Who isn't busy saving the world these days? Isn't Chaldea's Fujimaru Ritsuka also working hard next door?

It’s good that our Master is doing this now. At least he has time to rest, right?

If this happened to the people next door, they would definitely be anxious to death as they saw the time for the fire to burn out was getting closer and closer.

Koizumi felt deeply distressed by Aqiu's appearance. If he remembered correctly, Aqiu should still be alive now. It was because of Yakumo Yukari that he was able to come here as a Servant. However, the living Aqiu was different from those monsters. Aqiu was just a human, a human with a limited lifespan, and—

The sons of Goare, perhaps because of the defects in the reincarnation technique, or perhaps because such miracles cannot be used at will by humans, or perhaps because the knowledge that reincarnation carries is too much, all the sons of Goare cannot live beyond the age of 30.

And after death, one must work for Yama in hell for 100 years before being reborn.

The son of Miari, whose life was all about fate, even Koizumi couldn't help but sigh.

The only trace of her as Hieda Aqiu left in this world is probably this book.

Even though Aqiu can be reincarnated, Guquan knows that even after reincarnation, his personality will change. The only memories that Aqiu will not forget are those related to the origin, and other memories are basically not left.

In other words, even if he was reincarnated, Hieda Aqiu would no longer be Hieda Aqiu.

With a heavy heart, Koizumi looked once again at Qiu, who was looking for a book in the library, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Hey, Aqiu, do you want to go to the singularity with me?"

"Eh!"

Chapter 997: It’s an illusion...

The crimson aurora roiled the atmosphere as Koizumi slew beast after beast. It seemed like performing such a powerful move should be extremely strenuous, but in Hieda Aqiu's eyes, Koizumi seemed to be doing it with remarkable ease. However—

What puzzled Hieda Aqiu was why Koizumi had specially brought him out for a stroll.

Aqiu didn't understand this, but she didn't intend to ask, because Koizumi must have his own reasons.

What’s more important now is that Aqiu is really interested in these monsters.

"Hey, hey, hey! Master, what kind of monsters are these? Are they from some mythical monsters? Or are they more common types? And I heard that the materials dropped from these monsters are very good. When I passed by Chaldea just now, I kept hearing Ms. Ritsuka talking about grinding for materials. Could this be what she was talking about? It seems that even we in Chaldea often exchange those materials for money. It seems that they are really useful..."

Unexpectedly, after arriving at this place, Aqiu was not afraid at all when he saw Guquan killing the monsters. Instead, he was a little excited and went forward to touch the materials dropped from the monsters, which was completely different from his usual demeanor in Chaldea.

How should I put it? Chaldea's Aqiu was a bit like a daughter from a noble family, but the current Aqiu—

It was probably time for her to stop putting on airs. As the head of the prestigious Hieda family in the human village, if she didn't observe etiquette and had no dignity, how could she possibly have such prestige in the human village?

But that's not necessary now, since it's just her and Koizumi, so there's no need to worry about that.

Even when communicating with Reimu and the others, Aqiu was disguising himself. Although his words did not contain any official politeness, it could be said that Aqiu deliberately put on an attitude of being well-educated.

However, after seeing Koizumi's strange expression, Qiu seemed to realize something and immediately revealed an awkward yet polite smile. How should I put it, it seemed like he had accidentally exposed himself in front of the Master!

It wasn't that Aqiu didn't trust Koizumi's nature, but he just felt that he didn't need to be so cautious in front of Koizumi.

But now, seeing the strange smile on Koizumi's face, Qiu felt that he had been a little rude.

"It seems that you are the real you now. I felt that you were bound by something when we were in Chaldea. Now it seems that bringing you out was the right decision!"

Before Qiu could say anything, Koizumi chuckled and spoke first.

Back in Chaldea, Koizumi had already vaguely noticed that Qiu was overly formal with everyone he met. Whether it was his attitude, words, or actions, he always gave off an air of overly formality.

Of course, a young lady is definitely dignified and elegant, but Koizumi always feels that there is something wrong with Aqiu.

It's not that I think it's artificial, I just think that Aqiu's behavior is a bit inappropriate.

However, Koizumi didn't care. It was just that after seeing Aqiu today, Koizumi kept thinking of the fate of Yuari's son. Feeling distressed, he wanted to take Aqiu out for a walk. And then, he saw a very interesting scene.

"How did the Master know that?" Qiu looked at Koizumi with curiosity. Since Koizumi knew everything, there was no need for Qiu to act dignified. She was not like that in front of her friend Xiaoling.

Sometimes, Aqiu would even be a little narcissistic, which he would only show in front of his friends.

This is not to say that Reimu and others have a bad relationship with Aqiu, but as an individual, Hieda Aqiu's communication with his friend Motoori Kozuki can make him realize more deeply that he is not just the son of Miari, but Hieda Aqiu.

Reimu, Yakumo Yukari, Marisa and even Keion... each of these characters is involved with the order of Gensokyo.

When communicating with them, he was more of the son of Miari rather than the independent existence of Hieda Aqiu, so what Aqiu showed was more of the etiquette and attitude of the head of the Hieda family, and over time he got used to it.

However, Aqiu said that this was the first time that someone had discovered such a thing.

"It's not that I've figured it out, it's just my intuition. The intuition I inherited from Reimu has always been helpful in strange places. But it seems to be quite good."

Koizumi said with a wry smile, "That's true. Although Reimu's intuition is useful, it always works in inexplicable places."

Of course, this doesn't mean it's useless in combat, it just means that this effect is too dependent on luck.

"And actually, I didn't bring you out simply to relax you, but to show you around. You probably haven't been anywhere else except Gensokyo, right? As the son of Goare, you've dedicated your entire life to the origin of things. You don't even have any free time. The only place you can move around is Gensokyo, and most of the time you're just among people. Although I'm very unhappy about this fate, I also know that it's your own will. Even if I want to do something, it's useless as long as you don't stop, so I won't say anything."

Koizumi looked up at the sky, and what he said touched Aqiu's heart. As the son of Yuari, although many memories of her past life had become blurred, she still remembered some important things. In this long cycle of reincarnation, there had been people who wanted to help the son of Yuari escape this fate, but all were in vain.

Koizumi, like them, wanted to break free from his fate, but—

Koizumi saw it more clearly than anyone else. The root of the problem lies in the son of Goare's obsession with karma. As long as the son of Goare does not give up using Samsara, then all this will be in vain. Therefore, Koizumi respects his own will, which is why Aqiu is moved.

Reincarnation or not, he is no longer a child. He has his own beliefs and his own will. Isn't it ridiculous to let Yu Ali's son give up his so-called beliefs with just one sentence?

Compared to this fate, Koizumi focuses more on the regret that his own life is short and he cannot see everything.

Aqiu, who is eager for knowledge and very interested in history and humanities, is given the opportunity by Koizumi to satisfy himself.

This is also the reason why Aqiu was moved.

To this, she could only say:

"Thank you so much, Master! Thank you for your respect for the son of Yuari!"

At this moment, she didn't know if it was Koizumi's illusion, but she felt that four words appeared on Aqiu's head.

——Strategy successful...

Chapter 998 Have you ever seen air get pregnant?

This time, Aqiu had completely made up for her regrets. He had taken her to almost every place that Guquan could take her.

For example, Orleans in the first singularity, Rome in the second singularity, Oceanoi in the third singularity, and so on.

Koizumi even bothered Yakumo Yukari once, taking Koizumi and Aqiu on a trip to Imperial and Kamakura Period Japan...

The only place they didn't go to was Academy City, because it was outside the world, and Yakumo Yukari said that they couldn't go there.

Although she felt a little regretful, Aqiu said that she was already satisfied. She was very happy to have seen so many different worlds. As for what she learned from books alone, Aqiu believed that it would be better to understand it in person.

Therefore, Aqiu can be said to be very moved by this experience of traveling through various worlds.

However, she also knew that she couldn't let her Master be embarrassed because of her own affairs, so after a trip to Japan during the Kamakura period, when Koizumi was about to take Aqiu to Academy City, Aqiu stopped Koizumi.

"If you can't go, then don't bother Master Murasaki. Besides, I'm already very grateful for seeing so much this time. Master will surely see more worlds in the future. I wonder if you could take me to see them again then?" Under Yakumo Murasaki's ambiguous gaze and Aqiu's expectant look, Koizumi smiled and nodded.

Although the look in Yakumo Yukari's eyes made Koizumi want to throw her out, Koizumi also knew that now was not the time to say such things. Responding to Aqiu was the most important thing. He couldn't let the girl feel disappointed in him.

Therefore, Koizumi agreed without hesitation, and it wasn't a bad thing for him.

However, in Yakumo Yukari's eyes, Koizumi's behavior is very intriguing, and Koizumi actually wants to say something.

——I’m not as dirty as you think. Can you please think normally?

Besides, after all, I had just confirmed my relationship with Patchy, how could I possibly start flirting with other women so soon?

Hmm! In other words, if you hadn't confirmed your relationship with Patchouli, would you have gone to flirt with Aqiu?

Immediately, Koizumi quickly got rid of Yakumo Yukari's ambiguous gaze, and even Aqiu's face was slightly flushed. Although she knew that Yakumo Yukari was a person with a bad taste, because Aqiu was an open-minded person and had no bad taste, Aqiu was one of the few people in Gensokyo who had never experienced the feeling of Yakumo Yukari's bad taste.

But now she finally understood. That look alone was enough to make Ah Qiu feel shy.

It's not like Aqiu had never felt like being in love in his previous life, but because he was the son of Miari, even in his previous life, he had basically never been attracted to others. This incident was an exception, which made Aqiu have this feeling. However, being looked at by Lady Yakumo Yukari like this, he was still very shy.

"Haha... the little Master really can't stand being teased. Even Ah Qiu is a little moved. But that's normal. The important thing now is the aura of the little Master. Was it picked up when he came into contact with that demon pillar? No, it must be that guy who made a move. Is he planning to use the little Master to secretly attack Chaldea?"

Yakumo Yukari's eyes flickered, but after thinking for a moment, she smiled.

"This can be considered an opportunity. He can't overturn the chessboard directly right now. In other words, he can only rely on external forces to deal with the little master. So the only external force is that. It seems to be a good test for the little master. If that's the case, there's no need to worry. Let him be..."

Having said this, Yakumo Yukari waved her hand, as if she was really not interested in anything anymore.

He walked into the gap, took out a quilt from it, and covered himself with it, as if he was going to hibernate.

Well, as expected, the idle monster is the real sage monster. This guy must have been sick before.

Meanwhile, after leaving the control room and meeting everyone in Chaldea, Koizumi plans to visit another Chaldea. Incidentally, Elizabeth and Nero are said to be engaging in a concert PK, and have also begun to torture people from another Chaldea. A moment of silence for them is in awe; even Ritsuka, the evil human, couldn't stand the torture from these two.

This is not a question of whether they are timid or not, but the singing of Nero and Elizabeth is too powerful.

However, when Koizumi met Ritsuka and Mashu, he realized that these two people were good in more ways than just their spirit.

After all, in Koizumi's opinion, these two people should have dark circles under their eyes and look like they are about to die.

Although it's a bit rude, Koizumi thinks this is the most normal reaction.

Who knew that the other party not only had no problems at all, but also looked at himself and Aqiu with subtle eyes.

Just as Koizumi was about to ask something, Ritsuka and Mashu spoke up.

"Scumbag..."

"So fickle..."

This time, even Mashu complained about Koizumi, a rare occurrence, making Koizumi feel as if he were being pierced by thousands of arrows.

Mashu, you've changed. You wouldn't have accused your Koizumi-senpai like this before! Have you really been led astray by Chaos Evil?

"Hey, hey, hey! What did I do wrong again? You're slandering my innocence!"

Koizumi began to feel dissatisfied, even though Ritsuka had previously said that he was a harem man, Koizumi had never said anything.

Because Koizumi knew that Ritsuka was just unhappy with him having a female Servant with him, but what was going on now? The one following him was Qiu, and you knew him. Didn't Qiu often hang out in the library?

If you say you have replaced a new servant, I will accept it, but do you know this person?

"You've just started dating Miss Patchouli, but not long after, you're already taking Miss Qiu to the singularity and even using it as a date. Tell me, are you a scumbag? And—"

The enraged Ritsuka slammed the table and glared at Koizumi fiercely, as if he wanted to kill Koizumi a thousand times!

"Ms. Patchouli is pregnant, can you please take some responsibility for me?"

As he said this, Ritsuka threw a newspaper directly at Koizumi's face, and the big headline immediately caught Koizumi's eye.

Shocking! A certain master actually transcended reproductive isolation and did this to a certain witch!

Koizumi: "???"

Holy shit! Wenwen, you, a gossip reporter, are you addicted to this?

And Ritsuka, can you use your IQ which is close to negative to think about it for me? Patchouli is now a servant. The composition of a servant's spiritual base is completely dependent on magic power. Is this different from the oxygen in the air?

Let me ask you, have you ever seen someone get pregnant in the air?

Volume: The Day the Red Devil Awakens - Romania

Prologue: Once a close friend! Now an enemy!

On this extremely silent land, a war that is unimaginable to ordinary people is taking place.

Flames, torrents, storms, arrows of light... Endless attacks ravaged the land, and space wailed.

With a wave of her hand, a girl in a nightgown with a magic book floating above her hands performed a variety of magic. Countless magic circles quickly unfolded behind her. In the blink of an eye, all kinds of phenomena were summoned, which was dazzling.

If I were to use one word to describe the scene before my eyes, it would undoubtedly be the word - miracle.

Patchouli looked at the enemy in front of her with a serious face and did not stop casting magic. If she stopped attacking in such a difficult battle situation, it would undoubtedly mean that she thought her life was too long.

The scarlet aurora and the wooden stakes protruding from the ground kept approaching in his direction.

A huge amount of magic power burst out from Patchouli's body in an instant, and turned into various natural phenomena with a wave of her hand.

The blazing fireball seemed to turn into the sun, shining in Patchouli's hands and dispelling all the darkness around.

“Mmmmm—!!!!!”

A series of muffled groans came from the opposite side of Patchouli, and then the owners of the voices revealed their figures one after another.

Two petite figures, with cute and quite similar faces, and their clothes are basically scarlet in color.

The girl on the left stretched out her right hand, and the scarlet aurora was taken into her palm, gradually transforming into a spear.

She was wearing a Gothic Lolita outfit, but it was already stained red with blood. Her scarlet eyes were staring at Patchouli in front of her, with murderous intent in her eyes, without any emotion at all. It was as if she was looking at the livestock in her backyard.

——Remlia Scarlet, the Queen of the Night, also claims to be a descendant of Dracula.

Standing next to her was a petite girl who looked quite similar to her, even about the same height.

Like Remlia, she also has a pair of wings behind her, but these wings are tattered and covered with colorful crystals. The crystals are full of magic power, which indirectly reflects the extraordinary nature of these crystals.
