Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Fingertips gently traced her thigh and the side of her foot.

Sanae looked at the faint marks with some confusion.

But she didn't dwell on it, because today she had wind priestess training with Chu Bai.

So she simply wiped herself off and quickly put on her clothes, preparing to meet Chu Bai.

But as she got dressed and was about to leave, she finally noticed something was wrong with her surroundings.

"Wait, wasn't this room assigned to Mr. Chu Bai? Why am I sleeping here?"

"Could it be… I went into the wrong room last night??"

Even her usually slow-to-react mind finally caught on.

Sanae's heart immediately began to race, and she quickly went outside to look around.

She saw Chu Bai sitting on the steps in the courtyard, looking up as if contemplating life.

He looked slightly tired, clearly having not slept all night. Combining that with the temperature of the bedding beside him, which had long since cooled, Sanae immediately understood.

It seemed Chu Bai had also realized she had gone to the wrong room.

But instead of taking advantage of the situation, he had quietly left the room and sat outside all night.

Thinking this, Chu Bai's image in Sanae's mind immediately rose significantly.

He's actually a pretty good guy!

"Mr. Chu Bai."

Sanae immediately went to his side, a slightly embarrassed expression on her face:

"I'm really sorry about last night, I'll be more careful next time!"

She was naturally referring to going to the wrong room.

But Chu Bai recalled his amorous behavior last night, and his whole body immediately trembled:

"I-It seems you've found out."

"This was indeed my fault, I won't run away from it, so please feel free to blame me."

"?"

Sanae tilted her head in confusion:

"Why are you apologizing? I was the one who went to the wrong room, right?"

"Uh, that's true, but after all, I did… that kind of thing to you…"

Chu Bai explained, quite embarrassed. The pure-hearted him had no relevant experience, and even his speech became hesitant.

However, Sanae was completely unaware of what Chu Bai had done to her body.

She just assumed that the two of them had accidentally ended up lying together, and Chu Bai felt he had taken advantage of her, which was why he was so embarrassed.

"It's okay, these things are certainly embarrassing, but haven't you already 'come out'?"

Sanae comforted him:

"You've already done very well, many people wouldn't have reacted like you."

The reaction she was referring to was his gentlemanly behavior of voluntarily leaving the room.

However, the guilty Chu Bai interpreted it as something else entirely, and his eyes widened in shock:

"What? Other people's reactions? Have you done this with many other people before?"

"Not really…"

Sanae smiled slightly:

"It's just that in shoujo manga, this is a very classic misunderstanding. So I was thinking, if I ever encountered something like this, I shouldn't make a fuss and hurt my friend's feelings."

So that's how it was.

In this wind priestess's view, this fell into the category of misunderstandings.

Thinking about it carefully, he had been planning to run away from the start anyway.

She was the one who took the initiative to hug him, and even stretched out her legs to rub against him, even using her little feet…

So even if he couldn't hold back, it couldn't be entirely his fault, it should be a shared responsibility.

Thinking this, Chu Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, emerging from that intense feeling of guilt:

"So… last night's matter is just over?"

"Yes, yes, let's just let it pass."

Sanae revealed a pure smile like a girl next door:

"If we keep apologizing, we won't be able to do anything today."

"Um… Th-Then thank you…"

Chu Bai blinked:

"Anyway… thanks for the treat?"

"Eh? That… You're welcome?"

Thus, the inexplicable conversation came to an end.

The two, whose wavelengths hadn't even matched up, just let the matter drop.

……

……

After washing up.

Chu Bai gradually recovered his spirits.

For him, who had never been in a relationship, last night's events were truly too stimulating.

But since it had already been glossed over, he naturally wouldn't bring it up again, and simply said to Sanae in his usual tone:

"So, please tell me the specific third request?"

Chu Bai said half-jokingly:

"I'm warning you, you have to give me the Deep Sea Dragon Orb after completing this request, okay?"

"If you pull off some kind of 'the third request contains three conditions' Matryoshka doll plot, not only will I get angry, but even the readers will get impatient, okay?"

"…I don't understand what you're saying."

Sanae explained:

"The third request is actually to ask you to help me with my wind priestess training, to help me become a popular wind priestess."

"Actually, I've always admired Miss Reimu. Especially her unrestrained style, her all-around skills, and her independent personality, I feel like she's even more popular than me."

"So I want to learn from her, to be as mature and reliable as she is."

Chu Bai listened blankly to Sanae's description.

Especially when he heard those adjectives, his whole face was dumbfounded:

"A mature and reliable red-white shrine maiden? Who are you talking about? Does that person even exist in Gensokyo?"

"Of course it's Reimu, I'm serious."

Seeing Sanae seriously admitting it, Chu Bai suddenly understood:

"Oh, I get it, you're talking about the Reimu you met in your dreams, right."

"As the saying goes, dreams are the opposite of reality, the Reimu you met in your dream certainly fits the personality you described."

"…How bad is your impression of Reimu anyway."

Sanae retorted blandly, her eyes narrowed.

Chu Bai focused on Sanae's needs:

"In short, you want to be popular, right?"

"This is a piece of cake, come with me."

Saying that, Chu Bai led Sanae down the mountain to the small path at the foot of Youkai Mountain.

Just as a villager was passing by, Chu Bai directly grabbed the villager:

"Hey friend, who do you think is more popular, Kouchiya Sanae or Hakurei Reimu?"

That villager was also a straightforward person, and after thinking carefully, he answered without any reservation:

"Both girls are very cute, but I still prefer Hakurei Reimu, because I'm a Reimu fan…"

Before he could finish speaking.

Chu Bai took out a 40-meter-long greatsword and looked at the villager with a smile:

"Are you sure you want to think about that again?"

"Holy crap!"

The villager was scared out of his wits on the spot:

"Brother, I was wrong, Sanae is actually the most popular, Sanae is the best! I'm a hardcore Sanae fan now!"

Chu Bai then nodded in satisfaction, giving Sanae a thumbs up:

"See, this way you're more popular than Reimu…"

"I don't want to be popular like this!"

Sanae finally couldn't hold it in anymore:

"Please help me in a more serious way!"

"Eh… Is this not okay?"

"Nope!"

Sanae firmly crossed her arms, while also comforting the passerby as he left.

Chu Bai, on the other hand, pondered deeply, finding himself in a dilemma.

Looking at his frowning face, Sanae thought for a moment, and finally spoke:

"Actually, I already have an idea, but I need someone to cooperate with me."

"Oh? You already have an idea?"

Chu Bai immediately said:

"Then go ahead and tell me, I will definitely cooperate with you!"

"Okay!"

Sanae nodded obediently:

"Then, please go on a date with me in the Human Village!"

"Eh? What did you say?"

Chu Bai was stunned, wondering if he had misheard.

But Sanae repeated herself:

"Please go on a date with me in the Human Village!"

"A date?"

Almost instantly, Chu Bai immediately reached out to refuse:

"I'm sorry, you're a good person, and although you're very beautiful and have indeed made my heart flutter, I haven't considered things in that regard, and I don't have any plans to get married recently, or rather, I plan to stay single forever…"

"???"
