Opening the Second Dimension with FGO Methods

Inferring emotions from thoughts and deducing others' thoughts from emotions is actually quite simple.

Koizumi only needs to sense the other person's emotions to guess what they are thinking at that moment.

Therefore, based on Najenda's current emotions, Koizumi could roughly guess Najenda's mischievous thoughts.

Akame silently nodded, a strong expectation appearing in her crimson eyes. If possible, she hoped these two girls could join Night Raid, even if it was just to do some hard labor.

Seeing Akame like this, Najenda couldn't help but smile wryly, Please don't look at me like that...

"I understand. Then, let it be as you wish, Akame. However, since you've brought them back, you must be responsible for protecting them, understand, Akame?" Najenda seemed very casual, but in reality, she was very serious.

And Akame, of course, nodded very seriously. Since she had brought them back, she would definitely protect them properly.

Akame had always been very serious about things, especially since the other party was someone she had brought back, so how could she not protect them properly? Moreover, Akame was actually very concerned about these twin sisters.

Koizumi just smiled slightly at this and didn't plan to say anything more. Anyway, it was all within the budget.

It wasn't that Koizumi wasn't serious about Lia and Rie, but since there was already Akame, there was no need for him to step in.

And compared to these two girls, Koizumi was actually more concerned about Serenity, who was in the Imperial Capital.

He wondered how the task he had assigned to Serenity was going, and hoped that she had completed the mission safely.

Koizumi sighed slightly in his heart, then slowly walked towards his room.

If Serenity had completed the task, she should have already returned to his room by now.

That's what Koizumi was thinking, so Koizumi planned to go to his room to wait for Serenity.

When Serenity returned, it would be time for him to prepare to go to the Imperial Capital. The information Serenity had gathered would determine whether Koizumi would go to the Imperial Capital to find Seryu. If Seryu insisted on that twisted justice and even became more and more exaggerated, then Koizumi wouldn't need to go to find Seryu. But if Seryu wasn't that exaggerated yet, Koizumi thought it was necessary for him to go and see Seryu.

Then, Koizumi planned to pull Seryu over to his side.

If possible, Koizumi now planned to gather combat power. Anyway, this Singularity would eventually be restored, so he now needed to try his best to win over the combat power in this Singularity that he could.

After fighting with Servants like Serenity and Hundred Personas, Koizumi also realized that relying solely on himself, Reimu, and Hata no Kokoro was still insufficient. In case the other party used a trick to lure Reimu and Hata no Kokoro away, then there would be no combat power on his side.

He had to gather the fighting power that could be gathered together. Even if Seryu's own fighting power wasn't that great, Koro was still very capable, and, more importantly, Koizumi didn't want to be enemies with this girl.

Koizumi knew very well that this girl wasn't inherently bad, it was just that the justice she advocated had become twisted.

It wasn't that this person had a problem, but that the person responsible for teaching Seryu had a big problem.

That Ouka didn't seem like a good person at all. Regardless of how others felt, Koizumi just didn't like this Ouka. He could even say that if he was in his Vampire state, he would definitely have a strong killing intent towards this Ouka.

Actually, when he was in the Imperial Capital, if it wasn't because he didn't have enough time at that time, he would have killed that bastard long ago.

Chapter 100: Intelligence

As Koizumi expected, Serenity was already waiting in Koizumi's room, but it seemed...

Serenity's posture at this moment was a bit off. She was holding Koizumi's own quilt and didn't know what she was doing...

...When was this woman given a perverted attribute... This is obviously not right!

Seriously, if the contract wasn't still in place, Koizumi would have almost thought that this woman had been replaced.

Forget it, in a way, this girl does indeed have some perverted attributes. Isn't actively helping people warm the bed perverted enough?

Koizumi didn't plan to care about this anymore. After all, Serenity was originally this kind of person. Being too concerned would only make him feel guilty.

Instead of that, it was better to quickly ask Serenity about Seryu's recent situation. Tonight, Koizumi planned to take action.

If Seryu hadn't become twisted to that extent, then she would be worth Koizumi going to find her in person.

"Serenity, you're back..." Koizumi slowly stepped forward, his eyes focused on Serenity.

Serenity's eyes suddenly showed a strong surprise, and she quickly turned to look at the door.

Serenity's favorability had already been raised to a certain level by Koizumi, although this wasn't what Koizumi himself wanted to do.

For Serenity, as long as she could touch someone and not die, then Serenity would have enough favorability towards the other person.

Therefore, although Serenity had only just made a contract with Koizumi at this moment, there was no doubt that Serenity's favorability towards equity could be said to be extremely high. Even if she was asked to die herself, Serenity would probably choose to die without hesitation.

This was Serenity's Hassan, though a poisonous woman, she was the kind of person who would die for someone once she had recognized them.

Hassan quickly walked to Koizumi's side, her head slightly lowered, and the fanaticism that surged from her eyes made Koizumi couldn't help but shudder. Come to think of it, he always felt that this woman was also a very terrifying object in some sense.

Fortunately, the time of the contract with her was only until the end of this Singularity. Otherwise, if Serenity also came to Chaldea, Koizumi would inevitably have some worries, after all, her poison was a bit troublesome.

Every part of her body had poison. If one day she touched something or made some dishes, and the dishes were contaminated with poison, and then a group of people in Chaldea were inexplicably poisoned, it wouldn't be fun.

Although Koizumi didn't know why he wasn't poisoned, Reimu and Hata no Kokoro would definitely not be able to withstand this poison.

Although Reimu was a shrine maiden, her power attribute should only be restrained against evil spirits and the like. As for poison... well, strictly speaking, poison wasn't considered an evil spirit, at least this thing was developed by humans.

Although Koizumi wasn't sure what kind of poison Serenity had on her snake skin.

But what was certain was that even Serenity herself couldn't detoxify this poison; otherwise, she wouldn't be like this.

"My Lord! The mission has been completed, Serenity's Hassan reports to you..."

Serenity's tone was very respectful, completely treating Koizumi as a god-like existence.

She was like this, people didn't even report their work tasks to their superiors this seriously, okay?

Only those die-hard fans would show this look and this attitude, which was really very comfortable.

Koizumi naturally couldn't avoid it either, since everyone hopes to be treated with respect by others, but...

Serenity's attitude was also expected; it could be guessed from the moment she called Koizumi "My Lord."

But inevitably, Koizumi still had some very strange feelings in his heart. This is really... never mind, I won't say more.

"Tell me about the recent situation in the Imperial Capital, especially the matters concerning Seryu and Ouka."

Actually, inquiring about the Imperial Capital was just a side note; the situation of Seryu and Ouka was the main point Koizumi wanted to ask about.

After all, knowing that the Imperial Capital is heavily guarded is enough. Frankly speaking, it only affects the seriousness of the infiltration mission.

Besides, Koizumi isn't the kind of guy who's careless about missions. This time, Koizumi will treat the infiltration very seriously.

Subsequently, Serenity began to explain to Koizumi the situation of the Imperial Capital that she had scouted.

Although Leone had given a rough explanation before, different people can see different worlds.

Just like there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts, everyone's perspective on things is different. Therefore, the situation of the Imperial Capital heard from Serenity's mouth is obviously different from the situation of the Imperial Capital from Leone's mouth.

Of course, Koizumi wasn't that concerned about the situation in the Imperial Capital, but when Serenity mentioned the Imperial Guard, even Koizumi was really surprised. He didn't expect that the captain of the Imperial Guard had been replaced by General Bude.

He had a casual fight with Reimu back then, but Reimu thought that General Bude was very unusual.

As for the matter of Reimu saying that General Bude faintly had the aura of a Servant, Koizumi didn't take it to heart. Anyway, he would know sooner or later, so why be so anxious now?

Anyway, Koizumi himself was prepared for a protracted war in this Singularity.

Getting back to the point, Serenity claimed that she had not seen Ouka, but from the evidence of Ouka's crimes that she had collected, Ouka was probably directly executed by General Bude. Seryu has been confused about this matter recently.

A confused girl... it seems I need to run over and give her some guidance, although I'm not qualified to do so. I'm not from this Singularity at all, and I don't seem to be qualified to interfere in anything in this Singularity.

However, this matter was caused by me, so Koizumi believes that he needs to clean up the mess.

Okay, frankly speaking, Koizumi is just looking for an excuse to take action, because without an excuse, he can't get past his own conscience.

But then again, General Bude has taken control of the Imperial Guard. If all the personnel of the Imperial Guard have been purged, then this infiltration might be a bit of a problem.

After all, the people in the Imperial Guard have all been replaced by General Bude's own army...

If they suddenly rush into the Imperial Capital tonight, they will probably be directly attacked by the army led by General Bude. It won't be so easy to deal with at that time, at least that's what Koizumi thinks.

Remilia's power is indeed very strong, but the power of that Bude is obviously not weak either.

It seems I have to think of a way to sneak in...

Then again, if there was Yukari's Gap, there wouldn't be so much trouble...

Chapter 101: Bude's Anomaly

"I didn't expect the Imperial Capital to be so troublesome. General Bude actually took over the Imperial Guard with his own troops. It's indeed extremely difficult to sneak into the Imperial Capital now. General Bude and Esdeath are the strongest in the Empire, according to my estimation, Esdeath needs Akame and nine other Teigu User and an army of 100,000 to deal with, and General Bude is naturally the same. If he is caught by General Bude, it will be terrible, and General Bude's city defense army is not a joke." Najenda heard Serenity's report, and a pair of eyes flashed with deep worry.

She knew that Serenity had her own unique way of infiltrating the Imperial Capital, so she didn't ask how she infiltrated the Imperial Capital.

What worries her now is that General Bude's takeover of the Imperial Guard will cause a lot of trouble for Night Raid when carrying out missions. The past Imperial Guard and General Bude's troops cannot be compared.

If the past Imperial Guard was a pig teammate, then General Bude's troops are god-level opponents.

Seriously, once you face this kind of god-level opponent, even Akame will have difficulty escaping.

What's more, General Bude's troops are numerous. Once they start ganging up, it will be really difficult for Akame to slip away.

It's so difficult for Akame to escape, let alone others, only Bulat is a little better.

Bulat's strength is still very strong, and he is estimated to be the strongest close combat fighter in Night Raid.

The title of "Hundred-Man Slayer" is not a joke. I wonder how his close combat ability compares with Esdeath... Hmm? Wait! Why did I think of Esdeath? I haven't even met that Esdeath.

Why does an ice-blue hair inexplicably appear in my mind when I think of Esdeath... Is that Esdeath?

When have I met that woman? Koizumi couldn't help but press his chin, a pair of eyes flashed a trace of doubt.

When the woman appeared in his mind, Koizumi's body always trembled a little subconsciously.

There is always a feeling that this woman once brought me very painful memories... but I don't hate her in my heart? Do I know that woman? But I have been following Reimu and the others recently, and I have not lost consciousness.

Thinking back to what happened recently, there seems to be nothing strange. If I had amnesia in the middle, then there is no doubt that there should be a problem with my memory. After all, if I have amnesia in the middle, there must be a problem somewhere in my memory.

But these memories have no problem at all, so I don't have amnesia, do I?

Koizumi couldn't help but scratched his head, and Reimu and Hata no Kokoro didn't find any problems, so wouldn't everyone have amnesia together?

Smiling bitterly in his heart, Koizumi couldn't help but shook his head, how is this possible, everyone have amnesia together...

Koizumi's eyes continued to turn to Najenda in front of him, and slowly asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Hey, Najenda, so what are you going to do next? I don't mind going to the Imperial Capital, after all, I have things to do anyway, but Akame and Chelsea are no longer suitable to go with me, right? You know, I can fly, and I can also fight in flight. Chelsea can transform into a flying creature, so don't worry, but Akame can't. If the city gate is locked, Akame won't be able to leave. Even if I can fly with Akame, but if I am intercepted, it will be difficult for me to fight back!" Koizumi's meaning has been expressed very clearly, that is, he only needs to go on the mission alone.

Even if you want to take someone on a mission, you have to take someone reliable, like Chelsea, Koizumi can still protect her if necessary. Serenity, Reimu, and Hata no Kokoro don't need to be brought along. Even if they encounter danger, just use a Command Seal.

By the way, Koizumi really intends to find Seryu. He heard that the Imperial Guard doesn't even allow people to sleep at night recently, so Seryu didn't go home and has been living in the Imperial Guard's base. So if Koizumi wants to find Seryu, he just needs to go to the Imperial Guard's base. As for where the base is, Serenity knows, and she also told Koizumi.

To this, Koizumi can only say that it's inhumane. You have to be moderate in squeezing your subordinates. You actually don't let people sleep.

Although this is a very normal thing, after all, people from places like Peaceful Path Sect have infiltrated the Imperial Capital.

The Empire's attention to this matter can be seen from the fact that General Bude actually personally interfered with the Imperial Guard.

"I know what you mean, but General Bude's personal interference with the Imperial Guard is very strange."

So saying, Najenda couldn't help but furrow her brow, her eyes flashing with deep suspicion.

It was as if there was an unresolvable puzzle in her heart. Koizumi, sensing this emotion beside her, frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with General Budou? Just to be clear, Serenity's intelligence-gathering abilities are quite reliable. At least, there's no mistake in this matter, so if you're questioning the truthfulness of the information, forget it."

Koizumi said plainly, avoiding any unnecessary doubts about the information Serenity had given him.

It was impossible for a Servant who could adapt to the Assassin class to be outdone in their area of expertise. Of course, if the other party was also a Servant, being outdone would be normal, but the other party wasn't a Servant!

Moreover, Serenity approached Seryu, not General Budou. Seryu was very familiar to him.

After all, he had spent about a day with Seryu, and Reimu and Hata no Kokoro also knew Seryu. It couldn't be said that Seryu was actually a Servant, and the three of them, himself, Reimu, and Hata no Kokoro, were all mistaken. The possibility was too low.

"You're not from the Empire, so you don't know this, but the ancestors of General Budou's family left ancestral instructions that their family members must not participate in politics under any circumstances, only be responsible for managing the army and expeditions, etc. The members of the Imperial Guard are all candidates arranged by the Minister, but this time General Budou actually dealt with those people himself. The evidence of those people's crimes was found by General Budou's subordinates, and General Budou himself punished them one by one. This already shows that General Budou has participated in politics!"

Najenda looked at Koizumi in front of her with a solemn expression, explaining the strangeness to him.

"In fact, if General Budou participated in politics, the Empire wouldn't have become so corrupt. At least the Minister wouldn't be able to completely control the court. General Budou has always been upright. If it weren't for the ancestral instructions, he would have killed the Minister long ago!"

Instantly, a hint of understanding flashed in Koizumi's eyes. So that's how it was…

Come to think of it, could there really be something wrong with that General Budou? He remembered Reimu saying that he faintly had the aura of a Servant on him. Could it be… that General Budou had something to do with the Singularities?

It seemed that it was necessary to meet this General Budou…

Chapter 102 Before the Mission

"Hey! Don't keep us waiting, you hear… or I'll blast you with a cannon first!"

Mine looked at Koizumi in front of her, with a hint of displeasure on her face. Maybe it was because she needed to be on a team with Koizumi and had to follow Koizumi's orders, so she felt very unhappy… which was normal.

Koizumi knew very well that Mine was a tsundere, so he tried not to provoke her, because tsunderes had a big temper.

After all, they were going to be working together on a mission, so it would be better to get along as well as possible.

This time, Mine, Sheele, Akame, and Chelsea were going on the mission with Koizumi.

Akame and Chelsea were originally going with Koizumi to carry out this mission. They were thinking of finishing what they had to do. Mine and Sheele were temporarily added by Najenda to help Koizumi evacuate the Imperial Capital.
