Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Chapter 143: Mystia: Was it you who attracted Yuyuko here? (Crying)

And so, three days passed.

Chu Bai and Xiaowu each made thorough preparations.

Both families simultaneously beat gongs and drums, set off firecrackers, and laid out bright red carpets.

Chu Bai even released a nuclear strike magic into the sky, attempting to attract attention with the exploding giant fireworks.

As a result...

After all these days, neither store had a single customer.

Even the customers on this street were much fewer, the villagers avoiding it as if it were a demon, preferring to take detours rather than pass by.

As for the turnover, it was naturally two bright red zeros.

Including the cost of water and electricity, they even lost some of their savings.

"Sigh..."

Chu Bai sighed helplessly.

"Sigh..."

Xiaowu also sighed helplessly.

Looking at the equally dejected pink-haired girl in front of him, Chu Bai finally realized:

"...So why are you in my living room?"

Komeiji Satori said helplessly:

"Of course, I wanted to ask you for advice and learn from your business methods."

"But it seems you're in just as dire straits as I am."

Chu Bai immediately said arrogantly:

"Hmph, don't underestimate me."

"My turnover has achieved non-negative growth for three consecutive days, maintaining a very stable level overall..."

"Because there's no lower turnover than 0! Don't try to be brave at a time like this!"

Even without mind-reading, Xiaowu could see Chu Bai's miserable situation.

Chu Bai was also quite helpless about this.

To prevent her mother from discovering their relationship, Xiao Ai had moved back home and agreed not to interact intimately for a short time.

Suddenly, the atmosphere here became deserted, even emitting the same desolate and impoverished aura as a certain shrine.

"No, we must make a change!"

"We must not let the new store become as poor as the Hakurei Shrine!"

Chu Bai secretly resolved.

Without seeking change, there is only a dead end.

At the very least, he had to formulate a complete development plan.

Xiaowu's eyes also flickered, as if she had a new plan.

She also got up to say goodbye and returned to her new store, starting to make mysterious arrangements.

......

......

Before taking action.

Chu Bai first took out his notebook and wrote down the current two goals.

[Goal 1: Operate the store and ensure that this month's turnover exceeds the Underground Geyser Center]

This was a challenge letter personally issued by Xiaowu, and winning would allow him to fulfill a wish unconditionally.

Whether it was accumulating capital or accumulating favors for future use, it was all worthwhile.

[Goal 2: Earn enough 10 million funds as a stepping stone to exchange for information about his background]

Although he might not exchange it even if he saved enough, and his master also said that his background information was dangerous information like a "meme contamination," and knowing it might even change his view of the world.

But at least having capital in hand would give him more choices.

"In short, the next step is to make money."

Chu Bai thought to himself:

"As for the specific money-making plan..."

"Although I have expanded a lot of business, in the final analysis, my bad reputation in the village is too heavy."

"So, I should prioritize doing some commissions that can clear my name and improve my image."

Chu Bai took out the previous three flyers.

They were [Night Sparrow Diner Recruitment], [Terakoya Assistant Teacher], and [Wanted Mysterious Stalker].

The first thing he ruled out was the task of capturing the stalker.

Because the stalker was said to be an old man with white hair. He wore two swords at his waist, had swift movements, and there were faint traces of ghosts behind him. Although his actions were suspicious, his strength was undoubtedly powerful.

Even Fujiwara no Mokou herself failed to catch the stalker, but wasted several days of squatting time.

Such a commission was likely to be busy in the end, but it would be empty.

So although the image described in the commission was somewhat familiar, and even had a sense of deja vu, Chu Bai still planned to put it aside and deal with it later.

"As for the Terakoya Assistant Teacher..."

"Although this is also my old profession, it is marked above as a special class assistant teacher, which is to get along with a group of fairies and monster children."

"Going to teach these guys will probably make my reputation worse, and it always feels like it will be very troublesome..."

Chu Bai thought with a sweat:

"It seems that only the Night Sparrow Diner's helper is more in line with the current needs."

"Well, let's go there and see first."

After making a decision.

Chu Bai left a contact note on the door, in case a customer really came to the door and missed the business.

Then, he walked towards the Youkai Beast Road.

......

......

Night Sparrow Diner.

Although it is called a diner, it is actually just a small late-night snack stall.

The business location is on the Youkai Beast Road, located in the middle of the Human Village and the Hakurei Shrine.

Because it is cheap and good, and the proprietress Mystia's cooking is very good, the Night Sparrow Diner is also quite famous.

According to the address on the commission form, Chu Bai came to Mystia's cottage located on the Beast Road.

After knocking on the door, the sleepy little night sparrow quickly opened the door in her pajamas, dimly:

"Who is it, is it Kyouko? You're here really early today."

"It's not Kyouko, it's the omnipotent detective Chu Bai."

Chu Bai greeted with a smile, and also took out a small gift box by the way:

"Nice to see you again, proprietress, I'll send you a gift to wish you prosperity."

"Eh? Ah, it's Mr. Chu Bai."

Mystia raised her eyes and immediately showed a friendly smile when she saw that it was Chu Bai.

Chu Bai had been to her stall late at night for supper.

At that time, he also met Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu, and the unlucky Sasha who was being lectured.

Because Chu Bai told a very long story at that time, and also made the Yama owe him a favor, Mystia's impression of him was also quite deep.

At this time, seeing Chu Bai visiting, she immediately said friendly:

"It's been a long time, Mr. Chu Bai, thank you for taking the trouble to prepare a gift..."

Saying that, the little night sparrow opened the gift box.

As a result, there was actually a replica doll of Saigyouji Yuyuko.

The big pink eyes were staring straight at the little night sparrow, as if flashing with some kind of desire.

Mystia was almost scared to pee, and her somewhat confused head woke up all of a sudden:

"Mr. Chu Bai! Are you deliberately playing a prank?"

"Eh? What prank?"

Chu Bai tilted his head:

"I just saw Youmu selling such dolls on the way here, it seems to be subsidizing the family."

"In order to let me help promote it, she also gave me several dolls."

Saying that, he took out several more Yuyuko fumo with different expressions and placed them directly next to Mystia:

"How is it, proprietress, does it look good? If you want it, I can give it to you?"

"I don't want such terrible things!"

Being stared at by so many Yuyukos at the same time, the little night sparrow was almost crying:

"Take these back quickly! Otherwise, I will close the door to thank guests!"

Chapter 144: Mystia's legs are weak, Chu Bai is about to show his skills!

I don't know why Mystia is so afraid of Yuyuko.

In fact, in theory, his psychological shadow should be deeper.

Chu Bai took back the Yuyuko doll and sat in the little night sparrow's house drinking tea.

And Mystia learned of Chu Bai's intention:

"That is to say, you are here to complete the commission, right?"

"Sodayo."

Chu Bai raised his thumb:

"How about it, do you want to hire me as a helper? I can do a lot of things?"

Mystia hesitated:

"Of course, I am relieved of your ability."

"It's just that a strong person like you actually condescends to work under me... won't this damage your reputation?"

Chu Bai spread his hands helplessly:

"On the contrary, this is exactly the effect I want to achieve."

He told her that his recent fierce reputation had led to no customers at all after the detective agency opened.

Mystia nodded in realization.

Seeing him a little frustrated, the little night sparrow quickly comforted him:
