The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Seneca! You're here-!"

"Please, help me find His Majesty!!"

"I don't know where she went this early in the morning?!"

"..."

Just this one sentence made Ian's nerves tense.

He had thought that Nero might resist leaving the singularity, but he didn't expect her to play such a disappearing trick.

Obviously... we were talking nicely last night.

Boudica's reaction was even more intense than Ian's.

"No?! How could she disappear for no reason?! What was she doing?"

"I don't know..." Lokusta covered his head and shook it.

"It's precisely because I don't know where His Majesty has gone that I'm so anxious!"

"This……"

Boudica glanced at Ian, and the man's thoughtful expression made her realize something.

After a moment's hesitation, the Queen of Britannia spoke:

"That--"

"Let me help you find it."

"Really? Really?" Lokusta couldn't believe what he heard.

"Yes, it is true—I will have the warriors of Britannia take action shortly."

"Don't worry, Locusta." Boudica reached out and gently patted the little poisoner's shoulder, comforting her, "We will definitely find Nero."

"..."

"I see - I'll leave it to you then. I'll go look around now!"

"it is good."

While it is true that he was insane, it is equally true that Locusta was loyal to Nero.

She had long regarded the young Roman emperor as her supreme belief.

But as she watched Locusta's receding back, Boudica's mind was not on that at all.

The Queen of Britannia looked at the man beside her, and then asked worriedly:

"Seneca, you don't look right."

"Is there something I don't understand?"

"..."

Ian hesitated for a while, but decided to tell Boudica about the current situation - he felt that she had the right to know it all.

"Boudica, it's like this..."

"what?!"

Knowing that Chaldea would teleport Ian and the others back in a few hours, Boudica's emerald eyes couldn't help but show a little more worry.

But she was not worried about herself, but about Nero.

"So if Nero doesn't show up in the next few hours, doesn't that mean you'll have to separate before you even say goodbye?"

"..."

Knowing that Boudica was worried about his relationship with Nero, Ian smiled and then comforted her.

"It's okay. Even if we don't say goodbye... it doesn't matter."

"The relationship between Nero and I is not so weak."

Ian wasn't telling the whole truth.

For him, he really hoped to see Nero appear in front of him.

But compared to this, what the man cares about more is that Nero cannot accept this reality - if this is true, it will be the most difficult situation.

And if——

If not seeing each other for the last time can make Nero feel better, it is actually a good choice.

However, Boudica did not accept this.

"No! This is absolutely not allowed!"

The Queen of Britannia took Ian's hand, looking more concerned about the matter than the man did.

"If you're leaving in a few hours—"

"Why don't you say goodbye properly?"

"Do you know how painful it is to say something that you should have said but swallowed back in the end?"

"..."

Ian was silent.

If someone else had said this, he could have at least made some excuses, but now it was Boudica.

She is the one who has the most say on "regrets that cannot be expressed".

"Boudica, but if Nero himself doesn't want to see me..."

"Fool, how could she not want to see you!" Boudica said anxiously, "Have you forgotten why she became like that? It's because she couldn't see you!"

"..."

Ian's eyes widened slightly.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be thinking too rationally.

That’s right…How could Nero just watch me leave like that?

If that were the case, it wouldn't be her.

"Boudica, you're right—Nero can't possibly not want to see me."

"I'm going to find her!"

"Yes, that's right!" Boudica looked at the man who understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll go with you to look for her. Look carefully, through every street and alley in Rome. You'll definitely find her!"

"Well, please."

Ever since——

An operation to find Nero began under the organization of Boudica and Ian.

Those warriors from Britannia always obeyed the orders of their queen. Even when they heard that they were going to look for the Roman emperor, they responded without hesitation.

For a time, the streets of Rome were filled with voices calling for Nero.

Everyone here is waiting for the appearance of the young emperor.

however--

Although everyone involved in this action worked so hard, the result was not as good as expected.

Nero did not appear at this point.

The sun quietly climbed to the center of the sky, and the warm golden light illuminated the land of Rome, and even the buildings that were originally blackened by the flames seemed to be covered with a layer of light gauze.

Five hours and forty-three minutes. This is the only time left until BB's scheduled transmission.

In the chariot, Boudica, who had accompanied Ian in searching Rome for a whole morning, was already sweating profusely.

It was obvious that she sincerely wanted to find Nero for Ian, and it wasn't just lip service.

only--

Some things cannot be done just because you want to do them.

At least not the one about finding Nero.

"That's all I know."

Ian parked the chariot blessed by the goddess in a shady place. He reached out his hand and wiped the sweat from Boudica's forehead with concern.

"You're so tired."

"It's okay!" Boudica looked at Ian, her eyes still anxious, "I'm not tired at all - Seneca, let's look for it again!"

"Looking? Where to look?"

Ian's hand gently stroked Boudica's hair, which symbolized passion, and his voice gently comforted her.

"We have searched all over Rome, and we still can't see Nero."

"In that case——"

"Do you think you can really see her if you keep looking like this?"

"..."

Boudica turned away.

As the queen of Britannia, she understood everything Ian said.

After all, she also knew that given Nero's personality, it would be absolutely impossible for him to hide in the face of so many people calling him.

This emperor was a natural artist who admired gorgeous performances and grand appearances.

How could she not show up at this much-anticipated moment?

"But... you can't just not look for it like this, right?"

Boudica took the man's hand.

“That’s the person you care about.”

"But you are also someone I care about." Ian picked up Boudica and gently hugged her waist. "I can't bear to hurt another person I care about because of someone I care about."

Hearing this, Boudica felt even more complicated.

She really wanted to be in his arms, but she didn't want it at this time.

"Seneca, this can't be... Let's look for it again? Maybe there's something we missed."

"If Nero misses the last meeting because of this, wouldn't that be too pitiful?"

In response to Boudica's words, Ian suddenly asked a question.

"Boudica—"

"Are you feeling guilty? Do you think you shouldn't be hugged by me when Nero is not around?"

"Eh?"

Knowing that she could not hide her thoughts from Ian, Boudica directly admitted it all.

"um, yes."

"Seneca, I... do think so."

"If that's the case—" Ian looked down at her in his arms, and then smiled warmly.

"I think you don't have to worry."

"Don't worry anymore?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "Trust me, we will definitely meet."

"..."

Boudica looked at the man for a long time, and only felt relieved after she was sure that he was not deliberately comforting her.

"I see—so when will she show up?"

"Hard to say."

Ian looked at the sun in the sky, his eyes already showing some wisdom as if he had guessed the truth of the matter.
