Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Yuyuko sighed helplessly, her appearance of being unable to resist complaining made her seem less like a thousand-year-old ghost and more like a lively teenager.

"Things aren't that simple."

"I know Youmu Konpaku's personality well. Even after a long time, he would never become an old pervert who stalks women."

"There must be a hidden reason, but whenever I approach the Human Village, Youmu subconsciously avoids me from a distance."

"So, as a last resort, I remembered the newly established White Detective Agency."

As she spoke, Yuyuko placed a thick envelope on the table:

"Commission: Investigate the reason why Youmu Konpaku is stalking women."

"Additional request: Don't let Youmu know about this. After all, Youmu is also an old employee, and we should at least maintain his image as a grandfather."

"So, will you accept this commission?"

Chu Bai looked at the thickness of the envelope.

If it were all 10,000-yen bills, this stack would be roughly estimated to be at least 200,000 yen.

He weighed the envelope and said thoughtfully:

"According to normal logic, the reward for this commission is very generous, and my strength is sufficient to meet such a demand."

Yuyuko nodded:

"That's right, so your choice is..."

"But I refuse!"

Chu Bai's expression suddenly deepened, his face seemed to be covered with thick lines, and his voice became deep:

"What I, Chu Bai, like to do most is to say no to self-righteous people."

"Please take this money back, Miss Yuyuko, I will not accept this commission."

Chapter 157: Yakumo Yukari? When did she come?

There are three reasons for refusing.

First of all, Chu Bai is currently juggling two commissions.

During the day, he has to go to the temple school to teach, and at night, he has to work at the Night Sparrow Diner.

Although Yuyuko's commission reward is very rich, and he might even be able to claim the bounty from the Human Village after finding out the truth, which would add up to a total of 500,000 yen.

But Chu Bai has a sense of responsibility. If he takes on another job to investigate Youmu's truth, it is likely that the other two accepted jobs will have problems.

Unless absolutely necessary, he doesn't want to squeeze himself so hard.

The second reason is that this matter is full of doubts.

Perhaps, as Yuyuko said, Youmu's change is indeed puzzling.

But behind this whole thing, there must be Yakumo Yukari's shadow.

Because Yukari, as a powerful person, entered Gensokyo, and the old hag couldn't have been completely unaware.

And as a thousand-year-old best friend, she couldn't have completely avoided communicating with Yuyuko.

But Yuyuko didn't mention Yakumo Yukari at all, which seemed like she was deliberately hiding something.

The water behind it is a bit deep, and Chu Bai is afraid that he won't be able to grasp it, so he simply won't grasp it.

As for the third reason...

He hasn't figured it out yet.

But no matter what the situation, proposing three key points always seems more professional and can better highlight his wisdom.

In short, because of the above reasons, Chu Bai quite decisively rejected Yuyuko's commission.

"I see..."

After listening to Chu Bai's explanation, Yuyuko didn't pester him.

She just took out her folding fan, covered half of her face with Yakumo Yukari's signature gesture, and said leisurely:

"Then forget it. Since you don't want to accept it, I won't force you."

"But I heard that you are having a sales competition with Koishi Komeiji's Underground Geothermal Center?"

Chu Bai gave a thumbs up:

"That's right, and I am very confident."

"Then you are probably overconfident."

Yuyuko said:

"Koishi Komeiji's shop has currently exceeded 3 million in sales, and there is still an upward trend."

"...Huh??"

What the hell?

3 million in sales?

Did she rob the Scarlet Devil Mansion??

Seeing Chu Bai's shocked look, Yuyuko continued:

"Here is a financial report from the Underground Geothermal Center. Would you like to take a look?"

"Yes, yes, of course."

Taking the report.

Chu Bai took a closer look, and saw the following written on it——

[Day 1: The store is deserted, revenue +0]

[Day 2: The store is miserable, revenue +0]

[Day 3: The store is empty, revenue +0]

[Day 4: I accidentally met Yakumo Yukari and received 3 million yen in venue funding, revenue +3,000,000]

"????"

"No, wait a minute?"

Chu Bai's eyes widened.

Yakumo Yukari? When did she come?

How did she suddenly give a 3 million investment like a deus ex machina?

It's like the ending of Detective Conan being that Shinichi Kudo stepped into the world of immortal cultivation and became a Foundation Establishment cultivator! It's so hilarious!

And why is that old hag giving so much sponsorship to the Underground Geothermal Center! Is it because she's too old and afraid that she'll pass out one day, so she's making a will to divide her property in advance?

Then it should be distributed to Yakumo Ran and Chen, what does it have to do with the little loli!

At this moment, countless alpacas seemed to be galloping through Chu Bai's heart.

Fortunately, Yakumo Yukari's gap cannot see inner thoughts, otherwise she would probably shout that I want to use your skull as a bowl, and then jump out and have a serious duel with Chu Bai.

"I'm just an ordinary Yuyuko, I don't know anything."

Noticing Chu Bai's questioning gaze, Yuyuko spread her hands:

"I just vaguely heard that Yakumo Yukari invested in a project at the Underground Geothermal Center, it seems to be preparing for the Summer Festival at the end of the month."

"Accidentally, it seems that she has intervened in your sales competition."

After a pause, she re-extended the invitation:

"Then please allow me to ask again, Mr. Chu Bai, will you accept my commission?"

"...There is no other choice."

Chu Bai sighed helplessly.

If he wants to win the duel, he can only speed up the process of making money and take on more commissions.

Three million, that's a very distant number. Even if all current commissions are completed, it is unknown whether he can gather one million.

But Chu Bai doesn't intend to flee without a fight, and anyway, the process of completing the commission is also the process of him constantly comprehending emotions and becoming stronger.

Thinking this way, Chu Bai still accepted Yuyuko's deposit:

"Then, this is the third commission I have accepted."

"As long as you find out the reason why Youmu Konpaku's personality has changed, right?"

"That's right."

Yuyuko reminded:

"By the way, Youmu's appearance time is usually in the middle of the night."

"Why don't you try staking out in the village tonight after work?"

Chu Bai narrowed his eyes:

"Good fellow, you really don't treat me like a human being."

"Teaching during the day, working at night, and staking out for investigations in the middle of the night, even the donkeys in the production team would probably shed a few tears!"

Yuyuko chuckled:

"It's just a simple investigation."

"And it's just the first time to stake out, it's definitely impossible to find him so easily, right? Even in the game, you have to clear a bunch of mobs before fighting the boss."

...That's true.

...It can't be that as soon as he accepts the commission, Youmu will suddenly face-to-face output.

Thinking this way, Chu Bai put the Fukuzawa Yukichi into his pocket, planning the specific route for staking out at night.

...

...

Then he wanted to cry a little.

Under the moonlight, on the roof beam.

The black robe rustled, and the samurai sword at his waist swayed gently.

The old man with white hair held the hilt of his sword, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, staring straight at Chu Bai staking out below.

There is no need to compare the portrait.

The person in front of him is 100% the gardener of the Hakugyokurou, that is, Youmu Konpaku, whose personality has changed!

And as soon as he discovered Chu Bai, Youmu had already held the hilt of his sword, and the sharp sword energy scattered like it didn't cost money!

At this moment, there was only one thought in Chu Bai's mind.

"Holy shit! Refund!"

Chapter 158: Old man, you have already chosen your path to death!

Chu Bai is actually a little weak now.

It's not fear, but today was really a bit too much.

Especially during the day, he went all out against the little monsters, manually making these guys high. Due to his unfamiliarity with his abilities, it consumed a lot of his energy and magic power.

After class, he went directly to the Night Sparrow Diner to continue working, and was busy until very late, and then rushed to the Human Village to stake out Youmu.

This experience, like "just finished playing poker with my girlfriend and let out a satisfied sigh, just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly received a call from the boss to carry a big package on the 24th floor, and the elevator is broken and there is no air conditioner, and I only get five cents for every floor I climb, and if I don't do it, I'll be fired permanently", almost made Chu Bai drop small pearls on the spot.
