Koizumi was lying in ambush in the woods, while Akame and Chelsea were introducing him to some of the darker aspects of the Imperial Capital.

It was obvious that Koizumi didn't quite understand the Imperial Capital's dark side, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed there for so long. He definitely didn't know much about the inner workings of the Imperial Capital, nor was he very clear about the Revolutionary Army and Night Raid. Akame and Chelsea were explaining these things to him.

Akame used to be part of the Empire's assassination squad, and Chelsea herself was well aware of the Empire's darkness. At the same time, she also understood some of the darkness within the Revolutionary Army, but she felt that the Revolutionary Army was much better than the Empire, so she didn't care too much.

She was just an assassin, and she knew what she should and shouldn't say as an assassin, so she was very self-aware.

But since Koizumi asked, it wouldn't hurt to talk about the Empire's darkness. As for the Revolutionary Army, she couldn't be bothered to talk about it.

The Revolutionary Army's affairs were explained by Akame, since she had been in both the Empire and the Revolutionary Army.

"I see, there are so many dark things going on inside the Empire. But come to think of it… you haven't said much about the Revolutionary Army. You've only given me a rough overview of the superficial information."

Koizumi's gaze focused on Akame and Chelsea, his eyes filled with deep suspicion.

Could it be that because he was now a member of the Revolutionary Army, they were avoiding the topic?

But that wasn't right. Akame and Chelsea didn't seem like the type to avoid such topics. Could it be because of him?

Were they wary of him and didn't want to discuss the topic, afraid that he would attack the Revolutionary Army?

Koizumi wondered to himself, but on second thought, that didn't seem right either. Akame clearly wouldn't do that.

Chelsea might have been a little wary of him at first, but she had opened up during this mission.

So, it was clear that Chelsea wasn't that wary of him anymore. But why weren't they saying anything?

Could it be that Chelsea herself didn't know much about the Revolutionary Army? It seemed that he would have to learn about the Revolutionary Army from Najenda. Najenda used to visit the Revolutionary Army headquarters often and must know a lot.

The reason Koizumi wanted to ask about the Revolutionary Army was mainly because he was wary of it.

The Revolutionary Army had Hundred Personas and Serenity as Servants. There might be other Servants at the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

If the Revolutionary Army was involved with Servants, Koizumi wouldn't believe it if they had nothing to do with the distortion.

So, Koizumi was also wary of the Revolutionary Army. As for Serenity, Koizumi didn't ask or have time to ask. After talking to Serenity last night, Serenity made a contract with him. Then it was late, so Koizumi went to sleep. He woke up early in the morning and was almost kicked to death by Reimu. Later, he accepted a mission and asked Serenity to investigate Ouka the Ogre. After Serenity left, Koizumi thought of the question of whether the Revolutionary Army had anything to do with the distortion, and whether there were any other Servants at the Revolutionary Army headquarters. Unfortunately, by this time, Koizumi and Akame had already left.

Akame and Chelsea exchanged glances at Koizumi's question about the Revolutionary Army, and shook their heads helplessly.

Chapter 92: Ambush

"Mr. Koizumi, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but we don't know much about the internal affairs of the Revolutionary Army. We're just assassins. Assassins only need to do what assassins should do. We don't need to care about other things. So, Akame and I don't really know much about the internal affairs of the Revolutionary Army. It might be better to ask Boss."

Chelsea couldn't help but smile wryly. Perhaps Koizumi had some misunderstanding about them.

Assassins are only responsible for assassinations. They can't get involved in politics, otherwise it will attract a lot of gossip.

As Chelsea said, even if they knew something, they would have to forget it all in the end, otherwise something would happen.

So, Chelsea couldn't tell Koizumi too much, lest she drag him in. And Chelsea really didn't know too many of the Revolutionary Army's secrets. Only a female general like Najenda would know a lot of relevant secrets.

But Najenda might not know too much either, because Najenda herself was a defector.

A defector knowing the Revolutionary Army's dark history? That was a joke. It would be good enough if she wasn't dealt with.

Akame really didn't know much, because she really wasn't interested in these things. She only needed to know that the Revolutionary Army had overthrown the Empire and that the people would live better lives. She didn't want to know too much about the rest.

Koizumi nodded. Chelsea was right. Assassins only needed to do what assassins should do.

They didn't need to think about so many other things. This was also a kind of dedication to their duties.

So, Koizumi didn't say anything about Chelsea's apology. This was what a normal assassin should do.

He could just ask Najenda or Serenity next time. Koizumi didn't purely want to know any dark history.

Koizumi only wanted to know if there were any other Servants in the Revolutionary Army. If there were, he would need to go to the Revolutionary Army headquarters. Serenity and Hundred Personas would know more about these things. Hundred Personas might not tell him, but Serenity definitely would.

By the way, Koizumi also wanted to know if there were any other problems with the Revolutionary Army. If there were, he would have to prepare to oppose the Revolutionary Army. If possible, Koizumi also wanted to win over Night Raid as a fighting force.

Everyone in Night Raid was great, at least in terms of their character.

So, compared to the people in the Imperial Capital, Koizumi preferred to stay in Night Raid.

"I understand, sorry…" Koizumi smiled softly, answering apologetically.

Chelsea and Akame shook their heads gently. They didn't care about this question. Although they were curious as to why Koizumi was asking so many questions, they thought that Koizumi must have his own ideas.

"Speaking of which, is Leas really coming? Is Leone's plan for Leas's movements correct?"

Koizumi frowned slightly. He couldn't help it. Leas hadn't appeared yet, which really made Koizumi feel very puzzled. So, Koizumi was skeptical about Leone's plan for Leas's movements.

After all, this was Koizumi's first mission with Night Raid. He didn't have a thorough understanding of Leone's abilities. If Akame was responsible for carrying out this mission, she might be more aware of this.

Although Leone was always irresponsible in the Imperial Capital, there was no doubt that Leone was still very trustworthy on missions.

Chelsea didn't know much about Leone either, but there was no doubt that she had to have some trust in her teammates. So, Chelsea hadn't said anything so far and was just waiting silently.

"Don't worry, Leone is usually irresponsible, but she's trustworthy on missions."

Akame said calmly, patting Koizumi's shoulder gently, but she didn't let down her guard at all.

For Akame, since she was on a mission, she couldn't let down her guard no matter what, otherwise she would be exposing a weakness.

Once she exposed a weakness, it would be terrible. So, this was something that Akame couldn't allow to happen no matter what.

She didn't want anything to happen to her teammates, but she also didn't want anything to happen to herself.

After all, if something happened to her, her teammates would be very sad. And… before she resolved the matter with Kurome, she absolutely couldn't let anything happen to herself. She could only kill Kurome or be killed by Kurome.

Akame's eyes flashed with a hint of sharp light, and after shifting her gaze from Koizumi, she looked around again.

"Chelsea, use your Teigu's power to check around. Maybe that guy is already here."

Chelsea could transform into birds of prey like eagles, allowing her to scout.

It was just a pity that if she was too obvious, it would be easy for the opponent's experts to notice. However, compared to that, a noble like Rheas probably wouldn't hire many powerful experts. The fact that her own patterns of movement had been discovered by an assassin organization...

And that she hadn't made any preparations after discovering that was a bit foolish.

Chelsea nodded, picked up the [Transformation Free: Gaia Foundation] in her hand, and the next moment, Chelsea transformed into an eagle and appeared beside Koizumi, flying into the air without hesitation.

Chelsea had done a lot of special training to be able to adapt to the [Transformation Free: Gaia Foundation].

Chelsea could almost reproduce the personality of a person or animal after transforming into them.

Unfortunately, before Chelsea could fly high into the sky, screams had already begun to come from the distance.

Without listening closely, one could almost hear that these screams were from girls, and at the same time as the screams, there were also roars of Danger Beasts.

Akame and Koizumi exchanged a glance, and the next moment, the air around their feet suddenly exploded, and they had already disappeared from the spot.

At this moment, Serenity was also investigating Ouka the Ogre, and also paying attention to Seryu according to Koizumi's instructions.

Koizumi felt it was necessary to pay attention to how his friend was doing recently.

Using aura concealment, Serenity was able to blend into the Imperial Guard without being noticed by anyone.

Ouka was not in the Imperial Guard; Seryu was leading the team in his place.

It seemed that General Bude had taken over the Imperial Guard, saying that he wanted to thoroughly investigate those who had infiltrated the Imperial Capital.

For some reason, General Bude attached great importance to this incident, which was very strange.

Seryu had been feeling a bit dazed recently, not because of anything else, but because her master had been demoted.

The master she had always regarded as a standard of justice had actually been found by General Bude to have committed evil deeds. This was like reshaping Seryu's entire worldview. She simply couldn't believe that her master would have evil behavior.

She couldn't believe it, but faced with the absolute evidence, she had nothing to say.

Because she was a Teigu User, General Bude had promoted her to captain of the Imperial Guard.

Although that was the case, Seryu was not happy at all, because she knew that she had always been led by bad people.

She had actually been calling an evil person her master, and her father had actually regarded this person as a friend.

The overly real reality made Seryu not know what to say. Her heart felt heavy, and she didn't know how to solve it.

Usually at this time, she could actually go to Koizumi and the others for help, to pour out the bitterness in her heart or something.

But now, Koizumi had left, driven away by General Bude, driven away by her evil master.

Now she desperately hoped that Koizumi and the others could come back, not for any other reason, but because she felt that she was sorry to them.

Now, thinking carefully, it seemed that there was almost no evidence that Koizumi and the others were members of the Peaceful Path Sect.

If it were before, if her master had said this to her, Seryu might have believed her master's words, but now that her master had been defined as an evil object, wouldn't that mean that the claim that Koizumi was a spy planted by the Peaceful Path Sect in the Imperial Capital had lost its reliability? Wasn't Koizumi's rampage in the Imperial Capital caused by her master's actions? If her master hadn't been stubborn, then Koizumi and the others wouldn't have taken action, and if they hadn't taken action, they wouldn't have alarmed General Bude of the Imperial Capital, and if they hadn't alarmed the general, then none of this would have happened.

Thinking of this, Seryu couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the complex emotions in her heart surged up again.

She began to regret it. If she hadn't listened to her master's words and had instead chosen to follow her heart, then wouldn't these things have happened? Then wouldn't she be sitting in front of the Hakurei Amulet Shop drinking tea right now?

Thinking back carefully, it was really quite wonderful. She had only known Reimu for about two days, strictly speaking, not even two days, but she was already so familiar with Reimu, Hata no Kokoro, and Koizumi. She would sit at the entrance of the Hakurei Amulet Shop from time to time to drink tea, chat with them, or talk about interesting things she encountered during patrols. Everyone would laugh and joke together.

Those days were really peaceful and happy. But now, the atmosphere in the Imperial Guard was becoming increasingly heavy. After General Bude took over the Imperial Guard, one old friend after another was kicked out. She didn't expect that many of the old friends in the Imperial Guard who used to laugh and joke with her also had evil behavior.

Then there were a lot of unfamiliar seniors, who she heard were all under General Bude's command.

Those seniors looked very powerful. At least Seryu believed that she would be instantly killed in close combat with them.

"Yo! Seryu, you're back with your team!" At this time, a man who had just joined the Imperial Guard greeted Seryu.

Seryu looked rather listless, but she didn't forget the courtesy she should show.

"Hello, Senior..." Seryu bowed to the man in front of her, her eyes flashing with deep respect.

In any case, the other party was a member of the Imperial Army responsible for defending the Imperial Capital, and was someone she should respect.

The Imperial Army was an army under the command and training of General Bude, and could be said to be a major weapon of the empire.

General Bude's choice to allow some members of the Imperial Army to join the ranks of the Imperial Guard was also because the security of the Imperial Capital was very important, and he was worried that someone would be playing tricks within the empire. This was the reason Seryu guessed. However, Seryu herself strongly agreed with having so many seniors who upheld justice in the Imperial Guard, but recent events had made Seryu feel very uncomfortable.

It could even be said that recent events had made Seryu regret what had happened before.

"What's wrong? Seryu? What's wrong with you? I feel like you've been acting strange lately. Are you feeling unwell?"

These people from the Imperial Army who had joined the Imperial Guard were very friendly to Seryu, not for any other reason, but because Seryu was different from the others. First, because Seryu was a Teigu User, and second, because there were a lot of trash in the Imperial Guard who ate without doing anything, but Seryu was the only one who was seriously doing things. Although Seryu's methods were a bit extreme, if she was properly taught, she might be able to change them, at least not be as cruel as before.

Therefore, Seryu could be said to be very popular with these people. After all, comparison is the thief of joy.

When a clean person emerges from a pile of evil people, it is inevitable that their perception of them will be better than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, those seniors were very concerned about Seryu, but unfortunately, Seryu didn't pay much attention to these things.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior. I'm fine, it's just... until now, I still can't believe that my master actually..." That's right, whether other people were evil or not wouldn't necessarily make Seryu so depressed, but Ouka the Ogre was of great significance to Seryu. He could be said to have influenced Seryu's way of doing things throughout her life.

"That's understandable..." The man nodded, a look of understanding appearing on his face.

Seryu's master was Ouka, and Ouka held a very high position in Seryu's heart. It could be said that after Seryu's parents died, Ouka was like both her father and mother. So, for Seryu, this was no different from her own parents suddenly being arrested and thrown into prison for breaking the law. It was inevitable that Seryu would find it a bit hard to believe.

Moreover, what made Seryu even more incredulous was that this was the very person who had been breaking the law all along who taught Seryu to execute justice. Honestly, it was quite ironic.

"Don't think too much about it. This kind of person doesn't deserve to be remembered in your heart."

The man patted Seryu on the shoulder and slowly walked into the Imperial Guard's base.

Seryu was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh before slowly following him in.

In a corner that Seryu didn't notice, a slender black shadow flashed past.

At the same time, at this moment, Koizumi, Akame, and Chelsea had already begun to fight with their mission targets.

Chapter 94: Rescue

Lia and Lie were now completely desperate, and it was all because of the Danger Beasts behind them.

They never imagined that the noble who had always taken care of them would be such a vile person, wanting to see their expressions as they fell from hope into despair, and then kill them. This could not simply be described as having a twisted sense of humor.

Lia and Lie were running for their lives, terrified of being caught by the Danger Beasts.

The sound of their footsteps was hurried and frantic, interspersed with the sound of bushes being pushed aside.

At this moment, the clothes they were wearing, although they looked very beautiful, had been torn to shreds by the branches.

Lia held her sister's hand, fleeing haphazardly through the forest.

Although Lia knew that this forest was very dangerous, a habitat for Danger Beasts, she had no choice but to do so today, because all the roads out of this forest had been blocked, and she could only take her sister deeper into it.

Honestly, at this moment, Lia and Lie still felt very incredulous. One second they were still holding great expectations for the future, but the next second they had fallen into a state of despair. It was simply a reversal of heaven and earth.

"Roar roar roar roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The next moment, a series of roars came from behind them, causing Lia and Lie's legs to tremble, and they stumbled and fell to the ground.

At the same time, a huge dinosaur appeared in front of Lia and Lie, roaring angrily.

Speaking of which, is this Jurassic Park? Why are even dinosaur-like Danger Beasts appearing here
