Savior of the everyday world of crossover anime

Faced with Borsalino's appearance, Suzuka had no time to react and almost instinctively kicked out, but the kick, accompanied by a whooshing sound, missed its target.

"how come..."

Suzuka's eyes widened at the sight.

She clearly saw herself kick the other person, but why did it pass right through her as if she hadn't kicked anything at all?

Borsalino said nothing to this, but simply raised a finger, and a beam of light pierced through Suzuka's abdomen, followed by a kick that sent her to reunite with the other three demon rakshasas.

Don't get me wrong, Borsalino didn't kick them to death, he just kicked the four of them together. After all, Takahashi Yu had previously instructed them to keep a low profile when seeking power, and to collect Imperial Arms and the like in secret, without being too ostentatious.

Outside the mansion, the four demons of Rakshasa were now lying on the ground, their previous arrogant demeanor gone. They looked at Borsalino walking towards them with fear on their faces.

"Wait, don't kill us! We're here on the minister's orders to test you, to see if you're capable of becoming the head of the assassination squad. We mean you no harm!"

Then Ji shouted.

"Yes, we were just saying those things casually. If you misunderstood, we will go to the minister ourselves to accept the punishment!"

"Let us go!"

Of the other three, Ma Tou and Zhu Tian hurriedly echoed and begged for mercy. As for Suzuka, who had been pierced through the abdomen by Borsalino's laser beam, she was unable to speak at this moment and could only nod repeatedly.

Just now in the mansion, Borsalino not only defeated them instantly, but also kicked each of them, severely injuring them. This made the four Rakshasa demons realize the extent of the difference in strength between them, and also realized that with Borsalino's speed, they would have no chance of leaving if he didn't want to let them go.

Under the expectant gazes of the four, Borsalino stopped and looked down at them from his high position.

"What happened today will not happen again. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so bold as to do something rash in a moment of excitement."

Whoosh!

Four laser beams flew past the four people almost grazing their ears, creating a huge explosion behind them.

Feeling the heat behind them and the faint stinging in their ears, the four of them broke out in a cold sweat, but dared not turn around, and just nodded repeatedly.

Finally, under Borsalino's gaze, the four demons struggled to their feet, then limped away in a panic.

Chapter 24: The Importance Placed on Borsalino, and the Ministers' Attempts to Win Him Over

Inside the luxurious mansion, Minister Ernest held a plate in one hand and grabbed the chef's hand with the other, as he devoured chunks of tender meat. Beside him, the four Rakshasa demons, who had just escaped, knelt nervously on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.

For a moment, only the sound of chewing could be heard in the entire hall.

After a while, Ernest, having finished his meal, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the grease off his hands and mouth. His fat and burly body rose from the chair and slowly approached the four demons.

"Tell me, why did we fail this time? I want to hear the most detailed account."

"Yes, that's right..."

Faced with the minister's questioning, the four demons of Rakshasa dared not conceal anything and immediately described in detail what had happened at Borsalino's mansion.

"I see. So, not only were you no match for them, but you were also eliminated one by one in a short period of time?"

After listening to the four men's descriptions, Minister Ernest pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, the opponent was too fast, and we couldn't react in time. But next time, as long as we are prepared, we will definitely not be so easily defeated!"

Then, one of the four spoke up to explain.

"In other words, you don't deny that even if we faced each other again, we still wouldn't be a match?"

Upon hearing the minister's words, the four fell silent.

Remembering Borsalino's terrifying speed, even if they were prepared and could defend against the first time, could they really defend against the second time?

Even if you can prevent it from happening a second time, what about the third and fourth time?

Even, looking at how easily that guy Borsalino defeated them, what if there's a fifth, sixth, or even tenth, fifteenth, or twentieth time?

If you are prepared, you won't be easily succeeded on. In other words, you will still be succeeded on in the end; the only difference is how long you hold out.

Even Suzuka, one of the four, didn't mention that her attack had mysteriously passed through the opponent's body. After all, even she herself couldn't determine whether the scene was her imagination or not. Perhaps it was just because the opponent was too fast, and she had only kicked an afterimage.

"Don't worry, although some mistakes you made in this operation (to prevent sensitivity) have caused some misunderstandings between us and Minister Borusalino, there will be no problem once the misunderstandings are cleared up."

"Tomorrow, you will take the appointment letter of the Minister of the Imperial Assassination Force to Minister Borsalino to apologize and invite him to my residence."

Minister Ernest did not choose to deliberately make things difficult for the Four Demon Rakshasa. Clearly, from their descriptions, he already knew that their defeat was not solely due to carelessness, but rather to a fundamental difference in their strength.

Although he was somewhat shocked that Borsalino could easily defeat the four demons, who were capable of fighting the Teigu users with their bare hands, he was only surprised for a moment.

The four Rakshasa demons are indeed very strong, otherwise they wouldn't have been chosen by the ministers as guards, but they are still far inferior to true powerhouses.

At least among those the minister knew, both Esdeath and General Budo could easily defeat the Four Demon Rakshasa. Being able to defeat the Four Demon Rakshasa only proves that their strength has surpassed the level of ordinary Imperial Arms users.

Even so, such strength was enough to make ministers set aside some interests and choose to win them over.

Although Minister Ernest held immense power in the empire, he knew that his authority stemmed from the young emperor's trust. If he lost the emperor's favor, the first person to turn against him in court would be General Bud, who had never been involved in politics.

Therefore, Minister Ernest has been developing his own power over the years to protect himself.

Years ago, he single-handedly helped Esdeath weaken General Bud's position and power in the army, and now, Ernest sees Esdeath's shadow in Borsalino.

This is someone who appears suddenly, just like Esdeath before, and is both powerful and enticeable.

Based on the intelligence gathered, Borsalino is power-hungry. Whether it's controlling merchants and amassing funds after arriving in the capital, or assassinating a former minister and bribing officials, his desire for power is fully evident.

Having desires and needs means having control. Just like Esdeath used to enjoy ravaging and war, so the ministers gave her opponents to ravage and gave her armies to wage war. Now, as long as Borsalino can be won over, the ministers can give him the same power.

The appointment letter for Minister of the Imperial Assassination Force was Minister Ernest's gift to Borsalino.

"For Minister Borsalino to be able to easily defeat the four of you in such a short time, his strength is probably no less than that of Esdeath back then. Your defeat is reasonable, so I will not blame you this time. But remember, there must be no next time."

Upon hearing the minister's words, the four demon Rakshasa immediately became solemn.

Judging from the minister's tone, the invitation to the mansion, and the comparison with Esdeath, there is no doubt that the guy named Borsalino will not only smoothly take office as the Minister of the Imperial Assassination Force, but his future will also be bright, and it is even possible that he will become the second Esdeath.

Despite the fact that Esdeath's current status is the result of the minister's promotion, there is actually no clear superior-subordinate relationship between Esdeath and the minister. Even the minister cannot force Esdeath to do anything, and most of the time he has to go along with Esdeath's wishes. The two are equals in status.

To become the second Esdeath is no less than to become one of the actual controllers of the future empire.

"Okay, all of you, please step aside."

On the other side, the minister waved to the four demons, who dared not object and left the hall after saying goodbye.

The minister then retrieved the information about Borsalino and read it carefully once more.

From arriving in the capital more than half a month ago, taking control of a group of oil and grain merchants, then slowly expanding the caravan, accumulating funds, to killing the former Minister of the Imperial Assassination Force, Steka, and bribing officials to recommend himself, all of this happened in just over half a month.

Placing such a power-hungry person in the court would be far more effective than Esdeath's situation. If General Bud remains unmoved, his power and status will be further diminished.

With the support of the young emperor, he would be able to secure his position in the court, and General Bude would no longer be able to threaten his status.

Chapter 25: Imperial Arms Acquired, Kaito Kid's Announcement

The next day, Borsalino received his appointment as Minister of the Imperial Assassination Force and also learned of the minister's invitation.

After consulting with Takahashi Yu, Borsalino, the clone, did not refuse.

......

Inside the spacious and luxurious mansion, Minister Ernest and Borsalino walked one after the other in the courtyard.

"I had long heard that Minister Borsalino was exceptionally handsome, and seeing him today confirms it."

"You flatter me, Your Excellency. I was able to become the Minister of the Assassination Force thanks to your assistance."

"Not at all, it was just a small favor. However, I hope my subordinates can understand the misunderstanding between Minister Borsalino and me last night."

"nature."

Upon hearing Borsalino's reply, Minister Ernest immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Clearly, from the conversation just now, he already knew Borsalino's attitude. The other party had not become estranged from him because of the four demons' probing last night, or rather, that was not enough for people like them to deliberately hold a grudge.

In this way, he can confidently promote the other party.

"Now that Minister Borsalino has taken office in the Imperial Assassination Department, he wields great power and is a key figure in the country, but I suppose he doesn't yet have any subordinates of his own?"

"How about this, I'll take the lead and let Minister Borsalino choose two Imperial Arms from the Imperial Palace. Combined with the Imperial Arms users already in the assassination squad, that should be enough for Minister Borsalino to form a team."

Upon hearing this, Borsalino, who was standing behind Minister Ernest, raised an eyebrow.

"In that case, I shall respectfully comply."

......

Half an hour later, inside the imperial palace's treasury.

The minister laid out all the Imperial Arms in the treasury before Borsalino for him to choose from.

"Of the 48 Imperial Arms created by the late emperor, most of them have been lost to the outside world after so many years. Even the Imperial Palace does not have a large number of Imperial Arms in stock."

"I will make the decision. Minister Borsalino can choose two items from these. So, how will Minister Borsalino choose?"

After listening to the minister's words, Borsalino looked at the group of Imperial Arms in front of him and pondered, actually asking Takahashi Yu in his mind.

In the real world, Takahashi Yu was also observing this scene intently.

There were six Imperial Arms laid out before Borsalino: a shield, a rapier, a spear, a black cloak, a bracelet, and a pair of boots.

To be honest, Takahashi Yu hadn't expected the minister to suddenly give him Borsalino's Imperial Arms. At this moment, faced with so many Imperial Arms, he could only roughly judge their abilities by their appearance.

In the end, Takahashi Yu let Borsalino choose a black cloak and a pair of boots, chatted with Minister Ernest for a while, and then left impatiently.

......

In the real world, as soon as Borsalino left the minister's side, Takahashi Yu had him teleport the Imperial Arms over.

Looking at the black cloak and boots in his hands, Takahashi Yu recalled Minister Ernest's description of the two Imperial Arms.

Entangled Ghosts: A cloak-type stealth Imperial Arm that grants the user the ability to become completely transparent and blend into their surroundings. It also allows the user to become somewhat ethereal, enabling them to pass through obstacles such as wooden planks, wire mesh, and walls like a ghost.

Freedom of movement: A boot-shaped reconnaissance Imperial Arm that allows the user to walk as if on flat ground in any environment, such as cliffs, water, or mid-air.

Neither of the two Imperial Arms significantly enhanced combat power, but that was just right for Takahashi Yu.

He doesn't lack an Imperial Arm to increase his strength, and Borsalino is even less lacking. Rather than an Imperial Arm that enhances combat capabilities, functional Imperial Arms like this are more valuable in Takahashi Yu's eyes.

Furthermore, he didn't intend to use the Imperial Arms himself, but rather to leave them for his subordinates to study.

While the chances of replicating an Imperial Arms are slim, once we understand the principles and Borsalino obtains the crafting method for Imperial Arms, we might be able to create some inferior imitations, which is worth a try.

After carefully storing the two Imperial Arms and sending them to the internment facility for research, Takahashi Yu heard a system notification in his ear.
