Using FGO to Open the Second Dimension

This Teigu, Koizumi really wanted to use it, but unfortunately, he couldn't adapt to Teigu.

Plus, this Teigu already belonged to Chelsea, but the user of this Teigu required excellent acting skills.

If the acting skills weren't good enough, they might be seen through.

Chelsea was slightly stunned. She hadn't spoken much with Koizumi, so being called out by him suddenly was a bit unexpected...

Chapter 86: Serenity's Mission

"I really don't understand you... Master, why go into battle yourself when there's no need..."

Reimu's eyes were fixed on Koizumi before her, the seriousness in her eyes obvious.

They had already finished breakfast, and Reimu and Hata no Kokoro had sought out Koizumi to speak with him privately, while Serenity stood silently behind Koizumi.

"And... you haven't killed anyone before, have you... can you really adapt to killing, Master?"

Although Reimu hadn't spent that much time with Koizumi, she knew one thing: Koizumi hadn't killed anyone.

Not only had Koizumi never killed anyone, neither had Reimu! But having spent a long time with non-humans like Remilia, Reimu had seen a lot of the darkness among youkai and wasn't opposed to killing humans, but Koizumi was different.

Koizumi was just an ordinary person, so he would definitely be resistant to killing. Even if he did it, he might end up feeling uneasy. Killing someone usually had significant side effects the first time.

So Reimu was only expressing her concern for Koizumi, but she didn't want to care too much.

That's how it ended up, or rather, that's the tone she used, sounding very conflicted.

Koizumi clicked his tongue, a complex look appearing in his eyes. How could he not know this problem? But knowing was one thing, doing was another, otherwise he would never be able to adapt to this kind of life.

"I know what you mean, but just because I haven't killed anyone doesn't mean I won't. Are you expecting me to hide behind you and let you fight every time we deal with Singularities? You think I'm the kind of person who would stand back and watch you risk your lives?"

Koizumi looked at Reimu seriously, his aura causing her to take a small step back.

It seemed Koizumi was serious this time, otherwise he wouldn't be speaking so earnestly.

And Koizumi was right. Although the Gensokyo servants wouldn't mind Koizumi doing that, Koizumi would undoubtedly feel very uncomfortable. No one wanted to hide behind others their whole life, let alone behind women.

The strongest people in Gensokyo were mostly women, so it could be said that yin was flourishing and yang was declining.

A grown man hiding behind women every day, watching them fight to the death in front...

Reimu didn't know about other men, but based on her understanding of Koizumi, he definitely couldn't do that.

Koizumi was that kind of person, very competitive and caring deeply about the people he cared about.

He would never be able to stand by and watch the people he cared about fighting to the death.

"I understand... I probably understand why you wanted Akame and Chelsea to come along..."

Koizumi simply wanted someone to take care of him if he felt unwell after killing someone for the first time.

The people from Night Raid didn't know about their side's situation. Perhaps they didn't even know that Koizumi was killing someone for the first time. Reimu could already imagine the expressions on Akame and the others' faces when they saw Koizumi throwing up.

Koizumi glanced at Serenity behind him. To be honest, Serenity's appearance had startled many people.

Because Serenity had always covered her face with a mask ever since she joined Night Raid.

At first, Akame and the others thought Serenity was hiding her face because she was ugly.

But when Serenity revealed her original face, Akame and the others couldn't help but be amazed.

Serenity was indeed very beautiful, on par with Akame and the others, and perhaps even more captivating.

Coupled with her full-body black stockings... perhaps they could even play some shameful P.l.ays... at least that's what Koizumi thought.

By the way, Serenity's condition had also surprised Hundred Personas. Although she didn't say anything about Serenity's choice, after all, they were both Old Man of the Mountain, but frankly speaking, they had no connection other than that. They weren't assassins from the same era, and they had no right to interfere with each other's choices. Moreover, she knew why Serenity had made that choice.

In fact, if there was someone who could complete her salvation, Hundred Personas would also offer her loyalty without hesitation.

What surprised Hundred Personas was that Koizumi was able to support Serenity's contract while also forming contracts with Reimu and Hata no Kokoro. Not only that, but Serenity's condition was also much better than before, and her Spirit Origin level had improved. This was what was known as Spirit Origin Ascension.

The current Serenity was the strongest Spirit Origin in the Assassin class, and her strength was much greater than before.

This Master's Master aptitude was too strong... Hundred Personas thought to herself speechlessly.

She had never seen such a powerful Master before...

Getting back to the topic, a trace of contemplation flashed in Koizumi's eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Serenity... can you do me a favor? I need your help right now..."

Koizumi turned around, placing his hands on Serenity's shoulders, his eyes looking directly at her.

Reimu and Hata no Kokoro looked at Koizumi and Serenity with puzzled expressions. Why was Koizumi suddenly looking for Serenity?

Serenity was also slightly stunned, but she quickly recovered and looked at Koizumi calmly again.

She had offered Koizumi her loyalty, offering everything she had, for the sake of helping him.

Serenity had already acknowledged Koizumi as her master, and she would always offer her loyalty, because for Serenity, Koizumi's existence was her salvation, nothing more, nothing less. As long as it was someone who could touch her without dying, Serenity would do the same.

"Please give your orders, Master!" Serenity looked at Koizumi with a respectful expression, appearing unusually serious.

Reimu and Hata no Kokoro looked at Serenity and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. This was the attitude a normal servant should have... But, Reimu, shouldn't you think about it? Since you know this is the attitude a normal servant should have, shouldn't you learn from her?

What a speechless fellow... Koizumi glanced at Reimu's expression and felt extremely speechless.

"Go to the Imperial Capital for me and investigate the matter of Ouka the Ogre. I need everything, I want to know what the hell is up with Seryu's uncomfortable-feeling master..."

A hint of gloom flashed in Koizumi's eyes. He had a very uncomfortable feeling about that Ouka; he was clearly not a good person.

A hint of realization also flashed in Reimu's eyes. So, they were investigating that Imperial Guard captain. Speaking of which, that Imperial Guard captain was indeed not a good person. If possible, it would be best not to let him corrupt Seryu.

Chapter 87: The Mischievous Chelsea

Koizumi didn't know Akame and Chelsea that well, but if he had to say who he knew better, it would be Akame.

Chelsea liked to play pranks, something everyone in Night Raid knew.

So, this couldn't really be considered a deeper understanding; things everyone knew weren't private secrets.

At this moment, Koizumi needed to get along well with these two, because next, he would be carrying out a mission with them.

However, it wasn't time for the mission yet. After all, an assassin's main stage wasn't in the morning, but at night.

However, because Koizumi, Reimu, and Hata no Kokoro had caused such a ruckus in the Imperial Capital, the result was that the Imperial Capital had become exceptionally heavily guarded.

By the way, it was said that at night, you could see the Imperial Guard patrolling every street, and even soldiers.

It seemed that the battle between Reimu and that general last time had attracted the Empire's attention, so the defenses were so strict now.

...When Koizumi heard this news, he was mentally collapsing because it meant that going in for an assassination would be several times more difficult. There were people guarding every street; how was he supposed to do this? They would be spotted as soon as they went in!

Just as Koizumi was about to go complain to Najenda and the others in a state of collapse, he suddenly realized something.

Since that Reias liked to watch dangerous species kill people, didn't that mean he had to leave the Imperial Capital? After all, which noble would dare to keep dangerous species? Only researchers liked to do that kind of thing.

And even if researchers liked to do that kind of thing, they wouldn't dare to do it in the Imperial Capital. After all, what if something went wrong and threatened the Little Emperor? Researchers had to think about their own heads.

So, that Reias would definitely leave the Imperial Capital, and this was also written in his daily life record.

Then, he would only have a chance to kill him when he left the Imperial Capital.

However, if he wanted to exterminate his entire family, he would have to wait until after killing Reias and use Chelsea's Teigu to infiltrate the Imperial Capital. However, Chelsea's Teigu could only help her infiltrate the Imperial Capital alone; no one else could do it.

But then he could fly away quickly and pick up Chelsea in the air.

However, could Chelsea solve his entire family alone? What if there were other experts mixed in?

Koizumi was constantly deducing various possibilities in his mind to avoid any accidents. After all, assassins also needed to formulate a certain plan. Going to assassinate without a brain was just a blind impulse. If something unexpected happened, it would become a situation with only a slim chance of survival. So, Koizumi had to think carefully about how to respond or retreat if certain situations arose. This was also for the sake of being an excellent Master.

After all, he had to arrange corresponding plans and make certain preparations for the various Singularities he would be going to in the future.

Looking at Koizumi, who was silent in front of them, Akame and Chelsea couldn't help but exchange glances, both expressing confusion.

"Hey, Akame, do you think this little guy is shy because he's traveling with two beauties?"

Chelsea's pupils couldn't help but turn, as if she had thought of something interesting. Then, she grabbed Akame's shoulder and revealed a playful smile. She was mostly curious about this young man who had suddenly cooperated with Night Raid, but because of the energy he possessed, Chelsea had never chosen to approach him.

It wasn't shyness, just a hint of vigilance and a little bit of caution. The vigilance was because the other party was considered half an enemy. Although they had chosen to cooperate with Night Raid, they hadn't completely joined, which meant that once the cooperative relationship ended, they might become enemies. To avoid creating unnecessary camaraderie, Chelsea didn't approach him.

The caution was for fear of accidentally offending him. Leone's example was right there. It was said that because Leone had accidentally cheated him out of money, it had caused him to be very unhappy with their side, saying that even despicable behaviors like cheating foreigners out of money were done, and Night Raid wasn't necessarily a good organization.

Well, it was originally an assassin organization. Fundamentally speaking, it was indeed not a good organization.

However, now she had put away her caution and vigilance, because they still needed to act together next.

After nearly a day of observation, Chelsea also had a rough understanding of Reimu and Hata no Kokoro. Both of them were very powerful. It was said that Hata no Kokoro had fought Bulat, Akame, and Lubbock to a standstill, and Reimu had dealt with the beastly Leone and the sniping Mine very easily, even knocking down Leone with just one move.

In terms of personality, Reimu was the type who loved leisure, had simple thoughts, and was consistent inside and out.

This one was relatively easy to get along with... Chelsea thought to herself.

As for Hata no Kokoro, she was the type who was expressionless, but would use masks to express emotions, and aside from selling masks and Koizumi, she could be said to have no interest in anything else.

Hmm... this one was also very easy to get along with... Chelsea nodded slightly.

These two shouldn't be the type who would become enemies, but in the end, it still depended on Koizumi.

Because both of these people followed Koizumi's lead.

So, Chelsea was now choosing to make contact to see what type Koizumi was, and then choose how to treat him in the future.

Chelsea was very lively and friendly, but all of this had to be based on the mission and teammates. In the face of an existence that might become an enemy in the future, Chelsea would choose to restrain this nature slightly and focus on testing the waters.

Akame was grabbed by the shoulder by Chelsea, then glanced at Chelsea and couldn't help but shake her head.

"I don't know, but looking at him, he looks a lot like Boss when she's thinking, he should be thinking about the mission."

Chelsea couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and glanced at Koizumi. He did look like he was thinking about the mission.

Slowly, Chelsea walked to Koizumi's front, her face almost touching Koizumi's face.

Although Akame saw it, she remained silent. She knew Chelsea's nature, so she didn't say much.

Just get used to it...

As for Koizumi, he was immersed in thought. Suddenly, a pretty face came into Koizumi's view, and the almost audible breathing made Koizumi realize the current situation.

Very quickly, Koizumi's face was dyed crimson, and at the same time, his legs subconsciously retreated.

Koizumi lost his balance and his body tilted backward.

Akame stepped forward slightly and grabbed Koizumi, preventing him from falling.

"Are you okay?" Akame asked softly.

Koizumi nodded quickly, his whole person looking a little embarrassed, and his breathing was uneven.

And Chelsea flashed a knowing smile, as if she'd just pulled off a clever scheme.

"I thought you were used to living with Reimu and Hata no Kokoro, little guy. Seeing a beautiful woman like me doesn't even faze you. Looks like I've still got it... What's wrong, little guy? Are you falling for me?"

As she said this, Chelsea winked playfully at Koizumi, quite the flirt.

"I thought you were used to living with Reimu and Hata no Kokoro, little guy. Seeing a beautiful woman like me doesn't even faze you. Looks like I've still got it... What's wrong, little guy? Are you falling for me?"

As she said this, Chelsea winked playfully at Koizumi, quite the flirt.

But Koizumi just rolled his eyes at Chelsea. Falling for her? Wishful thinking. He didn't have time for romance right now, and besides, he'd have to leave once the Singularities problem was solved. No way he'd start a relationship here.

Besides, if I got serious, I'm afraid you'd back down, you teasing girl.

But then again, that's just Chelsea. She used to tease Mine like that back in Night Raid, driving Mine crazy and making everyone else feel helpless.

"What's wrong, little guy? Don't you find me attractive? My figure is definitely better than that flat-chested midget!"

As she said this, Chelsea deliberately puffed out her chest, as if to add credibility to her words...

Koizumi's lips twitched. Flat-chested midget? That must be Mine... Mine was indeed flat-chested, and smaller than the others in Night Raid, but you're going too far! You'll lose friends that way! But then again, maybe that's how they show affection. Chelsea and Mine might actually be strengthening their bond by arguing like this. After all, Mine is a tsundere...

That's what Koizumi thought. Sometimes, the people who argue every day have a better relationship than those who hang out all the time... But why did two figures suddenly appear in his mind when he thought of this?

One figure gave off the image of a yamato nadeshiko, and the most striking feature of the other was her white hair and red eyes.

Do I know these two? Are they the kind of people whose relationship gets better the more they argue?

Without realizing it, Koizumi rested his chin on his hand and fell into thought, causing Chelsea to cover her forehead in exasperation.

Is my charm really not high enough? Why does he get distracted when I'm standing right in front of him?

That's not right. Both Akame and I are beautiful girls. We'd definitely be ogled by a lot of perverts if we walked down the street. But why does our charm seem to disappear completely when we're around Koizumi? We're completely ignored.

"Hey... Akame, do you think this guy has a problem in that area...? He gets distracted even when two beautiful women are in front of him. He's completely ignoring our charm... It's making me doubt myself." Compared to Akame, Chelsea was obviously bolder, so she could say such things to Akame without hesitation. Unfortunately, she was clearly asking the wrong person.
