Use FGO to open the second dimension

"You've chosen the wrong target. If you'd chosen that half-human, half-spirit creature from the underworld, there might still be a glimmer of hope..."

Marisa's mouth twitched fiercely, and she immediately glared at Remlia. If she could win, she would have rushed forward long ago.

The underworld... Have they ever communicated with that kind of place... Joan of Arc couldn't help but be slightly shocked. No matter which mythological system it was, once it involved the underworld, it would definitely involve the gods of the underworld. Any servant that could be involved in the underworld would not be weak.

It’s a pity that Joan of Arc was wrong this time. There is still a big gap between the Lord of the Underworld and the God of the Underworld in Gensokyo.

"Marisa is right, Reimu is very powerful and reliable, so please rest assured..."

Of course, Koizumi is referring to Ruler Reimu. As for Archer Reimu, let her rest for a while.

I guess if Koizumi brought Archer Reimu here to do hard labor, she would be in her own.

Thinking this, Koizumi slowly raised his right hand, and the scarlet Command Seal began to emit a dazzling light.

"In the name of the Command Seal—Ruler Hakurei Reimu, come to me at once!"

A huge amount of magical power surged out from the Command Seal, and the next moment, a figure slowly appeared beside Koizumi.

"I didn't expect to have to go back to work so soon... But speaking of which, Master, next time you shouldn't use the cross-singularity summoning of Heroic Spirits... The Command Seals in your hand are different from those used in the normal Holy Grail War..."

Saying this, Ruler Reimu slowly appeared beside Koizumi, her eyes fixed on him.

"Look at the Command Seal on your hand..."

Koizumi was slightly startled, only then realizing that all three Command Seals had disappeared...

"The Command Seals themselves cannot summon Servants across singularities. Yakumo Yukari developed this ability just to be on the safe side. However, it will consume the power of three Command Seals, so try not to use it this way..."

Ruler Reimu showed a helpless expression and shook her head.

"I see..." Koizumi suddenly revealed a look of realization.

Ruler Reimu's gaze turned to Siegfried in front of him, then glanced at everyone present.

"I roughly understand what's going on. It's the curse on him, right? It's indeed very troublesome, but... could that saint over there lend me a hand? Your baptismal chant should be able to help me remove the curse..."

If Ruler Reimu thinks about it, the curse can still be removed, but it would be too difficult for one person to do it. Since someone can help her, why not let the other person help her? Although it is not an Archer job, if it can save some trouble, Ruler Reimu is still willing to try to save some trouble as much as possible, so as not to waste so much effort.

"As expected, you're also a Ruler... Just now, I think... your real name was revealed..."

Joan of Arc frowned slightly and spoke hesitantly.

Ruler Reimu shook her head silently, her eyes fixed on Jeanne in front of her.

"You're wrong. It's not about seeing through your real name. I'm only the Ruler of Gensokyo, not the Ruler of the Holy Grail War. I don't have the same privileges as other Rulers. The reason I know your real name is because I was entertained by that guy in Chaldea... Tsk, he's such an easy guy to fool..."

As she said this, Ruler Reimu glanced at Dr. Roman beside her.

Dr. Roman couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. There was nothing he could do. Who knew that the gap monster actually knew his true identity? This really caught Dr. Roman off guard, but he didn't say much.

But then again, that gap monster is really... really frustrating...

But one thing is certain, this gap monster is still trustworthy, so it is not bad to have such an ally.

"Okay, stop wasting time talking. Let's help this guy remove the curse first..."

Saying this, Ruler Reimu fixed his gaze on Siegfried in front of him.

Chapter 296 Grouping?

At this moment, the weakness on Siegfried's body had been swept away. It was obvious that the power of the curse had completely disappeared. The power of Ruler Reimu and Jeanne was obviously put to good use...

Koizumi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This was good, and he didn't have to look for that Saint Servant. It wasn't that Koizumi didn't want to increase his combat power, but he just wanted to avoid any unnecessary trouble, so that he could save himself some worry.

Ritsuka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as Siegfried was okay, his own combat power would also be improved.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you. I sincerely thank you, Mr. Koizumi, Ritsuka... No, Mr. Master."

Siegfried's weak look faded away, and he looked at Koizumi and Ritsuka in front of him with full energy.

Ritsuka couldn't help but be slightly stunned. She couldn't understand why Siegfried recognized her as the Master instead of Koizumi?

Even though his presence is weak and Koizumi's leadership is much stronger than his, yet...

Of course, Ritsuka didn't know that it was actually Ruler Reimu who made Siegfried like this, because in fact, the burning of human history in this world had nothing to do with Koizumi. Even if the human history of this world line was burned out, Koizumi would still be alive and well.

So if you want to recognize a Master, Ritsuka is the best choice, because it was actually Ritsuka who saved human history, not Koizumi. Koizumi only appeared here to help Ritsuka out of fulfilling his friendship.

Ritsuka of course didn't know this, and Koizumi glanced thoughtfully at Ruler Reimu and the others behind him.

He roughly guessed the reason, but he really liked to meddle in other people's affairs... Even if they didn't explain, Koizumi would explain the reason and let Siegfried and Ritsuka sign a contract...

Ritsuka didn't think too much about it. Since Siegfried said so, it would be a bit too much if he refused.

Afterwards, under Koizumi's witness, Siegfried and Ritsuka concluded a contract and Siegfried became Ritsuka's temporary servant.

Mary and Mozart's words remained the same, they were still staying by Ritsuka's side as masterless servants. After all, they did not take the initiative to mention the matter of concluding a contract, so Ritsuka was not in a position to speak up.

Well, according to Koizumi's speculation, it's not that Mary doesn't want to sign a contract with Ritsuka, it's probably just her personality that makes her not take it seriously. After all, Mary's personality is quite natural.

But considering Mary's love for France, this girl can also be considered a brainwashed person.

"Well, now that Lord Siegfried has fully recovered, can we go straight to cause trouble for that impostor?" Ritsuka's eyes flashed with excitement. Now that he has a trick to deal with Fafnir, can he go straight to cause trouble for him... That's what Ritsuka thought.

By the way, after helping Siegfried to heal, Reimu was expelled from Chaldea. This was because Reimu used the Command Seals to teleport directly across the singularity. To this singularity, she was a foreign object that forcibly broke in, unlike Jeanne d'Arc and Alter who were summoned. Therefore, she would immediately return to Chaldea after the magic power of the Command Seals was exhausted.

"...I have another idea..." Koizumi glanced at the surrounding Servants, and when everyone's eyes turned to him, he slowly said, "According to the way the Suppression Force works, no matter how strong the enemy is, in order to balance the battle power, they will at least summon some Servants to assist. I, Akame, Kurome, Seleu, Miss Remi, and Marisa arrived midway, and we are not under the jurisdiction of the Suppression Force. So originally, Ritsuka, you only had five Servants: Mash, Marie, Mozart, Jeanne, and Siegfried. Marie and Mozart probably came because of Knight Dion, as did Samson. Jeanne came because of that imposter, and Siegfried because of Fafnir. So..."

At this moment, as if understanding what Koizumi said, Ritsuka's eyes suddenly widened.

"Koizumi, you mean there might be other Servants? Are there other neutral Servants in this France?"

Koizumi nodded silently. If Saint Martha was also summoned, then there would be at least one Saint Servant among the neutral Servant. And based on Martha's relationship with Dragons, this Saint Servant might also be involved with Dragons.

"What's more, most of France has fallen. If possible, it would be better to retake these lost territories."

Joan of Arc was slightly stunned, and nodded in her heart. Indeed, she would like to do so if possible.

It wouldn't be a big deal if France continued to fall like this. If possible, she would also like to do so, but -

Joan of Arc is now a heroic spirit, and she cannot interfere in the affairs of the living so casually, so it is difficult for her to say anything.

"Hmm... If that's the case, then let's split up... While it's safer to act together, wouldn't it be more efficient to separate? After all, there are quite a few of us now, so grouping up will ensure safety..."

Mary spoke slowly, causing Koizumi to look at her a second time. This woman had some brains...

but--

As if noticing Koizumi's gaze, Mary glanced at him, then pouted, a look of discontent plastered across her face. "Hey! Koizumi! You're looking at me with that irritating look again... Are you saying something bad about me?"

"No, how could I possibly say that I think you're a naive person a second time..."

The corners of Gu Quan's mouth curled up slightly, he always felt that teasing this girl was very interesting.

"Ha! Didn't you just say that I was a naive person..." Mary suddenly showed a look of dissatisfaction.

After Koizumi and Mari's annoyance, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Okay, Miss Mary, Mr. Koizumi was just joking..." Mashu said quickly.

"Actually... I don't recommend working in groups. It would be better to act together. Although this might take more time, it will definitely ensure everyone's safety..." Koizumi also revealed a serious expression.

Although Mary suggested a safer plan, Koizumi never lacked time. At most, it would just be a waste of time. It was a safer option for everyone to be together, so Koizumi did this. He didn't want to see anyone leave.

"Eh! Why is that... This is obviously more efficient..."

"Of course I'm worried that you'll run to a snack shop because you're hungry, put the task aside, and get lost again. Then everyone will have to spend time looking for you..." Mozart joked.

"What...Aren't you the kind of person who is easily misunderstood by friends?"

Mary's pretty face flushed, and she quickly turned her head away and snorted coldly.

"Well, you two really are a pair of bickering lovers. You're always bickering. What was wrong with you, Mozart, to propose to Marie? Marie shouldn't have been even ten years old at that time. If you were to do that in modern times, you'd definitely be sentenced to at least three years in prison, with a maximum penalty of death..." Having said that, Koizumi couldn't help but look speechless.

"Propose...? Eh? To Miss Mary? Mr. Amadeus?"

Mashu's pretty face suddenly turned red, and a look of shock appeared on her face.

"Huh? Don't you know, Mash? This is quite famous."

Roman was slightly startled, then began to explain slowly.

"Mr. Amadeus, who is standing there, proposed to Mary, who was seven, when he was six years old."

When Roman said this, Koizumi couldn't help but put on a deadpan expression. You really are a lolita complex, aren't you... Mozart...

Chapter 297 Dazzling Mary

I have to say that Mary is a weirdo. When she mentioned that Mozart proposed to her, she was not shy at all. Instead, she looked very excited, as if the person being proposed to was not her.

Besides, you already have a husband, so can you please control your excited expression? It can easily lead to misunderstanding.

Well, this husband is only in name only, and it is more of a political marriage, but it was also Mary's own choice.

"Yeah. I saw him fall, so I reached out to pull him up, and he just stared at me with his eyes shining brightly."

"Thank you, beautiful one. My name is Amadeus. If a beautiful person like you is not yet engaged, may I be the first to propose to you?] That's what he said to me! That was the first time since I was born that my heart was so pounding!" When she said this, Mary's eyes showed a gleam of light.

Koizumi couldn't help but let out a look of amusement. This Mozart was quite good at talking.

"I never thought this story would be passed down to later generations... It's simply a nightmare..." Mozart couldn't help but cover his forehead.

"Oh, of course. I'm happily telling everyone about it!"

Haha, okay, the reason why this matter was passed down to later generations has finally been found out. It turns out it’s because of this queen.

"So it's because of you! So it's because of you! Didn't you refuse? What a devilish woman!"

"That can't be helped. It's my fault that I can't decide who I want to marry... and besides..."

At this point, Mary's voice paused for a moment, which made everyone look curious.

"You know what happened to me afterwards, don't you? My decision was the right one. I'm glad I refused. Because of that, you're loved as a musician. Because of that, I'll face death with the infamy of a foolish queen. It couldn't be helped. It couldn't be helped. Who made me so immersed in the dream of love? I must have loved France so deeply. You can't love one person, you can only love the whole country."

"It is precisely because I am such an ignorant woman that I was sent to the guillotine by my own people." Unconsciously, the atmosphere began to become solemn, and even Remlia couldn't help but look at Mary again.

Unless the French Queen truly falls in love with someone that day, until that day comes, her love will always be universal love, not love for her lover, but love for her country and her people. Such love is undoubtedly incomparably great, selfless, and tolerant, which is difficult for everyone present to do.

This is something that only Marie, who had always been seeking love and loved everything about France during her lifetime, could do.

So there is no doubt that Marie Antoinette was an absolute philanthropist...

I believe that if she falls in love with someone unknowingly, she will cause immense trouble to that person.

Because it is impossible to be sure whether Mary's love for him is philanthropy for the people or true love.

Koizumi couldn't help but sigh slightly. Never mind whether this had anything to do with him or not. Why think so much about it?

"Mary, this..." Joan of Arc seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"...What are you talking about? Are you an idiot?" After a moment's silence, Mozart said slowly.

"Am I stupid?" Mary said innocently.

"Of course. You're totally mistaken. You said you loved France, didn't you? You're wrong. It's not you who loves France. It's France that loves you."

"Huh? But isn't this strange? Does that mean that the person who loved me ended up killing me?"

Mari couldn't help but show a puzzled look, but Koizumi was more clear.

Human beings are actually this kind of creatures. Aren’t there enough cases of love turning into hate?

"Hmm. Humans are just like that." Mozart slowly expressed a similar sentiment to Koizumi's. "Love can easily turn to hatred. It's precisely because you're loved so deeply that you're hated."

"... Because I was loved, I was hated... While deeply in love, I personally attacked the one I deeply loved..."

Mashu seemed to understand something and muttered to herself.

"Is that so? Humans are truly incomprehensible. And so, even until my death, no, even until my death, I never touched upon this love."

Mary couldn't help but shook her head, with a complicated look on her face, but then a bright and dazzling smile slowly emerged on her face. Looking at her like this, even all the outstanding women present couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves.

"But I think this is fine. Because I am Marie Antoinette, a woman deeply loved by France!"

"..." Koizumi was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Alright, enough talk, let's get on with it. As for the grouping, forget it. I just don't want anyone to drop out. I'd rather be cautious than overly bold and end up with something wrong... Let's try to avoid this kind of thing as much as possible... At least if we're all together, we're safest..."

Although there are some concerns, there is no doubt that Koizumi's arrangement is the safest.

Li Xiang couldn't help but nod. It would be best for everyone to act together, and she agreed with that.

And to be honest, she couldn't accept the fact that her comrade suddenly died. It was really... heartbreaking.

"By the way, Jeanne, if we keep going forward, where will we end up?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Koizumi's eyes. Joan of Arc should be more familiar with France during this era. Even Marie would be inferior to her because this era happened not long after Joan of Arc's death.
