Doremi shook her head helplessly. She knew Koizumi meant well, but the current situation didn't allow for that.
The other side is very powerful. Without the help of Minamoto no Raikou and Remlia, Koizumi's chances of winning are very low. Even with Minamoto no Raikou and Remlia, the chances of winning are only barely 50-50. This is the chance of winning when the mastermind behind the other side does not attack together with Esdeath and others.
Therefore, the best way now is to deal with the impostor by herself, and Doremi believes that Yakumo Yukari will not ignore it. The boy in front of her is the key to whether Gensokyo can reappear. How could she ignore the boy in front of her... Doremi glanced at Koizumi in front of her and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
As one of the top fighters in Gensokyo, Doremi certainly knows about Koizumi's affairs, and she understands them thoroughly.
So Doremi could already foresee Koizumi's final outcome, but she just couldn't say it out loud now.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems on my side, so you don't have to worry about me. Just focus on leading Hakurei's miko and the others to deal with the mastermind. If you can quickly eliminate the mastermind, the pressure on me will be reduced a lot. After all, that guy relies on the mastermind's power to exist. As long as the mastermind disappears, that guy will die, and my power will return, so you don't have to worry about me..."
Doremi still had that sarcastic face, but the gentleness on her cheeks was obvious.
Doremi's sarcastic expression is just subconscious, it has become a habit, but in essence Doremi is still a gentle woman who can easily attract others' favor, and she is also a very qualified dream ruler.
Koizumi couldn't help but be slightly startled. He was about to say something, but after seeing the determination on Doremi's face, even Koizumi didn't know what to say. It seemed that Doremi had made up her mind, so he didn't know what to say.
"So, what about Akame and Tatsumi? Are they safe now? And...how did you escape from that guy despite being seriously injured? I've always been curious about this..."
Putting aside the previous topic, Koizumi is now a little worried about the current situation of Akame and Tatsumi.
Since they have been discovered, the other party should not let Akame and Tatsumi go so easily.
And Doremi, would that imposter have let her go so easily? Koizumi was also curious about how Doremi had managed to escape despite being seriously injured.
After all, if they want to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes, Doremi's power is indispensable.
Doremi couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Sure enough, the Master would ask this question. However, it was not something that could not be said. After all, the gap monster did not ask for such a thing to be kept secret.
"That's not something I can't say. At the critical moment... that gap monster used the [real-world boundary] to suddenly arrive and rescue me. Now I guess that gap monster is still wasting time with the other party... So—"
"——Master, we don't have much time..."
Chapter 205: Gensokyo, the Land of the Gods
This is a peaceful place, and it is also a place that carries the hopes of many sages.
Countless fantasies permeate this place, encompassing all existences that the current world cannot accommodate.
This is a fantasy land that is both loved by the gods and forgotten by them.
Looking down from the sky, the endless golden sunflower fields, the hazy foggy lake, the looming red castle behind it, the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the endless bamboo forest, the towering Monster Mountain, and so on were all reproduced.
Yakumo Yukari was suspended in the air, her eyes slightly narrowed, her expression changeable, and she was holding an umbrella in her hand.
"He slipped away really quickly... But being able to escape directly from my inherent barrier means that the imposter has indeed inherited that guy's power... In the dream world, he is truly omnipotent to a certain extent."
As she spoke, Yakumo Yukari frowned slightly, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face.
As a youkai sage, she actually let her enemy slip away. It's a bit embarrassing...
However, the next moment——
A figure appeared behind Yakumo Yukari, and at the same time, an unhappy and pleasant female voice was heard.
"It's all because you like to slack off. I was the one doing the fighting just now! You idiot, just watching the show from the sidelines, didn't you even care if that imposter got away... you lazy bastard!"
Even after being exposed like this, Yakumo Yukari did not show any guilt at all, but instead looked as if it was a matter of course.
"Of course. I'm responsible for maintaining this inherent barrier. Furthermore, the boundary between dreams and reality is already distorted and leaking. I need to use the [boundary between dreams and reality] to maintain the stability of this boundary. This alone is tiring enough. Dealing with that imposter can be left to you, Reimu-chan."
From Yakumo Yukari's words, it can be heard that the figure in front of her is - Hakurei Reimu.
But the strange thing is that unlike the Reimu beside Koizumi, the Reimu in front of him has a completely different temperament.
Just this feeling of being full of moral integrity is already very wrong, okay!
Reimu frowned slightly, the worry between her brows already obvious.
"Hey, Yakumo Yukari, what should we do next? We can't just sit there and watch the boundary between the dream world and the real world suddenly disappear. Even if it doesn't endanger Gensokyo, this world will be destroyed just the same... Although we're not in the same class, my Archer self and my current self share memories, and I don't want this world to be destroyed..."
With a helpless smile, Yakumo Yukari couldn't help but shook her head, feeling quite emotional in her heart.
If Reimu could be half as responsible as you under normal circumstances, I would have saved myself a lot of worry.
It’s a pity that Reimu is such a worry... Even if he is in a responsible state, he will definitely not be handsome for more than three seconds.
"Don't worry, trust our Master... Besides, we'll take action when necessary, and we'll need you then... It's a bit of a headache that you can only appear in Gensokyo... I hope that after meeting you in this class, the Master can summon you to Chaldea soon—"
"——Ruler Hakurei Reimu!"
That's right, it wasn't Reimu Hakurei who was summoned in her normal state, but Reimu Hakurei who was summoned as the manager of Gensokyo. After using special means to get Reimu to the dream world, he used his own Noble Phantasm, Gensokyo of the Gods' Love, to rewrite Reimu's spiritual base into Ruler within Gensokyo. In this inherent barrier, Yakumo Yukari's power is close to her original body, and the fact that the enemy is in Gensokyo makes the appearance of Reimu Hakurei with the job of Ruler possible, because as the manager of Gensokyo, Reimu Hakurei cannot turn a blind eye to the safety of Gensokyo.
The Ruler class of Hakurei Reimu is Reimu's completely serious state, a state that is only displayed when a very critical incident occurs in Gensokyo. Reimu's power as a servant in this state is undoubtedly as top-notch as Yakumo Yukari.
In fact, Reimu with this class cannot appear in a normal Holy Grail War. If it is a normal Holy Grail War, Reimu can only descend with the class of Archer or Caster, and it is impossible with the class of Ruler.
This is because Reimu's qualification as a Ruler is precisely because she is the one who maintains order in Gensokyo. Therefore, if she is not inside Gensokyo, Reimu cannot obtain the qualification of a Ruler, so Reimu is the Ruler that belongs exclusively to Gensokyo.
Therefore, Yakumo Yukari can only open her own inherent barrier to change Reimu to the Ruler position. It is not because of lack of power, but simply because the corresponding conditions are not met, so she cannot summon Reimu with the Ruler position.
The Ruler Reimu was summoned by rewriting the Archer Reimu's class, so the memories of the two Reimu are completely shared.
"Is it possible? Unless there's a crisis in Gensokyo, I can't be summoned normally..."
Reimu frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared on her face. It was not that she underestimated Yakumo Yukari, but her summoning conditions were really limited, so she said that. Otherwise, how could she not want to be summoned?
"You said it too, unless there's a crisis in Gensokyo, right? This summoning condition has been established from the beginning..."
Yakumo Yukari gave a mysterious smile, leaving Reimu slightly stunned. What did she mean? Wasn't Gensokyo already dead? Although it had been transferred to another dimension, it lacked the power to rebuild it, so it hadn't been rebuilt yet.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Don't worry, Reimu-chan. Just wait. We'll find a loophole in this summoning system and make it work... But we'll have to resolve the issue at this singularity first..."
Yakumo Yukari's words made Reimu feel a little uneasy. Is this bastard hiding something from her?
What does "this summoning was established from the beginning" mean? Although Koizumi and Gensokyo have a special "connection", it's not enough to summon himself out... How can this interstitial monster exploit the summoning loophole?
With her brows tightly furrowed, Reimu couldn't understand what Yakumo Yukari was thinking, so she could only curl her lips and choose to wait.
As an old friend of Yakumo Yukari who had known her since childhood, Reimu knew very well that if this gap monster did not intend to tell her, it would be completely useless even if she tried to get to the bottom of it. Instead of doing that, it would be better to wait until she was summoned out in the future and then investigate slowly.
Her intuition told her that this matter was very important to her, so Reimu had to investigate it thoroughly no matter what.
Chapter 206 Two Red Eyes
Chitong: "..."
Saber·Chitong: "..."
Looking at the guy who looked exactly like her, Chi Tong's emotions suddenly became extremely complicated. What could this mean? Could it be that she had a sister who looked exactly like her? This was impossible no matter how she thought about it. She and Hei Tong had been together since childhood. If she really had a sister, then she and her should have been together since childhood too!
Saber Akame found this scene quite amusing. It was normal for her other self to feel this way.
After all, anyone who sees a guy who looks exactly like him or her will have more thoughts, right?
If the person standing opposite me was me, I would inevitably have some special thoughts in my mind.
So, this is actually a very normal thing, although it is still a bit funny when you see this scene.
Hei Tong was also bewildered as he watched this scene. What was going on? Had her sister become two people? Or was she actually looking in the mirror? How could this be possible?
Heitong, feeling a little overwhelmed, rubbed his eyes quickly to make sure that he was not seeing things.
Seeing Kuronetō's cute behavior, Koizumi couldn't help but smile helplessly. Kuronetō is really cute.
But Kuroneki's behavior is quite normal, but Koizumi couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
Seeing this scene, Saber Akado couldn't help but reveal a gentle expression, and at the same time, she slowly stepped forward and came in front of Hei Tong. To be honest, now seeing Hei Tong, Saber Akado couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in her heart.
But at this moment, Saber Akame's heart was filled with gratitude towards Koizumi. Although this singularity would eventually be restored to its original worldline, Koizumi didn't care, instead helping his sister reconcile with her own world. Saber Akame was actually very happy that Kurome hadn't become the person she remembered.
Although Hei Tong reconciled with herself in the end, she was tormented by the memories of the past every day in the days that followed. She had been prepared to live a peaceful life, but gradually revealed her fragile heart that could not bear those sins.
Seeing her sister like that, Saber Akame felt very uncomfortable.
So seeing that Kurome is now able to live a happy life, Saber Akame is also very happy.
Placing her right hand on Kuronetō's head and stroking it gently, the smile on Saber Akame's face grew even gentler.
Chi Tong was slightly stunned and wanted to stop him, but after seeing the gentle smile on the other person's face, he didn't intend to say anything. Although he didn't know what the other person was like, he could be sure of one thing, that the other person was sincere to Hei Tong.
With an unintentional glance, Chi Tong's pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a deep disbelief in his eyes.
That katana is - Omigu Kiri Ichimonji, which was the weapon that Akame used when she was still in the empire. How could she not know it? The other one is the imperial weapon, Murasame, which can kill with one strike. The other party actually has all the weapons she has ever had. How is this possible... Akame couldn't help but feel deeply shocked.
"Who are you?" Hei Tong did not refuse Saber Akagi's touch, because the other party gave her the same feeling as her sister, so she subconsciously did not regard the other party as her enemy, but Hei Tong still couldn't help her curiosity.
"Just call me Saber..." Saber Akame didn't intend to say her own name. After all, there was only one Akame here, and she was just Saber now, Saber Akame as a Servant.
"Saber?" Kuroyon and the others from [NIGHTRAID] looked at Saber Akame in front of them with curiosity. After all, it was really surprising that there was a second Akame.
No, this is no longer surprising. At least Najeshitan feels that something is wrong.
And this Akame actually has Murasame in her hands, this is already very wrong...
It seems I'll have to ask Koizumi later. Also, there's that woman wearing a nightcap who suddenly appeared next to Koizumi. Although she looks like an old friend of Koizumi's, it would be more reassuring to ask her.
Tatsumi glanced at Mine briefly, sighed inwardly, and then stood beside Koizumi and the others without saying much. This place was different from the original world line, at least the Mine here had nothing to do with him.
Tatsumi did not reveal his imperial weapon because Brand was also here. The appearance of two red eyes was already suspicious enough, and if a [Devil Haunted Armor Operation] appeared, it would be even more suspicious.
Minamoto no Raikou glanced at Saber Akame slightly and then glanced at Akame again. A look of emotion appeared on his face. This was really an amazing fate. In the future, Akame became a Heroic Spirit and was summoned to the era where she was active, and took on the responsibility of saving this era.
Reimu kept covering her head with her hands, a look of deep confusion on her face.
"What's wrong? You look very uncomfortable?" Koizumi slowly stepped forward and asked with concern.
Reimu curled her lips and shook her head helplessly. To be honest, she didn't know what was going on. Her head started to hurt when she woke up early this morning, and it hasn't gone away yet.
By the way, Remlia also came out early in the morning. Of course, Koizumi asked Jingmi to hold an umbrella for her. Although the sun was not something that scared Remlia, she felt uncomfortable staying in the sun all the time, so she was used to having others hold an umbrella for her.
"..." Glancing at Reimu, Doremi seemed to know why she was having such a headache. She just gave a mysterious smile and said nothing more. She had played a part in bringing Reimu to the dream world last night, so how could she not know the reason for Reimu's headache?
"Kiri Ichimonji..." Akame murmured to herself, her eyes never leaving the katana on the other person's waist. A hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes. After all, it was a weapon from her past...
Saber Akame turned her head slightly and extended her right hand towards her other self as a gesture of friendship.
"We will need to fight together from now on. Please give us your guidance."
Chi Tong was slightly startled, then smiled. Since the other party expressed goodwill to him, there was no need to be wary of him as if he were an enemy.
"Please give me more advice..."
Chapter 207 The Arrival of Esdeath
This was the first time that Koizumi had witnessed the grandeur of a war scene. After all, although the scenes of individual battles before were not small, they were still far inferior to a war. At least that was what Koizumi thought.
Reimu was not interested in war and did not choose to take action when the revolutionary army marched towards the empire because there was no need.
In fact, Gu Quan could have gone straight to the Imperial Capital, and Doremi also thought so. After all, the mastermind behind the scenes was already in the Imperial Capital. Instead of wasting so much time here, it would be better to go straight into the Imperial Capital and defeat the other party. After all, all the fighting forces on his side have been gathered, so even if they cannot win, they can only bite the bullet and fight.
However, a piece of news immediately dispelled this thought from Koizumi and the others:
"Esdeath is leading her troops here? That guy's injury healed so quickly!"
Koizumi was startled for a moment before recovering. Wasn't he just talking nonsense? Esdeath had the Holy Grail's support. How could she recover instantly? Hadn't Koizumi's last battle with Bud healed his wounds quickly? That recovery speed was on par with Koizumi's Vampire power.
Reimu couldn't help but curl her lips, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes. That Esdeath was a very troublesome guy.
A hint of coldness flashed in Minamoto no Raikou's eyes, and her right hand had silently placed on the hilt of the knife. At this moment, she seemed like a sharp blade that could be unsheathed at any time, making it impossible for people to avoid her.
Ushiwakamaru's heart sank slightly, but he was not discouraged at all. Instead, fighting spirit surged in his eyes.
Jingmi remained the same as always, standing silently behind Guquan, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
Baimao went out to serve as a scout. Although he kept complaining about this and that, everyone was actually used to it.
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan slightly, with a gleam in his eyes. He looked calm and composed, but even Doremi would not be able to see what he was thinking. He could only roughly guess that the military advisor in front of him must have some plan, and it was a plan designed specifically for Esdeath.
Saber Akame and Tatsumi looked at each other, and both could sense the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Saber Akame had fought Esdeath before, not long after she arrived. She had been defeated, a horrible defeat. She hadn't even had time to unleash her final Noble Phantasm before being crushed. All she could do was silently exclaim, "How powerful!" Even a counterattack was difficult for her.
In the last battle before her death, Esdeath definitely held back. If that woman wanted to, she would not let me use even the last of Murasame's secret techniques. So the fact that I was able to kill her before my death was mostly a fluke.
Tatsumi and Esdeath do have some relationship, but it was just something that happened unintentionally. Esdeath's feelings for Tatsumi were just one-sided, and it was her regret that she could not get Tatsumi's true heart.
The reason why she went to find Tatsumi after being summoned was because of that feeling, but more importantly, it was because Tatsumi's potential was comparable to that of an admiral, so she wanted to cultivate such a seedling. Esdeath herself said that her current spiritual base cared more about war and fighting with the strong, and she didn't have much interest in other things.
Najeshitan and the other members of [NIGHTRAID] could not help but remain silent. Faced with an opponent of Esdeath's level, they didn't know how to deal with it. They also learned from Susanoo about Esdeath's powerful combat ability. Faced with an opponent of this level, they really only felt despair in their hearts.
"That guy is really fast, but he's too arrogant. Without the Empire, even with the three beast warriors by his side, they can't save her this time... Your Excellency, you should have a corresponding countermeasure."
Koizumi was right. Esdeath was too arrogant this time. Reimu and Minamoto no Raikou could definitely hold Esdeath back. With Remlia added to the mix, Esdeath would be defeated. As for the Three Beast Warriors, she could deal with one, Akame could deal with one, and the remaining one could be handed over to Tatsumi without any problem. So, leaving aside the need to deal with the Three Beast Warriors' combat power, if everyone else ganged up on Esdeath, they could beat her to death!
Although he was fully aware of the concerns of Najeshita and the others, Koizumi was right this time.
