Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

“How about having a boy and a girl in the future? That way, the house will be more lively.”

“...Huh?”

“...Eh?”

The two fell silent at the same time.

Looking at Chu Bai's bewildered expression, Alice finally woke up as if from a dream.

Her face flushed red, and she hurriedly changed the subject in a panic:

“N-nothing... just me talking to myself...”

“By the way, Xiao Bai, is there something you wanted to talk about today?”

Seeing that they were finally getting to the point,

Chu Bai put down his teacup, his eyes flashing with excitement:

“This time, I want to ask for your help in discussing matters related to the establishment of a detective agency.”

“Detective agency?”

Alice immediately understood:

“You mean...”

“That's right!”

Chu Bai said happily:

“After a long 114 chapters of foreshadowing, I finally saved enough money to start my own detective agency!”

Chapter 116: Displaying Affection in Public! Rumors of a Haunted House!

“Congratulations, congratulations!”

Alice clapped her hands in cooperation.

Detective work and推理 seem to have always been Chu Bai's interests.

Turning an interest into a job and earning a steady stream of income is indeed something to be happy about.

“By the way, have you thought about the name of the detective agency?”

Alice reminded:

“Only with a name that is outstanding enough will you be able to attract business, right?”

Chu Bai immediately patted his chest:

“Don't worry, I've already thought about this.”

“The new shop's name will be called 'Sure Profit Detective Agency'. It's easy to pronounce and easy to understand...”

“That's too vulgar!”

Alice almost choked on her tea:

“This kind of name is definitely not suitable, rejected!”

“Eh...”

Chu Bai proposed another suggestion:

“Then how about... 'Gazing into the Abyss Detective Agency'?”

“This time it's not vulgar, but the meaning is quite unclear. Rejected!”

“Then... 'Hot and Bothered Detective Agency'?”

“Is this a barbecue restaurant? Rejected!”

“'Holy Light Detective Agency'?”

“Too chuuni, rejected!”

“'Little Bird Spinning Detective Agency'?”

“...This is even worse than the previous 'Holy Light'.”

“............”

After rejecting many proposals in a row,

Alice said helplessly:

“Don't bring two-dimensional names into reality, please come up with a normal name.”

Chu Bai pondered for a long time, his brain working quickly.

Finally, he had a flash of inspiration and clapped his hands:

“How about this, let's just take one character from each of our names and use it as the new shop's name.”

“Eh? Okay.”

Alice certainly wouldn't refuse, and was even a little happy.

As a result, she heard Chu Bai say:

“Then let's take the 'Xiao' from 'Xiao Ai' and the 'Bai' from 'Chu Bai', and put them together to call it 'Xiao Bai Detective Agency'!”

“...?”

Alice twitched the corner of her mouth, subconsciously wanting to say something.

But in the end, she forcibly resisted the urge to complain and sighed slightly:

“Forget it, as long as you're happy.”

“And compared to the previous names, this one is at least normal...”

Thus, the name of Xiao Bai Detective Agency was decided.

...

...

Then came the matter of buying a house.

The location of the new house was of course still in the Human Village, after all, this was to be used as the base of the detective agency, so it was necessary to choose a place with high traffic.

So the two of them went together towards the shop selling houses.

It was morning, and there were still many passers-by on the street.

The scene of Chu Bai and Alice walking side by side, talking and laughing, was immediately noticed by everyone.

Immediately, many single men were completely heartbroken.

After all, with Alice's appearance, there were quite a few people who secretly admired her.

But the usually aloof her was now talking and laughing with a man, and their behavior was quite intimate.

It was obvious that she had already given her heart, and maybe they were already a real couple!

The male villagers cried and stamped their feet.

Chu Bai raised his eyebrows in confusion:

“What's wrong with them? Why do they cry wherever we go?”

Alice shook her head slightly:

“I don't know, maybe we accidentally bumped into them?”

“Then let's get closer, let's not block other people from crossing the road.”

Chu Bai took the initiative to reach out and pull Alice closer to him.

Alice immediately leaned in obediently, with a happy smile on her face.

Immediately, the villagers around them cried even louder...

Damn it, this is blatant public display of affection!

Can't you take care of single dogs and not show affection in public, damn it!

...

...

Ignoring the inexplicable passers-by,

Chu Bai and Alice arrived at the sales office.

As a result, as soon as they entered, they saw an acquaintance.

“Oh, Rinnosuke? What is it this time?”

Chu Bai said in surprise:

“Aren't you working as an accountant at the Hieda house? Why are you working here again?”

“...I told you, I'm short on money recently.”

Rinnosuke sighed helplessly:

“Originally, according to the usual custom, when I was short of money, I could go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to steal some gems.”

“As a result, I don't know which idiot fished out all the water and stole from the Scarlet Devil Mansion several times. As a result, the head maid completely strengthened the security, and now there is no chance to sneak in at all.”

“There's no way, I can only work a few more jobs to subsidize my family.”

Hearing him say this, Chu Bai felt a little guilty and shifted his gaze:

“T-that's so... then you work hard.”

Rinnosuke didn't notice anything unusual, just looked at Alice beside Chu Bai:

“Oh, isn't this the doll maker from the forest?”

“Are you two together? Are you on a date?”

“No.”

Before Alice could react, Chu Bai immediately clarified the relationship:

“Xiao Ai and I have a pure friendship, don't look at people with colored glasses.”

Rinnosuke: “...”

Looking at Chu Bai's decisive reply.

Looking at Alice's helpless but regretful gaze.

Rinnosuke immediately pulled Chu Bai to the side, glaring at him fiercely:

“Hey, are you doing this on purpose?”

“Alice is obviously in love with you, do you want to dangle her as a scumbag?”

Chu Bai shook his head firmly:

“Impossible, this must be just one of the three great illusions of men.”

“Alice is such a beautiful girl, and her personality is so good, how could she just fall in love with me?”

After confirming that Alice wasn't looking this way, Chu Bai quietly said to Rinnosuke:

“To be honest, I'm also a little moved by Alice, after all, I'm not an old monk who can sit still.”

“But this kind of thing needs to be gradual. Even if I really plan to pursue her in the future, I need to take it slowly, and I can't be too hasty and scare her away.”

Rinnosuke squinted at Chu Bai.

After a long time, he sighed helplessly:

“Okay, I won't participate in your love life, develop as you want.”

“Back to the topic, are you here to buy a house?”

Finally, we got to the point.
