"So it's about the Holy Grail... I thought you were really discussing something like that."

"How could I possibly treat you differently?" Ian smiled helplessly.

"I am very serious about this kind of thing."

"..."

Boudica said nothing, but nodded.

Because she knew that Ian was just stating the facts. He really did let the two girls experience what it meant to lose themselves in a night last night. It was something that once you experienced it seriously, you would never forget it.

"Okay, now that you're all awake, I'll show you what Chaldea is."

Boudica and Nero looked at each other and nodded.

With the help of the device that BB had repaired earlier, Ian quickly contacted Chaldea.

But before he could open his mouth, BB started to get anxious:

"Pig, why are you looking for BB now? What's going on over there?"

"BB, what do you mean?"

"Chaldea has detected an anomaly in your data. We wanted to contact you, but found that something seemed to be blocking us. It's really frustrating!"

Hearing this, Ian felt a little uneasy - he realized that Tamamonomae's premonition might have come true.

Without any hesitation, the man told BB the situation here.

"This..." BB hesitated for a moment before replying, "You have already taken back the Holy Grail, but that vixen thinks there is still a problem."

"Yes." Ian responded to his super AI.

"so--"

"BB, can you thoroughly check the situation on our end?"

"..."

BB was silent for a long time, and finally responded with a helpless tone.

"BB would like to help you...but there are too many things blown up in Chaldea."

"The physical basis of many things no longer exists. No matter how well BB is programmed, it can't do much."

"..."

"It's okay." Ian comforted BB, who was blaming himself for not being able to help for the time being, "BB, you've done a great job."

"Just wait for me in Chaldea. When I get back, I'll play the devil game with you."

Knowing that Ian was trying to comfort him, BB stopped looking sad.

She nodded: "...Okay, got it."

The call ended. Even though Boudica, who had heard the whole process, didn't understand the meaning of the conversation, she could understand from Ian's expression how bad the situation was.

"..."

Nero began to blame himself even more.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"If I had been stronger and not become like that because of the Holy Grail, things might not have turned out like this."

"Nothing."

Ian stroked Nero's cheek and comforted her gently.

"If it weren't for the Holy Grail, I wouldn't have had the chance to see you again."

"And Nero, don't forget that just apologizing won't solve the problem - prove yourself with your actions."

"...That's right!" The young emperor cheered up again.

"Then teacher, what should we do now?"

"Let's go to Viminale and have a look. Since that's where you came into contact with the Holy Grail, maybe you'll find something there."

"I'll help too." Boudica volunteered.

"Well, let's go together."

Two hours later, at Boudica's signal, the rescue team from Britannia began to move towards the lofty mountain.

This is a very difficult journey.

After all, Viminale is the steepest mountain in the Roman imperial capital.

but--

There were no complaints during the climb up the mountain.

It was a moment of great solidarity, even though no one actually knew the purpose of the journey.

The queen's goal is the goal of this group of warriors, and the spirit of Britannia is perfectly displayed in front of Nero at this moment.

Finally, at dusk, Ian, who was at the front of the team, finally reached the top of Viminale.

The scene before him was completely beyond the man's expectations.

There were no powerful monsters here, nor any dark shadows corroding the ground.

There was only a white-haired girl sitting on a rock on the top of the mountain, gazing into the distance.

Her dark platinum skin, illuminated by the setting sun, reflected a beauty that was completely different from that of ordinary people. Just looking at her, it seemed as if she could turn into the sunset.

A sword with a three-colored blade was stuck in the ground next to her, emitting a faint light like a trickle.

Hearing a noise behind her, she turned around and saw Ian.

There was a hint of unspeakable doubt in those extremely beautiful red eyes.

"Hmm? So... the emperor's troops are here as well?"

443. Is Ian a soldier of the First Emperor? / Attila lost in the singularity (4k)

The moment his eyes met the white-haired girl's, Ian felt an indescribable aura from her.

This is the feeling that emanates from the other person's body, straightforwardly.

The man was sure that if the girl wanted to, as long as she pulled the sword with three-color light out of the ground and exerted a little bit of strength, she would be able to completely disintegrate the hill called Viminale under her feet in an instant.

but--

Despite possessing such a terrifying deterrent power, what Ian encountered was a pair of somewhat confused eyes.

Now, she seems to have no idea what to do.

The man tried to figure out what the girl was saying at the moment, so he quickly responded.

"The Emperor—do you mean Nero?"

Hearing Ian's sudden words, Nero took a step forward cooperatively to explain that he was the "emperor" mentioned by the man.

however--

After the man responded like this, the white-haired girl looked Nero up and down, then shook her head.

"Do not."

"The emperor I was talking about privately was not her."

"Hmm?!" Now it was Nero's turn to be concerned. "If the emperor you are talking about is not Yu, then who else is the emperor?"

"Tell Yu quickly!"

"Nero, don't do this." Ian reached out and stopped the restless girl.

"Let me find out who she's talking about."

"..."

Although Nero was indeed very concerned about who the "emperor" mentioned by the white-haired girl in front of her was, she still nodded obediently in response to her teacher's words.

After all, she also knew that the problem she faced this time was not as simple as she had imagined.

"...I understand."

After temporarily calming Nero down, Ian once again began to communicate with the white-haired girl in front of him.

"understood."

"If it's not Nero, then who is the 'emperor' you are talking about?"

"..."

The white-haired girl did not answer Ian directly, but patted the empty space on the other side of the stone where she was sitting.

"Come over to me first."

"When you get here, I'll tell you the answer in private."

"..."

This is obviously an invitation that carries considerable risk.

After all, this white-haired girl who suddenly appeared exuded an indescribable aura all over her body, as if she could exert extremely terrifying destructive power as long as she moved her fingers slightly.

but--

Ian knew that now that he had come here, he had no way out.

Now that the Holy Grail has been obtained but the singularity still cannot be repaired, the girl who appeared in Viminale may be the only "key" to solve the problem.

Besides——

Even if you refuse, you may not be able to leave just like that.

The best way is to answer it first.

"I see." Ian looked at the white-haired girl, "I'll be over now."

According to this "agreement", the man approached the white-haired girl step by step, and finally sat beside her.

The light of dusk shone on the two of them, and for a moment Ian actually felt as if he was bathed in gold, an indescribable feeling.

However, the man had no intention of appreciating this beautiful scene at the moment.

He just wanted to find out immediately why this girl in white appeared in this place and the meaning behind it.

"Okay, I'll sit down as you requested."

"Now--"

"Isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?"

"Yeah." The white-haired girl nodded, and then explained what she had just said.

"The emperor I'm talking about is the one who created a shield that can resist the attack of my sword of the god of war. You have an aura similar to his."

"So I personally think that you are a soldier of the emperor. This should be reasonable, right?"

"..."

"Wait a moment." Ian stopped the white-haired girl's story. "If I'm not mistaken, the Sword of the God of War should refer to the blade next to you."

"But can you explain the matter about the emperor a little more clearly?"

"..."

The white-haired girl's expression didn't change at all, but her tone was mixed with a hint of doubt.

"How come you don't know him?"

“I’m very confused about this.”

But even so, the white-haired girl still responded to Ian's question.

"The First Emperor, that's the name I know personally - now you should know who that is, right?"

After hearing the further information given by the white-haired girl, a storm of memories quickly set off in Ian's head.

This is not the first time this name has been mentioned.
