At first, he thought it was Kazami's magical cannon, but that idea was immediately rejected.
After all, Kazami's magic cannon is not that weak. If it were her magic cannon, it would probably leave not even ashes on the wall.
Bai An frowned in thought, wondering if someone was targeting him.
It's impossible for something like that to happen. After all, who in their right mind would randomly fire a magic cannon and it just so happens to hit his newly built house?
But when I came to Gensokyo, I only went to the Sunflower Field and the Human Village. I only talked to a few people. How could I possibly have offended anyone?
Bai An was completely baffled, but finally decided to follow the direction the magic cannon had come from and search for it.
The magic cannon came from the forest we had before; I heard from the wind that it was called the Magic Forest.
The area he had explored before was only the outer entrance to the forest; further in, it was shrouded in a thin layer of mist year-round.
The spores emitted by the mushroom monster were also mixed in with the mist.
Although it is harmless to them, it is like poisonous fog to ordinary humans, and even to weak monsters.
Although not fatal, excessive use can cause significant harm to the body, and in severe cases, even death.
Bai An wandered in the magic forest for a long time, but still found nothing unusual.
However, he did discover a place called the Mist Rain Magic Shop deep inside.
The door is open.
Judging from the signboard hanging inside the store, it seems to be a general store.
Treasure hunting.
The monsters are cured and gone.
Secret detective.
A master of love.
Many children and grandchildren...
After reviewing the store's business scope, Bai An couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
The further you go, the more strange business you encounter.
Is this shop, or the shop owner, a decent person?
However, Bai An had a general idea of the shop owner's personality.
Likes to be funny, is easygoing, and optimistic.
The fact that you can successfully claim the reward from the wall, but not take anything if you fail, also reveals the shopkeeper's unexpected kindness.
But inside, the piles of broken props and the messy clothes on the floor all revealed the owner's personality.
Suddenly, he noticed another line of text on the sign.
If needed, please visit me in the following areas.
The map marks several buildings.
It looks like this is a place where the shop owner might frequent.
Although the shop owner's actions seemed unbelievable, they had no choice but to try anything at this point.
It's possible that the shop owner really is a very skilled detective, able to find the bastard who blew up his house with a magic cannon in no time.
I carefully examined the location of the map markers.
Bai An chose the closest place to him and headed straight for his destination.
Soon, Bai An passed through the thick fog and arrived at the other side of the forest.
Before me were layers of steps, at the top of which stood a shrine.
The shrine is neither large nor small, and its exterior is simple and elegant.
"I never expected there would be a shrine in this place."
Bai An looked around, not understanding why the shrine was built here. If people from the Human Village wanted to come here, they either had to go through the Magic Forest or take a long detour before arriving at the shrine.
Bai An walked up the steps, looked at the money box at the door, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a silver coin and put it in.
"Dong dong!"
The metal collided with the offering box with a soft sound, and almost at the same time, the shrine gate suddenly opened.
Before he could react, a figure appeared in front of him in an instant.
"Welcome to Hakurei Shrine. Thank you for your offerings. I am the shrine maiden Hakurei Reimu. Do you need any help?"
Although she said that, her peach-colored eyes were fixed on the money box, and she even swallowed.
Bai An paused for a second, then realized what was happening and quickly explained.
“I came from the Kirisame Magic Shop. I have a request to find the shop owner, but she is not in the shop. However, the shop says that she can be found at the Hakurei Shrine.”
"Misty Rain Magic Shop?"
Reimu Hakurei paused for a moment.
"You came from the Magic Forest?"
Bai An nodded.
Seeing Bai An nod, Reimu Hakurei looked at Bai An with a strange expression and carefully examined him.
The Forest of Magic is not a place that an ordinary human can traverse.
But no matter how you look at it, the other person is no different from an ordinary person.
The only difference is that the other person is very good-looking, not in an extraordinary way, but in an extreme way that exudes the clarity and gentleness of youth.
"Excuse me, may I ask if the owner of the Mist Rain Magic Shop is here?"
Bai An sensed that the other person's gaze was a bit strange and couldn't help but interrupt.
"Sorry, sorry. You're here to see Marisa, right? She's here."
Reimu Hakurei then came to her senses, said apologetically, and turned around to shout into the shrine.
"Marisa, someone is looking for you."
"Oh, here it comes!"
As Reimu Hakurei finished speaking, a figure dressed in black and white darted out from the shrine.
"Reimu, who's looking for me? Is it him?"
Marisa blinked, staring curiously at Bai An.
After staring for a while, her delicate face flushed slightly.
She leaned closer to Reimu and whispered.
"Reimu, are you here to pay respects?"
"Didn't I already tell you? I came here to see you."
Upon hearing this, Reimu Hakurei's forehead creased with a tsk-like expression, and she said irritably.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Marisa asked, somewhat bewildered.
"Are you the owner of the Mist Rain Magic Shop? I have a request for your help."
Bai An politely spoke to Marisa, revealing her purpose.
"Commission? What commission?"
Marisa asked instinctively, then remembered something, and her eyes lit up.
"You said you had a request for me!"
"Well, my house, which I worked so hard to build, was destroyed by some bastard. I saw that the store offers detective services, so I'd like to ask you to help me investigate who that person is."
I don't know why the other person is so emotional.
But Bai An still nodded in response.
"No problem, let's go inside and talk."
Upon hearing this, Marisa was overjoyed. She grabbed Bai An's hand and led him into the shrine.
Although her magic shop has been built for many years, it is located deep in the Magic Forest.
Ordinary people simply cannot get involved, and those who are capable do not need these kinds of services.
Therefore, Bai An was the first person to ask her for a commission in all these years.
How could she not be excited!
Gensokyo: Chapter Eleven - The Culprit!
"That's exactly it. After working so hard all day, the house was just built when it was blown to smithereens by some magic cannon."
Bai An explained everything clearly, picked up the freshly brewed tea on the table, and took a sip.
Marisa fell silent after hearing this.
Reimu Hakurei seemed to understand something, and looked at Marisa with a strange expression.
There are only a handful of people in Gensokyo who play Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, and the guy in front of me is one of them, and also the most likely one.
"Um, could you tell me where your house is located?"
Marisa asked cautiously, a vague sense of unease flashing through her mind.
Bai An put down the tea and pointed in the direction of the sunflower field.
"Look, there's a sunflower field over there, and my house is built right next to it."
"A sunflower field!?"
"Wait a minute, may I ask what your relationship is with Kazami Yuuka?"
Before Marisa could react.
With disbelief in her pink eyes, Reimu Hakurei suddenly stood up. "Are you kidding me? Our house is right next to a sunflower field! You know, the area around the sunflower field is a restricted zone."
