Opening the Anime World with FGO Methods

These guards were pathetically weak; the only one left was that fierce man who swore he'd kill me!

The fierce man couldn't help but take a step back, swallowing hard. He truly hadn't expected Koizumi to dispatch so many guards in the blink of an eye, and he hadn't even seen the man's movements clearly.

Reias had completely disappeared from sight, but Koizumi had long since sensed his presence. As long as he didn't escape his perception range, that man would never get away.

There was still some distance to the Imperial Capital's gates. He could grab him in an instant with his speed.

Besides, Chelsea had already vanished, probably to chase after Reias.

"Trying to run!? You're asking for death!!!!!"

A thick excitement welled up in Koizumi's eyes. The Gungnir in his hand instantly transformed into a flash of aurora, as if piercing through space itself, directly punching a massive hole in the man's chest.

The blood that gushed from the bloody hole drenched the fierce man's entire body. His eyes were wide open, a picture of unwillingness in death, utterly grotesque.

The blood-red spear that had pierced the fierce man didn't stop at all, instead blasting forward. The surrounding trees, upon touching the spear, all turned charred black, like charcoal.

Chapter 97: The Sisters' Request

Giving the fierce man's corpse a cursory glance, Koizumi clicked his tongue, not taking him to heart.

Well, yeah. If he were fighting in his normal state, he'd probably have run into trouble long ago.

He was in his [Vampire] state now. [Vampires] themselves were beings who didn't care about human lives.

One could say that [Vampires] used humans as bait, so they wouldn't care about human lives at all.

Influenced by the [Vampire]'s will, Koizumi had, to some extent, picked up some of the [Vampire]'s attitude towards humans.

He didn't seem to have any negative feelings towards the dead, but instead became excited, wanting to devour their blood.

Fortunately, Koizumi's own will was strong enough, otherwise he might have been controlled by the [Vampire]'s will. Koizumi didn't want to do such disgusting things as devouring human blood, after all, Koizumi wasn't a true inhuman species.

"It seems I worried about you too much. At first, I thought you'd have some side effects from killing someone for the first time, but now it seems you're still normal. Maybe you really have a talent for this."

Akame couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing that Koizumi was alright, she felt a little relieved.

It was good that he was okay. She was afraid that Koizumi wouldn't be able to handle the pressure after killing someone for the first time, but now it seemed he was still normal.

Perhaps Koizumi really had a talent for killing people, but having a talent was a good thing.

Koizumi also breathed a slight sigh of relief. To be honest, his current state surprised him.

After all, before the battle, Koizumi had wondered what he would become after killing someone for the first time. Now it seemed that he was even more normal than he had initially expected. Was there something wrong with how he was doing things?

Koizumi scratched his head slightly, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

How strange, but then again, now wasn't the time to think about these things. He should go find Reias first.

He couldn't let that noble Reias get away, no matter what, or there would be problems.

According to his original calculations, after Reias died, he would immediately head to the Imperial Capital. At the same time, Serenity had also investigated matters related to Seryu and Ouka. Koizumi would use the information about Seryu and Ouka to plan his actions within the Imperial Capital.

Moreover, Koizumi also knew that he couldn't be too presumptuous. If he was caught by that general by accident, then it would be terrible.

That general, according to what Akame and the others said, was called General Bude, right? He must be very strong.

An opponent that even Reimu took seriously, so his strength probably wouldn't be weak. After all, Reimu in the Archer class was still very strong. At least, if she got serious, Hata no Kokoro would definitely not be her match. She could take on Night Raid all by herself without any problems, so Koizumi had to be very cautious when facing that Bude.

The next moment, before Koizumi could locate Reias, Chelsea suddenly appeared beside him, grabbing a person. Seeing the person's bruised and swollen face, Koizumi roughly knew what was going on.

"You took care of Reias?" Koizumi asked casually.

Chelsea nodded. She carried many poisonous needles on her body, ready to assassinate at any time.

[Transformation Freely - Gaia Foundation] allowed her to disguise herself as many people who could get close to Reias.

For example, Esdeath, General Bude, or some general of the Empire. In any case, she could get close at any time.

Moreover, when facing a life-or-death situation, Reias wouldn't think so much, he would only know that his lifeline had arrived.

So Chelsea easily got close to him, and then Chelsea killed him with a poisonous needle.

By the way, the bruised and swollen appearance wasn't from Chelsea beating him, but a symptom of poisoning.

A swollen face wasn't necessarily from being beaten up; some poisons could also make people look like that.

But then again, Chelsea carried so many poisonous needles on her body, wasn't she afraid of poisoning herself someday...

You know, poisonous needles were very dangerous, especially when you didn't even know what kind of poison it was.

"How useless, this Reias, to be approached and poisoned to death by you..."

Rolling her eyes at Chelsea, Koizumi expressed his disdain. However, Chelsea felt very unhappy about this.

What do you mean by that? Are you indirectly saying that I'm useless? If you speak so directly, no girl will ever like you... Chelsea glared at Koizumi fiercely, indicating that she was in a bad mood right now!

Koizumi was slightly stunned. Why was Chelsea glaring at him... Did he say something wrong? To die so unjustly, and to be killed by his own assassin who got close to him, wasn't that useless enough? At least, that's what he thought.

But did she think he was indirectly saying that she was useless? But... that seemed to be the truth...

Koizumi couldn't help but complain in his heart. Chelsea was indeed useless to some extent. What use was she besides disguises? Wasn't that right? Once you fought the opponent head-on, wouldn't you be done for?

Slowly, Koizumi walked to Lia and Lie and then squatted down.

"What about you two? What are you planning to do next? Do you have a place to stay or anything?"

Since he had saved these two girls, Koizumi felt that he needed to take good care of them.

And truthfully, Koizumi also believed in seeing things through to the end, giving a helping hand all the way. Though he wasn't exactly a saint, since he'd already extended a hand, he might as well go all the way. It wasn't a big deal.

Lia and Lie exchanged a glance, a hint of confusion surfacing in their eyes.

Honestly, after coming to the Imperial Capital, they'd run out of money. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to stay at Reias's house. So, to be honest, they had nowhere else to go.

If they could, they'd like to find a place where they could live in peace and stability, but they couldn't find one.

Originally, they'd hoped to marry a refined gentleman like Reias. Well, scratch that "refined gentleman" part; they'd completely misjudged him. He was no gentleman at all! He was a devil!

After a moment's thought, Lia and Lie quickly looked at Koizumi, Akame, and Chelsea, and slowly voiced their request.

"Can we come with you?"

Chapter 98: Helping Others All the Way

It must be admitted that sometimes, even wanting to help someone all the way is a difficult thing.

Like with these two girls in front of him, taking them to Night Raid would be extremely troublesome. Not because of anything else, but because it was an assassin organization, not a shelter.

And if he brought them to Night Raid, Koizumi had a strange feeling.

After all, Night Raid's Base of Operations belonged to Najenda. If he didn't ask for their opinion, he'd feel like something was off. At least, Koizumi couldn't make a decision on his own.

Koizumi's eyes turned to Akame and Chelsea beside him, a deep question in his eyes.

These two were key members of Night Raid, and it would be better to tell them in advance.

"Akame, Chelsea, what do you think about this? Does Night Raid need any help with chores?"

At least with these two girls helping out, Night Raid might save a lot of trouble.

Besides, Akame and Chelsea's opinions basically represented Najenda's own opinion.

Akame and Chelsea hesitated for a moment, their gazes fixed on Lia and Lie.

Just then, their eyes met Lia and Lie's expectant gazes.

Now, they didn't know whether they should help these two girls, as they might cause trouble.

Moreover, Night Raid had been in the assassination business for so long, and they hadn't really brought anyone back before.

Even if they had brought people back, it was to expand Night Raid's numbers.

And who could join Night Raid? Generally, if someone with a bit of ability didn't join, then it was someone who had been persecuted in the Imperial Capital and had an unimaginable hatred for evil who joined Night Raid. But even then, they had to have some ability.

But Lia and Lie had no fighting power at all. Besides cooking and laundry, what else could they do?

If they had met these two little girls before Susanoo joined Night Raid, Akame might have considered taking them in. But since Susanoo did all the housework, these two little girls hardly needed to do such things. After all, Susanoo's abilities were more trustworthy.

So, Akame and Chelsea were starting to get a headache. Should they let them join or not?

Helpless, Akame and Chelsea could only look at Koizumi. They didn't know if they should do this.

"Why don't we let them come along? We'll leave the rest to Najenda. After all, no matter how capable Susanoo is at housework, he can't do several people's worth at once. It doesn't make much difference whether Night Raid has one more or one less person, right? Besides, with Night Raid's capabilities, are we afraid we can't support two little girls..."

Looking at Lia and Lie's expressions, Koizumi felt he had to say something. Their expressions were so heartbreaking.

This also proved that Koizumi hadn't been completely influenced by the Vampire's power. Otherwise, with the Vampire's arrogance and attitude towards humans, how could he plead for what they considered food?

Akame and Chelsea were slightly stunned, but nodded in agreement. That was true, Night Raid wasn't unable to support them. Besides, the Night Raid members often had to train. Now that Reimu, Hata no Kokoro, and Koizumi, who could fly, had joined, if they accidentally broke the ceiling or something, someone would have to fix it, right?

At times like this, there was no need to waste Susanoo's power. They could let these two little girls do it.

These two little girls should still be able to do something properly. Actually, to be honest, Akame and Chelsea weren't comfortable letting these two little girls leave just like that. What if they had nowhere to live and had to live in the wilderness? What if they encountered Danger Beasts again? What if they went hungry again? They weren't as capable as Koizumi, Reimu, and Hata no Kokoro.

Of course, Chelsea didn't think so much. It was Akame who was overthinking.

Akame was a big sister herself, and like these two girls, she and Kurome were twin sisters.

So when Akame saw this pair of sisters, Akame's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Therefore, Akame became very concerned about this pair of sisters. If possible, she hoped to take care of them.

Of course, she was a member of Night Raid after all, and everything had to be reported to her boss.

Koizumi slowly stepped forward, walked up to Lia and Lie, and spoke under their expectant gazes.

"We can take you two in, but life here isn't so good, and it's very hard. You might get very tired if you come with us, and you might be hunted down. You can't leave casually. If that's the case, do you still want to come with us?"

Koizumi's words might make many young boys and girls give up.

Life is hard, you have to be hunted down, and you don't have much freedom... But in the eyes of the two girls in front of him, this was already very good, because they understood that if they left directly here, they might still die.

Danger Beasts could be found anywhere outside the Imperial Capital. Even if they were lucky enough to get to another city, without any relatives or friends, they would only starve to death in the end, because they had no food and no money.

So now they could only choose to follow Koizumi and the others, because by following them, they might survive.

As for a hard life, being hunted down, and not having much freedom... These were not problems for them.

Because they might die at any time, but by following them, the chance of dying was very low.

All of this was so that they could live well.

Seeing the desire to survive in their eyes, Koizumi nodded in his heart. That's right, everything had to be based on survival. Since these two little girls still had the desire to live, it wouldn't hurt to help them.

Anyway, Night Raid didn't mind taking care of two more little girls.

Najenda probably wouldn't have any objections either, at least that's how Koizumi understood Najenda.

Besides, now that they've seen Night Raid's Base of Operations, Najenda and the others won't let them leave. Koizumi is counting on this outcome. Since they won't return Lia and Lie, they'll definitely keep those two girls here.

Chapter 99: Akame's Expectations

"Oh? So, you rescued these two girls, but you're worried about their safety, so you plan to leave them with Night Raid, is that right?" Najenda asked, looking at Akame and the other two with interest.

Especially Akame. It was rare for Akame to agree with such a proposal, which Najenda found quite amusing.

Of course, it was just amusement. Akame rarely showed this side of herself.

Najenda was well aware of Akame's thoughts. Akame felt guilty about her sister, Kurome, because she had abandoned her in the corrupt Empire when she defected. Later, she had intended to take her sister with her, but Kurome had been brainwashed by the Empire and wouldn't listen to her.

Now, the hatred between Akame and Kurome ran deep, and only one of them could survive in the end.

Seeing this pair of sisters, and twin sisters at that, Akame was probably reminded of Kurome.

Moreover, Najenda had her own ideas about what to do with these two sisters: keep them here and put them to work. After all, now that they've seen Night Raid's Base of Operations, how could she let them leave so easily?

Kill them? That's going too far. Night Raid isn't a terrorist organization; they wouldn't kill them.

Besides, she had to consider Akame's feelings and protect these two sisters.

After all, she was the one who persuaded Akame to defect, so ultimately, she was largely responsible for the hatred between Akame and Kurome.

Najenda also felt a sense of guilt about this. If she hadn't persuaded Akame, Akame wouldn't have defected from the Empire, and she wouldn't have fallen out with Kurome. Even if Akame had realized the Empire's corruption and eventually defected anyway, perhaps her relationship with Kurome wouldn't have become like this.

After all, if it were Akame, she would have chosen to stay by her sister's side and work on Kurome's mindset first.

Once she had worked on her sister's mindset, Akame might have been able to defect from the Empire together with Kurome.

So, Najenda still felt a great deal of guilt towards Akame for what happened back then.

Bearing this guilt, Najenda wouldn't say much and would directly agree with Akame's behavior.

The reason she asked so pointedly was simply out of a little personal interest. After all, it was rare to see Akame like this, and it would be a waste not to observe Akame's flustered state.

Well, actually, Najenda also had a bit of a mischievous side, which was quite speechless.

Koizumi glanced at Najenda and shook his head slightly. He had inherited part of Hata no Kokoro's power and could sense the emotions within others, so how could Koizumi not know what Najenda was thinking?
