Opening the Anime World with FGO Methods

The Night Raid was quite interested in these talismans, so they didn't refuse Reimu's kindness.

Anyway, they were all considered part of Night Raid now, except that Reimu was only cooperating with Night Raid and wasn't truly a member, though they saw it as pretty much the same thing.

"I guess so, but don't you think these leisurely days are nice? Drinking tea, eating snacks, thinking about so much stuff all day just gives you a headache. Leisurely days are so wonderful..."

As she said this, Reimu couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion, a hint of nostalgia appearing on her face.

She vaguely remembered that back in Gensokyo, days without incidents were just like this, how wonderful...

But now, Gensokyo was destroyed. Although the reconstruction was successful, countless destructive possibilities had emerged. Not resolving them would only bring trouble to her future self, so she could only quickly eliminate these possibilities before they grew. However, her main body couldn't interfere with parallel worlds, so she could only use her Servant state to resolve this matter.

"It seems like life in Gensokyo is quite nice. If possible, I'd like to go there and see the beautiful scenery."

Koizumi's eyes sparkled with envy. Reimu still had beautiful memories to recall, but he had none...

Having lost his memories, he had nothing to reminisce about, which was sad, but from this moment on, he could constantly create wonderful memories worth recalling. Perhaps that was a kind of luck.

Losing his memories made him realize that he could never casually forget any memory from now on.

Reimu just smiled faintly, "I don't mind. If that Yakumo Yukari agrees, Gensokyo is always welcome to you. Gensokyo is very hospitable, of course, as long as you don't cause me any trouble!"

Reimu really hated trouble. If Koizumi dared to cause her trouble, she definitely wouldn't hold back.

Knowing Reimu's true nature, Koizumi just smiled slightly in response. He wasn't someone who would cause trouble.

However, now wasn't the time to go to Gensokyo. After all, many things hadn't been resolved yet. At the very least, he had to resolve these Singularities first, and he also had to get Yakumo Yukari's approval. You see, although Yakumo Yukari gave off a friendly feeling, she actually maintained a certain distance from Koizumi in her actions and words, which meant she didn't acknowledge him.

Yakumo Yukari regarded Koizumi as a special existence for resolving Singularities, but it seemed that she also wanted to keep a certain distance from him for some special reason. He could feel a strong emotion, but she had to maintain her distance.

This feeling of forcing herself made Koizumi feel strange, and he couldn't understand Yakumo Yukari's thoughts.

But Koizumi wasn't in a hurry. Servants had their own pride, and Koizumi would strive to get her to acknowledge him.

"I will strive to get Yukari to acknowledge me, but it's better to resolve the Singularities first."

Koizumi smiled faintly. He was very curious about Gensokyo. Being able to produce existences like Reimu, Hata no Kokoro, Remilia, and Yukari, Koizumi was truly curious about this magical land. It would be nice to go there and play around.

That place should be a good resort. If he got tired, he could go there and sit for a while.

Reimu's gaze was fixed on Koizumi in front of her, and she had a strange feeling in her heart.

Her intuition was always accurate, but this feeling in her heart wasn't a good one.

Her intuition told her that Koizumi would never be able to go to Gensokyo, and it could even be said that Koizumi himself was actually...

How could that be... Reimu laughed at her own intuition for the first time in her life.

There was no helping it, after all, this so-called intuition was too absurd, so absurd that Reimu herself couldn't believe it.

"That's right, it's better to resolve the Singularities first. By the way... have you looked into those two Assassins?" At the end, Reimu's eyes turned to Koizumi in front of her, her eyes flashing with questions.

The appearance of those two Assassins did indeed surprise Reimu and Koizumi.

In particular, the abilities of those two Assassins surprised Koizumi and Reimu. One could constantly create clones, although their strength would decrease, but they were great at group fights!

The other was covered in poison, and could even spread the poison in the air.

These two Assassins weren't very strong, but their Noble Phantasms were excellent, and they could indeed catch the opponent off guard if they weren't careful.

Koizumi had suffered from being careless...

"No, although I know one is called Hundred Personas and the other is called Serenity, I really don't know anything else! It's not like you don't know that my memories are gone, and I don't know much about those historical legends, except for those who are very famous..."

Koizumi rolled his eyes at Reimu, his tone full of speechlessness. Weren't Servants given the corresponding knowledge when they were summoned? Shouldn't you know more than me?

Reimu couldn't help but pout, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Hundred Personas, Serenity... Honestly, she had no clue. These names were really...

Chapter 77 Hassan-i Sabbah

In fact, if you want to know their real names, just go and ask them directly... That's what Hata no Kokoro did.

The story was simple. Hata no Kokoro saw Serenity and Hundred Personas wearing skull masks, so she thought they must like masks, so she went to sell masks to them. And that's how Hata no Kokoro got to know the two Assassins, Hundred Personas and Serenity.

They didn't refuse Hata no Kokoro's masks, although they couldn't use them, they could see Hata no Kokoro's kindness.

While selling the masks, Hata no Kokoro also learned their names.

Hassan-i Sabbah, this is the common name, and also the origin of the Assassin class. The word "Assassin" comes from the name "Hassan," and they are all one of the Old Men of the Mountain who served as the leader of the assassination order. Legend has it that they were assassination experts with the aliases "Hassan of the Hundred Personas" and "Hassan of Serenity" during their lifetimes.

When it came to the Old Man of the Mountain, Reimu knew all about it, after all, the name Old Man of the Mountain was quite famous.

That was a character who appeared in Marco Polo's Travels of Marco Polo.

As the head of the assassination order, they would scout out young people who seemed promising and incite them: give you fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women, but the price is to assassinate important figures. The legend originated around the 11th century, originating from the Nizari Ismaili sect, a sub-sect of the Shia branch of Islam—a group known for their radical extremism.

The founder of that Nizari sect was Hassan-i Sabbah. Hassan, who had a strong connection with the declining Fatimid dynasty, opposed the Seljuk Empire and repeatedly launched wars and assassinations against them. These facts are what led to them being called the "Assassination Order" in later generations.

Moreover, the martial arts novel master Jin Yong also had descriptions of the Old Man of the Mountain. Not only was there an introduction in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, but there was also a corresponding description in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, namely, Huo Shan, the Old Man of the Mountain, whose real name was Hassan-i Sabbah. It is said that he founded the Assassins and used strict terrorist activities to deal with political enemies.

Koizumi was stunned by Reimu's explanation of the Old Man of the Mountain.

So assassins can be so powerful. The word Assassin actually originated from the name Hassan.

It seems that almost dying while fighting against them wasn't so embarrassing after all, that's what Koizumi thought in his heart.

After all, their battle record was high, which is why people fall into the idea of ​​worshipping the past and suppressing the present.

Just like Koizumi right now, he really doesn't have any impressive achievements to compare with her.

And in fact, Hundred Personas and Serenity's abilities are indeed quite good; Koizumi has stumbled at their hands before.

Hata no Kokoro quietly sat next to Koizumi, leaning on him affectionately. This time, it was thanks to her that he knew the true names of those two Assassins. But thinking about it, wasn't it too careless to reveal their true names so easily?

Koizumi had read relevant books in Chaldea and knew that Servants in the Holy Grail War shouldn't easily reveal their true names, or it would be terrible if their weaknesses were discovered by the enemy. That's why Koizumi was mentally complaining.

Revealing their true names so easily seemed a bit too rash.

If it were Reimu and the others, it wouldn't matter. Reimu herself belongs to Gensokyo and isn't a Servant from normal human history. Gensokyo is a land loved and forgotten by the gods, so no one would know Reimu's weaknesses.

"Perhaps they aren't very wary of Hata no Kokoro... Could they be trying to show me goodwill?"

Koizumi thought to himself, were they trying to show him that they weren't his enemies?

Koizumi felt he needed to think this through, because it would be troublesome if they turned out to be enemies.

Being enemies with Assassins is a very troublesome thing; no one wants an enemy lurking in the shadows.

"So... what do you plan to do next? Confront those two Assassins?"

Reimu's eyes were fixed on Koizumi. Koizumi was the Master, so she would ask him about everything. As long as Koizumi agreed, she would convince herself even if she disagreed in her heart.

Basically, Reimu wouldn't refuse anything that didn't violate her principles.

So, compared to other Servants with strong personalities, Reimu was relatively easy to get along with.

Everything else was fine, except that supporting her was a waste of money because Reimu was too greedy, which ordinary people couldn't accept.

"This still needs some thought. Let's see what those two Assassins do first..."

Koizumi was good at everything, but he was just too careful, having to act cautiously in everything to avoid any accidents.

Reimu said she could understand Koizumi's caution because everything in Singularities was unknown.

You can't be careless when facing the unknown, or you'll easily crash and burn in the unknown world.

Of course, Koizumi was still very bold when he needed to be. If he was too cautious, it wouldn't be caution, but cowardice.

Koizumi was well aware of this, so he wasn't overly cautious.

If he were too cautious, Koizumi wouldn't have deliberately revealed a flaw to let the Assassins come and assassinate him.

"..." Suddenly, Reimu, Koizumi, and Hata no Kokoro seemed to sense something. Their brows furrowed slightly, and they turned their gaze behind them, only to see a slender figure already standing behind them.

Koizumi and the others were slightly startled that the other party had appeared behind them, and they had only just noticed it.

What low presence... Akame... Reimu frowned slightly as she looked at Akame in front of her.

Putting aside her ability to conceal her presence, why did Akame give her a familiar feeling?

It wasn't that her aura was familiar, but the feeling was familiar... it was as if she had felt the same feeling on someone else.

It was in the Imperial Capital... that guy who released lightning power also gave her this feeling.

That guy who used [Thunder God Descent: Ademir] had an extremely faint Servant aura.

And Akame in front of her also faintly had a Servant aura, but this aura was very faint.

After taking a deep look at Akame in front of her, Reimu didn't take it to heart. This Singularity itself had problems, so even if bigger problems arose, they could be ignored. The main thing was to find the root of the distortion.

Akame in front of her was staring straight at Koizumi, making Koizumi realize what she was thinking.

Koizumi gave Reimu and Hata no Kokoro a look, and the two immediately understood, so they left.

Although they were curious as to why Akame was looking for Koizumi, they guessed it must be important.

Koizumi and the others had only just arrived at [Night Raid], but they had learned that Akame seemed to be looking for Koizumi, so Leone and the others were paying attention to the foreigners who had just arrived in the Imperial Capital.

Of course, they had no idea why Akame was looking for Koizumi.

Chapter 78: Akame's Question

"Do you know Kurome?"

This was the first thing Akame asked Koizumi when she came over, but Koizumi looked puzzled at Akame's question.

Kurome? Who's that... It sounds a little familiar, but Koizumi could be sure of one thing: he definitely didn't know Kurome.

Only the name was very familiar, but his memories of the past few days were very clear. He had never met Kurome.

After all, he had never been to this Singularity before, and he had been with Reimu almost all these days. How would he know Kurome?

However, why did a face almost identical to Akame's appear in Koizumi's mind when Kurome was mentioned, but with a pair of jet-black eyes... Strange, could it be that I'm imagining her with black eyes just because her name is Kurome?

However, imagination aside, he still had to say what needed to be said, or it would cause misunderstandings.

"I don't know her. Kurome's name sounds familiar, but I've been with Reimu these days and haven't met anyone named Kurome... But speaking of which, your name is Akame, so Kurome is your..."

If he guessed correctly, Kurome should be Akame's younger sister, or Akame wouldn't have this kind of emotion...

She would only have this kind of special reaction when talking about her younger sister.

After all, looking at Akame, she was usually very calm, so calm that Koizumi almost thought she was emotionless.

But speaking of which, even the usually calm Akame's tone was a little off when talking about her younger sister.

Could it be that Kurome isn't currently with the Revolutionary Army? Otherwise, why would she ask me about Kurome?

If not with the Revolutionary Army, wouldn't that mean she's with the Empire? Wait! If she's with the Empire, doesn't that mean the two sisters are enemies?

This is truly tragic; Akame, as the older sister, and Kurome, as the younger sister, are actually enemies to each other.

Thinking of this, Koizumi couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Akame. Being enemies with her own sister...

"Kurome is my sister..." Akame nodded slightly, her expression not changing much, but her tone was tinged with a hint of sadness. This hint of sadness was well concealed, but Koizumi, possessing a portion of Hata no Kokoro's power, was able to detect it.

So, Hata no Kokoro's ability is quite useful, helping Koizumi a lot in terms of listening to emotions.

Even now, if Akame wants to hide her feelings, Koizumi can still perceive them.

An assassin like Akame, if she wanted to, could hide her emotions very well.

If one accidentally says the wrong thing and stumbles upon the other person's emotional trigger, they'd be in big trouble.

But this ability allows him to know what the other person's emotions are at this very moment, so he doesn't have to worry about that problem at all.

"I see... Unfortunately, I've never met her. I'm quite certain of that..."

A hint of apology appeared on Koizumi's face. Now is not the time for a faint smile; smiling when the other person is sad would be too impolite. The best thing to do would be to have an apologetic expression.

Akame gently shook her head. She was just asking Koizumi with a certain expectation.

In fact, even if Koizumi said that he knew Kurome, Akame wouldn't say anything.

At most, she would ask about Kurome's current situation, but Akame wouldn't ask anything else.

She doesn't expect Kurome's position to change much because of Koizumi.

After all, she, as the older sister, hasn't been able to resolve this situation. How could it be easily changed because of someone she knows?

However, Koizumi not knowing Kurome wasn't beyond Akame's expectations. She just continued to ask, The second question was—"Have we met before?"

A strong look of doubt flickered in Akame's pair of crimson eyes. To be honest, this question is actually quite stupid.

After all, how could Akame not know whether she and Koizumi knew each other or not?
