Opening the Anime World in the Style of FGO

Like a phantom, Hata no Kokoro appeared beside Koizumi and supported him. Koizumi's crimson eyes had completely returned to their original black, and Hata no Kokoro could clearly hear Koizumi's breathing.

It was obvious that Koizumi's previous attack had consumed too much energy, but this was normal, as it was a Noble Phantasm.

"Are you alright, Master...?" Hata no Kokoro's eyes flickered with worry, but she wasn't wearing a mask on her face.

Hata no Kokoro was expressing her emotions in her own way, which was the change Koizumi wanted to see.

Although Koizumi didn't say it, Hata no Kokoro seemed to have noticed that Koizumi didn't want her to always express her emotions through masks.

"I'm fine, but I succeeded. I can gradually master the power of the mistress, but..."

But there were still some things he couldn't control. When he used the Noble Phantasm earlier, the power went a little berserk.

Moreover, the essence of the Vampire was constantly stimulating Koizumi himself, giving him a feeling that he wasn't himself at all.

But this was normal, after all, he was a Vampire...

And Koizumi believed that as long as he continued to use this power, he would one day be able to fully master it.

That way, when he acted with the mistress in the future, he could help her.

Just thinking about this made Koizumi feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

"Master." Hata no Kokoro's voice pulled Koizumi's consciousness back, and Koizumi realized that Hata no Kokoro was still by his side.

Koizumi took a deep breath, his gaze focused on Hata no Kokoro, his eyes flashing with inquiry.

"Hata no Kokoro, can you help me train?"

Next, Koizumi didn't want to waste time searching for Danger Beasts. Fighting with Hata no Kokoro was the best way to experience his own growth, and as his opponent, Hata no Kokoro could better feel his power and give him advice.

Moreover, it was almost evening now. This was the second day he had come to this Singularity, and Koizumi didn't want to waste any time, after all, he still had to correct the Singularity later.

Hearing this, Hata no Kokoro nodded silently, and at the same time, a surge of magic power emerged from her hands, which then transformed into a Guan Dao.

Koizumi, on the other hand, smoothly conjured Gungnir, the tip of the spear pointing directly at Hata no Kokoro.

Chapter 38: Training (Part 2)

The pink spear was constantly waving, its cold light piercing. Even if it might not be Odin's divine spear, its power was real. Each swing shook the space, and the crimson spiritual energy began to become scorching hot, accompanied by the splashing of blood from Koizumi's body.

Koizumi didn't hold back. The battle in front of him couldn't be called training.

Because Koizumi hardly cared whether he would be injured or how heavy his hands would be, but attacked desperately.

It was clearly just training, clearly he didn't need to be so crazy, but Koizumi was like this.

Due to the Vampire's powerful vitality, Koizumi's injuries were healing quickly. Not only that, the sky had already begun to darken, and as if sensing the approach of night, the Vampire's blood in Koizumi's body was beginning to boil.

"Master, you're pushing yourself too hard..." Hata no Kokoro's attack didn't weaken at all. She didn't want to injure Koizumi, but unfortunately, Koizumi insisted that Hata no Kokoro treat him like a real opponent.

The fact that Hata no Kokoro hadn't accidentally killed Koizumi yet was already her holding back.

If Hata no Kokoro didn't know that her Master was a very serious person, she would have thought that her Master had masochistic tendencies, otherwise he wouldn't have continued to fight her even after suffering so many injuries.

But Hata no Kokoro also admired Koizumi in her heart, because ordinary people would have given up long ago after suffering so many injuries, but her Master was still persevering, constantly surpassing himself, and she could feel the huge changes in her Master.

For example, he was becoming more and more familiar with the control of power, and he was getting better and better at grasping the timing of using moves. Anyway, he was improving rapidly, and he was able to reach this point in less than half a day, which was worthy of praise.

"I have to push myself!" Koizumi's spear-wielding speed continued to increase, as if he was sprinting towards his limit.

The blood-colored spiritual energy shook the atmosphere, tearing apart the surrounding earth. Every collision between Koizumi and Hata no Kokoro was enough to produce a violent impact, and the shockwaves rolled, spreading out in all directions with Koizumi and Hata no Kokoro as the center.

As Koizumi said, he had to push himself, because Koizumi knew one thing, he was just an ordinary person with no power. Long-lived species like Remilia didn't need to worry about the problem of time because of their long lifespans, but Koizumi was different now. First of all, he was just a human, and compared to them and his current enemies, he already had a major disadvantage in terms of physique, plus he didn't have enough time now.

Now he had to solve the Singularities, but he often had to face battles in the Singularities, and the strength of the enemies far exceeded his imagination. This was no longer a so-called battle with enemies in the Singularities to grow. Even if he wanted to choose enemies to help him grow, he would have to choose one that was about the same level as him or just a little stronger. But it was obvious that he couldn't deal with Saber, Archer, Remilia's sister Flandre, or even Seryu's Teigu, Beast Transformation: Hekatonkheires.

If he changed the situation in the Imperial Capital a little, he would be dead if he fought Koro while Reimu and Hata no Kokoro fought Ouka and the others, because the giant Koro was not something he could deal with at all.

The power he had unleashed at that time was only for a moment, and a momentary burst was impossible to kill Koro.

Knowing this, Koizumi had to push himself, no matter what. Since the Vampire's physique allowed him to not die, then he would train himself to death. Besides, he wasn't unaware of his body's limits. Since he hadn't reached his limit yet, then he would continue to train. As long as his recovery ability was still working, then he didn't have to worry about the injuries on his body.

Like a phantom, Koizumi appeared on Hata no Kokoro's left side, wanting to use speed to win.

But Hata no Kokoro's speed wasn't slow either, and the Guan Dao in her hand collided with Gungnir.

Koizumi stomped his back foot and began to mobilize the energy in his entire body. The sky had already darkened, and the Vampire's blood was boiling in Koizumi's body. Night—was the Vampire's stage.

A pair of blood-red eyes glowed with an ominous light, and the Vampire's consciousness impacted Koizumi's brain.

Koizumi had indeed controlled Remilia's power, but that was only during the day. During the day, the Vampire's power hadn't reached its peak. Affected by the sun, even if Koizumi controlled it, it was only part of the Vampire's power.

Now that it was night, that was the power that a Vampire should have. The bloodthirsty consciousness attempted to seize Koizumi's body, and the arrogance unique to Vampires emanated from Koizumi, a majesty that only the Queen of the Night possessed.

Remilia did indeed possess this majesty. The reason why her majesty was lost was probably because she had too many cute points. Her cute points covered up all her majesty, and if Remilia became much more cold and ruthless, she might be more majestic than she is now. But as a good sister, as an excellent mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia couldn't be cold and ruthless, so it was destined that her majestic side wouldn't be revealed often.

Sensing the abnormality in Koizumi, Hata no Kokoro frowned, and then put on the Hannya mask.

That was the emotion called anger.

"A consciousness that doesn't belong to Master! Vampire! Leave Master's body!"

At this moment, Hata no Kokoro's power began to be fully released. At the same time, the Vampire noticed that the power it used to defend itself was beginning to decrease. Was it caused by the other party's power?

A-rank Emotion Contagion, this was Hata no Kokoro's possessed skill, which could exert different abilities depending on the emotion.

And now Hata no Kokoro was feeling angry because her Master's consciousness was still being invaded by the Vampire!

Next moment, Hata no Kokoro's Guan Dao slashed furiously towards the [Vampire] before her.

The Guan Dao tore through space, seemingly compressing the surrounding air, generating a violent sonic boom as it was swung, making the [Vampire] realize that her strength was far greater than before.

Almost simultaneously—

"How embarrassing, to be controlled by a [Vampire]'s consciousness. As my servant, he's still not qualified enough." Watching the scene within the Gap, Remilia revealed a mocking smile, her red lips parting slightly.

"Don't underestimate our Master, little bat. And besides... do you really think he's being controlled by the [Vampire]? Watch closely!" Yakumo Yukari smiled faintly, glancing at Remilia.

Remilia crossed her arms, turning away as if she had no interest.

Slowly, Remilia's legs began to dissipate into photons, all the way up to her head...

"Leaving already? How boring..." Yakumo Yukari pouted.

Afterward, Yakumo Yukari turned her gaze towards the Gap, and the scene within did not exceed her expectations.

Koizumi was directly split in two by Hata no Kokoro's blade, his body exploding into countless small, blood-colored bats with a bang.

The swarm of blood-colored bats flew close to the ground, gathering together, and in the next moment, they coalesced into a figure.

Koizumi clutched his head, panting slightly, his pair of blood-red eyes returning to their original state.

Chapter 39: Invitation

"Master!" Hata no Kokoro ran to Koizumi's side, gently helping him up. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine... should I say, as expected of a [Vampire]?" Koizumi couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

Should he say that he underestimated the power of the [Vampire]? During the battle with Hata no Kokoro earlier, he found himself increasingly unable to control his consciousness, even regarding Hata no Kokoro as an object that had to be killed. If his control over his power hadn't greatly improved, allowing him to maintain control during the day, he might have made a mistake.

Perhaps Hata no Kokoro wouldn't think much of it, but Koizumi would never forgive himself.

Hata no Kokoro was his comrade, his family, how could he hurt her?

It seemed he needed to be more careful during training at night. The [Vampire]'s power reached its peak at night, and he couldn't control this peak state. This only meant that he wasn't mature enough.

"Looks like I still need to train more," Koizumi sighed, speaking slowly.

"But... I must stay by Master's side, otherwise, there will be no one to suppress Master's power if it goes berserk."

Hata no Kokoro was also very clear about this. If no one accompanied Koizumi, there would be a big problem if his power went berserk and couldn't be suppressed. An even worse possibility was that Master would be increasingly eroded by the [Vampire]'s consciousness, eventually turning completely into a bloodthirsty and violent [Vampire], and then she and the others would have to eliminate Master.

Hata no Kokoro didn't want this terrible possibility to happen under any circumstances.

Although she had only spent less than three days with her Master, the relationship between them could already be described as friendship, well... although Hata no Kokoro might not know what friendship meant.

"Another day has passed, but today hasn't been without its gains."

Koizumi's lips revealed a wry smile, so many things had happened in one day.

First, he was kicked out of the Imperial Capital in the morning, then he searched for a base outside, and finally, he spent an afternoon training. Koizumi realized for the first time that a day could be so long. People always said that time was like water in a sponge, there would always be some if you squeezed it, and now it seemed that this was true.

He didn't expect so many things to happen in one day, and Koizumi felt a burst of disbelief in his heart.

At the same time, Leone, who was searching for Koizumi and the other two, had found some traces.

Although Koizumi and the other two were wanted criminals to the generals of the Imperial Capital, General Bude would not leave the Imperial Capital unless absolutely necessary, because he was the guardian deity of the Imperial Capital. The empire had two generals, Esdeath and Budou, who were ranked as the top in the empire. Esdeath fought externally, while Budou had Esdeath outside, so Budou had always guarded the Imperial Capital and would never leave easily unless absolutely necessary.

If he left the Imperial Capital just to chase these three wanted criminals, it would be too much of a loss if it was a diversion tactic. Moreover, the shrine maiden who could block his moves earlier was not simple, and it might take a lot of effort to take her down, so Budou did not choose to chase after them.

It was precisely because of this that [Night Raid] was given the opportunity to search.

Although this place was not far from the Imperial Capital, as long as they did not enter the Imperial Capital, even Akame did not have to worry about the wanted notice.

In addition, it was already late, and no one would choose to enter the Imperial Capital so late.

At the same time, Leone, who had already used her Teigu, Beast Transformation: Hekatonkheires, smelled some unusual scents. It was the scent of the shrine maiden from before, but the scent of the silly boy she had tricked and the scent of the girl who liked to wear a mask were very faint, and Leone hardly smelled them.

"It seems that the shrine maiden is nearby, but it seems that she is alone. Could it be that she got separated from those two?"

Leone frowned, thinking in her heart. If it was just the shrine maiden alone, she could use the excuse of helping her find her friends to bring her to [Night Raid].

Thinking of this, Leone headed towards the place where she smelled the scent.

At the same time, Reimu, who was lying on the grass feeling very depressed, suddenly opened her eyes and quickly sat up.

In her senses, someone was approaching here, and the speed was very fast.

She didn't feel any hostility or killing intent, but there was no doubt that they were coming towards her.

Slowly, Reimu stood up, the purification rod had already appeared in Reimu's hand at some point.

At the same time, an impatient expression appeared on Reimu's face. There was no way, Reimu, who had always liked leisure, could like being disturbed during her rare peaceful days. Since she didn't want her peace to be disturbed, it was normal for her to show an impatient emotion.

"Hmph!" Reimu snorted coldly, throwing out countless talismans without hesitation.

The talismans went towards the dark place in front of her. Because the sky was dark, and this area was full of trees, it was a place where the sun could not shine in the first place. At night, the thin moonlight was difficult to shine in. To be on the safe side, Reimu naturally launched an attack first. It would be bad if she was taken by surprise.

As for whether it was Koizumi, it definitely wasn't. With the existence of the contract, Reimu could sense Koizumi's aura.

"Hey, hey, hey! Isn't it unreasonable to attack directly without saying a word!!!!!!"

Leone was speechless for a moment, dodging like a beast. Although the energy of the talismans swept over Leone, with the recovery ability that Leone's Teigu gave her, she would be able to recover quickly.

Leone dodged and then revealed her figure.

"You are?" A trace of doubt flashed in Reimu's eyes. She seemed to have seen this person before.

The person Reimu had been observing watching her shop in the Imperial Capital wasn't just someone looking for a show, it seemed. The other party was practically turning into a beast.

"Wait, don't attack! I'm not here to capture you. I'm an assassin from Night Raid, and I've come to ask you to join us." Leone quickly stated the main point.

She was truly afraid that if she was even a second too slow, the other party would suddenly unleash those light orbs and bombard her.

Judging from how battered that biological Teigu was after tanking the attacks, their power was considerable.

Leone didn't want to experience that kind of taste, even if her recovery ability was strong; she wasn't that thick-skinned.

"Huh?" Reimu's lips twitched violently. So she was just here to invite her to join an assassin organization.

"Not interested. You can leave!"

Chapter 40: Reimu Sells Herself Out (Part 1)

"Not interested. You can leave!"

Reimu waved her hand, a hint of helplessness appearing on her face. She hated trouble the most, so how could she possibly get involved with some assassin organization? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"Uh..."

Leone apparently hadn't expected the other party to refuse so quickly, and was stunned for a moment.

However, Leone didn't give up quickly and continued to try to persuade Hakurei Reimu.

"Speaking of which, aren't there two other people with you? Where are they? If you can't find them, Night Raid can help!" Leone said with a warm, older sister-like smile.

Reimu glanced at a certain conspicuously protruding part of the other party's anatomy, and a vein throbbed on her forehead.

If she was just unwilling to join because she hated trouble at first, now she didn't want to join because she was annoyed. As for the reason... Heh... Did she even need to say it?

One could tell why Reimu was unhappy from the strange look in her eyes.

Indeed, the war of the breasts could never be resolved.

Reimu looked at Leone with disdain. How could she not know what the other party was thinking?

She just wanted to use helping her find people as an excuse to pull her in. Did she think she was that stupid?
