"I was going to ask you, kid, how did you get in last night when I closed the door?"
The innkeeper seemed very curious about this matter as well. At first he thought Gu Quan was a thief, but when he saw that nothing was missing from his place and Gu Quan didn't seem to have much money on him, he put his suspicions to rest.
But then again, isn't it a bit too kind for a boss to do this?
Wouldn't most people arrest the person in front of them first, no matter what the situation was?
"By the way, I think I was drinking here with Leone, and then... I got drunk!"
At this moment, Koizumi's thoughts became much clearer, and he seemed to realize something.
Koizumi reached into his arms, and suddenly, his cheek twitched violently, and he realized what had happened.
I was robbed yesterday, right?... Oh my god... I was really too naive.
"Boy, you look like someone has stolen something from you. You should report it to the police right away."
Having said that, the boss didn't intend to say anything else, and then instructed the waiter in the store to be responsible for entertaining the guests.
Koizumi couldn't help but look at him strangely. "You know I accidentally slept over here, and you don't even suspect I stole something? Aren't you a little too kind, boss?"
Never mind, it was just my money that was stolen, and I didn’t really need the money anyway.
This can be considered as learning from one's mistakes.
But having said that, he dared to steal my things. I will remember this incident. No matter what, I must let that guy know that even if she is a beautiful woman, you can't just steal her things.
Thinking this, Koizumi slowly walked outside.
The moment Koizumi stepped out of the door, a person with a black cloak on his back bumped into him.
Chapter 17 Everything is Strange
"boom!"
Koizumi collided with the man in the black cloak. The man only took a half step back, while Koizumi was knocked down.
"Are you OK?"
The man seemed very surprised and quickly stepped forward and stretched out his right hand.
Looking closely, it was a short boy who looked very strong. He seemed to be carrying something on his back. There was a firm look in his eyes, and it could be seen that he must be a boy with a very strong will.
"Sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't notice it for a moment."
"It's okay, I don't take it to heart." Gu Quan smiled faintly. He really didn't take this matter to heart.
At the same time, Koizumi extended his right hand, and the boy pulled Koizumi up.
"I'm so sorry for what happened earlier." The boy apologized again after pulling Koizumi up.
Koizumi responded with a faint smile, "It's alright, I have some things to do, so I'll be leaving first."
Having said that, Koizumi slowly left, and the boy glanced at Koizumi's back before slowly walking into the inn.
The young man slowly walked into the inn, found a random seat and sat down, ordering some side dishes.
The boy pulled down the cloak covering his head and couldn't help but sigh, worry flashing between his brows.
"However, I just saw Chi Tong on the wanted poster. Speaking of which, I hope nothing happens to Chi Tong?"
"And this world is completely different from what I remembered. There's no news of Night Raid, no news of the Revolutionary Army, and even no intelligence on other countries. It's as if the Empire is the only one left in the world. What's going on?"
The young man muttered to himself, glancing outside the inn from time to time.
From what he had just observed, those people seemed to be living quite well, which gave the young man a feeling of being in a dream.
Although this seemed to be a good idea, there was always a voice in the boy's heart telling him that this was not okay.
"It seems we have to find Chi Tong first. Since Chi Tong chose to rebel against the empire, she must have discovered something."
The young man muttered to himself, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Koizumi, walking down the street, looked around in confusion. Was it just his imagination?
Why did I always feel that this was a little different from the imperial capital I knew? What exactly was the difference?
Slowly, Koizumi walked to the locations of the Hakurei Fuza and Noh masks shops in his memory.
But... the moment Koizumi walked over there, even he couldn't help but be surprised.
Both stores disappeared out of thin air, and what was even stranger was that they were replaced by their original locations.
Did Reimu and Qin Xin sell the store so quickly? No...it shouldn't be like this.
Gu Quan quickly put away the impossible idea that suddenly popped up in his mind. Not to mention Qin Xin, there was no way Reimu would sell the store even if he was beaten to death. You have to know that Reimu was extremely greedy for money. With her personality, she would get angry with anyone who dared to snatch the capital of her business. So how could she possibly sell the store?
Koizumi frowned slightly, as if something serious had happened.
Come to think of it, this couldn't be the so-called distortion... It does look bad.
Thinking of this, Koizumi couldn't help but glance at the Command Seals in his hand while glancing around.
This is not the place to summon them. Let's go somewhere else first and then summon Reimu and the others.
As Koizumi was about to go to a deserted corner to summon someone, he noticed a large group of people standing where a notice had been posted. They were pointing at the notice and talking among themselves.
Out of curiosity, Koizumi walked in that direction and saw a picture of a young girl on the notice.
She was a very beautiful girl, and she would make people feel bright at first sight.
"Red Eyes..."
The other person's name was written on it, and he seemed to be a fugitive from the empire.
"It's really different from before. There wasn't anything like this here before..."
Koizumi muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a strong sense of vigilance...
"He's a traitor..."
"Yeah, it's really abominable. How dare they betray the empire..."
"Her family must be very hateful..."
……
Just like that, everyone around cursed the girl named Akame who betrayed the empire.
Koizumi, who heard everything being said clearly, frowned slightly. He was not clear about the whole thing. After all, this was the first time he had seen the notice, and he did not know any relevant information about Akame, so naturally he did not know the reason for her betrayal. However, these ordinary people cursed her without knowing right from wrong, which was really too much.
Koizumi, unable to bear it any longer, was about to say something when—
A figure stood in front of everyone, looking as if he was about to cry, which made people feel pity for him.
"That's not true! There must be a reason why my sister betrayed the empire! She must have been framed!"
The girl in front of him was wearing a black school uniform, had short black hair, and a pretty face that didn't need any makeup. She looked very similar to the face on the wanted poster, and tears were glistening in her pair of dark eyes.
She said sister, could it be the younger sister of this girl named Akame... Koizumi thought to himself.
"Oops!"
The next moment, Koizumi realized something was wrong. If this girl stood up like this, something bad would happen...
As Koizumi expected, a large group of residents who knew nothing about the situation cursed the girl without hesitation.
At the same time, there were even more extreme people throwing stones at the girl, forcing her to retreat.
"Follow me!" Koizumi rushed forward without hesitation, grabbed the other person's arm and ran to the side.
The girl was completely bewildered as she was dragged away by Koizumi, leaving her no chance to resist.
The people kept chasing, but when they got tired they didn't want to continue.
Pulling the black-eyed girl to a corner, Koizumi couldn't help but gasp. Those people were really crazy.
Why did it suddenly feel like the people of this empire had become incredibly fanatical about it? Was it an illusion?
Koizumi subconsciously glanced at the black-eyed girl beside him, and only then realized that she was also panting.
Maybe I ran too much...
"Are you okay?" Koizumi couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, thank you..." The black-eyed girl responded gratefully, "My name is Hei Tong, what's yours?"
"Koizumi... by the way, that Akame on the wanted poster just now and you... are you sisters?"
Having said that, Koizumi looked at the other person with curiosity. Actually, this was nonsense. The two looked almost identical except for their pupils. What else could they be but sisters?
"Well, she is my sister..."
Speaking of Chitong, Heitong couldn't help but feel sad. She really couldn't understand why her sister betrayed the empire.
Noticing the other person's dejection, Koizumi smiled faintly and patted Hei Tong's shoulder.
"If you don't know why your sister betrayed the Empire, then ask her when you meet her. You are sisters, right? Sisters can talk about anything, right? You are related by blood, right?"
Hearing this, Hei Tong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Chapter 18 Greedy Black Eyes
"Hei Tong, are you okay?"
There were three girls standing in front of Hei Tong. According to Hei Tong's introduction, the three of them were the girl with long light silver hair - Gin, the girl with long beautiful hair - Remus, and the short-haired girl wearing black glasses - Wu Min. From the way they looked at Hei Tong, it can be seen that they have a good relationship.
Wu Min held her eyes, her eyes flashing with deep worry.
"We just heard from Natara that your sister Chi Tong is on the wanted list. What's going on?"
"I don't know either. I haven't seen my sister for a long time, but she must have her own reasons!"
Hei Tong's tone was very aggrieved, but no matter what, she stood on her sister's side.
Wu Min and the other two looked at each other, then nodded.
"We believe you..."
Wu Min and the other two said these words at the same time, which immediately touched Hei Tong's heart.
However - the next moment, Wu Min and the others looked at Gu Quan behind Hei Tong with confusion.
"Hei Tong, who is this?" Wu Min was the first to ask the question on everyone's mind.
"My name is Koizumi, and I just met Hei Tong..." Having said this, Koizumi couldn't help but pause for a moment before looking at Hei Tong with a helpless expression. "Hei Tong, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy and approaching you with ill intentions?"
Don’t women these days have any sense of vigilance at all? Why do they bring strange men home so easily?
Kuroneko gave Koizumi a silly look, then spoke calmly.
"You can't beat me..."
Hei Tong's words were filled with confidence, but Koizumi didn't have a single doubt in his heart.
The wanted poster said that Akagi was a member of the Imperial Assassination Force, and Hei Tong, as Akagi's twin sister, probably also had special skills. The reason why a large group of ordinary people said that before was probably because she was upset about her sister's affairs.
"..."Even if you can fight, that's not a reason for you to bring a strange man home casually.
These days, girls are really confident in their ability to defend themselves... Gu Quan was speechless.
Hei Tong glanced at Gu Quan briefly, then slowly walked in with Wu Min and the others.
The reason he asked Koizumi to come here was simply because Koizumi had helped him before and had given him great comfort.
Without Koizumi's comfort, she would have had a hard time getting over her sister's betrayal of the Empire.
Just as Koizumi said, he and his sister were connected by blood. If he didn't understand something about his sister's behavior, he could just ask her in person. There was no need to feel distressed about it.
If my sister really has a reason to do this, then I just need to follow her.
No matter where I am, as long as my sister is with me, I will feel happy, right?
It seemed that the other party really had no objection to his coming in, so Koizumi slowly walked in, glancing around.
This is a very ordinary residential house, but it is much larger than the store bought by Lingmeng and Qin Xin. After all, four girls have to live here, and these four girls seem to have a relationship with the empire, so it is normal for the house to be a little bigger.
“Gu~~~Gu~~~”
At this moment, as if someone's stomach was constantly protesting, Koizumi suddenly realized that it was time for lunch.
Wu Min, Yin and Remus all turned their gazes to Hei Tong, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
They seemed to be used to this situation, but Koizumi looked at Kuroneko in surprise.
Judging from their reactions, could it be that the girl in front of them, Hei Tong, is actually a big eater?
Heitong couldn't help but pout, covering her stomach with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.
