Then he turned around and bowed deeply to Gu Quan, which made Gu Quan slightly startled.

"Although this behavior is unbecoming of an emperor, I still want to thank you personally!"

The little emperor stood up, smiled, and continued to explain.

"I'm a new Servant, and we were once your enemies. Yet, you're willing to trust me under these circumstances. I still have an old illness, and I haven't told anyone about Miss Doremi. Yet, you're still willing to put your safety in my hands. I'm truly grateful. Even General Bud, though loyal, was loyal to the Empire and the Emperor, not to me personally. He had regrets, but they were also regrets for not being able to serve as the pillar of the Empire to the end."

"But you are different. You trust me, not a country, but me as an individual. You knew I might betray you, or even scheme against you, but you didn't have the slightest doubt. Even when I showed some doubts along the way, you didn't pursue them. You just kept placing your trust in me, letting me experience the feeling of being trusted for the first time. I was clearly just an unqualified emperor, an unqualified servant. Not only did I not help you at all along the way, but I almost got you killed..."

The little emperor had a smile on his face, but tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. Gu Quan was not interacting with him as a subject, nor in any other capacity. He was simply a friend, simply placing his trust in him. For this reason alone, Gu Quan occupied a unique position in the little emperor's heart, a position different from Bud's, but definitely not inferior to Bud's.

Seeing the little emperor's silly look, Gu Quan couldn't help but smile.

"You're still a child!"

"Who is a child? I can be the emperor now!" said the little emperor dissatisfiedly.

"Emperor still sheds tears, don't you know that men don't shed tears easily?"

"Then there's another sentence after that: it's just that I haven't reached the point of sadness yet!"

"Hey! You're crying and you think you're right!"

……

The two of them chatted with each other like old friends, and the sadness in their hearts gradually dissipated.

"Aren't you going to Chaldea with me?" Koizumi asked curiously.

"No! I don't want to leave like this. It's really unbecoming of an emperor!"

"How do you plan to go there?" Koizumi couldn't help but laugh.

You are just like that, how can you be so proud of yourself?

The little emperor didn't say anything else. He just looked at Gu Quan and asked a question in return.

"Hey, Master, your Chaldea will surely be filled with countless powerful Heroic Spirits, Emperors more qualified than me, and Servants more powerful than me. You will definitely not be short of such beings in your future battles. By then, will you still need... or rather, will you still welcome an unqualified Emperor or Servant like me?"

The young emperor knew exactly how much he was capable of. Without the Supreme Imperial Artifact and the will of his ancestors, he was nothing. Compared to those who became emperors or kings through their own strength, he was simply weak. However, even so, he still wanted to do his part for Guquan.

However, he was more concerned about Koizumi's thoughts.

"Not only are they welcome, they're needed. Everyone has their own strengths, and aren't you no different? Didn't your commanding abilities shine through when you were dealing with Dr. Fashion? You have your own strengths and areas of expertise! You are you, not someone else. You have your own uniqueness. Don't let the brilliance of others distract you from your own."

"——You are also the emperor!"

Hearing this, the little emperor laughed!

Volume: Interlude (3) — Final Blockade of the Four Seas: Oceanus

Chapter 902: When did Mahjong appear in Chaldea?

"Hello! Master! You're finally back!"

In Archer Reimu's room, Marisa, Archer Reimu, Remlia, and Ruler Reimu actually started playing mahjong. Speaking of which, where did mahjong come from in Chaldea? Who invented this thing?

Ibaraki? That guy is unlikely. He's not some kind of mahjong player, not someone who practices as an immortal every day. This kind of mahjong behavior doesn't fit her style! And he has a lot of things to do now, so he probably doesn't have time for this.

Modoro? Could that guy have some kind of mahjong-playing godhood? Uh... unlikely. Modoro Okina's divinity is also quite ancient, blessed with various divine attributes, so his essence must be even more ancient. So... mahjong shouldn't have existed in that era...

Yakumo Yukari? That's not right! That girl shouldn't be in Chaldea right now! Even if she came back, she wouldn't be doing this when she's full and has nothing better to do... As expected, I still can't guess. The people of Gensokyo don't have common sense...

"What's wrong?" Patchouli slowly walked over to Koizumi and asked curiously.

"Why did you come out of your room? Aren't you usually staying in the library?"

Koizumi just came back. According to Modaro, Doremi greeted them and they didn't react much. So they were so calm when they saw Koizumi coming back. This made Koizumi complain to Doremi in his heart, "Why didn't you tell me when you sold me out? I was the only one who didn't know you sold me out. I was very unhappy."

By the way, after Koizumi came back, Meikou immediately went to pick a fight with Kaguya, and Yagi Eirin also went to see Kaguya. The remaining Ibuki Suika went to see Ibaraki Hanaogi. The two seemed to know each other, but Suika used to live in Hakurei Shrine, so when Koizumi was about to help her arrange a room, she said that she lived with Reimu, and Koizumi was too lazy to care.

As for Yuyuko Saigyouji, she saw Youyuko (Saigyoyo) and Youmu as soon as she came back, and then Yuyuko Saigyouji pulled Youyuko (Saigyoyo) and Youmu away. Seeing Youmu's excited look, Koizumi was also very relieved.

Although Youmu serves Youmu as her own master, Youmu actually knows in her heart that Youmu is not the one she serves, and there is still a big difference between them.

But now that Yuyuko Saigyouji has arrived, Youmu can finally feel at ease.

As for the Hakurei shrine maiden, Koizumi had no idea of ​​her origins, and she seemed to have been following him in spirit form, seemingly with no intention of leaving him. More importantly, Koizumi sensed that she had some agitation when she saw Modaro Okina, Reimu, and Marisa. Although Koizumi was curious, he didn't say anything.

According to Koizumi's guess, she should be a Hakurei shrine maiden of a certain generation, and may have lost her memory.

It's not impossible for a Heroic Spirit to lose their memories of their previous lives, but it would only happen under very special circumstances, so Koizumi had to find an opportunity to ask Modara or Yakumo Yukari privately.

"Don't make it sound like I'm a real stay-at-home girl, okay? I like reading, but that doesn't mean I'll stay in the library all day. When I was in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I would go out of the library too! It was just that the number of times was very rare... Besides, I told you, I still went to the party after the incident was over, so I'm not a stay-at-home girl!"

Patchouli seemed very unhappy with Koizumi calling her a nerd, which is why she retorted like this.

For some reason, Patchouli always seems to be inexplicably concerned about the impression she makes on Koizumi.

Especially after the incident in Rome, even though Koizumi teased her, Patchouli just couldn't get angry.

Furthermore, Patchouli will have other thoughts based on some of Koizumi's unintentional words. For example, if Koizumi says that he fights in his pajamas, Patchouli will think about whether she should change her clothes (change her job).

This is how these smart women think. They can associate a casual remark with other things.

"Okay, okay! Just assume you're not a homebody. I just said the wrong thing. Can you tell me what these four people are doing?"

What do you mean by "just treat me as not a homebody"? I'm definitely not a homebody! Besides, as a witch, I must not stop studying magic. I stay in the library to study my Seven Stars magic.

"Playing mahjong... It is said that it was invented by Yakumo Yukari, for people like Reimu who like to idle around, to prevent her from starving to death!" Patchouli said lightly.

"Will she still starve to death? Isn't Reimu quite popular?"

Koizumi knew he was talking about Archer Reimu. Ruler Reimu was quite hardworking.

"You don't know, in the past, only Akame and the others would give Reimu incense money. Now Akame and the others have suddenly disappeared. How can Reimu's incense money be enough to buy food in the cafeteria? So after Yakumo Yukari came back, she has been eating dirt all day!"

Patchouli's words left Koizumi speechless, but what she said next left him even more speechless.

"But after Yakumo Yukari launched Mahjong, Reimu's hands are cramping from counting money. It's said that Remi brought people from the Scarlet Devil Mansion here to play Mahjong with Reimu, but because of Reimu's luck, she lost miserably. Ever since she first came, Remi has been coming to play Mahjong with Reimu every day. Sometimes I even ask her to join us when we're short of three people. But now it's different. Before, there was only one Reimu, and if she was lucky, she would win some money. Now all three of Gensokyo's luckiest people are here, and Remi has been losing miserably lately! It's caused Sakuya Mirei and the others to make extra money for the Scarlet Devil Mansion all day long. After all, they're not that rich now!"

That’s right, this is Chaldea, not Gensokyo, and Remlia is not the tall, rich and handsome man she used to be (as Remi calls herself).

Koizumi no longer wanted to complain about Miss Remi's self-proclaimed name. He could barely accept the fact that she was rich and handsome. After all, in Gensokyo, Miss Remi was indeed a wealthy person. Although her dignity had faded now, she was still very handsome when she pretended to be a majestic lady occasionally. Everyone agreed with this. However...what exactly was so great about this little Loli who was only 1.42 meters tall?

"Hehe... Isn't Miss Remi the demon who controls fate? Fate is definitely superior to luck, right? Why did she lose so miserably?" Koizumi chuckled.

"I don't know about that. Her ability should be to make others miserable without them realizing it, but Reimu and Marisa are completely unaffected. I think... she might have been a little crazy these past few days, and her ability has mutated!"

Patchouli spoke a bunch of nonsense in a serious manner, causing Koizumi to roll his eyes.

"By the way, have you seen Selyu? I need something from her!"

That's right, this is the first thing Koizumi has to deal with when he returns.

Chapter 903: Sai Liu is autistic

"Celyu unlocked her ability and became a cyborg. Not wanting Mr. Koizumi to see her like that, she chose to self-destruct, perishing alongside the Elite Seven..."

This is the information that Kurohime told Koizumi when he asked about Celia. By the way, after returning to Chaldea, Celia went back to look for Akahime immediately. Kurohime will probably stay at Akahime's place for a few days.

As for whether Koizumi had any objections, of course he didn't. Koizumi only arranged rooms for them and didn't stipulate that they couldn't live together. After all, Koizumi wasn't the kind of person who was tough. He hadn't even solved his own problems yet, so why would he get involved in other people's affairs?

Let Akagi and Kuroi handle it themselves. After all, they have such a good relationship, so there’s nothing wrong with them living together.

At most, there will be an empty room, although there is a high possibility that Chelsea will take the opportunity to steal things.

By the way, I don’t know what happened when Chelsea came back. She just smiled at me and then slipped away.

Recalling the ambiguous atmosphere of their previous conversation, Koizumi couldn't help but shudder. Would she become another Kiyohime? After all, Kiyohime had tried to help him many times before, but luckily he had been able to hold back. Otherwise...

After Koizumi finished asking Patchouli about Celyu, he went to look for her.

"It seems that Seryu locked herself in her room as soon as she came back and refused to come out. We have no idea!"

After all, Patchouli and the others were unfamiliar with Cell, so this was perfectly normal, and Koizumi understood.

Not to mention them, even Akame and the others rarely communicate with Patchouli and the others. The only person who can talk to Akame and Kurome about coming from Gensokyo, besides Reimu and Qin Xin, is Remlia, who fought with them in the later period.

However, Remlia still did not take the initiative to look for this group of people, and they only met during meals.

Therefore, these servants in Chaldea also have their own circles of activities. For example, Akame, Kurome, Celia and Chelsea are in one circle. Now, it is estimated that Main, Ciel and Leone should be added. Then the group of people in Gensokyo are in one circle, the group of people in the first singularity, Orleans, are in one circle, and so on. Only the city management and Marisa, who are outgoing, can mix with people in these circles for a short time. They belong to any circle.

By the way, Esdeath should be able to fit into that circle, just based on her belligerent personality, hehe...

"This girl is so withdrawn. I have to find a chance to take her out for a walk!"

Koizumi didn't see Seryuu because he was turned away and the girl actually locked herself in her room.

She probably guessed that Hei Tong would tell her about her, and once this skill of Sailu is unlocked, she can no longer lock it, which means that Sailu will always be in this cyborg state.

Regarding this, Sailu has been feeling depressed, and also a little worried and scared.

As a result, the girl refused to leave the house, leaving Gu Quan speechless.

"Master (Newcomer, Younger Brother, Mr. Koizumi)!"

Koizumi stood at the door of Seryuu and was about to leave when he heard a different voice coming from beside him.

Akame, Kurome, Maine, Leone, Hill, Chelsea... Look, except for those men, all the members of Night Raid are here. No, there is one missing, Najeshita. She was almost expelled from the female category.

"Why are you here?" Although Koizumi could guess, he still wanted to ask.

"Come and see Sailu... I heard from Hei Tong that Sailu has become withdrawn, so I must come and see..."

It's rare for Main to be so frank, but it's normal for her to be frank with her friends.

"I heard that Seryuu is like this because of the memories of that original world line, so I wanted to come over and comfort him!"

Hill also knew that she was killed by Celyu in the original world line, so her words of comfort would definitely be effective.

"Besides, this might be the only way I can help..."

That’s right, in Hill’s mind, the only way he could help was to comfort people.

After all, in daily life, Hill's naivety has caused a lot of jokes.

Although in Guquan's eyes, Hill was not that exaggerated, she just had a bit of an inferiority complex.

"Actually, I was wrong too, Mr. Koizumi. If I had been able to go over and help sooner at that time, there would have been no need for Celia to break the seal. Don't blame Celia..." There was no doubt that Kuroito regarded Celia as a companion. If that was the case, then she also had to consider Celia. After all, in Kuroito's opinion, Celia acted like this purely because she was worried that Koizumi would reject her.

However, Kuroneko felt that Sairu was making a big deal out of nothing. Koizumi was not that kind of person at all.

Like me, I'm using the bodies of the dead. Isn't that even more disrespectful to the deceased? From a power perspective, it's undoubtedly very evil. But I haven't seen how Koizumi treats me, so this is purely a waste of worry.

"Don't worry, I have no objection to Selyu's cyborg appearance. Power is neither good nor bad. As long as it can be used well, it is good for oneself. It's just that this girl can't get over this hurdle..."

Koizumi was helpless. He hadn't said that he hated Cyborg, so if he was going to accept her, he would definitely accept her wholeheartedly. How could there be any big problem?

Akame and the others' eyes lit up. Koizumi's words really hit the nail on the head. Power is not good or bad; it depends on the user.

"Saiyu, excuse me for a moment. I'm going to go look for Zi. It seems that guy is back, and I want to ask him something!"

Yakumo Yukari is back, which means her research on that thing has yielded results. Koizumi needs to inquire about it. Furthermore, Yakumo Yukari's power has reached a certain level. If Celia truly can't overcome this, Koizumi will have no choice but to have her seal that ability. Otherwise, what else can Koizumi do? Is he going to send Celia back to Valhalla and summon her again? How could such a thing be possible?

Akame and the others nodded. They knew Koizumi was busy, so they didn't force him to care about Sailu with them.

Caring is Koizumi's duty, but he can't force him to do it if he doesn't want to. After all, Koizumi also has important things to do.

No one present was the type to forget the big things because of small things.

Chapter 904 Ritsuka is really not mature enough...

"Huh!? You said Ritsuka and the others went to the singularity together! Why are you so anxious? You won't even wait for me!"

Koizumi looked at Yakumo Yukari in front of him with a confused look on his face. It seemed that this girl had just come from Chaldea on the other side.

By the way, it is said that when he just came here, he saw Esdeath who was looking for an opponent, so he helped her find a clear way.

According to Yakumo Yukari, she should have introduced Suika to Esdeath because she also met Suika and Hanasu on the way.

Huashan didn't look happy when she saw Yakumo Yukari, and Yakumo Yukari didn't intend to tell Koizumi the reason.

Suixiang invited Yakumo Yukari to have a drink with a welcoming look on her face, but Yakumo Yukari refused with a smile, saying that she had other important things to do.

So after that, he met Esdeath, and asked Esdeath to challenge Suika in a duel, probably to watch the show.

Koizumi doesn't think Esdeath can beat Suika. Although they are both top-level servants, there are differences between the top ones.

The Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan are extremely powerful, and Suixiang and Hoshiguma Yugi are especially famous for their strength. They are the type that can break through any skill with one force.

If Esdeath really fought with Suika, she would probably be in trouble. Koizumi had witnessed Suika's terrifying power with his own eyes.

Even Koizumi was speechless when faced with the pure embodiment of power like Suika.

Without a doubt, this kind of enemy is what Koizumi least wants to deal with, as any technique he uses will be rendered useless.

Of course, if it's someone whose strength and skills have reached the extreme, Koizumi really doesn't know how to deal with it.
