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

Youyouzi held her forehead helplessly. The way she couldn't help but complain didn't make her look like a thousand-year-old undead, but rather like a lively teenage girl.

"It's not that simple."

"I'm familiar with Hunpo Yaoji's character. Even after a long time, he definitely won't turn into an old scoundrel who stalks women."

"There must be something hidden behind this, but whenever I get close to people, the demons subconsciously stay away."

"So, out of desperation, I remembered the newly established Little White Detective Yorozuya."

As she spoke, Youyouzi placed a thick envelope on the table:

"Commission: Investigate the reason why the soul demon stalks women."

"Additional request: Youmu must not know about this. After all, Youki is also a long-time employee, and we have to protect his reputation as a grandfather."

"How about it, are you willing to accept this commission?"

Chu Bai looked at the thickness of the envelope.

If all the notes in it were Fukuzawa Yukichi notes with a face value of 10,000 yen, this stack would roughly be worth at least 200,000 yen.

He weighed the envelope and said thoughtfully:

"According to normal logic, the reward for this commission is very generous, and my ability is more than enough to meet such a demand."

Youyouzi nodded:

"Right, so your choice is..."

"But I refuse!"

Chu Bai's expression suddenly darkened, his face seemed to be covered with rough lines, and his voice became deeper:

"What I, Chu Bai, like to do most is to say no to self-righteous people."

"Please take the money back, Miss Youyouzi. I will not accept this commission."

Chapter 157 Yakumo Yukari? When did she come?

There are three reasons for the refusal.

First of all, Chu Bai is currently juggling two commissions at the same time.

During the day he would go to Terakoya to attend classes, and at night he would help out at the Yaque Canteen.

Although the rewards for Yuyuko's commissions are very generous, and after finding out the truth, she might even be able to collect the wanted bounty from the human village, the total reward is a full 500,000 yen.

But Chu Bai is also responsible. If he works part-time to investigate the truth about Yao Ji, it is likely that there will be loopholes in the other two jobs he has already accepted.

He didn't want to push himself so hard unless it was absolutely necessary.

The second reason is that this matter is full of doubts.

Perhaps just as Youyouzi said, Yaoji's changes are indeed puzzling.

But behind the whole thing, there must be the figure of Yakumo Yukari.

Because someone with such a powerful aura like Yaoji entered Gensokyo, it was impossible for Old Lady Zi to be completely unaware of it.

As a close friend of a thousand years, it was impossible for her to completely ignore Youyouzi.

But Youyouko never mentioned Yakumo Yukari throughout the whole process, which seemed like she was deliberately hiding something.

The water behind was a bit deep, and Chu Bai was afraid that he couldn't control it, so he simply didn't try.

As for the third reason...

He hasn't thought about it yet.

But no matter what the situation, putting forward three key points always appears more professional and highlights his wisdom.

In short, because of the above reasons, Chu Bai decisively rejected Youyouzi's commission.

"That's it..."

After listening to Chu Bai's explanation, Youyouzi did not insist.

She simply took out her folding fan, covered half of her face with the same gesture as Yakumo Yukari, and then said leisurely:

"Forget it then. Since you don't want to accept it, I won't force you."

"But I heard that you are competing with Gu Mingjijue's Earth Spirit Hall for sales?"

Chu Bai gave a thumbs up:

"Yes, and I am very confident."

"Then you're probably overconfident."

Youyouzi said:

"Komeiji Kaku's shop has now exceeded three million in sales, and it's still trending upwards."

"……ah??"

WTF?

Three million in turnover?

Is she going to rob the Scarlet Devil Mansion?

Seeing Chu Bai's shocked expression, Youyouzi continued:

"Here is a brief report on the income and expenditure of the Earth Spirit Hall. Would you like to take a look?"

"Yes, yes, yes, of course."

Take the briefing.

Chu Bai took a closer look and saw that it was clearly written on it -

Day 1: The shop is deserted, and the profit is +0.

Day 2: The shop is in a miserable state, profit +0

[Day 3: The shop is empty, profit +0]

Day 4: Met Yukari Yakumo by chance, received 3,000,000 million yen in venue funding, profit +

"????"

"No, wait a minute?"

Chu Bai's eyes widened.

Yakumo Yukari? When did you come?

How come a three million investment suddenly came as if by deus ex machina?

It feels like the ending of Detective Conan is where Kudo Shinichi steps into the world of immortal cultivation and becomes a foundation-building monk!

And why did that old woman give so much to the Earth Spirit Temple? Was she afraid she'd pass away one day because of her old age, so she made a will in advance to divide up her property?

That should be given to Yakumo Ran and Orange Cat, right? What does it have to do with Little Five Loli?

At this moment, it seemed as if countless alpaca horses were galloping through Chu Bai's heart.

Fortunately, I couldn't see what Yakumo Yukari was thinking, otherwise she would have shouted, "I'm going to use your skull as a bowl," and then jumped out to duel with Chu Baizhenjian.

"I'm just an ordinary Yuyuko, I don't know anything."

Noticing Chu Bai's inquiring gaze, Youyouzi spread his hands:

"I just vaguely heard that Yakumo Yukari seems to have invested in a project at the Earth Spirit Hall, seemingly in preparation for the Midsummer Festival at the end of the month."

"I seem to have stumbled upon this by accident and ended up getting involved in your sales competition."

After a pause, she renewed her invitation:

"Then please allow me to ask again, Mr. Chu Bai, are you willing to accept my commission?"

“…There’s no other choice.”

Chu Bai sighed helplessly.

If you want to win the duel, you can only speed up the pace of making money and take more commissions.

Three million is a very distant number. Even if all the current commissions are completed, it is still unknown whether one million can be raised.

But Chu Bai had no intention of escaping without a fight, and the process of completing the commission was also a process of his continuous emotional enlightenment and strengthening.

Thinking of this, Chu Bai still accepted Youyouzi's deposit:

"Then this is the third commission I've accepted."

"As long as we investigate the reason behind Hunpo Yaoji's drastic change in personality, everything will be fine, right?"

"Yes."

Youyouzi reminded:

"By the way, the time when Yaoji appears is usually in the middle of the night."

"How about you try to stake out a spot in the village after get off work tonight?"

Chu Baixu narrowed his eyes:

"Good fellow, you really don't treat me as a human being."

"I go to school during the day, work at night, and even have to investigate in the middle of the night. Even the donkey in the production team would shed a few tears when seeing this!"

Youyouzi chuckled and said:

"It's just a simple investigation."

"Besides, this is only my first time camping there. It's definitely not going to be that easy to ambush him, right? Even in the game, you have to clear out a bunch of minions before fighting the boss."

...That's true.

...It's impossible for Yaoji to suddenly get close to you and attack you as soon as you accept the commission.

Thinking of this, Chu Bai put Fukuzawa Yukichi into his pocket and planned the specific route for his stay at night.

……

……

Then he felt like crying.

Under the moonlight, on the beams.

The black robe rustled and the samurai sword at his waist swayed gently.

The old man with long white hair held the hilt of the sword, and his sharp eyes, as if able to see through people's hearts, looked straight at Chu Bai who was squatting below.

There is no need to compare with portraits at all.

The person in front of me is 100% the court teacher of Baiyu Tower, the soul demon Ji whose temperament has changed drastically!

Moreover, the moment he discovered Chu Bai, Yao Ji had already pressed the hilt of the sword, and the sharp sword energy splashed everywhere as if it was free!

At this moment, Chu Bai had only one thought in his mind.

"Mom! Give me back my money!"

Chapter 158: Lao Deng, you are ready to die!

Chu Bai is actually a little weak now.

It’s not that I’m afraid, but I really did overdo it today.

Especially during the day, he used all his firepower against the little monsters, manually making them orgasm. Due to his lack of proficiency in his abilities, he consumed a lot of his energy and magic power.

After class, he went straight to the Night Sparrow Canteen to continue working, and was busy until very late. Then he ran non-stop to the Human World to stake out the monsters.

This was like "I just finished playing poker with my girlfriend and let out a satisfied sigh. Just when I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly got a call from my boss asking me to go to the 24th floor to carry a heavy bag. The elevator was broken and the air conditioner had no power. I was only paid five cents for each extra floor I climbed, and if I didn't do it, I would be fired forever." Chu Bai almost cried on the spot.
