Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

After arriving at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I discovered it had already been invaded.

Hong Meiling, the gatekeeper, was lying on the ground, quite disheveled and unconscious.

The atmosphere indicated traces of wind and rain.

"Sanae did it. She came to the Scarlet Devil Mansion too?"

Reimu carefully analyzed the scene.

Suddenly, a throwing knife interrupted her thoughts.

"So, you're the one who defeated the gatekeeper?"

"?"

Looking at Sakuya, who had suddenly appeared, Reimu spread her hands:

"I didn't do it. I just wanted to find Chu Bai, so I came to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to look around."

"Stop making excuses."

Sakuya snorted, pinched the throwing knife with both hands, and struck a rather cool pose:

"I sensed the aura of a shrine maiden just now. Who else could be the culprit but you?"

Reimu also said with dissatisfaction:

"I already said it was done by Kochiya Sanae."

"But whatever, since I'm here, I might as well stock up on some goods before I leave."

"...So you're still planning to rob the place, right!"

Words failed, and they started fighting directly.

Faced with this opponent who could stop time, Reimu's response was simple.

She set up a trigger-type magic circle around herself and deliberately showed an opening.

Sure enough, Sakuya immediately took the bait.

After entering the time-stopped state, she counted down while going around to the back, and casually threw a throwing knife at Reimu's back.

"Three seconds have passed."

"Time resumes flowing... What?!"

The moment time stop was canceled.

A huge explosion suddenly occurred under Sakuya's feet.

And Reimu, who appeared to have been hit by the throwing knife, directly turned into spiritual charms that scattered in all directions.

"It seems my welcome is a bit more enthusiastic."

Reimu clapped her hands and casually threw the knocked-out Sakuya to the side of the road.

She also pried off a few gems from the porch and happily stuffed them into her pocket.

Well, quite a fruitful harvest.

...

...

"It's so noisy upstairs. Is there another robber invading?"

Just as Reimu finished looting and was about to continue searching for Chu Bai.

Patchouli's voice suddenly came from the stairs.

Reimu quickly hid the gems and smiled at Patchouli, who had come over:

"There are no robbers. I'm just here to find Xiao Bai. Am I disturbing you?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would I come up here myself."

Patchouli sighed:

"Since the Scarlet Devil Mansion was rebuilt, I've been so busy cataloging books that I haven't slept much, so please be quiet."

Reimu thought for a moment:

"Then I'll help you get a good night's sleep."

Patchouli looked up slightly:

"Okay, how will you help?"

[Prepare for Duel]

Almost the instant she locked onto her aura.

Patchouli instantly transformed into a magical artillery platform and began bombarding Reimu.

All kinds of high-level magic emerged endlessly, and the various elements beat Reimu quite badly.

But Reimu also had countermeasures.

She scattered her own spiritual power and used high-density danmaku for dispersed attacks, neutralizing Patchouli's magic.

As time passed, Patchouli's stamina deteriorated, and her offensiveness decreased significantly.

Finally, with her violent coughing, she revealed a serious flaw.

Reimu instantly went around to her back and punched her hard in the chest, sending the purple-haired girl flying.

"That's too much..."

Patchouli lay on the ground, coughing violently.

Reimu said keenly:

"Don't try to hide it from me. You should have a 'mark' on your body."

"I aimed for the mark with that punch just now, and it should be completely shattered now."

Patchouli took something out of her arms.

It was a hexagram mark exactly like Marisa's, and it was also in a broken state.

Seeing this, Patchouli had to sigh:

"It seems your progress is quite good. I can only say that we've tried our best here."

Reimu said with considerable curiosity:

"What exactly is this mark? What does it have to do with the incident?"

"And what method are you using to allow ordinary villagers to use magic?"

Patchouli said, coughing:

"All I can tell you here is that the role of the mark is closely related to the ley lines."

"And on the premise of complete deployment, all the marks need to be destroyed to remove 'a certain effect'."

"...Ley lines??"

Reimu was shocked.

This little thing actually involves the ley lines of Gensokyo?

Who on earth has such means, and why are they planning this incident!

"As for more information, you can investigate it yourself."

After reciting her lines, Patchouli simply lay on the ground.

Reimu snorted with dissatisfaction:

"Okay, then I'll continue looking for Xiao Bai."

"He's a master of the magical domain. With his help, I'll definitely be able to easily solve this incident."

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

Patchouli didn't answer, but just stared at Reimu with a subtle look.

Reimu didn't care. She was just thinking about the next route.

Not in the village, not in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Then Chu Bai could only be visiting Alice's house in the Forest of Magic.

After all, they are considered very good friends.

Thinking of this, Reimu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

She stood on tiptoe, flew into the sky, and quickly headed towards the Forest of Magic...

...

...

[(Currently shattered marks: 2/6)]

Chapter 102: The Bewildered Moriya Wind Priestess (Part 1)

The long-absent second lady.jpg

Kochiya Sanae expressed her distress.

After leaving the Hakurei Shrine, she quickly flew towards the Human Village.

But after entering the village, she realized that she didn't seem to know where Chu Bai lived specifically?

"Miscalculation... I should have asked Reimu first."

Sanae immediately patted her forehead, feeling speechless at her airheadedness.

But now, going back to the shrine to inquire would definitely delay her for a long time.

So Sanae flew down and casually stopped a passerby:

"Hello, do you know Chu Bai?"

"The newcomer who fought the vampire for three hundred rounds a few days ago and also caused the Scarlet Devil Mansion's love square."

As a result, when the passerby turned around, Sanae was immediately taken aback:

"Eh, are you Kyouko-sensei?"

"...It's Moriya Shrine's Sanae-san."

The passerby stopped by Sanae was none other than Kamishirasawa Keine from the Human Village.

As a half-beast of knowledge and history, she has been hiding her identity and teaching at the village's private school.

So facing this teacher, Sanae also showed considerable respect:

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't it be class time now?"

Speaking of this, Keine showed a somewhat angry expression:

"Since those leaflets appeared, all my students have disappeared."

"Human children are chanting magic together, and those fairies are also taking the opportunity to skip class..."

Speaking of this, Keine suddenly looked at Sanae suspiciously:

"You wouldn't be the one who made these leaflets, would you? Is it a strategy for the Moriya Shrine to compete for faith?"

Sanae quickly explained:

"No, no, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just looking for someone."
