Was I deceived? My master said they were deceiving themselves, so they probably were... but...

Recalling the first time I met Koizumi and the others, it didn't seem like a deliberately constructed facade at all.

And in all our meetings, Koizumi and the others never lied to me about anything except asking where I sold houses, right? Seryu is indeed twisted about justice, but that doesn't mean she has no thoughts. She's still the same sincere and enthusiastic little girl Koizumi first met, just with some warped views.

While Seryu's thoughts were in disarray, the other members of the Imperial Guard had already started to move.

Koizumi is an ordinary person. Although he used Remilia's power before, he hasn't mastered it yet.

So Koizumi can't stop them, but—

"Bang!"

A palm strike headed towards an Imperial Guard member, and unsurprisingly, the person was directly knocked away and fell to the ground.

Reimu and Hata no Kokoro stood in front of Koizumi, looking wary.

"This is my shop, let's see who dares to tear it down!"

Chapter 31 Teigu Koro

"This is my shop, let's see who dares to tear it down!"

Reimu stood in front of Koizumi, her purification rod pointed at Ouka, her eyes filled with intense vigilance.

Reimu is indeed afraid of causing trouble, but without a doubt, Reimu is definitely not the kind of timid person. Reimu is only afraid of causing trouble because she wants a leisurely life, but since trouble has come to her door, she doesn't need to admit defeat.

"Oh!?" Ouka looked at Reimu in amusement.

At first, he thought it was a boring house raid, but it seems more interesting than a normal one.

He prefers wolf-like women who struggle to docile lambs, as it adds some spice.

However, Reimu is not an ordinary wolf. If they really fight, Ouka will get a beating.

And Hata no Kokoro is no pushover either. Even if she is just a tsukumogami, she is still a servant.

"Then let me see what kind of ability a little girl has!" Saying this, Ouka waved to his subordinates behind him and slowly said, "Go get her!"

With that, all the Imperial Guard members went towards Reimu.

Reimu snorted coldly and waved her hands. Then, countless talismans flew out of her sleeves. The moment they touched the space around the Imperial Guard, countless golden lights that seemed to turn into ribbons flew out of the talismans, tightly wrapping around all the Guard members, making it impossible for them to break free.

"Amazing!" Even Seryu couldn't help but be stunned. She never thought Reimu was so powerful, actually binding all the Imperial Guard members at once.

"Looks like she really is related to those Peaceful Path Sect rebels."

Seeing this scene, Ouka had already determined that the other party was related to the Peaceful Path Sect. He didn't see Reimu use a Teigu, but to be able to use this kind of power without using a Teigu, she must be a Danger Beast hybrid.

The nobles of the Imperial Capital, including the generals, actually look down on mixed-race people, so naturally, the existence of Danger Beast hybrids is despised. It's simply another form of "those who are not of our race must have different hearts."

Due to the peculiarity of Reimu's moves, Ouka directly regarded Reimu as being in the same group as the Peaceful Path Sect leader.

Seeing this scene, Ouka's expression became sharp. At the same time, Ouka was also ordering his disciple Seryu.

"Seryu, your Teigu is not suitable for use here. Leave this shop first, I'll take care of them!"

Saying this, before Seryu could agree, Ouka drew the simple sword hanging from his waist and directly attacked Reimu.

Seryu was silent for a moment before gently nodding and walking outside the shop, but the worry in her eyes was obvious. Clearly, Seryu was very worried about Reimu's safety. Seryu knew how powerful her master was.

"This is troublesome, I should just deal with it quickly! Hata no Kokoro, protect Master!"

Saying this, Reimu rushed towards Ouka without hesitation.

Compared to Ouka, Reimu's speed was obviously faster. Although Ouka is a guy with real skills, he is definitely not Reimu's opponent if they really fight, because Reimu has experienced many battles.

Ouka's weapon is a simple sword, while Reimu is fighting the opponent with her bare hands, but even so, Reimu still has the upper hand. The Hakurei Shrine Maiden is not only good at aerial combat, but also has powerful physical skills.

Although Reimu is not the most skilled generation in physical skills, there is no doubt that Reimu as one of the Hakurei Shrine Maidens is still very good at physical skills, at least she will not be defeated so easily.

After only fighting Reimu for a moment, Ouka realized that the enemy in front of him was very difficult to deal with.

In the next moment, the attack speed in his hand became faster and faster, but Reimu's attitude was still so leisurely.

Reimu was clearly fighting with her bare hands, but she seemed very relaxed in the face of Ouka's attack.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Reimu's eyes. Her right hand caught Ouka's simple sword, and under Ouka's shocked expression, a beam of light burst out from Reimu's right hand, directly engulfing Ouka.

Bang!!!!!!

Ouka was directly blasted out of the shop by Reimu's beam of light, and even those Imperial Guard members who were bound were blasted out of the shop by this beam of light, leaving Seryu outside the shop and Leone, who was secretly watching this scene, stunned.

Is Miss Reimu so powerful? Seryu watched in a daze.

That shrine maiden defeated the Imperial Guard just like that? Leone was also stunned for a moment.

Slowly, Reimu walked out of the shop, pointing the exorcism rod in her hand at Ouka and the others.

"I already said, this is my shop. I just want to sell amulets and make money. Why do you guys who have nothing better to do like to ask for trouble so much? I really can't understand it!"

"Master!" Seryu quickly stepped forward to help Ouka up, and at the same time, a ferocious look appeared on Ouka's face.

The angry Ouka picked up the simple sword in his hand again, but due to the impact of Reimu's beam of light, the simple sword could no longer be used.

"Seryu, use your Teigu to kill them on the spot!"

Although Ouka was angry, he also understood that the other party was no ordinary person, so he immediately ordered Seryu to use her Teigu.

"But..." A hint of hesitation appeared on Seryu's face. The other party was her friend...

"Seryu!!" Ouka's gaze was fixed on Seryu before him. Suddenly, he felt as if he was losing control over her. This child, whom he had taken over from his old friend, had always been under his control, guided by so-called justice. But it seemed she was beginning to disobey him.

Seryu bit her lip, and after glancing at Reimu and the others, she roared.

"Koro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In an instant, the pet dog beside Seryu transformed into a giant monster and charged towards Reimu and the others without hesitation.

Reimu's pupils constricted, and she immediately flew into the sky, shooting countless talismans from her sleeves. The talismans exploded the moment they touched the giant Koro.

"Bang bang bang bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The giant Koro roared, and its target immediately focused on Hata no Kokoro and Koizumi, who had not flown up.

"Master! Be careful!"

The moment the giant Koro targeted Hata no Kokoro, many masks began to appear around her.

The next moment, Hata no Kokoro took out the lion mask and breathed fire at the giant Koro.

The giant Koro roared, seemingly not expecting the other party to breathe fire at it.

However, as long as its core was not hit, it would not die.

So the giant Koro seemed to intend to ignore the flames and go straight for Hata no Kokoro and Koizumi.

At this time, Ouka also realized that Reimu and Hata no Kokoro were protecting Koizumi, so—

"Everyone, capture that man!"

Chapter 32: Fierce Battle

The giant Koro went towards Hata no Kokoro, while the Imperial Guard members approached Koizumi one by one.

Hata no Kokoro was held back for a moment, so she couldn't come to Koizumi's aid.

But Reimu snorted coldly and continued to attack the giant Koro, completely ignoring the actions of the Imperial Guard members.

Other Gensokyo people didn't know the specifics of Koizumi's situation. Reimu and Yakumo Yukari knew, as well as the other Sages who established Gensokyo. They knew about Koizumi. Why Koizumi could summon the existence of Gensokyo. Gensokyo itself was a forgotten existence by the outside world, so Gensokyo was not recorded on the Throne of Heroes.

Someone who could summon Gensokyo must have a [connection] with Gensokyo.

Yakumo Yukari herself had a close relationship with the two Counter Forces and was connected to the Root. It was easy for her to do a little trick to allow the people of Gensokyo to descend as Servants, but to summon a Gensokyo Servant, the summoner must be related to Gensokyo or use a Relic related to Gensokyo.

But Koizumi didn't use a Relic, so the reason for summoning Gensokyo was Koizumi himself.

However, what Reimu knew was the special nature of Koizumi's contract with the people of Gensokyo. What Yakumo Yukari and the many Sages knew was more specific, such as Koizumi's connection with Gensokyo and why he had amnesia, etc.

Knowing the special nature of this contract was enough, so—

When Ouka charged towards Koizumi with a simple knife, Seryu's face changed. She wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything. What was going on? Hadn't she always insisted on justice? What her master was doing should be justice, but why was her heart so conflicted? There was always a voice telling her that this wasn't right?

If Reimu and Koizumi knew what Seryu was thinking now, they would definitely say that this girl hadn't been twisted that badly yet.

If she had truly reached the point of complete blind obedience, Seryu wouldn't have such feelings in her heart.

Putting Seryu aside, Leone saw Ouka and the others besieging Koizumi and cursed inwardly.

These guys only know how to bully people who are defenseless...

As someone who had drunk with Koizumi and tested him, Leone was sure that Koizumi was someone without any strength, far inferior to Reimu and Hata no Kokoro. If he was really beaten by these Imperial Guard members, he would probably die miserably.

Strange? Why isn't that shrine maiden helping? Leone really couldn't understand this.

It was obvious that Reimu had seen Koizumi's predicament just now, but why wasn't she helping?

But then again, Reimu could actually fly, which really shocked Leone. At the same time, she began to believe that this Reimu was a Dangerous Species hybrid. Only this kind of forbidden child would have this ability.

Now, Leone was hesitating whether to go and help.

If she went to help, then she would undoubtedly be exposed and put on the wanted list. But this way, she could gain the favor of Reimu and the others, and it would be much easier to persuade them to join Night Raid.

But if she failed, then even she might be caught.

It wasn't that she was afraid of death, but before executing a mission, she had to consider the feasibility of the mission. Boss was like this. Before accepting a mission, she had to see if the mission was feasible. If everyone was so reckless, Night Raid would have been wiped out by the Imperial forces long ago.

So at this moment, Leone was struggling with this. Helping was okay, but she couldn't get herself caught.

This was the Imperial Capital, a place that seemed prosperous but was very corrupt. Of course, that's what they said, but it was also a place where elites gathered. The Empire's most elite unit, led by General Budo, was stationed in the Imperial Capital, and Budo, one of the Empire's strongest two generals, was also in the Imperial Capital at this moment.

So this place really wasn't a good place to cause trouble.

This was what Night Raid's assassin, Leone, was wary of.

The Biological Teigu Beast Transformation: Hekatonkheires, although it was the first time she had seen it, was very strong. If its core wasn't hit, this creature would continue to regenerate, making it an extremely troublesome Teigu.

Even she wasn't sure she could get any advantage from it.

Sure enough, seeing the giant Koro, which she had smashed countless times, constantly regenerating, Reimu was also a little annoyed. It was as annoying as those immortal youkai, like that phoenix. No matter how many times it was smashed, it could still revive. It was simply a rogue.

"This is so troublesome! I need to finish this quickly! Spirit Sign: Dream Seal: Scatter!!"

Countless spirit energy balls of different colors scattered and bombarded various parts of the giant Koro. Seeing this scene, Hata no Kokoro immediately chose to retreat to avoid being affected.

However, to help, Hata no Kokoro also offered her own strength.

"Wall of Lamentation!"

Mask after mask flew towards the giant Koro before them. Hata no Kokoro's technique involved scattering masks with offensive capabilities around the area, and when anyone with hostile intent approached, the masks would react and attack them.

There was no doubt that the giant Koro would be included as a target by these masks.

"BOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!"

Seryu was almost dumbfounded by the sight. Compared to Hata no Kokoro's techniques, Reimu's were far more dazzling.

Clearly, Reimu's strength had reached a point where Seryu couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality.

Recalling Reimu's greedy demeanor from before, was this really the Hakurei Shrine Maiden she knew?

Of course, Seryu was now even more worried about her Koro. If it was hit by such techniques, would Koro be alright?

It had to be admitted that Reimu's moral integrity was inversely proportional to her strength, otherwise Seryu wouldn't have such thoughts.

Similarly, Leone, seeing Reimu like this, had made up her mind. No matter what, she had to recruit this shrine maiden. It would be a waste not to recruit someone with such strength.

However, after this thought, Leone felt a wave of worry and turned her gaze towards the Imperial Palace.

Such a large commotion would surely have alerted the people inside the palace. If General Budo came later, it would be terrible.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Just then, before Reimu and the others could see the giant Koro after the smoke cleared, members of the Imperial Guard were collapsing on the ground, clutching their wounds with pained expressions.

Ouka was also clutching his bleeding arm, looking at Koizumi with a terrified expression.

Koizumi's pupils had turned blood red, and a pair of sharp fangs were exposed. He held a spear formed from pink light in his hand, looking just like he did when he fought Remilia.

Moreover, Koizumi's current appearance was very much like a vampire.

Chapter 33: Explanation

Taking a deep look at Koizumi's appearance, Reimu couldn't help but frown slightly. He had even changed his race.

"That vampire must have made a contract with Koizumi beforehand, but why hasn't she appeared? Is she asleep?"
