Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

She plopped down on the ground, instinctively grabbing onto Chu Bai, who was standing before her, pulling the bewildered youth down to her chest.

The sudden noise startled Murasa Minamitsu, who was knocking on the door.

Forgoing formalities, she pushed the door open and rushed in:

"Byakuren-sama, what happened? I heard a noise inside… a commotion…"

"…………Eh?"

The girl in the sailor uniform stared blankly at the scene before her.

Especially at Chu Bai, who seemed to be pinning Saint Byakuren to the ground, and the traces of liquid on Byakuren-sama's legs, along with the flushed expression on her face.

Immediately, Murasa Minamitsu lowered her head and turned to leave:

"I'm sorry, I came at the wrong time…"

"No, you came at the right time."

Chu Bai quickly got up, wanting her to help support his master.

However, the sailor-suited girl suddenly panicked, waving her hands and backing away repeatedly:

"Eek? N-no, that won't do!"

"Three people together is too lewd, this is a temple after all!"

"You can play slowly, I'll take my leave first…"

Clang!

The door slammed shut.

The sailor-suited girl scurried away a great distance.

Then, he heard her saying something to others, followed by a chorus of voices from the youkai, filled with various emotions.

Chu Bai twitched his lips slightly:

"…Did Miss Murasa misunderstand something?"

"Clearly, yes."

Saint Byakuren leaned against the wall, slowly standing up.

Her amethyst-golden hair obscured her expression, and the girl seemed to emanate an extremely terrifying aura.

Chu Bai's expression changed, and he swallowed nervously:

"Wait, Master Byakuren, this has nothing to do with me…"

"I know, Layman Chu Bai."

Saint Byakuren said quietly, slowly wiping away the shameful tears from the corner of her eyes:

"I'm just going to find the culprit of this incident, and then, on behalf of Bishamonten, give her a 'small reprimand'."

"Then, this humble monk will take her leave, Layman Chu Bai, please help yourself."

She slowly put on a pair of tactical gloves, and her body surface was enhanced with high-level physical amplification.

Seeing this, Chu Bai quickly and obediently stepped aside.

Although he didn't know who the culprit was.

But she probably wouldn't have a good day today…

……

……

It is said that after this, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Myouren Temple.

Following closely behind was Houjuu Nue's voice, sounding like Tom the cat's miserable scream.

Aya Shameimaru, who was passing by, even took two photos and added the title [Screams Heard from Deep Within Myouren Temple? Monk Master Actually Does This to a Young Girl].

As a result, the sales for that issue immediately saw a significant rebound.

Of course, these are all stories for later.

Chapter 140: Wretched Dragon God Slurps Noodles, Chu Bai's Mystery of his Origins?

"It seems today's harvest was quite fruitful."

Leaving Myouren Temple.

Chu Bai walked along the path to the shrine, satisfied as he reviewed today's gains.

He not only obtained Rinnosuke's business books but also received useful advice from Saint Byakuren.

After returning home, he planned to adjust his business.

This way, when the Local Spirit Mausoleum's detective agency opens and the two sides officially engage in a duel, he will definitely be one step ahead.

"Hmm?"

However, just as Chu Bai arrived at the commercial street of the Human Village.

He suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

It was the black-haired girl he had seen before, and she was now sitting at a noodle shop on the roadside, seemingly eating.

Her demeanor and posture were still quite perfect, and even the act of slurping noodles seemed extremely refined.

…Provided that you ignore the tall stack of empty bowls beside her.

"Another bowl, please."

The black-haired girl placed the empty bowl on the top layer, then instructed the noodle shop owner.

The noodle shop owner immediately looked troubled:

"Miss, you've already eaten sixty-some bowls… how about you take a break, and let my pot rest too?"

"I can."

The black-haired girl nodded slightly:

"But I'm not finished eating yet, so don't settle the bill yet, continue making them later."

"…Okay, no problem."

The noodle shop owner wiped his sweat. He felt that the black-haired girl in front of him seemed to not have brought enough money and was delaying time by staying here.

But he quickly shook his head. Such a graceful girl, she looked like a noble lady from a prestigious family, how could she not even have the money to eat noodles?

The black-haired girl also noticed something and saw Chu Bai passing by.

Immediately, she waved gently, revealing a dignified and polite smile:

"We meet again, Little Bai."

"Oh right, do you have any money on you? Could you help me pay the bill here?"

Noodle Shop Owner: "???"

Damn it.

So you really didn't bring any money!

You were really delaying time by eating sixty-some bowls of noodles because you couldn't pay!

Chu Bai immediately narrowed his eyes:

"What's this? You're planning to borrow money as soon as we meet?"

The black-haired girl corrected:

"It's not borrowing, it's demanding, because I have no intention of returning it…"

"Hey, that's obviously even more excessive!"

Chu Bai retorted, but he didn't leave. Instead, he sat directly across from the black-haired girl.

He also beckoned to the owner next to him:

"I'll have a small bowl of knife-cut noodles as well, with extra noodles, extra meat, extra broth, and put it in a large bowl, thank you."

"Ah Minos…"

The noodle shop owner twitched his lips, thinking that no wonder these two knew each other, their personalities were the same scum.

As a result, he saw Chu Bai's appearance and was so frightened that his wrist shook, almost stabbing the noodle-cutting knife into his nose.

Damn, isn't this the evil god Chu Bai who almost destroyed the village?

Why is this guy eating noodles in the shop?

And if he doesn't pay, probably no one would dare to ask him for the bill!

The noodle shop owner was terrified and had the idea of running away with the noodle shop.

But Chu Bai took out a few bills and kindly placed them on the owner's table:

"What are you spacing out for? Are you captivated by my handsomeness?"

"…N-no."

The owner accepted the money with suspicion, confirming that it was real and didn't have a strange aura.

Could it be that the evil god has changed his nature? Or has he been influenced into becoming a partner of justice?

Muttering to himself, the noodle shop owner's impression of Chu Bai improved slightly.

The owner, who was full of inner monologues, finally restarted the pot and started making noodles.

……

……

Soon, the noodles were ready.

Chu Bai and the black-haired girl simultaneously held their bowls and slurped the noodles.

During this time, the girl took the initiative to speak:

"Thank you for your generosity, Chu Bai."

"It seems that you are completely different from the rumored stingy and petty personality."

Chu Bai smiled faintly:

"That depends on the person."

"If Rinnosuke was sitting here, I would definitely run away and not treat him to a single penny."

"But if it's someone close to me…"

Saying this, he didn't continue, but just kept slurping his noodles.

The black-haired girl paused slightly, and the look in her eyes towards Chu Bai immediately became somewhat complicated:

"Little Bai…"

"Hmm?"

"…No, it's nothing."

In the end, she still didn't make it clear.

Chu Bai knew her identity.

She also knew that Chu Bai knew her identity.

Chu Bai also knew that she knew Chu Bai knew her identity.

But like the tacit understanding they had maintained for so many years, the two just silently lowered their heads and slurped their noodles, as if everything was understood without saying a word.
