Use FGO to open the second dimension

Back to the point, Koizumi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Reimu. After all, Reimu's eyes...

Forget it, I won’t say anything more. I’ll just eat in silence. If I say more, I’m afraid I’ll be beaten to death.

She had been beaten badly this morning. In fact, if Koizumi hadn't stopped Jingmi, Jingmi and Reimu would have had a hand-to-hand fight on the spot. No... Jingmi has poison in her body, and Reimu knows this, so she probably won't fight Jingmi in hand-to-hand combat.

Akame and the others looked at Koizumi and Reimu with strange expressions. It seemed like they were the ones who caused what happened this morning?

But then again, Jingmi seems to be very close to Koizumi. Is it just their imagination?

Of course, Baimao remained quite calm. She expected Jingmi to sign a contract with Koizumi. Others might not know Jingmi's life story, but as a fellow "Old Man of the Mountain," how could she possibly not know?

So when she knew that Gu Quan was completely immune to Jingyi's poison, she guessed this would happen.

Qin Xin still had this expressionless face, just sitting quietly beside Gu Quan and eating, not paying attention to the unusual silence.

She might be the person with the least worries. Compared to Koizumi and Reimu, Qin Xin only cares about the mask.

"Mr. Koizumi, could you please tell me when the amulet issue will be resolved?"

Najeshitan saw that the atmosphere in the air was a bit solemn, so Najeshitan planned to use a topic to attract attention.

But then again, your topic isn't that attractive at all; it might just make the atmosphere even more depressing.

Talking about serious matters is never easy, okay... Koizumi felt speechless.

Koizumi also saw that Najeshitan was trying to change the subject to ease the strange atmosphere, but this topic would only make the atmosphere more depressing. You know we are just a cooperative relationship, right?

However, Koizumi can also understand the importance Najeshitan places on things like amulets.

So in response to Najeshitan's question, Koizumi simply nodded.

"Don't worry, as long as we get the information handed over by the revolutionary army, the amulet will be successfully produced on time."

Although Koizumi seems easy to talk to, he is very serious when it comes to doing serious work.

That's why Koizumi also said that as soon as the information is obtained, the amulet will be successfully produced on time.

Reimu nodded silently. Even though she had an unpleasant argument with Koizumi this morning, she would still do what needed to be done. She wasn't some interstellar youkai that would leave a lot of things to be dealt with by herself.

When she's serious, Reimu is still very reliable...

Najeshitan also felt relieved. The purpose of asking this question was to adjust the atmosphere and to ask something.

Needless to say, the purpose of asking is of course for the amulets of the revolutionary army, so we have to urge them no matter what.

Of course, she also knows the principle of paying and getting goods. After all, she is a boss, so how could she not know this principle?

"Okay then. By the way, Leona, do you have any missions lately?"

Najeshitan's gaze turned to Najeshitan again. Recently, Leone went to the imperial capital for two reasons: one was for intelligence, and the other was to take on missions. After all, there were many resentful poor people in the imperial capital. Those poor people were suffering in their lives, and while suffering, they were bullied. It was simply too much.

Leone nodded silently and took out a document from somewhere.

"This is evidence of the crimes of the imperial noble family, the Reas. They often bring young girls from other places back to their home, first providing them with delicious food and drinks, then secretly take them out of the imperial capital and release them into areas where dangerous species frequently roam. Then they watch them being slaughtered by the dangerous species. Incidentally, they also capture some humanoid dangerous species and those little girls..."

Having said that, Leone paused slightly, his expression becoming extremely grim, and he glanced at Reimu.

Seeing Leona's expression, Koizumi frowned slightly, and roughly understood what Leona wanted to say.

Chapter 84 Accepting the Mission

Dangerous hybrids are considered a taboo both in the Empire and in other countries.

According to legend, there was a village where a man lived. His mother was raped by a dangerous humanoid creature and gave birth to him. When he was born, he was extremely strong and his flesh could not be cut even by a knife.

However, everyone in the village regarded him as a monster, and finally, he was drowned by his biological mother in tears, because he was a cursed child and a taboo that would bring misfortune.

Many parts of the empire were feudal and superstitious, and the birth of such a child would be a tragedy. However, there were exceptions. In the eastern part of the empire, there existed a religion called the Way of Tranquility. Their leader, a hybrid of human and dangerous species, was said to be born with healing and prophetic powers, and was now revered by many believers.

This is why when she was in the Empire, Reimu was disliked by the Imperial Capital Guard, and was even attacked directly.

Leone did this to take Reimu's feelings into consideration. In their eyes, Reimu was indeed...

Reimu's mouth twitched fiercely. If she still didn't understand after hearing this, then her position as the Hakurei shrine maiden would be in vain.

At least she still has her IQ. If she didn't have it, Reimu wouldn't be able to solve so many anomalies.

Strange things often happen in Gensokyo, and Reimu, as the manager of Gensokyo, is responsible for resolving them one by one.

Najeshitan glanced at Reimu, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. She also understood what Leona meant.

Reimu rolled her eyes at the group and said in a strangely speechless voice, "Don't worry about me. I'm not some dangerous half-blood. Don't overthink it. I'm just a shrine maiden, not some dangerous half-blood..." If I were a dangerous half-blood, how could I be a shrine maiden? Although the shrine maiden status doesn't depend on bloodline, at least a dangerous half-blood can't be one...

Najeshitan smiled slightly and understood this. In fact, many people were like this, always denying their own bloodline.

For such people, Najeshitan can only be understanding. After all, not everyone can accept her bloodline.

People of mixed race actually hate their own foreign blood, which is actually normal.

So at this moment, Najeshitan was looking at Reimu with an understanding look on her face, which made Reimu feel very upset.

You don't understand shit! I'm clearly a human! Why do you think I'm some ridiculously dangerous hybrid?

It's been like this since the beginning of the Imperial Capital, and even now, during [NIGHTRAID], people still suspect it.

Forget it… I’d better not say any more… If I say any more, I’ll just cry… I’ve been feeling really bad all day today. It seems like today is a bad day for me, Hakurei Reimu. First, I saw an unpleasant scene early in the morning, and now someone is being so… [understood]! ?

Understanding is bullshit! I don’t need this kind of boring understanding at all!

Reimu lowered her head speechlessly and ate silently. It's better to just ignore it. Listening too much will make you angry!

Koizumi couldn't help but laugh. Reimu really was a bit pitiful. Never mind, he decided not to laugh at her.

"Okay, you guys continue talking, don't worry about Reimu..." Koizumi also knew that Reimu was not some dangerous snake-skinned hybrid. This had always been the imagination of those bastards. Although Reimu had been explaining it, it seemed to be of no use.

Najeshitan nodded and gave Leone another look, asking her to continue.

Akagi and the others were listening very attentively, as if they were afraid of missing any details.

"This is the movement pattern of the noble Reas family. I've almost figured it out. By the way, the client is a servant of the Reas family. He was abducted to the Reas home along with those little girls. But since he's a man, he's still useful. They abuse him all day long, and he witnessed his lover being killed by a dangerous humanoid creature... So he hopes that our [NIGHT RAID] can bring divine punishment to his entire family..."

By the way, the words "divine punishment" should just be taken as a joke. No one has the right to punish anyone else. This is just self-righteousness... Koizumi believes this in his heart. After all, the Punisher is not God or something. How can he really think he has the right to do this? It's just because of the emotions in his heart that he behaves in a way that best suits his current feelings.

Isn't it because of feelings like dissatisfaction and hatred that [NIGHTRAID] chooses to help a group of clients?

The actions that derive from this emotion are called "Sanctions." To put it bluntly, these "Sanctions" are just self-righteous. Of course, this doesn't mean that Koizumi is unhappy with their behavior; Koizumi is just saying that.

"So what about the client?" Koizumi was curious. Could Reas have watched his servants commission assassins without knowing anything? Such a noble was a bit foolish. Of course, not all nobles would pay attention to the personal actions of their subordinates, but in the imperial capital, if they were not careful, they would be an idiot.

"He committed suicide. He said that even though he left without telling Reas, he was bound to be discovered anyway, so he chose suicide. He just hoped that we [NIGHT RAID] could help him and his lover get revenge. He also said that every day someone in Reas's family who couldn't stand it would commit suicide, so his suicide wouldn't arouse any suspicion."

There was a complicated look in Leona's eyes. After seeing this kind of thing too many times, he would naturally become numb.

But no matter which time, Leone could never calm the feeling in his heart.

Gu Quan also pursed his lips slightly, a complex expression appearing in his eyes, as if he could understand the other person's feelings.

It was the feeling of failing to protect those around you, of watching them suffer before your eyes and being powerless to do anything... Koizumi had also vaguely experienced this pain... Remlia's wounding by Berserker and the final battle, her agonizing showdown with her own sister, and her death at her own hands...

Seeing Remlia disappear before his eyes, Koizumi felt a suffocating feeling in his heart.

After a while, Gu Quan couldn't help but sigh slightly. It seemed that the imperial capital had a lot of darkness that I didn't know about.

Amidst mixed emotions, Koizumi couldn't help but recall the previous Sero, the girl who always talked about justice.

If she knew that there was such a person in the imperial capital where she was in charge of public security, I wonder what kind of expression she would show. And that Ouka... he doesn't look like a good person no matter how you look at him.

By the way, it’s been a day or two since we left the imperial capital. Should we let Jingmi go and see how things are going over there with Sailu?

Forget it, let’s take care of the things in front of us first.

"Mr. Najeshitan... could you please let me take care of this mission..."

After calming down his emotions, Koizumi turned his gaze towards Najeshita and spoke slowly.

At the same time, everyone else looked at Koizumi in surprise, even Reimu and Qin Xin were no exception.

Chapter 85 Surprise

Honestly, Koizumi and the others joining Night Raid was just a temporary solution. It wasn't because they wanted to join, but rather for the sake of cooperation. Furthermore, Koizumi and the others had no place to live, so they had to stay in Night Raid.

After all, we are all in the same group, although the word "in the same group" needs to be put in quotation marks to emphasize it.

Therefore, Najeshitan and the others had no expectation that Koizumi and the others would accept the "NIGHT RAID" mission.

Although Reimu and his gang are good people, it doesn't mean that they will definitely help them complete the mission.

Therefore, the fact that Koizumi would take the initiative to accept this mission was something incredible to Najeshitan and the others.

Reimu and Qin Xin also looked at Koizumi in astonishment. What's wrong with this guy? He's just full and has nothing better to do than do something like this?

Of course, this idea was just Reimu's thought, and Qin Xin was just surprised that Koizumi would accept the task.

Koizumi looked at the others speechlessly. "What's wrong with me accepting a mission? Why are you all so shocked? Is it really that serious? It's as if I'll never accept a mission from your Night Raid."

"Why are you so surprised... I'm just taking a mission, it's not something to be surprised about."

Giving Najeshitan and the others a cold look, Koizumi spoke calmly.

"No, it's just that Mr. Koizumi and the others don't seem like the type to bother with trouble, so I thought Mr. Koizumi wouldn't care about our Night Raid mission..." Najeshitan smiled wryly.

There's no way around it. Everyone in Night Raid knows that Reimu likes to relax. After all, Leone has mentioned this to her group, so subconsciously, they also think that Koizumi and Reimu are similar.

"It's Reimu who likes to relax, not me. I think I still really like to join in the fun..."

Koizumi's lips curled up slightly. He was right. It was Reimu who liked leisure, not him.

Although I also like to be leisurely, after all, who doesn't want to live a leisurely life, but the current situation does not allow me to be leisurely.

So I can only choose to suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness, go through such a difficult and hard time first, and then taste the sweetness.

Everyone knows that there is always sweetness after bitterness, and Gu Quan naturally understands this as well, so this is the idea he holds now.

As for his decision to take this quest, it was because Koizumi needed to get used to this kind of life. He chose this evil nobleman as his first kill. Since he had to kill someone sooner or later, it made no difference whether he did it sooner or later.

If you don't act sooner, you will find yourself uncomfortable with killing people later on.

Therefore, Koizumi decided to participate in the "Night Raid" mission now. If possible, it would be best to get used to this kind of thing.

What he will experience later may be very cruel. Thinking of Miss Remi's sister, Koizumi couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart. That was not an ordinary existence. She had the same vampire and demon bloodline as Remi, and her strength seemed to be even higher than Remi. She killed Remi directly in a head-on battle.

This kind of strength is simply terrifying. At the very least, there is absolutely no chance that Koizumi will win against him.

Just looking at him makes my heart tremble... At least Koizumi wants to change his current situation and work hard to become stronger.

As servants, Reimu and others' strength is basically fixed. If they want to change it, their spiritual base must become stronger.

But Koizumi is different. As a human, Koizumi has endless possibilities to become stronger, and this possibility is the contract.

Constantly making contracts and becoming stronger... Anyway, I made a contract with Serenity, so did I get Serenity's poisonous body? Apparently not... Reimu attacked me this morning, and now nothing's happened...

"So, you mean to accept this mission?" Najeshitan confirmed again to avoid any mistakes.

Koizumi nodded calmly. Since he had accepted the mission, he couldn't just quit it casually... That would be too shameless.

No, this isn't a question of lack of moral integrity, it's a question of lack of integrity...

"In that case, I'll leave this mission to you, Excellency... But in case of any accidents, let Akame and the others accompany you..." Najeshitan wasn't worried about Koizumi's strength, she was just worried about any accidents. Akame and the others were very experienced, so if they were accompanying her, Najeshitan wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Koizumi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sure enough, he was still worried about his own experience... but that was understandable.

After all, he is still a newcomer in the field of killer, so it is normal for him to let Akagi and others lead him.

Koizumi glanced at Brand and the others, a hint of helplessness flashing across his eyes.

There's nothing I can do. Even if I believe in my abilities, I guess Akagi and the others won't trust me.

In response to this, Koizumi could only purse his lips and say nothing more, believing it would be better to accept the other party's kindness.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be self-confidence, but just showing off. Besides, Lingmeng and Qin Xin would also be worried about me.

Thinking of this, Koizumi could only nod briefly without saying anything else, his gaze sweeping over Akado and the others.

"In that case, let Akame help me. We won't need so many people for [NIGHT RAID]." Koizumi raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Compared to the others, Akame should be more suitable to team up with him.

Compared to Leone and the others, Koizumi is more accustomed to partnering with unusually calm people like Akame.

Moreover, Akame's combat power is also among the top in [NIGHT RAID]. The strongest in [NIGHT RAID] is Susanoo, followed by Brand, and then Akame.

Therefore, Akame is considered to be one of the strongest among all the people in [NIGHTRAID].

"If you're still worried, you can let Chelsea, me, and Akame go together. Chelsea's Teigu ability is very useful, isn't it?" Koizumi was not lying. He knew that Chelsea's Teigu ability was indeed very useful.

[Transformation Gaia Foundation], a makeup-type imperial weapon, is Chelsea's imperial weapon.

It is said to have been stolen from a certain prefectural governor's mansion and can allow the user to transform into anything according to their wishes.

Not very useful in direct combat, but great for assassinations and reconnaissance.
