"You're still like this... Jingmi..." Koizumi couldn't help but reveal a speechless look.
The fact that this girl always likes to crawl into her Master's bed is really a headache. What if one day she really does something like that by accident... Zi is watching this place the whole time, and Koizumi doesn't want her to watch a series of 18+ scenes. The thought of Zi seeing everything she did makes Koizumi blush.
Jingmi raised her head slightly and looked at Koizumi in front of her, then slowly got off Koizumi's bed.
"Master, Hei Tong went to see Chi Tong after dinner last night. I don't know what it was about..."
It was no secret that Gu Quan brought food to Hei Tong last night. At least Jing Mi knew about it.
By the way, Baimao should also know that the guy sends his other personalities out to guard the surroundings every day. Although there is a barrier set up by Lubbock near [NIGHTRAID], what if something unexpected happens?
It's not a good idea to let your guard down just because there's a barrier made of silk threads.
Anyway, there are more people in the Hundred Faces, and if they are deployed, they can replace the effect of the barrier of Labok.
Getting back to the point, after hearing Jingmi say that Heitong went to talk to Chitong, Guquan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. It seemed that what he said worked, otherwise there would be no need for Heitong to go talk to Chitong.
In that case, there is no need to worry about what happens between Akagi and Kuroi. It would be best if the two sisters could reconcile.
Moreover, Hei Tong's combat power is not low either. Koizumi has personally witnessed the power of [March of the Dead: Eighth Chamber].
"Don't worry about Kuroneko and Akame. We don't need to interfere in their affairs. To some extent, this is also their family affair. All we can do is guide them. The misunderstanding between them can only be resolved by themselves." Koizumi shrugged. That's why he didn't do anything, just said what he should say.
Give some guidance to these two silly sisters on how to think, but as for what to do, it depends on them.
However, what was unexpected was that Hei Tong would actually take the initiative to look for his sister. Perhaps it was because of the double pressure of not being able to return to the empire and the fact that he might have misunderstood his sister's feelings for him because of his fear of the empire that Hei Tong began to feel restless.
In fact, Koizumi had already said almost everything at that time, and it was only a matter of time before Hei Tong understood what he was thinking. Although Koizumi did not expect that the other party would have figured it out before even a night had passed.
Of course, it would be best if the sisters could reconcile. A quick reconciliation would save Guquan a lot of effort. He wouldn't need to keep the sword anymore, and could just give it to Hei Tong...
Slowly, Koizumi took Jingmi's hand and walked out of the room. Of course, everyone who saw this scene was already used to it.
At first, when she saw Jingmi and Koizumi walking out of the room together, Marin would blush and directly shoot Koizumi a shot, but now... hehe... apart from blushing for a while, she can't do anything else because they are numb.
Najeshitan was well aware that Jingmi had gone to Koizumi's room and just curled up in the bed and did nothing. Of course, she only learned this from Reimu. It wasn't that Najeshitan was gossiping, she was just curious as to why Jingmi had been pestering Koizumi since he arrived. It turned out that Koizumi was not afraid of the toxin in Jingmi's body, so Jingmi was like this.
For Jingmi, finding someone who is not killed by her poison is her salvation.
Najeshitan also sighed. It was a misfortune for Jingmi to have such a physique. It was precisely because of this physique that Jingmi could treat everything in the world equally, because her poison could give them death equally. The sudden appearance of Guquan, an exception, also made Jingmi's eyes light up, and a rare strong excitement surged in her heart.
For example, an alien comes to Earth and gets used to seeing Earthlings, but then suddenly one day an alien just like him appears. How can he not be excited? You're overthinking it...
Koizumi went to the kitchen first and started cooking. He had said yesterday that he would make breakfast for them.
No matter what, Koizumi can't break his promise...
At the dinner table, Akame and Kurome unexpectedly sat together, holding hands. This surprised everyone except Koizumi and Shizumi. Weren't they still in love and hate with each other yesterday? How could their relationship suddenly become so good today?
However, after hearing Akahime say that Kurohime decided to join NIGHTRAID, everyone was sincerely happy for Akahime. After all, she could finally reconcile with her sister, and Najeshitan also looked at this scene with a look of relief.
Koizumi silently handed Hachifusa to Kuronetsu, who took his Teigu with a complicated expression.
Just when everyone was about to start eating——
"Everyone! Before breakfast, I have some very important information and a mission to share with you!"
Chapter 173 Intelligence
"Everyone! Before breakfast, I have some very important information and a mission to share with you!"
As soon as Najeshitan finished speaking, everyone put down their chopsticks at the same time and looked at her.
As long as the topic of the mission is brought up, everyone will become serious, even Akame who is always very greedy.
A mission is a mission, and there can't be any inappropriateness. It's okay for everyone to play around normally, but this is not the time to play around. We are talking about the mission now. But then again, are there so many missions recently?
Koizumi couldn't help but hold his chin, his eyes flickering with deep thought.
As for missions, Koizumi wasn't too opposed to them. After all, it would allow him to gain more combat experience, so the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.
Moreover, since Najeshitan described the mission with such a serious expression, I guess this mission is very important.
Slowly, Najeshitan's eyes looked at everyone, and a look of deep worry appeared on her face.
This also made the [NIGHTRAID] group who were familiar with Najeshitan show a look of surprise.
They knew Najeshitan very well. Najeshitan rarely showed this expression. Even during routine tasks, she would just remind everyone to be careful. In fact, she was very confident in everyone's abilities.
But this time, Najeshitan actually showed a worried look, which means that this mission is very dangerous.
This is the consensus among everyone who knows Najeshitan, because only this reason can explain why Najeshitan now has such an expression on her face, which also makes everyone feel very curious.
——What kind of dangerous mission could make Najeshitan show such an expression?
After a while, under everyone's gaze, Najeshitan took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"This morning, among the reports sent to Revolutionary Army headquarters by Revolutionary Army spies on the western border of the Empire, there was one piece of information about Esdeath... the man known as the strongest in the Empire..."
Just hearing Najeshitan say this, everyone's expressions became solemn, even Koizumi.
However, Ushiwakamaru was slightly taken aback. Wait, the western border of the empire? Shouldn't Esdeath be with the northern alien tribes? Why would she go to the western border of the empire? Shouldn't she be concerned about the war with the northern alien tribes?
Just as Ushiwakamaru thought of this problem, Brand certainly also realized the problem.
"Isn't Esdeath solving the problem of the invasion of foreign tribes in the north? The Northern Brave Numa Seka also possesses terrible situation strategy and is deeply trusted by the people of his own country. Esdeath shouldn't be able to solve it so quickly! Wouldn't it be considered as desertion of duty by her doing this?" Brand showed a puzzled expression and asked slowly.
Ushiwakamaru couldn't help but nodded. She also wanted to ask this question, but Brand asked it first.
However, when this matter was mentioned, Najeshitan couldn't help but feel a hint of sadness... She had originally thought that Numa Sekhar could hold on a little longer in Esdeath's hands, but who knew that Esdeath would go crazy and actually...
"Actually, at first, Numa Sekar and Esdeath were fighting fairly closely, but I don't know what went wrong with Esdeath. It seems she heard some news and ended the fight without a word. Numa Sekar was killed before he could even withstand a single blow from her. All the soldiers who followed him were destroyed, and the fortress city (the capital of the northern alien race) was also captured."
Najeshitan sighed deeply. She didn't have much confidence in the Hero of the North. After all, she knew Esdeath's strength best. But could you please hold on a little longer? What's the point of holding on for just a moment?
We were having a great time a while ago, but it was all over after one night. What the hell is going on?
"How could this happen!" Brand and others were shocked, even Hei Tong, who originally belonged to the empire, was surprised.
That General Esdeath is so powerful...that’s what Hei Tong thought in his heart.
However, Koizumi remained calm. He was not talking nonsense. Although he didn't know where Numa Sekhar came from, it was not that easy to deal with Esdeath. Esdeath's strength was enough to influence the situation on the battlefield. At least he, who had fought with Esdeath personally, knew this very well.
"And then? Lady Najeshitan, what happened after Esdeath fled to the western border?"
Koizumi looked at Najeshitan with curiosity. In fact, he was very curious about where Esdeath had gone and what she was doing.
Hearing this, everyone's attention was once again focused on Najeshitan. In fact, they were also very curious about this.
After quickly ending the war with the northern tribes, Esdeath's first move was to the western border. This is quite interesting. Could there be something else there that could attract Esdeath? And what could possibly interest Esdeath? This is truly intriguing...
Koizumi had some guesses in his mind. Esdeath in this singularity was a Heroic Spirit, and the only things that could attract Esdeath were battles and wars. However, for Esdeath, the North Brave Numa Sega was really not that great. If Esdeath heard about some powerful being from some place at this moment... it goes without saying what Esdeath would do. And if the person could attract Esdeath, who was a Heroic Spirit, then the other party was undoubtedly also a Heroic Spirit.
This was Koizumi's guess. As for how to verify it, of course, it would be through the words of the spy.
Najeshita couldn't help but show a strange expression on her face when she heard Koizumi's words.
"According to the spy report, Esdeath was seriously injured and is currently recuperating in the military camp..."
Even Koizumi's face froze as he finished speaking. Esdeath was seriously injured? You're not kidding!
Koizumi knew exactly how terrifying that woman was. How could such a woman be so severely injured?!
Needless to say, the others, Reimu, Qin Xin, Ushiwakamaru, Shizumi and Hyakumao, have never seen Esdeath and are not very clear about her strength. However, Reimu, Ushiwakamaru and Shizumi have heard that Koizumi was killed by Esdeath countless times. Based on this, it can be inferred that Esdeath's strength is definitely above that of Ushiwakamaru and Shizumi.
Koizumi's strength is slightly weaker than Ushiwakamaru's, but Ushiwakamaru couldn't kill Koizumi, while Esdeath did it, which shows that Esdeath is stronger than Ushiwakamaru. As for Reimu... it's hard to say.
Such a person was actually seriously injured. Even Reimu and Ushiwakamaru couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
Qin Xin and Jing Mi always have the same expression, surprise or something... forget it.
Chapter 174 The Third Mission
"Lord Najeshitan, is it true that Esdeath was seriously injured?"
Koizumi seemed extremely anxious, with deep shock in his eyes. He found it hard to believe that someone could have seriously injured Esdeath. This kind of thing was unlikely in itself. After all, he was very aware of Esdeath's strength.
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock. After all, Esdeath's reputation had spread a long time ago.
At the same time, he is also recognized as the strongest in the world, and is on par with General Bud who is in charge of guarding the empire.
However, since General Bud and Esdeath have never fought each other, who knows who is stronger between the two.
But seeing that Esdeath didn't say much, it can be seen that Esdeath also acknowledged the strength of General Bud.
So, logically speaking, the only one who could contend with Esdeath was General Bud. Now, someone has appeared who can severely injure Esdeath. It's quite normal for Koizumi to be very surprised.
The reason why the others were like this was mostly due to the same reason why Koizumi was shocked.
Najeshitan nodded helplessly. In fact, she was also stunned when she heard this.
Will Esdeath be defeated? Am I dreaming today? Is this even possible? A series of questions popped up in Najeshitan's mind. There was nothing she could do; this incident was too sudden for her.
She had always considered Esdeath to be the most powerful obstacle, but this obstacle was defeated so easily...
If he didn't know the spy himself and knew that he was a serious and cautious guy, he would probably think that the news was false. However, no matter whether the news was true or false, he needed to confirm it.
This is Najeshitan's own caution. After all, the person on the other side is Esdeath, so Najeshitan cannot afford to relax at all on this matter. Therefore, no matter what, Najeshitan needs to personally confirm the truth of this matter.
So, this time the mission is to investigate whether Esdeath’s injury is true or not.
If this is true, then it is very clear what should be done, that is, to abduct the person who can hurt Esdeath to [NIGHT RAID]. Although it is not very polite to use the word "abduct", to put it bluntly, this is actually an act of kidnapping. If the other party is unwilling to join, then don't we still have to use all kinds of means, right?
If this story is false... then it's a little intriguing... Maybe this is Esdeath's plan to lure the Night Raid members to the western border of the empire... This gives Najeshitan a headache. The person responsible for investigating this matter must be someone who can survive Esdeath's hands...
Najeshitan began to have a headache, as this person didn't seem to be included in her [NIGHTRAID].
However, since Reimu can fight General Bud on equal terms, she should also be able to fight Esdeath.
Thinking of this, Najeshitan glanced at Reimu slightly, and some special thoughts began to arise in her mind.
Should I ask Reimu to go to the western border... Considering that Reimu might not go alone, how about asking Koizumi to go along as well, and then send one or two people from [NIGHT RAID] to look after her.
"So, Najeshita-sama, you're planning to have someone verify the truth of Esdeath's serious injury, right?" Hearing this, Koizumi roughly guessed Najeshita's intentions and the purpose of this mission.
"That's right. After all, this matter involves the question of the combat power that can deal with Esdeath, so it cannot be underestimated."
Najeshitan nodded heavily. If it was true, then there would be hope for the revolutionary army.
"But Boss, what if this is Esdeath's trick? If we send people over there, they might not be able to come back..." Leone was not afraid of death, but the matter involved Esdeath, and he could not relax at all.
Akame and the others couldn't help but nod their heads. If this was Esdeath's conspiracy, something big was going to happen.
Koizumi, however, had a heavy expression on his face and said nothing. In reality, he didn't think Esdeath would resort to such a strategy. Even if Esdeath wanted to use it, it would be an open conspiracy. This kind of strategy didn't seem like her style. Instead, it was more in line with her personality to seek out strong opponents and then be severely injured. Although logically speaking, it was impossible for Esdeath to be seriously injured.
Najeshita, who was also silent, had a similar expression to Koizumi, and it seemed that she also thought the same.
"So, all we need to do is send out a fake that can rival Esdeath... Lady Najeshita, Reimu and I will take this mission. Reimu can rival General Bud to a certain extent, so she must be able to rival Esdeath as well. I'll be their assistant..." Having said this, Koizumi was silent for a moment, glancing at Susanoo.
"Also, could you lend me Mr. Xu for a while? I need him to go with me to the western border of the empire."
Susanoo's strength is not weak. In terms of hard power alone, he can be ranked among the top ten in the world.
As a biological Teigu, it can still fight as long as its core is not destroyed. If he cooperates with him in the attack, Koizumi believes that even General Bud will find it difficult to defeat the combined forces of the two of them.
So, if Susanoo helps, Koizumi can withstand Esdeath's attacks.
If that doesn't work, Koizumi might just have to use the Command Seal to summon Yakumo Yukari.
According to Koizumi's speculation, the only person who could surpass Reimu in strength, besides Remlia at her peak nighttime power, would be Yakumo Yukari. Reimu's strength is exceptional only within Gensokyo, but once outside of Gensokyo...
Wait... How do I know that Reimu is an extraordinary existence in Gensokyo?
Koizumi couldn't help scratching his head, a look of deep distress appearing on his face.
This inexplicable series of memories suddenly appearing in my head is really a headache...
After hearing Koizumi's words, Najeshita was silent for a moment, then glanced at everyone present—
Najeshitan frowned slightly, and after a while, she sighed.
"No problem. Since Master Koizumi wants to check it out, I have no reason to stop you. However... since you're going to the western border, Master Koizumi, please bring Maine and Ciel along..."
Chapter 175 Myne's Melancholy
Maine's face looked very gloomy, and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood. Even the naive Hill noticed this.
In fact, everyone else knew why Mine was in a bad mood. Of course, this did not include Koizumi, Reimu, Ushiwakamaru, and Qin Xin. Baimao and Jingmi had been in [NIGHTRAID] for a while, so of course they knew about these people.
In response to Main's unusual expression, Najeshitan just sighed slightly and didn't say anything.
Chi Tong and others couldn't help but fall silent, sighed silently in their hearts, and didn't say anything.
Koizumi glanced around briefly, his brows furrowed slightly. What was going on? Why was the atmosphere suddenly so tense?
Especially Main, the gloomy atmosphere around her really makes people wonder, what's wrong with this girl?
After all, this atmosphere really doesn't seem like Mine... Koizumi couldn't help but scratch his head, a look of confusion crossing his face.
