But even with Zi's gap, Koizumi cannot relax in the slightest. This is the most basic quality of a warrior.
Slowly, a pair of scarlet eyes replaced Guquan's original pitch-black eyes. Scarlet magic slowly surged through Guquan's body. Faintly, the scarlet light began to gather into a spear, and the surrounding waves began to roll.
"I didn't expect the Master to be so alert... It's really unexpected."
A familiar voice reached Koizumi's ears, startling him slightly as the scarlet light on his hand suddenly dissipated.
The voice belonged to Akame, but since she called herself Master, it was undoubtedly Saber Akame.
Koizumi slowly turned his head, his eyes fixed on a figure behind him, a helpless look on his face. "Akagi, you walk so quietly, anyone would think you're planning a sneak attack or something like that."
Or are you used to the assassin's ways, since you're clearly a Saber? Or is it that the dual-class Assassin class has affected you? No way... Koizumi couldn't help but sigh slightly, but didn't say much.
"I suggest you don't be so quiet when you walk next time. It's easy for others to think you're sneaking up on me..."
Rolling his eyes at Saber Akame, Koizumi felt speechless. It was already good enough that I didn't beat you up.
If you hadn't made a sound just now, I would have probably launched a series of attacks at you.
As if sensing Koizumi's resentment, Saber Akame couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was in a good mood.
That was true. Saber Akame was in a good mood to see that she and Kurome had such a good relationship in this world. Of course, all of this was thanks to the man in front of her. Although everything would return to its original point after it was over, Saber Akame was in a good mood to see this scene...
Slowly, Saber Akame sat down next to Koizumi, her crimson eyes fixed on him.
Faintly, looking at the ancient spring in front of her, a ripple appeared in Saber Akame's calm heart.
"Master, is this the first time you've performed a singularity repair like this?"
Saber Akame was still very curious about the terms such as singularity and Chaldea mentioned by Koizumi and others.
Especially after seeing that Reimu and others were heroic spirits from different worlds like herself, her curiosity grew even stronger.
If possible, she would like to go to Chaldea, where Koizumi and the others belong, and take a closer look.
But it seems that things are not that simple...at least it won't be that easy for me to get through.
After this singularity is repaired, the heroic spirit summoned by the world will immediately return to the Throne of Heroes.
If you really want to summon, you can only try to summon the heroic spirit based on this fate.
"It was indeed my first time, so I took a lot of detours, but it also gave me a lot of precious experiences and memories..."
Having said this, Koizumi revealed a gentle smile. Yes, although some things may seem unnecessary to others, it is precisely because of these memories that Koizumi has gained very precious experiences and very valuable memories. For Koizumi, who once lost his memory, the memories he has now are very precious.
Regardless of what others think, Koizumi at least cherishes those so-called "unnecessary things".
"Thanks……"
Suddenly, an unusually soft voice came from Saber Akame. Koizumi thought his hearing was quite good, so he heard what Saber Akame said right away.
If I'm not mistaken, Saber Akame should be expressing her gratitude to me, for the Kurome and Akame of this world, although this is just a small matter for Koizumi.
Thinking of this, Koizumi just smiled softly, his face showing a calm expression. At the same time, he glanced at Saber Akame beside him.
"Actually, you don't need to say thank you to me. Hei Tong is also my friend. We have a good relationship in the dream world. And I've said before that I hate seeing sisters killing each other. So if possible, I don't want to see Hei Tong and you in this world killing each other. So there's no need for you to say thank you to me..."
Koizumi was not wrong. Even if he didn't know Akado, the fact that Kurome was his friend was enough for Koizumi to help Kurome and her sister reconcile. So there was no need for Saber Akado to be so polite.
Saber Akame pursed her lips, then nodded silently, but the gratitude on her face remained unchanged.
"By the way, Akagi, what do you think about the dream world?"
Koizumi's eyes were fixed on Saber Akame, with a hint of inquiry flickering in them.
He wanted to know what Akame, who had already completed her life, would think?
Upon hearing this, Chi Tong was slightly startled, and an extremely complicated look appeared in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, Saber Akame looked at Koizumi beside her and spoke.
Chapter 225 The Eve of the Decisive Battle (Part 2)
Saber Akame's eyes revealed a complex expression. She didn't know what to say about the dream world, because the dream world was simply too beautiful. Even with a strong will, Saber Akame still had an incomparable yearning for that dream. If reality could really become like that, how wonderful it would be...
This is a very normal thought. I believe it's not just her. Tatsumi, Najeshita, Chelsea... all of them have the same idea as Saber Akame, thinking how great it would be if this dream could become reality.
but--
"Dreams are just dreams after all. No matter how cruel reality may be, I absolutely cannot use this excuse to escape. I am a Heroic Spirit who has experienced a lifetime in the original worldline. If I use this excuse to escape, it would be a denial of everything I've experienced in the past, and it would also be an insult to the will of the deceased Main and others who walked the same path!"
Saber Akame revealed a serious expression, while emitting a dignified aura.
She is truly worthy of being called Akagi. Such a strong will is admirable. At least it is difficult for me to be like Akagi.
Koizumi sighed softly inwardly. No matter what, he still felt a little unwilling. But even so, he could only accept it. After all, becoming his original cruel self was better than the destruction of the whole world.
"But I believe Boss and the others must be a little confused... After all, the dream world is so beautiful."
A trace of worry appeared on Saber Akame's face. She was a little worried about her friends.
Especially Brand, who is now in the Empire. Even after being controlled by the Empire, he still seems to have his own will. He just has to help the Empire deal with his group, as if such an order was engraved in his spiritual base. Therefore, Brand can only be the enemy of his group. Although he is very unwilling, if Brand is not defeated, Koizumi and his group will not be able to defeat the Emperor... So Saber Akame will not hold back, but she is a little worried about Tatsumi.
"Don't worry, Najeshitan and the others aren't the type to be so conflicted. I believe they will make the right choice."
Koizumi has absolute confidence in Najeshita and the others. Although they haven't spent much time together, Koizumi still has great faith in them. He believes that Najeshita will make her own decision in just one night.
I just hope Doremi and the others won't be bored and show them the memories of the original world line. Koizumi knows that in the original world line, Celia completely turned evil and Ciel was killed by Celia.
But I believe Doremi doesn’t have that much free time, so she doesn’t need to worry about so many things.
What we need to worry about now is tomorrow's battle in the imperial capital. After all, there are quite a few strong people in the imperial capital. It will be very troublesome if a real fight breaks out. Najeshitan and others will definitely not be able to follow. However, now that Esdeath has disappeared, there is no need to worry about the combat effectiveness. I'm just afraid that the little emperor has some other trump cards besides the Holy Grail.
While it's possible that this is just Koizumi's wild imagination, it's not completely without basis.
How weak could someone be who dares to mess with his own world like this...
Choosing the imperial capital as the battlefield also shows that the other party has the confidence to face us, doesn't it?
Koizumi's guess couldn't be said to be completely wrong, nor could it be said to be groundless worry. After all, it was also for his own good.
The next moment, Saber Akame slowly stood up, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, seemingly agreeing with Koizumi's words.
"Master, you're right. Boss and the others won't hesitate too much. I don't need to worry too much. It seems I'm the one worrying too much... Well, Master, please get some rest. We have a decisive battle tomorrow."
Koizumi nodded slightly, not refusing. But to be honest, he was half a vampire after all, so not sleeping was no problem. But since Saber Akame said so, Koizumi couldn't say anything more.
After seeing Koizumi nod, Saber Akame also nodded slightly and then walked into the house.
Watching Saber Akame walk into the room, Koizumi couldn't help but let out a helpless smile.
It's not that easy to fall asleep, because tomorrow's decisive battle, I guess I'll have to go out for a while...
It wasn't that Koizumi was too nervous, but rather that he was a bit excited as a soldier, and he habitually speculated on the other side's combat effectiveness, so Koizumi didn't go to rest so early.
Standing up slowly, Koizumi prepared to go for a night stroll. Besides...according to Koizumi's estimation, those guys wouldn't go to bed so early.
As expected, Koizumi ran into an acquaintance... Celia was accompanied by Bit, followed by Mine and Ciel. This was a somewhat curious pairing, but there was no way around it, Celia, Mine, and Ciel didn't have such a good relationship in the original world line.
In the original world line, Celia killed Hill, and Main also killed Celia to avenge Hill. The relationship between these three people is really not good, but that world line and this world line are two worlds after all and cannot be classified together.
In this world line, Cyrus becomes a member of NIGHTRAID and gets along very well with everyone in NIGHTRAID, but the relationship is not as bad as in the original world line.
Sailu is very fond of Hill, a girl with a bit of a naiveté, and she also has some misunderstandings about Hill. When she first saw Hill, she also knew that Hill was wanted by the Imperial Capital Guard because Hill had killed a friend who was attacked by her ex-boyfriend in order to save him. The five companions of the deceased killed Hill's family in revenge, but when they tried to kill Hill, she killed them, and Hill became a wanted person by the Imperial Capital Guard.
After knowing the truth, Sailu expressed anger but his relationship with Hill improved.
I have to say, the relationships between women are really amazing.
"Hey, Seryu, Mine, and Ciel, are you out for a stroll tonight?" Koizumi's smile was a little odd. If I saw correctly, a figure flashed by behind Mine and the others. It must be...
...Tatsumi... It seems that even though he's convinced that the Mine in this world is not the same Mine he knows, he still can't let go of his girlfriend... Koizumi thinks to himself.
But that's true. Even if they're not in the same world line, they still look exactly the same, right? Anyone who sees someone who looks exactly like their girlfriend and has the same name will be very concerned.
No matter how much I try to comfort myself by saying that I am not alone, it is impossible to completely ignore it.
Chapter 226 The Eve of the Decisive Battle (Part 3)
"How's it going? Is your stay in Night Raid going well?"
Although he could see for himself whether he was treating her well or not, Koizumi still felt he needed to ask. After all, he was the one who brought Celia to Night Raid, and it would be irresponsible to ignore it.
Hearing this, Sailu was slightly startled, then nodded with a bright smile on his face.
"Yeah! Everyone is very nice to me, and the boss takes good care of me, especially Hill and the others..."
As he said this, Seryu grabbed Hill's hand, and then grabbed Main's hand.
Obviously, in [NIGHT RAID], Seryuu has the most harmonious relationship with these two.
I have to say, this is really fate. In the original world line, the relationship between Cellu and these two people can be said to be very bad, but in this new world line, Cellu has such a good relationship with these two people. Fate is really something that makes people speechless... At least that's what Koizumi thinks.
However, having a good relationship is also good. At least there is no need to worry about Sailu's problem of making friends in [NIGHTRAID].
After all, it's obvious that Celia had many friends in the Imperial Capital Guard, but after coming here, Koizumi couldn't help but worry that Celia might not have any friends at all, which would be terrible.
At the same time, they are also worried that the "NIGHT RAID" gang will exclude Sailu because of his past identity as a member of the Imperial Capital Guard. Although Akame, Najeshita and others will not do this, it does not mean that Main and others will not do this.
Hill held Sailu's hand, and the gentle expression on his face was obvious. One had to admit that Hill was the easiest to get along with among everyone. He had a gentle personality and would never reject Sailu's past identity. He was also a guy who was easy to favor.
Although Koizumi and Ciel haven't spent as much time together as Maine and the others, that doesn't mean Koizumi doesn't know them well enough.
At least Koizumi was well aware of Hill's gentle nature, but he just hadn't really gotten along with him.
Main couldn't help but curl her lips, and a blush appeared on her face. In fact, because of Silu's hostility towards Hill in the beginning, she and Silu Guanxi were not so close. It was only after Silu understood Hill that their relationship improved.
But now that Seryuu said that, she still felt a little embarrassed...
Marin's personality can be described as seriously tsundere. On the surface, she looks down on newcomers, but in fact, she cares about them very much.
Anyone who can enter [NIGHTRAID] can actually be considered one's friend, but it's not so easy for Marin to fully accept them at the beginning.
"It's good that you can make friends. I was a little worried about your friendship problems... It seems I was overthinking it."
Koizumi heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as it was alright. But if he still hadn't gotten to know the people from Night Raid even though he had joined for a while, then Sailui would really have to reflect on his friendships. After all, even Koizumi was already familiar with some people from Night Raid.
For example, Chelsea and Akame, Maine is more familiar with each other than Hill. Hill and I don’t have much to talk about. Even though we have done missions together, Maine and I have talked more times.
At this moment, Koizumi accidentally noticed a hint of uneasiness on Sailu's face, and he could see a slight blush at the corner of Sailu's eyes... Has this girl cried?
Koizumi's brows furrowed slightly. He could actually guess that Seryuu was feeling uneasy about the upcoming decisive battle and was struggling with the choice between the dream world and the real world. If he chose the dream world, it would mean becoming enemies with Koizumi and the others. If he chose the real world, it would mean that he would have to abandon his father and mother who had finally been resurrected.
Although the dream world is a so-called illusory world, my parents...
Sailu couldn't help but feel a wave of pain in his heart, and tears flickered in the corners of his eyes.
Slowly, Koizumi placed his right hand on Sailu's head and stroked it gently, causing Sailu to startle slightly.
Maine and Ciel couldn't help but look at Koizumi, with doubts flickering in their eyes.
There's no way. Although Main and Hill are Seryu's friends, they may not have noticed Seryu's strange emotions.
This is also a very normal thing. Koizumi knows Celia very well, but Mine and Ciel have only known Celia for a short time. If Celia doesn't take the initiative to tell him, Mine and Ciel will probably never know what happened to Celia.
If they can't investigate the affairs of Seleu's family, they won't be able to find out.
As friends, they would not investigate Sailu's family problems, as that was Sailu's privacy.
"Seriu... I'm really sorry about what happened with your parents, but this is all I can do..."
Regardless, no matter how righteous his stance may seem to others, Koizumi is undoubtedly erasing lives. Gin, Mamitsu, Remus, Seryu's parents, and even Tatsumi's friends Iyeas and Sau, who were already dead in the real world, were all resurrected in the dream world to highlight their preciousness. This resurrection is a true rewriting of the world, but the dream ruler does have the power to rewrite dreams, so it is no problem for them to appear in the dream world. This cannot be considered a resurrection in the strict sense, but once the dream world replaces reality, resurrection becomes a fact.
And what Koizumi did was undoubtedly to wipe out these beings who had finally had a second chance at life.
Sailu's body trembled suddenly, and tears couldn't help but flow out from the corners of his eyes.
And Marin couldn't help but reveal a complicated look, and Hill's expression couldn't help but dim slightly.
In fact, it's not just Seryu. Main and Hill also feel more than just pain and suffering in their hearts.
"This... is all... all for... for justice..."
Saiyu said this with an almost trembling voice. She would never forget her father's teachings at any time.
But this time, her tone was full of hesitation, and she was choked with sobs.
The look that Maine cast towards Seryu was full of sympathy and complexity. Justice... these were the two words that Seryu always kept on her lips. For this so-called justice, she was even willing to abandon her own parents. Koizumi once said that Seryu's justice was distorted, and there was no doubt about that, because Maine believed that she could not do this.
At this point, Koizumi couldn't bear it any longer and hugged Sairu in front of him.
Feeling the warmth surrounding him, tears began to fill Sailu's eyes.
"Cry if you want... No one here will laugh at you..."
The sound entered his ears, like a catalyst, and the tears in Sailu's eyes could not stop flowing.
The next moment, Saiyu couldn't bear it any longer and threw herself into Koizumi's arms, crying loudly.
