Koizumi nodded silently. It was indeed Sairu who cried, and her crying was causing me more and more stress.
Not to mention that Koizumi was somewhat helpless regarding women's tears, let alone the fact that this woman was someone he knew.
Although Seleucus's sense of justice is very twisted, it is undeniable that Seleucus's nature is good.
That's why Koizumi and him became friends, but...sigh...
"It's normal for that child to behave this way, but you're also very direct with your words... Sometimes it's better to be more tactful."
Rolling her eyes at Koizumi in front of her, Reimu spoke slowly.
She was indirectly blaming Koizumi for not knowing how to speak tactfully sometimes. Although Koizumi had a high emotional intelligence, there were times when he would be driven by his emotions and do things he shouldn't have done.
For example, speaking directly...
Koizumi couldn't help but sigh slightly, shook his head helplessly, and cast his gaze on Reimu in front of him.
"Okay, let's get back to the point. What are your thoughts on the upcoming decisive battle? That Supreme Imperial Weapon won't be so easy to deal with... Even you'll probably have to be prepared to unleash your [Dream Born]..."
Koizumi's eyes gleamed with brilliance. Through the memories of Tatsumi and the others, Koizumi also saw the full picture of the Supreme Imperial Phantasm. The power of the Imperial Phantasm was so great that Tatsumi had to be countered by the Imperial Phantasm and transformed into a dragon in order to defeat it. This already shows how difficult this Imperial Phantasm was to deal with.
At least Koizumi believed that with the Holy Grail's blessing, Reimu would be unable to stop the little emperor's Supreme Imperial Weapon without using [Dream Born].
Reimu suddenly fell silent. Although she said nothing, there was a gleam of light in her eyes.
Chapter 233 The Eve of the Decisive Battle (10)
Koizumi walked out of Reimu's room with a heavy face. Incidentally, the reason for such a heavy expression was not because Koizumi wanted to do something shameful and get discovered by Reimu, but because... when Reimu was talking about what would happen after the singularity ended, she actually said that she would never go to the next singularity, and that she should not be bothered with such troublesome matters again.
It seems that Reimu has already prepared to build her Hakurei Shrine in Chaldea, and has set up a tea table at the door. As long as the other party is willing to put in the offering money, then she will invite the other party in for tea...
When did you become so depraved? This is not the Hakurei Reimu I know!
Koizumi really wanted to roar like that, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was exactly Reimu Hakurei's true nature...
Reimu herself likes a leisurely life, but the current situation does not allow her to do so, so she has no choice but to choose to do things well. However, now in the singularity, she realizes how tiring and difficult it is, so after thinking it over, Reimu made her own decision - she will never go to the singularity again!
...After Koizumi learned of Reimu's choice, he felt terrible...
Which bastard just said that I would rape this woman? If I say that I would rape this woman, then there is something wrong with my brain!
Compared to this woman, Koizumi felt that Qin Xin was countless times better than Reimu... Although there was no expression on her face, which made people feel a little boring, there was no doubt that Qin Xin was much more responsible than Reimu!
Koizumi covered his face and left without hesitation. Never mind. I'm a fool for even thinking of discussing tomorrow's decisive battle with this woman... I'll probably find someone else to discuss tactics and such from now on.
At least servants like Minamoto no Raikou and Ushiwakamaru are much more reliable than Reimu. Although they all have some problems with their personalities, for example, Minamoto no Raikou's style that can be called a demon mother is speechless, and Minamoto no Yoshitsune's loyal dog personality is also speechless. However, compared to Reimu's lack of moral integrity, Koizumi can still accept the former two.
"Master..." Like a ghost's call, Koizumi stopped in his tracks and looked in a certain direction. He saw a petite figure slowly approaching Koizumi, who seemed to be holding something in her hand.
Although Koizumi is not a pure-blooded [Vampire], after using the power of [Vampire] many times, his night vision has been slightly enhanced, which also allows Koizumi to be unaffected by the darkness to a certain extent at night.
"That voice..." Koizumi was slightly startled. This voice sounded quite familiar, and...
Feeling the contract's response, Koizumi roughly knew who was coming...
"It's you... Qin Xin, why did you suddenly come to me?"
Koizumi slowly stepped forward, and finally, the figure slowly revealed its true form—Lancer Qin Xin.
"Master... the mask... is for Master..."
Now Gu Quan could see clearly that Qin Xin was holding a mask, an extremely exquisite mask.
Compared to the mask Qin Xin had sold before, this one was undoubtedly very exquisite...
Is this a gift for yourself? Just by looking at the quality, one can already feel the affection Qin Xin has put into it.
The corners of Koizumi's mouth curled up slightly, and his originally gloomy mood began to improve because of this mask.
Slowly, Gu Quan took the mask from Qin Xin's hand, a gentle smile on his face.
"Thank you, Qin Xin. I like this gift very much... I will definitely cherish this mask..."
As he said this, Koizumi's right hand gently stroked the mask in his hand, as if he could feel the emotions Qin Xin had when making this mask. Koizumi's movements became more gentle, and at the same time, his eyes turned to Qin Xin in front of him.
"It's a really exquisite mask..."
Qin Xin nodded slightly, put on the [Fire Man] mask, and then spoke in a happy and relaxed tone.
"I made this while the Master was away on a mission, to express my gratitude to the Master!!!"
I'm afraid it's more than just the so-called gratitude... Feeling the emotions contained in the mask, Gu Quan's mouth curled up slightly. Although she is a facial spirit that controls sixty-six kinds of emotions, she is only in charge, but her own understanding of these emotions is not so mature. On the contrary, she is still a relatively immature child.
Therefore, Koizumi hopes that this girl can understand emotions on her own, rather than simply using a mask to express them, but she still lacks her own understanding of these delicate emotions.
However, I've heard that during a certain incident in Gensokyo, this child also learned to express these emotions on her own, rather than simply relying on her mask to express them. Although she's grown, in Koizumi's opinion, this girl still has a lot of growth to do...
"I have received your gratitude. Thank you so much, Qin Xin. I feel much better now..."
Gently stroking the little girl's head, Koizumi showed a gentle smile on his face.
The dark clouds in his heart from just now have been dispelled by Qin Xin unknowingly, and he is feeling much better now.
In the end, I still need to borrow the power of Qin Xin and the others... I am indeed not mature enough.
"Hmm... Master is very happy. Yeah, I'm happy too~ This is a happy expression!"
As he said this, Qin Xin also put on a corresponding mask to express his feelings at the moment.
Perhaps her understanding of emotions hasn't reached the level Koizumi expected, but there's one thing she's very clear about: if her Master is happy, then she's happy too.
"Master, come watch me perform Noh... right here!"
Noh is Japan's most representative traditional art form. It is a very late name. From the middle of the Heian period (782-1185) to the Edo period (1603-1868), this art has always been called "Sarugaku" or "Sarugaku no Noh".
Just like that, Qin Xin performed the so-called Noh alone in front of Koizumi. Although it was the first time he saw it, and Koizumi didn't understand it and didn't quite understand what Noh was, this didn't affect Koizumi's watching Qin Xin perform Noh. However, it seemed that the so-called Noh should be a bit similar to ancient songs and dances.
However, it must be admitted that watching Qin Xin's dance in front of him, Gu Quan was unconsciously fascinated, and his heavy mood slowly relaxed. He didn't even notice someone approaching.
Chapter 234 The Eve of the Decisive Battle (XI)
"My Lord..." The appearance of Minamoto no Raikou surprised Koizumi a little. Not only did Minamoto no Raikou's approach not attract his attention, but Minamoto no Raikou actually called him that. After all, Minamoto no Raikou always called him his child, or his Master, but he undoubtedly treated him like his own child.
But this time, Minamoto no Raikou rarely called himself "my lord". Is he sure there is no problem?
Why does it feel like Minamoto no Raikou is possessed by someone... Koizumi glanced at Minamoto no Raikou behind him.
At this moment, Minamoto no Raikou's face showed a heroic smile, and his awe-inspiring aura was extremely strong.
A pair of eyes stared at Koizumi in front of him, as if saying "We will definitely win this battle", which made Koizumi feel very confident. There was no other way, Minamoto no Raikou just had this kind of temperament, which could bring full confidence to those around him.
"It seems you have great confidence, Berserker..."
Koizumi didn't address Minamoto no Yorimitsu by name, but used his job title, which made him seem more formal.
Minamoto no Raikou gave a knowing smile and nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the other person.
The confidence gleaming in his eyes ignited a fighting spirit in Koizumi's heart.
"Of course, Master. If you lose confidence before a fight, then there's no point in fighting. So, you must not be afraid of fighting. It's best to always maintain the best possible attitude."
Minamoto no Raikou spoke calmly, and it sounded as if he was teaching Koizumi. Indeed, Minamoto no Raikou treated Koizumi like a child, teaching him carefully, whether in battle or not.
At this moment, she was teaching herself the true meaning of fighting. If she felt timid before even trying to fight, then she would have already lost to the opponent.
Koizumi also agrees with what he said, because it is indeed the case, so -
"Is this the reason why you, Raikou's mother, spy on your own son?"
Although he was unaware of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's approach, Koizumi had a vague suspicion that he had been spying on him.
I have to admit that I hid it very well. I didn't even notice the other person's gaze. This hiding ability is amazing.
Even if he wasn't Assassin, could he still achieve a certain degree of aura concealment? Or was it some technique he'd acquired during his lifetime? It's possible, after all, he was a Genji general who vanquished many demons and monsters during the Heian period.
By the way, Koizumi calls Minamoto no Raikou "Mom Raikou" because Minamoto no Raikou really treats him like his own child, so it is necessary for him to repay this motherly love in some way, otherwise the other party would be too pitiful.
To some extent, it is tiring to see a mother crying because of some inappropriate words from her child.
"Although I didn't notice your gaze, Raikou Mom, but it's obvious that you're coming for me, isn't it?"
Minamoto no Raikou's intention was obvious; he came for him. Perhaps he saw that he was under a lot of pressure and came to comfort him. Koizumi had a rough guess at this, otherwise he wouldn't have said such words in the conversation.
Upon hearing this, Minamoto no Raikou's heroic spirit seemed to collapse, and he immediately revealed a pitiful expression.
Immediately, Gu Quan showed a speechless look, just looking at the mother he had just recognized.
After all, you are the general of Genji and the leader of Genji. Can you show a more reliable expression?
You're really making me think of someone unreliable, Reimu. You and Reimu are both powerful, so why do you both have such unreliable personalities?
Koizumi suddenly felt a headache. This Minamoto no Raikou really made him speechless...
But it doesn’t matter, after all, she is my mother... Never mind, I still have some tolerance.
"As a mother, of course I have to protect my child at all times and not let bugs get to my child..." Minamoto no Raikou said this very gently, but when he mentioned bugs, his face darkened for a moment, and his tone became noticeably heavier. This is really...
The so-called bugs definitely don't simply refer to monsters or demons, but rather to the women who approach Koizumi.
Koizumi knew how terrible Minamoto no Raikou's child-obsession was...
It's really pitiful that Reimu and her friends are actually despised as bugs. This name should be given to Remi and the others.
However, this also proves how much Minamoto no Raikou cherishes his children.
"Although I understand how you cherish your child, this isn't the way to cherish him..."
The corner of Gu Quan's mouth twitched violently, and a speechless look appeared on his face. You've gone a bit too far.
"Of course. I can't let my child get entangled by any bugs..."
While saying this, Minamoto no Raikou secretly glanced at Qin Xin beside him, and the meaning was already very obvious.
Qin Xin suddenly felt unhappy, and at the same time, she put on the mask of [Prajna] on her face.
"This is anger. Master is ours. You can't monopolize him!"
Qin Xin's words made Minamoto no Raikou's eyes flash with a hint of sharpness, but fortunately, Koizumi took the lead and stood up.
She gently stroked Qin Xin's head with her right hand, and the gentleness on her face made Minamoto no Raikou put away the strange look in her eyes. With her child in front of her, she still wanted to restrain herself a little.
"You should leave first, Qin Xin. I have something to say to Lai Guang's mother..."
After hearing this, Qin Xin glanced at Gu Quan and had to leave even though she was very unhappy.
There's nothing I can do. My Master thinks this way, so I can only leave here quietly.
And she didn't want to affect her Master, as her Master also had his own things to do.
Slowly, after Qin Xin left, the dark energy that was faintly emanating from Minamoto no Raikou began to dissipate. As expected...
This child-obsessed guy has a very strong possessiveness, no! It should be said that he doesn't want his child to be taken away by other women.
As expected, he's a guy who can't quite figure out the differences between his two identities as a son and a lover...
Just like that, Koizumi and Minamoto no Raikou stood there silently, without saying a word.
The next moment, the silent Koizumi finally spoke, and his words stunned Minamoto no Raikou.
"Hey... Raikou's mother... Esdeath... was she really killed?"
Chapter 235 The Eve of the Decisive Battle (12)
"Hey... Raikou's mother... Esdeath... was she really killed?"
Koizumi's tone was tinged with solemnity. Honestly, when he'd dealt with Esdeath earlier, Reimu and the other two had felt like they hadn't killed her. If only they weren't like this, Koizumi would have a vague feeling that the woman wouldn't die so easily. After all, that woman... wasn't someone who'd die easily...
Upon hearing this, Minamoto no Yorimitsu revealed a solemn expression, his eyes flickering with a gleam of brilliance. Koizumi could sense this, indicating that Koizumi's strength had already reached a certain level, and he probably had the same sharp intuition as Reimu... However, judging by Koizumi's appearance, these powers should have been granted to him by the contract, because she had sensed Koizumi's power from Remlia. Therefore, the contract Koizumi made with Remlia and the others should allow Koizumi to possess the same power as Remlia, but the power level has not yet reached the same level.
Of course, even though she knew there was a problem with Koizumi's contract, Minamoto no Raikou had no grudges at all, because she regarded her Master as her own child and didn't care about such things at all. If her Master wanted, she would teach her Master everything she had learned without reservation. Of course, in order to become her Master, she had to get the other party's recognition.
If she is not recognized by Minamoto no Raikou, she will keep a certain distance from him even if he is her Master.
There was no doubt that Koizumi had been acknowledged by Minamoto no Raikou, so after knowing that Koizumi might have his own power, Minamoto no Raikou expressed great satisfaction. This saved him a lot of steps, and he knew his own power best. If his Master needed to know anything, he would tell the Master without reservation.
However, what she didn't know was that the power copy of the contract Koizumi had made was only effective for Servants in Gensokyo.
Therefore, Koizumi can only obtain the power of the people in Gensokyo, and cannot obtain the power of others.
"Master, regarding this point, Miss Reimu, I, and that [Vampire] are completely unable to make a conclusion. We must admit that Esdeath possesses a power that is not inferior to mine, Miss Reimu, and that [Vampire]. If it were a one-on-one duel, I would be killed by her Noble Phantasm if I wasn't careful. So, if she is truly faking her death, it is difficult for me to predict whether she is truly dead. After all, spiritization is a power that every Servant possesses, and it is also very concealed."
Minamoto no Raikou showed a complicated expression and shook his head.
Koizumi couldn't help but curl his lips. "Spirit transformation... I've never let Reimu and the others use this ability, so they've basically forgotten about it... This really makes me feel helpless. But Esdeath actually used this skill to escape. Am I overthinking it... Is that woman the kind of person who would run away from the battlefield?
Koizumi frowned slightly. Could it be that Esdeath...
Koizumi had vaguely guessed some of the reasons. If he was right, Esdeath and Saber Akame should be the same, just that everyone was in a different position, that's all.
