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

"Um...Xiao Ai, you don't have to act anymore, okay?"

Chu Bai couldn't help but remind:

"You don't have to keep looking at me with that look of disgust, like I'm looking at a bug, okay?"

"I'm not acting, I'm serious."

Xiao Ai said with a dark face:

"Even if there really was a reason, to actually make someone's mother look like that... H, perverted, obscene!"

Chu Bai suddenly revealed an expression of bliss:

"I mean, if you keep looking at me like that..."

"How should I put it? I might have the same reaction as Kira Yoshikage would have when he saw a beautiful girl's hand...hiss,hiss..."

"???"

Alice subconsciously took a half step back.

Bushgomen? Is that a bit of a shrew?

Seeing that Xiao Ai was really frightened, Chu Bai quickly laughed dryly:

"Just kidding, I'm not the type to seek out novelty."

"Let's get back to the point. I can't stay here any longer, otherwise there's a risk of being exposed when your mother comes back."

Alice looked at Chu Bai with empty eyes.

I always feel that after not seeing him for so many days, his emotions seem to have become much richer.

He used to be such a straight-forward guy, but now he can even make some dirty jokes.

...But, I don't hate it.

"Anyway, this is what happened..."

In just a few minutes, Chu Bai finally explained the whole story.

When Xiao Ai learned that he and his mother were not real lovers and were just having a casual affair, she was obviously relieved.

At least that kind of bloody plot doesn't seem to happen.

Xiaobai is still her Xiaobai, and has not been taken away by some other bad woman.

"Then I'll go back first. If I delay any longer, your mother will come back again."

Chu Bai waved and prepared to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he complained helplessly:

"I don't know when Mrs. Shenqi will be willing to leave. It feels like I haven't been alone with you for a long time."

Alice smiled slightly.

"Do you miss me?"

"I think so, I really want to."

Chu Bai had no intention of hiding anything from his girlfriend:

"We're in a sales competition with the Earth Spirit Hall, and we also have the old woman's pension assistance, which has unexpectedly brought in a full three million in revenue."

"Right now, the detective agency relies entirely on my efforts. If you can come back as soon as possible, it will be of great help."

“…So that’s what you were thinking.”

Alice rolled her eyes.

"Just thinking about squeezing my body isn't the same as a lover's longing, is it?"

Chu Bai quickly made amends and went over to grab her little hand:

"Oh, of course I miss my lover too. After all, my girlfriend is so cute..."

I saw the wood pouting its mouth and getting ready to come over.

Xiao Ai quickly held his head and said with a helpless smile:

"Okay, okay, let's forget about any intimate contact. It's easy for Mom to find out."

"But if you're so busy, why not recruit a new member?"

"After all, this is a detective agency. If there are only two of us, it would seem a bit shorthanded, right?"

Chu Bai nodded:

"That's true, but I have no idea about the candidates."

"As for the selection..."

Alice thought for a moment, and several faces came to mind:

"I heard that Lin Zhizhu has been working part-time jobs everywhere recently. You can ask him if he would like to work part-time in our store."

"As for Reimu, it seems like she's always short of money, so she might be thinking about getting a part-time job."

"And my best friend Marisa, who's always idle, might be interested in the Yorozuya?"

Linnosuke, Reimu, Marisa.

These three guys are all acquaintances of Chu Bai.

At present, they all seem to be potential targets for wooing.

After noting down these three people, Chu Bai smiled and gave a thumbs up:

"Military Advisor Xiao Ai is incredibly resourceful, I can't match him."

"Okay, stop joking and go. If you delay any longer, mother will be back soon."

"Then... another one?"

"Go! Go! Go……"

……

……

Wait until Shenqi comes back.

Chu Bai had already left in a cool manner.

Alice was tidying up the somewhat messy sofa and gave her mother a rather disapproving look.

"You're back? Don't you want to continue having fun with your little boyfriend?"

"hey-hey……"

Shenqi blinked awkwardly, then pounced and hugged Alice, ready to get away with it.

But suddenly, she wrinkled her nose slightly:

"Hmm? Why do I smell a man?"

Alice rolled her eyes.

"Of course it's the smell of your little boyfriend. Thanks to you, I've come into contact with the most disgusting man today."

Shen Qi quickly smiled and dispelled her doubts in her heart:

"Alice, Mom was wrong. Mom shouldn't show off her affection in front of you!"

"As expected, daughters are the closest to mothers. Come and be close to mother..."

"Go away! I'm over a hundred years old, and I'm way past the age of being intimate with my mother!"

"Hey, don't be shy. In my eyes, you will always be a seven-year-old girl, okay?"

"Get away now...if you get too close, I'll kick you out again!"

"Gu... Alice-chan is so cold..."

I absorbed a lot of my daughter's energy.

Shenqi went to meet Chu Bai secretly again.

After confirming that there were no suspicious elements, the young lady complained:

"So why did you suddenly use the law?! If I really couldn't control myself in front of my daughter, my image as a mother would be completely ruined!"

Chu Bai laughed dryly:

"I'm just following your orders and want to show my affection."

"You can't just use the power of the law directly!"

Shenqi said resentfully:

"Furthermore, in just half a month, your control over the laws has improved so much."

"Such a strong and intense law of power, even I had to go back and forth three times before... cough... it took a long time to eliminate the influence of this power."

Chu Bai gave a thumbs up:

"Hey, doesn't this show how loving we are?"

"Look at how stunned your daughter is by our intimidation. Maybe she's already thinking about cherishing you as her mother."

As he spoke, he hugged the gold bar tightly, protecting it as if it were a child.

"Of course, no matter what, you can't take back the commission."

"This is the compensation we agreed upon at the beginning, and the wealth of this shop can only be brought in but not taken out."

But after thinking about it carefully, this is my future mother-in-law, so it seems there is nothing wrong in trying to please her.

So he changed his words with great pain:

"If you're truly dissatisfied, I can refund you 1% of the huge compensation. This is already my limit..."

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that little money at all."

Shenqi's ahoge hair twitched, and it was obvious that she was in a very good mood:

"Although something went wrong in the end, as you said, Xiao Ai's attitude has changed a lot."

"So you're actually quite useful. Maybe there'll be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Chu Bai suddenly felt a little ashamed.

The reason why Xiao Ai changed her attitude was probably because she felt a little guilty, so she didn't take a tough stance as usual.

But it’s better this way, this commission is finally over.

Shenqi got temporary tenderness from her daughter, Alice got a kiss from her boyfriend, and Chu Bai got a whole gold bar.

What a happy ending! Congratulations!

……

……

There was not even a moment of rejoicing over Shenqi's departure.

Next up is the issue of new members for the Detective Yorozuya.

Chu Bai sat behind the desk, thinking carefully about future candidates.

Linnosuke, Reimu, Marisa.

These three people each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are all his acquaintances and trustworthy people.

But given the current size, it would be most appropriate to recruit only one person.

So... who should be invited first to become the third member of the glorious newbie detective Yorozuya?
