Use FGO to open the second dimension

Wait a minute! If I remember correctly, Mayin seems to be of mixed race, right? Could it be that Mayin's hometown is... Koizumi's face was slightly disturbed. If that was the case, it made sense why Najeshitan wanted Mayin to take Koizumi with her. After all, no matter how much discrimination she faced, she couldn't forget that it was her hometown. And Mayin was definitely more familiar with the place than she was. It would be better with Mayin there.

Hill's words were probably meant to take care of Maine, but was it sure that Maine was not taking care of her?

"Leone...Isn't Maine's hometown on the western border of the empire?"

Koizumi leaned his head close to Leone's ear and asked in a low voice.

Leona nodded slightly, but did not hide it from Tianyang. After all, this was not something that needed to be hidden.

"Main is a mixed-race child from the western border of the empire. She suffered discrimination there. After that, she worked as an underground assassin. Then she was spotted by the boss and became a member of [NIGHTRAID]."

Leone said lightly that this was nothing special, as most of the people here were killers.

Akame is from the Imperial Assassination Force, Marne used to be an underground killer, and although Chelsea was a maid at first, she also worked as a wandering killer for a while after obtaining the Imperial Tool. In the end, she was recruited by the Revolutionary Army and became a killer of the Revolutionary Army.

Koizumi curled his lips. It was no wonder. Back in the day, on the western border of the empire, Marin was the target of constant bullying. It was normal for her to behave like this. So, for Marin, returning to that place was a nightmare.

However, it was a good idea to ask Main to lead the way. Moreover, in [NIGHTRAID], his relationship with the others was actually pretty good. However, compared to Chelsea, Akame and the others, Koizumi's relationship with Mainsil was rather ordinary. It could even be said that they were just acquaintances. They usually just talked to each other, and sometimes, they didn't even talk to each other.

On the contrary, Koizumi met Akame, Chelsea and the others, and even chatted with them.

I can take this opportunity to have a good chat with Main and Hill now to improve the relationship among colleagues.

Koizumi didn't say anything to Mine. After all, only Mine herself could get over this kind of thing.

Didn't you see that even Hill didn't come forward to comfort her? Although Koizumi suspected that she didn't know how to comfort her... Koizumi slowly walked towards Kuronetsu. Now that breakfast was over, he needed to talk to Kuronetsu.

"How... did you make peace with your sister?" Koizumi looked at the black eyes in front of him with great interest.

Kuroito's cheeks flushed. Although she still felt a little unhappy with Koizumi,...

Thinking of the meal Koizumi had prepared for him last night and the reminder Koizumi had given him, Hei Tong couldn't help but feel grateful. Adding to that, he already had a strange sense of familiarity with Koizumi.

At this moment, Hei Tong's attitude towards Koizumi has undergone a very subtle change.

"Um...thank you..." There was no way around it. Although her attitude towards Koizumi had changed a little, it was still difficult for Kurono to thank him directly, so at this moment she was blushing and lowering her head as she said this.

The voice was incredibly low. If Koizumi wasn't quite so powerful, it would probably be...

Gu Quan couldn't help but look at Hei Tong in front of him with a helpless look on his face. This girl can be shy sometimes, which is really rare.

But being able to reconcile with his sister was enough. Koizumi heaved a sigh of relief and was about to leave.

"Have we met before?"

At this moment, Hei Tong's voice came from behind, making Koizumi startled slightly.

I didn't expect that Hei Tong would ask the same question as my past self... But that's true, Hei Tong is not stupid, and my attitude towards Hei Tong is much better than towards ordinary strangers, so it's normal for Hei Tong to be suspicious.

What's more, he had asked the corresponding questions before, so Hei Tong would also doubt this.

Koizumi slowly turned around and smiled gently, which made Hei Tong startled slightly and felt very familiar.

"Maybe we've met in a dream..."

Upon hearing this, Hei Tong stood there in a daze, then snorted coldly, with dissatisfaction obvious on his face.

"Forget it, who cares..."

Perhaps Hei Tong took Koizumi's words as a perfunctory response. That was true. After hearing words like that, anyone would think he was just being perfunctory, like they had met in a dream... How could that be possible?

Seeing Kuroneko's expression, Koizumi felt helpless. These days, no one believes the truth...

We really did meet in a dream. Since you don't believe it, what else can I say?

Slowly, Koizumi walked towards his room. If he guessed correctly, Reimu and the others should also be in their rooms at this time. Everyone would choose to discuss things in their own rooms.

Just as Koizumi was about to push the door open and enter his room—

"Thanks……"

A voice of thanks came from behind Koizumi. The voice sounded so familiar that Koizumi couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

Without even turning around, Koizumi already knew who was thanking him.

After a wry smile, Koizumi placed his right hand on his waist and spoke slowly.

"We're all comrades in the same team, so thanking them would be too awkward. If you really want to thank them, then cherish this family bond that has finally returned to you... Don't let that happen again..."

As he spoke, Gu Quan slowly pushed the door open and walked in, never turning around to look at the figure.

A figure with crimson eyes silently watched Koizumi walk into the room, a rare smile playing on his face.

Chapter 176 Marin's Decision

Koizumi, Reimu, Mine, Susanoo, and Ciel boarded the flying danger plane given by the Revolutionary Army Headquarters and headed for the western border of the empire. This time, Koizumi only brought Reimu with him, while Ushiwakamaru, Shizumi, and Qin Xin were responsible for staying in [NIGHT RAID]. After all, there was no need to bring Ushiwakamaru and the others to the western border this time.

Although Ushiwakamaru is very powerful, according to Koizumi's speculation, she is probably no match for Esdeath. It's not that Koizumi overestimates Esdeath, but Esdeath's fighting power is indeed a bit exaggerated.

Even without the Imperial Capital's blessing, he could probably be among the top servants. Moreover, he might not necessarily face off against Esdeath this time. His goal this time was just to find out whether Esdeath's injury was real or fake.

If it is true, then they started kidnapping people. Although this statement is a bit wrong, it is indeed kidnapping.

If this thing is fake...well...then find a way to slip away quickly, otherwise something might happen.

According to Koizumi's budget, Susanoo and Reimu will be responsible for dealing with Esdeath. If they put their full strength into it, they can hold the other party back, and they can even escape if they want. Maine and Ciel should just run away if they can.

As a sniper, Marin explained very well that archers are not good at close combat.

Although it is said that an archer who cannot fight in close combat is not a good archer, Marin is obviously not the person to whom this principle applies.

By the way, on the day they were about to leave, Koizumi, Reimu, and the others had a special discussion about what to do next.

After all, this matter involves Esdeath, and it may also be related to a new Servant that they have not discovered yet, so they have to be careful no matter what, otherwise there may be a disaster. It’s okay for them to fail, after all, Koizumi has Yakumo Yukari of Chaldea to support him, but Main and Ciel were brought by Koizumi, and it would be difficult for Koizumi to explain if something happened to them. If he really hurt them accidentally, Koizumi would not have the face to return to [NIGHT RAID]

"Hu~~~~~" Marin took a deep breath, and her eyes seemed to have passed through countless obstacles and looked at her distant hometown. That was her childhood nightmare, but it was also a part that she could never give up. Because of her past self, there was the present Marin. Although she felt very complicated about going back there, Marin did not intend to escape.

"Main..." Hill slowly walked forward and looked at Main beside him, with worry flashing in his eyes.

She was really worried about Maine's condition. Although Hill was a bit of a fool, she was not stupid. Of course, she could see that something was wrong with Maine. She probably wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how. She didn't know what Maine was like in the past. She only knew a general idea and didn't know the details. If she accidentally stepped on a landmine, wouldn't that cause trouble?

Marin was slightly startled, then curled her lips, turned her back to Hill, and her pink ponytails fluttered in the wind.

"Don't worry about me, Hill. I'm not that fragile... I'm just feeling a little complicated..."

Marin spoke lightly, holding the imperial weapon [Romantic Fort Pumpkin] tightly in her hand. This time, returning to her hometown also symbolized her farewell to her past self. She is no longer the person who was bullied in the past.

"That's good..." Hill couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the worries in his heart slowly subsided.

Koizumi's lips curled up slightly. He didn't think that this kind of thing would make Mine feel frustrated. After all, who could join [NIGHTRAID] was a simple person? How could they be defeated so easily?

Reimu was quietly lying on the back of the dangerous creature to rest. There would be no leisure time in the future, so she might as well take advantage of the present moment to catch some fish. As for Reimu's way of catching fish... now that there was no tea to drink, she might as well take a good sleep in.

Reimu wanted to live a leisurely life every day. She would sleep in in the morning, or even skip breakfast. At noon, she would drink tea and eat some cakes. Then she would chat with her friends Marisa and the others, and see if there were any interesting things happening recently. At night, she would still sleep...

Well, apart from sleeping and eating, what’s the difference between you and a pig!

"Master, call me when we reach the western border. Otherwise, let me rest. I plan to replenish all the energy I'll need to expend right now... If you dare wake me up after eating, I'll give you a dream seal and teach you a lesson!"

Reimu spoke lazily, which made her last threat have no deterrent effect at all.

At this, Koizumi couldn't help but smile bitterly. "How are you going to replenish that energy you're talking about? It's clearly not used up yet, and haven't you been quite idle lately? Those few days when Qin Xin and I were out on missions, you were resting well at Night Raid headquarters, weren't you? Now you're eating for nothing and having nothing to do, so why are you sleeping?"

So what's the difference between you and a pig now? You eat and sleep, sleep and eat...

Koizumi rolled his eyes at Reimu beside him, but didn't say anything. In fact, he had long been immune to Reimu's personality.

Although some of Reimu's words always make Koizumi really want to complain...

Then, Koizumi's eyes turned to Susanoo standing beside him, a pair of eyes flashing with deep doubt.

Koizumi has always been curious about whether there is a war god named Susanoo in this world. If not, if Su-san becomes a Heroic Spirit, will he be connected to Susanoo? After all, his real name is Susanoo...

Koizumi held his chin, a look of deep thought appearing in his eyes.

Forget it, this is not a question I should think about. I should think about how to do the next task.

Once I reach the western border of the empire, I must collect some relevant information.

For example, has there been any powerful guy recently on the western border of the empire? If so, Esdeath’s injury might be related to that person. Then all he has to do is go to his door directly.

After thinking for a moment, Koizumi's eyes focused on Ciel, Susanoo, and Mine.

Reimu would not take action unless it was absolutely necessary, so the only fighting forces he could mobilize were the three of them.

"Mr. Xu, Hill, and Mayin, I have something to tell you about this upcoming mission..."

Chapter 177: Inquire for information

"This is the western border of the empire... It seems their lives aren't very good..."

Koizumi glanced around, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, while Reimu followed Koizumi silently.

After arriving here, Koizumi and the others split into two groups, Susanoo and Mainhil in one group, and Koizumi and Reimu in the other. This was also to gather information. Although Main had lived nearby when she was a child, it did not mean that she could still tell where this place was very familiar with it. After all, so many years had passed, and it was not as if this place had not changed at all. Although Koizumi did not think that such a poor place could have changed much in these years.

The poverty of these people on the western border was a little beyond Guquan's expectations. Although there were invasions from foreign ethnic groups every year, the persecution these people suffered seemed to be very severe, at least that was what Guquan thought.

They were pale and thin, some were even naked, many children starved to death, and some even resorted to cannibalism.

There's no way around it. This is the so-called border, and the imperial capital itself is the center of corruption. How could they possibly pay attention to this place? This is also very normal. Although he knows this, Gu Quan still feels a little unhappy.

Those corrupt guys in the empire are really annoying. Even though I know that's just the way they are, Koizumi still can't let it go... When I see that little emperor, I'm going to give him a good beating.

Reimu glanced around briefly, her eyes heavy. There was nothing she could do. Seeing this scene, she couldn't be happy. Although the era of Gensokyo was similar to the present, it was not like the people now.

There is nothing to say about the poverty that has reached this point. This empire is really corrupt to a certain extent.

The people in the central government live so well, but the people here on the border are starving and cold. Although Reimu is not a ruler, as the manager of Gensokyo, she knows what the current situation portends.

"They are really poor... Although the lives of ordinary people in the human world are not so good sometimes, they are not so bad. After all, this empire is a country that has stood in this world for hundreds of years. Now it can't even compare to my Gensokyo. I really don't know what to say..." Reimu couldn't help but sigh.

Koizumi knew this was Reimu's sincere sigh. Although Koizumi had never been to Gensokyo, he knew that while Gensokyo wasn't exactly wealthy, it certainly provided ample food and clothing. But the empire's western border couldn't even compare to Gensokyo. Truly...

But that's true. Gensokyo is a fantasy land created by Yukari after all. If it can't compare to this place, it would be a disgrace to her, the Youkai Sage...

"By the way, aren't you planning to investigate the person who injured Esdeath? He might be a very powerful fighter... And if nothing unexpected happens, he should also be a Servant, and his strength can't be low."

Reimu's eyes were fixed on Koizumi, a look of confusion appearing on her face.

Hearing this, Koizumi curled his lips. "Nonsense! How could he not know that? You're overthinking it, okay?"

"By the way, can you conclude that Esdeath is definitely injured? If not, you might still have some work to do..." At this point, Koizumi revealed a playful smile.

This guy hates trouble the most. If Esdeath gets injured, Reimu will probably be very busy.

Koizumi could already foresee Reimu showing resentment during the battle with Esdeath.

...However, it's still a pity. According to Koizumi's speculation, Esdeath's injury is real.

Just as Koizumi said, Esdeath disdains these conspiracies. Why use so many empty tricks when you can use hard power? Even if she had to use them, Esdeath would definitely use open conspiracies more often, the kind that must be implemented even though you know it is a trick.

So there is no doubt that Esdeath was really seriously injured, and to be able to force the other party to that point, there is no doubt that the other party is also a servant, and a top-level servant at that.

"What do you think?" Reimu glanced at Koizumi, a sneer on her lips. She did enjoy a leisurely life, but that didn't mean her laziness had dulled her brain. On the contrary, Reimu was quite sharp. If there weren't top-tier Servants here, would Koizumi have come here specifically to take on this mission? She was overthinking it, wasn't she?

It's obvious that Koizumi came here because there's someone here who can rival Esdeath.

Isn't this also because you hope to have a trump card when you fight against Esdeath in the end?

If this was a trap set by Esdeath, there would be no need for Koizumi to actually come here.

"Actually, I'm just speculating. After all, that's certainly not Esdeath's style. But one thing is certain: there must be something wrong here. After all, if we had to choose a location, the imperial capital would have been fine. Why choose the western border of the empire when there's nowhere else to go? So... there must be something here... and it's very likely a Servant."

There was a gleam in Koizumi's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Reimu couldn't help but nod. What Koizumi said made sense. Esdeath's behavior was indeed strange.

If it is understood that Esdeath is indeed injured, then everything makes sense, except...

Would Esdeath really be attacked? According to Najeshitan and the others, it seemed that they were terrified of Esdeath's strength.

It seems even Koizumi is wary of Esdeath's strength... a power that could kill Koizumi instantly...

Reimu's heart couldn't help but sink slightly. She had never killed anyone. Although the monsters had been defeated, the era she lived in was a peaceful one, but... Reimu's hands had never been stained with blood.

Sigh... Reimu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The next battle was really going to be difficult...

"What are you daydreaming about... why don't you go and meet up with Mr. Xu and the others..."

Seeing Reimu suddenly become dazed, Koizumi couldn't help but say something in a bad mood.

"Eh!" Reimu was slightly startled. She had just seen Koizumi walking towards the children. She didn't realize that Koizumi actually ran to those children to inquire about the news. But what news did Koizumi find out?

"What news did you just hear?" Reimu narrowed her eyes slightly, curiosity evident on her face.

"I did get some incredible news. Perhaps that Servant is so famous in this area that everyone in the entire western border seems to know her name. Perhaps it's because of this that she attracted the battle-mad Esdeath... Now we can confirm that Esdeath was indeed seriously injured. As for the Servant who injured Esdeath..."

Having said this, Koizumi paused for a moment, seemingly wanting to tantalize the audience.
