Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"If you like me so much, I have a flower girl position for you."

Despite the noise, the welcome party was still held. Jiang You provided quite a lot of fresh ingredients, which made the employees of Chaldea, who could only rely on Gudako and Matthew to go hunting in some small singularities besides frozen food, very excited. Except for those who had to stay at their posts, almost everyone crowded towards the cafeteria. The cafeteria in Chaldea had never been so crowded.

The people sitting at the largest dining table are all core employees of Chaldea. In fact, to be specific, almost all of them are servants, with only Gudako and Roman being counted as one and a half.

Only then did Nero have the opportunity to look at Jiang You carefully.

"In other words, the way the Divine Ancestor summoned me is the effect of your Noble Phantasm?"

Nero came to Jiang You holding her wine glass. She even changed into a rose-colored evening dress for the welcome party, which matched with black decorations, like a rose blooming in the night.

"it's me."

Although Jiang You had never witnessed the duel between Romulus and the "Beast", it was natural for Romulus to have Nero and other Roman emperors.

"Then I must thank you very much."

Nero's face was filled with smiles. Jiang You's Noble Phantasm had given her the opportunity to meet the Divine Ancestor, and even to meet her ancestors and her uncle. This was a rare opportunity for a Heroic Spirit. She patted her chest again and said, "You can ask for anything. As long as I can do it, I can satisfy you!"

Chapter 400: Is this a serious game?

"Then give yourself to me."

To be honest, Jiang You did have some other thoughts when he said this, because Nero's current outfit was too eye-catching.

"Is this the reward?"

Nero swirled the red wine in her glass, her eyes meeting Jiang You's. Jiang You couldn't read any specific emotions from her eyes, but he could only confirm that she wasn't angry or shy. "I thought you would have more interesting requests. The Lord God has a very good opinion of you..."

"Feel sorry."

Jiang You also felt that he was a little embarrassed. The people he had said this to before had some good impression of him, but it was indeed the first time he had officially met Nero (they had not communicated much during the doubles game). However, this sentence actually had another meaning, and it was not considered as an excuse to smooth things over.

"Actually, what I really mean is..."

"uh-huh."

Nero now revealed a look of disappointment. Indecision was her flaw. Now that she had spoken, there was no taking it back. "I didn't say I was going to refuse! I said, 'As long as I can do it, I can satisfy you!' Of course I can do this. Just wait patiently tonight."

Without giving Jiang You a chance to explain, Nero left with his wine glass. In her opinion now, Jiang You was really vulgar, but as the Roman emperor, she naturally had to distinguish between rewards and punishments. Now that she had said it, she had to do it.

Jiang You had only raised his hand halfway when Nero had already gone to Matthew's side. She still had memories of the second singularity at that time, and they had a lot of topics to reminisce about.

Jiang You could only withdraw his hand and scratch his head awkwardly. He definitely couldn't keep this appointment. This was a complete game after all. It was just that the NPCs were teasing him every day. I'm afraid it wasn't just the programmers' bad taste. So, don't add features that can't be done!

"Why don't you run away?"

Jiang You suddenly had this thought, but if he did that, his reputation with Nero would plummet. He hadn't even gotten the card yet, and now that Zabiko was here, the FE plot would have to be incorporated into the script sooner or later. Wouldn't it be awkward if he ran into this again while pushing the FE plot?

So today we must make things clear.

Speaking of FE, Jiang You remembered that he seemed to have a FE Servant named Sesshōin in his deck. As long as Sesshōin agreed and used her as a springboard, could he also send Zabiko over?

However, Jiang You couldn't quite grasp Sesshōin's personality; this guy probably wouldn't be so honest. Jiang You decided to wait until he was sure he'd go to the FE world before telling Zabiko, so as to avoid false hope.

The banquet passed quickly, and Jiang You found an opportunity to pull Nero aside.

“Can’t wait any longer?”

As shown before, Nero is quite confident in his charm.

"But the current environment isn't suitable. How about taking a bath with me? Using roses as the base..."

"In order to prevent further misunderstandings, I must explain this to you here."

Jiang You quickly interrupted Nero's description. She was the most relaxed Servant Jiang You had ever met. If she continued teasing him, he might not be able to sleep when he returned to reality. Although he had been the one who made the ambiguous remarks at the beginning, he would not admit it.

"I want to show you something."

Jiang You handed a card to Nero.

"This is... the card of the God Ancestor."

Looking at [Romulus] in her hand, Nero's expression showed a bit of Jiang You. She understood the generation logic of Jiang You's Noble Phantasm card.

"In other words... the God Ancestor recognizes you?"

"Yes, so what I meant before was to give me your cards as well."

Jiang You displayed the cards related to Romulus. Since they didn't interact with his own deck, Jiang You's chances of summoning Romulus were quite rare, which was one of the reasons he was anxious to find Nero to clarify things. Jiang You had originally thought Nero would suddenly realize the situation and move on from the subject, but the reality wasn't what he expected. "Why... do you still look so disappointed?"

“You…”

Nero sighed. "Although I'm not good at this, I could still sense it from your eyes at that time. Do you dare to swear to me that you didn't have any thoughts of monopolizing me at that time?"

Very good, the topic has returned to this direction. Jiang You felt a cold sweat breaking out. Normally, this question was doomed to be a dead end no matter what the answer was, but Nero was different. Her values ​​were completely different from those of ordinary women. If Jiang You nodded and acknowledged it generously, he would be praised. But if he nodded, there was no way to avoid this topic.

"Of course."

Jiang You finally admitted it shamelessly. After all, this was a game, not a real-life conversation. He wasn't a streamer, so he didn't have to worry about anyone seeing him embarrass himself (well, he did, but the topic had already made the audience break into a cold sweat). Even the embarrassment of his own monologue still made Jiang You's eyes wander.

"Look at Yu!"

Nero cupped Jiang You's face in her hands, forcing him to look directly at her. She confirmed that Jiang You's emotions were genuine: "You're truly innocent. I'm beginning to doubt whether you're a Heroic Spirit. There aren't many heroes who would behave like this in this regard."

"Actually, there are quite a lot of heroic spirits like this..."

Jiang You could easily count a lot of them, even the servants of God were not spared, such as Ai Lei.

"But those are just little girls, right?"

Nero didn't intend to listen to Jiang You's excuses. "Sometimes people still have to face their own desires. I have never been entangled in these things. I do whatever I want!"

Jiang You nodded in agreement. This was indeed consistent with Nero's historical background.

"Your words really spoil my fun!"

Nero puffed up her cheeks. This was a heroic spirit that even the gods looked up to. She had been looking forward to tonight.

"Let's postpone tonight's matter until later, otherwise I won't be able to enjoy it to the fullest... How dare you act so relieved! Are you dissatisfied with me in some way?!"

After crushing Jiang You's head with his hands, Nero took out his own cards.

"I promised you before that I would satisfy you in everything I could do. Since this is your request, I will of course keep my promise..."

Seeing Jiang You trying to run away, Nero grabbed the back of his collar and said, "Don't forget our agreement. Come back to me when you can face your own heart. I will definitely do what I said!"

401

Chapter 401: Chaldea is likely to be completely destroyed.

The welcome party ended very quickly. Since Gudako and Zabiko were not yet adults, alcohol was basically replaced by drinks, so the toast was also omitted.

It was a rare moment of relaxation. Several staff members picked up the microphone and began to take turns singing songs from their hometowns. While they were singing, other staff members began to clean up the scene. Roman stopped Jiang You who was about to return to the Moyi world.

"Jiang You, I have a favor to ask of you."

Roman looked at Gudako, who was helping the staff clean up. "It's time to let Fujimaru rest up. You can take others to other worlds, right? Could you please send her and Matthew to a relatively peaceful world so they can relax? Matthew, in particular, grew up in Chaldea and hasn't had much opportunity to see the outside world, let alone in this world where humanity is burning."

This wasn't a difficult task for Jiang You. Gudako and Mashu required very little mana, and he didn't have any skills that consumed mana. He still hadn't gotten Gudako's card, so he could take this opportunity to see if he could get it. Gudako was so tempting.

"I don't have any problem with that, but aren't you able to use spirit particles to transfer to a relatively normal singularity? Didn't you give Gudako a break before?"

According to the plot of the game, Gudako has experienced at least hundreds of singularities, and has participated in at least two swimsuit activities in the first part, so there is no need for him to provide a place to rest.

"As you know, the summoning circle only freed up resources to activate today."

Roman explained that according to the main storyline, Gudako really did not have so much free time to run around in various singularities, and according to the event plot, there were at least dozens of Heroic Spirits in Chaldea in the first part, so it made no sense that only Matthew would follow her when conquering the seven singularities.

"Even going to a singularity to resupply requires careful planning. How could we possibly have such an opportunity?"

"Okay, then I'll take Gudako away."

Jiang You certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity, "I'll go tell her."

"Then please."

Roman was not worried that Jiang You would harm Fujimaru Ritsuka. With Jiang You's ability, it was not difficult for him to directly penetrate Chaldea. He just needed to release Tiamat. Chaldea now did not have as many helpers as in the singularity, not to mention that Jiang You's summoning pool was terrifyingly deep.

"Just, could you please stop giving people weird nicknames!"

"Okay Solomon, bye Solomon!"

Of course Jiang You refused.

"To the normal world?"

After Jiang You explained the whole story, Gudako's eyes lit up. She had been out of touch with normal society for a long time. Even in London and America, which were closest to modern society, she had to fight against ghosts and robots, which were beyond common sense. She had almost forgotten what normal streets looked like.

"I'm going, I'm going! What about you, Matthew?"

"Wherever Senior goes, I will go."

In fact, Matthew was more excited than Gudako, but she was more restrained.

"Then let's take Zabiko-senpai with us!"

Although both of them are underage and are high school students, Zabiko's seemingly expressionless face makes her look much more mature, and Gudako also calls her senior without hesitation. Although according to the timeline, Gudako can be Zabiko's aunt.

"me?"

Zabiko, on the other hand, looked disappointed. Chaldea was still a new experience for her; she had seen enough of the normal world. But when she thought about it, she spent most of her time at school, so she didn't refuse.

"Alright."

"How can I be excluded from this kind of thing?"

Nero also came over and said, "Whether it's pleasure or battle, I won't miss it!"

"Now that the decision has been made, I have two worlds for you to choose from."

In fact, there are three timelines except for the Fairyland and Chaldea, but all the things at the fourth station have been basically handled, and the era is relatively early, so it was directly passed.

"One is the world Matthew visited, Fuyuki in 2014. There's a Duel Tournament going on right now in Fuyuki. If you're interested, you can join in. The preliminaries will be over in two days. Of course, if you're not interested, it's fine if you want to go abroad."

"Dueling Contest?"

Compared to Gudako and Mashu, who had seen Jiang You's Noble Phantasm, Zabiko knew nothing about it. So Jiang You briefly explained his Noble Phantasm and Fuyuki's current situation.

"You're almost reaching the singularity."

Seeing Jiang You directly bring the other world related to magic to the table, even Gudako felt that Jiang You had gone a little too far. "And the whole world has adapted to Fuyuki's current situation. I don't know what to say. Well... although I am somewhat interested. But I still want to have a good rest during this period. After all, your Noble Phantasm is still fighting, so what about the other world?"

"The other world is the world of magical girls..."

"Magical girl!?"

The reactions of the three girls, except Nero, were quite intense. Just like boys like Kamen Rider and Shining Saw Man, girls also longed for magical girls when they were young. "Is there such a parallel world?"

"No...it's still magic at its core. It's just the quirk of the second magician, Old Gem."

Jiang You explained it to prevent them from having excessive expectations.

"That place is also Fuyuki around 2014, but the tone is a little more peaceful."

"Anyway, magical girl!"

Gudako had already made up her mind, "At least let me take a look."

"Can't we have them all?"

Zabiko made a very adult decision. She was interested in everything, and she was a little bored with the monotonous daily life. Although she didn't understand why she had only been in high school for a year or two, she felt so bored that it felt like she had been through decades.

"You're just like me, Zabiko."

After all, he is the King of the Moon, so of course he wants everything that interests him. Jiang You nodded.

"Of course, if you need anything, just tell me and I'll take you wherever you want to go."

"So, shall we go?"

Jiang You has already made preparations, and switching scripts within the game does not require going through that transfer space.

"Before that, there's something else I want to do."

Nero looked at the staff who were singing karaoke, "That thing is called a microphone, right? I'm also a little itchy listening to their singing. Why don't you enjoy my heavenly voice before leaving?"

"Can His Majesty Nero still sing?"

Gudako is still somewhat interested in ancient Roman music, which is equivalent to witnessing history.

Jiang You glanced at the few people who had no idea what was going to happen next and silently took a step back.
