"So that's what you were thinking?" Umaru chuckled involuntarily. "No wonder you always leave a little early."

"There's no way around it, the company is just too crowded. Every day at the end of the workday, especially during the time when we clock out, it takes half an hour just to queue for the elevator."

"I know that. I've heard that many people arrive at work several tens of minutes early in the morning. Well... mainly those employees on the higher floors."

Since there was still some time before the end of the workday, I walked to the parking lot and found it empty and unobstructed.

Umaru sat in the back seat and tried several times, but she never succeeded. Every time she tried, she turned into a slime.

"What's going on? I should be able to transform into a chibi anime character, right? My intuition tells me that I should be able to do it. Is it because the two transformation skills are mixed up?"

Ugh... If only I could transform instantly with a click of the mouse, like in a game.

Real-world skills require gradual training and exploration.

Nero stared at Umaru's transformed slime for a while, wanting to touch it, but its form changed too quickly, and before she could even make a move, it had already transformed back.

"If I remember correctly, your new ability is to create a clone, right? In order for you to use it properly, the Voice of the World has changed the second ability you will receive today to multitasking."

"Huh...? In my understanding, this should be a combination of transformation and clones, and that's what my mind is telling me too. So, does this mean that transformation is some kind of advanced technique?"

With that in mind, Umaru temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​transforming into a chibi form and began to try to create clones.

This time it went very smoothly. With a slight thought, a little Umaru separated from my body and sat down next to me, making eye contact with Umaru.

"Wow...! This skill is amazing. The perspective instantly splits into two, allowing me to control two bodies simultaneously."

"Raise your hand, shake hands, hehe..."

"I want to play too!" Nero couldn't help but grab Umaru and hug her, her face full of excitement. "She's really only 40 centimeters long, and her body is so light and soft. She's so cute."

Seeing this, Mashiro, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also turned her head and reached out to poke Umaru's cheeks twice.

"Little Burai is so cute."

"I'm not a toy."

Umaru quickly reached out and gently touched her other self, and the two-headed clone instantly disappeared.

"That's so stingy, considering how fun this ability is!" Nero couldn't help but complain.

"Our senses were completely connected, it felt like we were being tricked, it was so embarrassing."

Umaru smiled awkwardly and tried to change the subject:

"What abilities does His Majesty Nero possess? By the way, how much have you changed compared to when you were alive?"

"Good question. My achievements in life have all become my treasures after I became a heroic spirit, accompanying me."

Nero picked up the deep red longsword that was at his feet and introduced it with a smile:

"Just like this sword, it was just an ornament in life, but I always kept it with me because it was beautiful."

"But it has no lethality; even if it pierces the leather, it has no effect."

"When I committed suicide, I also used another short blade."

"After I became a Heroic Spirit, this sword also transformed into a Noble Phantasm. It is indestructible, and as long as it is infused with magic power, it can unleash flames. The more magic power, the greater the destructive power."

"Of course, my favorite treasure is the Golden Theater, which can recreate the theater I built during my lifetime. This is also my proudest achievement."

Umaru was speechless. As the emperor, his proudest treasure was the theater. Wasn't something wrong with that?

Moreover, compared to Artoria, isn't Nero a bit weak?

"Does Miss Nero have any other Noble Phantasms?"

"For me, having the Golden Theater is enough."

"Is that all? I see Artoria has not only the Sword in the Stone and Excalibur, but also the scabbard Avalon, and it seems she also has the Holy Lance..."

Nero inexplicably felt looked down upon and couldn't help but flick Umaru's forehead:

"Hmph...! My Golden Theater is the most powerful Noble Phantasm. I'll definitely let you see it for yourself another day."

“Yes…yes.”

Umaru couldn't help but laugh.

Miss Nero is really competitive. It seems I can't praise other Heroic Spirits in front of her anymore.

However, she didn't seem to feel anything when the Heroic Spirit flicked her forehead. It didn't hurt at all. Did she deliberately use less force?

"Your Majesty Nero, I have a question. Can you promise you won't get angry?"

"What's the problem? I promise I won't swear."

How different are you from the real you and how you are recorded in history?

"After I regained consciousness three years ago, I read the historical records after my death. I can say that they were 100% fake and 1% true."

"Then...which part is true?"

Which part do you want to ask about?

Sexual orientation.

"...Rumors, that part is pure rumor. I love all beautiful things, whether they are beautiful girls or beautiful boys, but I only appreciate them. As for playing with them, that's pure slander. Until I die, I will remain a virgin."

Umaru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her personality was almost exactly the same as in the manga, and she certainly didn't seem like the kind of person described in historical records.

"Then... what about the fire in Rome? Miss Nero didn't start it herself, did she?"

"Of course not! That's my absolute favorite city, Rome. I'd have to be crazy to set fire to it. Those hypocritical bastards actually pinned this crime on me; they're completely heartless."

Chapter 473 At this moment, Nero also fell silent.

"Mom, this is Nero, the Roman emperor who has just been born."

Upon hearing what Masamune said, Hayase Kinue immediately inquired excitedly:

“Miss Nero doesn’t seem like a bad person. She’s so different from the historical records. And she looks just like Gray.”

"By the way, historical records indicate that Nero died at the age of 30. Why do you look only about 20 years old?"

"Historical records state that Nero personally executed his mother and several wives. Even if this is false, it is certain that he was married."

“But Miss Nero is a woman. If she had a husband, there would certainly be a historical record of it.”

"And, and... the legendary fire of Rome..."

Noticing Nero's embarrassed and somewhat dejected expression, Masamune took the initiative to speak:

"Mom, your continuous questioning is a bit scary. Let me say it for you."

"Objectively speaking, Miss Nero was not a bad person. She underestimated the power of the Senate and barely maintained her rule while her mother was alive."

"After his mother's death, power was unbalanced. He lost the struggle against the Senate and the Church. All his good policies toward the common people were erased, his reputation was tarnished, and he eventually became a notorious tyrant."

He was probably only in his early twenties when he died.

Hearing this, Hayase Kinue couldn't help but hug Nero and said softly:

"You must be very lonely, right? From now on, we will all be your family."

At that moment, Nero felt inexplicably embarrassed and responded softly.

"Thank you. I was very curious about this place when I watched the anime Masamune-kun before. I never thought I would actually set foot here."

"By the way, where's Chinatsu? Hasn't she gone home from school yet?"

“That part is a parallel world setting,” Masamune explained. “In reality, I am an only child and do not have a younger sister named Chinatsu. For the Hayase family in reality, you can refer to Junshiro.”

"I see. When I watched Pure White before, I thought Chika had gone to another place. So it was a different setting?"

"That's it. Besides us, Tomoyo and Rita are also at home, but they have other work to do today and will be back a little late."

"This part doesn't seem quite the same as pure white?"

"Well, there will always be some differences between reality and animation."

"understood."

Nero glanced at Umaru and nodded slightly.

The anime *Pure White* is essentially a one-woman show featuring Mashiro as the female protagonist, which inevitably diminishes the roles of other female characters.

In reality, wealthy families will almost certainly marry multiple women, having more than one wife.

Realizing it was getting late, Hayase Kinue subconsciously asked:

"Mr. Zong, when are Tomoyo and Rita coming back? Should we wait for them for dinner tonight?"

"Wait a minute, let me send a message to ask."

Masamune took out his phone, sent a text message, and quickly received a response.

"Tomoyo said that the two of them were eating out and that we didn't need to wait."

"Okay. What work did they do today? What time will they be back?"

"Kawafuji has accumulated quite a few painting commissions, and I heard that many of them are very expensive. I've sent them over to see what's going on."

"That art dealer?"

"Yes."

“I see, I understand completely now. Mashiro’s paintings are getting better and better. The other day, my neighbor’s wife asked me how much it would cost to commission a painting from Mashiro.”

Did we have any neighbors before?

"Anyone who lives on this street is a neighbor."

Masamune was speechless, and at the same time, another question came to mind.

To be honest, many of the residents on this street are bodyguards in disguise, but there are also some real neighbors.

I found out by chance, I don't know if my mom knows?

Huh...?

It is said that some families have men, women, and children, but the men in the family have also appeared in the ranks of bodyguards.

So, could these people be here as bodyguards with their families?

“Let’s start eating. By the way, how’s Nero’s appetite? Should I make some more?” Hayase Kinue said with a smile.
