Akame and Ciel were responsible for protecting Mine, and would retreat immediately if they saw Koizumi leaving the imperial capital.
Chelsea followed Koizumi while observing the situation as they retreated to prevent any accidents.
Chelsea's imperial weapon ability is very helpful and can play a significant role at critical moments.
Although Koizumi has complained many times that there is actually no need for Maine and the others to help, Najeshitan just likes to worry about things that are not necessary. However, this is also normal. In fact, Koizumi himself is also very wary of that guy Bud, not to mention Najeshitan, who is of average strength. She knows Esdeath's strength clearly, so she can guess the strength of Bud, who is about the same as Esdeath.
These two people are probably the top masters of this singularity. If nothing unexpected happens...
If possible, Koizumi didn't want to fight these two abnormally powerful guys. It was too troublesome.
Reimu certainly doesn't want to suddenly confront such an opponent. Even Reimu would find it very troublesome.
"Koizumi, Chelsea, be careful, don't let anyone see you..."
Akame walked in front of Koizumi and Chelsea. If it weren't for the prohibition, she would have hoped to go in with Chelsea and Koizumi. Unfortunately, with her own strength, it would be difficult to dodge the Imperial Capital Guard... no, the soldiers under General Budd. If she were to face the Empire's general, it would be even more difficult to escape.
Therefore, Akahime also knew that if she went with them, she would become a burden to Koizumi and Chelsea's retreat.
In desperation, Akagi could only choose to protect Marin here with Hill.
Originally, Hill was the only one protecting Marne, but out of concern that Hill could not do it alone, after all, General Bud's subordinates could not be compared with ordinary people, so Chi Tong decided to help Hill protect Marne.
Although Main said that she did not need to be protected like a princess and that she was capable of fighting, she was always rejected.
Koizumi said that there is no difference between your fighting ability and no fighting ability. If you don't need protection, who needs protection?
Even Chelsea, whose strength is considered to be at the bottom of [NIGHTRAID], has the ability to escape alone.
But... once you are alone, it will be difficult to escape from the enemy.
But to be honest, Koizumi didn't believe that masters like Esdeath and Bud would be deceived by Chelsea.
If masters like them could trick Esdeath and Bud, they would probably be able to brag about it for the rest of their lives.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen...at least nothing will happen to me. As for Chelsea, she has many ways to stay alive, so there's no need to be afraid. Even if she's discovered, there's no need to worry about being caught."
Rolling his eyes at Akame, Koizumi even glanced at Chelsea beside him. Only then did he realize that Chelsea was proudly puffing out her chest, as if she was looking at Myne with contempt, with an indescribable smug look on her face.
"A small, flat-chested guy with no means of survival. All he knows is relying on Chi Tong and Xi'er for protection... He's so useless..."
Looking at the smug Chelsea in front of her, Myne gritted her teeth. The sound was like the sound of glass scratching, making people shudder. Was this guy scratching the glass? Was their relationship really so hostile?
But then again, although Chelsea's words were harsh, she was also hinting that Maine should improve her close combat ability. After all, what's the use of an archer if he can't fight in close combat. Archer of Fuyuki is a very typical example. As an archer, he did not forget the skills of an archer, but at the same time he also did not forget to improve his close combat ability.
Gu Quan glanced at Marin and shook his head helplessly. Forget it. With Marin's thin arms and legs, even if she really cultivated close combat skills, she probably wouldn't be very powerful. A real master would still be killed instantly if he met Marin.
If it were Koizumi, he could still kill Mine with just one shot.
There's nothing we can do. This is the difference in strength. Marin's talent in close combat is too low. It's really...
Not to mention Myne, Chelsea herself isn't very talented in close combat either.
However, her imperial weapon did help her a lot, otherwise Chelsea would have died in the assassination mission long ago.
"It's none of your business... It would have been enough with Hill's help... Of course, I'm not saying that I don't need Chitong, it's just that I think Hill and I have been partners for so long, I should only need Hill's help to escape. I'm not saying that you are useless, Chitong!" Maine was just muttering to herself at first, but later she suddenly realized that there was something wrong with her tone, so she hurried to explain to avoid Chitong misunderstanding anything.
Chi Tong just smiled faintly and didn't intend to say anything. She knew that Mayin didn't mean that.
After all, Marin is a tsundere, and as the saying goes, tsundere can ruin one's life, so it's normal for her to say the wrong things.
If she had to care about everything, that wasn't Akame's personality.
Koizumi couldn't help but chuckle. Never mind, let's just get on with the mission.
"It's getting late. Chelsea, use [Transformation Freedom·Gaia Foundation] to turn yourself into a little bird or something and stay on my shoulder. I'll take you to the imperial capital. Before we kill those guys, I have to meet someone else."
Koizumi's eyes were very serious, but within that seriousness, a hint of nostalgia emerged.
By the way, how long has it been? Five days? About that, counting today it's the fifth day.
Five days ago, I was selling things in the imperial capital, and five days later, I became a member of a killer organization.
Although it is just a cooperative relationship, the relationship between us is actually self-evident.
Thinking of this, Koizumi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Chapter 103: Sneaking into the Imperial Capital
Although Akahime and the others were puzzled by Koizumi's statement that he was going to look for someone, they didn't ask too many questions. Although this might delay their mission or even expose themselves, Akahime and Chelsea didn't say anything. Maine and Hill certainly didn't plan to say anything either. They only needed to take care of their part.
Moreover, Koizumi had worked with Akahime and the others before. If there was anything wrong with Koizumi's behavior, Akahime and Chelsea would have pointed it out, but since they didn't point it out, there was no need for them to say anything.
This is what Marin thought in her heart. As for Hill, he was probably just a fool, so he didn't say anything.
Chelsea glanced at Koizumi but didn't say anything, tacitly approving of Koizumi's behavior.
Although the time she spent with Koizumi was relatively short, Chelsea had a rough idea of what he was thinking.
Koizumi wasn't the type to easily delay his mission, so Chelsea was completely confident in him. At least, leaving this matter in Koizumi's hands was perfectly safe. Chelsea had only chosen to accompany Koizumi to avoid any unexpected situations, and she was actually quite confident in his abilities.
After all, Koizumi was able to remain completely unscathed from the assassinations of Baimao and Jingsi.
Well, in fact, if Koizumi didn't have the ability to resist poison, he would have died long ago.
Although Koizumi's ability to resist poison is his own, he has no idea where he got it from.
If possible, Koizumi really wants to understand the issues with his body.
Unfortunately, due to his amnesia, Koizumi still doesn't know much about himself.
The next moment, Chelsea turned into a flying bird and stood on Tianyang's shoulder, looking around in the sky.
It's really amazing that a human being can fly... But is it an exaggeration?
No wonder he was considered a dangerous hybrid by Ouka, the captain of the Imperial Capital Guard. They really do look alike.
With such incredible flying abilities, and surprisingly without any Imperial Gear, what else could he be but a dangerous hybrid? Then again, Koizumi and his gang are quite mysterious themselves...
Chelsea, transformed into a bird, silently gazed at Koizumi. Although she was currently in the form of a bird, this did not mean that she had lost her human way of thinking. Although the power of her Imperial Tool [Transformation Freedom: Gaia Foundation] allowed her to simulate the personality associated with her transformed state, her thoughts as Chelsea still existed.
Koizumi glanced at Chelsea on his shoulder. Even though they were flying, he could feel her gaze. Why was she looking at him like that? Could she be attracted to him? Okay... Koizumi was being narcissistic again.
Curling his lips, Gu Quan cast his gaze downwards. The Imperial Capital was right below him. However, in order to avoid being noticed, Gu Quan's flight altitude was too high for ordinary people to see with the naked eye. Fortunately, Gu Quan didn't have a fear of heights, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
"The Imperial Capital Guard's base... well, we still have to look for it."
Gu Quan frowned slightly, unleashing his sensing abilities to their maximum, his blood-red eyes scanning the entire imperial capital.
High in the sky, everything was visible to Gu Quan.
But it was indeed so. In Gu Quan's eyes, the Imperial City seemed so insignificant, and he always felt that his attacks could easily destroy the entire Imperial City... In fact, if Gu Quan unleashed his attack with maximum force, he could probably really destroy the Imperial City. Of course, the premise was that if no one blocked his attack, then he could do it.
Unfortunately, Koizumi has no interest in destroying the world. In Koizumi's eyes, destroying the world is much easier than investigating the singularity and resolving its distortions.
After all, all you have to do is use your ultimate skill without thinking. After all, whether it is Koizumi or Reimu, their strength is not that weak.
Apart from General Bud and General Esdeath, Koizumi really didn't find any strong people in this singularity. Even the masters of the organization "NIGHTRAID" found it difficult to deal with Reimu.
Back to the point, Gu Quan glanced briefly at the interior of the imperial capital, his eyes flickering with an inexplicable light.
The next moment, Koizumi flew off in a certain direction. To avoid being spotted, he was extremely cautious during his descent, constantly on the lookout for other Imperial Capital Guard members. After all, anyone who even slightly raised their head would be able to detect Koizumi and Chelsea's descent. Of course, while the darkness helped conceal Koizumi's presence, it was always better to be safe than sorry. If he were spotted, it would attract General Bud...
After landing on the ground, Koizumi glanced around briefly. After confirming that there were no members of the Imperial Capital Guard, Koizumi patted Asuka on the shoulder. His meaning was very clear.
The bird flew down from Koizumi's body and the next moment it returned to its original form.
With a lollipop in her mouth, Chelsea's face showed a look of great enjoyment.
Come to think of it, why do you like lollipops so much? Isn't that a bit childish?
However, eating lollipops shouldn’t be considered childish, right? Does it count or not?
Uh...why am I thinking about this kind of thing when I have nothing to do after eating? It's too boring.
"Hey, why are you still looking for the Imperial Capital Guard base? Do you know anyone there?"
This was the only thing Chelsea could think of. If she didn't know someone there, why would she go there?
Nodding slightly, Koizumi didn't refute what the other party said. After all, he was indeed looking for someone he knew.
"There is indeed someone I know in the Imperial Capital Guard, Seryu Eubiquitus. She's the apprentice of the Imperial Capital Guard's captain, Oni no Ouka. Although she's been slightly led astray by Oni no Ouka, she's still a good person. I'm planning to take her away this time. I really don't trust her in a place like the Imperial Capital..." Koizumi said slowly, frowning.
Actually... Koizumi himself didn't want to get too involved with the people in this singularity at first, but now it's different. Koizumi has realized that in order to resolve this singularity, he must contact many people. Koizumi chose to take Cell away, more because he doesn't want to be an enemy of Cell.
Chelsea was slightly startled, but in the end she didn't say anything. After all, he was Koizumi's friend, so she couldn't say anything.
Although she and Koizumi had been on missions together, their relationship wasn't actually that close.
Strictly speaking, the relationship between the two can only be considered as more than acquaintance, but less than friends.
Chapter 104 Meeting Sailiu
At this moment, Selyu is staying in the base of the Imperial Capital Guard. It seems that she doesn't have any work today.
In fact, her shift had already passed. The Imperial Capital Guard said that she was not allowed to sleep, but in fact it was a shift system.
Sai Liu's shift has passed, so naturally she has to go back to the base to rest. However, Sai Liu is the only female in the entire base. In order to take care of this female, Sai Liu is the only one in the entire Imperial Capital Guard Base.
Jingmi said she didn't know where the other members of the Imperial Capital Guard lived because she didn't follow them. She only knew that Sailu lived alone in the base. There was nothing she could do because Sailu might have to go to work the next moment.
One must admit that this shift system is indeed a bit torturous. Not sleeping all night and still having to be ready for battle at any time is a bit too much for most people to bear, and Koizumi is just like that.
In order to avoid being killed by Assassin's sneak attack, I was ready to fight at any time all night, which was really tiring.
Fortunately, Koizumi is not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have taken on such an assassination mission.
After all, assassins probably have to stay up late every day, and they cannot let their guard down even when they are asleep at night, otherwise it would be terrible if they were assassinated by their enemies at any time. After all, guys like killers definitely have a lot of enemies.
Sailu sat in his seat with a dejected look on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood recently.
She lay on her seat, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was taking a rest.
However, as Koizumi gradually approached Sailu, he realized that Sailu was not asleep. After all, he needed to take over at any time. If he accidentally fell asleep, his tense spirit would suddenly relax again, which was not good.
But then again, it's not a good idea to stay tense all the time; it will only give you a headache.
Xiaobi has been staying at Sero's feet, seemingly on alert, and will alert Sero if anyone approaches her.
Unfortunately, Gu Quandu had already entered the Imperial Capital Guard, but it hadn't noticed yet. Xiaobi is not good enough.
But it's also true that I've concealed my aura now, so it's normal that the other party can't detect it.
Jingmi and Baimao are both Assassins, so it's normal to ask them for advice on how to conceal your presence during training.
Koizumi is now able to conceal his presence to a certain extent. At least, people like Sailu who are not very powerful cannot detect his presence. Unless he takes the initiative to step forward, she will not know that he is nearby.
"Hey, Seryu, nice to see you again."
Koizumi wasn't here to spy on the other party, his purpose this time was to persuade Sailu to go with him.
In fact, it is not purely persuasion. After all, you will know as long as you take Sero with you to Reas's house.
According to Leone, that family had the habit of keeping a diary. It was said that every time the nobles gathered together, they would sometimes compare and contrast with each other with a smile on their faces about how many outsiders they had cheated, thus making a special kind of comparison.
But Koizumi was speechless. Why would they even compare something like this? Did these guys have a problem with their brains?
Forget it, don’t think too much about it. It’s normal to have no common language with a madman.
Sailu was startled, and at the same time, Xiaobi began to call Sailu. The next moment, Sailu's eyes were cast towards the door.
A very familiar face suddenly came into Sailu's sight, and then surprise emerged in his eyes.
It's Mr. Koizumi, but...why is Mr. Koizumi here? Could he have been captured?
After the surprise, Sailu's heart was filled with deep worry. Perhaps in Sailu's opinion, Koizumi was captured.
But then again, if he's been caught, then where are the members of the Imperial Capital Guard who captured Mr. Koizumi?
Glancing around Koizumi, Seryuu realized that Koizumi was the only one who walked in. The only annoying thing was a little kitten following Koizumi, but it seemed to have slipped away after noticing that he had noticed her.
Well, actually, that little kitten is Chelsea. After Koizumi called out to Seryuu, Chelsea was about to go on the lookout.
If anyone from the Imperial Capital Guard approaches, Sailu will immediately alert himself with a cat's meow.
There are so many wild cats in the imperial capital that the meowing of one or two wild cats will not alert others.
"Mr. Koizumi! Why are you here? Didn't you... didn't you leave the Imperial Capital?"
There was a deep sense of confusion in Sailu's eyes. Why did Koizumi suddenly appear here?
"I did leave the imperial capital, but I'm a little worried about you, girl. Reimu and Qin Xin felt the same way, so I came to see you. I was afraid that you would be punished by that Ouka because of your involvement with me, Reimu and Qin Xin. How are you? Are you okay now? How are you doing? Did you get ambushed while patrolling? Reimu's amulet can only be used once, and you've already used it, so it's gone now..."
Koizumi's tone was filled with deep concern, which warmed the heart of Sailu, who had been feeling depressed recently.
As expected, in my heart, I still hope to be able to sit in front of the store with Mr. Koizumi, Miss Reimu, and Miss Qin Xin like before, drinking tea and chatting. Although this kind of life is not the righteous path I pursue, it is very peaceful and warm. This peace and warmth is just like when my father came home to eat with me in the past.
This feeling is actually like that of family, which makes Sailu yearn for it very much.
