In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"Yu is the teacher's real wife - even if I ask the teacher to go to bed right now, it's reasonable, right?"

"But speaking of which..." Nero poked his head out, "Teacher, what were you looking at just now?"

"The Holy Grail." Ian answered the question directly without hiding anything.

"Nero... do you remember where you encountered it?"

"Eh?"

When Ian asked this, Nero's eyes fell on the golden Holy Grail.

Her thoughts drifted back to the night when she realized that she had really lost her teacher and became extremely sad.

"hiss……"

In an instant, Nero felt as if his head was pierced by thousands of sharp needles and was in great pain.

This seemed to be a warning to her not to think about that kind of thing.

The girl gasped at this, and Ian became worried when he saw her like this.

"Can't remember? Then forget it... There's no need to torture yourself."

"No!" Nero bit his lips and looked more serious than before.

"I am the Emperor of Rome. I can do whatever I want to do—!"

"..."

After hearing this, Ian didn't say anything else - he knew Nero and knew that once she made up her mind, she would not change her mind no matter what.

She was like this in the past, and she is like this now.

But it is precisely because of this unruly character that she is the real Nero.

The girl took in breath after breath, seemingly struggling with some unspeakable pain.

But even so, she had no intention of giving up.

finally--

With beads of sweat on his forehead, Nero's face showed a victorious smile.

"Teacher, I remember now."

"I... encountered this thing called the Holy Grail on the highest mountain in Rome."

The Roman capital was built on an area surrounded by seven hills: Palatine, Capitoline, Esquiline, Viminal, Quirinale, Ceri, and Aventine, so it is also called the City of Seven Hills.

Among them, Viminale is the tallest one.

"Is it that kind of place?" Ian was a little surprised.

“It’s not an easy task to climb up there, right?”

"Indeed."

Nero put his hands behind his back and turned his face away, somewhat embarrassed.

"But at that time, I really wanted to see my teacher - so no matter how high the mountain was, I could climb it easily."

"Nero..."

"Alright, don't make that kind of expression in front of me. It makes me seem like I've become some bad person."

Nero looked at the Holy Grail and muttered to himself.

"But, teacher, why are you suddenly asking such a question?"

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

Ian briefly told Nero about Tamamonomae's concerns.

After hearing this, the latter immediately became nervous: "In that case! The damage I caused in Rome will never be repaired?!"

"Don't be in a hurry." The man stopped Nero from speaking.

"It's just a guess right now. We need to ask the people of Chaldea to help test it to see if it's true."

“…” Nero frowned slightly.

"Teacher, what exactly is Chaldea? I've heard you mention it several times."

"..."

When suddenly asked this question, Ian thought for a while, and then gave his answer with a smile.

"Perhaps, it should be a place to call home?"

"Family?"

"Well, a home worth protecting with all my heart. There are many people in it that I care about, so I must work hard to do something for it."

"Then why isn't Yu in there?!"

Nero leaned forward, with her proud, uncovered breasts pressed directly in front of Ian.

"Isn't Yu someone that the teacher cares about? Or... is that the place where the teacher hides people like Boudica?"

"Hmm?! Teacher, you really have a lot of women out there!"

"No, Nero, listen to me, things are not what you think!"

Before Ian could explain clearly, there was another noise coming from the bed next to him.

This time, it was Boudica who woke up.

As soon as the Queen of Britannia opened her eyes, she saw Ian and Nero entangled with each other.

Although she felt that her current identity was a little bit delicate, after hesitating for a moment, she still spoke:

"Um... Seneca, Nero, what are you doing?"

Still struggling with what his teacher had mentioned about Chaldea, Nero saw Boudica waking up and said something angrily:

"Yu is asking the teacher whether he likes the Yu who appeared last night more, or the you who appeared last night more."

"Really, really?"

Hearing this, Boudica looked at Ian, and there was a hint of cautious concern in her emerald green eyes, which she dared not express directly.

"Seneca, is it me or Nero..."

"No, Boudica, don't let Nero fool you!"

A few minutes later.

After listening to Ian's explanation, Boudica felt a little relieved.

"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.
