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

After returning home, Chu Bai told Sanae about the situation with the stick.

Sanae also showed a helpless expression.

No matter what, the scope of this lottery is too large, and it is impossible to make precise preparations.

"But I absolutely cannot give up!"

Sanae clenched her fists to encourage herself:

"For the faith of the two adults, and for the revival of Moriya Shrine!"

"I have to win the championship and debut as the best idol in the competition!"

"Ooooh, it's on fire!"

Chu Bai echoed her encouragement and covered his waist at the same time.

To be honest, it seems that the issue of faith is the least of our worries at the moment.

Even if he loses the game, Suwako can still extract something from him that is more efficient than faith...

then.

As Sanae was looking forward to it, the next day arrived quickly.

The exciting and unknown idol competition has officially begun.

Chapter 223: Idol Competition? Kakegurui!

I don’t know why, but I dreamed of Suwako coming to steal food from me again last night.

And when I woke up in the morning, I didn't feel very rested.

As a result, there was a delay before Chu Bai and Sanae finally arrived at the scene. They were also the last two players to arrive.

"Hello everyone, I'm the host ■■■."

Seeing Chu Bai and Sanae taking their positions.

The host, whose name was unknown, immediately got to the point and read out the opening remarks.

"Today's weather is sunny, with a high of 32°C and a low of 26°C. Wind speed is level 1, and the air quality is excellent..."

"...Why did we suddenly switch to the weather forecast next door?"

Chu Bai couldn't help but remind him:

"This is an idol competition, not the morning news, right?"

"Oh sorry, I got the wrong line."

The host coughed twice and said again:

"On this sunny day with blue sky and white clouds, on behalf of the program team, I welcome you all."

"Although the on-site environment is somewhat unsatisfactory, the reason for this arrangement is because we want to implement the concept of environmental protection..."

There are too many grammatical errors!

It can be used as a question on incorrect sentences in the college entrance examination!

The former Chinese teacher Chu Bai's eyes turned black and he couldn't help but take out the ruler to teach the child a lesson.

Sanae still held his legs tightly, constantly reminding him that he was not a student and should not be offended easily.

The host, unaware of the danger, continued:

"The so-called environmental protection concept is to use the most money to do the least, and then let Team Leader Smith take more and ask for more. You don't need to read the brackets...ah..."

“I’ve already read it out!”

Chu Bai complained loudly:

"And apologize to the real environmentalists!"

The host swallowed and wanted to continue.

Suddenly, a voice from backstage came from the speakers:

"Idiot, move on to the next step quickly and don't embarrass the production team anymore!"

Is it a hands-free speaker?

We heard it clearly!

The constant complaints made Chu Baiton feel tired.

He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and told himself that he couldn't continue complaining, otherwise he would become a complainer and his character would be ruined.

After a while of confusion, the host finally wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"Ahem, a little episode..."

"Anyway, back to the point, the idol competition is divided into four stages: auditions, preliminary rounds, semi-finals, and finals."

"We have completed the audition qualifications. Those who can stand here are the elites who have passed the audition. Congratulations to everyone here."

...It's just paying money.

5 yuan per person, a simple and crude screening method.

Chu Bai touched his wallet with some heartache.

In order to cooperate with Sanae, he also signed up personally, with the goal of helping her eliminate all opponents and help her become the champion.

Of course, as a reward, Sanae will give the entire 50 yen grand prize to the final winner.

This is also the reason why Chu Bai cares so much about it.

But when it comes to the 50 grand prize, it always feels like a certain plot has been forgotten...

"Well, without further ado, let's begin the preliminary round!"

The host said as he reached into the lottery box.

After searching back and forth for a long time, he pulled out a piece of paper:

"To become an idol, you need to have a wide range of talents and a little bit of luck."

"And the selection method for this preliminary round is—gambling!"

"????"

For a while, the field was full of question marks.

Some people couldn't help but shout out:

"Whose idol audition is won by gambling?"

"Exactly, it's better to see who can pee farther!"

"Uh, I think there's something wrong with you..."

"Please be quiet!"

The host patted the microphone:

"The items drawn are completely random. If your strengths aren't picked, it just means your luck is a little off."

"And luck is also an essential element to being an excellent idol..."

"Don't be so serious when you talk about such abstract things!"

"Complaints are useless, the game begins!"

The host clapped his hands, and immediately dozens of gambling tables were raised.

Each of the more than 10 contestants present was also given chips.

"The condition for advancing to the semi-finals is to win these 10 chips to 40."

"And the way to win chips is complete freedom."

"24 o'clock, fried golden flowers, Landlord, guess the size..."

"Either way, as long as you win 40 chips, you'll advance."

"On the contrary, once the chips are cleared, they will be eliminated directly."

The rules are quite simple.

Most people also understood it instantly.

The host looked around and finally said:

"The time is before 12 noon. Players who fail to win 40 chips by the deadline will be eliminated."

"Then I declare that the Gambler's Contest... oh no, the Idol Contest has officially begun!"

You must have let it slip yourself!

Chu Bai twitched the corners of his mouth and immediately reunited with Sanae.

His goal is to make Sanae the champion, so of course he can just give the chips in his hand to Sanae for free.

But if he fails in the first round, then his role will be too small.

Therefore, it is better to try to make sure both of them win the bet and advance together.

"But in this case, our disadvantage is obvious."

Sanae looked around worriedly.

"Because we are so famous, everyone knows that we possess extraordinary power."

"So the players won't gamble with us at all, but will only gamble with other ordinary players."

Chu Bai nodded in agreement.

Of course, there are also people on the field who can bet with them.

But those people...

"Kumei Jikaku, Remilia, Izayoi Sakuya, Hakurei Reimu, Kawajo Hetori, Morichika Rinnosuke..."

Sanae sighed.

“Although these guys are willing to gamble, the problem is that these guys themselves have special skills.”

"Kumei Kaku can read minds, Remi can change fate, Sakuya can stop time and read cards, and Kappa has X-ray glasses... Betting with these guys is completely asking for trouble."

"...It seems that's the only way."

Chu Bai's painting style suddenly changed, and the muscle lines on his face became rough.

"Ah, yes..."

A shadow fell over Sanae's face, and she flicked her finger.

"I had no choice but to beat up all those ordinary people and forcibly take the chips away from them."

Nearby players: “???”

Before they could react.

Chu Bai and Sanae rushed forward tacitly and beat them inhumanely.

Bang bang bang!

Puff puff!

咣 咣 咣!

After being beaten and kicked, these people screamed in pain.

"Oh my god, ahhhhhhhh!"

"Stop fighting, stop fighting! I'll just give you all the chips!"

The host was stunned watching from the side.

He quickly called Reimu who was not far away:

"Ms. Reimu, there's a disturbance going on over there, aren't you going to take care of it?"
