Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"But you're actually thinking of dating two religious masters at the same time?"

"Although it's not really my place to say, you're already taken, you know? Even if you want to start a harem, at least tell Alice first, right?"

It's not like I'm trying to start a harem.

Just as Chu Bai was about to explain, he saw Satori Komeiji's expression change:

"Oh? In order to forge bonds and enhance your law abilities, you want to make such a request?"

"As for the reason you want to get stronger quickly... is it because Gensokyo is facing a huge disaster, and your law is the key ability to solve it?"

"I see, I knew you weren't the scummy type to be playing multiple women."

"If that's the reason, then it's quite normal."

Chu Bai stared at the little loli, sweating:

"Your ability is too convenient, isn't it? I haven't even said a word, and you already understand the whole story."

"Well, there are pros and cons."

Satori Komeiji sighed, then said seriously:

"Since you have such a reason, then I think you will accept something I was originally planning to ask of you."

A new request?

Chu Bai immediately perked up:

"Tell me more."

Satori Komeiji took out a flyer and pointed to the title on it:

"Summer is coming to an end, which means the harvest festival that heralds autumn is about to be held."

"As usual, a movie will be shown at the harvest festival."

"So I want to ask you... as a member of the Underground Geyser Center, to help us make a movie with the theme of autumn or harvest. And it must pass the selection process and be successfully screened at the harvest festival."

Chapter 266: Dating Two Masters at the Same Time? The Underground Geyser Center's Genius Director!

The harvest festival is a festival at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.

Like the summer night festival, it is mainly used to announce the arrival of autumn, and it also serves to worship the gods and pray for a good harvest.

But Chu Bai really couldn't figure out what the relationship between the harvest festival and movies was.

Satori Komeiji said from the side:

"As the saying goes, autumn is the season for watching movies..."

"There's no such saying!"

"Yes, there is. It was said by a lady named Satori Komeiji..."

"So you just made that up!"

"Well, after all, this is Gensokyo, and we can't be bound by common sense."

The little loli continued:

"Before the festival, there will be special judges responsible for screening the movies."

"If we can get into the top three, we can screen it at the end of the festival."

"For the Underground Geyser Center, this is a great opportunity to become famous and improve everyone's impression of us."

"So I would like to ask the multi-talented you to help us and serve as the director of our Underground Geyser Center."

Chu Bai showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Saying he was multi-talented was probably right.

Because since coming to Gensokyo, he seemed to have participated in a lot of competitions.

But he really had no confidence in being a movie director, which sounded like a very professional job, and he had no relevant experience at all.

Sensing his inner thoughts, the little loli comforted him:

"It's okay, if it doesn't work, you can always draw inspiration from other works."

"Then I'll give it a try."

No sooner said than done.

Chu Bai came up with a preliminary script at this banquet:

"The male protagonist was once a piano prodigy, but became unable to play the piano due to psychological barriers. So, through the introduction of his childhood sweetheart, he met the female lead, who was also very good at playing the piano, and the two began a wonderful ensemble. But soon the male protagonist learned that the female lead was seriously ill and needed to undergo a surgery with a low success rate..."

"Wait a minute, you're copying a bit too blatantly!"

The little loli quickly reached out to interrupt:

"I told you to draw inspiration, not to copy directly!"

"And the theme of the movie must be autumn or harvest. Are there these two elements in the whole script?"

Chu Bai gave a thumbs up:

"Yes, brother, yes."

"Because the name of the movie is 'Your Lie in October'. Isn't October autumn...?"

"You're even copying the title! Rejected!"

"Tsk..."

Chu Bai clicked his tongue, then suddenly had a new idea:

"Hey, I have another idea."

"This time, the male protagonist is a chef in a factory, living in a Chinese-style courtyard house. The neighbors also include a widow who is also a worker, and a projectionist who is his mortal enemy."

"The lives of several people have their ups and downs, and the days are constantly advancing. Until this year's autumn, there is a bumper harvest in the fields. In order to complete the factory's targets, the three people work together to find ways to improve the efficiency of harvesting wheat..."

Satori Komeiji nodded repeatedly as she listened.

This time it was a good idea.

If it were made into a movie, it would definitely have a Chinese-style atmosphere of life.

As a result, Chu Bai changed the subject:

"But the male protagonist accidentally crashed while harvesting wheat, and he also forgot to bring a parachute. At the critical moment, the divine light stick appeared, and he transformed into a Giant of Light and started a great battle with Godzilla, who appeared from the wheat field. The steel factory projectionist who was traveling with him bit his finger and transformed into a giant, even more vigorously harvesting the wheat."

"So the name of this play is 'Harvest Giant: Ultraman vs. Siheyuan'..."

"Wait a minute! Isn't the style in the back changing a bit too much!"

Satori Komeiji was numb:

"Because there are too many things to complain about, I don't even know where to start!"

Chu Bai smiled:

"Isn't that right? The audience must also have a lot of things to complain about, so wouldn't the movie's discussion increase?"

"But I don't want this type of discussion! After all, the purpose of our filming is to reverse public opinion. If this movie comes out, I'm afraid the Underground Geyser Center's rating will plummet to the bottom, just like our location!"

She issued a long series of complaints.

The delicate little loli was panting slightly:

"In short, make me a serious movie, don't sew so many weird things together!"

"Eh... okay..."

Seeing Chu Bai looking a little disappointed.

The little loli didn't continue to complain, but instead offered the promised reward:

"Well, although there are many requirements, the reward I prepared is also very generous."

"I will provide 20 million in filming funds, all of which will be handed over to you, the director, for arrangement."

"And as long as the movie is finally completed, I will guarantee you a salary of 200,000 yen."

"If the movie is finally selected and screened at the harvest festival, there will be an additional 1 million yen as a reward. And the better the finished product, the more bonus you will get."

So there was a reward?

Speaking of this, Chu Bai immediately perked up:

"That is to say, I can get at least 21 million in rewards?"

"...You've already defaulted to embezzling funds."

Satori Komeiji narrowed her eyes:

"My mind-reading ability is not for decoration. If you embezzle funds, you will have to repay it tenfold."

"Hehe, how could I? I'm just joking."

Chu Bai laughed dryly.

Although he had saved a lot of money before, he had been spending money on his recent travels.

Especially during the previous Black Church invasion, he had been taking care of things everywhere, and his expenses were very high.

And if he accepted this commission, he could both forge bonds with more people and enrich his wallet. No matter how he thought about it, he wouldn't lose out.

So in the end, he chose to accept the commission and became the temporary director of the Underground Geyser Center.

……

……

Now that he had become a director, he would definitely have to live with the little loli for a while.

It just so happened that his journey had not yet ended, so the next destination was naturally the Underground Geyser Center.

But before that...

Looking at the very lively banquet scene, where many acquaintances were gathered together, it was a very good opportunity to win over actors.

So Chu Bai took the lead in approaching Byakuren Hijiri and Toyosatomimi no Miko:

"So, so, and so..."

Miko suddenly understood:

"So, you want to invite us two to be actors?"

Chu Bai nodded:

"That's right, do you want to come?"

Miko shook her head:

"I'm sorry, because the Divine Spirit Mausoleum also wants to participate in the harvest festival's film selection to gain more popularity."

"So we ourselves also have to film our own movie, I'm afraid we can't spare the time."

Byakuren Hijiri added from the side:

"The Myouren Temple is the same, but come to think of it, we seem to still owe you any request."

"If Chu Bai-kun uses that request count, we can also give up filming a movie and come to help you, okay?"

Chu Bai immediately waved his hand.

Then, as if he had accidentally let it slip, he subconsciously blurted out:

"Then forget it, I still want to use this precious request count on living with you."

As a result, the two girls were immediately startled:

"Eh? Living together? And with both of us?"

Chapter 267: Reimu Got Into the Wrong Bed, You Can't Sleep Like This, Friend!

"Ah, I accidentally let it slip."

Chu Bai quickly covered his mouth, pretending to have misspoke.
