Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"Alright, stop blocking the way. We're going to resolve the incident, or you can just join us, you know?"

The result, however, was an unexpected answer:

"But I refuse."

"Huh?"

Reimu was slightly taken aback.

Then Marisa snapped her fingers, and a cute star popped out from her fingertip:

"Sorry, Reimu, but I'm here to be your opponent this time."

"If you want to resolve the incident, you have to defeat me first."

Reimu immediately looked at her suspiciously:

"Hey, Sasa, did you eat the wrong mushroom?"

"What? Today I ate jam bread."

"That's not the point!"

Reimu scrutinized Marisa with suspicion:

"You, who always tend to maintain order, actually ran to the side that caused the incident? What are you plotting?"

Marisa replied with a grin:

"Don't know. Anyway, you can't move forward unless you defeat me."

"...It seems this battle is unavoidable."

Without another word, Reimu directly took out her purification rod and spirit talismans.

Marisa also took out her Mini-Hakkero.

Under Chu Bai's guidance, her magic level has obviously improved, and even her spellcasting posture has changed:

"Let's have a good fight, Reimu!"

"Recently, my magic level has improved by leaps and bounds. You'll suffer if you underestimate me!"

The two of them got into their stances.

The signal of [Duel Preparation] seemed to flash before their eyes.

They rushed towards each other at the same time and began unleashing their respective combos.

...

...

"...So I'm just being left aside?"

Looking at the two who quickly became engrossed in their fight.

Sanae sighed helplessly.

Reimu also noticed her, so she took the time to shout to her:

"Go to the Human Village and find Xiaobai first, I'll be there soon."

"Okay, then I'll go ahead."

Sanae didn't stand on ceremony with Reimu and flew directly towards the Human Village.

As a wind priestess with more acute senses, she always felt that this matter seemed to have a lot to do with Chu Bai.

Of course, no matter what, she had to see him in person before drawing a conclusion.

Thinking like this, she accelerated again, her figure quickly disappearing into the distance...

Chapter 101: The Boar-Rushing Red-White Shrine Maiden (Part 2)

Marisa's progress is indeed very obvious.

Reimu had already noticed it when they first exchanged blows.

Although her physical skills are still half-baked, her skills in releasing magic have improved significantly.

Even many of the moves she unleashed gave Reimu a faint sense of crisis.

"You've made great progress."

Reimu held her purification rod, and her eyes also showed a bit of solemnity:

"Did Chu Bai teach you?"

"That's right."

Marisa chuckled.

In order to defeat Reimu, she also secretly worked hard and spent a lot of effort.

She even forcibly overcame her shame and, on the second day of treating Chu Bai as a self-worship object, ran to ask him about magic problems.

As a result, every time she finished asking, she couldn't help but reach out with a sense of guilt that night...

It was as if Chu Bai was some kind of human-shaped aphrodisiac; the more her heart surged, the more easily she was affected.

Oh dear, I'm thinking too far.

Marisa quickly came back to her senses and took out her Mini-Hakkero:

"Let you see the modified magicannon by Xiaobai."

"Love Sign - [Final Spark · Modified]!"

Even Reimu had to treat such an attack with caution.

The purification rod in her hand rose, the spirit talisman ascended, and a faint declaration was shouted from her mouth.

"Spirit Sign - [Dream Seal · Collection]!"

Spiritual power flickered.

Head-on collision.

As if to fulfill her friend's wish to test her strength, Reimu did not dodge but engaged in a head-on duel with Marisa.

Rumble!!!

A huge roar, accompanied by a gorgeous explosion, appeared in the front yard of the Hakurei Shrine.

When the smoke cleared, Marisa had already fallen to the ground in a disheveled state, and even her hat had been knocked off to the side.

"I still lost."

However, she was not discouraged but instead showed a happy smile.

Her strength had indeed increased; she couldn't have forced Reimu to this extent before.

"So, can you tell me the truth now?"

Reimu came to Marisa, also looking a bit disheveled.

But Marisa just took out the keepsake from her arms.

It was a six-pointed star-shaped stone that looked very delicate, but it was already in a broken state.

"According to that guy, there are six such marks in total."

Marisa said:

"As long as you break all the marks, you can resolve the current crisis."

"...Hey, riddle-makers get out of Gensokyo."

Reimu squinted her eyes, but no matter how she coerced and lured, Marisa refused to release more information.

So she could only temporarily write down the information about breaking the marks.

Then she continued to move forward, intending to find Chu Bai and share this news with him.

...

...

[ (Currently broken marks: 1/6) ]

...

...

Soon Reimu arrived at the Human Village.

But when she came to Chu Bai's house, she found it empty.

And even Sanae was nowhere to be found.

Reimu stood in the sky above the village, looking around somewhat blankly.

And at this moment, accompanied by a sudden increase in temperature, a white-haired girl flew over from the side.

"Isn't this the Hakurei Shrine Maiden? Why are you acting so sneaky?"

Reimu took a closer look and realized it was Fujiwara no Mokou, who was responsible for maintaining law and order.

So she immediately replied:

"I'm not being sneaky. I'm here to investigate the incident."

"Incident?"

Mokou raised her eyebrows slightly:

"I haven't noticed any incident. On the contrary, Keine suddenly disappeared."

"And I sensed the aura of battle. Could it be that you are bullying her?"

Reimu shook her head repeatedly:

"How is that possible? I don't have the time to bully that white beast."

"It's you, though. Haven't you really noticed the aura of the incident? I feel like you're the one who's a little suspicious."

[Duel Preparation]

If you think someone is suspicious, just beat them up.

So the two rushed towards each other at the same time and started unleashing their combos.

Fujiwara no Mokou is an immortal Hourai human, so she can recover quickly even if she is injured.

Therefore, Reimu strived for a quick decision, intending to instantly kill her opponent.

So she released her ultimate move from the start, and a barrage of spirit talismans flew towards Mokou.

"[Dream Heaven]!"

Rumble----

The impact of the spirit talisman explosion directly blew away half of Mokou's body.

Mokou, who had lost her fighting power, immediately complained dissatisfiedly:

"Hey, who starts with an ultimate move right away!"

"I told you I'm in a hurry and need to get going."

Reimu withdrew her magic.

It seemed that Mokou was indeed not an insider, and there was no aura of a mark on her. She was really just looking for Keine.

So after thinking for a while, Reimu changed her target.

Chu Bai seems to have a good relationship with the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

If he's not at home, he might be there.

After making up her mind, Reimu continued to fly towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
