"What do you mean—what error of judgement did I make?"
"Oh... my self-introduction just now seemed a little crude." Rafe took back the baked hat and put it on his head again.
"I am Leif Lenore Flauros, a man from the future."
"In my time, the Roman Empire no longer existed."
"..."
Ian's eyes flickered, but he quickly calmed down.
"Although it may not be fair to Your Majesty to say this, isn't it natural for dynasties to change? Even Rome... must accept this reality."
"As long as I have made Rome a step further during my tenure, that is enough."
Snapped--
Snapped--
Leif clapped his hands, and there was a hint of praise in his tone.
"Great!"
"As expected of a wise man of this era, your perspective on things is much broader than that of ordinary people."
"but--"
Leif changed the subject.
"If I say that Nero of later generations has become a person despised by history, what would you think as a teacher?"
Boom——
A bolt of lightning fell.
The reflected white light made Ian's eyes the color of snow, and also made the shock hidden in them appear vividly.
The man didn't care about what his reputation would be like, but he didn't want his student Nero to suffer any injustice.
He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How could Nero... be spurned by history?"
"..."
There was an imperceptible sly gleam in Leif's eyes.
He adjusted his hat and quickly responded again:
"Whether you believe it or not, at least in the era I lived in, the name Nero already symbolized brutality and tyranny."
"You are lying to me. You are not from the future. Nero is now the emperor supported by the Roman people. How could she become that kind of person?"
Ian's voice was firm and serious, and it was obvious that he totally disagreed with what the man named Rafe said.
But the other party seemed to have anticipated this and continued:
"I know you can't accept this fact. After all, Nero is your student. It's really embarrassing for a wise man like you to teach a tyrant."
"But..." Leif looked at Ian and continued to state his reasons slowly, "All of this is an established fact, and it has long been shown to everyone in human history.
"This also includes your relationship with Nero as a lover."
"Seneca the Sage, am I right?"
"..."
This is extremely strong evidence.
[In the entire city of Rome, the only person who understands your relationship with Nero is Agrippina.]
[If he could get this level of information from Agrippina, he would not be able to talk to me about these things so calmly.]
【So--】
【There is only one answer that can explain this series of questions. 】
[That is the man in front of you who claims to be Leif. He is indeed from the distant future.]
"..."
Ian found it hard to face this fact.
Nero...how did he become a despised tyrant?
I never taught her to be such a person!
"What on earth happened?!" Ian asked anxiously, "Why did she become like this?!"
Facing Ian's questioning, Rafe was not in a hurry, but seemed somewhat relaxed.
"Seneca the Sage, it doesn't matter what happened - it's your willingness to change it, isn't it?"
"..."
"Can you let me do this?" Ian couldn't believe what he heard.
"It's not that I can do this." Leif said as he placed the golden cup in front of the two of them, "It can."
"what is this?"
"Holy Grail."
"A magical wishing machine that can fulfill wishes - if it exists, it is not impossible to change Nero's future as a tyrant."
"How about it?" Leif looked at Ian while holding the Holy Grail, and his tone was a little more negotiating. "Do you want to try it?"
"..."
Ian was not the kind of person who could be easily bewitched, so he calmed down at this time.
"Rafe, why are you doing this for me?"
"It's--it's not at all good for you, is it?"
"Hey, stop." Leif interrupted Ian, "I'm not the kind of person who gives for free. Helping you achieve this kind of thing will benefit me a lot."
"But... those are things that are difficult for you to understand, so I won't go into details."
"So this is an exchange of benefits? But I didn't give anything away, right?" Ian continued to remain vigilant.
"No no no."
Rafe wagged his finger.
"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."
