However, she felt much happier, while Koizumi felt much more frustrated. From beginning to end, he couldn't even touch the corner of Esdeath's clothes.

This is simply the most miserable sparring partner... Never mind, this is also for the purpose of improving my own strength, so it’s better not to complain.

However, one thing is certain, his strength has been greatly improved. From being unable to capture Esdeath's figure in the beginning to being able to capture her completely in the end. The reason why he couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes was because he couldn't catch up with the opponent's speed, and the opponent's defense was too terrible. Such superb skills make people feel despair just by facing them. It's really terrible!

Remlia's speed can definitely catch up with Esdeath, and Koizumi has indeed inherited Remlia's power, but this does not mean that Koizumi can go head-to-head with Remlia. After all, inheriting something and being able to use it perfectly are two completely different things!

Therefore, facing Esdeath, Koizumi has no way of defeating her. Not to mention defeating her, he can't even draw with her.

Even if Esdeath didn't use her full strength, Koizumi's chances of victory wouldn't necessarily increase.

"Mr. Koizumi, are you okay? You lost so much blood, and you look really bad, so pale..."

Hei Tong walked forward with a worried look on her face and supported Gu Quan. She actually felt a little regretful for bringing Gu Quan here.

I don't know why Koizumi has such a strong power, but everyone has a little secret, right?

For example, I hadn't initially intended to tell Mr. Koizumi about my status as a rejected member of the Imperial Assassination Corps. If Mr. Koizumi hadn't suddenly asked, I wouldn't have said anything. And since I hadn't asked Mr. Koizumi about my power, there was no need for him to reveal it.

Kuroneko's current focus is on the fact that Esdeath beat Koizumi so badly because she brought him here.

The blood all over the training ground and Gu Quan's pale face were enough to tell that Gu Quan was in very poor health.

"It's okay... He just looks pale, don't worry... Vampires aren't good at anything, but they have a very strong vitality. If it were an ordinary person, even if they didn't die, they would have severe anemia... Then again, vampires shouldn't have anemia, right?" Koizumi said, and suddenly he muttered to himself, frowning slightly.

He shouldn't be anemic... It seems that vampires have never heard of such a thing as anemia!

Remi never mentioned she had anemia, did she? Koizumi thought to himself.

But then again, does Hei Tong know what a vampire is? She probably doesn't understand what I'm saying.

Thinking this, Gu Quan glanced at Hei Tong beside him. As expected, Hei Tong still looked confused. It was obvious that Hei Tong did not understand what Gu Quan said. What is a vampire? There are no vampires in this world. But at least he knew that vampires should be creatures that suck human blood. This made Hei Tong feel a little scared.

Mr. Koizumi wouldn't suck my blood, would he? Hei Tong couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Seeing through Hei Tong's fear, Koizumi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Blood-sucking creatures were indeed terrifying.

There's nothing you can do about it. No one wants to have their blood sucked out of nowhere. Honestly, Koizumi is also very resistant to both sucking blood and having his blood sucked.

However, if Miss Remlia wanted to drink his blood, Koizumi would definitely not refuse.

As for Reimu and the others, the only thing Koizumi can do is to tolerate their personalities. Even if it affects his work, Koizumi will try his best to satisfy them. After all, it is his luck to meet them, and Koizumi has already regarded them as his family.

"Don't worry, I won't suck your blood. I'm actually very resistant to things like blood-sucking."

Koizumi smiled faintly, and what he said made Hei Tong feel relieved.

It’s good that his blood isn’t sucked away. If he had a friend who sucked his blood, Hei Tong would be very troubled.

No... this is no longer a bother. It would be terrible if I was accidentally sucked into a mummy.

Hei Tong had also heard that there was an imperial weapon that could suck blood, and if you were not careful, you would be dried up by it.

"But Mr. Koizumi is truly powerful. He was able to fight General Esdeath to such an extent!"

Gin's eyes flashed with shock. Honestly, after what happened today, she wouldn't underestimate Koizumi anymore.

Although, Gin never underestimated Koizumi, being able to cook that kind of food was already quite impressive in a sense.

But now Yin and the others have a clearer understanding of how powerful Gu Quan is, and how terrifying his fighting ability is!

Koizumi simply smiled at this and decided to go to his room to rest. He vaguely felt that during the battle just now, he seemed to have touched two other powers, those of Archer Hakurei Reimu and Lancer Qin Xin. He had not yet been able to sense the power of Murasaki. Perhaps Murasaki's power was at a deeper level, and Koizumi could not touch it at all.

Ruler Yakumo Yukari's power is actually quite useful. The gap alone is enough for Koizumi to observe the entire world. He might even be able to catch a distorted shadow, and then quickly resolve the issue of this singularity.

Of course, Koizumi didn't know that Yakumo Yukari and Reimu had said that even she couldn't use the gap to observe the center of the distortion. This singularity was like a dual world, and Yukari couldn't observe the other world.

The next moment, Koizumi returned to his room to rest.

I have to admit that Esdeath’s general mansion is really big and has many rooms. I really don’t know why Esdeath wants such a big mansion. Is it fun?

As expected, we have no idea about the life of rich people!

Chapter 58 Uncontrollable Pain

The pain was uncontrollable and spread throughout the body, as if all the bones in the body were shattered.

A twisted look appeared on his face, and with his arms folded, Koizumi's body seemed to be curled up in a corner.

It was as if the pain after fighting Esdeath completely erupted at this moment.

Koizumi's body trembled slightly. This was the state he was in once he fell asleep.

That uncontrollable pain permeated his entire body, and it had been like this since Koizumi fell asleep.

Koizumi was planning to... huh? I was planning to find out what I was doing, but it seems like I've suddenly forgotten something.

What's going on? I suddenly feel like I've forgotten something. Koizumi clutches his head.

This was just a subconscious action, not caused by severe headache, but just a feeling of forgetting something.

At the same time, the pain in my body was beginning to ease, as if it was suppressed by something.

Slowly, Koizumi opened his eyes, and Reimu's expression, which was filled with impatience and a hint of worry, caught Koizumi's eyes.

Seeing that Koizumi finally woke up, Reimu kicked Koizumi in anger.

"You bastard, can't you just get some sleep? You don't even give me a quiet night!"

Koizumi gritted his teeth and slowly stood up. Compared to the pain in his body, Reimu's kick was completely negligible.

Honestly, Koizumi didn't know what was going on, why he suddenly felt such intense pain.

Moreover, this pain spreads throughout the body, making it unbearable for a moment, so this happens.

"Master...are you okay?" Qin Xin silently walked to Gu Quan's side and slowly asked.

Qin Xin had a mask on her face that meant "worry." It was obvious that she was very worried about Gu Quan's inexplicable wailing.

After all, the relationship between Qin Xin and Gu Quan is no longer the same as it was when they were just summoned.

At the beginning, it was just an inexplicable affection, but on this basis, Gu Quan's comfort to Qin Xin also played a significant role.

As the god of emotions, Qin Xin's expression of emotions is very clumsy but also very direct.

Everything is expressed on the mask, which is her clumsiness, but also her directness.

In response to Qin Xin's question, Gu Quan's twisted face revealed a very forced smile.

There was no other way. He had to endure the pain while not worrying his friends. Koizumi was already very strong.

"I'm fine, don't worry. I don't know where this pain comes from, though. I'm just resting..."

Koizumi's eyes flickered with suspicion, his arms folded, his body trembling slightly. However, compared to the initial trembling, Koizumi's pain had eased considerably, and the pain wasn't as intense as it had been when he first slept.

Moreover, there were talismans on Koizumi's body. With a quick glance at Reimu, Koizumi could roughly guess that it was Reimu's doing. The sudden relief of the pain in his body was probably because of the talismans that Reimu had put on him.

Although Reimu's item making level is not high, as a Hakurei shrine maiden, she can basically make a series of talismans with complete functions, and the functions of these talismans can be of great use in many cases.

Gradually, as time passed, Koizumi's pain was almost relieved.

This is all thanks to the effect of these talismans, otherwise the pain would not have been relieved so quickly.

"You, don't tell me you have some bad habits when you sleep, that's why you're like this."

Reimu looked at Koizumi in front of her speechlessly and spoke slowly.

There was no way. After all, every time Koizumi had problems, they happened while he was sleeping. The first time was when he was drinking in the inn. He got drunk and fell asleep, and inexplicably used the Command Seal to summon himself and Qin Xin. The second time was also when he was sleeping. He had inexplicable body pain, but according to Reimu's observation, Koizumi did not have any wounds on his body.

This is really a bit strange... Reimu was a little concerned, but didn't think too much about it.

If someone from Gensokyo were summoned, Reimu might even doubt their existence. Gensokyo is home to a wide variety of beings, including shrine maidens like Reimu, tsukumogami like Qin Xin, a youkai like Yakumo Yukari representing an entire race of interstellar youkai, and vampires like Remlia. There are even gods and demons yet to be summoned, and so many more will await Koizumi.

It is even possible that beings related to the Moon will be summoned.

In Gensokyo, there is a special creature that basically does not appear in reality.

Reimu had come into contact with the other person in the past. Although he had a sarcastic face, he was actually a very gentle and caring guy, so Reimu basically excluded him just by thinking about him.

Not to mention that the other party has not been summoned yet, let alone that guy would not be so malicious as to bully the future Master.

Although Reimu had never had such a deep communication with the other party, she could still grasp the basic personality of the other party.

So Reimu almost ruled him out, thinking that there might be something wrong with Koizumi's sleeping posture.

Besides, this is the wilderness, so it's possible that poor sleep could lead to various body aches...

I used to be like this, because of the Hakurei Shrine... Well, it's better not to go on.

When I think about my previous poor life and compare it with the current life in Chaldea, I feel so relieved!

At least I don't have to go back to the old life where I had to buy all the ingredients and cook everything myself. Chaldea...

Wait! There doesn't seem to be any staff on Chaldea, so how are we supposed to eat? Do we have to cook for ourselves again?

Before she knew it, Reimu had begun to worry about her future life.

Glancing at Reimu, Koizumi couldn't help but feel helpless. "I don't know if I have any bad sleeping habits. Anyway, aren't you guys sleeping next to me? I don't have any bad habits, so you should know best!"

Wait, if I really had some bad habits and did something in my sleep, would Reimu still talk to me so peacefully? I guess a dream seal would have been thrown at me long ago!

Thinking of this, Koizumi couldn't help but glance at Reimu, and was relieved to find that she didn't seem to be acting strangely.

If I really had any indecent posture while sleeping or even...

All in all, being able to survive Reimu's clutches until now is truly a blessing from God...

Chapter 59 Meeting

Koizumi, Reimu, and Qin Xin stayed where they were after getting up early. It was rare for Koizumi to not go to training.

It's not because I'm not feeling well, nor is it because I want to be lazy. It's just because I have to wait for customers that I didn't go to train. Besides, this place is not far from the capital, what if I accidentally get into trouble?

Even if you want to train, you have to find a good place, otherwise you will easily be caught.

Actually, Koizumi originally planned to train himself because he felt that he seemed to be more comfortable using strength, but to be honest, this is just a feeling, and no one can know without trying it, so Koizumi wanted to give it a try.

But it's a pity that Koizumi is worried about Reimu alone. Don't think too much about it. He is not worried about Reimu's safety. After all, Reimu is very powerful. It is said that she has an ultimate treasure that she sealed because she doesn't want to use it to that extent.

If Reimu wants to, she can unseal her ultimate Noble Phantasm at any time. And since even Reimu wants to seal it, its power must be terrifying. That's why Koizumi never worries about Reimu's safety.

I'm mainly worried about Reimu having to negotiate with others here alone. After all, Reimu's integrity... hehe...

This is really not underestimating Reimu. She can sell herself out just by talking to the other person without even knowing the other person's name.

Koizumi really can't praise this kind of moral integrity and intelligence. I guess Reimu's intuition is the only aspect that Koizumi feels is impeccable. Could it be that all her life experience points have been added to combat and intuition, so her moral integrity and IQ are not high?

Forget it, I'd better not think too much about it. I always feel that if I despise Reimu in my heart, then Reimu will be really pitiful.

Let's get back to the point. The main reason why Koizumi didn't let Reimu face [NIGHT RAID] alone was because he was worried that she would be fooled by the other party. Of course, Reimu is also a Servant after all, and her life experience is definitely better than Koizumi's. The possibility of her being fooled is relatively low. Koizumi is mainly worried that she will be tempted by the power of money. Therefore, Koizumi and Reimu stand together, at least she won't be so blinded by the mention of money that she won't refuse to listen. Besides, Qin Xin is here too.

As a Fusangshin who controls emotions, Qin Xin can also feel the emotions of others, which can also make Koizumi alert.

For example, feeling guilty or something like that... Being able to sense the other person's emotions is a good ability.

Although he might be able to possess this ability one day after signing a contract with Qin Xin, Gu Quan is currently unable to fully master it. He can only vaguely sense the other person's surface emotions, but cannot grasp the deeper levels.

Koizumi and Reimu Qinxin were waiting here, but a long time had passed and they still didn't see anyone.

Unconsciously, impatience appeared on Reimu's face. She agreed to the deal, but that didn't mean she had good patience. On the contrary, Reimu's patience was always very poor, so -

"Isn't it possible they're going to break their promise... If that's the case, then I'll have to give them a Dream Seal!"

Reimu's temper cannot be said to be good, because when she gets angry, she is like a demon.

If someone tries to trick her with money, Reimu doesn't mind teaching them a lesson.

Of course, for Reimu, the most important thing is her own cash box. This is what Koizumi heard from Yakumo Yukari.

However, it seems that since Reimu was summoned without the Hakurei Shrine, the money box is not here with Reimu.

I heard that if anyone dares to smash Reimu Hakurei's money box, then be prepared to be killed by Reimu Hakurei who turns into an evil spirit...

Forget it, I know what I'm going to say next. I've already turned into a demon, what else can I do...

In response to Reimu's impatience, Koizumi could only smile helplessly, "Do you think she's so easy to deal with?"

[NIGHT RAID] is notorious in the imperial capital. Some people may not have heard of it, but there is definitely someone who knows about [NIGHT RAID] as long as that person lives in the imperial capital.

Therefore, when [NIGHT RAID] is deployed, the concealment must be high.

This place is not far from the Imperial City, and even if [NIGHT RAID] were to be dispatched here, it would definitely not be all the people.

However, if they were to dispatch someone of high enough status to negotiate related transactions with Reimu and themselves, then that person could only be the boss of [NIGHT RAID]. But since the boss had already been dispatched, safety had to be taken into consideration. Otherwise, if they were caught by the other party, then [NIGHT RAID] would be leaderless.

So it's understandable that the other party was so slow to move out... This is what Koizumi thought.

"Don't you think a killer organization wouldn't consider various factors before dispatching? For example, this place is so close to the imperial capital. If we're surrounded by the imperial general's troops, we can fly away, but they can't... So before dispatching, safety must be taken into consideration. This will naturally waste a lot of time... Let's just wait..."
