I really didn't want to burn it.

PS1: Well, it wasn't mentioned in the text, but the goddess of flowers is weaker than the Greek goddess.

The reason is similar to that of Li Ang: the Greek Age of Gods has ended, and Earth lacks sufficient Mana, resulting in a weakened strength.

PS2: The plot about a large number of Servants becoming Alt was inspired by a set of pictures of various Servants being Alt-ified online.

The one that really touched Mimi the most was the Alt picture of the female student above.

However, while writing the outline, I found that the junior's darker complexion was too difficult to depict, so I gave up on it. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

But Alt's design is really amazing! (??????)??

Especially that slightly yandere look in her eyes, Mi-chan felt so good being looked at like that~ (ノω。)

PS3: Tonight, Mimi-chan will be keeping vigil all night, then tomorrow morning is the memorial service, followed by the burial...

Once the whole process is finished, Mimi-chan probably won't be able to go to sleep until tomorrow afternoon.

In short, tomorrow's update will be very difficult.

Although Mi-chan will write part of it during the vigil, with her brain still working all night... Mi-chan estimates that she'll have to revise it a lot after finishing it.

So... if Mi-chan doesn't update before midnight tomorrow, it means Mi-chan has died in her battle with sleep.

I'll update again the day after tomorrow..._(:з」∠)_

Chapter 108 Li Ang wouldn't do anything that involved people whatsoever. (Part 2)

"Mashu? You're awake?"

Mashu then noticed Ritsuka lying by her bedside.

"senior?"

"You're awake! That's wonderful!"

After confirming that she wasn't dreaming, Ritsuka excitedly hugged Mash.

"senior……"

Mashu felt her body being enveloped in gentle arms.

"How touching!"

Merlin wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and sighed with a look of relief.

"Mash-chan, Fujimaru has always been there to take care of you. The bond between you two is truly touching~?"

"Huh?! No...no, it's not what you think, Mr. Merlin! My relationship with you, Senpai, is not like that!"

Mashu shook her head in a panic, denying it. Then she lowered her head further and further, her long bangs unable to hide the bright redness on her face.

"Hmph~?"

Merlin gave me a knowing, maternal smile.

This made the little eggplant even more shy; her cheeks were so red they could boil an egg.

Merlin longed to reach out his hands and truly feel the almost scalding temperature.

however……

"Fufu!"

Fou jumped onto Mashu's lap and grinned at the white-haired online scammer.

"Tch, you damned beast, you're truly ungrateful!"

Merlin reluctantly withdrew his hand from Mash, preparing to turn his attention to Fou instead.

"Meow~"

A black cat followed Fufu onto the bed and scratched Merlin without hesitation.

"You and your owner are such a pair, so possessive of your food!"

Merlin rubbed his scratched hands.

Even though I didn't scratch it until it bled, it still hurts a lot!

"Meow~"

Phil wagged his tail proudly.

Then the two little guys took up Mashu's shoulders, one on each side, like two guardian deities.

"Alright, now that Mashu-chan is awake, let's go~?"

Merlin stood up from his chair as he spoke.

"where to?"

Mash, who was stroking Ritsuka's head, asked in confusion.

"Of course, it's the last glimmer of hope for humanity~?"

Merlin winked playfully; her practiced and fluid movements clearly showed she was a seasoned online con artist who could easily seduce innocent young men.

at the same time.

"Ah."

In Chaldea, Romani Archiman, sitting in front of his computer, sneezed loudly.

"Have a cold?"

Miss Da Vinci, the humanoid coffee machine in the control room, casually asked a question while serving coffee to Romani.

"No……"

Romani shook his head wearily.

Did I receive any good news when I left?

Leonardo da Vinci slowly sipped his coffee.

“Mash is awake,” Romani replied. “Merlin is explaining the situation to her.”

“This is a good thing,” Leonardo da Vinci said with a relieved smile. “At least one problem has been solved.”

"But there are still many more problems."

With a solemn expression, Romani stared at the map of Europe displayed on the electronic screen—the part of Rome had been completely marked in black.

Romulus did not stop there after launching his raid on the Colosseum in Rome.

Using the extremely corrosive power of the black mud, this guy assimilated the entire population of Rome into what he considered to be "Romans".

M78 Nebula 756365104

Being naked was not enough for Romulus; after conquering Rome, he began to launch attacks on the entire Roman territory from there.

Faced with the seemingly intractable black mud, the Roman Empire was utterly unable to cope, and its entire territory fell within just three months.

During this period, the Chaldeans, Britain, and Nero who had fled the arena did put up resistance against Romulus.

However, they had absolutely no way to deal with that bug-like black mud.

Ultimately, only a portion of the Roman army near the west and a small number of Roman citizens were taken to Gaul by Nero before they were corrupted and turned to the dark side.

Numerically speaking, Nero and his team's achievements were indeed impressive, but compared to the entirety of Rome, they were just a drop in the ocean.

It can be said that the first round of battle between Chaldea and Romulus ended in a complete defeat.

Ultimately, Romulus's Black Tide advanced all the way to Gaul before being stopped.

Chloris constructed a physical border wall using plants, while Merlin applied defensive and purifying magic to this wall.

Fortunately, the Gaul region of this singularity is part of Britain, and the Age of Gods has not completely ended, giving Chloris a stage to fully exercise her powers.

It was also thanks to Romulus's initial lack of focus on westward expansion that Merlin and Chloris had time to build a defensive line.

Even with such favorable conditions, the city wall still exhausted the two of them.

Merlin, in particular, casting such a large-scale defensive spell is a double nightmare for the caster, both physically and mentally.

Not to mention Merlin, who was born to slack off.

However, Merlin was unusual this time and didn't dare to utter a single complaint.

Because Chloris's mood was so terrible, if Merlin dared to make a similar sound, he would be hung up and beaten by the plants.

Because of the unauthorized actions of a certain man, Chloris is like the Balkans before World War I—a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

If anyone in the team could be in a worse mood than Chloris, it would be Nero.

Losing all of his territory and the vast majority of his people earned Nero the title of the most tragic Roman emperor.

Although everyone could see that the fault did not lie with him, the arrogant Nero couldn't help but have his mentality collapse.

Thankfully, the human body doesn't actually swell up when angry, otherwise Nero would definitely be furious.

But the Knights of the Round Table, led by Artoria, felt that this annoying emperor was worse than having his breasts explode and ascend to heaven.

Because Nero was very anxious about the situation throughout Rome, he proposed very radical counter-offensive strategies more than once, which led to a heated argument with the British.

Just now, Mash had just stepped into the command center, which Merlin called the last glimmer of humanity, when she heard Nero's roar.

"That's enough!"

Nero roared and slammed his hand on the table in front of him.

This movement caused her breasts to sway up and down with the force of an earthquake, revealing their turbulent waves.

"My country is facing unprecedented suffering! How can you expect me to remain calm?!"

"If you can't, then you have to hold it in!"

Standing opposite Nero, Artoria was not to be outdone. She slammed her fist on the table, performing a "landslide" that was in no way inferior to Nero's.

"You should know very well that this is no longer just a matter for Rome, but concerns the future of all humanity! I'm not Leon, I won't tolerate your behavior! Don't try to be willful!"

The huge command room was completely silent, with both Romans and Britons focused on the two furious leaders.

Artoria's anger did not frighten Nero; on the contrary, it seemed to have hit rock bottom and caused him to rebound.

Nero raised his voice again: "I'm not just acting recklessly! If you've read my battle plan, you should know that it's highly feasible!"

“Of course I’ve seen it.” Artoria raised her eyebrows. “If you’re referring to that battle plan that’s barely better than a suicidal charge… yes, I’ve seen it.”

"You white dairy cow!"

In his extreme anger, Nero's magic went slightly out of control. Various items on the table, including parchment and quills, were swept to the ground by an invisible force.

Now, everyone else in the room was even more afraid to make a sound, lest they offend Nero and get a beating—except for Chloris.

"Alright, Nero."

Chloris gently stroked Nero's head, as if soothing a cat with its fur standing on end.

"But, Lady Flora..."

Chloris interrupted her directly, saying, "I told you, don't call me by that name!"

With Chloris's interruption, the tension in the room eased slightly.

"Alright, let's continue with the topic we were discussing earlier."

Chloris used vines to put the things that had fallen on the ground back on the table, and then spread out a piece of parchment to announce.

Standing at the doorway, Mashu, who witnessed everything, gaped in disbelief. She never imagined that the Roman Emperor and the King of Britain would have such a childish argument.

Merlin and Ritsuka, standing beside her, remained completely unmoved; they had witnessed countless similar scenes in the past three months.

"Mr. Merlin, what is this?"

"Don't worry about them, they're just doing their daily arguing quest~?" Merlin explained nonsensically. "Alright, let's go in."

"Everyone, I have great news! Xiu-chan is awake!?"

Merlin gave Mashu a shove from behind with a grin.
