Opening the Anime World with the FGO Method

However, she had a great time, while Koizumi was incredibly frustrated, unable to even touch Esdeath's clothes from beginning to end.

This was practically the most miserable sparring session ever... Oh well, it's all to improve my strength, so I shouldn't complain.

But one thing is for sure, my strength has improved quite a bit. From initially being unable to even catch Esdeath's figure to finally being able to track her movements completely. The reason I couldn't even touch her clothes was because I couldn't keep up with her speed, and her defense was just too terrifying. That kind of exquisite skill is enough to make anyone despair just facing it, truly frightening!

Remilia's speed can definitely keep up with Esdeath, and Koizumi did indeed inherit Remilia's power, but that doesn't mean Koizumi can go head-to-head with Remilia. After all, inheriting power and being able to use it perfectly are two completely different things!

So, facing Esdeath, Koizumi simply can't defeat her, not even come close.

Even if Esdeath wasn't using her full strength, Koizumi's chances of victory wouldn't necessarily improve.

"Mr. Koizumi, are you alright? You've lost so much blood, your complexion looks terrible, so pale..."

Kurome stepped forward to support Koizumi with a worried expression. She was starting to regret bringing Koizumi here.

Although she doesn't know why Koizumi has such powerful strength, everyone has a few secrets, don't they?

Like herself, she didn't initially plan to tell Mr. Koizumi about being a reject from the Imperial Assassination Squad. If Mr. Koizumi hadn't suddenly asked, they wouldn't have said anything. And they hadn't asked Mr. Koizumi about his powers, so naturally, Mr. Koizumi didn't need to say anything either.

Kurome's focus now is on the fact that she brought Koizumi here, and as a result, Esdeath beat him up so badly.

The blood all over the training ground and Koizumi's pale face are enough to show that Koizumi's body is in bad shape right now.

"It's nothing... my complexion just looks bad, don't worry... Vampires aren't good for anything, but their vitality is incredibly tenacious. If it were a normal person, even if they didn't die, they'd have severe anemia... Come to think of it, vampires probably don't get anemia, do they?" Koizumi muttered to himself as he spoke, his brow furrowing slightly.

They shouldn't get anemia, right...? I've never heard of vampires suffering from anemia!

Remi hasn't mentioned ever experiencing anemia... Koizumi thought to himself.

But then again, does Kurome even know what a vampire is? She probably doesn't understand what I'm saying.

Thinking this, Koizumi glanced at Kurome beside him. As expected, Kurome still had a blank look on her face. Clearly, Kurome didn't understand what Koizumi was saying. What is a vampire? There aren't any vampires in this world. But at least she knows that vampires are creatures that drink human blood, which made Kurome feel a little apprehensive.

Mr. Koizumi wouldn't drink my blood, would he? Kurome couldn't help but feel a little fear.

Sensing the fear in Kurome's heart, Koizumi couldn't help but smile wryly. Blood-sucking creatures will indeed inspire fear.

I can't help it, no one wants to be sucked dry out of nowhere, right? To be honest, Koizumi is also very resistant to sucking blood and being sucked dry.

However, if Lady Remilia wants to drink his blood, Koizumi would definitely not refuse.

For Reimu and the others, the only thing Koizumi can do is tolerate their personalities. Even if it affects important matters, Koizumi will try his best to satisfy them. After all, he's lucky to have met them, and Koizumi already considers them his family.

"Don't worry, I won't drink your blood. I'm actually very resistant to blood-sucking."

Koizumi smiled faintly, and his words immediately relieved Kurome.

It's good that he won't drink my blood. It would be troubling to have a friend who drinks my blood.

No... this isn't just troubling, it would be terrible if I were accidentally sucked dry.

Kurome has heard of a Teigu that sucks blood, and you can accidentally be sucked dry.

"But Mr. Koizumi is really strong, to actually be able to fight General Esdeath to that extent!"

Gin's eyes sparkled with shock. To be honest, after today, she wouldn't underestimate Koizumi.

Although, Gin has never underestimated Koizumi. Being able to make that kind of cuisine is already amazing in a way.

It's just that now Gin and the others have a clearer understanding of Koizumi's strength, he's also that terrifying in terms of combat power!

To this, Koizumi just smiled slightly. Next, he's going to go to his room to rest. Dimly, Koizumi seemed to have touched two other forces during the battle just now, the powers of Archer Hakurei Reimu and Lancer Hata no Kokoro. As for Yukari's power, he still can't sense it, perhaps Yukari's power is at a deeper level that Koizumi simply can't touch.

Ruler Yakumo Yukari's power is actually very useful. Just the Gap is enough for Koizumi to observe this entire world, maybe he can catch the distorted shadow, and then he can quickly resolve the Singularities.

Of course, Koizumi doesn't know that Yakumo Yukari and Reimu said that even she can't use the Gap to observe the center of the distortion. This Singularities is like a double world, and Yukari can't observe the other world.

The next moment, Koizumi returned to his room to rest.

I have to admit, Esdeath's mansion is really too big, with so many rooms. I really don't know why Esdeath needs such a big mansion. Is it fun?

As expected, we simply don't understand the lives of the rich!

Chapter 58: Unsuppressable Pain

The pain was unsuppressable, spreading throughout his body, as if all the bones in his body had been shattered.

His face showed a twisted expression, and his arms were wrapped around himself, Koizumi's body seemed to be curled up in a corner.

It was as if the pain from fighting Esdeath had completely erupted at this moment.

Koizumi's body trembled slightly, and he was in this state as soon as he fell asleep.

That unsuppressable pain permeated his entire body, and it had been like this since Koizumi fell asleep.

Koizumi was originally planning to... Hmm? What was I planning to do? It's like I suddenly forgot something.

What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel like I've forgotten something? Koizumi covered his head.

This was just a subconscious action, not because of a sharp pain in his head, but just a feeling that he had forgotten something.

At the same time, the pain in his body was beginning to subside, as if it was being suppressed by something.

Slowly, he opened his eyes, and Reimu's impatient but slightly worried expression came into view.

Seeing that Koizumi had finally woken up, Reimu immediately kicked Koizumi unceremoniously.

"You bastard, can't you just sleep properly! You don't even give me a moment of peace all night!"

Koizumi gritted his teeth and slowly stood up. Compared to the pain in his body, Reimu's kick was completely negligible.

Honestly, Koizumi didn't know what was going on, why he suddenly felt such intense pain all over his body.

Moreover, this pain was all-encompassing, making it unbearable for a moment, which was why he reacted like that.

"Master... are you alright?" Hata no Kokoro silently walked to Koizumi's side and asked softly.

Hata no Kokoro wore the mask of [Worry] on her face, clearly concerned about Koizumi's inexplicable groans.

After all, the relationship between Hata no Kokoro and Koizumi was no longer like it was when she was first summoned.

It started with an inexplicable fondness, but on that basis, Koizumi's comfort of Hata no Kokoro also played a significant role.

As a Tsukumogami who governs emotions, Hata no Kokoro is clumsy in expressing emotions, but also very direct.

Everything is expressed on the mask, which is her clumsiness, but also her directness.

In response to Hata no Kokoro's inquiry, Koizumi showed a very forced smile on his distorted face.

There was no way around it, he had to endure the pain while also preventing his friend from worrying. Koizumi was already very strong.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Although I don't know where this pain came from, I was just resting..."

Koizumi's eyes flickered with deep doubt, his arms wrapped around himself, his body trembling slightly. However, compared to the initial trembling, Koizumi had eased up a lot now, the pain not as intense as it was in his sleep.

Moreover, Koizumi's body was covered with talismans. After glancing at Reimu, Koizumi could roughly guess that she was the one behind it. The pain suddenly subsided probably because of the talismans Reimu had put on him.

Although Reimu's item creation level isn't high, as the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, she can basically create a series of fully functional talismans, which can be very useful in many situations.

Gradually, as time passed, the pain in Koizumi's body had subsided considerably.

This was thanks to the effect of these talismans, otherwise, the pain wouldn't have subsided so quickly.

"You, could it be that you have some bad habits when you sleep, which is why this happened?"

Reimu looked at Koizumi in front of her speechlessly and said slowly.

After all, Koizumi always had problems when he was sleeping. The first time was when he was drinking at the inn, and he got drunk and fell asleep, inexplicably using a Command Seal to summon her and Hata no Kokoro. The second time was also when he was sleeping, and he inexplicably had severe physical pain. But according to Reimu's observation, Koizumi had no injuries at all.

This was really strange... Reimu was a little concerned, but didn't think too much about it.

If that one in Gensokyo was summoned, Reimu might suspect a certain being. In Gensokyo, there are all kinds of beings, like Reimu, a Hakurei Shrine Maiden, and Hata no Kokoro, a Tsukumogami, and Yakumo Yukari, a Gap Youkai representing a race, and Remilia, a Vampire. There are even gods, demons... and so on that haven't been summoned yet. In the future, Koizumi will encounter many, many encounters.

It's even possible that beings related to the Moon will be summoned.

And in Gensokyo, there is such a special being who basically doesn't appear in reality.

Reimu had contact with them in the past. Although they have a mocking face, they are actually very gentle and caring, so basically, Reimu just thought about it and directly ruled them out.

Putting aside that they haven't been summoned yet, that guy wouldn't be so malicious as to bully their future Master.

Although Reimu hasn't had such in-depth exchanges with them, she can still grasp their basic personality.

So Reimu almost ruled them out, thinking that Koizumi probably had a problem with his sleeping posture.

And this is the wilderness, so there might be cases where not sleeping well causes various physical pains...

I used to be like that, due to the Hakurei Shrine... well, it's better not to say more.

Thinking of the poor life in the past, and comparing it to Chaldea now, it's really comfortable!

At least I don't have to go back to that kind of life where I had to buy ingredients and cook myself for every meal. Chaldea...

Wait! There don't seem to be any staff members at Chaldea, so what about meals? Could it be that I have to cook myself again?

Unconsciously, Reimu had begun to worry about her future life.

Glancing at Reimu, Koizumi couldn't help but feel helpless. I don't know if I have any bad habits when I sleep. Speaking of which, aren't you sleeping next to me? You should know best if I have any bad habits!

Wait a minute, if I really had any bad habits, and did something while sleeping, would Reimu still be talking to me so peacefully? She would have probably already smashed a Dream Seal at me!

Thinking of this, Koizumi couldn't help but look at Reimu, and was relieved to find that she didn't have anything unusual about her.

If I really showed some indecent posture or even...

In short, being able to survive until now from Reimu's hands is really a blessing from heaven...

Chapter 59 Meeting

Koizumi, Reimu, and Hata no Kokoro stayed in place after getting up early. Rarely, Koizumi didn't go to train.

It wasn't because he wasn't feeling well and didn't go to train, nor was it because he wanted to be lazy and didn't go to train, but simply because he was waiting for a guest, so he didn't specifically go to train. Besides, this place isn't far from the Imperial Capital, what if he accidentally attracted trouble?

Even if he wanted to train, he had to find a good place first, otherwise, he would easily get caught.

Actually, Koizumi originally planned to train himself well, because Koizumi felt like he was using his power more smoothly, but honestly, it was just a feeling. No one would know without trying, so Koizumi wanted to try it out.

But unfortunately, Koizumi couldn't leave Reimu alone. Don't think too much about it, it's not because he's worried about Reimu's safety. After all, Reimu's strength is very strong, and it's said that she has an ultimate Noble Phantasm that she sealed up because she doesn't want to use it to that extent.

If Reimu wants to, she can unlock the seal of her ultimate Noble Phantasm at any time, and since it's a Noble Phantasm that even Reimu wants to seal, then its power must be very terrifying, so Koizumi never worries about Reimu's safety.

He's mainly worried about Reimu negotiating with people alone here, after all, Reimu's integrity... hehehe...

This is really not underestimating Reimu, she can even sell herself out just by talking to the other party and not even knowing their name.

Koizumi really can't compliment this kind of integrity and intelligence. Could it be that all of her life experience points were added to combat and intuition, and her integrity and intelligence are not high?

Forget it, let's not think too much, I always feel like it's too pitiful for Reimu to despise her like this in my heart.

Getting back to the main point, the reason Koizumi didn't want Reimu to face Night Raid alone was mainly because he was worried she'd be easily swayed by them. Of course, Reimu was a Servant, after all, and her life experience was definitely greater than Koizumi's. The possibility of her being easily swayed was relatively low. Koizumi was mainly worried about her being tempted by the power of money, so Koizumi standing with Reimu would at least prevent her from getting dollar signs in her eyes and not listening to anything else. Besides, Hata no Kokoro was also here.

As a tsukumogami who controlled emotions, Hata no Kokoro could also sense the other party's feelings, which could also alert Koizumi.

For example, if they were feeling guilty... being able to sense the other party's emotions was a pretty good ability.

Although after forming a contract with Hata no Kokoro, he might one day possess this ability himself, Koizumi couldn't fully master it yet. He could only vaguely sense the other party's surface emotions, but he couldn't grasp anything deeper.

Koizumi, Reimu, and Hata no Kokoro waited here, but a long time had passed, and they still hadn't seen anyone.

Unknowingly, impatience had already surfaced on Reimu's face. She had agreed to the transaction, but that didn't mean she had a lot of patience. On the contrary, Reimu's patience had always been terrible, so—

"Are they going to stand us up...? If that's really the case, then I'll have to give them a Dream Seal!"

Reimu's temper couldn't be described as good, because when her temper flared up, she was like a demon.

If someone tried to trick her with money, Reimu wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.

Of course, for Reimu, the most important thing was her donation box. This was what Koizumi had heard from Yakumo Yukari.

However, it seemed that because Reimu had been summoned without Hakurei Shrine, the donation box wasn't with Reimu either.

He'd heard that if anyone dared to smash Hakurei Reimu's donation box, then they should be prepared to be turned into a demon by Hakurei Reimu...

Well, the rest should be obvious. Once she's turned into a demon, what else could she do...?

Koizumi could only smile helplessly at Reimu's impatience. Did she think it was so easy for people to mobilize?

Night Raid could be said to be notorious in the Imperial Capital. Everyone might not have heard of anything else, but no one who lived in the Imperial Capital wouldn't have heard of Night Raid.

Therefore, Night Raid generally had to be highly discreet when they mobilized.

This place wasn't far from the Imperial Capital. Even if Night Raid were to mobilize to come here, it definitely wouldn't be everyone.

But to mobilize someone with a high enough status to discuss relevant transactions with Reimu and himself, that person would definitely be Night Raid's Boss. But since the Boss was mobilizing, then safety had to be considered. Otherwise, if they were captured by the other side, wouldn't Night Raid be without a leader?

So it was understandable that they were mobilizing so slowly... That's what Koizumi thought.

"Do you think an assassin organization doesn't have to consider various factors before mobilizing? For example, this place is so close to the Imperial Capital. If they were surrounded by the Imperial Capital's general leading troops, we could use flight to slip away, but they can't... So before mobilizing, safety definitely has to be taken into account. With all that back and forth, it naturally takes a lot of time... Let's just wait..."
