I stole her best friend and lied to her?”

“I’m going to participate in the mansion fight competition, a high EQ player in dating sim games, I can definitely understand this kind of thing.”

You understand nothing!

It’s obvious that Little Alice is jealous!

Seeing the person she likes getting involved with her best friend, this reason for her corruption is already obvious!

Marisa opened her mouth to explain, but Alice’s voice came again.

“Even in this situation, you are still flirting and making eyes at each other……”

“Hey, Xiao Bai, why won’t you do this to me……Why do you have to lie to me with Marisa……”

“Could it be that I am also part of your play……”

Chu Bai said earnestly:

“Don’t worry, Alice, I know you must be under a curse now, that’s why your emotions are so agitated.”

“In that case, I have no choice but to subdue you first, and then find a way to lift the curse!”

Stop worrying about your curse!

I told you this isn’t a curse, it’s an emotional entanglement!

Marisa wanted to say the truth directly, so that Chu Bai would know the truth and definitely have a way to stabilize Alice’s emotions.

But in that case, it would be equivalent to Alice confessing in disguise.

She still remembered Chu Bai’s experience. Although he was twenty-four years old, he was a blank sheet of paper in terms of emotions. He spent more than ten years of his youth searching for resurrection elixirs and avenging his master. He didn’t understand anything about love between men and women.

Revealing the truth at this time would definitely result in rejection, so Little Alice would have no chance.

But if she doesn’t do this, how can she get Little Alice back to normal?

Marisa’s head fell into entanglement.

On the other side, Chu Bai, who still thought Alice was affected by the curse, was ready to fight.

Facing the oncoming small army, he waved his right hand and mobilized the majestic earth elemental power in the forest.

“Sorry, Little Alice, I can only make you behave first!”

“Earth Spell——「Mudflow Barrier」!”

“Earth Spell——「Mud Swamp Array」!”

Chapter 25: The Farce Ends? Fast Forward to Good Best Friends Saying Sorry

In fact, the most suitable spells for dealing with Alice’s puppets are fire and ice attribute magic.

Flames can burn materials, and frost can solidify joints.

But Chu Bai’s weak magic power destined him to be unable to cast spells at will.

In order to minimize consumption, he can only use moves that conform to the surrounding environment to achieve the purpose of magic diversion.

So now his main means can only be the most abundant wood and earth attribute magic in the Magic Forest.

“Earth Spell——「Mudflow Barrier」!”

“Earth Spell——「Mud Swamp Array」!”

The gathered earth elements formed a surrounding shield, intercepting the small army’s ranged attacks.

At the same time, the floor under Alice’s feet suddenly turned into a slippery swamp.

Due to the unstable center of gravity, her control over the puppets immediately became much weaker.

But Alice is not only good at puppet manipulation.

In addition to the title of Seven-Colored Puppeteer, she is also a magician herself. And she is an extremely powerful magician who has completed the worm-shedding magic and transformed her race.

Alice tapped her fingertip, and the magic book in her hand automatically opened, and the circle symbolizing the seven luminaries law rotated and surrounded her.

Chu Bai just glanced at it, and immediately felt a toothache.

—This is a sign of launching a superior spell.

In this way, Alice herself has such a powerful magic level.

“Xiao Bai, be good, just stand there and don’t move……It won’t hurt after a while……”

Alice’s voice was ethereal, and the seven luminaries magic circle beside her also accelerated its rotation.

If this stalemate continues, Chu Bai will definitely suffer a big loss after the spell is completed.

In an emergency, he no longer cared about magic loss, nor did he care about magic diversion and endurance.

Almost immediately afterwards, Chu Bai’s body also flashed with colorful luster.

Swish!

The magic circuits lit up one after another, and the more complex seven luminaries magic circle also began to surround Chu Bai.

“There’s no way, Little Alice, since your curse is so powerful, then I can only cast a superior spell.”

“Although it may hurt you, you can scold me however you want after you recover!”

“Fire Earth Spell——「Kingdom of Blazing Fire」……”

“Wait a minute! Wait a minute for me啊啊啊啊啊！！”

Marisa, who came back online, hurriedly shouted and stood between them:

“This is my house, are you going to have a head-on collision of superior spells in someone else’s house??”

“And Little Alice, after making such a fuss for so long, you should be a little more sober!”

Marisa held a loudspeaker and shouted loudly in Alice’s ear:

“Why are you so angry when you see me and Chu Bai together!”

“Do you like Chu Bai? Do you want to confess to him, marry him, and do shameful things with him in bed?”

……Eh?

……Like Chu Bai?

……Marry him and do shameful things?

As if triggered by a keyword.

The light in Alice’s eyes quickly recovered, but at the same time her face also turned red:

“Ma Ma Ma Marisa, what are you talking about! I don’t like Chu Bai, and I don’t want to do that kind of thing with him!”

“Then why are you so angry! You two great magicians are fighting, almost tearing down my house!”

“……Eh? Eh eh eh eh eh??”

Under Marisa’s shameful attack, Alice finally regained her sanity.

And when she saw the scene in front of her, she was also taken aback and quickly canceled the preparation for the superior spell.

The brilliance of the seven luminaries magic circle gradually dissipated. Seeing Alice return to normal, Chu Bai also breathed a sigh of relief:

“You’ve finally calmed down, Little Alice.”

Alice looked around with a flushed face and some dismay:

“Did I do all this?”

“Yes, if I hadn’t interrupted in time, my big house would have been destroyed!”

Marisa’s eyes were quite resentful.

Chu Bai also breathed a sigh of relief and gave Marisa a thumbs up:

“Marisa, you really helped a lot this time.”

“And I also realized my own mistakes. It turns out that Little Alice is not cursed, but simply sad and angry because she was deceived by a friend. This time I learned another EQ tip.”

You still haven’t figured it out!

Are you the dull male protagonist in a light novel? Even those dull protagonists should have noticed something at this time!

Your teenage years were really untouched by any romance!

Marisa quickly complained in her heart.

After seeing Alice’s uneasy expression, she directly put her arm around Alice’s shoulder, and the two of them went to the corner to whisper, shoulder to shoulder.

In order to prevent Chu Bai from eavesdropping, Marisa also specially set up the soundproof barrier that Chu Bai had just taught her last night.

Then she looked at Alice with a serious face:

“Little Alice, answer honestly, do you like Chu Bai?”

“Eh?”

Alice panicked again like a small animal:

“I don’t like him!”

“I’ve only known Chu Bai for a month, how could I possibly like him!”

“Although he helped me a lot when we first met, he also taught me interpersonal relationships, and he also became the first heterosexual friend who often came to visit. In my spare time, I would also make him some small cakes, and go to the village for hot pot or picnics. The last time we went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, we also fought side by side, and solved the case there together. After returning home, we also held a two-person tea party, and read books and chatted together, exchanging magic……He himself is also very handsome, exactly the type I like, our personalities are also very compatible, and we have a good understanding……”

“But I definitely haven’t fallen in love with him! I just treat him as a good friend!”

Marisa was immediately embarrassed:

“Your reaction is obviously like you like him……”

“No, definitely not.”

Alice shook her head like a rattle.

After Marisa pondered for a while, she tentatively said:

“Then imagine a situation. Suppose I really fell in love with Xiao Bai, and we really just did something shameful, and even just before you knocked on the door with the cake, we were still doing it……”

Alice began to imagine along with Marisa’s words.

But just thinking about the beginning, she immediately felt a burst of heartache, and almost started dropping tears again.

Marisa patted her shoulder:

“It feels very uncomfortable, right? It feels like your heart is broken, right?”
