Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

She possessed a remarkably beautiful appearance and never seemed to mention her husband, leading one to suspect she was a single mother.

Such qualities would make her highly sought after in the matchmaking market. But unfortunately, Chu Bai had no plans to start a harem, especially since he already had a girlfriend.

Thinking this, he decisively reached out and began to reject her:

"I'm sorry, Madam, you're a good person, but we're not a match. I'm a pure love advocate and have no interest in married women, especially those who already have families…"

"Wait, don't be so quick to refuse!"

Shinki quickly interrupted, the ahoge on her head gently swaying:

"I knew it, you've misunderstood again. Please, just hear out my request!"

Chu Bai righteously stated:

"I'm truly sorry, but no matter the request, I could never marry you."

Seeing his resolute demeanor,

Shinki didn't waste any words and directly pulled out a Fukuzawa Yukichi bill from her pocket.

Chu Bai immediately raised his eyebrows:

"Ah~~ I think this matter might have room for negotiation."

"Please come in, Madam. I'll brew some tea for you."

Shinki's forehead immediately beaded with sweat.

Why were all the powerful beings in Gensokyo so lacking in morals?

Wouldn't letting her daughter live in a place like this corrupt her…

……

……

"Is black tea the only option?"

"It's fine."

After serving the tea,

Shinki took a small sip.

Chu Bai finally learned the details of the matter.

It turned out that Madam Shinki's daughter had recently entered her rebellious phase, and her attitude towards her mother had become quite harsh. She not only repeatedly kicked her out of the house but also didn't seem to cherish her mother's feelings.

As the saying goes, what you can't get is always what you desire. So, Shinki wanted to ask Chu Bai to help her put on a show.

She wanted to pretend to find a father for her daughter, hoping to create a sense of crisis in her daughter that her mother was being taken away, which might make her cherish her mother more.

"And that's why I thought of you."

Shinki looked at Chu Bai intently:

"Compared to other men, you're much more pleasing to the eye."

"Plus, you run a handyman service, so could you cooperate with me and play the role of my new boyfriend?"

Listening to Shinki's request,

Chu Bai revealed a clear look of difficulty.

After all, he already had a girlfriend, so taking on this kind of request was really inappropriate.

Although Xiao Ai was currently busy dealing with her mother, he couldn't guarantee she wouldn't misunderstand.

As for the possibility that Shinki and Alice were the same mother and daughter, Chu Bai had actually considered it.

But thinking about it carefully, these two were completely different.

One had white hair, the other had blonde hair; one had small breasts, the other had large breasts; one was a seemingly divine being, the other was an ordinary magician; one's surname was Shinki, the other's was Ai…

Plus, their personalities were completely opposite, so it seemed unlikely that they were biological mother and daughter.

But to be safe, Chu Bai rationally asked:

"By the way, Madam, your daughter…"

"Please rest assured, my daughter is very well-behaved. Even if the plan is exposed, she will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Seeing Chu Bai's hesitant expression, Shinki thought she hadn't added enough money.

So, she simply took out her wallet and pulled out a gold bar:

"Although it might sound like bragging, I am quite wealthy, especially when it comes to money."

"Chu Bai, young man, do you think this is enough as compensation?"

The dazzling gold bar directly blinded Chu Bai's eyes.

Roughly estimated, the value of this gold bar was probably at least a million!

In the face of the terrifying aura of the gold bar, all logic and meticulousness were completely defeated.

Without any hesitation, Chu Bai revealed a steel-like determined gaze:

"Your sincerity has moved me, Madam Shinki. I accept this request."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely play the role of an excellent husband!"

"Mm-hmm, that's good."

Shinki said with a smile:

"By the way, since it's role-playing, please be a little careful about actual skin contact. If it exceeds the necessary dimensions for the play, I will be a little angry."

Chu Bai gave a thumbs up:

"Don't worry, avoiding suspicion, I understand."

"Not to brag, but I was… cough, I used to be unpopular with girls, and I will definitely perfectly grasp the dimensions of interacting with the opposite sex."

"Mm-hmm, that's good…"

……

……

And so, the request was settled.

After discussion, Shinki decided to officially start the play tomorrow morning.

After sending away this wealthy madam, Chu Bai simply weighed the gold bar, and combined with the gold price in Gensokyo, gleefully wrote down the words [Income +1,139,800].

"The language of steel wool is patience and wealth."

"I must take this request seriously and not let this hard-earned wealth slip away."

"After all, this is the best opportunity to beat Koishi Komeiji's 3 million sales!"

Chu Bai pondered secretly:

"But then again, this fake boyfriend request doesn't have a specific time limit."

"Should I hire another employee to complete other requests and promote sustainable development?"

"Well, I'll think about this carefully when I'm free."

……

……

So, the next day.

After carefully dressing up, Chu Bai followed Shinki to her daughter's house.

But as he walked, he suddenly felt that this road was quite familiar, as if he had walked it many times before.

Especially after entering the Forest of Magic, the approaching house felt like his second home.

A bad feeling gradually arose in his heart, and the question he didn't have time to ask yesterday was finally asked:

"Um, what's your daughter's name?"

"Alice, oh."

Shinki said with a smile and had already taken out the key and opened the door to Alice's house:

"Alice Margatroid. How is it? A very lovely name, right?"

Alice, who was inside the house, also heard the noise.

She looked over directly and casually said:

"Are you back, Mother? Please help me wash the vegetables…"

Chu Bai: "…………"

Alice: "…………"

The two's gazes met.

The suspended heart finally died.

After a moment of silence, Chu Bai slowly revealed a relieved look.

Ah ah… so that's how it is…

His girlfriend's mother was actually his wife.

This is really an explosive and shattering plot development…

……

……

On the other side, Alice was still wondering.

Why was Little White accompanying her mother home?

According to her mother's personality, if she knew about their relationship, she definitely wouldn't agree, right?

Could it be that he had completely won over her mother?

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Shinki reveal a sweet expression:

"Xiao Ai, this is Mom's new boyfriend, you can call him Uncle Chu Bai."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you might even change your address to Daddy Chu Bai in a while."

Alice: "????"

What?

What's going on?

How did a good boyfriend suddenly become a dad?

Seeing Alice shocked on the spot, Shinki thought her method had worked. Xiao Ai had finally realized that her mother was about to be taken away and was planning to start cherishing her.

So, she quickly nudged Chu Bai, signaling him to increase the intensity and continue to show affection according to the original plan:

"Hurry up, Chu Bai, what are you standing there for? It's time to act according to the plan!"

Chu Bai swallowed.

He decisively activated the skill of time-stopping thinking and immediately sorted out the current situation.

It seemed that Shinki was Alice's mother, the ultimate boss who strictly restricted Alice from dating.

But by mistake, Xiao Ai herself had misunderstood them.

Explaining through telepathy was impossible.

Shinki's perception was far superior to theirs, and telepathy would definitely be discovered.

At that time, Shinki would definitely know about his connection with Xiao Ai, and their status as lovers would easily be exposed.

Even pretending to be acquaintances was not very feasible, because Shinki was a serious daughter-con, which could easily startle her and make her develop a strong sense of vigilance.

As for turning around and leaving, giving up the request…

That wouldn't work either.
