Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"Of course, if you'd like to stay overnight, that's perfectly fine as well."

"Ah, no need to stay overnight, as I have plans for this evening."

Chu Bai said:

"To repair my origin, I still need three of the Seven Luminaries Secret Treasures."

"It just so happens that one of my friends from Eientei sent me a message saying they can take me to get one of the treasures tonight."

"So after dinner, I'll be meeting up with her."

"I see..."

Sakuya rotated the turntable on the table, turning the most lavish dishes towards Chu Bai:

"Then please eat more, to replenish your body and energy."

"Oh, oh, then I won't stand on ceremony?"

"Please, don't."

Chu Bai chuckled, no longer paying attention to Remilia's situation.

Since thinking about it is useless anyway, he simply gave up and started devouring the food on the table.

Having not eaten all day, he was already starving.

If it weren't for Sakuya's presence, he might have even gnawed on the table itself.

...

...

After freeloading dinner at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Chu Bai leisurely picked his teeth with a toothpick, savoring the black tea that Sakuya had brought.

He also opened his fully charged laptop and entered the messaging app.

As soon as he opened it, he was immediately bombarded with messages from his good buddy Kaguya.

[Kaguya: Are you there?]

[Kaguya: Are you there?]

[Kaguya: Are you thereare you thereare you thereare you thereare you thereare you thereare you thereare you thereare you thereare you there?]

[Kaguya: I've already arrived at the Bamboo Forest entrance, where are you?]

[Kaguya: (Red face angry.jpg)]

Whoa, so fast?

Chu Bai was shocked and quickly replied to the message.

[Chu Bai: Almost there, almost there.]

[Chu Bai: Already on the way, wait two more minutes, I'll be right there!]

Not long ago, Chu Bai had contacted Kaguya while playing games with Flan.

He told her about the Seven Luminaries Secret Treasures and asked if she had any suitable treasures that he could exchange for money.

Kaguya immediately said that she did have a treasure in her private collection that met the requirements.

Moreover, she didn't plan to accept money and could give it to Chu Bai for free.

As long as Chu Bai agreed to meet her tonight and listen to her arrangements.

So they agreed to meet at the entrance of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost tonight.

He didn't expect Kaguya to arrive so early; this time, he was the one who ditched her.

Thinking so, Chu Bai immediately stood up and said:

"Sakuya, I have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave first."

"Please thank Lady Remilia on my behalf after she gets out of the bath."

"Alright, please be safe on your way."

Sakuya nodded slightly, suddenly remembering something, and quickly stopped him:

"By the way, Mr. Chu Bai, would it be convenient to draw some of your blood, about 200cc should be enough?"

"Of course, I will pay a certain amount of compensation, about 20,000 yen, is that alright with you?"

Chu Bai shook his head.

Sakuya thought he felt the compensation wasn't enough and was about to add more.

But she saw Chu Bai already rolling up his sleeves:

"I have been short on money recently because I'm afraid of being poor."

"I was scammed by that old hag, Yukari, as soon as I came to Gensokyo, losing almost all my capital, and even ending up wandering at the Hakurei Shrine."

"But even so, I'm not without principles."

"The Scarlet Devil Mansion's treatment of me has already been generous enough. If I still accept money for such a small favor, then it's not that I'm greedy, but that there's something wrong with my character."

He revealed his smooth arm and stretched it out in front of Sakuya:

"Lady Remilia's abnormal reaction should be related to my blood."

"So feel free to draw it, whether it's for consumption or for experiments."

"Just don't suck me dry, after all, I still have to hang out with another friend tonight."

Looking at Chu Bai's faint smile, Sakuya couldn't help but be slightly dazed.

Then, she also showed a gentle smile:

"The Lady was right about you. Thank you, Chu Bai."

"No, I should be the one saying thank you... Hiss, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!"

Before Chu Bai could finish his lines.

A thick, long needle rudely stabbed into Chu Bai's body.

Chu Bai's face turned pale with pain:

"Sakuya, be gentle, please be gentle!"

Sakuya comforted:

"That won't do, your constitution is very strong, I have to use force to insert it."

"Then please go slower, I can't take it so fast..."

"A long pain is worse than a short one, please bear with it a little, I'm going to start using force."

"Hiss... it hurts so much... Ah♦...!"

A passing fairy maid heard the sound coming from the restaurant, her face flushed red, and she quickly walked away.

A short fan-fiction about the "weak uke guest Chu Bai" and the "domineering head maid" quickly spread among the fairy maids.

Of course, these are all stories for later...

...

...

Chu Bai left.

Sakuya took his blood, preparing to send it to the ice storage to be stored.

As a result, she happened to run into Remilia, who had just come out of the bath.

The Lady's face was flushed, her breathing was subtle, and her footsteps seemed a little unsteady, as if she had spent a lot of energy.

Seeing Sakuya, she was immediately startled:

"Sakuya? What are you doing guarding the bathroom door?"

"I just happened to be passing by, you don't have to be nervous, I didn't hear anything."

Sakuya blinked, seeing that the Lady was still preparing to ask guiltily, she quickly changed the subject:

"Mr. Chu Bai has already left, this is the blood he left behind."

"I see you seem very interested, would you like to study it?"

"...Bring it here."

Remilia took the bottle and sniffed it hesitantly.

Hmm, there wasn't that strange aura from before.

She dipped a bit of blood with her fingertip and carefully licked it with the tip of her tongue.

The feeling upon entering her mouth was still smooth and refreshing, but she didn't experience that intensely pleasurable sensation that seemed to be bewitching.

In other words, only fresh blood can have that kind of effect...

Recalling that extreme sensation that seemed to be engraved in her mind, making all the cells in her body seem to moan.

Remilia's small face flushed again, as if her body temperature had risen again.

She was now completely sure that Chu Bai was no ordinary person.

Just that blood, full of the power of fate, was not something ordinary people could possess.

Not to mention the inexplicable effect, just taking a sip almost made Remilia lose her mind from stimulation.

Of course, this wasn't a harmful feeling like an addictive drug, but a positive, kind, warm happiness like reaching paradise.

Although she didn't know what the principle was, her plan to get close to him was indeed correct.

"Chu Bai..."

Remilia muttered to herself, her eyes flashing with a strong look of interest:

"What kind of surprises will you bring me next..."

Chapter 53: Eirin Isn't Home Today~?

"...So you didn't even arrive, did you?"

"You big liar!"

The night was deep.

Entrance to the Bamboo Forest of the Lost.

Chu Bai held his laptop computer, protesting loudly.

And from the computer's speakers came Kaguya's voice:

"Oh dear, I only said I arrived at the entrance of the bamboo forest, but I didn't say which entrance."

"After all, from my point of view, the exit is actually equivalent to the entrance, and my doorstep can also be considered the entrance to the bamboo forest..."

"I don't want to discuss philosophical topics with you!"

Chu Bai immediately bared his teeth:

"Dear brother, I can't help but want to kick your butt hard!"

"Then you have to be able to kick it... Hey, I'm behind you."

His shoulder was suddenly patted.

Chu Bai subconsciously turned his head.

He saw Kaguya smiling faintly and shaking her phone, the beauty of the girl under the moonlight was simply impossible to look away from.

However, Chu Bai was already immune to the lethality of this beauty, he just quite helplessly shut down the computer:

"Hmph, it's good that you still have some conscience."

"If you were really still at home, I would really have kicked your butt."
