Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

The white-haired girl echoed subconsciously:

“If you want to pass, leave the toll… No, I’m not here to rob you!”

That’s right, the person who came was Fujiwara no Mokou.

At the same time, she is also one of the current guardians of the human village, a Hourai person with the ability of immortality.

She looked at Chu Bai speechlessly:

“What’s wrong with you? Why is it so easy to be led astray when talking to you!”

Chu Bai shook his head:

“Seeming foolish is actually wise, deceiving everyone with skill…”

“Stop steaming! If you continue, I’ll give 《Romance of the Three Kingdoms》 a bad review!”

The two exchanged some friendly greetings.

And Chu Bai also recalled information about Fujiwara no Mokou.

When he first entered Gensokyo, he had a small misunderstanding with Fujiwara no Mokou, and the two had a battle in the sky above the village.

At that time, Chu Bai, whose origin was sealed, couldn't beat Mokou, but he could still manage dozens of moves. As the battle progressed, the misunderstanding gradually cleared up, and the two became acquainted.

Later, Chu Bai went to the human village to claim Youki's bounty, which was considered revenge for Mokou, so the two gradually began to interact.

It is said that this immortal bird and Kaguya are rivals, and they often engage in life-and-death battles.

However, as thousands of years passed, Mokou also became more rational. So, although Chu Bai and Kaguya have close ties, she will not vent her hatred for Kaguya on Chu Bai.

“So, what’s the matter with you, the guardian of the village, coming to me?”

Chu Bai took the initiative to get to the point.

Mokou also said quite seriously:

“Actually, I’m here to ask you for help, to invite you to be a guardian of the festival.”

“Festival guardian?”

“That’s right.”

Mokou explained in detail:

“Every year during the festival, a considerable number of people get drunk and cause trouble, so this is also the busiest time for the self-defense force.”

“Especially those non-common sense existences, they are easily influenced by the lively atmosphere, and start fighting when they meet eyes.”

“So I want to invite you to be a guardian, mainly responsible for calming disputes and resolving possible emergencies.”

“After all, I heard that you don’t plan to set up a stall at the festival, so you should have a lot of free time, right? I don’t require you to be on standby at all times, just take care of things within your ability.”

Listening to Fujiwara no Mokou’s introduction.

Chu Bai just pondered slightly, and then directly agreed to her conditions:

“Sure, I’ll help with this.”

“...Eh?”

Fujiwara no Mokou was a little surprised to agree so readily:

“You actually agreed?”

“According to rumors, I thought you were a dark guy who was indifferent to other people’s free requests, and only drooled and laughed in a low voice when you saw money…”

“Where did you get this rumor from!”

Chu Bai couldn’t hold back on the spot:

“I am a noble gentleman, and I accept everyone’s requests politely. I just helped an old man cross the road a few days ago, and I help old ladies massage their muscles and bones every now and then… How could I be the kind of person you said!”

“Uh…”

Fujiwara no Mokou twitched the corner of her eye, but her evaluation of Chu Bai was indeed a little higher.

A gentleman is judged by his actions, not his thoughts. No matter what, he can accept this kind of public welfare commission for free, and he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who only sees money in the rumors.

So she didn’t complain, but praised him a few more words:

“Then it seems you really have some integrity, at least better than a certain pretentious NEET princess.”

“That’s for sure.”

Chu Bai nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, the reason why he accepted this commission, in addition to being really idle, also considered future problems.

After all, his detective agency is located in the Human Village, and the main customers of his business are also humans.

If he can build a good relationship with the village guardian Fujiwara no Mokou, and show his face in front of everyone more often, and brush up some positive image, it will definitely help his future business.

“By the way, there should be more than just the two of us as festival guardians, right?”

Chu Bai suddenly thought of something and said to Mokou:

“Although there is no actual evidence, I always feel that the atmosphere of this summer night festival is not good, and it seems that something is about to happen.”

Mokou nodded:

“Don’t worry, besides us, Reimu Hakurei and Yukari Yakumo will also be responsible for maintaining order.”

“There are also all the members of the Human Village Self-Defense Force. Although their combat power is not strong, they will not lose their momentum in terms of numbers.”

…Leaving aside Reimu and Yukari, the Self-Defense Force seems unnecessary.

…This group of ordinary people is like soldiers in a mowing game in front of non-common sense existences.

“Don’t underestimate the Self-Defense Force.”

Seeming to have noticed Chu Bai’s thoughts, Fujiwara no Mokou snorted:

“Recently, the Self-Defense Force has also absorbed some ability users such as spiritualists, yin-yang masters, and magicians. They are not completely without combat power when facing non-common sense existences.”

“And even ordinary members are proficient in physical skills, and they can fight even small monsters… probably…”

“So even you yourself are not very reassured! Then don’t let them come and die for nothing!”

“Well, at least someone has to do the chores of maintaining order.”

Fujiwara no Mokou patted Chu Bai on the shoulder:

“In short, I’ll trouble you to worry more. If we really encounter an emergency, we will rush over to support you in time.”

“ok.”

Chu Bai made a gesture of affirmation.

Mokou was satisfied, and took out a cigarette case, and took out one for Chu Bai:

“Want a Huazi?”

“No, I’m not interested in the traditional school.”

Chu Bai took out a grenade:

“Come and smoke this, this is strong.”

“???”

Fujiwara no Mokou twitched the corner of her mouth, and after holding back for a long time, she slowly replied:

“…I’m not that addicted to cigarettes, you should keep it for yourself.”

…

…

In short, he became a festival guardian.

After finishing the last day as a temporary editor, as the sun gradually set, the summer night festival was about to begin.

After leaving a note for Aya, Chu Bai left the newspaper office and flew towards the Hakurei Shrine.

“Yo, you’re here.”

As soon as he landed, he saw Reimu who was setting up the venue.

This usually lazy witch was rarely helping to move tables at this time.

Chu Bai was immediately taken aback:

“Nani? That Reimu who likes to slack off is actually working? No wonder I always feel the aura of an incident…”

“What nonsense are you talking about, I am a very diligent witch.”

Reimu put down the banquet table, and said with a beaming eyebrow:

“Especially when I think of the stall fees collected tonight, which can satisfy my wish to eat meat every day for half a month, I feel full of energy when I think of this.”

“By the way, Bai, don’t be idle, help me clean up… um? Where is he?”

The moment he heard the word help.

Chu Bai immediately ran away and disappeared from Reimu’s sight.

He ran back and forth in the huge shrine, and finally found a relatively quiet backyard.

He stopped and stretched comfortably.

“That was close, I almost got caught as a strong man.”

“Well, let’s rest here for a while, and go over when the festival officially opens.”

Thinking this way, Chu Bai chose a suitable open space, and prepared to sit down and adjust his breath a little.

But at this moment, a drunken and crisp voice suddenly sounded from behind the pool.

“Oh my… I didn’t expect anyone to come here too?”

“That boy over there… would you like to have a drink with me?”

Chapter 172 Aya riding on her, and Suika's promise!

The drunken voice made Chu Bai’s heart alarm bells ring.

The person who made the sound actually avoided his natural perception?

It wasn’t until he condensed his spirit and changed the automatic gear to manual gear that Chu Bai noticed the guy lying behind the pool.

That was a very petite girl, the double horns on her head symbolized her identity as an oni, and her beautiful face was full of drunken blush at this time. When Chu Bai’s perception swept over her, she also cooperated quite well and got up slightly, waving to Chu Bai.

“Want to have a drink together? Human?”

Chu Bai stared at her, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

“Skip the plot.”

“...Ah?”

The oni girl was a little stunned by this inexplicable dialogue.

As a result, Chu Bai said quite happily:

“You are the so-called hidden NPC, right? The super philanthropist who hides in the corner of the game map, waiting for the arrival of a destined person, and can get a powerful artifact as long as you talk to him more than a hundred times?”

“...Isn’t your play a bit too much?”

Even the bold oni was a little speechless by Chu Bai’s remarks:

“And drinking with an oni is a good thing in itself, what extra reward is there?”

“Eh, no reward.”

Chu Bai sighed leisurely:

“Then forget it, you should go drink with Fujiwara no Mokou.”

“The two of you smoke and drink, and then let her give you a free perm, and the three-piece set of crosstalk is complete.”

“...Although I don’t understand what you are talking about, I always have a inexplicable desire to complain.”

The oni girl shook her head, picked up the gourd and took another big gulp:
