The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

but--

No one has ever said that madmen can’t be partners, right?

"I understand. Since it's an exchange of interests, I feel relieved."

"but……"

Agrippina looked at the cliff in front of her and her tone began to become heavy.

"If you know why I came here, you must also know that I have nothing now."

"No, ma'am." The man shook his head.

"You are not without anything."

"You... still have a chess piece that can be used and is good enough to be used."

"what?!"

[You didn't know that Leif and Agrippina had this meeting on the cliff.]

[Your energy is all focused on the prophecy from the future—Nero will become a tyrant despised by history.]

【What on earth is going on? 】

"Why did you become a tyrant?"

"why?"

This is the question Ian has been asking himself recently.

As a teacher of benevolence, he made sure that he had never taught Nero anything about tyranny.

Besides, to be fair, he didn't think his student would do such a thing - how could an emperor who was willing to walk through most of Rome with him to find out the situation use violence to control the people?

Which link exactly went wrong?

Ian scratched his head but couldn't figure it out.

He didn't care what became of his own reputation, but Nero's did.

This is not the injustice she deserves.

dong dong——

Several knocks on the door brought Ian back from his thoughts.

"who is it?"

"It's me." The voice of a familiar guard came from outside the door.

"Lord Seneca, His Majesty has something important to ask you. Please go to her room immediately."

"..."

"Okay, I understand, I'll go there now."

[Following the guard's instructions, you left your room.]

[After walking through a long corridor, you arrived in front of Nero's rooms. ]

[She herself was standing there with a serious expression, looking quite unhappy.]

[“My dear minister, you are too slow. If you delay national affairs, it will be a serious crime.”]

[After saying these words of reproach, Nero took you into his room.]

【Everyone thought you were going to be in big trouble. 】

[But only you know——Nero is using her cleverness again. ]

in the room.

Nero had lost all the serious look he had at the door.

Instead, there was a face full of joy.

She held the man's hand and asked excitedly, "Teacher, how was Yu's performance? Did he look like he was really angry?"

"..."

Although he had somewhat expected this to happen, Ian still felt relieved.

After all, he was indeed worried that he would displease Nero - even if the possibility was less than one in ten thousand.

"You performed very well. The teacher was frightened by you."

"..."

Nero immediately heard the change in Ian's tone.

She lowered her head and apologized:

"Sorry, teacher."

"I just wanted to see you in the morning, but I didn't expect it would have such a psychological impact on the teacher."

"I won't do that next time."

"..."

Ian hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and gently stroked Nero's fair and smooth cheek.

"No, let's continue next time."

"Although I was indeed frightened by you, Nero, I also hope to see you in the morning."

"Hmm?!"

Upon hearing this, Nero immediately became excited.

"Really?" She pushed her teacher to the wall with her proud breasts, not wanting to give her even a chance to escape.

"Does the teacher think so too?"

"Of course, there's absolutely no need for me to lie to you about this kind of thing, right?"

"Hmm, that's great~"

"..."

[Looking at Nero's cheering face, you can't understand how she became a tyrant. ]

[She is so cute, she doesn't look like someone who would harm the Roman people. ]

[Could it be——]

[Is that guy named Leif deceiving me? ]

[This possibility was quickly denied by you.]

[Because you know this is irrational - if he really wanted to deceive himself, it would be impossible for him to "grant" himself the method to find the true meaning of magic.]

[He said those words because he really saw Nero's future. ]

【你陷入了沉思。】

"teacher?"

"teacher!"

"teacher--!!!!"

Nero shouted several times before waking Ian from her thoughts about her future.

"What's wrong with you?" The girl supported her waist with her hands, pouted her lips, and looked quite unhappy.

"You've been distracted like this during our dates lately!"

"Hmm?! Is there a woman outside?!" Nero became alert, "If that's the case - I will definitely kill her!"

"No, there is no such thing."

Ian reacted quickly.

"How could I possibly look for a woman outside? It's impossible in this life - I have you, Nero, and that's enough for me."

"I guess my recent performance in bed should prove that, right?"

"..."

"I'll trust you for now." Nero muttered softly, recalling those storms, "But teacher, you have to explain to me why I was distracted!"

"I'm wondering how you're going to explain this to those people outside later?"

Ian glanced at the closed door.

"After all, you called me in in the name of state affairs, right?"

"Teacher, this is what you care about?"

Nero smiled confidently.

"Then you can rest assured, teacher. I do have a very important question that I want to ask you."

"Oh?"

Ian was a little surprised.

After all, the other party's behavior just now didn't seem like he had thought about it at all.

"what is the problem?"

"Magic." Nero answered, "I want to see the magic team that the teacher has prepared."

"..."

[I have to say, this is indeed a good reason. ]

[Although you didn't openly learn the principles of magic to the outside world, you did form a team for Nero that used magic as its basic attack method.]

[Nero never questioned you during this process—because you are the one she always trusts.]

【It's time to show her. 】

[This only belongs to Rome's own magician army! 】

In a college somewhere in Rome.

"Your Majesty Nero! Lord Seneca! You are here!"

"Locusta, I am so happy today. I can't wait to prepare a mushroom feast for you two!"

Yes.

The one who came to greet Ian and Nero was none other than Locusta.

She was once an assassin of Agrippina, but after Ian's promise that "we can forgive each other as long as you help", she betrayed the vicious woman without hesitation and directly acted as a guide, making everything go smoothly.

And this was not a sudden defection.

Ian had long realized that what Locusta cared about was not Agrippina at all, but Nero, who shone brightly in his speech in the Senate.

This is a fanatical belief that comes from the heart, and even the man himself admires it.

However, Ian was somewhat surprised to find that there was such a petite figure under the coat.

"Let's put the mushroom feast on hold for a while."

Ian declined Locusta's "kindness".

"Your Majesty wants to take a look at our magician troops today. Is that okay?"

"Of course, no problem!" Locusta nodded repeatedly, "Please come this way!"

Although Lokusta was good at poisoning mushrooms, based on the magic learning theory he had researched, Ian found that she had a good talent in this area.

She always learns things quickly if she is taught.

Because of this, the man put her in charge of daily leadership - in return for being allowed to experiment with her mushrooms on people who were sentenced to death by Roman law.

Locusta was already an extremely fanatical supporter of Nero. He was extremely delighted when he heard such conditions, and he acted very responsibly.

Ian was still very satisfied with her performance.

"Your Majesty, Lord Seneca." Locusta reported his work progress respectfully, "Now, I have taught them how to release the fireball."

“Please enjoy the show—!”
