"No." Ian shook his head.
"Attila, I have a way to show you what Rome was like in the past—I guarantee it on my character."
"..."
Atila's eyes wandered over Ian, as if she was hesitating whether to believe him.
Finally, she made some kind of decision, as if giving in.
The white-haired girl pulled out her Sword of the God of War from the ground beside her, and then pointed the blade with three-color light at Ian's throat.
"If you are so confident--"
"Then use your life as a guarantee. If you can't give me a satisfactory sight, I will take your life."
"..."
To be fair, Attila's remarks were quite threatening, and the tri-colored sword in her hand also did not seem to be just for show.
Feeling the magic power overflowing from it, Ian couldn't help but feel a little worried.
but--
The man knew that he absolutely could not show any hesitation at this time.
He just nodded and answered Attila, "No problem, I promise you."
"..."
The white-haired girl retracted her sword and then asked the second question.
"That--"
"Are we leaving now?"
"No." Ian shook his head again, "We're leaving tomorrow."
"Before that, have a good night's rest."
"..."
Attila nodded expressionlessly.
"Privately understand."
As time passed, as Attila was persuaded by Ian, the volunteers from Britannia had to temporarily settle down on the top of Viminale.
The white-haired girl who appeared here because of the will to destroy held her tricolor sword in her hand, looking up at the moon above her head, her eyes filled with some indescribable emotions.
It was a slightly melancholy scene, and anyone who saw it would probably feel a hint of sadness.
but--
This is a perfect opportunity for Ian.
He gathered all the girls who participated in this operation, and started discussing tomorrow's plan to visit Rome around a campfire.
"so--"
Mashu, who had a large shield lying beside him, was the first to speak.
"Is that girl named Atira the reason why this singularity cannot be repaired now?"
"Yes." Ian nodded, confirming this statement.
"She was summoned by Leif to destroy Roman civilization, but this goal is no longer achievable."
"Because the goal of the action has completely disappeared, are you in a state of confusion?"
Tamamonomae hugged her legs, looking quite emotional.
"I understand this feeling."
"..."
Knowing that Tamamonomae was recalling her five lives before coming to Chaldea, Ian silently stroked her head to comfort her sad heart.
Nero also saw this scene.
The jealous young emperor came directly to her teacher, then lay on his lap, and spoke as if vying for favor;
"That--"
"Isn't this Yu's enemy? According to common sense, we should eliminate her, right?"
"I can't accept the destruction of Roman civilization at all!"
"Nero, I can't accept it either." Ian looked at the girl with puffy cheeks on his thigh, "But compared to a battle that might put everyone in danger, I would rather solve this problem peacefully."
"After all, the other party doesn't look like the kind of enemy that can be easily eliminated, right?"
"..."
This is true.
Although he had never come into direct contact with Attila, Nero could indeed sense that the other party was not simple - especially the tricolor sword.
Although he did not think he had no chance of winning, Nero knew that if the situation could be resolved peacefully, it would not be something to be disgusted with.
"that--"
After listening to everything, Boudica spoke cautiously:
"I don't want to spoil your fun, but Roman civilization is completely gone now, right?"
"If we take Atira with us like this, won't she think we're lying and get even angrier?"
Boudica is still very good at grasping the crux of the problem.
With just this one sentence, she made all the girls present focus their attention on Ian again, waiting for the answer to this question together.
But the man was not panicked. It was obvious that he had thought of everything already.
"Boudica, you are right."
"If we do nothing and just take Attila into the city, it will definitely not work."
"so--"
"We must temporarily 'restore' the city to a level sufficient for a visit."
"what do you mean?"
Jing Ke, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Are you going to rebuild Rome? How can you possibly be in time for that?"
"Of course that can't be the case."
As Ian spoke, he looked at the bonfire in front of everyone, and then silently gathered magic power.
A loud bang.
A second bonfire appeared there.
"..."
Everyone was silent, but there was some surprise on their faces, especially Jing Ke, who was witnessing such a thing for the first time.
Ian didn't let them worry for too long and quickly explained:
"Everyone, as you can see, I have some ability to project some of the 'past'. With it, we can temporarily restore everything Attila saw to the way Rome used to be."
"But this alone is not enough, right?" Tamamonomae realized the new problem quickly. "If we only restore the buildings, then what Attila will see is just an empty city."
"I... don't think this will satisfy her concept of a 'civilization worth preserving'."
Tamamonomae's words also make sense.
If there are only buildings but no people, it is not called civilization, it should be called ruins.
If Attila regarded such things as "civilization" itself, she would not be so confused now.
After all, if they were just ruins, there would be quite a lot of them now.
"Xiaoyu, you are really smart."
Ian gently stroked Tamamonomae's soft hair.
"That's right. Building alone won't do the trick. So, Xiaoyu, I need your help."
"If I remember correctly, your mirror can communicate with the dead, so I would like you to revive their souls and let them temporarily appear in the streets of Rome in the form of 'humans'."
"If this is the case, then it can be called 'civilization'."
Ian's words once again plunged everyone into unprecedented shock.
After all, if you think about it carefully, all of this is actually a "scam" - restoring Rome's former glory through the projection of memory, and then letting the dead liven up the atmosphere in this "resurrected" city.
But facing the current situation, it seems to be the only solution.
As for Tamamonomae, besides being shocked, there was another thing she had to pay attention to.
"Master."
"My mirror does have that effect, but if I activate so many souls at once, it will consume a lot of magic power."
"And if I understand correctly, you want to maintain the city of Rome while maintaining this huge consumption of magic power, right?"
"Master..."
Tamamonomae looked up at the man she was leaning against, her eyes filled with worry.
"Can your body handle it?"
"..."
Facing the worried looks from several girls at the same time because of his words, Ian just smiled calmly.
"What are you worried about - am I the kind of person who would fall down if the wind blew?"
"Don't worry, I know what to do. Just follow my instructions."
A man's promise is always full of security.
Boudica was the first to respond: "Okay, I see - so if that's the case, what should we all do?"
"Yes!"
Nero, who was lying on Ian's lap, pulled at his teacher's clothes.
"Tell me quickly! I want to do something too!"
"Yeah." Ian nodded, "I'll start making arrangements now."
The man first looked at Tamamonomae and Mashu who was sitting next to her:
"Xiaoyu, Mashu, as for you, just continue to arrange the mirrors as before and do what I just said, okay?"
"Of course." Tamamonomae smiled slightly, and then took Mash's hand.
"I am very happy to do this with little Mashu."
"Me too!" Mashu nodded repeatedly, "I am willing to help you together with Miss Xiaoyu!"
"That's good."
After Ian said this, he looked at Nero in his arms and Boudica who was intentionally sitting a little further away.
"Boudica, this time I'll need your chariot as a means of transportation for the tour."
"As for Nero, I'll have to rely on you to explain the meaning of some of these buildings to Attila - I don't quite understand your thoughts when you built them."
"No problem!" Boudica responded without hesitation.
Nero puffed out his chest proudly and said, "Don't worry, I will explain to her those buildings that symbolize the honor of Rome!"
"what about me?"
Jing Ke asked with some guilt.
"They all have things to do, but I don't?"
"Of course you have too..." Ian looked at Jing Ke who volunteered, "But I don't know whether you want to go to Xiaoyu's place to help, or just come to my place to help."
"..."
Knowing that Ian was giving up his right to choose, Jing Ke quickly gave his response.
