Use FGO to open the second dimension

I don’t know what she was thinking about, but Youmu’s face became redder and redder.

Even Koizumi began to doubt whether fever and other illness symptoms existed in this world...

"Ahem... I'm not in a bad mood..."

"Really? Then why have you been acting alone lately? At first, you would level up with Asuna and me, but later you just followed Kaguya. Today, you even left Kaguya alone."

"It was clearly Miss Kaguya herself who said she wanted to go find the Master!"

Youmu said, "Master, please don't put the blame on me."

"I see... I saw you were always acting alone, Youmu, and I thought you were annoyed by me being a drag."

"That's not what I meant! I'm the Master's Servant and Guardian. Protecting the Master is my duty and the reason for my existence. I absolutely would not have such disrespectful thoughts!"

"That's good. Actually, I still hope Youmu can stay with me forever."

Glancing at Youmu with interest, Koizumi could sense some of the other person's inner emotions.

The Dragon God's power vanished, and with it, the power within Koizumi's body. However...

Some special things can't be completely eliminated.

For example, if you have been fighting against a strong opponent with great strength, and suddenly your own strength disappears, the physical reaction and alertness developed from long-term fighting will not completely disappear.

Koizumi could still see some emotions revealed between Youmu's brows.

When she mentioned acting alone, a hint of regret did flicker between Youmu's brows. When she mentioned being a drag, Youmu began to get anxious, fearing that Koizumi might misunderstand something.

After saying the last sentence, Youmeng revealed a look of joy from the bottom of her heart.

You can feel it by looking at the mochi spirit flying around so happily.

"Come to think of it, Youmu, we met in Heian-kyō, right? It's been a long time since then."

Koizumi didn't continue the previous topic, but instead began to reminisce about the past.

If you think about it carefully, Youmu is one of the rare beings who has accompanied Koizumi to multiple singularities.

The second singularity is in Heian-kyo as an enemy, and the singularity in Fuyuki City is the first time you go to the battlefield as your own servant. After that, because of the arrival of Yuyuko, Youmu has been staying in Chaldea to accompany Yuyuko, and until now, this is the third singularity where Youmu appears.

In Chaldea, the number of Servants who accompanied Koizumi in repairing multiple singularities could be counted on one hand.

Remi is one of them. She was with Fuyuki at the beginning, and she came to the rescue in time in the imperial capital. When Orleans assisted Ritsuka, she was also an enemy in Romania, and she also caused Koizumi to suffer physical and mental setbacks for a while.

Reimu is one of them, even though she is of a different class, she is still her in the end.

The Imperial Capital, Heian-kyō, and the world of Kancolle...

Patch's words were also true, but when Romania was in the opening stage, Koizumi only saw the opponent's clones left behind.

And then, there was basically no one else...

"Indeed, at that time, the Master was still my enemy, and I appeared as Yuyuko-sama's Servant."

As Youmu spoke, she felt overwhelmed with memories, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously curled up.

As if thinking of something, Koizumi looked at Youmu on the side and couldn't help asking.

"Youmu, why do you recognize me?"

The word "Master" is not just a contractual relationship, but a heartfelt dedication of loyalty.

Youmu's attitude towards Koizumi is no less than his attitude towards Yuyuko.

This is different from Sakuya.

After Sakuya recognized the Master through the contract, she still followed Remlia's opinion.

In Sakuya's heart, Koizumi's status cannot be compared with Remlia's.

But Youmu gave Koizumi her complete loyalty.

Koizumi could see this, but he was also curious about it.

Moreover, when in the underworld, Youmu was still his enemy. He and he had not even had any communication with each other, but the other party still called him - Master!

From my perspective at that time, the other person shouted that because of the connection with me.

But now, Koizumi sensed a different meaning from Youmu at that time.

That was respect. The other party had already recognized me at that time!

But why?

"Ever since our time in Heian-kyō, I could tell you have your own opinions. Your acceptance of your Master shouldn't be based solely on a contractual relationship. If that's the case, what's the reason for your loyalty to me?"

Chapter 1325 Youmu, if you say that, your Yuyuko will cry!

Youmu is a loyal dog, which is easy to see.

Even though she knew that Yuyuko was planning to destroy the world, Youmu still chose to stand by her side.

But even though she is a loyal dog, Youmu still has her own opinions.

It was obvious from her fight with Musashi that if she really wanted to stop him and the others there and obey Yuyuko's orders honestly, Koizumi didn't believe that she couldn't do it.

Musashi did defeat Youmu, but that was because Youmu was seeking death.

If a fight really breaks out, it is really hard to say who is stronger between Niten Ichiryu and Shengming Nidaoliu.

Musashi does have the BUG skill of Sky Eye, and any possibility can reverse it.

But is Youmu a weakling? Of course not!

Therefore, Koizumi is very clear about this. If it were not for other reasons, even if Youmu had signed a contract with him, he would have done the same as Sakuya. However, Koizumi can feel the other party's sincere respect.

So—Koizumi asked the question that was on his mind.

After hearing Koizumi's question, Youmu was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Koizumi to suddenly ask this question.

But after hesitating for a moment, Youmu raised her head and looked at Koizumi.

Then, Youmu stood up from the bed and, under Koizumi's surprised gaze, half-knelt in front of him.

"Because I saw the Master's tenderness towards the living Yuyuko-sama."

"Maybe it seems like a clichéd reason, but it's true. I'm truly grateful to the Master who brought light to Yuyuko-sama back then. If Yuyuko-sama hadn't intervened at that time, perhaps Yuyuko-sama's life could have ended differently."

As she spoke, a hint of sadness flashed in Youmu's eyes.

"In the past, I never knew why Lady Youyouzi cared so much about the body buried beneath the Westward Journey Monster."

Because very few people know about Youyouko's life.

Yakumo Aoi, Yakumo Yukari, and Konpaku Yoki... these are probably the only three people who have a close relationship with Youyouko.

The only ones left are those who have some connection with Journey to the West and some big guys.

For example, Shiki Eiji of Hell!

For example, Hecatia, the goddess of hell!

Another example is Doremi, the dream ruler!

"Now I understand what kind of pain Lady Youyouzi went through in her life. She didn't meet Lady Murasaki, so she must have died in immense pain..."

Otherwise, why is there always a trace of sadness on Youyouzi's face?

"Even after death, Lady Youyouzi still couldn't break free from the shackles of the Westward Journey Demon. She became that because of the unfounded rumors spread during her lifetime. Lady Youyouzi had done her best, but simply because she didn't seal the Westward Journey Demon with her own death, should she be blamed by the world? Just because of that moment of cowardice, should she be transformed into an innocent monster? I still can't understand..."

As Youmu spoke this, a rare look of deep resentment appeared on her face.

Her sword can cut off all enemies for Youyouzi, but it cannot cut off this tragic fate.

This is her fault as a guard!

This is a shame for her as a court teacher!

but--

"The Master brought hope of life to Yuyuko-sama in that world, dispelling the hesitation and anxiety in her heart. He even committed sins that were stained with blood because of Yuyuko-sama's death..."

It was precisely because she couldn't do it that her heart trembled when she saw Koizumi's actions.

She agreed because Koizumi brought hope to her master.

The reason for respect is that for his master, Koizumi did not hesitate to commit murder.

She had never felt such intense emotions before at this moment.

After that, the only thing that rang in my ears was a voice.

"That's the master I must serve! Whether it's now as a servant or when I return to my true form!"

"What is engraved in my heart is your image!"

"My sword, my reputation, even my very existence, were all entrusted to you the moment I was summoned by my Lord! Servant or true self, I will always be the sharp blade in your hand, regardless of time or place. Those who are your enemies will be slain by my double blades! This oath has long been engraved in my heart!"

From that moment on, Konpaku Youmu realized that he had found the person he wanted to be loyal to.

It’s not because of the relationship with the Hunpo family, nor because of the relationship with my grandfather, it’s simply because I identify with him!

Looking at Youmu squatting in front of him, Koizumi opened his mouth, but was suddenly speechless.

He had thought that Youmu respected him very much, but he had not expected that the emotion would be so strong.

Many servants in Gensokyo identify themselves as their Masters, and this is partly due to the contracts.

But only a very small number of people completely identify themselves out of personal emotions.

Even Reimu, in Koizumi's opinion, has some extremely conflicted feelings in her heart.

When in Fuyuki, Koizumi had already vaguely sensed something strange deep within Reimu's spiritual base.

The more she investigates Koizumi's identity and the many causes and consequences behind it, the more intense Reimu's inner conflict becomes.

Is it to choose personal feelings?

Or choose Hakurei Miko?

Reimu's mind was undoubtedly torn between the two.

However, there are only a few people like Youmu who directly reveal everything in their heart.

Remi is one, but that happened after the singularity...

Patch is one of them, that happened during the Romanian singularity...

Doremi is also one of them, back when we were in the imperial capital...

He exhaled a breath of foul air, helped Youmu, who was half-crouching on the ground, up, and a smile appeared on Koizumi's face.

"I really didn't expect that what I considered normal behavior, and even what I did to those people in Heian-kyō later, was just my personal emotional release, but you actually saw it as this..."

"What may seem perfectly normal to the Master may have a completely different meaning to others."

As she spoke, Youmu lowered her head, a look of nostalgia on her face.

"Recalling the smile and innocence of Youyouko-sama in the past, everyone thought that Youyouko-sama was heartless. But beneath this smile and innocence, how much price was paid to have the Youyouko-sama she is today? No one knows. Even I... at that time, I once hated my own incompetence for not being able to discover these things..."

Holding it tightly, Youmu's eyes were full of unwillingness.

"In that case..."

A warm big hand was placed on Youmu's head, making Youmu unable to help but look up.

"Everything in the past is already in the past. You still have an extremely bright future waiting for you. Even if memories are illusory and nostalgic, indulging in them will only waste your time. It is better to... remember this past, remember the resentment in your heart, swallow all your pain, and turn it into your own motivation, so that the future Youyouzi will no longer suffer."

"Use the sword in your hand to cut off all the confusion and anxiety that stands in her way. Isn't this your responsibility as a gardener?"

As he spoke, Koizumi placed his hand on the hilt of the opponent's Bailou sword.

"Isn't this the reason why the Hunpo family's heirloom sword exists?"

The Bailou Sword can cut off the confusion of the target and make the ghost become a Buddha. It is the heirloom sword of the Soul Family.

Gradually, those eyes became clearer, and a smile that had never appeared on Youmeng's face appeared.

"I've always said I can never defeat the Master..."

"If you can convince me, then can't you be my Master?"

Koizumi chuckled instead.

Youmu smiled and nodded, gazing at Koizumi, a gleam of light flickering in her eyes.

She leaned forward slightly, as if about to throw herself into Koizumi's arms.
