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

"Of course, in addition to these, there are some specific requirements. For example, you cannot actually damage too much property, you cannot cause large-scale massacres, you cannot shake the earth veins, you cannot destroy large areas of the village, etc..."

Like a nun chanting sutras, Yakumo Yukari made many requests one after another.

Chu Bai's passion immediately cooled down:

"...You're asking too much. I don't have the time to create such a troublesome mutation for you."

Yakumo Yukari chuckled:

"I didn't ask you to cause a mutation immediately. I just made a deal with you in advance."

"Besides, with your current strength, while it won't be easy for Reimu to win, it won't be enough to put her under pressure either."

"So you can focus on your own affairs first. Once your strength has recovered to a certain level and you've gathered enough helpers, you can consider matters related to the mutation."

Chu Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since there was no time limit, he should prioritize preparing for the upcoming House Fighting Club preliminaries.

But speaking of my own strength...

When he was in the outside world, he released powerful forbidden magic one after another, and finally even sacrificed the source of magic, using a ferocious move comparable to self-destruction.

The source of magic is damaged, which is equivalent to a broken heart for ordinary people. It is a miracle to survive, and it is extremely difficult to recover and repair it.

"If you really don't know how to regain your strength, why not go to the library and talk to Patchouli?"

Yakumo Yukari gives advice:

"After all, that Mu-Q is a wizard who has lived for hundreds of years and is considered a true master in the field of magic. You should have plenty to talk about, right?"

"Pachuli..."

Chu Bai remembered this person.

The last time he went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to solve the book theft case, he saw Patchouli sleeping soundly, but he did not wake her up at the advice of the little devil.

The book theft itself was a huge misunderstanding. The ultimate cause was that Patchy used the book as a pillow.

Thinking of this, Chu Bai nodded slightly:

"Then after I finish the preliminaries for the House Fighting Club, I'll go to the Great Library to visit the Great Magician."

"...You really care about the house fight."

Yakumo Yukari said helplessly, "Do you really want to get that 500,000 yen bonus?"

"Of course."

Chu Bai gave a thumbs-up. "I'm going to settle down in Gensokyo. I can't live in this little nest of less than ten square meters forever, right? So I have to save this money to buy a house and land!"

"Then do your best. Just don't forget the commission regarding the anomaly."

Yakumo Yukari opened the gap and just as she walked in, she suddenly turned around, put her finger to her lips and said playfully:

"By the way, please keep the matter of the anomaly confidential. Don't reveal my identity as the client~"

"I know, I know."

Chu Bai waved his hand:

"She's already this old, yet she's still trying to act cute like a little girl, not even afraid of hurting her back..."

Yakumo Yukari immediately kicked Chu Bai and pinned him under her body and started fighting.

After another round of commotion, she snorted and returned to the gap, leaving Chu Bai with a bruised face and nose clenched his fists.

"This old woman... cough cough, her grip is really strong..."

"Never mind. I'll let you go for the sake of the reward... I'll just get on with preparing for my match..."

Wiped the blood from his nose.

Chu Bai stumbled to turn on the computer and plunged back into the intense game.

……

……

With the arrival of spring, the atmosphere in Gensokyo becomes lively again.

Under Crow Tengu's propaganda, the news of a large-scale competition called "Gensokyo's No. 1 House Fighting Competition" quickly spread to all places.

The preliminaries for the house fighting competition will be held in three days.

There are no special restrictions for the competition. The only requirement is that participants must form their own teams of two and compete in the form of teams.

This is a new rule added this year, and I don’t know what the organizers are thinking.

But no matter what, facing this first major event since the beginning of spring, various forces have more or less made moves...

……

Meiling Temple.

The woman with purple-gold hair took off her motorcycle helmet and transformed herself from a wild racer into an abbess as holy as a white lotus.

However, when she arrived at the front yard and heard the believers discussing the house fight enthusiastically, her eyes lit up with interest.

……

Mengdian Grand Temple.

A Taoist immortal in green robes was lying on the couch, holding a flyer for the House Fighting Club in his hand.

An evil smile appeared on her face, which was totally inconsistent with the traditional temperament of an immortal.

……

There is a top.

The blue-haired bad boy was chewing a peach and looking at Gensokyo below with boredom.

Suddenly she seemed to have discovered something, and her eyes sparkled like a child who had found a new toy.

……

Moriya Shrine.

The green-haired Fengzhu girl ran all the way and raised the newspaper in her hand towards the two gods who were drinking.

……

Shining Needle City.

The little man with a bowl on his head took a needle and poked the upside-down girl who was reading a newspaper.

……

Old hell.

The ghost with horns on his head paused for a moment as he listened to the rumors and drank heartily.

……

In the sunflower field, the kind-looking green-haired village girl is still watering the flowers.

……

Inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the majestic eldest lady secretly scratched her little butt.

……

In Gensokyo, the storm is brewing.

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the human world, paying attention to the first grand event since the beginning of spring.

And in this highly anticipated wait, three days passed by in a flash.

The preliminaries of the House Fighting Conference finally officially opened today!

Chapter 31 Opening Lightning Strike! Unexpected Situation!

"...So this is the site of the House Fighting Club preliminaries?"

Chu Bai stood in the waiting area of the square, looking around with empty eyes.

It looks quite desolate here, with basically no one waiting here.

Even the number of staff coming and going was greater than the number of contestants queuing up to participate.

Taking the scene in, Chu Bai looked at Reimu Bun beside him with suspicion:

"Wenwen, where's the attention you promised? It feels like this place is almost as deserted as the Hakurei Shrine!"

Reimu Maru gave two dry laughs:

"Well, actually, I just got the news today. Originally, many forces were planning to participate, but unfortunately, they all encountered various accidents."

"Myourenji and Shinreimyo both wanted to participate, but it seems they got into an argument at the village entrance, which then devolved into a barrage battle... In the end, they were both kicked out and disqualified."

"The Emperor with the highest rank had already reached Gensokyo, but was captured and taken back."

"The ghosts in Old Hell were holding an otter festival competition. They were all drunk and completely forgot about the competition."

"The Amagi from Brilliant Needle Castle is notorious and is forbidden from entering the village... although she seems even happier about it..."

"There are other forces that have various reasons, which is why it has become like this..."

Looking at the slightly deserted scene around.

Reimu Maru hastily added:

"Of course, it's also because Mr. Chu Bai arrived too early. After a while, the stadium will surely become bustling."

"I hope so."

Chu Bai smoothed his hair and said coolly:

"After all, if there are too few opponents, then winning is meaningless."

"...Uh uh, as long as you are happy."

Wenwen took a close-up of Chu Bai and then went to other places to continue collecting materials.

As for Chu Bai, he began to wait for the arrival of his online friend, the Moon Princess.

Since today is the qualifying round, they must meet offline.

I don't know what that guy looks like or what his personality is like. After all, she always wears a bunny headgear, which means she is very protective of her privacy.

……

……

"Xiaobai, hello~"

An energetic voice came from behind.

Chu Bai knew it was Marisa who came without looking back.

But to his surprise, Alice also came and sat in the contestant's seat.

He was immediately surprised and said, "Huh? Xiao Ai is coming to the competition too?"

"Right."

Alice's eyes held a hint of resentment. "Looks like we're rivals this time. I won't show any mercy."

Chu Bai suddenly laughed dryly twice.

Only then did he realize that Alice had already hinted that she would participate in the competition and was prepared to be invited by Chu Bai.

But in the end, he chose to invite Reimu directly and abandoned Xiao Ai.

Thinking of this, he quickly moved closer to Alice.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Ai. I didn't understand your hint last time. I will definitely take the initiative next time."

"It's okay, it's okay. I just mentioned it casually, and I was actually wrong in some ways."

Seeing Chu Bai's sincere apology, Xiao Ai responded immediately:

"After all, it can't always be the man who takes the initiative. The woman should take the initiative occasionally too."

"Okay, then let's take turns. Next time, you take the initiative?"
