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

Kaguya replied quite naturally:

"Wearing it can speed up your comprehension of the Fire Law and the fire element..."

"........."

The sound stopped suddenly.

Kaguya's body suddenly froze in place.

Chu Bai raised the corner of his mouth:

"Sorry, brother, I think I remembered it wrong."

"That gem was given to me by Miss Kaguya, not by you."

Looking at the Moon Princess who was standing there in a daze.

There was a hint of smile in Chu Bai's eyes, and his expression suddenly became extremely wise:

"But brother, how do you know the information about this gem?"

"Or...should I continue to call you Princess of the Moon, or Miss Kaguya of Houraisan?"

Chapter 39 Brother, you smell so good...

As a famous detective in Gensokyo, Chu Bai noticed something was wrong from the very beginning.

The place where he and Kaguya first met was at the doorstep of Marisa's house.

But that place was deep in the magical forest, filled with miasma and spores. Even if an ordinary person got lost, they would never get lost in such a place.

Not to mention her furtive gaze, which was as conspicuous as a spotlight to the sharp-eyed Chu Bai.

So Chu Bai immediately became suspicious.

After this, during the time he spent with Kaguya, he also carried out various clever tests.

As the test deepened, more and more contradictions appeared in her.

For example, Chu Bai never introduced himself, but she accurately said Chu Bai's name.

For example, the time she appeared coincided with the arrival time promised by the Moon Princess.

Another example is her attitude towards Chu Bai, which was as defenseless as that of an old friend. Even when Chu Bai personally helped her wipe her face, she only took a step back and did not get angry.

Combining all kinds of doubts and coincidences, Chu Bai suddenly had a bold idea.

And just now, he finally confirmed the identity of the Moon Princess.

"So, there is only one truth!"

"Your true identity is Miss Kaguya who was shopping with me just now!"

Chu Baixin pointed his finger, and a surge of wind elements came out from his fingertips.

Kaguya on the other side of the screen was immediately shocked all over, as if she had been hit by something and flew backwards, lying on the bed motionless.

Seeing her movements as if she had died on the spot, Chu Bai couldn't help but remind her:

"There's no point in playing dead. I saw it all clearly in the video."

"…………well."

A long sigh was heard.

Kaguya sat back down at the computer desk and slowly took off the huge rabbit mask.

The person who appeared in front of Chu Bai was indeed the Kaguya Houraisan who had gone shopping with him during the day.

"That's quite a fascinating deduction."

"That's right, I am Kaguya. The good brother you always thought of is actually a real woman."

Kaguya's voice was weak:

"I originally wanted to use this identity to tease you, but you actually figured it out directly..."

"Of course I am the most famous detective in Gensokyo!"

Chu Bai proudly showed off his achievements:

"Like the Scarlet Devil Mansion theft case, the Scarlet Devil Mansion theft case, and the Scarlet Devil Mansion theft case... I was the one who figured out all these bizarre and complicated cases!"

"So you've only solved one case! What kind of famous detective are you?"

Kaguya couldn't help but grumble in response.

But after they finished complaining, the atmosphere between them suddenly became a little awkward.

The two of them stared at each other, seemingly not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, Kaguya's heart sank slightly. The situation she least wanted to see happened.

I'm afraid that from now on, Xiaobai will only regard her as a woman, rather than a good brother with whom he can talk about anything.

It's no wonder. After all, their identities have been exposed. It's impossible for them to chat and play like usual, right?

But it's really a pity.

I've finally made some close friends, and I really don't want to give up on them with such regret.

"But let me be frank..."

Just as she was lost in thought, Chu Bai suddenly spoke:

"Brother, you are so beautiful..."

"Eh?"

Kaguya was slightly stunned: "What did you call me just now?"

"Brother."

Chu Bai said as a matter of course: "Didn't we agree to be brothers? Although having such a beautiful brother does make me a little nervous."

Kaguya asked in surprise, "You don't mind my gender? Isn't there already a tragically thick barrier between us?"

"What's the problem?"

Chu Bai shook his head:

"If we each have a partner, we really need to avoid suspicion."

"But we're both single. You once said you didn't plan to get married, and I just can't find any women interested in me."

"So why not continue to be brothers?"

Kaguya: "?"

No women are interested in you?

Do you have any misunderstandings about your own charm?

Seeing Kaguya slightly stunned, Chu Bai continued confidently:

"And the brotherhood between us is stronger than steel and purer than white paper."

"So don't worry about those trivial things, let's just continue to maintain our original good brotherly relationship!"

Looking at the young man's brilliant smile, Kaguya's eyes were slightly dazed.

But she quickly came to her senses, exhaled lightly, and smiled again:

"I see, so that's what you think..."

"It seems I was overthinking it this time. Then let's continue to maintain our original relationship...brother?"

"Yeah, good brother!"

……

……

Kaguya's problem was successfully resolved.

She promised Chu Bai that she would definitely not miss the next preliminary round.

And because of this mistake, she owed Chu Bai a favor, so if she needed any help in the future, she could just ask.

Chu Bai also happily accepted this promise.

Silent all night.

The next day, Chu Bai made all the necessary preparations and arrived at the Scarlet Devil Mansion early.

After all, it's about repairing the source of magic and ensuring that subsequent mutations can be triggered and rewards can be obtained.

He was still very concerned about visiting Patchouli.

"Ok?"

But just as he arrived at the door of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, he saw a red-haired girl blocking the door.

The girl, with a slender figure, was sleeping soundly against the door. Next to her was a sign that read "No Trespassing."

Chu Bai thought for a moment and realized that this girl must be a member of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

So he swaggered around the girl and headed towards the interior of the Scarlet Devil Mansion...

"Hey! Are you just ignoring me like that?"

A complaining voice suddenly came from the side:

"I'm a member of the sect after all. Even if you want to break in, you should at least say hello to me first!"

Chapter 40 Patchouli: I held you in my arms when you were a child

Accompanied by the girl's complaining voice.

Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind in my ears.

Chu Bai dodged the attack with a flick of his head, then looked at the red-haired girl helplessly:

"Miss, you are so rude! You actually attacked someone you just met..."

"You're the one who's really rude!"

The red-haired girl couldn't help but say:

"How about just ignoring the warning signs and walking into someone else's house?"

“Uh, actually I didn’t see…”

"You're lying! You were squatting right in front of me just now. Even someone with a thousand degrees of myopia should be able to see clearly!"

Before I knew it, I started complaining.

The girl took a deep breath and calmed herself down:

"Anyway, my name is Hong Meiling, and I'm a member of the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

"This is a private residence. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please go back."

Chu Bai explained:

"My name is Chu Bai, and I came here to visit the great magician Patchouli."

"Oh, by the way, I've been here before and helped you solve a book theft case."

"Huh? It's you?"

After hearing Chu Bai say this, Hong Meiling finally remembered.

She immediately let down her guard:

"If it's you, sure."

"Hmm? What's okay?"

"Of course you can go in."

Hong Meiling smiled and said, "Sakuya told me before that since you are an important guest of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, you can come here to visit at any time, and even stay here overnight."
