Opening the Anime World with FGO Methods

"Boss, morning..." Akame didn't pay attention to the other person's words, and greeted her naturally as always.

"Morning... Mine and Lubbock are going to the Imperial Capital to scout for information today, don't forget to remind them."

The woman Akame called Boss didn't continue teasing her, but brought up the main topic.

"Going to the Imperial Capital..." Akame muttered to herself, her hands involuntarily covering her chest.

What's going on? There's an inexplicable flutter in my heart... Going to the Imperial Capital?

"What's wrong? Akame?" The woman called Boss frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

"Nothing? It's just... do you need me to go to the Imperial Capital, Boss?"

Akame's sudden question surprised the woman in front of her.

"Akame, is there anything you're worried about in the Imperial Capital?"

Akame's initiative to say she wanted to go to the Imperial Capital was a surprise. After all, Akame should know there's a warrant out for her in the Imperial Capital. Running to the Imperial Capital would be dangerous. Mine and Lubbock don't have warrants, so it's not a problem for them. Besides, Akame has almost no enthusiasm for anything other than missions. Of course, her sister's affairs are one thing, but I don't know much about the others.

That's why the woman called Boss was surprised that Akame suddenly offered to go to the Imperial Capital.

This was indeed a very rare occurrence.

Because she was a little concerned, the woman Akame called Boss asked.

"Actually, I'm not quite sure. I just feel like there's something in the Imperial Capital that I care about... or... someone..."

The more she spoke, the more tangled Akame's tone became. In short, it was a strange feeling that she didn't understand.

"In short, I think I have to go to the Imperial Capital..."

As she said this, Akame's eyes, which were usually without any ripples, looked at the woman in front of her.

The woman called Boss couldn't help but press her chin, a trace of contemplation flashing in her eyes.

Akame's intuition has always been accurate. If she says there's someone or something in the Imperial Capital that she cares about, there might really be something there.

After thinking about it, the woman called Boss nodded and made a decision.

"Alright, Akame, this time you and Mine can go to the Imperial Capital, but be careful not to expose yourselves."

Out of concern for Akame, the woman kept urging her, the worry in her eyes warming Akame's heart.

"I understand, Boss."

Akame nodded, a rare smile appearing on her face.

After that, Akame slowly walked towards the room of the girl named Mine. Judging from Boss's tone, she must have gotten up late today. For Boss to say the word "late," Mine must already be awake.

After Akame left, another girl walked into the hall. She had long, flowing purple hair, purple eyes, wore a light purple qipao-style dress, and had purple-rimmed glasses.

The girl was holding several books in her hands, apparently coming in to read.

"It's Sheele..." Boss raised her head slightly, a smile appearing on her lips.

"Boss, was that Akame just now?" Sheele asked with a hint of doubt on her face.

"Yes, I asked Akame and Mine to go to the Imperial Capital today." Boss said calmly.

Sheele nodded gently, as if she didn't realize anything, which made Boss chuckle softly.

If it were anyone else, they would have noticed something was wrong. There's still a warrant out for Akame in the Imperial Capital, so how could I let Akame and Mine go to the Imperial Capital? But given Sheele's absentmindedness, she probably didn't think of that.

Koizumi felt a terrible pain in his head, a piercing pain that made him groan.

"Ah—"

Koizumi woke up slowly, clutching his head, then looked around blankly.

Where is this?

A very familiar shop and—a very familiar armpit-revealing shrine maiden...

But come to think of it, how did I get here? I wasn't... wait, did I forget something?

"Reimu?" Koizumi couldn't help but call out the other person's name.

Reimu turned her head slightly, her expressionless face making Koizumi feel uneasy.

In the next moment, a silent atmosphere filled the surroundings, which made Koizumi swallow subconsciously.

A bad feeling is spreading in my heart... Koizumi thought to himself.

Sure enough, as Koizumi expected, Reimu came in front of Koizumi in the blink of an eye.

And in the next moment, Reimu unhesitatingly kicked Koizumi in the chest.

"You bastard who made me lose money, go to hell ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

Chapter 25: The Money Was Stolen!

"You bastard who made me lose money, go to hell ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

Reimu kicked Koizumi directly in the chest. Immediately, Koizumi felt an unusually terrible blow to his chest. The feeling of Blood Essence surging made Koizumi's cheeks flush red.

If Reimu kicked him a few more times, Koizumi thought he could go directly to meet God.

Koizumi quickly rolled away to avoid the attack, and quickly stood up.

"What 'paying for damages'? I don't remember any of that. And could you at least explain things before kicking me!"

Koizumi said, annoyed. He'd just woken up with a headache, and then got kicked over. Even a clay figure has some temper.

Speaking of which, isn't Reimu's temper a little too volatile?

No, it's only when money is involved that she gets this worked up.

"Master..." At that moment, Hata no Kokoro suddenly appeared behind Koizumi, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Hata no Kokoro?" Koizumi was slightly taken aback, his right hand still on his head.

He couldn't help it; his head hurt too much. But come to think of it, why does my head hurt so much?

"Mr. Koizumi, have you forgotten that you drank so much at another shop last night, and didn't pay? You dared to dine and dash without a single penny on you. You're really something..."

Seryu's resentful voice rang out beside Koizumi, startling him.

Wait! Drinking! Dining and dashing!

Koizumi finally remembered. He'd accidentally wandered into the Slums while strolling around, and then met a beautiful woman, Leone, I think her name was. Then that woman took me out drinking, and I got drunk.

No wonder my head hurts so much... Koizumi couldn't help but rub his forehead again, a look of distress on his face.

I should have known better than to drink so much. This headache is my own fault.

Hold on... I remember I had money with me, and Reimu gave it to me with a troubled look on her face.

"Hey! Where did your money go? I remember giving you money, didn't I?"

Reimu also thought of this question, her eyes narrowed as she looked at Koizumi, her face full of displeasure.

He didn't use all the money I gave him in one go, did he? That's money I worked so hard to save!

"That's not right. I was thinking about things the whole way, and I didn't use any money before drinking..."

Koizumi also looked confused. How could I have used money without knowing it? Unless someone else used the money?

Don't be ridiculous. If I had money on me, and I didn't use it, then who...? Wait, do I even have money on me?

Koizumi seemed to realize something serious. The face of that blonde woman with the hearty smile flashed through his mind. Could it be... that the blonde woman wanted to get me drunk and then...?

But that seems to be the only possibility... Koizumi's expression wasn't very good.

"Could it be that Mr. Koizumi had his money stolen? Well, I didn't think Mr. Koizumi was the type to dine and dash, so a thief must have stolen his money..."

Seryu looked at Koizumi with a "I've seen through everything" expression, nodding as she spoke.

But she didn't seem to notice Reimu's darkening face. Her hard-earned money had been stolen.

Reimu felt very unhappy about this. But... the money was already given to Koizumi, so it shouldn't be hers anymore. Although she still felt a little heartache, it would be too much trouble to get the money back. That's the only way to avoid trouble.

Yes, that's right, Reimu thought to herself, very much in agreement.

Koizumi looked at Reimu strangely. What's going on? She had a dark look on her face just now, how did she recover so quickly?

Koizumi didn't understand at all, but it was good that she wasn't angry.

"By the way—" Suddenly, Koizumi seemed to remember something, and quickly looked at Reimu and the others, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. "How did I get back? And what's this about paying for damages that you mentioned earlier?"

"Isn't that what we should be asking you!" Reimu got angry as soon as this matter was brought up.

"Last night, Miss Reimu and I saw that Master hadn't returned, so we went to look for Master!"

Hata no Kokoro said calmly, her tone very even.

Seryu was initially curious about Hata no Kokoro's address to Koizumi, but she quickly got used to it.

"Then you inexplicably used a Command Seal to summon me and Hata no Kokoro over. Due to the spatial transfer, Hata no Kokoro and I accidentally smashed the tables and chairs in the other shop, which resulted in me having to pay a lot of money to them!"

"I'm saying, is there something wrong with your head? You can use Command Seals even when you're asleep!"

Koizumi was slightly stunned and quickly looked at the hand where the Command Seals were engraved, but strangely, there were still three Command Seals on his hand.

Command Seal? What's that? Seryu looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression, but because everyone has their own secrets, Seryu didn't ask too much. Perhaps this was something unique to their hometown. But that spatial transfer thing was a little concerning. After all, shouldn't only Teigu be able to do something like spatial transfer?

Thinking this in her heart, Seryu looked at Koizumi and the others with a curious expression.

There are a total of forty-eight Teigu, and many of them have been scattered around for various reasons. It's not strange that Koizumi's hometown has one such Teigu, Seryu thought.

"What's even more hateful is that you were still throwing up in your sleep, you bastard. Hata no Kokoro and I spent the whole night cleaning up. Are you even going to let people sleep?!"

Honestly, Reimu was about to be driven crazy by Koizumi this night. If she could, she wouldn't want to go through this again even if she was beaten to death.

Although as a servant, she doesn't need to rest at all, but that's not a reason for this bastard to torment her like this!

"That's not right, I still have three Command Seals on my hand?"

Koizumi frowned slightly and looked at the two of them.

"Are you an idiot? Don't forget that one Command Seal recovers every day!"

Reimu rolled her eyes at Koizumi and said unhappily.

Koizumi looked at her with an embarrassed expression. That's right, he had forgotten about that.

Koizumi understood why Reimu was so upset, and could only apologize.

"I'm sorry, Reimu, Hata no Kokoro... I was inexplicably dragged off to drink by some guy."

Looking back, I should have been wary when he asked me out for a drink. After all, this is still an unfamiliar environment, and it's ridiculous that I wasn't cautious when a person I just met asked me out for a drink.

A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. I'd better be more careful next time.

"A guy? Who is it? Mr. Koizumi, this is a theft case, you must take it to heart. In the future, Mr. Koizumi, you'd better bring Miss Reimu or Miss Hata no Kokoro with you when you go out. Otherwise, if something like today happens again, it will cause a lot of trouble for Miss Reimu and Miss Hata no Kokoro!" Seryu said with a serious face.

"Yeah, yeah..." While responding so perfunctorily, Koizumi looked at the two with a speechless expression.

Speaking of which, which bunch of bastards rejected my invitation to go out together... If they hadn't refused, would my things have been stolen? Thinking this, Koizumi looked at a certain two people with a speechless expression.

Reimu's body stiffened instantly, and then she turned her head away with an embarrassed expression.

Hata no Kokoro also put on the [Ape] mask and turned her head away at the same time.

Okay, after all is said and done, it seems that it is indeed their fault.

Chapter 26: Gathering Information (Part 1)

"Akame is really careful..." In the Imperial Capital, a light pink dress-wearing girl with long pink pigtails and pink eyes muttered to herself with a helpless expression.

From the words "Akame" that came out of her mouth, it was obvious that the other person was the girl previously called Mine.

A look of helplessness appeared on Mine's face as she scanned the surrounding environment.

Actually, what made Mine feel most helpless was the partner she came out with this time...

Thinking of this, Mine glanced at Leone beside her, and a wave of helplessness washed over her heart.

Why did it have to be Leone as my partner? Lubbock is already annoying enough, and now it's Leone again. Couldn't Akame have asked someone more reliable? But then again, apart from Akame and those with wanted posters in the Imperial Capital, it seems there aren't any more reliable people.

Moreover, Mine didn't seem to realize that she herself was also unreliable to some extent.

"It's normal for Akame not to come. After all, the Imperial Capital is heavily guarded. Even if Akame hides her identity, it's hard not to be noticed once she arrives in the Imperial Capital," Leone responded calmly.

"Besides, little Mine, don't think I don't know that you come to the Imperial Capital every time to buy pretty clothes?"

Saying this, Leone grabbed Mine's shoulder and showed a teasing smile on her face.
