"I accidentally dropped my snacks on the road earlier. It's all because of those people chasing me..."
Shouldn't you be blamed for being so crazy explaining so much to your sister, which ended up causing public outrage?
Koizumi was grumbling in his mind, but he wasn't so low in EQ that he would suddenly say it out loud.
At this moment, Hei Tong noticed Koizumi's surprised face and her cheeks couldn't help but blush.
Heitong was also very embarrassed to be seen in such an embarrassing state by a member of the opposite sex whom he just met.
But soon, Hei Tong recovered and looked at Wu Min and others.
"..." Wu Min and the others looked at Hei Tong in front of them speechlessly. They had been together for so long, how could they not know what each other meant? However, Remus quickly shook her hands.
"I can't cook. Don't think too much. If you want to cook, ask Wu Min and the others."
Remes is quite capable of saying that she can't cook so naturally.
"Hi hi... I understand..." Wu Min saw Hei Tong's gaze and could only nod helplessly.
There was nothing they could do, since Hei Tong was such a big eater. Wu Min and Yin could only follow Hei Tong's wishes.
"Um... do you need my help?" Koizumi asked quickly.
He was inexplicably invited to the other party's house for a meal, but if he didn't help out, Koizumi would feel bad.
"How can this be? You are a guest. You can't ask guests to help with cooking."
Wu Min said quickly, and Kuroneki, Gin, and Remus nodded quickly.
Koizumi shook his head and said that since they had come to eat, he would feel bad if he didn't help out.
After all, Koizumi thought it was a bit too much to invite him to dinner since he and Kuroneko had just met.
Unable to persuade Gu Quan, Yin and Wu Min had to agree. However, what surprised Yin and Wu Min was that Gu Quan seemed very unfamiliar with cooking at the beginning, but after getting familiar with the kitchen utensils, he was like a kitchen veteran. The ingredients he used were obviously no different from usual, but the meals he cooked were full of fragrance, which surprised Yin and Wu Min.
In fact, it wasn't just them. Koizumi was also a little surprised. After all, he didn't remember cooking before.
But then again, I don't remember anything about the past. It's normal to not remember things from the past.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been exposed to similar things before, so I feel a little familiar with cooking.
"That's amazing... Did Mr. Koizumi often cook?"
Smelling the fragrance, Wu Min couldn't help but ask.
Gin also looked at Koizumi with curiosity.
"Maybe..." Koizumi smiled faintly and didn't say much.
He was also reluctant to tell the other party about his amnesia, so he could only give the other party an ambiguous answer.
"Wow……"
A group of little greedy ghosts attracted by the fragrance ran in, especially Hei Tong.
It is said that Hei Tong only likes to eat snacks such as biscuits, but generally speaking, a foodie is still a foodie. Even if it is not biscuits, as long as it is delicious, Hei Tong will still like to eat it.
Seeing Hei Tong's greedy look, Gu Quan and the others couldn't help but look at each other with knowing smiles on their faces.
Chapter 19 The Unsuccessful Girls
At the dinner table, Hei Tong was eating very enthusiastically. She had to admit that the food today was better than the previous ones.
Although saying this is disrespectful to Wu Min and Yin, after all, they were the ones who helped cook in the past.
"Mmm...delicious..." Hei Tong said while whimpering while eating.
"Idiot, don't choke yourself..." He gave the other person a silver look and patted Heitong's head at the same time.
"Well... don't pat my head, it will make me stupid..." Hei Tong couldn't help but say with dissatisfaction.
"You're already stupid..." Wu Min couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for Mr. Koizumi, you'd probably be stuck in your thoughts again..."
Hei Tong was speechless for a moment. Indeed, Hei Tong knew that he was prone to being stubborn.
If Koizumi hadn't persuaded her this time, she would have probably thought her sister was wrong like the other ordinary people, and would have inexplicably distanced herself from her without asking about the cause and effect.
Listening to their conversation, Koizumi felt a warm feeling in his heart. He didn't know why, but when he and Reimu Qinxin had just arrived in this world, although the world seemed peaceful, there was a dull atmosphere of anger among the people. But now, looking at Hei Tong and the others, Koizumi felt a hint of warmth in his heart.
It feels completely different from before. It seems that we can’t just judge things by their appearance.
"By the way, how did you two know each other?" Koizumi looked at Hei Tong and the others with curiosity.
Hei Tong and the others fell silent for a moment, then looked at each other in confusion.
But after a moment of silence, Remus was the first to speak with a smile.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. We weren't chosen, so it's okay to say it."
While saying this, Remus looked at Hei Tong and the others, and they nodded.
"We originally wanted to participate in the Imperial Assassination Corps election, but because the Imperial Assassination Corps only has an elite group of seven people, we all failed to be selected. However, Hei Tong's sister, Chi Tong, happened to be the seventh place. So although Hei Tong didn't get selected, she got this big house because of Chi Tong, and we can all live in it."
Wu Min smiled faintly and said that for her, having such a stable life was enough.
A trace of resentment crossed Yin's face. "I thought I could make it into the elite group of seven, but I just fell short by a tiny bit."
Gin's words made Koizumi look over. Was the other party ranked very high?
Remus quickly explained, "Gin's assassination ranking is tenth, Kuroneji is eighth, and Wu Min and I are very low. In fact, if Kuroneji and Gin had stayed in the assassination team, they might have been able to enter the elite group."
Koizumi nodded in sudden realization. Indeed, if she had stayed in the assassination unit, she might have had a chance to join the elite group. It seemed like this Gin was a very hardworking girl.
But then again, I've heard that the Imperial Assassination Corps is a very strict and brutal competition with many casualties. Looking at them, why do they look like...
"What was your campaign like?" Koizumi couldn't help but ask.
"It's a competition where the fittest survive, and the competition is always limited. The instructors are very strict, but if you get injured, there are dedicated medical personnel. I heard that if you get seriously injured during a mission, the Empire will provide a special pension, so many people like to stay there."
Gu Quan was slightly startled, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes. It seemed that this empire treated its own people very well.
Koizumi didn't ask any more questions and just focused on eating.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, with bursts of laughter coming from time to time, and the atmosphere between Hei Tong and others was very warm.
A rare feeling of loneliness emerged in Koizumi's heart. To be honest, he couldn't fit in at all.
The warm atmosphere between them was one of "home", but unfortunately, she could not fit in no matter what, because Koizumi was not from this world after all. According to Yakumo Yukari, once the world was corrected, everyone, everything, and everything she knew in this world would forget her, except for the Heroic Spirits who might be summoned by the world. Everything she did would be without any reward.
No, it cannot be said that there is no reward. After all, I can still find my own memories during this journey.
For Koizumi, recalling his memories is the most important thing now.
But why, when I know they won’t remember me, I still feel lonely?
Seeing a familiar face, but the other person has no memory of me at all...
When Koizumi thought about this, he felt a suffocating sensation. Surely he shouldn't take the people and events here too seriously? Because if he cared too much, the more heartbreak he would suffer.
Even Reimu and the others didn't sit together and talk and laugh so seriously while having a meal.
Looking at the bowl of rice in his hands, Koizumi's heart was suddenly filled with a wave of complicated emotions.
As if noticing Koizumi, Kurohō nudged Koizumi's chest lightly with her elbow.
"What's wrong?" Hei Tong's movements were very light, but also very obvious, and immediately attracted Koizumi's attention.
"Hmm...will you come again next time? Come and have dinner with me?" Hei Tong couldn't help but look at Koizumi with anticipation.
Although he knew that the other party probably only cared about the food he cooked, Koizumi couldn't help but feel happy.
Perhaps for Koizumi, he is currently unable to retrieve his past memories, but being able to leave behind new and memorable memories is also a happy thing. Having memories to reminisce is always better than having no memories at all.
Besides, Koizumi wouldn't mind making new friends.
Although maybe I won't see this new friend again after I leave.
However, if you are always afraid of the sadness of separation and do nothing, you will definitely regret it in the end.
"Of course, if you don't mind me coming here." Koizumi said with a faint smile.
Hei Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, and Wu Min and Yin also had some expectations. Remus' words -
"Then why don't you just live here and be our chef?"
As soon as Remus finished speaking, Hei Tong's face suddenly turned red, Wu Min couldn't help but cover her forehead, and Yin was even more direct.
Silver struck Rems with a knife, and she immediately held her head in tears. It was quite cute.
However, even Koizumi couldn't help but reveal a hint of embarrassment.
"Idiot, can you please think carefully before you speak?" Yin scolded immediately.
Koizumi is a man after all, and all the people living here are women. It doesn't seem right that a man would inexplicably live in the home of four women. Even if they are confident in their own abilities, they would not let a man live here casually.
Koizumi was also aware of this, so an awkward look appeared on his face.
Chapter 20: Noble Lady Alia
Gu Quan couldn't help but stretch and glanced at the streets which were already approaching evening. Ordinary people were still running shops there, and they were living a very comfortable life, which made Gu Quan feel happy.
Humans are the kind of creatures that are affected by the surrounding environment, such as the weather. When the weather is gloomy, people's mood will also become gloomy. When the weather is sunny, people's mood will be much better.
Koizumi was one of those people who was influenced by his surroundings. Seeing such a harmonious scene, Koizumi felt an inexplicable sense of peace in his heart.
But then again, where were Reimu and Qin Xinren? No matter what, they couldn't be found.
I had originally planned to use the Command Spell to summon them, but who knew I would suddenly meet Hei Tong, and I was really worried about them.
"This is really troublesome." A hint of helplessness appeared on Koizumi's face.
Afterwards, Koizumi focused his attention on the Command Seals in his hand. He wondered if he could find a corner and use them to summon them.
Thinking this, Koizumi glanced around, seemingly searching for some deserted corner.
Using Command Spells to summon Servants yourself is inherently conspicuous, so it's better to avoid being noticed if possible.
Also, he could actually go find Cell, but if possible, Koizumi doesn't want to trouble him.
Just as Koizumi was scanning his surroundings, a pleasant voice sounded behind him.
"Excuse me, are you having any trouble?" Koizumi couldn't help but look behind him, only to see a blonde girl standing behind him with a gentle smile on her face, looking very cute.
Behind this aristocratic-looking girl were two people who looked like guards, highlighting her status.
Behind the two guards were a man and a woman. Their attire was out of tune with the three people in front of them, and also slightly different from the ordinary people in the imperial capital. It was obvious that they were from outside the imperial capital.
"I'm just worried about how to find my friends. What's wrong?"
Koizumi tried his best to be polite.
The girl in front of him smiled faintly and answered.
"My name is Arya. They are both in the capital looking for friends. It's getting late now. Why don't they stay at my house for a night and then slowly look for their friends? I can also help."
Gu Quan frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flickering in his eyes.
It's not that Koizumi doesn't want to. If someone is willing to help, he would definitely be happy to do so.
The sudden disappearance of Reimu and Qin Xin was so strange. If the contract hadn't been there, Koizumi would have thought they were attacked. Since the contract was still there, it meant that there was nothing wrong with Reimu and the others.
What puzzled Koizumi was that, if there wasn't a problem, why couldn't he find anyone?
"Is this okay?" Koizumi hesitated. It wasn't his habit to rely on others for help, especially a woman. Although he still relied on Reimu and the others to fight in the battle at the singularity, Koizumi wasn't someone without self-awareness. He could still find someone to help him.
"There's nothing wrong with it," said the noble girl named Alia. She glanced at the man and woman behind her and chuckled softly. "They're here to look for their friends, but it's getting late, so they can only come to my house to rest. I often help newcomers to the Imperial Capital. Besides, it's getting late. Although the Imperial Capital is peaceful, anyone wandering around at night will be caught by the security forces. It's strictly forbidden to wander around at night. That's the rule of the Empire."
The imperial capital is very peaceful. I heard from Seryuu that there is an assassination organization called "NIGHTRAID"?
A hint of doubt flashed across Koizumi's eyes, but he didn't think too much about it. Perhaps Alia was talking about the people in the imperial capital.
And according to Sailu, [NIGHT RAID] is very rampant, and people who go out at night will probably accidentally run into it.
The Empire probably arranged this rule for the sake of the people in the imperial capital. In comparison, the Empire doesn't seem to be that bad. But if the Empire is not that bad, why would that person named Akagi betray the Empire?
Unconsciously, Koizumi's thoughts had already jumped to Akame, the traitor to the empire.
"How is it?" Ailia asked slowly, seemingly very patient.
"Since the young lady has said so, I will respectfully obey your order." Gu Quan responded with a faint smile.
It’s not easy to reject the other person’s kindness. After all, she is a woman, so it’s not good to refuse directly.
But then again, it's almost nighttime... Why does everything around me seem different after I've had a good night's sleep?
Alia smiled faintly and didn't say much.
At the same time, Alia and the man and woman behind the two guards hurried forward.
