"Thank you!" Looking at Shirai Kuroko with a smile, Misaka Mikoto still felt deeply grateful in her heart.

Although compared to others, Shirai Kuroko didn't help much, but even after her memory was erased, Shirai Kuroko still had a certain impression of herself. This alone was enough for Misaka Mikoto to be grateful for.

In response, Shirai Kuroko chuckled and shook his head, looking up at the sky.

"Kuroko is onee-sama's concubine, this is what I should do!"

"Also, when he was alive, Kuroko couldn't stand on the same field and fight hand in hand with Onee-sama, but now it's different. Kuroko has gained the power to stand on the same platform with Onee-sama! Kuroko, I've said before, to protect the smile on Onee-sama's face, no matter how many times, I, Kuroko, can stand up again... So, Onee-sama, all you have to do is smile!"

Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto was slightly startled, and a graceful arc passed across the corners of her mouth from the bottom of her heart.

The next moment, little bits of light began to rise from Kuroko's body, but no one present was surprised by this.

After all, this is something that will happen sooner or later. It is a blessing to be able to hold on until now and then exit.

"It's time to say goodbye... Onee-sama, and... Koizumi-kun..."

As he spoke, Shirai Kuroko looked at Koizumi, who was acting as a third wheel, and slowly spoke, "If you need any help, please feel free to call upon me, Kuroko... As the Judgment Committee member, I will definitely contribute my part!"

"Well...see you again if we're lucky, Shirai-san..." Koizumi nodded slightly.

"Your expression is quite dull, can't you show some reluctance... Koizumi-kun..."

Shirai Kuroko couldn't help but roll his eyes, but——

"After all, I've been through quite a few singularities, and this isn't the first time I've experienced separation from Heroic Spirits. If I'd been reluctant to leave them all day, I'd have developed depression a long time ago... In our line of work, anyone who doesn't manage their emotions would have been eliminated long ago, right?" Koizumi said unhappily. "Who do you think I am? I can manage my emotions perfectly!"

"Besides, all good things must come to an end. Sooner or later, we'll meet again..."

"That's true..." Heizi chuckled and slowly disappeared from the sight of the two people.

As she quietly watched Kuroko disappear, Mikoto felt somewhat lonely.

"There's no need to show that expression. After that thing was taken away, the rules that permeated this world disappeared. All those who forgot about you have regained their memories. Isn't the Shirai Kuroko of this world still there? There's no need for you to pretend you don't know them. You already have this kind of power, so there's no need to stay away from them..."

To some extent, Koizumi could understand the other party's desire to let go of his feelings. It was precisely because he had no feelings that he didn't reveal any flaws. He stayed away from Shirai Kuroko and the others, letting them forget about him, and also to avoid getting them involved.

No, maybe there is still hope that they can stop themselves. Misaka Mikoto Alter may have regretted cooperating with that shadow a long time ago, so she did this... When they stop themselves, their hearts will not be affected by unnecessary emotions, because they don't remember themselves, right?

"I should thank you too, Master..." Before Mikoto could finish, Koizumi waved his hand.

"Since you call me Master, isn't it my duty to help my Servant..."

Upon hearing this, Misaka Mikoto scratched her head. After being told this by the other party, she didn't know what to say.

Should I call him a nice guy? But compared to a true nice guy, Koizumi is nothing.

After all, compared to a true nice guy, Koizumi's kindness is limited to those around him who care about him and who can bring him benefits. Rather than saying that he is a nice guy, it is better to say that he is a "selfish" person.

"Since you won't disappear, then protect your sisters well. The outer world is also where the gods reside. If possible, you can also try to make a deal with those mysteries. Maybe you can even resurrect your dead sisters... Come on... Although it may not be of much help to you, I will bless you with success in Chaldea..."

Saying this, Koizumi put his hands in his pockets and slowly left the place.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Misaka Mikoto's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Chaldea, maybe we can go over and take a look..."

As she said this, Misaka Mikoto's posture began to change.

There were flashes of electricity on his body, like two pieces of silk wrapped around his body. His eyes were one black and one white, and there was even electricity released from his eyes.

This is--

Misaka Mikoto Alter!

Chapter 771 Shokuhou Misaki's Invitation

Well, Misaka Mikoto did succeed. She did merge with Misaka Mikoto Alter, and it was Misaka Mikoto's own will that was the driving force. However, Koizumi and the others made a mistake. They all thought that Misaka Mikoto Alter's idea was to make a deal with that shadow, so Misaka Mikoto Alter was eager to defeat Koizumi and the others.

But the truth is, Misaka Mikoto Alter does have the idea of ​​defeating Koizumi and the others, but she also regrets making a deal with that black shadow in her heart. However, things have come to this point, and she can't change anything, so she prays for an external force to overturn the power on her side, and this external force is undoubtedly Koizumi and the others.

After the fusion, Misaka Mikoto also understood the will of Misaka Mikoto Alter. The two reached an agreement and completely merged together. So the Misaka Mikoto in front of them is both the one that Koizumi and others know, and the one who is the enemy of Koizumi and others.

But in reality, Misaka Mikoto Alter doesn't take the fact of being an enemy of Koizumi seriously.

After all, Misaka Mikoto Alter only attacked Koizumi because of the deal, but now that the deal is gone, the idea of ​​them being enemies no longer exists. Coupled with the emotional fluctuations coming from Misaka Mikoto, Misaka Mikoto Alter naturally let go of the matter and prepared to follow her inner feelings and get along well with Koizumi.

Koizumi and the others were leaving soon anyway, weren't they? However, out of curiosity about Koizumi, Misaka Mikoto Alter also began to feel a certain curiosity about the Chaldea Koizumi mentioned. If possible, should they go there and take a look?

After all, for Misaka Mikoto Alter, having already reached the power to travel to the outside world, it is not difficult for her to create a clone so that she can be recorded on the realm record tape.

Moreover, he and Koizumi have already formed a bond. With this power, he can easily come to Chaldea.

It's just that it may take some time, and I won't be able to come to Chaldea in a short time.

Oh right! How about using a human as a test subject first? Misaka Mikoto Alter's eyes lit up slightly.

At this moment, she seemed to have seen the honey-haired guy who invited Koizumi to the school garden.

Anyway, our relationship isn't that great, so it's no big deal to trick the other person...

As she thought about this, Misaka Mikoto Alter had already started to make plans.

And at this moment, just as Misaka Mikoto Alter saw, after separating from Misaka Mikoto Alter, Koizumi bumped into Shokuhou Misaki... Well, it can't be said that he bumped into her, because Shokuhou Misaki had originally planned to wait for Koizumi here.

She knew Koizumi was leaving soon, and it would be a lie to say she had nothing she wanted to do.

After all, she'd been with Koizumi for a while, and they weren't even close friends, so she had to admit, Shokuhou Misaki's feelings for him were a little strange...

"Koizumi-kun..." Shokuhou Misaki greeted Koizumi, but—

"You came here just to stop me, didn't you... Shokuhou..." Koizumi was speechless.

If Koizumi still couldn't see what the other party was up to, then he would be a complete idiot.

Maybe the other party has no ill intentions, but he definitely intends to block us here.

But in fact, even if Shokuhou Misaki didn't come to find me, I would take the initiative to go to her.

After all, I'm about to leave, and it wouldn't be nice not to say hello to the other person, so I'll go over and say hello no matter what.

"Since we're almost leaving, I suddenly remembered that I haven't taken Koizumi-kun to the school garden yet, so I came here to invite Koizumi-kun to join the young lady for afternoon tea. I wonder if Koizumi-kun is interested..."

Shokuhou Misaki looked at Koizumi with a smile on her face, even though she felt that it looked strange.

"Afternoon tea..." Koizumi couldn't help but cover his forehead, because this time the singularity was different. Usually the singularity would enter a correction state after the Holy Grail was taken away. If Koizumi stayed there, it might affect the correction of the singularity. However, this time was completely different. Strictly speaking, there was no correction this time, because Koizumi helped the other party move the singularity to the outside of the world to avoid any abnormalities in the world, so there was basically no need to worry.

Koizumi can stay here for a while longer, and there will be no problem returning to Chaldea after that.

It's just that after returning to Chaldea, I basically can't come here anymore, but that's not a big problem.

After all the singularities are resolved, Koizumi also plans to visit Gensokyo outside the world.

I'll stop by Academy City when the time comes. I believe Zi won't stop me...

only--

"How can this be considered afternoon tea? It's still evening..." Koizumi rolled his eyes.

"It's okay. You can go to the school garden or my dorm. I'm also quite curious about Chaldea... Besides, don't you, Koizumi-kun, have any curiosity about the school garden? It's the young lady's paradise..."

Shokuhou Misaki covered her mouth and chuckled, as if she wanted to see Koizumi's embarrassed side.

Koizumi simply shrugged at this. Although curious, Koizumi always put business first.

Although I had planned to go to the school garden before, I missed it because of Sumireko.

But it doesn't matter. Since Shokuhou Misaki has invited me over, there's nothing wrong with going over and taking a look.

"I admit, I'm a little curious. After all, it's a famous place. Plus, that lady fanatic Hatsuharu is so envious of it, so I'm a little curious about it. Since Shokuhou has invited me, I'll respectfully obey." Koizumi said with a chuckle. Since he probably wouldn't be able to come anymore, it wouldn't be a big deal if he went over to take a look.

"Well then, Koizumi-kun—please…" Shokuhou Misaki said this and began to lead Koizumi.

While Koizumi entered the school garden, Yakumo Yukari stayed in her own crevice to analyze the fragments.

That’s right, it’s the fragment containing the rules of another world that Koizumi gave to Yakumo Yukari before.

It has the power of rules, and at the same time, it also has an extremely powerful force against rules...

According to Yakumo Yukari's analysis, the power of this fragment plays a more fixed and balanced role, allowing this power to be used by people. However, this fragment is very dangerous, and it also contains the specific coordinates of a world...

"It's an existence of that size... Our little Master can't touch it for the time being... And these coordinates..."

Yakumo Yukari muttered to herself, and a faint light appeared in her pair of sparkling eyes.

"It's a bait..."

Volume: Interlude (3) — Absolute Imperial Realm: Empire

Prologue: The eternal empire is nothing but a dream!

This is a huge palace. Without a doubt, this is the imperial palace. On both sides of the throne stand people one after another. If there is a magician here at this moment, he will be able to sense it.

——Those are all Servants!

In the center of the servants on both sides, just below the throne, stood a very embarrassed young man.

His entire body was drenched in blood, and his already small frame looked particularly fragile in this situation.

Holding a wooden staff similar to a scepter in his hand, oppressive magic power was released from the young man.

Glancing at the surroundings, the boy couldn't help but reveal a slightly sarcastic smile.

Although he knew that he would definitely lose, he didn't expect that he would lose so completely. As expected, whether he was an emperor or a servant, he would undoubtedly lose miserably. It was really hard to laugh.

But I can't admit defeat now. After all, I have fought to this point. How can I give up so easily?

As he thought about this, a half-sized giant Gundam began to appear behind the boy.

A huge amount of magic power began to gather and bombarded towards the throne in front of him. His target was the person sitting on that seat!

The servants on both sides did not move at all, but just watched the boy's behavior indifferently.

It was as if the life or death of the person in that position had no impact on them.

but--

Along with the sound of breaking through the air, a cold light flashed, and the sharp sword directly pierced the boy's chest.

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and the magic power gathered behind the young man instantly dissipated, and even half of the Gundam suddenly disappeared.

Slowly, strange, pure black characters began to spread from the sword towards the boy's body.

Intense pain spread throughout his body, the boy's pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly pulled out the sword from his body.

Blood splattered as the young man threw the sword away. He used the wooden stick in his hand, which was like a scepter, to maintain his balance, but it was still useless. The unknown black text continued to spread throughout his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A wry smile appeared on his face, and the boy glanced at the sword briefly before speaking slowly.

"Imperial weapon, one-hit kill, Murasame..."

That's right, that's Akame's Noble Phantasm. If you're hit by it, unless you have an incredibly high resistance to magic or possess the skills to fight curses, it's impossible to withstand the curse of the Noble Phantasm.

The young man was naturally very familiar with the names of these imperial instruments, because he was the master of this empire!

No, it's too arrogant to say I'm the master of these empires now... After all, I already think I'm unworthy of being the master of this empire, so I changed my job and appeared here...

But now, he was injured like this by his own Noble Phantasm. It turned out that he was not qualified to be either an emperor or a servant... But, after all, it was my own fault, so I had to solve it myself...

"Aren't you giving up yet?" A majestic voice came slowly from the throne.

This made the young man slightly startled. To be honest, the other party's sudden words really scared him.

After all, the other party hasn't said a word so far, just sitting there waiting for his attack.

But then again, the opponent was able to knock me down even when sitting on it, so how bad is my servant level?

Inexplicably, the boy said that he could accept any criticism... There was nothing he could do, the fact was that he was really not that good!

Unlike himself as an emperor, the boy would humbly accept his mistakes, and the current situation was that the facts slapped him in the face. He challenged the opponent and was defeated by the opponent with his own strength. The boy has already realized the gap between himself and the opponent.

and--

Glancing at the surrounding palace, the boy's eyes flashed with a gleam, but he didn't say anything.

"I thought you couldn't speak. You're pretending to be so dignified, but it's meaningless..."

Although he was still suffering from the pain brought by the curse and his injuries had not healed, the young man was still like a child, with an innocent smile. He looked at the person sitting on the throne in front of him and slowly spoke.

It should be said that this is his true personality. He has the potential to be a wise ruler, but since he is not the emperor at this time, his personality appears to be very friendly. Strictly speaking, he does not have the majesty of an emperor, but is more like the immaturity and innocence of a child.

As the young man finished speaking, a majestic voice came from the throne again.

"There's no need to waste words with you. As an emperor, there's no need to care about the thoughts of a rebel..."

"You really have the thinking of a tyrant... After all, my father said that only those who can conquer their opponents with their magnanimity can be considered excellent emperors. You are like this, you have been led astray by the ministers..." The young man couldn't help but say this helplessly.

"The one who needs to be convinced is someone who can be convinced with his magnanimity, and you are just a pure rebel..."
