Chapter 574 It’s Over! I’m Surrounded by Beauties
Nero Claudius.
The noble and luxurious Rose Princess, the energetic and cheerful Flower of Rome.
In front of this girl, the victor of the Holy Grail War, the contractor who tamed the beast, the young man who won again and again in the competition of thousands of heroes... was unprecedentedly flustered, and the hand holding the fork froze in place.
With a flash of nervousness and hope in his eyes, Shuoyue stared at the beautiful girl in front of him and tentatively said: "You..."
Your Majesty, do you still remember the governor of the second singularity by the Daming Lake that year... cough?
"Hmm?" Nero tilted his head, his beautiful eyes looked at the handsome white-haired young man, and soon showed an innocent smile, "I understand!"
Understand? Could it be that...
It seemed that she heard the sound of her heart beating. In the sudden excitement, Shuoyue saw Nero put his hands together and said happily:
"You want to ask me if I have eaten, right? I remember that this is an oriental etiquette. Well, it's a pity that I have been busy until now and haven't had time to eat!"
"So--" The red emperor blinked her eyes, not hiding the cunning of the girl, "Can you treat me to a meal, kind person? I will be very grateful to you!"
? ? ?
Shuoyue was stunned, but quickly defeated by Nero's eye attack, nodded with a wry smile, so Nero cheered, sat down at the double table generously, dragged Shuoyue's half-eaten mapo tofu in front of him, and couldn't wait to pick up the knife and fork.
"I'm going to eat~~"
And Shuoyue, after nodding in agreement, did not make any other movements, just staring at Nero steadily, never moving his eyes away.
He thought that if he wanted to reunite with Nero, it could only be in Chaldea, Fujimaru or Ritsuka. At some inadvertent moment, in the clean corridor, the girl rushed into his sight like a flame, and then left in a hurry. They only had time to look back at each other before going their separate ways again.
In the final analysis, everything that happened in the second singularity was just a dream, just a ring built by the beast (Beast) reborn with the help of the original body to test the contractor.
As a host, Nero obviously participated in everything from beginning to end, but was just a bystander. Even if the new moon, or the Great Qin Wu'an Jun's eyes fell on her, they only saw the shadow of the dormant beast.
She was like a backdrop used on every stage, or a necessary and insignificant prop or bridge, carrying the joy of running to each other, but destined to get nothing - people would only be moved by the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting, but who would care about the magpie that matched them?
So, there must be guilt hidden in her heart.
Nero Claudius was not a background board, nor was he an emotionless carrier - she smiled more beautifully than anyone else, bloomed more passionately than anyone else, and even the new moon was ignited by her burning love.
But in the end, fate made her sit in the audience, watching her governor embrace the beauty amid cheers, and together with her who was not her, she left her life gently and coldly, and never met again.
It was like a fairy tale dream. When I woke up, my hands still retained the familiar temperature, but they gradually became cold at night. Whether it was that story or that person, they were gradually forgotten.
Even if I saw the familiar figure again, everything had changed.
"You seem to be very familiar with me. Are you a traveler who has come to the empire and admired my glory?"
Sure enough, I have no memory of it...
Shuoyue sighed inwardly, but did not intend to take the initiative to talk about that past: "Let's just say it is like this. After all, I am used to serving His Majesty, who is as beautiful and noble as you."
"Wumm, I didn't expect you to be a beautiful boy who can speak sweet words!" Nero nodded very pleased and put a full spoonful of mapo tofu into his mouth. Just as he was about to introduce himself, his emerald green eyes suddenly widened and his fair face immediately turned red.
Spicy, so spicy!
It was as if Mount Vesuvius had erupted on the tip of her tongue!
The indescribable pain that people called "spicy" in awe exploded in her mouth. The naive Nero did not know that what Shuoyue ate was the super spicy mapo tofu that was famous throughout the Type-Moon world and even praised as "capable of killing"!
This spicy taste contains the supreme delicacy, but those who can't even get through the initial pain are not qualified to visit that extreme state!
But Nero couldn't care less at this time. She only knew that she was dying of spiciness, so she reached out to the glass on the table. The water in the glass rippled, reflecting the girl's anxious eyes.
As long as she could, she could reach that place--
With a "snap", Nero's hand was firmly grasped by someone. At the same time, the young man raised his head, glanced at her "coldly", waved to call the waiter, and whispered a few words. Under Nero's desperate eyes, the cup of clear water was picked up by the waiter and turned away.
Like a whip lashing delicate skin, the strong pain that suddenly exploded made Nero tearful. She looked at the handsome white-haired young man and felt that he was as cruel as a devil at this time.
Was he using this method to poison me! What a cunning and sinister plan!
Nero wanted to struggle, but the spicy taste in her mouth took away her strength. She wanted to draw her sword, but fighting was forbidden in Yue Haiyuan Academy. Even if a war broke out, she was just a servant without a master, and she had to carefully calculate the consumption of magic power, not to mention fighting in such an unfavorable situation.
Could it be that... I will die here in such a heroic way?
Just when Nero was desperate, the waiter who took her water cup turned back. On his tray, there were several bottles of milky white drinks neatly placed.
Milk?
"Capsaicin is insoluble in water. Drinking water will only spread capsaicin in all directions, which will hurt more." Shuoyue glanced at the stupid emperor, took the milk, pried open the lid with one hand, and handed the bottle mouth to her mouth, "Milk can neutralize capsaicin and relieve pain."
Without hesitation, Nero opened her cherry mouth slightly, and the milk poured into her mouth without doing anything herself, just right to flow through the mouth, relieving the burning spiciness.
"Alive...alive."
Nero sighed in relief and leaned back in the chair, her face full of relief for surviving the disaster, while Shuoyue stared at her rosy lips, and after a long while, she withdrew her gaze with difficulty and asked casually: "Speaking of which, I am very curious, who can summon your master?"
Who is it? I don't know, I opened my eyes and saw another master, and it was a little girl who couldn't be trusted...
Nero was about to answer like this, but suddenly his mind changed, and he didn't confess but hummed: "The one who can control my supreme sword is of course the most outstanding and noble master in Yue Haiyuan."
Is that so...Shuoyue didn't doubt him, and pondered to delete the possibility that Draco was Nero's master.
After all, the so-called most outstanding and noble master...no matter how you think about it, it can't be that gloomy and bad girl!
Perhaps because of the lack of favorability, Nero was still wary of this young man: "Come to think of it, I don't know your name yet, you are also a servant, right? Then who is your master?"
"Hey, at least abide by the principle of equal exchange." Shuoyue said with a smile, "Since I invited you to dinner, it is natural for you to tell me the information, but there is a charge for additional information."
"Hmm, so this is the price..." Nero scooped a spoonful of tofu with milk, which was unexpectedly delicious, "Okay, I will forgive you for trying to poison the emperor! From now on, just call me Saber!"
Poison the emperor?
Shuoyue's mouth twitched. This style of talking to himself really fits Nero's willful character: "Well, then call me Shuoyue, dear Miss Saber."
"Oh, Shuoyue, although it feels a bit casual, it sounds unexpectedly good." Nero shook his head, and his golden hair shook, "Hmm, I really like you more and more!"
"Then do you want me to take you home, Saber?"
"Forget it, Shuoyue, although you are my favorite type, it is the finals after all, so you should be serious."
Putting down the knife and fork, Nero warned seriously: "If we become opponents, then my sword will not show mercy!"
"Really? Anyway, I believe it."
"Hey--!"
After having a free meal, Nero hummed a song and left the cafeteria in a good mood, while Shuoyue snapped his fingers, signaling the waiter to clean up the battlefield, and he strolled around the campus, hoping to catch that red shadow.
Along the way, I saw too many familiar faces, too many unexpected heroes, and even a good opponent whose soul still resonated with him even across time and space.
Hundreds of heroes gathered here, which is a miracle that cannot be replicated in any orthodox Holy Grail War. If someone raises a wine jug, someone will shout and follow; if someone sings and claps, someone will sing and dance with him - even if they are destined to fight each other to death in the future.
This is the romance of the Holy Grail War, which is the color that always shines brightly besides the main colors of blood and killing.
But... I still couldn't find the little red dragon.
All the way to the rooftop, the young man who took off the Akahara dress and put on the Yuehaiyuan school uniform again leaned against the wall of the rooftop, blowing the evening breeze. He had nothing to gain and could only temporarily suppress Draco's matter and continue to think about what was interrupted by Nero.
If Assassin represents the "rage" among the seven deadly sins, then as Archer, which of the seven deadly sins did he get?
Perhaps there was a will that didn't allow him to explore the mystery. With the sound of footsteps, another familiar figure climbed onto the rooftop.
"... After a rough investigation, compared with the preliminaries, the school's structure has basically not changed significantly."
The girl, who was patrolling back and forth like a stag with one hand on her waist, caught a glimpse of the young man leaning against the rooftop, and her eyes lit up slightly.
"Eh, wait? You over there, yes, that's you."
What the hell, what's going on, what are you doing, sister?
Even if she turned back to her youth form and her appearance changed, she wouldn't be unrecognizable, right, Rin Tosaka!
Sakutsuki closed his eyes and watched the girl with black twin ponytails approach, stretched out her slender index finger, and touched his cheek.
"Speaking of which, I haven't examined the role yet."
The tactile receptors on the face depicted the direction of the girl's fingertips. Like a couple flirting, the girl's fingers playfully brushed across Sakutsuki's cheek, and even gently pinched it.
"Eh? It's very warm. It's better than expected for an NPC." After reaching the back, Rin simply moved his hands up and down, touching Shuo Yue's whole body. "This face looks like that of the guy from the qualifiers." , but there is no Master's aura... Is he really dead? I really didn't expect that the Moon Spirit Crystal can use the Master's data to create characters. If you look carefully..."
Not knowing what she thought of, Lin's face turned slightly red. She looked at Shuo Yue's face carefully and whispered:
"Surprisingly, it's my type."
Doesn’t this line sound a bit familiar... Could it be that I have inherited Emiya’s unique female-hard-featured look from past generations... Should I perform a high-jumping performance to add to the fun...
Shuo Yue's expression became more and more speechless. Just when he was thinking about whether to stop him or not, another girl's surprised voice happened to sound.
"Rin, and Sakuzuki...what are you two doing?"
With flowing brown hair, Bai Ye seemed to have trotted up all the way. She gasped softly and looked at the two people on the rooftop in shock. At this time, Rin was putting her hands on Shuoyue's waist. Looking at that posture, Like the prelude to some big action movie...
"Wait, it's not what you think!" Rin was shocked. She looked at Bai Ye and then at Shuo Yue who rolled her eyes. For a moment, she just felt that she couldn't argue and was about to cry.
"Are you a Servant? Is that child a Master? Wait, wait, that means that I, who just touched your body carefully for the purpose of investigation, what the hell is it--whaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Amid Lin's shameful cries, Shuo Yue looked up at the sky with empty eyes.
Draco, Nero, Tohsaka Rin, even Kishinami Hakuno...
It's over, I'm surrounded by beautiful women!
