Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"Hey, I didn't confess to you!"

Her unique thought process made Marisa's emotions somewhat disjointed.

Under Chu Bai's questioning gaze, Marisa solemnly said:

"Actually, I wanted to ask..."

"Chu Bai, can you be my master and teach me magic?"

Chapter 20: Marisa: It's late, want to come to my place?

"I refuse."

Almost without hesitation.

Chu Bai raised his hand as smoothly as stuffing an elephant into a refrigerator.

Marisa immediately became anxious:

"Why? And won't you even listen to my reasons for wanting to be your disciple?"

"No matter what reasons you have, my answer is still no."

Seeing Marisa's dissatisfied expression, Chu Bai proactively explained:

"After experiencing those things in the outside world, I no longer want to take on disciples. Moreover, I've lost most of my magical power, so I'm not worthy of being your master."

Marisa shook her head:

"That's not true. Even if your strength is impaired, your knowledge and experience are still there."

"And even Reimu has praised your talent, saying you're even more powerful than her."

"She also said that even if you haven't recovered to your full strength, you can still become a top-tier fighter in Gensokyo with just your talent and skills."

Mentioning Reimu's name, Marisa revealed an unwilling expression:

"I'm actually not a competitive person."

"But seeing Reimu lazing around every day, yet her physical and spiritual skills improve rapidly. While I work hard to cultivate magic with all my might, I still can't catch up to her..."

"Even I feel frustrated."

Chu Bai looked at the disappointed Marisa with some surprise.

He didn't expect this blonde girl to be a hardworking magician with an unknown diligent side.

But some things can't be easily let go of.

"Sorry, it's still no."

Chu Bai shook his head slightly and said, "I, Chu Bai, just want to live a peaceful life. You should find someone else to be your master."

Marisa blinked, not expecting her attempt to gain sympathy to be ineffective.

However, remembering Chu Bai's personality, she immediately rolled her eyes and changed her strategy.

"Then let's not talk about that for now. You said you're participating in the annual house-fighting competition and are training in bishōjo games, right?"

"Yes, so what?"

"Heh heh..."

Marisa revealed a cunning smile:

"Since you're training for games, you definitely need your own computer. I happen to have a spare computer at home, so why don't I just give it to you?"

"What?"

Chu Bai's expression changed instantly:

"Give me a computer for free? Really?"

"Of course, it's true."

Marisa patted her flat chest:

"And there's also a matching mouse and mechanical keyboard, as well as the latest Bluetooth speakers. You can take all of these!"

Chu Bai's breathing immediately quickened:

"W-What about the computer's specs?"

"Specs, ah, I don't really remember. It seems to be something like an i9, followed by a long string of numbers. And something like a 4090..."

As if struck by lightning, Chu Bai was shocked on the spot.

He had only seen one computer with such top-tier specs at Kourindou, and Rinnosuke strictly forbade him from touching it.

But Marisa actually has one? And she's going to give it to him?

Chu Bai almost bowed down directly: "I, Bai, have drifted for half my life, only regretting that I haven't met a wise lord..."

"Stop, stop!"

Marisa hurriedly took out a contract: "I don't want you to worship any adoptive mothers. Just sign your name here, and the computer will be yours ~★"

"Easy, easy."

Chu Bai happily prepared to sign.

But halfway through signing, he suddenly reacted and quickly looked at the text on the contract.

It turned out to be a master-disciple contract, stipulating that after Chu Bai accepted the computer, he would need to take Marisa as a disciple and painstakingly teach her magic. The contract was valid for a full 100 years.

Chu Bai: "..."

Marisa: "..."

Chu Bai: "Stare..."

Marisa awkwardly whistled: "Oops, I've been found out..."

Chu Bai sighed.

After casually throwing away the contract, he looked at Marisa with a complicated expression.

"I say, Shasha."

"Hmm?"

"Do you really want to be my disciple that much?"

"Yes."

"Even though I'm almost useless now, and can barely use any high-level spells?"

"You're not useless. Don't underestimate yourself."

Marisa looked into Chu Bai's eyes and suddenly felt a little embarrassed:

"And you're different from others. I'm always very happy when I'm with you, and there's always a strange sense of closeness."

"That's why I made this request. I wouldn't casually become someone's disciple, no matter how powerful their magic is."

"But never mind, since you don't want to take on a disciple, then I won't force you. I'll just continue to use my own efforts to chase after that lazy Reimu."

"... Sigh."

Chu Bai sighed helplessly.

Chu Bai's attitude finally softened:

"The atmosphere has already been built up to this point, so refusing so strictly would make me seem too fixated on the past."

"And you've even brought out such a top-tier computer. Just for that sincerity alone, I have to respond in some way."

"Eh? Could it be??"

Marisa's eyes suddenly lit up, shining like stars in the night sky.

Chu Bai nodded slightly and said:

"I won't easily take on disciples before I recover my strength. But if you have any confusion in your cultivation, you can come to me at any time, and I'll do my best to answer you."

"And if you're bullied, just come to me, provided you didn't provoke them first..."

"Waahhhhh! Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"

Marisa immediately pounced, directly pinning Chu Bai to the ground.

Chu Bai quickly held down her restless head:

"Calm down! And don't call me master. I'm just giving you some advice. You can still call me by my name like before!"

"Okay, Master! Understood, Master! Thank you, Master!"

"That's why I said don't call me master!!"

......

......

After getting up from the ground, Chu Bai straightened his collar.

He didn't know why Shasha was so happy.

Looking at Marisa's face filled with a happy blush, and then looking at the time.

It was already 2:30 AM, and it would be dawn in a while.

"By the way, Master..."

"Hmm?"

Chu Bai made a gesture to leave, and Marisa quickly changed her address:

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai!"

"Yeah, yeah."

Chu Bai nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the young man with a handsome appearance in front of her, Marisa took a deep breath and then turned her head slightly.

Her delicate and perfect face had a slightly embarrassed expression.

"That, Xiao Bai, it's so late now..."

"Do you want to... come to my place?"

Chapter 21: At this moment, Alice is on her way

"Xiao Bai..."

"Want to come to my place?"

Moonlight shone through the gaps in the forest, illuminating the blonde girl.

Her fair face radiated a slight blush, her golden eyes flickered slightly, and the shyness of a young girl was faintly visible.

This picture of beauty under the moon directly stunned Chu Bai.

He didn't expect the carefree Marisa to have such a girly side.

"Sure, sitting is no problem."

Chu Bai stretched out his right hand, spread his fingers, and made a standard rejection gesture:

"But if it's a confession, then forget it. Although you're a good girl, we're not suitable after all, and I don't have any plans to find a girlfriend for the time being..."

"It's not a confession! It's just purely going to my house to sit, and then I want to ask you some magical questions!"

Marisa instantly broke down:

"And you've rejected me twice in a row. Am I really that unappealing?"

"I should be the one rejecting! As a disciple, it's absolutely impossible to fall in love with the master, so master, you shouldn't have that kind of fantasy!"

"... You called me the wrong thing again, don't call me master."

Chu Bai tapped her lightly, and at the same time, he also confirmed a certain conclusion in his heart.
