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

The white-haired girl followed suit subconsciously:

"If you want to pass through here, you have to stay and buy your way... No, I'm not here to rob people!"

That’s right, the person who came was Fujiwara no Mokou.

He is also one of the current guardians among humans and a Penglai person who possesses the ability of immortality.

She looked at Chu Bai speechlessly:

"What's wrong with you? Why do I always get led astray when I talk to you?"

Chu Bai shook his head:

"If you are foolish, you will be at peace. If you are clever, you will deceive everyone..."

"Stop steaming! If you keep doing this I'll give a bad review to 'Three Kingdoms Slayer'!"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries in a friendly manner.

Chu Bai was also recalling the information about Fujiwara no Mokou.

When he first entered Gensokyo, he had a small misunderstanding with Fujiwara no Mokou, and a battle broke out between the two of them over the village.

Although Chu Bai, whose essence was sealed at that time, could not defeat Mei Hong, he could still easily fight her for dozens of moves. As the battle progressed, the misunderstanding gradually resolved, and the two of them became acquainted with each other.

Afterwards, Chu Bai went to the human world to collect the reward offered by Yao Ji, which was also considered as revenge for Mei Hong, so the two gradually started to have contact.

It is said that this Phoenix is a sworn enemy of Kaguya, and the two often fight for their lives.

However, as the millennia passed, Meihong became more rational. So even though Chu Bai and Kaguya were close, she would not vent her hatred for Kaguya on Chu Bai.

"So, you, the village's protector, what brings you to me?"

Chu Bai took the initiative to get to the point.

Meihong also said seriously:

"Actually, I came here to ask for your help and invite you to be the guardian of the festival."

"Guardian of the festival?"

"Yes."

Meihong explained in detail:

"During the annual festival, a considerable number of people get drunk and cause trouble, so this is also the busiest time for the vigilantes."

"Especially those who are not common sense. They are easily affected by the heated atmosphere and will start fighting as soon as their eyes meet."

"So I would like to invite you to be the guardian. Your main responsibility is to quell disputes and resolve any emergencies that may arise."

"After all, I heard that you don't plan to set up a stall at the festival, so you should have a lot of free time, right? I don't expect you to be on call all the time, just take care of it within your ability."

Listening to Fujiwara no Mokou's introduction.

Chu Bai only thought about it for a moment before agreeing to her terms:

"Sure, I'll help you with this."

"……Eh?"

Fujiwara no Moeko was a little surprised by the quick agreement.

"You actually agreed?"

"Based on the rumors, I thought you were a shady guy who was indifferent to other people's free requests and only drooled and laughed at the sight of money..."

"Where did this rumor come from?"

Chu Bai couldn't hold it back on the spot:

"I'm a noble and upright man. I politely accept everyone's requests. I just helped an old man cross the street a few days ago, and I massage old ladies every now and then... How could I be the kind of person you're talking about?"

"Uh……"

Fujiwara no Momoru twitched her eyes, but in her heart she had a higher opinion of Chu Bai.

A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by his heart. No matter what, the fact that he accepted this kind of public welfare commission free of charge does not show that he is the money-hungry person as rumored.

So she didn't complain, but instead praised him a few more times:

"Then it seems you actually have some integrity, at least much better than that pretentious neet girl."

"Of course."

Chu Bai nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, the reason why he accepted this commission was not only because he was really free, but also because he took future issues into consideration.

After all, his detective shop is located in the human world, and his main clients are humans.

If you can establish a good relationship with the village guardian Fujiwara no Moeko, show up in front of the public more often, and create a positive image, it will definitely be helpful for future business.

"By the way, there should be more than just the two of us guarding the festival, right?"

Chu Bai suddenly thought of something and said to Meihong:

"Although there's no actual evidence, I have a feeling the atmosphere at this summer night festival isn't good, as if something's about to happen."

Meihong nodded:

"Don't worry, besides us, Hakurei Reimu and Yakumo Yukari will also be responsible for maintaining order."

"There are also all the members of the Self-Defense Force. Although their combat effectiveness is not strong, at least they will not lose momentum in terms of numbers."

...Leaving aside Reimu and Yakumo Yukari, it seems there's no need for the Self-Defense Force.

...These ordinary people are just like the soldiers in the lawn mowing game in front of the non-common sense existence.

"Don't underestimate the vigilantes."

As if she had figured out Chu Bai's idea, Fujiwara Mohong snorted:

"The Self-Defense Force has recently absorbed some people with special abilities, such as spiritualists, onmyojis, and magicians. They are not completely powerless against those who are not aware of the situation."

"And even the ordinary team members are skilled in physical skills, so they can fight even if they encounter small monsters... I guess..."

"So even you yourself are worried! Then don't let them come and die!"

"Well, at least someone has to do the odd jobs like maintaining order."

Fujiwara Mohong patted Chu Bai's shoulder:

"Anyway, thank you for your concern. If there really is an emergency, we will rush over to support you in time."

"Ok."

Chu Bai made an affirmative gesture.

Meihong was satisfied and took out a cigarette box and gave Chu Bai a cigarette:

"Want a Chinese taro?"

"No, I'm not interested in traditionalism."

Chu Bai took out a grenade:

"Come and smoke this, it's very strong."

"???"

Fujiwara no Momoko twitched the corners of her mouth, and after a long pause she slowly replied:

"...I'm not that addicted to smoking. You should keep it for yourself."

……

……

In short, you become the guardian of the festival.

After finishing my last day as the temporary editor-in-chief, as the sun gradually sets, the Summer Night Festival is about to begin.

After leaving a note for Wenwen, Chu Bai left the newspaper office and flew towards the Hakurei Shrine.

"Yo, here we come."

As soon as I landed, I saw Reimu setting up the venue.

This usually lazy witch was now helping to move the table, which was a rare occurrence.

Chu Bai was suddenly startled:

"What? That lazy Reimu is actually working? No wonder I always feel like something's up..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm a very hardworking miko."

Reimu put down the banquet table and said with a beaming expression:

"Especially when I think about the stall fee I collect tonight, which can satisfy my desire to eat meat every day for half a month, I feel full of energy when I think about it."

"By the way, Xiaobai, don't just stand there, help me clean up... Hmm? Where are the people?"

The moment I heard the word help.

Chu Bai immediately ran away and disappeared from Lingmeng's sight.

After running back and forth in the huge shrine, I finally found the relatively quiet backyard.

He then stopped and stretched comfortably.

"It was a close call. I almost got drafted."

"Well, let's just rest here for a while and go over after the festival officially opens."

Thinking of this, Chu Bai picked a suitable open space and prepared to sit down and relax.

But at this moment, a drunken and crisp voice suddenly sounded from behind the pool.

"Oh my... I didn't expect someone to come here too?"

"Young man over there...would you like to come over for a couple of drinks with us?"

Chapter 172 Wenwen riding on his body, and Suixiang’s promise!

The drunken voice set off alarm bells in Chu Bai's heart.

The person who made the sound actually evaded his natural perception?

It was not until Chu Bai concentrated his mind and changed the automatic transmission to manual that he noticed the guy lying behind the pool.

She was a rather petite girl, the twin horns on her head symbolizing her identity as a ghost. Her pretty face was now flushed with drunkenness. When Chu Bai's perception swept over her, she also stood up slightly and waved at Chu Bai.

"Want to join us for a drink, human?"

Chu Bai looked at her steadily, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"Skip the plot."

"……what?"

The ghost girl was a little stunned by this inexplicable conversation.

As a result, Chu Bai said happily:

"You're the so-called hidden NPC, right? The super philanthropist who hides in a corner of the game map, waiting for the right person to come. Anyone who talks to you over a hundred times will receive a powerful artifact?"

"...Aren't you being a little too dramatic?"

Even the heroic ghosts were left speechless by Chu Bai's words:

"Besides, drinking with the ghosts is a good deed in itself. Why would there be any extra rewards?"

“Oh, there’s no reward.”

Chu Baiyouyou sighed:

"Forget it, you should go drink with Fujiwara no Moeko."

"One of you smokes, the other drinks, and then you ask her to perm your hair for free, and then you have the complete set of crosstalk."

"...Even though I don't understand what you're saying, I still have this inexplicable urge to complain."

The ghost girl shook her head, picked up the gourd and took another big gulp:
