Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

#28 - Section 28

"Young lady, you're in love. This is the emotion called liking."

Huh?

Is this what liking is?

Alice was slightly dazed, stealing a glance at Chu Bai in the distance.

Chu Bai was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and after seeing her gaze, he smiled slightly in response.

It was just an ordinary eye contact, but at that moment, Alice felt her heart flutter, a tingling sensation spreading from her heart throughout her body.

Looking at Chu Bai's smile, she felt as if a faint sweet fragrance was floating in the air.

Is this love?

So she already likes Little White?

But what's next? What should I do next?

"Then, then should I confess? Should I express my feelings?"

Alice murmured.

As a result, Marisa quickly raised her hand to interrupt:

"No, at least definitely not right now."

"Huh? Why?"

Alice, who had absolutely no experience in love, was now subconsciously listening to Marisa's guidance.

And Marisa analyzed logically:

"Because Chu Bai has never interacted with women, he doesn't understand what love is at all."

"If you confess at this time, that blockhead will definitely feel flustered and confused, and then reject you."

"Once you've been rejected, it's very difficult to succeed in confessing again!"

Having read many shoujo manga and having rich theoretical experience, Marisa gave her advice:

"So now, you can only slowly carry out your strategy, slowly let him experience your charm."

"Until he has a sense of love for you, until he's moved by you, then you can confess."

"After all, confession is not a bugle call to launch an attack, but a triumphal song of impending victory, you must remember this!"

"Ah… um…"

Alice responded blankly.

What Marisa said were things to consider in the next few stages.

At this time, her mind was still filled with those simple thoughts.

Like… like…

So I like Little White…

I'm sorry, Little White, you treat me as a friend, but it seems my thoughts are impure…

"Well, don't worry too much, I'm here."

Seeing Alice's blank look, Marisa thought she was worried.

So she comforted her, raising her thumb:

"Chu Bai is now considered my magic teacher, I can use this reason to contact him at any time."

"So I will use this convenient identity to strongly bring you two together, to give you a good assist!"

After a pause, as if afraid of causing misunderstanding, Marisa added:

"Of course, you don't have to worry that I will steal from my employer and snatch your man."

"After all, we are pure master and disciple, our relationship is completely innocent."

"As a disciple, it is absolutely impossible for me to fall in love with my master!"

"So Little Alice, just leave it to me, betting on my title as a shoujo manga master, I will definitely successfully bring you two together, and let you successfully win the handsome man!"

Chapter 26: Reimu is not interested in money? This is an incident!

After that, Marisa and Alice whispered to each other for a while.

Then Marisa lifted the soundproof barrier.

Chu Bai, who was showing off small cakes, immediately raised his head: "Finished chatting?"

"Yes, yes."

Marisa nodded, while Alice stood in front of Chu Bai, lowering her head a little embarrassedly:

"Sorry, Little White, I was impulsive this time. Not only did I cause you trouble, but I also almost demolished Marisa's house…"

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay."

Chu Bai waved his hand generously:

"Even if you really demolished it, I wouldn't feel bad at all, after all, we are friends!"

"…Of course you don't feel bad, because this is my house!"

Marisa said angrily:

"And you should also reflect on yourself! Even if the situation was critical at the time, you can't directly use high-level fire magic, right? Are you afraid of leaving any remnants of my house?"

"Hehehe… I'll pay attention next time, I'll pay attention next time…"

Seeing that the atmosphere had completely recovered.

Marisa quickly gave Alice a wink.

After hesitating slightly, Alice finally mustered up the courage to ask:

"By the way, Little White, do you have any free time these days? Spring is coming soon, how about we go on a spring outing together?"

But Chu Bai shook his head:

"Good suggestion, but unfortunately I'm not free recently."

"Because the Gensokyo Number One Otaku Battle Tournament is about to begin, I have to quickly train for the game and hurry up to clear those bishoujo games."

Marisa couldn't hold back on the spot.

You're still thinking about your bishoujo games? There's a girl asking you out in real life! Are virtual games more important than real girls?

Alice suddenly seemed thoughtful:

"Speaking of the Otaku Battle Tournament, I seem to have heard a little news."

"It is said that this year's competition rules have changed a lot, it seems that you need to form a team of two to participate, and the entire process is ranked in teams."

"Team up?"

Chu Bai was a little worried:

"That means I need a teammate? But I don't know many people in Gensokyo."

Marisa immediately began to hint:

"Really don't have a teammate? Think carefully, as the saying goes, far away at the horizon, close in front of you…"

"Oh, you're right!"

Chu Bai finally reacted: "I almost forgot, isn't there…"

Alice nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"

Chu Bai: "Isn't there Reimu!"

Alice: "Um… um?"

Chu Bai: "Far away at the horizon, isn't the horizon the border of Gensokyo, which is the Hakurei Shrine? Thank you, Marisa, you reminded me, I'm going to find Reimu to team up!"

Alice: "?"

Marisa: "???"

Watching Chu Bai run out in a puff of smoke.

Marisa couldn't hold back on the spot:

"Are you serious, you guy? I clearly said Little Alice! Hurry back and obediently invite Little Alice to team up, and then go get married and have children, damn it!"

Alice was sulking, tugging at Marisa's sleeve:

"Calm down, Marisa, maybe Chu Bai didn't think I would participate, after all, my personality is very incompatible with the style of the Otaku Battle Tournament."

Marisa said angrily:

"Then I'll go drag him back!"

"No need."

Alice shook her head slightly, perhaps because Chu Bai had already left, she finally regained her usual calmness and composure.

"Since Little White wants to team up with Reimu, then let him go. Anyway, with his EQ, there will definitely be no spark with Reimu."

"As for my side, let's still team up with the two of us to participate. Although I have special feelings for Little White, I would like to show my strength for the time being, and don't want to be regarded as a vase who only knows how to obey."

Marisa looked at the calm Alice in surprise, she subconsciously murmured:

"Finally regained her original sanity? The saying that love makes women stupid is really true…"

"Marisa!!"

"Ouch, don't pinch me, I'm just kidding… it hurts, it hurts…"

……

After leaving the Magic Forest, Chu Bai went all out to the Hakurei Shrine.

As Alice predicted, Chu Bai really did not equate Alice with the Otaku Battle Tournament.

After all, her performance and temperament do not look like someone who would participate in this kind of competition, so Chu Bai directly ignored the Alice in front of him.

However, when he arrived at the shrine and asked Reimu to team up, he was unexpectedly rejected.

As for the reason, it was of course quite strange…

"I'm not interested."

Reimu's expression did not change at all, exuding a cold aura:

"You go find someone else to team up, my answer here is definitely no."

Chu Bai expressed doubt about this:

"I didn't hear wrong, you greedy shrine maiden is actually not interested? This is a 500,000 yen prize, you know?"

"Not interested."

"This is money that can fill your offering box, you know?"

"Not interested, I'm just not interested!"

"500,000 yen, 500,000 yen, you can't spend it all in a year, can't spend it all, can't spend it all…"

"Shut up, shut up! You guy is so annoying!"
