Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

To be fair, his affected demeanor was quite convincing.

So, Saint Byakuren was the first to wave her hand, launching a torrent of defenses as if reciting scriptures:

"I'm sorry, Chuwai-kun, you're a good person, but we're not suited for each other, and right now I only want to serve the Buddhist faith and have no intention of marrying a man..."

Toyosatomimi no Miko, on the other hand, used her abilities to try and discern Chu Bai's true intentions.

She discovered that he sincerely wanted to get close to them.

So, this is Chu Bai's true personality?

This seems a little different from what Qing'e said?

"Stop, stop, you seem to have misunderstood."

Seeing their expressions change, Chu Bai re-explained:

"The cohabitation I'm talking about isn't that kind of intimate relationship between a man and a woman, it's just simply living together."

"It's really because my law abilities require it, so I have no choice but to resort to this."

Then he roughly explained to the two of them the principle behind his law's strengthening.

Now they finally understood that they seemed to have misunderstood Chu Bai's intentions.

"But no matter what, moving in together right away is still too much."

Saint Byakuren gave him a slightly reproachful look.

She had always regarded Chu Bai as a friend.

Although there had been many misunderstandings and ambiguous situations between them, her heart had always been pure and she hadn't had any wild thoughts.

But Chu Bai's suggestion made her thoughts turn in strange directions.

Chu Bai showed a somewhat embarrassed expression:

"After all, living together can quickly increase the bond, thereby strengthening my law."

"This is also a reward worthy of my hard work in stopping the Buddhist-Taoist war."

"But... since you're so resistant, then let's just change it to ordinary dates."

"If there's a chance in the future, accompany me on a few more dates, and let's all play together up close, that should be fine, right?"

Compared to living together directly, dating seemed easier to accept.

Toyosatomimi no Miko smiled faintly:

"If it's just dating, then of course there's no problem."

"It's just a matter of doing some disguises to confuse people's perceptions, so the villagers don't discover our identities."

Chu Bai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the classic broken window effect.

If he had proposed dating from the start, the two masters might have been too reserved to agree.

But if he started with the request for cohabitation, then dating became easier to accept.

"But Chu Bai-kun..."

Saint Byakuren pouted slightly, revealing a rare girlish resentment:

"It's all your fault for saying strange things just now, which has slightly disturbed my state of mind."

"You can use fewer routines in the future and directly state your original purpose."

"Ahaha, I've been found out."

Chu Bai chuckled twice.

But thinking about it, these simple routines could only fool Reimu at most.

For religious masters who have lived for thousands of years, of course they would see through it at a glance.

"In short, you just want us to go on a few dates with you, right?"

Having learned that Chu Bai didn't have any dirty intentions, Miko also became more open-minded again:

"No problem, just call us when you're free."

"Then thank you."

...

...

Successfully got dates with two religious masters.

Chu Bai was in a good mood, so he picked up his wine bowl.

Recently, he had been busy with the disaster, running around everywhere.

Taking advantage of the banquet to relax, it seemed like a good choice.

With Chu Bai's joining, the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax. The girls took turns coming over to clink glasses, and Chu Bai drank them all without missing a single one.

Glug glug glug...

Glug glug glug...

Chu Bai's alcohol tolerance was actually quite good, so when he completely let loose, his drinking posture became very heroic.

As a result, he immediately attracted the girls' challenges in turn.

First to appear was Remilia Scarlet, who came to join in the fun.

"Long time no see, Chu Bai."

Remilia elegantly took a big gulp of wine:

"I heard you caused another big commotion in the human village, this lady is very hap--"

*Thud!*

However, before she could finish speaking, Remilia fell to the ground, completely drunk.

Looking closely, Chu Bai discovered that Remilia was actually holding the oni clan's special high-proof sake, Otter Festival.

He immediately exclaimed, "Good heavens!" and quickly called Sakuya to drag her away.

Without even a moment of sorrow for the young lady, Reimu and Marisa joined the drinking table right after.

The two girls were a little drunk, arguing about who had the best alcohol tolerance for Chu Bai to judge.

Chu Bai didn't hold back and declared war at the same time:

"What is this, chickens pecking each other? You two little weaklings, don't wave around in front of me."

In just one sentence, he directly united Reimu and Marisa against him.

"Huh? You're very arrogant!"

"Let's go together and knock him down!"

The two girls didn't hold back and picked up their bottles to chug them.

Chu Bai also followed the etiquette and joined them in a drinking contest.

Glug glug glug...

Glug glug glug...

*Thud!*

*Thud!*

Almost at the same time, the two of them also fell under the table, completely defeated.

Next was Komeiji Satori, who was about to become his employer.

The little loli rarely drank, because many banquets wouldn't invite her, and she wouldn't come to be a loner.

This time, she came to the banquet just to see Chu Bai.

"Come on, Satori, others may alienate you, but I won't."

Chu Bai gave a thumbs up:

"If your body allows it, how about we have a couple of bottles together?"

Satori unceremoniously took the bottle:

"Sure, let's have some, and I haven't even had this wine in your hand before."

Chu Bai warmly reminded:

"Then you should take it easy, this wine has a strong aftereffect."

"It's said that if you drink three bowls, you can't pass the hill in front."

Koishi suddenly jumped out and raised her hand:

"Teacher, I know the answer to this question! Because the alcohol content is too high, and there are tigers on the hill, right?"

Chu Bai chuckled:

"No, it's actually because there are no toilets on the hill, and you can't help but pee if you drink too much."

"????"

The Komeiji sisters simultaneously made question marks.

What kind of messed up reason is that!

"Anyway, cheers!"

"...Cheers."

Glug glug glug...

Glug glug glug...

*Thud!*

Satori's head hit the table, and she lost consciousness.

"This sister is just weak, too weak."

Koishi carried her sister's body and waved to Chu Bai:

"I'll take my incompetent sister home first, goodbye teacher~"

"Goodbye, come play when you're free."

After knocking down four girls in a row, Chu Bai also had a slight buzz.

But just as he was about to end it, Ibuki Suika, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came over with a sake pot.

"That's not cool, Chu Bai."

Suika said softly:

"You didn't even call me when you were drinking?"

Chu Bai slapped his forehead:

"Oh dear, I've been a little busy lately, and I forgot that we agreed to drink together."

"So what should we do? Are you planning to go home now?"

"You've already sat down here, I definitely can't let you down."

Chu Bai also completely indulged himself this time:

"Want to drink?"

Suika smiled and brought a bowl of Otter Festival:

"Let's have this, this is strong."

"No problem."

Chu Bai picked up the wine bowl and first took a small sip.

As expected of something that could make the young lady drunk with one sip, the alcohol content of this wine was indeed not low.
