"Erase them all...... What does that mean? ”

When I heard Nero's words, my heart struck.

"It's exactly literal." Nero said calmly, "Everything about the Knight King, from the first day you met to the last time you met, all memories will be erased. Because the world defaulted to that it was a record that didn't exist. ”

"That is, will I forget about her completely?"

I was silent for a moment and asked.

"Not only that, but the erasure of this memory is probably a two-way street." Nero shook his head, "On the Knight King's side, memories of you will also disappear. In other words, from now on, the two of you are complete strangers, as if you have never met, and you can't even hate. Can the musician understand what a sad ending it was? ”

The pressure was so heavy that I couldn't breathe.

Completely forget about each other, each other is nothing......

This should be compared to a false lie. It's going to be a miserable end.

"So, the performer might as well listen to Yu's advice." Nero couldn't bear to say, "Just as if nothing happened, you still live happily and ordinarily as before, and live these three years well." In this way, it is better than being desperately busy, but you can't even leave a little memory of each other. ”

"I can understand what you mean." I nodded, "But I don't want to do that." ”

"Performer, do you have to insist even so?" Nero looked at me with some incomprehension, "Yu doesn't understand, what is Qing relying on as motivation?" ”

"Because...... If you really love someone in your heart and want her to be happy, you don't need any other strings attached. I shook my head, "All I want is for Artoria to be free again and live happily ever after." Even if she doesn't have me by her side from now on, then my goal can be considered to have been achieved. ”

I remembered the look of deep sadness in the eyes of the blonde girl on the night before the expedition.

I'm afraid she knew about this before me.

Even if they are redeemed, they still have to forget each other, and they are destined not to stay together for a long time.

However, she did not inform me of all this, for fear that I would not be able to bear such cruel consequences.

"But...... Doesn't the performer feel unfair to this kind of thing that is completely unrewarding? Nero looked at me hesitantly, "Even from now on, I can only go to one side of the world, and I don't even have the right to miss sadly?" ”

"I didn't know at the time, but at this moment, I won't regret this kind of thing." I shook my head and said, "So, I came to Rome to ask for your help. ”

"Help Qing, is it right to rewrite the legend of the Knight King?" Nero pursed his lips, "So, what does the player need to do?" ”

"Please, within the control of Rome, spread as much as possible the story of the Knight King, which I have modified."

As soon as I raised my hand, a bound notebook appeared.

"I've written the main story on it, Nero, you can take a look, if there's anything that needs to be changed, we can discuss it again. As long as you can change Artoria's image from a single revered spiritual symbol to a new hero that everyone can accept. ”

"Not only that, but Yu can do more."

Nero didn't take the notes from my hand, his eyes still fixed on me.

"Qing, you might as well take advantage of this time in Rome to inform Yu in detail about the events since Qing and the Knight King met." Nero said, "Yu will order his clerks to bind these stories into a book and circulate them as anecdotes." ”

"Huh? Wouldn't that help me recover my memory? Isn't it possible for me to read this again and I'll be able to ......?"

I asked, somewhat surprised.

"No, if the player's memory is restored, then the efforts of the past three years will be wasted." However, Nero's merciless voice shattered my hopes, "Since Qing is determined to change the legend of the Knight King, he must convince everyone in the world of the new story, and there can be no exceptions. ”

"That's right...... I understand. ”

I sighed, and sure enough, the reality was not as good as I imagined.

"However, as long as everyone thinks that such a thing as an anecdote is fake, it will not hinder the operation of real history." Nero winked at me, "Even if it's something that can't be recovered, at least it can leave a little trace, and it will be the talk of people after dinner, better than nothing." ”

“…… Well, thank you. ”

After a long time, I nodded slightly.

If it had been in the past, I don't think I would have agreed to such a thing.

But now, as long as even the slightest trace can be left, it is not in vain.

"Alright Performer, then ...... next"

Nero changed his mood and tried to say something to me with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

At this time, a soldier broke open the closed door and ran into the palace in a panic.

"What are you doing? Didn't Yu give an order not to let anyone in? Nero's face looked a little bad, "Also, why don't you just call Yu by his name?" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but...... There was a commotion in the city of Rome! The soldier gasped for breath, his face covered in sweat proving that he had come all the way, "It seems like ...... The Divine Ancestor has arrived! ”

"What?! What Qing is talking about is the ...... Emperor Romulus? ”

When Nero heard this, his whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he asked in a daze.

He ...... That's what he calls himself, right. The soldier said in a hurried tone, "That Divine Ancestor also brought a powerful army, and asked to meet Your Majesty just outside the city!" ”

“…… That's it, then I'm going to go. ”

Nero was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

With that, Nero turned to me with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry performer, I'm going to walk away......"

"Let me go with me." I shook my head and said, "Now that I'm in Rome, I'd like to be able to do a little bit too." Since I asked you for help, I can't just give nothing. ”

"It's okay, with Qing by his side, Yu can feel a lot more at ease."

Nero smiled and nodded.

——

Leaving the palace, we rode all the way to the city walls.

"Your Majesty Nero!"

When they saw Nero coming, all the guards of the city saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me, tell Yu what's going on now?"

Nero waved his hand decisively, and the emperor's momentum was fully displayed.

"Your Majesty...... Outside the city there was a strong army asking to enter Rome, and their leader called himself Romulus......" the soldiers said in embarrassment, "because they really don't know what to do, so you need to make a judgment." ”
