Use FGO to open the second dimension

"Hmm... so long-winded... I've always stayed at home, so how could I have the chance to interact with men... Even when I arrived at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I stayed inside the whole time and never left... Of course, this is also related to the fact that there are no powerful men in Gensokyo. Powerful monsters or something like that, are basically all women..."

Patchouli said this lightly. To put it bluntly, Gensokyo is a place where women are more numerous than men.

Not to mention Patchouli, even Koizumi hasn't heard any male names from those guys in Gensokyo yet... Well, Marisa mentioned someone named Morichika Rinnosuke to me, who seemed to be a male half-demon.

"That's true...it's been so long, and I haven't summoned a single male from Gensokyo..."

Koizumi nodded slightly. This was a very normal thing, because there were no powerful male monsters or humans in Gensokyo. In addition, as Patchouli was a stay-at-home girl, it was normal for her not to go out often and not to have any close male friends. Moreover, as a witch, Patchouli must have very strict requirements for her significant other.

"Of course... Gensokyo itself is a place where women are more numerous than men. If a guy like you were placed in Gensokyo, you would definitely be a freak. There is absolutely no man in Gensokyo with such monstrous strength as you!" Patchouli couldn't help but complain speechlessly, and at the same time snorted coldly at Koizumi.

She was also very unhappy with Koizumi's previous behavior. Who dared Koizumi to do this to her?

It’s okay if you can’t hate the other person, but there will still be some unpleasant feelings in your heart.

Since you don't allow yourself to hate the other person, you should still allow yourself to have emotions like unhappiness.

"I'll just take it as a compliment!" Koizumi chuckled and said slowly.

"Alright! Put me down now, we've already entered the city! There's no need to keep carrying me on your back!"

Patchouli glanced at the ordinary people around her, and a blush appeared on her face.

She was more or less a little embarrassed... being carried on a man's back in front of so many people.

Although she could use magic to minimize the presence of herself and others, but more or less... Sigh...

"Aren't you very tired and don't want to walk? Now you're not happy with me carrying you? Be careful or you won't be able to stand steadily..."

Koizumi said this with great interest, but Patchouli glared at him fiercely.

"I won't... And I never intended for you to carry me in the first place! You're saying it as if I was asking you to do it! Mmmm..." In a fit of anger, Patchouli accidentally revealed her habit of speaking...

"Hey, hey! I'll put you down right away! Sakuya!" Koizumi responded while calling out to Sakuya.

In the blink of an eye, Sakuya appeared beside Koizumi, standing by and silently supporting Patchouli as she slowly came down.

Sakuya is worthy of being Sakuya. Koizumi just called her over, and she knew what Koizumi meant by calling her.

Although this wasn't something difficult to understand, maids as understanding as Sakuya were still quite rare.

"Thanks, Sakuya..." Patchouli smiled gently and said slowly.

"It's my duty..." Sakuya nodded gently and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Glancing deeply at Sakuya, Koizumi's eyes flickered with admiration. Should he say she truly lived up to the title of "perfect and elegant head maid"? Her efficiency and everything else were truly admirable.

"So, are you going to go see Nero with me? Or are you going to go get some rest?"

Koizumi looked at Patchouli with a concerned look on his face. He was definitely worried about her.

After all, he really did tease her, and if Patchouli takes this matter seriously, then Koizumi must take responsibility. At first, he was just joking, but now seeing Patchouli like this, it seems like there really is a big problem.

So, to a certain extent, Koizumi still has to take responsibility towards the other party.

"I better go get some rest. After all, it would be rude to vomit blood in front of him. He's a tyrant after all, with an unpredictable temper. If he gets angry because of me, it would be terrible."

Patchouli said this lightly, her face looking a little pale.

It's normal. Although Patchouli has recovered a lot, it doesn't mean she is completely well.

If possible, Koizumi also hopes that he can rest well now, otherwise she might hinder the subsequent battles. Patchouli herself doesn't want to end up like that...

Since she had come along, she didn't want to be the one holding them back... That's what Patchouli thought.

Chapter 563 Tired Nero

"Hmm! You two magi, thank you for bringing the battle reports from the front lines! How are the results at the front?"

Nero's face was filled with exhaustion. His Majesty the Emperor must have been having a headache because of this matter. However, it was normal. Anyone would feel very troubled if something like this happened.

Nero's head hurts a lot now, and she needs some information from the front line to relieve the headache.

It's a shame, though, that the battle report brought by Koizumi and Ritsuka will only make Nero's head hurt more and more...

Being an emperor is really pitiful... Ritsuka couldn't help but feel sympathy when he saw Nero's current state.

She was very glad that she was not the emperor. What she was going to do was so simple and crude!

Poor Majesty Nero, and thinking about his death, Ritsuka felt more and more that he was so pitiful...

Koizumi didn't think much of it. The higher one stands, the greater the responsibility one has to bear. This is inevitable. Now we only have Nero in our eyes. As the ruler of Britain, the pressure on Artoria is definitely not less than Nero's. As a ruler, every decision she makes determines the fate of the country.

So there is nothing to sympathize with. After all, the pressure on Ritsuka is no less than that on Nero. It’s just that Ritsuka is naturally optimistic and does things in a simple and rough way, so he doesn’t feel any pressure at all.

Koizumi is also under a lot of pressure, but he's always used to turning pressure into motivation, so for him, this pressure isn't a big deal... So Nero's pressure really isn't a big deal...

Nero at most faces the pressure of being the ruler of a country, while Koizumi and Ritsuka both face the pressure of saving the world.

So, compared to Koizumi and Ritsuka, the pressure on Nero is really nothing.

Of course, everyone has their own troubles, and Koizumi has no business saying anything here. More important now is reporting the battle report and—finding a way to trick Nero into personally going to the front lines...

"Your Majesty, Nero, please take a look at the battle report yourself... Some things are better for Your Majesty to see in person!"

Koizumi nodded apologetically and handed Nero the battle report that Caesar and the others had given him.

Of course, Koizumi had read the battle report that Caesar had given to Nero beforehand. This was also to prevent Caesar from making a move on him. After all, while Caesar and the others were superficially his comrades, there was one thing he had to remember: they were actually his enemies. He also had no idea whether they knew the truth about Nero's resurrection and whether they would treat him and the Chaldeans like enemies.

Therefore, it was necessary for Gu Quan to be vigilant against Caesar and his gang. Otherwise, if they attacked him secretly, Gu Quan might be defeated in Rome. So, Gu Quan secretly glanced at the battle report.

Of course, Koizumi knew that Nero couldn't find out, so he acted very cautiously.

Using the gap to view the internal battle report, I have to admit that the gap ability is sometimes really useful.

You don't even need to take out the battle report to see all the content in it. It's extremely convenient.

After confirming that there were no problems with the battle report, Koizumi said that it could be handed over to the other party without any worries.

What was described here were all true situations, and even Patchouli didn't find anything particularly wrong with them.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Nero frowned slightly, and the solemn expression on his face began to grow more intense.

The battle situation in Gaul was beyond her expectations. She didn't expect that even the capable people from foreign countries were almost defeated.

Caesar had made one point clear in the battle report: Boudica's forces also had very powerful reinforcements. Without the help of Koizumi and the others, he might not have been able to repel them this time...

Perhaps in Caesar's eyes, if Koizumi and the others wanted to become enemies with him, with such a strong person on the other side, there would be no need for them to side with Rome and become enemies with them.

Indeed, with reinforcements of this size, there is no need to resort to internal spies.

Arthur's appearance actually made Caesar and the others dispel their suspicions about Koizumi. Otherwise, there would be no need for Ritsuka and the others to participate in the meeting to deal with Boudica... This does seem like a bit of a coincidence.

"I see. Is the situation on the front lines that urgent? Hmm! This is really giving me a headache..."

As he said this, Nero couldn't help but cover his head, and the distress on his face became more intense.

As if he had just noticed that Koizumi and the others hadn't left, Nero turned his gaze towards the two of them.

"Hmm! Thank you so much for your help, both magicians! Lord Caesar mentioned your contributions in his letter! He also explained that your friends were seriously injured because of this incident! I'm deeply sorry! Anyway, thank you so much this time!"

Perhaps Nero was a tyrant, but one thing is certain: if someone really helped him, Nero would express his gratitude to the other party in a normal way.

Furthermore, Koizumi and the others had indeed helped his side a lot. Even their companions had been severely injured by the enemy in their efforts to stabilize the situation on the Gallic battlefield. Nero still needed to express his condolences for this.

"How is the magician's companion now? Is he in good health?"

Koizumi chuckled. Patchouli's body had always been like that, whether she was seriously injured or not, it didn't matter.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty Nero. Patch's health has improved a lot, so there's no need to worry..."

Nero nodded slightly. After all, she and Patchouli had only met once, so she could just offer her condolences. After all, offering condolences was her duty, and no one would say anything if she didn't...

"Let her have a good rest. Since she wants to work for me, she must keep her life safe!"

Nero said this lightly, but his tone was filled with deep distress.

Gu Quan sighed slightly in his heart. After all, wouldn't it be too difficult for a woman to be an emperor?

Whether it is Nero or Altria, they are just ordinary girls after all... Although this girl is better at dealing with pressure than ordinary girls, this is not a reason for them to shoulder the heavy responsibility of a country.

Not only was Koizumi thinking this, but even Ritsuka couldn't help but take another look at Nero.

In Chaldea, Artoria Lily fully displayed her side as a girl and her immaturity as a knight. When thinking of Artoria in the Fourth Holy Grail War, Ritsuka couldn't help but wonder what on earth this girl had gone through to become like that!

So in the beginning, these kings were actually ordinary people. They continued to walk on this road and grew into beings called kings...

The more I see them exhausted from carrying such heavy burdens, the more I feel sorry for them...

Chapter 564: Heart-Stirring Conditions

"Is His Majesty Nero distressed?" Koizumi's words startled Ritsuka. Is it really okay to expose someone's inner distress so directly? Aren't you afraid he'll chop you off? Although Nero always seems cheerful, tyrants are always moody. What if he really does chop you off?

But then again, it seems like Koizumi has always been like this, never afraid of anyone.

I still remember that when he was fighting with Gilgamesh, he was also fearless.

This is normal. Is Koizumi the type to be frightened by a being called the King?

Ritsuka heaved a sigh of relief. Since Koizumi would say that, he must have his own considerations.

Although he felt a little impulsive, this was Koizumi's usual style, and he didn't intend to say anything.

Hearing this, Nero was slightly startled, and his pair of emerald green eyes turned to Koizumi in front of him, with a little gleam in his eyes.

Koizumi stared at Nero without any fear at all, which made Nero admire him. He dared to speak to him directly at this time. This courage alone was enough to make him look at him with new eyes.

When facing themselves, most people are timid and bored.

Nero thought so. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Nero had high hopes for Koizumi and the others.

If a slave dared to speak to him like that, Nero would definitely make him pay...

In order to gain the ruler's appreciation, many factors are important, and it is not enough to just contradict the other party.

Nero simply nodded slightly in response to Koizumi's question, then slowly began to speak.

"As you can see, the situation in Gaul is not optimistic right now. I have to keep it a secret from the citizens of Rome. If they knew about the situation on the front lines, Rome wouldn't be as lively as it is now. I don't want to see a lifeless Rome... I'm really having a headache right now... Hmm..."

When talking about headaches, Nero couldn't help but cover his head with a slightly distorted look on his face.

Koizumi glanced at Nero briefly, a hint of contemplation flickering in his eyes, and then he slowly spoke to Nero.

"Your Majesty Nero, I have some methods that can slightly alleviate your headache..."

Hearing this, Nero's eyes suddenly lit up, and while covering his head, he looked at Koizumi in front of him.

This headache has really troubled her for a long time. It can be said that even if she becomes a Heroic Spirit in the future, this headache will probably continue to bother her, because there is the example of Patchouli. Patchouli had severe anemia and asthma before, and after becoming a Heroic Spirit, the anemia and asthma did not go away so easily.

The disease was tightly wrapped around Patchouli's body, with no intention of letting her go.

So if it can be relieved, Nero will definitely be very happy... So -

"Hmm, then please give it a try... To be honest, I've been troubled by this headache for a long time!"

Koizumi was silent for a moment, then, under Nero's slightly impatient gaze, he slowly spoke.

"This may offend His Majesty Nero. Please forgive me for a moment..."

Nero snorted coldly and slowly spoke to Koizumi in front of him, "If you can cure my headache, I'll be so happy that I won't blame you. So just come on..."

Nero didn't care about any of this at all, so since he didn't care about it, Koizumi certainly didn't care either. After all, it was still Nero's place, so Koizumi had to pay attention to what he thought.

Slowly, Koizumi walked to Nero's side and touched his temples with both hands, which surprised Nero.

But soon, Nero no longer cared about these things. After all, he had already said it. If he regretted it now, he would lose face. Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise he would have lost all his face.

"Noble Phantasm—Breeze Prayer!"

The Great Fairy's Noble Phantasm utilizes spiritual energy for healing. If it were a Heroic Spirit, headaches would likely be a curse from before death. However, if it were still alive, headaches would simply be a symptom, and spiritual energy could still be of some use, so Koizumi decided to give it a try.

If his Noble Phantasm, Breeze of Wish, can heal, then the opponent should be a living person. If Breeze of Wish has little or no healing effect, then the opponent should be a Servant.

Although using this to test is a bit risky, it can at least determine whether the other party is a Servant.

Gentle breezes blew by, and pure spiritual energy began to cleanse Nero's brain. The strong feeling of comfort made Nero subconsciously masturbate. In the eyes of Ritsuka who was standing by, this was undoubtedly the embodiment of a scumbag.

He clearly has Patchouli by his side, yet he's still flirting with the Emperor... scumbag...

"Hmm... Your methods are truly miraculous... My headache has completely disappeared... And my mind is more clear than I could ever imagine... Have you ever considered staying in Rome and serving me after the war? I'll consider any official position you desire after the war!"

Nero was undoubtedly becoming more and more satisfied with Koizumi. If possible, she would like to recruit Koizumi right now.

Nero always acted on his thoughts. After all, when he first met Koizumi and the others, he brought them directly to the palace without hesitation. That was Nero...

So, while Koizumi was still massaging Nero's temples, Nero recruited Koizumi.

Hearing this, Koizumi was silent for a moment, then just smiled softly and slowly replied.
