Nero Claudius!

When we saw the name signed, we were all shocked.

Nero, the last emperor of the first dynasty of the Roman Empire and the notorious tyrant in history!

Not only in later generations, but even in the sixth century A.D., the deeds of this man are extremely famous.

Legend has it that Emperor Nero had his men set fire to the city of Rome in order to expand his palace. The fire lasted for six days and seven nights, destroying most of the city of Rome and killing and injuring countless civilians.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people in later generations, Nero's behavior has been undoubted with the demons of hell.

"It seems that the situation is worse than we expected." Joan of Arc's expression was completely serious, "If it was really that Emperor Nero who came to the world, then I am afraid it would be a great catastrophe. ”

This statement is not wrong, if Nero's deeds during his lifetime are true, the destructive power of such a tyrant as a heroic spirit will only be greater than that of his lifetime.

"Joan of Arc, did you ever see Nero when you were in the Throne of the Immortals?" I turned to Joan of Arc and asked, "If you have any impressions, maybe we can come up with some plans for battle." ”

Joan of Arc, however, only shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Emiya-sama. Although Valhalla is home to heroes from all over the world, they don't know each other well. In the end, it is like a school in later generations, although everyone theoretically lives together, but it is still the same class that people are most familiar with. If you cross classes or even grades, relationships can become distant. It's not surprising if you meet someone with a more eccentric personality and haven't talked to each other until you graduate. ”

“…… And the fact that I was able to meet Miss Bairong was really an accident of chance. On weekdays, the Heroic Spirits of Europe rarely interact with the Heroic Spirits of Western Asia. And no matter how far away the Roman heroes are, there is almost no contact. ”

"Ah, that's true." I nodded, and Joan of Arc's example could be said to be very apt.

If you compare the Seat of the Valhalla to a school, every Immortal is a student in it.

Heroic spirits form many "classes" according to different regions, and many "grades" according to different years of life.

Of course, the structure over there is only 10 million times more complicated than that of ordinary schools.

And the relationship between Joan of Arc and Nero is equivalent to crossing both classes and grades, so it is normal for them to not know each other.

As far as I'm concerned, in the modern Fuyuki Shogunhara Academy, even if I'm a person like me who is often dragged by the student council president Issei from classroom to classroom, after all, there are only a few people who often chat on weekdays.

None of the people in the class knew much, let alone the seniors and juniors.

While I was chatting with Joan of Arc, Artoria didn't say a word, frowning and staring at the message repeatedly.

"What's the matter, did you find anything?"

Sensing the abnormality, I couldn't help but look at her and asked.

"I always have a feeling......," the girl pursed her lips and said with some unhappiness, "this letter must have come from a girl." ”

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, Joan of Arc and I opened our mouths in surprise at the same time.

"The letter has rose petals attached to it, and it is accompanied by a fragrant scent, which would be strange if it were a man." "More than that," said the girl, "my first impression is that if the author of this letter had not been a girl, it would have been impossible to write such beautiful and neat handwriting. ”

"This ...... Knight King, your thinking circuit is a little out of line...... "Joan of Arc said a little confused, "the famous tyrant Nero is a girl, this kind of thing...... It's also incredible. ”

"It may be true from the perspective of others, but it is normal for the person concerned." The girl shook her head and said, "In my time, it must have been even more difficult for a king to become a man and become an emperor in an earlier empire. Of course, this is just my guess, and it is not necessarily true. ”

“…… Speaking of which, I should have met that Emperor Nero. ”

Thinking of the scene I had seen through the Holy Grail before, I told the two girls in front of me about my experience at that time.

"Actually...... It will be so. After hearing this, Joan of Arc looked extremely surprised, "If the girl in red you saw at that time was the Emperor Nero, then it must be some unknown fate between you and her." ”

"Perhaps, but she's also a nuisance who doesn't listen to anyone at all." I smiled wryly, "If you want her to help, it won't work out." ”

Although it was basically a unilateral speech by the girl in red at that time, I was also very impressed by her willful and reckless behavior.

The Roman Empire was a vast territory throughout history, especially during the first dynasty founded by Augustus himself.

With Nero's help, he can control a large area of Eurasia in an instant. But this goal is not easy to talk about.

"But I have to thank you anyway, Contractor." Joan of Arc smiled brightly, "Thank you for choosing me between me and Nero at that time. It is only now that I understand that I am so important and irreplaceable in your heart. ”

However, it was Artoria who stood by and smiled brighter than her.

"Well, I understand. In other words, Shirou had contact with other strange girls without my permission, right, and even had an intimate conversation. Why didn't you tell me? ”

The girl's smile made cold sweat break out on my forehead.

"This ...... I didn't expect to meet her again so soon, did I? I smiled and tried to defend myself, "I thought it was just an unrelated accident. ”

"Oh? So what Shirou means is, if you didn't have today's incident, you would have planned to hide it from me for the rest of your life? ”

"Where...... I've never thought of it that way......"

"Okay, Knight King, don't embarrass Lord Wei Gong anymore." At the critical moment, Joan of Arc came up to relieve me, "There's no way to do it in that case, right?" Why be jealous for such a small thing. ”

"I ...... I'm so jealous! I just don't like the Roman Emperor! Could it be that I'm still worried that she won't be able to snatch Shirou away? And you don't have to get so close to Shirou! ”

Just when the situation is in a mess and almost out of control-

"Your Majesty, may I ask what will happen to the army next? You've been waiting for a long time, so please give your order. ”

Lancelot strode over and asked.

When she was in Britain, Artoria left most of the usual affairs to me, and she still led the army.

After all, she is a knight king, and leading troops to fight is her forte.
