My XX deal with Sister Nero

“Yes, that’s very Roman.”

I was thinking, is it better for me to post one or two?... No one will read it anyway, so I'll just post one.

Chapter 5 Come and live in my house

Last night, or rather the whole of yesterday, Tony always thought that he had traveled to the Roman Empire in history. However, he didn't expect that this world line of his was poisonous, and he came to a seemingly real Roman Empire!

Or it could be said that they came to the Roman Empire ruled by Red Saber in the Type-Moon worldview.

If this is a game, then it's fun to play.

Although Tony was not very familiar with the history of the Roman Empire, he knew that there were too many barbarians around the Roman Empire, as well as other powerful kingdoms or empires, and there were constant wars on the borders. Tony originally thought that he would join the army and slowly make a fortune, but now he suddenly learned that Nero was a woman... Hey! It seems like he has a new life goal! For example, hooking up with Nero or something!

"Huh? What's wrong with you?" Antonio asked nervously when he saw Tony standing at the door and reluctant to go in.

He was now afraid that Tony would see through his wishful thinking and scare him away. Although he knew that it was impossible for him to be seen through, he was still a little scared because he had done something wrong after all.

"Ah...it's okay." Hearing Antonio's voice, Tony came back to his senses and realized that his thoughts seemed to be jumping too much.

Seeing that Tony was just distracted, Antonio felt relieved. He shouted to the kitchen, "Sevilla, Sevilla, make an extra portion for breakfast today."

The kitchen door curtain was opened, and a woman in her thirties poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Are there any guests at home?"

Antonio pushed Tony to the front and said, "Yes! From now on, Tony will live in our house!"

Tony? Isn't this the little homeless ghost who came to my house before? Why is he living in my house now?

Although she didn't know why her husband wanted to take in such a stray kid, Sylvia didn't say much. She just nodded and said, "Then I'll make an extra breakfast."

Antonio nodded, pulled a stool over from the side, and said to Tony, "Come on, come on, sit down."

Antonio glanced around and asked, "Where's Tita? Hasn't Tita gotten up yet?"

In the kitchen, Sylvia replied, "It's only been a short while since dawn, so Tita is naturally not up yet."

Antonio frowned and said, "Go wake her up, I'll cook."

As he spoke, Antonio walked straight to the kitchen without caring whether Silvia agreed or not.

Antonio was very happy today because he had completed the first step, bringing Tony home. He believed that it would not take long for this kid to be convinced and become his son!

Sylvia went to the next room to wake up her daughter, Antonio was preparing breakfast for the day in the kitchen, and Tony, who was so idle that he was almost bored, sat in the living room and began to think about his life.

It has now been confirmed that the year in which he lives is 53 AD, the penultimate year of Claudius' reign. At this time, Britain has been conquered, but it will not be long before Britain will launch a major rebellion.

At present, there are barbarians such as the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Gauls on the borders of the empire. This is the early days of the Roman Empire, an era of prosperity. It is estimated that in this era, except for the Eastern Han Dynasty on the other side of the earth, no country or nation can destroy the Roman Empire.

But what’s interesting now is that I didn’t expect that the Nero here might be the same Nero as Red Saber. In this way, this world may not necessarily develop in the direction that I am familiar with.

Of course, I am not very familiar with the historical Roman Empire.

"Hello." Just as Tony was daydreaming, a timid voice suddenly came from beside him.

There was no need to look back, just by listening to the voice, you could tell that the person coming was Antonio's daughter Tita.

According to Tony's past memories, Tita was a complete soft girl. Of course, in this era, most girls were soft girls.

In this age of male superiority and female inferiority, except for a few female heroes, few women have a very low status in the family.

"Hello." Tony quickly stood up and turned to greet Tita.

Tita smiled at him and said, "Welcome to my home."

For some reason, Tony always felt that the conversation between him and Tita was a little dry. Of course, this might be because both parties were a little reserved. After all, he went to a stranger's house as a guest and might even stay in his house for a long time, which made everyone shy and reserved.

"From now on, this kid will live in our house. By the way, kid, what's your full name and how old are you?" Just when Tony was feeling a little embarrassed, the kitchen curtain was lifted, and Antonio came out with a plate of white pancakes, put it on the table and asked.

"My name is Tony. As for my last name... I don't have a last name, right? Well, I'm twelve years old." Tony replied.

"Oh, twelve years old..." Antonio touched his chin, then looked at his daughter and said, "Tita is thirteen years old this year. You two will be siblings from now on. Tita, you have to take good care of your brother, okay?"

What? Brother?

Tony was already confused at this time. What was going on? Why did he feel like he was being betrayed?

Not to mention Tony, even Tita was stunned for a moment, not knowing what her father was planning.

Seeing that Tony and Tita both looked a little strange, Antonio naturally knew that he had said something wrong, or had missed something, so he quickly said, "Tony has been wandering outside for many years, and he is pitiful for being without a father or a mother. Why don't you just stay here?"

Hmm? Tony raised his eyebrows and asked uncertainly, "Uncle...what does this mean?"

"Ah... it's nothing. I just think that you are still young and shouldn't wander around like this. Although my family is not rich, at least we can support you. Don't think too much. Just live here with me." Antonio patted Tony's shoulder and laughed.

Although he felt something was wrong, Tony didn't want to wander around, so he agreed.

Antonio was so happy to see Tony agreed that he even took a sip of beer in the morning.

This was Tony's first time eating something from this era. How should I put it? This baked wheat bread didn't taste very good, but it was still edible. In Tony's opinion, the taste of this baked bread should be not much different from bread, but now it tastes a little different. There is only one reason for this, that is, something went wrong when Antonio was making the bread...

Well that's not the point.

After drinking a glass of milk and eating a piece of bread, Tony officially moved into Antonio's house.

Because Antonio had no slaves in his house, Antonio and his wife had to go to the fields to work after breakfast.

Before leaving, Antonio specifically told Tita to wash the dishes and take good care of his younger brother.

After Antonio and Sylvia left, Tony quickly cleaned the table and said, "Sister Tita, let me help you clean up."

The reason why Tony did this was not because he loved labor and was a qualified successor to communism... Oh, there was no communism in this era.

The reason he did this was simply that he didn't want to see this cute girl with beautiful long golden hair working hard.

How about... three updates today? Anyway, this is the first update [funny]

Chapter 6 The Specious Roman Empire

In Tita's opinion, Tony was a guest, so how could she let him work? But no matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't convince Tony, so she had no choice but to agree.

However, Tita's impression of Tony has changed a lot.

At the beginning, although she felt some sympathy for Tony's situation, it was just sympathy. Although she didn't know why her father let this kid live in, Tita was still somewhat unhappy about the sudden and inexplicable presence of another person living in the house.

But now Tony was eager to help wash the dishes, which somewhat changed Tita's impression of Tony.

This was the first time Tony settled down in this world, and it was also the first time he truly experienced the customs and practices of this world.

Antonio's family are second-class citizens of the empire.

In the Roman Empire, citizens were divided into three classes.

The first class was first-class citizens, who were mainly pure-blooded Romans who had the right to vote and could directly participate in the political affairs of the Roman Empire. The second class of citizens were the original inhabitants of the lands after the Roman Empire conquered them.

For example, Antonio, although he has a Roman name, his ancestry is actually Macedonian. In other words, he is actually a real Macedonian.

As for the third category, they are slaves who have no human rights at all.

The town where Tony is currently located is located in the Macedonia province of the Roman Empire. The name of the town is Creekwood Town. Yes, it is the Creekwood Town in Skyrim. Of course, these two Creekwood Towns are not similar in any other way except their names.

There are not many people in this town, only about seventy or eighty households, which adds up to about three hundred people. At that time, it was considered a big town.

After all, the land in Macedonia is fertile and suitable for human habitation and farming. Although such large towns are rare, they do exist.

Tony didn't play much in the morning, but helped Tita make the bed.

Yes, it’s the bed I’m going to sleep on in the future.

The beds of this era were naturally not as comfortable as the beds of the era we lived in originally. They were wooden beds with straw on top, and on top of that were linen sheets and wool quilts.

After making her own bed, Tita started to prepare lunch for them.

That's right, Antonio and his wife will not come to eat at noon.

The lunch was simple, with bread mixed with meat sauce, the meat was beef, and Tita also grilled a fish specially for Tony.

The fish was not big, about one and a half pounds, enough for Tony to eat alone.

As a gentleman who loves Loli, Tony naturally chose to eat fish with Tita in the end.

After finishing lunch and cleaning up, Tony began to feel a little bored.

Although he had a great plan to win over Nero, the problem was that if nothing unexpected happened, Nero should be in Rome now, while he himself was in the province of Macedonia, which was too far away.

In the end, Tony decided to take a back seat and get to know the situation in this small town first.

Strictly speaking, Ximu Town is just a town, not a city, so the defensive wall is just a circle of dilapidated loess walls less than three meters high, and the garrison force is just a team of a hundred men.

Based on what I learned from playing games before, although the Roman Empire's century nominally had a hundred people, the actual number of people in a century was actually sixty to eighty. Because this town was not located in a border area and there was no war all year round, the century stationed here only maintained a minimum of sixty people.

But there is a problem.

Marian Reforms.

Even though he had never played the game, Tony had learned about the Marian Reforms in history class.

During the Republican period, the Roman Republic implemented a conscription system. In other words, males over the age of seventeen were obliged to perform military service, but they had to bring their own equipment. This led to the distinction between young and middle-aged soldiers due to differences in equipment. However, after the Marius Reforms, the army of the Roman Empire began to professionalize, and a unified number standard was set for the army.

For example, before the reform, the most basic unit of the Roman Legion was the century, which generally consisted of sixty to eighty people. The number of people was not completely unified, but only "roughly unified". After Marius' reform, the basic unit of the army was the platoon, and the number of people in a platoon was fixed at eighty.

It is quite interesting that the garrison of Ximu Town consists of a hundred-man team instead of a platoon.

Tony moved a small stool and sat at the door of the room, admiring the afternoon sunlight while constantly thinking about the world in his mind.

Things are getting more interesting.

Marian Reform, although Tony has forgotten the exact time, but he remembers that it happened in the first century BC. In other words, it has been almost a hundred years since the present time. If you say that the Marian Reform has just begun, then Tony can understand that the border provinces have not received the reform order from above and do not know that the army has begun the reform. But it has been a hundred years, how could they not know?

So the only explanation is that for some reason the Marian reforms were delayed or did not happen!

Combined with the information we knew before, the future Roman Emperor Nero was actually a girl. This world is becoming more and more interesting.

"What fun can this seemingly Roman Empire bring to me?" Tony muttered to himself as he sat at the door.

"Why don't you go out and play?" Just as Tony was talking to himself, Tita suddenly appeared beside him and asked.

"Ah... I'm just not used to playing with others..." Tony coughed lightly, pretending to have a timid expression like a child, and looked up at his cheap sister.

During lunch, Tony asked about Tita's exact date of birth and learned the sad fact that he was actually half a year younger than her...

So now, twelve-year-old Tony had made a very serious discovery.

As a lolita-con and sister-con, Dita, who has a pretty good appearance, just happens to be suitable for both...

But Tita was still pretty nice to him, at least she didn't let him wash the dishes after lunch...

"Are you not used to it?" Tita pretended to be a little adult, and gently stroked Tony's head with some understanding, saying, "Good boy, now you don't have to live the life of worrying about the next meal and not knowing where to eat anymore."

"..."You know how embarrassing it is to be killed by a little lolita by patting your head!

What's even more embarrassing is that you have to keep it to yourself in order to pretend to be a little boy!

So what’s more embarrassing than having a mature woman’s heart and a loli’s body is having an uncle’s heart and a shota’s body, right?

Well, none of that matters.

Now, having traveled to such a seemingly real Roman Empire, Tony believes that many things are waiting for him!

Isn't that how it's written in novels? A person travels to another world and flies up to the sky and stands shoulder to shoulder with the sun, learns some incantation and magic, and becomes a dragon.

Tony believes that he must have superpowers or something now!

Well, that’s not the point for now.

In short, after staying at the door for an afternoon, as the sun was setting, Antonio and his wife, who had gone out to work, finally came back.

"How is it, kid? Did Tita bully you?" Uncle Antonio asked excitedly as soon as he came back and put away the farm tools.

"No, no." Tony shook his head vigorously.

"That's good." Antonio nodded and said, "Tita, is the meal ready? I want to tell you something later."

Come on, let's have a little fun~ Starting tomorrow, the update will be fixed to two chapters, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Then, the number of collections is now 34. From today, for every 10 collections, one chapter will be added. The number of recommendation tickets is now 11. For every 0 more, one chapter will be added. The number of monthly tickets is 1. For every 500 more, one chapter will be added. If you want to reward... will be added for one chapter~ Well, until next Wednesday [funny]

There will be another update later, that's it~

Chapter 7: Emergency on the Border

Although she didn't know what her father was going to talk about, Tita could tell from her father's expression that what his father was going to talk about at the dinner table must be a big deal!

Soon, Tita brought today's dinner.

It was similar to the lunch dish, a flatbread with beef sauce, a small fish, and a small piece of pork chop.
