Chapter 32, Big! Nero! Sacrifice to!
I don't know when it started, Sasaki Kojiro blended into everyone's team very naturally.
Siegfei and the others watched Sasaki Kojiro naturally follow, thinking that it was Fujimaru Rika who had reached some kind of friendly cooperation agreement with him, so they didn't say much.
Who knows, not at all.
Yes, after the treatment was over, Niijima Yae hurried to the next gladiatorial arena that needed medical personnel. Two shots were fired in quick succession, causing a moment of confusion and leaving a mess behind.
Then, Kojiro Sasaki followed.
He had no talent for magic, and the long knife that came with him when he was summoned was broken, and he threw the blade into the scabbard along with the broken blade, and carried the sword diagonally, as if nothing had happened. In this way, it is natural to follow everyone to converge.
"Hehe, as the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring. As for the gift of food......"
Kojiro Sasaki smiled, closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said:
"It's just one more mouth to eat, and it's like raising an idler."
“…… Please do your job! ”
Yagi Yukisai couldn't hold back and complained about him.
Kojiro Sasaki smiled and said nothing.
As a swordsman, his most important armament was broken. But he can't help it. Although there is no mystery in this sword, it is also a weapon that was registered in Valhalla as a heroic spirit, and it has no magic power, but it can harm the servants of the spirit.
I was able to go to the blacksmith and make an identical knife, but it didn't make sense. The iron forged by ordinary people is not lethal to the servant.
Repair? Well...... In terms of the technology of the Roman Empire now...... It should be difficult to repair the broken katana perfectly, at most it is to forcibly smelt the broken blade together with iron, not to mention whether it is feasible or not, even if it is really successful, the change in quality will affect the feel of the knife, and a samurai like Sasaki Kojiro who is proficient in swordsmanship will only feel more awkward.
So, having lost his weapon, he calmly gave up the fight, put his hands in his long sleeves, and followed everyone to join the tour group halfway.
However, no one objected, and it was better to have multiple friends, even if that friend didn't fight and didn't help them, than multiple enemies.
Besides, Kojiro has been here for more than a month, and there must be something that everyone doesn't know about the information...... Probably, right?
Fujimaru Rika looked at everyone and also spoke: "Anyway, it's lively with one more person, let's go shopping together!" Nero's Sacrifice! ”
The place where everyone met was the center of the capital Rome, a huge square, polished smooth pure white ashlar paved with a clean and calm foundation of the Roman Empire. In the center is a huge fountain, a statue of a young girl holding a kettle-like thing in her hand, wearing a gauze skirt and an olive branch on her head, from the mouth of which a steady stream of water gushes.
Look closely, that face is the face of Emperor Nero. Originally, Yagi Yukisai thought it was a goddess like Venus, but it turned out to be the emperor......
It's right to think about it, although the number of interviews is not much, but listening to everyone's description, you can understand that she is indeed the type who likes to put her statues everywhere.
Centered here, radiating around, are a variety of Roman-style shops, the more luxurious, will use wooden pillars to support a tent, the more ordinary, just spread a brightly colored blanket directly on the ground, put their goods on it.
Around the shop, there is an endless stream of Romans, and the crowd is full of people, and there is a bustling scene.
Even though the Nero Festival has been going on for a month, everyone still took out the best thing they could and put it on the table.
At first glance, it is still mainly selling artistic dishes, pots and pans, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Yagi Yukisai doesn't know what the customs of Rome are, but is this street stall normal? Or was Nero's sacrifice a special exception? It's not clear.
I can only feel that such a bustling street scene really doesn't look like an ancient city.
This morning's gladiatorial fights are over, and it's time to rest. It will take about two hours before the afternoon gladiatorial battle, when the winner of the four gladiatorial arenas in the morning will be the final victor in the gladiatorial arena appointed by Emperor Nero, and then enter the golden palace of His Majesty Nero for the final trial in front of the palace.
At that time, it will be Emperor Caligula, Archon Caesar, or Emperor Nero himself, or maybe all three, in short, such a dream combination. Exactly who came here depended entirely on the mood of His Majesty Nero at that time.
Then after this battle, the victor could present his wish to His Majesty Nero.
Then, it was the end of the Nero festival and the parade of floats.
That is, the one that Rika Fujimaru caught up with yesterday afternoon.
Cycle.
As Leonardo da Vinci said, the emperor who was overly addicted to hedonism did not think clearly about the effect of such a continuous national celebration.
After the over-consumption of materials and the nationwide missed cultivation season, there will be a nationwide catastrophe.
I don't know if it was Leif, Catherine, or anyone else who came up with the plan, but it was too nasty and full of disgusting damn practices of boiling frogs in warm water.
(However, once in a while, let her have a good time.) )
Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's shining eyes, looking at Mathew's curious gaze looking around, Yagi Yukisai thought so in his heart.
(Female high school students, what do you want to mature?) What do you want to be steady? It's just going to be fun. It's like Obon or something, so it's fun. Solve the incident or something, just go with the flow. )
Thinking so, Yagi Yukisai took the initiative to remind: "Look, there seems to be a shop that makes honey candy cakes over there, do you want to try it?" ”
"Yes!"
Not surprisingly, when Fujimaru Rika heard the words honey, her mouth was no longer clear, it was obviously a word, but it was extremely wet because of her saliva.
So, a group of people crowded into the store.
The shopkeeper was originally startled, not to mention anything else, just Ziegfei's size, which store manager saw a man who was one meter nine tall, without saying a word, and a man with a big sword behind his back standing in front of him without saying a word. However, he quickly understood from the clothes of the crowd that they were the brave men summoned by Emperor Nero, and quickly changed his smile and shouted for his own sugar cakes.
Fujimaru Rika was very greedy, and with a wave of his hand, he bought one for each of them - it was Emperor Nero who paid the bill anyway, and she didn't feel distressed at all. It's better to say that if she doesn't buy anything, she will feel distressed. It's really nice to have such a generous emperor backstage.
Fujimaru Rika took a bite of the sugar cake, a new product baked with a thick layer of honey on top of cheese, and it was said that it was a recipe provided by a brave man from another world, and I don't know which brave man proposed such a fireworks. The sweet honey spreads along with the soft and smooth taste of the cheese, and thousands of emotions are only gathered into one sentence:
"Delicious!"
And I don't know when, Fujimaru Rika suddenly looked like someone next to him.
I couldn't see my face clearly, I could only vaguely see a white dress, and his expression seemed to be very serious.
