Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Chu Bai noticed the problem:

"With such a huge bonus right in front of you, you're not even tempted? That's not like you at all."

"...Of course not. After all, I am a dignified and composed shrine maiden."

Reimu snorted, speaking arrogantly:

"It's not like I'm particularly greedy, and I value my principles a lot!"

Chu Bai stared blankly at Reimu.

There were so many things wrong with that statement that he didn't even know how to respond.

Reimu, annoyed, poked him:

"Instead of worrying about me, shouldn't you be trying to cram some otaku knowledge?"

"If you're only half-baked, you won't be able to win the prize money."

Chu Bai smiled confidently:

"About that, I happen to know a super otaku who can definitely help."

"Oh right, it's almost lunchtime, so I can freeload a meal at his place..."

"No time to lose, I'm off, Reimu! See you later!"

As soon as he said it, Chu Bai dashed out.

Reimu waved slightly, watching his departing figure.

After making sure no one could see her expression.

The girl lowered her head, a hint of envy in her eyes.

"How nice..."

"It's just a shame I'm destined not to participate in the competition..."

Accompanied by a barely audible sigh.

The girl's slightly lonely figure slowly headed towards the shrine.

Chapter 15: Lunar Princess: Experience +3

"...So, what are you here for?"

Outside the Magic Forest.

Inside the sparsely visited Kourindou.

Rinnosuke looked at Chu Bai's smiling face with suspicion:

"You wouldn't be here just to freeload a meal, would you?"

"Hehe, what are you saying? Do I look like someone who lacks principles?"

Chu Bai said with a smile:

"Besides, I brought a valuable gift. Aren't you going to open the door and let me in?"

"...I feel like I'm letting a wolf into my house."

Seeing Chu Bai's sincere face.

Rinnosuke hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

They had met a week ago at the scene of the Scarlet Devil Mansion's library theft.

Although they were enemies at the time and had gone through intense reasoning and debate.

Having a male friend is quite precious in Gensokyo, where the male-to-female ratio is severely skewed.

Plus, Chu Bai had a strangely endearing aura.

So after the incident, Rinnosuke took the initiative to extend an olive branch.

Chu Bai happily accepted, and they became friends.

"Wow, what a coincidence, you're actually eating lunch."

Chu Bai went straight to the kitchen, skillfully grabbed a bowl and chopsticks:

"Since I'm already here, why don't we just eat together? Great, great, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Rinnosuke: "???"

"Are you talking to yourself? I haven't said a word yet!"

The bespectacled man complained loudly, but luckily Chu Bai didn't come empty-handed.

Thinking this, he directly unwrapped Chu Bai's gift.

Inside were just two bottles of plain water, and even the "Price: 10 yen" label hadn't been removed.

Rinnosuke's eyes went dark on the spot.

Seeing Chu Bai already devouring the food, his blood pressure rose even higher.

What a terrible friend!

What a terribly awful friend!

I really shouldn't have opened the door for him at lunchtime!

"Don't just stand there, come and eat some too."

Chu Bai called out to the dazed Rinnosuke: "Don't be shy, make yourself at home..."

"This is my home to begin with!"

Rinnosuke sighed and picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat as well.

Chu Bai was quite considerate. Although he was freeloading, he didn't eat too much of the valuable meat dishes.

Besides, Rinnosuke had also visited Chu Bai's house before and had been warmly received by Chu Bai at the time.

So after complaining in a low voice, Rinnosuke acquiesced to Chu Bai's behavior.

Of course, if it were some other rude person, he would have chased them out with a broom.

"So, what's the matter this time?"

Rinnosuke asked as he ate:

"You can't be here just to freeload a meal, can you? You shouldn't be that poor yet, right?"

Japan doesn't have the custom of not talking while eating or sleeping, so Chu Bai naturally chatted with him:

"I'm just asking for a small favor."

"The Gensokyo Number One Otaku Contest is about to be held, and I want to participate, but I'm struggling due to my lack of otaku experience."

"So I came to ask Teacher Rinnosuke if you can help me cram some relevant knowledge?"

Rinnosuke is a standard otaku.

His favorite thing is to promote ACG culture and drag newcomers into the anime and manga fandom.

Therefore, after hearing Chu Bai's request, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately slammed the table:

"Heh, Chu Bai, you've finally made a correct choice!"

"You want to enter the anime and manga fandom? You want to become a popular otaku like me? Then you've come to the right person!"

"I swear on Marisa's principles that I can definitely train you into a self-sufficient otaku and let you shine in the Otaku Contest!"

As he spoke, he didn't even bother to finish his meal and immediately went to the shelves.

While rummaging back and forth, several discs printed with cute anime girl patterns appeared in his hands.

"If you want to become a qualified otaku, you must first understand the meaning of ACG culture!"

"The so-called ACG is an abbreviation for Anime (Japanese animation), Comic (manga), and Game (games)."

"You can slowly appreciate anime and manga. I'll write you a list of recommendations later."

"But especially in the game aspect, I must personally guide you and tutor you one-on-one!"

"Here are a few dating sim game discs. I'll take you through them first so you can experience the wonders of two-dimensional games!"

Rinnosuke, in a state of evangelism, exuded a strong aura.

Chu Bai watched with trepidation.

If he could have shown this aura during the debate at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the outcome might have been different...

Taking the disc, Chu Bai looked at Rinnosuke and found that he had already brought two computers.

After fiddling for a while, a slot popped out of one of the computers, and Rinnosuke skillfully put the disc in.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and load the game?"

Rinnosuke reminded him.

Chu Bai scratched his head a little embarrassedly:

"Um, Rinnosuke, I forgot to tell you..."

"Although I'm from the outside world, I don't know anything about computers. I only know how to turn them on and use the browser to search."

"So, um, can you start teaching me from the very beginning?"

...

...

Chu Bai, male, Earthling.

But he is a rare person who has almost no knowledge of computer products.

Because when he was 6 years old, he had already wandered around with his master, embarking on the path of cultivating magic.

Until his master died at the age of 12, he had not been exposed to any computer-related education.

At the age of 18, although he was admitted to university, he was still active around the world as a magician.

The substitute teachers he hired were proficient in computers, but he himself was still a newbie and didn't understand anything.

Until the age of 22, he became an ordinary person again and began to live as a language teacher.

Only then did he barely come into contact with computers and learn some of the most basic operations, such as turning them on and off, deleting files, and searching the browser.

As for using discs to load games...

Of course, Chu Bai didn't know anything about it.

Fortunately, Rinnosuke is very patient when it comes to evangelism.

He really started from scratch and taught Chu Bai step by step.

Thanks to him, Chu Bai's computer knowledge improved rapidly and slowly caught up with his pace.

...

...

"Oh, oh, this is the Gensokyo forum?"

Chu Bai moved the mouse, roaming in the world of computers.

At this time, he was learning to use domain names to enter web pages.

Rinnosuke also shared the exclusive forum address of Gensokyo with him.

This is a web page created by the Kappa. After they set up network cables and signal base stations, they developed an exclusive chat forum for the residents of Gensokyo.

Only by connecting to the unique network of Gensokyo can you enter this forum.

Like the outside signals, even if you load the same domain name, the web page will not be displayed.

"Just take a look at the forum and that's it."
