Use FGO to open the second dimension

Of course, this is just a backup plan. After all, if Matou Kariya agrees, then he will just rescue Sakura Toosaka as if he has nothing to do. If Matou Kariya does not agree to cooperate, rescuing Sakura Toosaka will be used as a handle to make the other party grateful, so that the other party will have to cooperate even if she does not intend to.

Consider it as a reward for Koizumi rescuing Tousaka Sakura, and there is no way Matou Kariya would ignore Koizumi's invitation.

This is Koizumi's strategy, but to be frank, it's also an excuse Koizumi makes for himself.

Chelsea nodded, gave Koizumi a reassuring look, and slowly walked out.

Diarmuid also nodded to Koizumi. Since he had already decided to lend a helping hand to Koizumi and the others, he would definitely follow their orders and contribute to saving the world.

With Diarmuid's help, Koizumi believes that Chelsea will have no problem rescuing Tousaka Sakura.

And with Sakura Matou here, according to what El-Melloi II said, there is no doubt that Sakura is with him, and even if the cooperation between him and Matou Kariya breaks down, Matou Kariya will get her back afterwards.

So he no longer had to worry about cooperating with Matou Kariya. All he had to do next was think about how to defeat Archer and deal with Rider. Although he wanted to save Rider as El-Melloi II had said, based on what Koizumi had learned from Rider's words and actions, Rider was not someone who could be dealt with by common sense. If he continued with his previous actions, Rider would sooner or later confront him.

After all, Rider is also a hegemon. How could such a person be bound by common sense?

Although Koizumi is not a hegemon, he has at least come into contact with similar people.

Of course, this similarity is only in identity. Although the young emperor has ambition, he is still very incompetent as a monarch. Although he has this ideal, he ultimately made the wrong choice, otherwise the singularity would not have occurred.

Gu Quan always had a certain respect for the young emperor because he was aware of his mistakes and knew that he had to correct them, but he chose the wrong method. If he had another chance, he would be a wise ruler.

Even Najeshitan admitted this.

Back to the point, after Chelsea left, Koizumi turned his gaze to El-Melloi II who was standing beside him.

"I'll leave the communication with Matou Kariya to you. Of course, there's no need to mention Sakura. Everything can be discussed after Chelsea and Diarmuid succeed. If we mention it beforehand, they might think we have ill intentions."

Koizumi was right. Since the other party thought highly of Sakura, he would naturally feel that he was using Sakura to threaten him.

If you just say something like "I'm doing this for Sakura's own good", it's all empty talk and is completely useless.

It would be better to prove this with actual actions to avoid any unexpected situations.

El-Melloi II nodded slightly, agreeing with Koizumi's words, but—

"Alas, you are always doing things in vain." El-Melloi II sighed slightly.

Gu Quan curled his lips but didn't say anything. After all, he was indeed doing something meaningless.

On the surface, it seems like it was just a casual act, but in reality, it was just done to have a clear conscience.

"Leave the Berserker Master's side to me. If nothing unexpected happens, Matou Kariya should cooperate with us, but it is not ruled out that the Berserker Master will ignore it." El-Melloi II speculated.

Koizumi couldn't help but nod his head. El-Melloi II was right. That was why Koizumi needed Sakura to be by his side. With Sakura around, cooperation was basically a done deal!

Of course, there's another point: even Koizumi couldn't stand the darkness of the Matou family.

After all, the mere thought of insects eating one's flesh and blood made Koizumi feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

If possible, it would be better to bring the child out. Although some people will leave in the end, which may be a bit irresponsible, Koizumi is also clear that if he doesn't bring the child out now, the child will only suffer more.

Rather than letting that child face a dark future, it is better to give her a future with more possibilities.

----

In front of the gate of a rather large mansion somewhere in Fuyuki City.

The architectural style of this house is more Western, which deviates from the traditional Japanese style of houses.

"I heard from those people that this is the Matou family. It seems to be correct. I can indeed feel the magical aura. It should be a barrier..." Chelsea glanced around and then turned her gaze to Diarmuid.

On the way, Chelsea already knew why Koizumi wanted Diarmuid to follow him.

Diarmuid's two Noble Phantasms can be put to good use. The Demon-Breaking Red Rose (GaeDearg) alone can be of great use here.

Chelsea glanced at the door in front of her. Although she was not a magician, she could sense something unusual on the door. This was probably the so-called magic barrier. If it was opened casually, the owner of the barrier would notice its existence as quickly as possible.

"Thank you for your help, Lancer..." Chelsea turned her gaze to Diarmuid beside her.

Diarmuid raised his right hand and slashed the tip of his vermilion spear towards the barrier on the door. With just a light stroke, the barrier was broken in an instant, as if it were a piece of thin paper being torn by a machete.

It's a really useful treasure. Of course, it's only useful in this situation.

Chelsea glanced at Diarmuid and complained in her heart.

Of course, Chelsea was still very confident in her Noble Phantasm. Even if she broke in, she didn't have to worry about being noticed, so she just sighed in her heart and didn't say much.

After solving the barrier, Chelsea and Diarmuid rushed in directly.

Huh? You mean why didn't Chelsea hide in there?

Please! Diarmuid is such a big guy, even if Chelsea can hide herself, Diarmuid can't hide either. It's better to just follow Diarmuid in and let him fight in close combat without any fear.

You just need to be responsible for saving people. Chelsea has already assigned your own work.

Chelsea frowned slightly, and finally, she fixed her eyes on a gate in the deepest part of the Matou family's house.

——There is also a magical barrier there.

Chapter 470 I...I really don't need to endure the pain anymore?

Looking at the timid little girl in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Quan's eyes. You really managed to lure her here, and from the looks of it, it seems like you completely forcibly snatched her away.

After all, Sakura Tohsaka looked timid. If it was Chelsea who abducted her, then in such an unfamiliar situation, Sakura should have a certain degree of dependence on Chelsea. However, this girl was looking at everyone present with fear at this moment, even Chelsea was within her range of fear.

This also means that Chelsea's method of bringing the other party here must be very improper.

"You snatched Sakura from the Matou family, right? What happened to the Matou family in the end?"

Koizumi glanced at Chelsea in front of him speechlessly and slowly asked.

"Of course. Apart from robbing her, do you think there's any other way to bring this completely numb little girl back? The only way is to rob her, okay? Of course, I've already burned down the Matou residence."

Chelsea spoke calmly, without a trace of emotion on her face.

But when Chelsea looked at Sakura Tohsaka beside her, a hint of distress flashed in her eyes.

It was the first time she saw a little girl who was in so much pain that she was numb. It was really frustrating.

Koizumi slowly walked in front of Tousaka Sakura, slowly squatted down, and gently stroked the little girl's head.

"Sakura, how are you? Are you feeling unwell? If so, please tell me."

Koizumi tried to sound very gentle, fearing that Sakura might be frightened or something.

"No." Sakura Tohsaka answered simply, and the fear in her eyes eased a little.

"I'm glad you're okay, Mashu. Take Sakura to take a bath first." Koizumi looked at Mashu in front of him.

"Okay, Koizumi-senpai. I'll take you to the bath, Sakura-san."

Mashu bent down and extended her right hand towards Tousaka Sakura with a smile.

But Toosaka Sakura did not raise her hand to touch him, nor did she make any movement.

A look of doubt appeared on Mashu's face, and she spoke slowly.

"Ms. Sakura? What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with Sakura? It's okay, this sister won't hurt you." Ritsuka also showed a kind smile.

"Big Brother, Big Sister, why did you snatch me away? Is it really to save me? If so, please let me go back. Grandpa said that I am already Matou Sakura, not Tousaka Sakura."

As she said this, Sakura's tone became heavier and her eyes became darker.

"Grandpa will definitely be angry if you do this. Once he's angry, he'll punish me. So I have to go back. Apart from that home, there's nowhere else I can go back to. Although there will be some pain in that home, as long as I endure it, it will be fine. If I endure it, I can survive..."

Even Ritsuka couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted after hearing these words, and his fists clenched subconsciously. What kind of pain had he endured to have such an expression and such a tone of voice in the face of pain?

Chelsea's eyes couldn't help but dim slightly. Sakura always reminded her of what happened in her own world in the past.

There are many poor children like Sakura in my world, and I have gotten used to it.

El-Melloi II sighed slightly. Knowing the darkness of the Matou family, he didn't want to say much. After all, all of this could be blamed on Sakura's father. From a magician's point of view, Tōsaka Tokiomi might not have done anything wrong, but the only thing he did wrong was that he was blind and actually handed Sakura over to such a person.

Konpaku Youmu, however, remained calm. As a half-human, half-spirit, she knew the past lives of many ghosts in the underworld, including many humans with tragic fates. Therefore, she didn't react much. Instead of lamenting here, it would be better to give this girl a bright future to fill the void left by her troubled past.

Koizumi was silent for a moment, then he quietly squatted down and came in front of Sakura.

"You don't need to be patient now, Sakura. You've tried so hard. Since I asked Chelsea and Diarmuid to take you away from the Matou family, I will naturally be responsible for you to the end. Besides, how can there be no place to go back? You still have your mother and sister. Don't you want to go back and start a new life with them?"

Koizumi's face was filled with tenderness, but within that tenderness there was a hint of anger.

He was furious at the Matou family, their darkness truly infuriating Koizumi. If it weren't for the era he'd arrived in, Koizumi would never have let Sakura suffer this way.

Even though Chelsea burned down the Matou residence, Koizumi still felt that it was not enough.

The Matou family has not yet paid the price for his foolish actions.

"Will I be able to see them again?" Sakura Tohsaka asked slowly with a dazed look on her face.

"Yeah!" Koizumi nodded heavily.

"Don't we have to go to the insect cave anymore?" Sakura Tohsaka's dazed look flickered with anticipation.

"Yeah!" Gu Quan still nodded, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"I... I really don't need to endure the pain anymore?" Gradually, the girl's expression began to become lively, and her originally numb expression finally began to ease, which surprised the onlookers.

"You don't need to be patient anymore! I'm here! I won't let you suffer any longer!"

Koizumi's expression became increasingly gentle, and his eyes began to survey the girl's entire body, a gleam of brilliance flickering in them.

"Youmu, based on your understanding of the other people in Gensokyo, do you know anyone who can deal with the Crest Worm?"

As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise. Koizumi was really helpless against the crested worm in Sakura's body because he had no experience in this area. Although he possessed Reimu's power, he mostly learned Reimu's special skills, not the shrine maiden's purification system.

He also didn't know whether the Oriental priestesses had the ability to purify the crested worms.

Compared to Koizumi, it's obvious that Youmu knows more about the abilities of the other people in Gensokyo.

If Koizumi didn't carefully feel the power passed down, he wouldn't have a clear idea of ​​what their abilities were. For example, if he didn't carefully feel the realm of Yakumo Yukari, he wouldn't know what kind of ability it was.

Youmu was silent for a moment, then slowly looked up at Koizumi in front of him.

"As a shrine maiden, Miss Reimu has the ability to purify her body. Lady Murasaki is also undoubtedly capable of this. The power of the realm can be said to be omnipotent. Lord Enma and the God of Death on the other side of the world can also do this without much trouble. However, since she is not a divine body, Miss Komachi may have some difficulties, but Lady Eihime has no problem at all."

Chapter 471 Reimu's Purification

Youmu's answer was not beyond Koizumi's expectations. Everyone in Gensokyo has their own special abilities, and there are only a few who can deal with the Marking Bugs. This is simply because everyone has their own expertise.

Although Shiki Eiji's ability as Yama is to distinguish right from wrong, as Yama he also has some abilities such as reincarnation, judgment, and interference with souls, so purifying the engraved bugs is not a problem.

As for Reimu, she is originally an Oriental shrine maiden, and purification is a skill she is good at.

As for the remaining one, Zi, I don’t know what there is that Zi is not good at. Her realm can be said to involve all aspects. The word "omniscient and omnipotent" can almost be used to describe the power of Zi's realm.

After hearing Youmu's words, Koizumi nodded silently and slowly raised his right hand.

Koizumi's Command Seals had fully recovered, and it would only take three days to regenerate the three Command Seals.

According to what Reimu said before, if you want to summon across singularities, you need to use three Command Seals at the same time.

However, this singularity only transcends the historical singularity, that is, the singularity of Ritsuka.

If it were the singularity on Koizumi's side, according to what Yakumo Yukari said, the singularity on her side couldn't be transferred across singularities at all, so even if all three Command Seals were used, it would probably be useless.

"This is truly speechless. I actually used up all three Command Seals on the very day I just recovered them."

Koizumi muttered to himself, a helpless look on his face.

"In the name of the three Command Seals! Ruler Hakurei Reimu! Come to me quickly!"

A dazzling red light burst out from Koizumi's right hand, and under the rainbow-colored light, a figure slowly emerged.

Reimu was completely bewildered. She had just been about to take a good rest, but how did she suddenly find herself here with Koizumi?

However, when Reimu saw Koizumi's right hand without a single Command Seal, she realized that she would have to work overtime again.

After taking a quick glance at Tosaka Sakura, Reimu frowned slightly. She felt a disgusting aura from her body. This disgusting aura came from her body. It must be something disgusting.

"Reimu, I'm sorry, you have to start working overtime again. I'll give you a box of stomach medicine later. Hang in there!"

Koizumi looked at Reimu sternly and patted her shoulder hard.

The corner of Ling Meng's mouth twitched fiercely. If she didn't want to go back and rest quickly, she would definitely punch the other person in the head without hesitation! You know it's not easy for me to work overtime, but you still want me to work overtime!

The next moment, Koizumi gave Reimu a look and pushed Sakura in front of the girl.

"Reimu, you've sensed it too. The crested worms in Sakura's body are causing great harm to her. I need your purifying power as a miko to help cleanse Sakura's body and wash away the crested worms."

Reimu rolled her eyes at Koizumi. What was he talking about, like, "Wash this girl's body?" How could that sound so weird?

It's just a cleansing, but why does it feel like a bath with incense burning...

The corners of Reimu's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything. After all, this was her specialty.
