Moreover, judging by the time, the people he had arranged to meet were about to arrive.

So, he immediately stepped aside:

"Then, farewell, young lady. I'm truly sorry for bumping into you."

"It's alright."

The black-haired girl nodded again.

Then, like a stranger, she brushed past him and silently left the scene.

...

...

Calming his inexplicably agitated mood,

Chu Bai continued forward and eventually returned to his home.

Inside this small house, several young girls were currently sitting.

"You're so slow, Xiao Bai. We've been waiting for you for ages."

One of them said as she saw Chu Bai enter.

Chu Bai explained:

"I ran into some trouble on the way, which caused a slight delay."

"Let's get straight to the point, everyone. Is everything prepared?"

The girls all nodded.

Chu Bai was finally completely relieved, and a smile slowly appeared on his handsome face:

"Very good, thank you all for your hard work."

"Then, let the entire Gensokyo enjoy our carefully prepared... grand performance..."

Chapter 100: The Red-White Shrine Maiden's Wild Charge (Part 1)

Deep in the mountains of the Eastern Country.

A wondrous place called Gensokyo.

It was now the height of spring, and Gensokyo was filled with the breath of the season.

In the village called the Human Village, the villagers were busily engaged in spring plowing.

Peaceful lives and stable work were the daily routines that the human villagers were long accustomed to.

However, recently, a batch of strange leaflets suddenly appeared in the village...

"Practice magic!"

"As long as you practice magic, you can even defeat youkai!"

"Humans must strive for status with their own hands!"

The leaflets were printed with such explanations.

Each leaflet also contained mysterious incantations.

At first, no one paid attention to these voices.

But when someone, with a tentative mindset, actually released a fireball according to the incantation in the leaflet,

The number of villagers interested in magic quickly increased.

--Ordinary people can also release magic.

--Ordinary people can also defeat youkai.

--Even the weak status of humans in Gensokyo can be changed.

More and more people harbored such thoughts.

They collected the mysterious leaflets everywhere, memorized the incantations on them, and released various spells.

Gradually, even some weak youkai were no match for them.

After defeating the youkai and tasting the sweetness of success, the villagers' thirst for magic became increasingly strong, and they fell into an almost fanatical pursuit.

The fields were gradually left uncultivated.

Shops and stores closed one after another.

Leaflets recording magic spells, villagers craving magic, and a trend of pursuing magic.

The atmosphere of the Human Village, and even the entire Gensokyo, was quietly changing...

...

...

Hakurei Shrine.

The shrine maiden of paradise, Hakurei Reimu, was now lazily lying on the tatami mat.

She reached out and touched the oranges on the table, only to find the bowl already empty.

Immediately, she let out a regretful sound:

"Eh, are there no more fruits?"

"Never mind, I'll just go to sleep first. I'll leave the troublesome things for tomorrow's me to solve..."

Saying that, she turned over, ready to immerse herself in a dream of enjoying a delicious meal.

As a result, a blue-and-white girl suddenly flew in, grabbed her shoulders, and began to shake her:

"Reimu, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!"

"Waaaah... stop shaking, stop shaking..."

Reimu was shaken dizzy, and her eyes turned into swirling circles.

The person who came was naturally Kochiya Sanae from the Moriya Shrine.

At this time, her face was full of anxiety:

"I don't know why, but the people in the village have suddenly stopped believing in the gods and become interested in magic!"

"The faith conveyed by everyone has decreased significantly. If this continues, Lady Suwako will disappear completely!"

Reimu said sleepily:

"Is that so? Then I'm really sorry. I'll offer her two more incense sticks next year..."

"Now is not the time for jokes!"

Sanae shook Reimu's shoulders:

"This is an incident, Reimu!"

Hearing the word 'incident', Reimu immediately felt a sense of trouble.

She immediately found an excuse to retort:

"It's just that they don't believe in your god. What kind of incident is that?"

"Okay, hurry up and leave. I need to sleep to save my energy. Good night..."

Saying that, she prepared to fall asleep again.

Sanae hurriedly shook her awake again:

"Be serious, Reimu. This time, it's really bad."

"In addition to the crisis of faith, even the villagers have gradually stopped working."

"They are pursuing leaflets sent from who knows where, chanting the magic spells recorded on them, saying they want to fight to change the weak status of humans."

Reimu laughed softly:

"They think they're magicians just because they can recite a few spells?"

"Releasing magic is not such a simple thing..."

"But they really succeeded!"

Sanae continued:

"As long as they follow the spells recorded on the leaflets, even ordinary people can release magic."

"The villagers are eagerly seeking more spells and more powerful magic, wandering around in search of new leaflets."

"Now they have even invaded the youkai beast paths, and even weak youkai are no match for them!"

"...What did you say?"

This time, Reimu finally became vigilant.

The greatest foundation of Gensokyo is nothing more than the word 'balance'.

And the most critical element in the balance system is the villagers of the Human Village.

But now, even ordinary humans can use magic and have even advanced to the youkai beast paths.

If this is left unchecked, the balance of the barrier will probably be completely broken!

"That's really worth investigating."

Reimu finally mustered her spirits and prepared to set off with Sanae to find the reason why "ordinary people can release magic".

Of course, before that, they definitely couldn't investigate aimlessly like headless flies.

"In any case, let's go find Chu Bai first."

After thinking for a short while, Reimu had an idea:

"That guy is a master in the field of magic and happens to live in the Human Village."

"If we go to him, we might be able to find out some information."

"If not, we can also pull him in to help. After all, he has recently recovered his strength and is quite fierce in fights."

Mentioning Chu Bai, scenes of earlier moments immediately appeared in Sanae's mind.

She subconsciously tightened her legs, as if her body was about to become strange again.

"O-okay..."

"?"

Reimu tilted her head in confusion:

"Why is your face suddenly red?"

"It's nothing, nothing..."

Sanae hurriedly shook her head:

"Anyway, we're going to find Mr. Chu Bai, right? Let's set off quickly then."

Saying that, she took the lead and flew up.

Reimu followed closely behind, and the two flew out of the room together.

...

...

However, they were stopped as soon as they took off.

In the distant sky, a black and white figure suddenly descended.

"Here I am~☆"

Marisa carried her broom, smiling and blocking the two.
