The Great Detective of Gensokyo, but surrounded by Shura Field!

Remi stared at Alice blankly, while Alice complimented him in an exaggerated tone:

"When it comes to kissing, Lady Remi is surprisingly calm and composed."

"Looking at how mature Remi-sama is, she must have had many similar experiences before, right?"

A light compliment reached my ears.

With Sakuya's help, Remi finally returned to normal.

Seeing the stairs coming down, she naturally stepped on them quickly:

"Hmph... That's natural..."

"A mature noble like me kisses ten thousand people every day, and has tens of millions of servants bowing down to me."

"Of course I won't panic over something as trivial as losing my first kiss!"

Hey, it’s exposed.

She revealed that it was her first kiss.

Alice saw through it but didn't say anything, she just breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Bai also hurriedly thanked her secretly. Fortunately, Xiao Ai came to the rescue in time, otherwise the bounty would have been lost.

"...Humph, I don't want to pay attention to you."

For some reason, Xiao Ai suddenly became sullen, and there was a hint of shame and resentment in her eyes when she looked at Chu Bai.

Chu Bai scratched his head. Women's hearts are really hard to understand.

No wonder his master once told him to try to have less contact with women in the future and just focus on studying magic.

……

……

"...So where do you want to run to? The black and white mouse over there?"

A cold voice sounded.

Marisa, who was about to sneak away, suddenly froze and stood still.

"Ahaha, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to turn off the gas at home. I have to go back quickly."

"I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving now~"

"Hmph, want to run away?"

Before Marisa could run away.

It seemed as if time suddenly stopped for a moment.

The next moment, dozens of silver throwing knives appeared around Marisa.

"Whoaaah!"

Marisa was so stabbed that she jumped up and down, and she didn't forget to complain loudly:

"That's not the case, Sakuya. I just wanted to lend you a few things, why are there traps and flying knives?"

"How dare you ask to borrow it? Besides, you caused a big disaster this time. You even caused Lady Remi to lose her first kiss!"

"Accident, this is an accident!"

"Questions and answers are useless. Just accept the punishment honestly!"

Sakuya and Marisa became close friends.

Remlia came to Chu Bai again.

Although she subconsciously wanted to move closer, she recalled the accident just now and finally took a half step back.

"Ahem, Chu Bai, what happened just now was all an accident."

"You must absolutely forget about that, remember?"

Chu Bai responded cooperatively:

"What kind of accident happened just now? I don't know anything."

"very good!"

Remi nodded in satisfaction.

"I remember the reward for hiring you as a detective this time was about 10,000 yen."

"Sakuya is so stingy. If this gets out, people will think we in the Scarlet Devil Mansion have no money."

In Chu Bai's eyes that suddenly lit up.

Remi snapped her fingers lightly:

"I have decided to double your bounty and then add a zero."

"You can take the 200,000 yen reward now."

"!!!"

Seize, seize less?

Two hundred thousand? ?

Feel the domineering aura emanating from that petite body.

Chu Bai directly used a smooth combo:

"I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master! If you don't abandon me now, I am willing to become your adoptive mother..."

"Wait a minute! How did you become my stepmother?"

Remlia almost couldn't hold it in any longer.

She took a deep breath and managed to maintain her usual composure:

"Although your fate is indeed closely linked to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, now is not the time for you to join."

"And more than that, I need to ask you a question."

"Chu Bai, do you believe in fate?"

Looking at Remi's serious expression.

After a moment of thought, Chu Bai gave a serious answer:

"That depends on who asks me."

"If Marisa had asked that, I would have kicked her ass without hesitation."

"But if it's you, a young lady with the ability to manipulate fate, then I will definitely choose to believe you."

"Is this so..."

Remlia nodded slightly, then just stared at him motionlessly.

Chu Bai didn't know how to react. He winked at Alice but was ignored, so he just looked at Remi.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

Remlia didn't look away until Sakuya kicked Marisa out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

And for some reason, when she looked at Chu Bai, there was actually a hint of extremely subtle girlish shyness?

"Oh, forget it, just go."

Remlia sighed and turned away.

Chu Bai glared behind him.

What the hell? There's no sequel?

The Riddler, huh?

Playing big chess, right?

If you put this in a novel, readers will definitely criticize you!

But Remlia is a big money sponsor after all.

Chu Bai certainly wouldn't ask for trouble. He just sighed silently and then turned to find the head maid:

"Sakuya, look at the sun in the sky. Does it look like the two hundred thousand dollars the young lady just promised me?"

"...Please rest assured, the bounty you deserve will definitely not be less."

And on the other side.

After a slight hesitation, Alice walked to Chu Bai's side.

"Feel sorry."

"Ok?"

Chu Bai, who had received the bounty and was counting the money, turned his head and said:

"What's wrong, Ai? Why are you apologizing?"

Alice's expression was a little tangled:

"Because I ignored you just now and treated you very badly."

"Actually, I don't know why this happened. It's just that when I saw you and Remi kissing, my mood suddenly became much worse..."

Chu Bai suddenly realized:

"Oh, I thought it was something else. This is a very normal psychological state."

"If a good friend suddenly makes a new friend, anyone would definitely feel uncomfortable. After all, everyone has possessiveness."

"So there's no need to apologize for this kind of thing. Even I would have the same emotion."

"……Yeah?"

Alice tilted her head in confusion.

I always feel that what Chu Bai said seems to be completely different from her mood.

But forget it, since Chu Bai doesn't mind, there is no need for her to worry about it.

I wish this comfortable friendship could last forever.

"Okay, Xiao Ai, stop worrying about it."

Chu Bai snapped his fingers, and his tone became more arrogant:

"We made a lot of money today, let's go eat hot pot, it's my treat!"

"Well, then I won't be polite, will I?"

"Don't be polite, we're just friends!"

The two of them left the Scarlet Devil Mansion and gradually walked away towards the Lake of Mist.

The theft of books from the Scarlet Devil Mansion came to a successful conclusion.

……

……

【Chapter 13.5】

at the same time.

Inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Remlia sat on the bed, recalling what had just happened.

“I can’t be mistaken…”

"That extremely powerful force of destiny, and that thick and complex thread of fate..."

"No, that's not right. It should be called the Web of Destiny."

From her perspective.
