I, Fujimaru Tachika, have returned with a full rank!

thump--!

"Hey... my teacher, my teacher! Why did you fall down?!"

The magician suddenly fell down with a plop.

......The end of the song.

"I think we should be able to start planning the escape."

The male magician said in a hoarse voice with a painful expression on his face.

"really."

Fujimaru Tatsuka nodded in agreement.

"Why...why?!" The girl looked at the two suspiciously. She had a headache and chronic illness, and she didn't seem to know how lethal her music was.

"Because I'm sure, the guards outside have all been [killed]"

The magician touched his ears with lingering fear.

"By the way, boy, are you the Master?"

Simon's black eyes looked directly at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"A drifter who does not belong to this era, a summoner whose existence is based on observation."

Guda was slightly taken aback: "Do you know me?"

"Well, depending on your situation, it should be. It seems that you are not a hopeless ditch rat. Although it is troublesome...but sign a contract with me."

At this time, Fujimaru Tachika finally reacted.

The magician standing in the dark, wearing black clothes, with only his eyes visible, turned out to be a servant.

"Contract, my teacher... what kind of contract is it?"

Nero asked curiously.

"It's a contract between the master and the servant. Now I am not living as a human being...but as a servant in this world."

"Although I am not worthy to be a heroic spirit, because of my hostile record with the early church, I can use some kind of power to manifest."

Nero nodded half-understanding: "Although I don't understand it very well, it feels like a very powerful thing. I really deserve to be my teacher."

The magician held out his hand.

"I understand."

Fujimaru Tachika nodded, and activated the scarlet Command Seal in her hand.

"I swear by the Command Seal that I recognize you as my servant."

"Well, I, I, let's be your servant first."

Feeling the magic power pouring into the spirit base continuously, the man's facial expression gradually softened.

The dirty black robe on his body disappeared in an instant. He had short black hair, dark bronze skin, black wizard robes, and a necklace with an inverted cross hanging around his neck.

The bright green light slowly surrounded the two people.

"Servant Ruler Simon Magus, who is hostile to the Primordial Church, recognizes you as my master."

I thought this heroic spirit was employed as a magician, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be an adjudicator?

Fujimaru Tachika was a little unbelievable.

"Why... how could such a thing happen?! My teacher, Ximen, has become younger than before!"

Nero opened his little cherry mouth in surprise.

"Is this the feeling of the Second Coming of the Spirit Foundation? Although you feel bad as a magician, you are not bad as a Master. Well, anyway, with the power of Lao Tzu, at least I can protect you from running out of Rome no problem."

Simon looked at his body, slightly surprised.

"Run out of Rome...but...I still want to overthrow that monster's throne and retake Rome!"

Nero retorted.

"Don't think about that kind of thing."

The magician poured cold water on Nero.

"The territory from Gaul to Lukitania has been lost and has been captured by Britain. The white sword girl conquered the Germanic barbarians and entered from the border... The Balkan Peninsula has also been lost."

"Unknown rebels have also occupied Asia. Now you can only escape from Rome and go to Naples, where there are merchant ships going to Egypt, Mauritania or Cyprus."

"If those armies see you, the Roman Emperor, I'm afraid... Well, not to mention the rebels, even Rome will be your enemy now, my silly girl."

the magician warned.

"The situation is so bad, no, even if Yu is not around, those old things in the Senate will not let it go..."

Nero trembled all over. She didn't expect that such a level of war broke out in her empire in such a short period of time.

"Senate? Those guys must have been slaughtered by her long ago."

"My teacher, you...are you joking with Yu? It's a joke."

The blond girl's body trembled constantly, as if hoping to hear some ridiculous joke.

"Do you think I have a reason to lie to you?"

The magician said with a sneer.

Nero: "How could it be..."

"It seems that it is indeed correct."

Fujimaru Tachika nodded, recalling what happened before she fell.

"Before I came here, I saw the battle between the ridiculously strong Attila and another Nero who surpassed the level of a heroic spirit. It was a battle of treasures, and a bottomless pit was almost blasted out."

"but..."

Even so, the girl doesn't want to give up her beloved Rome.

"Yu has already made up his mind to die, even if Yu is smashed to pieces..."

Fujimaru Tachika looked at the stubborn girl.

"I don't know exactly what's going on, but His Majesty Nero is an ordinary human right now?"

The blond girl bit her soft lips with white teeth, and tightly held the railing with both hands.

"If Miss Nero were a heroic spirit now, I would definitely fight with you without a doubt."

"Even if you lose the battle, I will accompany you, but Miss Nero is [Rome] now."

"The survival of Rome in this era is, without a doubt, a turning point for humanity."

"I want you to live."

The blond haired girl looked at Fujimaru Tachika sadly.

"If I don't leave, Fujimaru...will you leave too? Just like uncle and mother...will you leave me?"

It seemed that she was waiting for an answer.

As an emperor, he will never admit defeat, this is the will of the girl to protect.

No hesitation.

The young man named Fujimaru Ritsuka had only one option at this time.

"No, if you really want to fight here, then I will fight with you."

Simon Magers:......

The magician looked at Fujimaru Tachika and summed up two words

ill.

"Nero, if that's the case, it should be the best choice to spend a lifetime with [the person you like] in this twisted world."

"But, if, I mean if. The truth may be unacceptable to you, will you still muster up the courage to fight?"

The magician frowned, and there seemed to be a shivering light in his black eyes.

"Yu is Rome, and Rome will definitely not back down at this time."

"I will fight, even if there is only Yu left...My teacher, you should take Fujimaru and leave."

"With those words, Yu is already very satisfied... Although I haven't been with you for a long time, I like you very much. If it weren't for the despair in front of me... I would definitely let you be my princess. .”

Nero showed a sweet and moving smile. Even in a desperate situation, the girl felt a little joy.

There is also a kind of intolerance.

"Fujimaru...you're like this... well, it's fine to leave. As the emperor of Rome, I have a reason to stand here."

"but you..."

"I can't just leave Nero alone. If there is any difficulty, I hope to face it with Nero."

Fujimaru Ritsuka answered as he should.

"Fujimaru...!"

There was a different kind of emotion in Nero's eyes.

"Fuck, I just knew it would be like this."

The bones between the thumbs of Ximen's hands made a crunching sound, and he cursed dissatisfiedly and helplessly.

"If His Majesty Nero stays, then I will stay and fight."

Fujimaru Tatsuka said firmly.

"After the rebellion, I said that since it has been decided, we must first help Nero regain the throne and defeat another [false] Nero."

Tatsuka Fujimaru, who had seen another Nero with his own eyes, suggested.

"Ah... Phew, false Nero... Okay. But Master, have you thought about how to fight him?"

The magician took a deep breath of scorching carbon dioxide, rubbed his hands together, and asked.

"You've seen the strength of that Nero, right? It's stronger than the Heroic Spirit [Nero] you know, and you can't defeat it just by talking."

"Also, even if you think there is a way to defeat her, it doesn't work...We have only one way to defeat her."

"There is only one way?"

Fujimaru Tachika and Nero asked suspiciously at the same time.

"That is the [Holy Grail]."

holy grail? !

I am familiar with this!

"Could it be the Holy Grail that forms this singularity?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked in surprise with his eyes widened.

"No."

Simon looked at the dark ceiling, then shook his head: "It's not the Holy Grail that distorts history."

"That kind of thing is just a powerful magic crystallization."

"The Holy Grail I am talking about is not this false thing."

"It's the real Holy Grail that was used 30 years ago, on the eve of salvation."

"The real Holy Grail?!"

In this era, logically speaking, only 30 years have passed since the Son of God redeemed the world.

According to the holy grail stained with the blood of Christ, is the key to this world?

Fujimaru Tachika seemed to understand.

"Hmm, I generally understand. But where is the [real Holy Grail] now?"

"My guess is that it is held by a Christian, but I'm not sure where it is right now."

"In this era of war and chaos, it is not uncommon for people to die and be lost in the wild."
