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

"But you're thinking of dating two religious masters at the same time?"

"Although this isn't the right thing for me to say, you're already taken, right? Even if you want to start a harem, at least tell Alice."

I'm not going to start a harem.

Chu Bai was about to explain when he saw Gu Mingdijue's expression change:

"Huh? In order to establish a bond and strengthen your ability to rule, is that why you want to make such a request?"

"As for the reason for wanting to become stronger quickly...is it because Gensokyo is about to face a massive disaster, and your laws are the key to resolving it?"

"I see. I was saying you didn't seem like the type of jerk who'd have multiple affairs at the same time."

"If that's the reason, then it's quite normal."

Chu Bai stared at Little Five Lolita in shame:

"Your ability is really too convenient. I haven't even said a word yet, but you already understand the whole process."

"Well, there are pros and cons."

Gu Ming Di Jue sighed, then said seriously:

"Since you have such a reason, I think you will accept the task I originally intended to entrust you with."

Have a new commission?

Chu Bai suddenly became energetic:

"Xisuo."

Komeijikaku took out a flyer and pointed to the title on it:

"Summer is drawing to a close, and the harvest festival, marking the arrival of autumn, is about to begin."

"As per tradition, a movie will be shown at the Harvest Festival."

"So, I'd like to entrust you...as a member of the Earth Spirit Hall, to help us film a film with an autumn or harvest theme. Furthermore, we need to pass a selection process and ultimately have the film successfully screened at the Harvest Festival."

Chapter 266: Dating Two Masters at the Same Time? The Genius Director of the Earth Spirit Hall!

Harvest Festival, this is a festival held in late summer and early autumn.

Just like the original summer night festival, it is mainly used to announce the arrival of autumn, and it also serves the purpose of offering sacrifices to the gods and praying for a good harvest.

But Chu Bai really couldn’t figure out what the relationship was between the Harvest Festival and the movie.

Gu Mingji Jue said from the side:

"As the saying goes, autumn is the season for watching movies..."

"There's no such saying at all!"

"Yes, this is what a lady named Gu Ming Di Jue said..."

"So you made this up yourself!"

"Well, this is Gensokyo after all. We can't be bound by common sense."

Little Five Loli continued:

“Before the festival, there will be a special judge who will be responsible for screening the films.”

“If you make it into the top three, you’ll be able to play it at the end of the festival.”

"For the Earth Spirit Hall, this is a great opportunity to become famous and improve everyone's impression."

"So I would like to ask you, who are so versatile, to help me and serve as the director of our Earth Spirit Hall."

Chu Bai suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

It seems that it is true that he is multi-talented.

Because since coming to Gensokyo, he seems to have participated in many competitions.

But he had no confidence in being a film director, a job that sounded very professional, and he had no relevant experience at all.

Sensing his mental activity, Little Five Loli said comfortingly:

"It's okay. If that doesn't work, you can always learn from other works."

"Then I'll try."

Just do it.

It was at this banquet that Chu Bai came up with the initial script:

"The hero was once a piano prodigy, but due to a psychological disorder, he became unable to play the piano. So, through the introduction of his childhood sweetheart, he met the heroine, who was also a piano player, and the two began a wonderful ensemble. However, the hero soon learned that the heroine was seriously ill and needed a surgery with a very low success rate..."

"Wait a minute, your plagiarism is a bit blatant!"

Xiao Wu quickly reached out to interrupt:

"I'm asking you to learn from it, not to copy it directly!"

"Also, the theme of the film must be autumn or harvest. Are these two elements present in the entire script?"

Chu Bai gave a thumbs up:

"Yes, brother. Yes."

"Because the name of the movie is 'Your Lie in October', and October is autumn..."

"You even copied the question! Rejected!"

"Tsk..."

Chu Bai smacked his lips and suddenly had a new idea:

"Hey, I have another idea."

"This time, the male protagonist is a factory chef who lives in a Chinese-style courtyard house. His neighbors include a widow who is also a factory worker, and his sworn enemy, the projectionist."

"Life for these three people has its ups and downs, but the days keep moving forward. Until the autumn of that year, the farmland had a bumper harvest. To meet the quota given by the factory, the three of them joined forces and found ways to improve the efficiency of harvesting the wheat fields..."

Gu Mingdijue nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

This time it's a good idea.

If it were made into a movie, it would definitely have a Chinese-style lifestyle.

Then I heard Chu Bai's voice change:

"But the hero accidentally crashes his plane while harvesting wheat, forgetting his parachute. At the critical moment, the magic wand appears, and he transforms into a giant of light, and engages in a fierce battle with Godzilla, who emerges from the wheat field. A projectionist from the steel mill, who is traveling with him, bites his finger to transform into a giant, and works even harder to harvest the wheat."

"So the name of this drama is 'Harvest Giant: Ultraman vs. Siheyuan'..."

"Wait a moment! Isn't the style change a bit too much later on?"

Gu Mingdi felt numb:

"There are so many things to complain about that I don't even know where to start!"

Chu Bai chuckled:

"Isn't that right? The audience must have a lot of complaints, so wouldn't that spark discussion about the movie?"

"But this isn't the kind of discussion I want! After all, the purpose of making a movie is to change public opinion. But after this movie comes out, I'm afraid the Earth Spirit Hall's rating will plummet, just like our location!"

He made a long series of complaints.

The frail Little Five Lolita panted slightly:

"Anyway, make me a serious movie, don't sew so many weird things!"

"Eh...okay..."

I saw Chu Bai looked a little disappointed.

Xiao Wu Loli finally stopped complaining and proposed the expected reward:

"Well, although the requirements are high, the reward I have prepared is also very generous."

"I will provide 20 million in filming funds, and leave it all to you, the director, to arrange."

"And once the filming is finally completed, I guarantee you will receive at least 200,000 yen as salary."

"If your film is selected and screened at the Harvest Festival, you'll receive an additional 1 million yen as compensation. And the better the film, the bigger the bonus."

There's a reward for that?

Speaking of this, Chu Bai suddenly became excited:

"Does that mean I can get at least 21 million in compensation?"

"...You've already admitted to embezzling funds."

Gu Mingdijue opened his eyes:

"My mind-reading skills are not for show. If I embezzle funds, I will pay it back tenfold."

"Hey, how could that be? It was just a joke."

Chu Bai laughed dryly twice.

Although he had saved a lot of money in the past, he has been spending money on his recent travels.

Especially during the previous Black Cult invasion, he had to take care of everything, which cost a lot of money.

If I take on this commission, I can not only establish connections with more people, but also enrich my own wallet. It will not be a loss no matter how I think about it.

So in the end he chose to accept the commission and became the temporary director of the Earth Spirit Temple.

……

……

Now that I have become a director, I will definitely have to live with Xiaowu for a while.

It just so happened that his journey had not yet ended, so the next destination was naturally the Earth Spirit Temple.

But before that...

Looking at the lively banquet scene with many familiar people gathered together, it was a great opportunity to win over actors.

So Chu Bai took the lead in finding Sheng Bailian and Feng Conger Shenzi:

"So so, so so..."

The Son of God suddenly realized:

"So, you want to invite both of us to be actors?"

Chu Bai nodded:

"Yes, you want to come?"

The Son of God shook his head:

"I'm sorry, but the temple also wants to participate in the Harvest Festival film selection to gain more publicity."

"So we have to shoot our own movies as well, so I'm afraid we won't have time for that."

Saint Bailian added:

"The same goes for Myourenji. But if you think about it, it seems we still owe you one of your requests."

"If Chu Baijun uses that requested number of times, we can give up filming and go over to help you, okay?"

Chu Bai immediately waved his hand.

Then, as if accidentally letting the cat out of the bag, he blurted out subconsciously:

"Forget it then. I'd like to use these precious requests to live with you guys."

As a result, the two girls were shocked:

"Huh? Living together? And with just the two of us?"

Chapter 267: Reimu got into the wrong bed. It’s not a good sleep, my friend!

"Oh, I accidentally let it slip."

Chu Bai quickly covered his mouth and pretended to have spoken out of turn.
