Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Kaguya covered her face with both hands, and through the gaps between her fingers, her pretty face could be seen clearly flushed.

Her plan succeeded.

In the end, she successfully played a prank, causing Chu Bai to lose his composure and become embarrassed.

…But something feels a little off?

…Why do I seem even more flustered than Little Bai?

…Why do I have so many chaotic emotions when we've only met for half a day?

With all sorts of thoughts, Kaguya quickly flew back to Eientei and then dived straight into bed.

Rolling over and over.

Rolling over and over again…

Chapter 38: Identity Exposed! Good Brother Turns Out to Be a Beautiful Girl?

Chu Bai didn't know that Kaguya had fallen into a state of mysterious shyness.

After they parted, he returned to the arena and began to watch the competition from a spectator's perspective.

Perhaps inspired by Chu Bai's act of summoning blood corpses.

The contestants who participated next showed their skills in various ways.

Some detonated smoke bombs, relying on the smoke screen to muddle through.

Some set out a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, using delicacies to distract others.

Some even entered the arena in a Gundam, aiming the cannons on their bodies at the contestants in the same arena while filling out the exam paper, putting immense pressure on them.

These methods were simply more and more abstract, making Chu Bai break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, no strange things happened in Marisa and Alice's examination room, and they also finished their papers step by step.

"Look, look, the world is going downhill, people's hearts are not what they used to be."

After Sasha and Alice appeared, Chu Bai immediately became indignant:

"They actually brought a Gundam to the competition, is this still a宅斗meeting? Does this have anything to do with otaku?"

"…I think your blood corpse is more outrageous than Gundam."

Marisa retorted, quite embarrassed:

"At least Gundam is a popular hobby among otaku, barely related to otaku."

"What about your blood corpse? What does it have to do with otaku?"

Chu Bai pondered for two seconds:

"…The relationship between eating and being eaten?"

"What kind of relationship is that! And are your blood corpses actually eating people?"

Marisa expressed her shock:

"Don't use such dangerous summons to help you write papers, damn it!"

Chu Bai chuckled dryly and made a guess in his heart.

Since they could make such sharp retorts, their performance must be good, and advancing should not be a problem.

As for the specific results, they would not be revealed until a few days later.

And those who passed the preliminary round would continue to participate in the preliminary competition of the Otaku Battle, which would be the real test.

……

……

After that, the three chatted for a while.

Because it was almost lunchtime, they prepared to go eat together.

But Chu Bai suddenly remembered something:

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"Are you familiar with Patchouli Knowledge of the Scarlet Devil Mansion? If I want to see her, do I need to make an appointment or something?"

This was a suggestion made by Yukari Yakumo not long ago.

That old woman said that Patchouli was a great magician who had lived for hundreds of years and might possess the knowledge to repair the source of magic.

If he could get her help to repair the source and restore his strength.

Even if it was only a small part of his strength, Chu Bai would have the capital to cause an incident.

"You mean Patchy? Of course, I'm very familiar with her."

Marisa immediately smiled confidently:

"You don't need to make an appointment to see her at all, you don't even need to go through the main entrance."

"Just blast a hole in the wall with a cannon and swagger in to see her~☆"

"…I am the kind Chu Bai, not the unscrupulous thief, Black and White. Rejected!"

Chu Bai knocked Marisa, causing the girl to pout in dissatisfaction.

Alice next to her spoke up in a timely manner:

"Theoretically, you can see Patchy as long as you enter the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

"And with our identities, basically, as long as we explain our intentions, we can go in freely."

"I see."

Chu Bai nodded slightly and said his plan:

"There should still be some time before the preliminary results are announced. I plan to use these few days to visit Patchouli and see if I can find a way to repair the source of magic."

"Huh? Repair the source?" Alice said in surprise, "Can Patchy do that kind of thing?"

Chu Bai shook his head:

"I don't know, so I have to visit her specifically and talk to her."

"Also, I heard that there is an unwritten rule in Gensokyo that before a newcomer moves into Gensokyo, they must cause an 'incident' to announce their existence to the whole village."

"I am also a person who cares about face, if I can restore a certain amount of strength, I also want to have a big incident and say hello to everyone in Gensokyo."

"Oh, oh, an incident!"

Marisa's eyes lit up:

"Although I used to be the one to eliminate incidents, if it's Little Bai, I can help you out."

Alice also nodded obediently:

"I have no problem either, you can come to me anytime if you need help."

"Hehe, then I won't be polite when the time comes."

With Sasha and Alice's help.

Chu Bai could be considered to have found two helpers, and he was only three people away from the five accomplices required by Yakumo Yukari.

However, the top priority is still to prioritize repairing the source and restoring strength.

After all, he is the mastermind behind the incident, the final boss in the game.

If he was knocked down by Reimu with one punch as soon as he appeared, then Yakumo Yukari would definitely not give him a dime…

……

……

After lunch, everyone went home.

Looking at the time, Chu Bai planned to visit Patchouli early tomorrow morning.

But at this moment, the computer next to him suddenly issued a prompt.

[Beep beep beep]

[The Princess of the Moon requests a video call with you]

[Accept/Reject]

Chu Bai immediately came back to his senses and almost forgot about his good teammate.

Clicking accept, he put on his headphones.

The familiar rabbit headgear reappeared before his eyes.

"I'm sorry."

At the first sight of Chu Bai, the Princess of the Moon immediately chose to apologize:

"Until the end, I couldn't make it to the preliminary round, this time you were really the only one contributing."

"If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, please feel free to complain or blame me."

Saying that, she explained the reason why she couldn't participate in the competition.

After understanding the situation, Chu Bai waved his hand generously:

"It's okay, it's okay, after all, your nemesis came to your door, this is also inevitable."

"And I also had a lot of gains today, not only did I successfully survive the preliminary round, but I also met a very beautiful girl."

"We went shopping and playing together, and she also gave me a precious gift."

Chu Bai casually changed the subject.

And the Princess of the Moon was immediately transferred attention:

"Oh, you actually had a beautiful girl accompany you shopping, you really are happy."

"By the way, is that girl pretty? What is her personality like? How do you view her?"

The Princess of the Moon, that is, Kaguya, looked at Chu Bai in the screen with anticipation.

As a friend, she really wanted to know what Chu Bai's evaluation of her was.

And Chu Bai, as if chatting with a good brother, spoke vividly:

"Just looking at the appearance, that girl is really the best of the best, she is already one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen in my life!"

"I see, she is actually a great beauty…"

Kaguya echoed, the expression hidden behind the headgear already revealing a smile:

"What about her personality? What do you think of her personality?"

"Her personality is also quite good!"

Chu Bai praised repeatedly:

"Although she occasionally has some inexplicable little tempers, but overall she is still very rational, very gentle, simply the image of a standard Yamato Nadeshiko!"

"Oh, my…"

Being praised so strongly by Chu Bai, Kaguya's heart had already surged with quite pleasant emotions.

The face behind the headgear was already full of smiles, and her expression became a little floaty:

"It seems you had good luck today, you actually had such a perfect girl shopping with you."

"Yes, I was really lucky."

Chu Bai nodded and said quite casually:

"By the way, what was the name of the gem you gave me today? I seem to have forgotten its function?"

"That, that is a ruby called Flame Thorns."
