"As long as you are willing to change this kind of thing, it will be the greatest exchange for me - but in order to make you feel at ease, you can also achieve a goal for me."

"Target?"

"Yes." Leif nodded. "Let's get rid of that person named Agrippina. She's too much of a hindrance."

"But you should know she can do 'magic'," Ian replied.

"Yeah!" Rafe reached out and gently touched Ian's forehead.

"But I didn't say you wouldn't."

"By the way, remember to endure this pain, otherwise you won't be able to help your lover Nero."

"Also, don't tell anyone about what happened today."

The next moment the man finished speaking, Ian felt pain beginning to spread through his body.

He felt like his heart was melting, and every inch of his skin seemed to be pierced by countless needles, and it even felt like it was being gnawed from time to time.

"It's really strange... Even though this is the first time we meet, I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity."

Leif muttered as he picked up the Holy Grail and walked into the rain without looking back.

Ian was the only one left, holding his chest and struggling in pain on the ground like a fish out of water.

"Nero... Nero..."

This is the man's cry from the bottom of his heart, and it is also the last support for him to continue to maintain the idea of ​​​​survival in this situation.

After the rain, the sky cleared up.

Nero woke up after having a sweet dream all night.

Recalling the time when she married her teacher in her dream, the girl couldn't help but feel shy.

"I must find a way to make this happen..."

Nero thought so, and then he just stood there in a daze.

Because she saw a scene that broke her heart.

Ian was seen lying on the bed with his back covered in blood. He looked so fragile that he could hardly breathe.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you——!"

404. Nero: The teacher can only like me/Magic Research/Expulsion (4k)

【This is an unprecedented injury to you. 】

[You fell into a coma as a result.]

[Due to his status as emperor, Nero cannot stay by your side all the time like before. 】

[But even so, she still tried her best to take care of you in person - even if she was not a lover, but a former student. ]

[Every late night, she will come to your bedside. ]

"Teacher, what's wrong with you..."

Nero held Ian's hand tightly, clear tears falling from his green eyes uncontrollably.

Because of his company, she hadn't cried like this for so long that she had forgotten what it felt like.

"You must wake up - I command you to wake up!"

[This kind of confession lasted for nearly a month.]

[I don't know if Nero's persistence touched fate, or if the harm that person named Leif has caused you has come to an end.]

【On a moonlit night, you woke up. 】

"Nero, stop crying. The teacher will feel bad."

"Eh?!"

Nero opened his eyes and saw Ian sitting up in bed and smiling at him.

She pinched herself and realized she was not dreaming.

"Teacher, you're awake--!"

After saying this, the girl rushed over and hugged the man tightly, refusing to let go even for a second.

It seemed as if he would disappear the next moment if she let go.

Ian totally understands this, too.

So when Nero had almost vented his emotions and gradually calmed down, he said softly:

"Okay, can you let me go now?"

"If this continues... the teacher's bones will fall apart."

"Hmm?!" Nero then realized that he was too excited and immediately let go of his hand.

"I didn't mean it, teacher...I'm sorry!"

"It's okay." Ian reached out and gently stroked Nero's head, "I know you are worried about me."

"I heard your call."

"……Yeah?"

Nero's cheeks flushed slightly.

"I thought those calls would go unnoticed by the teacher."

"No, Nero, I heard it all - including your crying. You were the one who brought me out of that stupor."

"Hmm~"

Nero puffed out his proud chest with pride.

"I am the Emperor of Rome."

"So it's only natural that I can do this!"

"..."

"..."

Ian and Nero looked at each other, and gradually only each other's figure remained in their eyes.

Their bodies moved closer and closer, and finally a simple kiss was given to completely release the feelings in each other's hearts.

"It's been more than a month since I last did this kind of thing with the teacher~"

Nero gently wiped his lips, feeling a little shy, but at the same time more happy to see Ian wake up.

"Speaking of which-"

"Can you tell me what happened to the teacher that night?"

"..."

【You wanted to tell Nero all this. 】

[But you recalled the last message the man who called himself Leif left you on that thunderous night.]

"Don't tell anyone about this."

[Although you can't be sure whether what he said is true, you know now that you have only one choice: to believe it.]

[A future where Nero becomes a tyrant and is spurned by history is something you don’t want to see anyway.]

After thinking for a moment, Ian decided to answer Nero in a relatively less deceptive way.

"Nero, the teacher is going to learn 'magic'."

"'magic'?"

Nero blinked his eyes, apparently trying to recall something related to it.

Soon, she recalled some fragments of words.

"Teacher, are you talking about the contents recorded in some strange books? I remember... their authenticity has not been verified."

"Yes." Ian nodded, letting her know that what he said was not wrong.

"but--"

“It’s precisely because there’s no record that I want to try.”

"Nero... there are some things I think I have to tell you now."

"Hmm?"

[You told her that Nero's mother Agrippina had killed three husbands in succession.]

【You did not hide your assistance in this.】

[You know this might affect Nero's opinion of you - but all of this will be made public sooner or later.]

[Rather than waiting to get angry when you find out about this secret someday in the future, it is better to confess it now. ]

"..."

"..."

The room fell into deathly silence.

Nero, who learned of this secret, bit his lips and seemed to be thinking about something.

Ian looked at her like this and mentally prepared himself - there would definitely be an extremely angry rebuke later, right?

however--

Things did not develop as Ian expected.

Faced with this sudden secret, Nero asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"teacher."

"Have you... been keeping this secret to yourself all this time?"

"Yes." Ian nodded.

"after all--"

"This is indeed a very beneficial thing for you."

"Why didn't you tell Yu earlier?" Nero grabbed Ian's hand and muttered.

"Eh?"

Ian was a little surprised by Nero's reaction.

In his intuition, she would be very angry after hearing these things - that was her father.

"Nero, if you're unhappy, just say it directly. Now thinking back on these things, I feel that I really didn't handle it well enough."

"Not happy?"

Nero tilted his head slightly.

"Why should I be unhappy? Shouldn't I be happy?"

"Teacher, you chose to do this for me. I am not a heartless person. How could I be unhappy about this?"

"But I clearly killed your father together with your mother."

"I don't care about him." Nero replied bluntly.

"Because I know that my father doesn't care about me either. He just wants to get my mother."

"Besides -"

Nero pushed Ian, who had just sat up, down and then leaned his whole body on him.

"I should have said that a long time ago."

"I only care about my teacher - even my father is no exception."

"It seems that the teacher is a little overprotective of Yu."
