Gensokyo, I, the slime, made them regret for the rest of their lives

The only controversial issue was the day before yesterday when a honey trap gang was identified in the human world.

However, they were arrested on the spot by the guards and had no motive for committing a crime. Moreover, judging from the signs of damage to the house, it was definitely not something that ordinary people could have caused.

"Don't you know Yakumo Yukari? You can ask her for help. She's free anyway."

Suddenly, Feng Jian Youxiang suggested, Bai Luo raised his head and curled his lips:

"Her? Forget it."

"That's right." As if she understood something, Feng Jianyouxiang nodded in understanding, expressing her agreement.

Invisible to the naked eye, a well-shaped pattern faintly appeared in the void.

"Yakumo Yukari is not good, but her Shikigami is still reliable."

"Blue?"

Bai Luo stroked his chin and shook his head.

I have already troubled her enough during this period of time, and Yakumo Ran has a lot of things to do, so I feel embarrassed to disturb her again.

After thinking for a while, Feng Jian Youxiang said again:

"Go north, through the Magic Forest. There's a shrine at the easternmost part of Gensokyo. You can ask the shrine maiden there for help."

"Hakurei Shrine?"

Kazami Yuuka nodded.

"She likes money. You can pay her to investigate."

"money?"

Bai Luo was stunned for a moment.

Gold + Miko = Reimu Hakurei.

For some reason, a formula popped into Bai Luo's mind.

What a strange combination.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the great sage, Bai Luo came to the Hakurei Shrine again.

Climb the sloping stairs and walk along the approach road. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom on both sides, and the petals fall like snowflakes.

If you are looking for a quiet and beautiful residence, this is a good choice.

Looking from a distance, Bai Luo discovered that the door to the worship hall was still closed.

"The door's not open again?"

I remember Yakumo Aoi said that Hakurei Reimu is very lazy, but is it really possible that a shrine is still closed at noon?

Bai Luo muttered to himself as he came to the front door. He was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but he saw the Kagura bell hanging there. He turned to the bell and gently pulled it.

"Dingling~"

The clear sound of the bell echoed in the empty shrine.

Two minutes passed and there was no movement, so Bai Luo pulled three more times.

"Ding-ling-ding-ling..."

Five minutes passed, and apart from the occasional chirping of insects and birds, there was still no movement inside the door.

“Is anyone there…?”

Bai Luo knocked on the door and shouted.

Ten minutes later, Bai Luo gave up completely. As a seasoned slacker, he knew very well that it was impossible to make a sleeping salted fish jump up.

[Notice. There is a chance that putting money into the tournament cash box will awaken the individual Hakurei Reimu.]

Invest money?

Bai Luo glanced around curiously, his eyes landing on a wooden box hanging on the left side of the gate, with a hole on the top for inserting money.

"Does this really work?"

Bai Luo asked suspiciously.

He also vaguely remembered that this witch was very greedy for money, but the setting that the witch would appear if you put money into the money box was too outrageous.

Although he was skeptical, Bai Luo still took out a silver coin from his sleeve and threw it in.

Anyway, I have a lot of pocket money every month, so it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.

"Dong dong..."

The metal hit the wood with a heavy sound.

The sound was very small, at least in Bai Luo's opinion, far less than the noise made by knocking on the door and ringing the bell.

That's right, could it be that this witch has telepathy with the money box and is one with it?

Just as he turned to leave, he heard a slight noise behind him - the sound of a door opening.

They really are one! ?

Bai Luo widened his eyes and turned around, and a red and white figure came into view.

"Welcome to Hakurei Shrine. How may I help you?"

The girl asked this, but her eyes were fixed on the money box.

Bai Luo felt that if he was not there, the other party would probably pounce on him, take off the money box to see how much the visit fee was.

"I'm here on a commission. I want to find someone to help me investigate something."

Bai Luo gave a brief explanation.

Reimu's expression froze. For her, it was better not to move if possible. Commissioning something was the most troublesome thing.

Suddenly, her eyes flickered and she smiled again, "I see. Let's go inside first and have some tea and talk."

Reimu opened the door and moved sideways.

"You go in and sit down first, I'll be there later."

Bai Luo was puzzled, but nodded and walked in.

However, before he had taken a few steps, he heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and drawers behind him, followed by the excited voice of a young girl:

"Silver coins! They're silver coins!"

"I've got this month's food money!"

"..."

Listening to the girl's screams outside the door, Bai Luo's eyes couldn't help but become a little subtle, but he pretended not to hear it and sat on the tatami next to the low table.

Not long after, Reimu also walked in, her face still flushed with excitement.

She stared straight at Bai Luo, her peach-colored eyes emitting a strange green glow, which made Bai Luo shrink his shoulders and neck and become alert.

Judging from the performance of this witch just now, Bai Luo was somewhat suspicious that this guy would knock him out with a stick - to rob him of his money.

Reimu didn't think too much about it. She quickly poured out the tea leaves on the table that had been brewed countless times and brewed a new pot.

"What could you ask me to do? You look like you've just arrived in Gensokyo, haven't you?"

Originally, Reimu wanted to make up a random excuse to refuse, but the one silver coin as the shrine fee instantly changed her mind, and she even changed her address to honorifics.

After all, only by taking a long-term view can steady progress be achieved.

Bai Luo nodded and said depressedly:

"My house in the southwest flower fields was inexplicably demolished this morning."

He spoke simply and clearly, and Reimu nodded from time to time, but she felt something was wrong when she heard the latter part.

house?

The flower field in the southwest room! ?

After realizing what was happening, Reimu's heart skipped a beat. As far as she knew, there were only sunflower fields in the southwest.

She asked tentatively, "Is the flower field you mentioned underneath the Magic Forest, made up of many sunflowers?"

Bai Luo nodded slightly.

“That’s good for building a house.”

Um...

Anything related to those guys will be troublesome.

It’s not easy to make money.

Wait a moment...

The house next to the sunflower field?

As if remembering something, a bead of sweat slid down her forehead. Reimu swallowed hard, and after organizing her words, she asked:

"So, you want me to help you find the culprit? And what will you do after you find her? You're not going to chop her into pieces or anything, are you?"

"Of course I need to say that! I worked so hard to build this house, and before it even lasted a few days, it was destroyed. She must pay the price!"

Looking at Bai Luo's angry expression with his fists clenched, Reimu silently swallowed the thought of admitting it.

Gensokyo: Chapter 12: The Great Sage's Calming Function

"This shrine doesn't accept private detective work, but since we have a connection, I can help you rebuild your house for free."

Ling Meng suppressed her guilty conscience and said seriously.

After these words were spoken, Bai Luo glanced at Ling Meng in surprise, and his opinion of her changed a little.

I thought this witch would be shameless and greedy, but I didn't expect her to be so kind.

"This kind of thing happens all the time in Gensokyo, just get used to it. If it's convenient, I can help you rebuild during this time."

Bai Luo shook his head slightly. "What if it's destroyed after it's built? I still hope to catch the murderer first."

As he spoke, he took out a gold coin.

"This is the reward for this commission. If it's not enough, you can add more."

"Uh-huh!"

Looking at the gold coins on the low table, Reimu was stunned at first, and then her breathing became rapid.

The sunlight slanted in through the window lattice, shining on the gold coins, reflecting rays of golden light.

The gold coins were dazzling, especially to the poor witch, as success illuminated the path she had decided on.

The little claws silently put the gold coins into the shrine maiden's clothes. If it weren't for Marisa, she would not have been able to blow up the house of the rich man in front of her.

Therefore, the source of everything, the culprit of everything is Marisa!

Right, that is it!

After formulating some logic, Reimu smiled, her eyes becoming much clearer. With a wave of her hand, she made the final decision:

"I'll take this commission! Just come over at this time tomorrow, and I promise to catch the culprit for you."

So fast?

Bai Luo glanced at her suspiciously, but seeing her confident expression, he no longer doubted her.

"If you can really catch the culprit in front of me tomorrow, I'll give you more money."

"okay!"

Finally, with the smiling welcome from the shrine maiden, Bai Luo left the shrine. It was still early and the house had been demolished. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

There is no rush to rebuild the Happy House until the murderer is caught.

Bai Luoke didn't want his building to be destroyed halfway through.

After some thought, Bai Luo decided to go back to Yakumo's residence to take a look.

However, after returning to the Yakumo residence and looking around, there was no sign of Yakumo Aoi.

After taking a final look at Yakumo Yukari's room and confirming that Yakumo Ran was not at home, Bai Luo decisively decided to leave and go for a walk outside.
