Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Coming out from the gap was a slender girl.

She had long golden hair and a broad chest, and her purple dress was covered with strange decorations. Her slender hands held the handle of a parasol, her beautiful eyes twinkled slightly, and her fair face wore a smile that was not quite a smile.

She is Yakumo Yukari, the manager of Gensokyo, and one of the sages who built the barrier in the first place.

Kaguya certainly recognized this fellow. Without a doubt, she was an extremely dangerous existence. Both her powerful abilities and her unpredictable wisdom were opponents that must be taken seriously.

But Yakumo Yukari would actually appear in Shiro's room?

And judging from the looks of it, the two seemed to know each other?

The instant she came to this conclusion, Kaguya's evaluation of Chu Bai immediately increased significantly.

Yakumo Yukari would definitely not use her gaps just to visit an ordinary male villager's home.

In other words, this online friend Shiro was definitely not an ordinary person!

Hidden behind her hood, Kaguya suddenly developed a strong interest in Chu Bai.

......

......

On the other side.

Chu Bai, who was video chatting with his "good brother", was startled.

Upon noticing Yakumo Yukari behind him, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief:

"Oh, it's just Granny Yakumo, you scared me to death, I thought my house was haunted."

"............"

Yakumo Yukari's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything, she just looked at Chu Bai's computer:

"Seeing you indulge in games every day, could it be that you've really become a shut-in like Rinnosuke?"

"Look at what you're saying, how could I be indulging? I'm just playing lightly for 20 hours a day."

Chu Bai waved to Kaguya, saying that he had something to do and was logging off.

After turning off the video, he turned to look at Yakumo Yukari again:

"So, is there something you specifically came to me for, Granny Yakumo?"

"............"

Faint veins appeared on her smooth forehead.

But Yakumo Yukari was still not angry, she just barely maintained her smile:

"I just came to ask you if you're interested in making a deal."

"A deal?"

Chu Bai rubbed his chin and seriously pondered:

"Do I actually have something worth trading with Granny Yakumo?"

"...Will you just stop it already!!"

Yakumo Yukari finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

She punched Chu Bai to the ground, then directly straddled him and pinched his cheeks fiercely:

"First Granny Yakumo this, then Granny Yakumo that, did you really plan to keep calling me that if I didn't react?"

"I'm a beautiful girl who's eternally seventeen, not some Granny Yakumo, obediently call me Yukari-nee san(紫姐姐: Yukari-nee san/older sister Yukari)!"

Chu Bai slapped her hand away and responded just as impolitely:

"Why is this old woman acting like this? It's already polite of me to just call you Granny a few times! If I couldn't beat you, I would have already started chanting higher-level spells!"

"Don't think I don't know, when I opened a buffet restaurant, you were the one who led that glutton from the Netherworld to my shop!"

"And you even told her to eat as much as she wanted until she was full to bursting... I closed down the next day and went bankrupt, that business directly cost me three gold bars, you bastard!!"

Chu Bai was clearly really angry, that was his first business in Gensokyo, and it ended in complete failure.

It was from that buffet restaurant, which suffered the most losses, that his life went downhill, eventually falling to the point of begging at the Hakurei Shrine.

Hearing Chu Bai say this, Yakumo Yukari was also stunned, not expecting that he had actually found out about it.

Immediately, she slightly averted her gaze:

"Really, I have no idea what you're talking about..."

"Don't play dumb here!"

Chu Bai said angrily: "Are you here to scam me again anyway? I always feel like nothing good happens when I'm with you old hag."

"Sigh..."

Perhaps knowing that she was in the wrong, Yakumo Yukari didn't correct his statement this time, just sighed slightly helplessly:

"Shiro, the waters of Gensokyo are deeper than you imagine, and it's very different from the outside world you're familiar with."

"For here, your business model is a very novel concept. But what Gensokyo needs is not novel change, but stable balance... Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Chu Bai snorted:

"Of course I understand, I already realized this when I was wandering around summarizing my failures."

"After all, from your perspective at the time, I was also an uncertain factor, it was impossible to let me develop like that."

"So I didn't plan to ask you to return the money, I'm just calling you old timer a few times to vent my displeasure."

"...It's good that you understand, frankly speaking, I also don't want to have a conflict with you."

Yakumo Yukari suddenly tapped Chu Bai:

"Also, how did I become an old timer again? It's enough to let you vent a few times, change your address to Yukari-nee san(紫姐姐: Yukari-nee san/older sister Yukari) in the future!"

"Got it, old timer."

"You..."

Yakumo Yukari took a deep breath, silently reciting the 'don't get angry' mantra, and finally calmed down:

"Then let's get down to business, I'm here this time to make a deal with you."

"A deal?"

Chu Bai cast a suspicious glance:

"Don't tell me you saw that I made some money and are thinking of scamming me again, turning me back into a homeless person?"

"No, after all, we now know your character, and in principle, we won't interfere much anymore."

Yakumo Yukari took out a folding fan and covered her face with a smile:

"I want to entrust you with something."

"What is it?"

"Cause an 'incident(异变: abnormal change)' and become enemies with Hakurei Reimu, causing her a certain amount of trouble."

"Heh..."

Chu Bai shook his head with a sneer:

"So you're here to sow discord. Yakumo Yukari, you need to know my relationship with Reimu is as strong as gold, as close as siblings. You actually want me to cause an incident(异变: abnormal change) and become enemies with her?"

"Besides, I still need to prepare for the preliminary round of the Otaku Battle Tournament, the competition is about to start, I don't have time..."

"Reward, one million."

"............"

Chu Bai's voice suddenly stopped.

The air in the small house suddenly fell into a strange silence.

It wasn't until a long time later that he woke up as if from a dream and trembled:

"Y-y-y-you, what did you say? How much money?"

"One million."

Yakumo Yukari smiled lightly and held up one finger:

"And this is just the base reward, if your performance is excellent, the reward will be even higher."

"!!!"

One million?

One million!

One million!!!

Chu Bai stood up with a whoosh, revealing a warm smile as if by magic:

"You have a good eye for people!"

"So Yukari-nee san(紫姐姐: Yukari-nee san/older sister Yukari) came to offer me business, why didn't you say so sooner!"

"To tell you the truth, Yukari-nee san(紫姐姐: Yukari-nee san/older sister Yukari), I've actually been unhappy with Reimu for a long time, I've been wanting to go over and scold her, you... ah no, you finding me at this time is just too coincidental!"

"Yukari-nee san(紫姐姐: Yukari-nee san/older sister Yukari), please wait a moment, I'll go catch Reimu and let you do whatever you want with her..."

"Get back here!"

Yakumo Yukari grabbed Chu Bai, who was about to go out, and pressed him back onto the bed: "I have requirements, listen carefully before you act!"

Chu Bai rubbed his hands back and forth: "Tell me, I'm listening."

Yakumo Yukari looked at his greedy eyes with a sweat, only feeling that his black eyes had turned into the shape of ￥￥.

How did this guy become more and more greedy? I remember when he first came to Gensokyo, he was very generous?

"In short, my goal is to put some pressure on Reimu, so that she doesn't slack off too much as a barrier guardian, so I'm asking you to cause an incident(异变: abnormal change)."

Regaining her thoughts, Yakumo Yukari said with a slightly serious expression:

"As for the conditions you need to meet when causing an incident(异变: abnormal change), there are also strict requirements for this."

"First of all, the most basic requirement is that you can't cause an incident(异变: abnormal change) alone, or fight directly alone."

"You need to find 'at least five people' to be your accomplices, and plan this incident(异变: abnormal change) with you, and your strength can't be too weak."

As Chu Bai listened, his brows furrowed slightly.

This first request has already stumped him.

In addition to himself, he actually needs to find five more people to be accomplices and cause an incident(异变: abnormal change) with him?

He himself is new here and doesn't have many friends, even his teammates in the Otaku Battle Tournament are online friends he hasn't met.

...Where is he going to find so many people, and people who are not weak, to accompany him to cause an incident(异变: abnormal change)?

Chapter 30: The Preliminary Round Begins, Various Factions Move!

Cause an "incident(异变: abnormal change)", create trouble for Hakurei Reimu.

This is the commission given by Yakumo Yukari.

But wanting to get the reward of up to one million is by no means easy.

Because soon, Yakumo Yukari made many cumbersome and complex requests.

"If you want to cause a qualified incident(异变: abnormal change), you must meet three major elements, namely 'number of people', 'reason' and 'influence'."

Yakumo Yukari shook her folding fan lightly and said leisurely:

"So if you want to get the reward, you need to meet the following conditions—"

"1. In addition to you, you must recruit 'five people' as your accomplices to help you cause an incident(异变: abnormal change). And your overall strength can't be too bad, you can't be killed by Reimu in one move."

"2. You must have a 'suitable reason' for causing the incident(异变: abnormal change). For example, the Red Mist Incident caused by Remilia was to block the sunlight that is unfavorable to vampires; another example is the Eternal Night Incident caused by Eientei, the reason was to avoid the moon's investigation, etc."

"3. The incident(异变: abnormal change) you create must have a certain 'influence' and must create enough pressure for Reimu. If it's just childish games, I will definitely not pay."
