Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"That... because my talent is a bit special, and we were both unrestrained during that time..."

"It's possible... you may have developed a dependency on me..."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Sakuya blinked, seemingly not quite understanding what Chu Bai meant.

So Chu Bai explained it directly:

"In simple terms, it's like being addicted to ○○, and the object is limited to me alone."

"...Eh? Eh? Eh??"

After a detailed explanation about the addiction, Sakuya finally understood the situation.

Although she had been showing a nonchalant attitude, she was essentially a maiden who had just experienced such things, so she certainly couldn't talk about it with a straight face.

So she swallowed slightly, not daring to look directly into Chu Bai's eyes:

"Then... then what should be done? Is there no solution?"

Chu Bai thought for a moment:

"Perhaps Doctor Eirin can concoct an antidote."

Sakuya's expression was awkward:

"Although I wouldn't want to avoid seeing a doctor, I still don't want more people to know about this."

Indeed...

Although Eirin knew that Chu Bai was indulging excessively, she didn't know the object of his indulgence.

So directly asking for help would be equivalent to exposing herself.

Chu Bai pondered:

"Then only the young mistress is left, but we have to keep it a secret from her as well..."

Sakuya hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind:

"If it really doesn't work, I'll just have to persevere through it with willpower."

"...Willpower?"

"That's right!"

Sakuya clenched her fist, her expression firm:

"As the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, how can I submit to mere desire?"

"If I can't even quit such an addiction, how can I prove my determination to serve the young mistress!"

She finally made a decision:

"So please supervise me during this time, Mr. Chu Bai."

"If I really can't hold on, please help me relieve it."

"Let's gradually reduce the frequency until I completely quit!"

Chu Bai was immediately shocked:

"Does that mean we still have to ○○ from time to time?"

"Please..."

"I can't be asked to do that!"

"Well, although I said that, my self-control as a maid is not to be underestimated."

Sakuya was full of confidence,

"Maybe I won't need your help at all, and I'll quit all at once."

"I feel like you've set a rather dangerous flag!"

Chu Bai sighed helplessly, and ultimately didn't say anything more.

After all, he had already agreed to Sakuya's request.

Although this once again, doubly, triply, quadruply lets down Xiao Ai, there's really no other good way.

I'll just have to add one more person when I confess...

"I'm sorry Xiao Ai, there will definitely not be another person!"

Chu Bai put his hands together, silently repenting in his heart.

……

……

Following Sakuya.

The second to wake up was Koakuma.

This red-haired girl looked dull and dazed, clearly not having reacted yet:

"What happened? I feel like I've slept for a long time?"

Chu Bai waved his hand:

"It's nothing, keep sleeping."

"Ugh, what an infuriating attitude..."

The attitude of treating her like a nameless extra made Koakuma feel a little resentful.

But thinking about it, she really does seem to be just an ordinary supporting character, at most just one with a name.

So she stopped being annoyed and instead busied herself tidying up the Great Library.

Patchouli also quickly opened her eyes and learned about the situation through telepathy.

"Anyway, it's good that you guys handled it."

Saying that, she even revealed a hint of teasing:

"I didn't expect the little boy I once held to have grown into such a reliable man."

"...Don't use the gratified tone of an old mother seeing her child grow up, hey," Chu Bai retorted, his face full of resistance.

As for the room on the top floor.

Remilia Scarlet was also slowly waking up.

She stretched out a big yawn, feeling that this sleep seemed to have been a bit long.

But perhaps thanks to the sleep, her body had recovered a lot, no longer feeling as drowsy as before.

However, just as she turned over, intending to call Sakuya over.

She suddenly felt that on the sheet next to her, there seemed to be a faint wet patch.

"...Hmm? Why is the bedside wet?"

Remilia curiously touched the damp area:

"Is it drool?"

"But this amount... is a bit too much..."

Chapter 242: First Day of Abstinence! Sorry, Couldn't Hold Back...

Looking at the wet stain on the sheet.

Curious, Remilia brought her little nose closer and gently sniffed.

There was actually a faint, indescribable but strangely addictive smell.

"What is it..."

Remilia thought for a moment, but couldn't think of anything that fit the criteria.

But after all, she had just woken up, and her still drowsy brain quickly put the matter behind her.

She gently shook the bell on the bedside table.

Soon, the head maid Sakuya appeared in the room.

"You're finally awake, young mistress."

Sakuya looked at Remilia with concern:

"How is your body? Are there still any uncomfortable areas?"

"Did you have any strange dreams while you were unconscious? Did you feel any sleep paralysis, or feel someone lying next to you shaking the bed?"

Remilia shook her head:

"There aren't that many strange dreams."

"I've been sleeping the whole time, completely unaware of what's happening outside."

Sakuya visibly breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good..."

"Hmm?"

"Ah, I mean, then it seems you rested well."

"That's true."

Remilia said, suddenly looking strangely at Sakuya:

"What's wrong with your legs? Why is your standing posture a bit strange?"

Sakuya's stance was different from usual.

It was as if her legs were injured, and her standing posture seemed a bit odd.

Sakuya quickly explained:

"Actually, I accidentally fell... when preparing your cold medicine, I accidentally fell on flat ground."

Remilia nodded in understanding:

"So you also took a bath to clean the dirt off your body."

"Yes..."

"Very good, as this young mistress's head maid, you must always maintain a perfect demeanor."

Remilia looked quite satisfied.

Sakuya kept apologizing in her heart, and secretly reminded herself.

She had to go to the basement later to align her story with the second young mistress.

Otherwise, if she was exposed, the young mistress would probably really cry sadly...

"By the way, Sakuya, I vaguely remember that Chu Bai came to the Scarlet Devil Mansion as a guest before I fell unconscious?"

Remilia suddenly asked:

"Did you treat him well while I was unconscious?"

"Please rest assured, I have provided the best possible service."

Sakuya reported:

"Moreover, Mr. Chu Bai also contributed greatly to solving the vampire cold this time."

"Oh, is that so?"

Remilia quickly got up:

"Then I have to go see him quickly. Sakuya, help this young mistress get up."
