Use FGO to open the second dimension

Furthermore, after learning that Nero himself had lost the relevant memories, Koizumi felt more confident in persuading him. Koizumi and Patch had a long conversation about Nero's memory loss.

The final result of the conversation was that Nero had definitely lost his memory. As for why Arthur was so vague, the two could only blame Arthur for having reasons he couldn't speak directly, perhaps because explaining it was too troublesome...

That's true. If some things are too complicated to explain, Koizumi will find a way to skip them.

"A reason! Give me a reason to lead the expedition in person! If not, I won't go out easily!"

Nero's face held a look of dignity without even getting angry, and his aura pressed down on Koizumi before him.

She is worthy of being the emperor. Even though in Koizumi's eyes, she is not qualified to be the emperor, but one thing is without a doubt, she is Nero Claudius, the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire!

Koizumi had sensed this aura from her before, from Artoria, Gilgamesh, and Iskandar. These were all former kings, so it was normal for them to have this aura.

Koizumi was silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on Nero before him, and he spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty should be well aware of this reason! Boudica's goal and the reason why Your Majesty must personally lead the expedition!"

Koizumi didn't expose Nero directly, but let him figure it out himself. This is actually quite understandable. If this proposal were put in the era when Nero actually ruled, it would make perfect sense. Although this era is not Nero's, in Nero's memory, this era is the reign of Nero Claudius.

Therefore, Koizumi made this request as a matter of course, and let Nero understand it himself.

Nero is very smart, she is a genius, there is no doubt about that...

The moment Koizumi proposed this, Nero had already guessed the reason behind Koizumi's request.

Because I am the emperor of the Roman Empire, because Boudica's target is me, because only when I appear on the battlefield will Boudica rush towards me like crazy, even if there are traps set for her ahead, she will not stop! All of this is because of Boudica's hatred for me!

Nero felt a little regretful about the Britannia incident. The tragedy happened with his semi-acquiescence. If he had not semi-acquiesced, perhaps the incident with Boudica would not have happened!

Gazing deeply at Koizumi before him, Nero couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Honestly, she could be said to be admiring Koizumi more and more. It was rare to find someone so bold as to make such a direct request, but Nero had to admit that she needed someone like him.

It's a pity that Koizumi himself doesn't seem to have this idea right now, but it's precisely because of this that Nero wants to recruit Koizumi, someone who doesn't cling to power but is very talented, so he won't threaten his position... It always seems a shame not to keep such a talent by his side!

Under Koizumi's gaze, Nero slowly stood up and spoke...

Chapter 568 Patchouli: Should I change my clothes (job description)?

Nero was very straightforward this time, deciding to lead the army himself without much hesitation. Ultimately, this was because Nero liked to overthink things. Koizumi didn't say much, but Nero decided to lead the army himself.

This is even simpler than I thought... Koizumi silently thought to himself.

Looking at Nero, who seemed to have made a major decision in his life, Koizumi couldn't help but feel amused.

The next moment, Nero looked at Koizumi in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.

"Then, magician, answer me! If I lead the battle myself, all problems will be solved, right?"

Nero must ask this question clearly. If he cannot solve all these problems by leading the army in person, then what is the point of leading the army in person? So Nero must ask these questions clearly... This is necessary!

Koizumi's eyes turned to Nero, a gleam of brilliance glittering in them.

"That's right. As long as His Majesty Nero leads the army in person, all problems will be solved!" After a moment's silence, Gu Quan nodded. It was indeed the case. As long as Nero leads the army in person, all problems can be solved.

It's just that the question Koizumi asked was different from the one Nero asked... so it's not really a deception, right?

Hearing this, Nero nodded heavily. Since Koizumi said so, why not believe him this once?

What's more, Nero has no other choice now. Since a personal expedition can solve the problem, why not give it a try? Now the battle between Rome and Boudica is in a stalemate, and he has no other choice.

"Since you, the magician, have said so, why not let me lead the charge myself? Let me personally lead the charge and boost the morale of the soldiers on the front lines! After all, I am almighty! There is nothing I can't do!"

Nero's face was filled with pride. She had the qualifications and capital to be proud!

Koizumi glanced deeply at Nero before him. Should he say that being a genius means he can do whatever he wants?

"Then I'll go down and get ready!" Gu Quan said slowly, and prepared to leave.

Nero nodded slightly, but she had no intention of stopping Koizumi from leaving. After all, the party was over, and she had no reason to keep Koizumi here any longer, so she simply let him leave.

Things like recruiting can be done slowly; being too hasty will only make people feel disgusted.

Nero knew that he couldn't get anything done in a hurry, so he let Koizumi go down first while he prepared himself.

After all, Nero had never really thought about leading an army in person, so she needed to be mentally prepared.

Of course, Nero had led his own army before, but he would have to face Boudica's ghost next, so how could he not be at all shaken? It was because of his wrong decision that this happened.

Facing Boudica, Nero's emotions were naturally extremely complicated...

Therefore, she needed to calm down her emotions before facing Boudica to avoid any problems.

Returning to the room silently, Koizumi took a deep breath and then breathed a sigh of relief... He had been feeling really depressed before!

It's not that Koizumi hates parties, but Nero's parties are too thrilling. They're more like a thrill than a party.

At least Koizumi can't handle such a party, so forget it... A mortal like me is not suitable for experiencing such a party. It would be better to just quietly have an ordinary party with the guys in Gensokyo.

I am still suitable to be an ordinary person. Forget about power and influence. It is really not suitable for me!

That's what Koizumi thought, and now he can somewhat understand Reimu's lazy mentality.

"What's wrong? You look like you're being chased by something scary... Did your talks with Nero fall through?"

Suddenly, Patchouli's voice appeared in Koizumi's ears, making Koizumi slightly stunned.

Patchouli walked out slowly with a puzzled look on her face.

This surprised Koizumi a bit. Patchouli actually came out on her own?

Koizumi's surprise was not without reason. After all, Patchouli had been lying there motionless, looking completely exhausted. Koizumi didn't say anything. If you want to lie there, then lie there. It won't be a problem anyway.

But now, seeing Patchouli suddenly stand up, Koizumi couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Why did you get up suddenly? How are you feeling? If you're not feeling well, just go back and lie down..."

Koizumi hurried forward and asked with considerable concern, though of course it was only a subconscious inquiry.

Seeing Koizumi approaching, Patchouli blushed slightly, but quickly suppressed it.

Having regained her previous composure, Patchouli glanced at Koizumi with her calm eyes and spoke slowly.

"It's not good to lie down all the time, so get up and walk around. Also, I'm just used to staying in the library reading, and I'm not in good health so I don't go out often. Don't treat me like a jerk. I used to attend the banquets after the mutation, and although I've missed some, there's still a certain difference between that and staying at home and being jerk, okay?"

Hearing this, Koizumi couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Well, he just thought Patchouli was a shut-in who would die in the spotlight...

But that's also because Patchouli usually gives people that impression, there's nothing I can do about it...

"Sorry, sorry, it's just that you usually give people the impression that you never leave the house. Plus, you're wearing a nightgown. Have you ever seen someone fight in a nightgown?"

Koizumi looked at Patchouli speechlessly. "The clothes you're wearing are not convincing at all!"

Hearing this, Patchouli glanced at the clothes she was wearing. There was nothing she could do. She usually wore the same clothes, even when she slept. She had never changed them at all.

Huh? You said clothes will get dirty? Come on! Patchouli is a magician after all. She can keep her clothes clean with her magic. Why would she need to wash clothes?

It turns out that the clothes you wear can also give people different feelings... I have never noticed this before.

After all, as a magician, one must use his magic to the maximum extent possible, and some of the accessories on his body are also matched according to this. Moreover, some of the accessories on his body can also be regarded as his own magic props...

Should I try to change my clothes when I get back? Patchouli frowned slightly and began to fall into deep thought. She didn't care about these things before, but now that Koizumi mentioned them, she inexplicably began to care.

Chapter 569: Ritsuka and Mashu's Mission

"I see, His Majesty Nero is much more decisive than we imagined... This way we can save ourselves a lot of effort..." Patchouli nodded slightly and said slowly.

At first they were worried about whether Nero would hesitate or something, but now it seems that all their initial worries were in vain.

Nero was much more decisive than they had imagined. Although this was a bit too much for Nero, it was also a helpless move. After all, they were destined to be enemies with Nero, and this was also a tactic.

After hearing that Koizumi had successfully persuaded Nero to lead the army in person, Patchouli's eyes lit up with a hint of joy.

This success was a bit too quick, but that's actually a good thing. As long as Nero is willing to lead the army himself, everything will be easy from now on... And since Koizumi was able to convince Nero to lead the army himself with that reason, it also proves one thing: that Nero, even as a Servant, has lost the memories he should have had.

However, according to Koizumi and Patchouli's guesses, Nero doesn't look like a Servant, but a human!

No, according to Koizumi's guess, that guy is neither human nor a Servant, but rather—

Koizumi's eyes flickered. If his previous speculation was correct, this should be...

"What's wrong?" Noticing something unusual about Koizumi, Patchouli looked at him.

Gu Quan chuckled, but didn't say anything more. After all, now was not the time to tell anyone.

You have to know that this is just a guess, and it has not yet become a fact, so evidence is still needed.

"Nothing?" Koizumi shook his head slightly, his mysterious demeanor making Patchouli even more confused.

When did you start learning from Yakumo Yukari? Yakumo Yukari is used to pretending to be mysterious, why are you doing that too?

Patchouli couldn't help but roll her eyes, a helpless look on her face. This guy really learned bad things from Yakumo Yukari.

There's no way around it. There are too many shameless people in Gensokyo, so it seems normal for Koizumi to learn bad things from them.

"You guys, why are you being so mysterious? It's meaningless! Just like that gap monster!"

Hearing this, Koizumi shrugged and said, "I don't want to be mysterious, but it would put a lot of pressure on you if I tell you all at once!"

And Koizumi doesn't have any real evidence yet, so if possible, Koizumi wants to find the evidence and then tell them!

What's more, if this matter is true, then I can almost guess the identity of Arthur, and I can also roughly understand the reason why the other party did not tell me!

"I'm not being mysterious. I just think it would be better to tell you after I understand the truth better!"

Koizumi chuckled softly, and after glancing at everyone present, he slowly spoke.

Ritsuka curled his lips, but didn't say anything. It would be better if Koizumi didn't tell him. He just needed to take action.

Mashu nodded slightly without saying anything. This was just Mr. Koizumi's personality, and Mashu was used to it. After all, they had come to the first singularity, Orleans, together with Koizumi.

So Mashu was accustomed to Koizumi's way of doing things, and she didn't intend to say anything about Koizumi's behavior.

"This is also Koizumi-kun's habit. Miss Patchouli, please be patient for a while." Youyouzi (Xixingyao) said with a chuckle. As someone who had been both an enemy and a friend to Koizumi and his companions, she knew Koizumi's style of doing things very well.

Koizumi often thinks better on his own, but will consult others if necessary.

But most of the time, Koizumi thinks alone, while Reimu and the others rely on their own understanding.

Of course, in the end, even those who didn’t know what was going on knew what was going on.

Hearing this, Patchouli couldn't help but twitch her lips. These guys, it seems that I, a newcomer, am the only one who doesn't understand your habits?

How frustrating! But since Koizumi wasn't going to say anything, Patchouli didn't plan to ask any more questions. She had come here just to help Koizumi with his thinking, but since Koizumi wasn't going to ask her any more questions, there was no need for her to ask any more questions. She would wait until Koizumi needed her.

"Master!" Sakuya's voice suddenly came, and a cup of black tea was handed to her.

Gu Quan took it subconsciously, and then he felt strange. Wait, where does black tea come from in this era?

"Sakuya, where did this cup of black tea come from?" Koizumi looked at Sakuya with a puzzled look on his face.

"After we established the summoning circle, Ms. Ritsuka said that some necessary supplies could be transported from Chaldea, so I troubled Chaldea over there." Sakuya said lightly.

Chaldea's summoning circle! I see! Koizumi nodded in realization, but said nothing.

But suddenly, Koizumi seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes quickly turned to Ritsuka.

"Ritsuka! I need you and Mashu to help me with something!" Koizumi said quickly with a slight smile on his face.

Ritsuka was slightly stunned. It was the first time she saw Koizumi so excited. What's wrong with him?

Need me to help him with something? Li Xiang couldn't help but curl his lips. This guy is so strong, what does he need me to do?

Out of curiosity, Ritsuka looked at Koizumi and nodded slightly, but did not refuse.

If there is something he can really do, Ritsuka will definitely do it without hesitation. After all, his strength cannot compete with that of the Heroic Spirits. In this case, he will try his best to do what he can.

Mashu also nodded quickly. If possible, she would like to help.

Since Koizumi needed her help, Mashu would definitely agree. After all, she had always believed that she was of no help at all. Even in the most basic combat, she was only protecting her Master.

Although it is her duty as a Servant to protect her Master, she also has the task of repairing the singularity. It is definitely not enough to just protect her predecessors, so to some extent, Mashu still feels a little guilty about herself.

"I need you to go to Mount Etna! When we and His Majesty Nero head to the Gaul front, you will immediately go to Mount Etna! You don't have to move with us..."

Koizumi said this with a serious expression, causing Ritsuka and Mashu to be slightly taken aback.

Patchouli frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something. The next moment, a look of realization appeared on her face.

I see. I roughly understand what Koizumi is going to do...

Chapter 570: Narcissist Nero

"Hmm! Magician! I remember there were two other people beside you, right? Why did they suddenly disappear?"

Nero was very sensitive and noticed the abnormality around Koizumi at once. After all, Ritsuka had been following Koizumi to see Nero, so it was normal for Nero to notice Ritsuka's disappearance at once.

Of course, this wasn't a suspicion of Koizumi; it was simply Nero's purest suspicion.
