She still has great trust in Koizumi. After all, Koizumi and the others have done their utmost for Rome...

Especially when Nero saw Patchouli's rather pale face, her trust in Koizumi increased even more.

Nero thought that since he was willing to do this for Rome, he deserved a certain amount of trust.

"I'll ask Ritsuka and Mashu to go to the spiritual vein. We can use the immense magical power there to summon reinforcements. Just leave this to them. Your Majesty doesn't need to come in person..."

Koizumi chuckled softly and said, "Indeed, Koizumi will ask Ritsuka and Mashu to go to Mount Etna to summon the Heroic Spirits."

Koizumi just remembered something: using the summoning circle set up at the spiritual vein, reinforcements could be summoned from Chaldea.

This is why, after Sakuya brought the black tea from Chaldea, Koizumi realized that he could use it to summon Heroic Spirits, summoning Heroic Servants from Chaldea to this era, in order to avoid the problem of too many Roman Heroic Spirits.

Judging from Arthur's character, he has no interest in those Roman heroes, so he will only deal with Nero and not other heroes. So at this time, it is necessary for me and others to take action.

Whether it was Romulus or any other Roman hero, their numbers alone were enough to overwhelm his group.

Therefore, in order to avoid a group attack, Koizumi decided that it was necessary to summon reinforcements from Chaldea.

What if Boudica is not strong enough and only wants to seek revenge on Nero? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

It is precisely to avoid such accidents that Koizumi needs reinforcements.

Furthermore, Koizumi's three-stroke Command Seal can directly summon a Heroic Spirit from his own Chaldea to help.

What's more, the Heroic Spirits on Koizumi's side are all very powerful. Whether it's Remlia, Ruler Reimu, or the manjutenshi, they can all fight two at once, so Ritsuka only needs to summon one or two heroes from Chaldea.

Hearing this, Nero couldn't help but reveal a look of realization on his face. So that's how it is...

"Well, I also saw from the battle report that there are also beings called Heroic Spirits on Boudica's side. They should be the heroic spirits of Britannia... After all, my devastation of Britannia is not only hated by Boudica..." As he spoke, Nero closed his eyes slightly and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Koizumi was slightly startled. He glanced at Nero briefly but didn't say anything.

This guy is definitely not a Heroic Spirit, otherwise why would he mention the existence of a [Heroic Spirit], or is he doing it on purpose?

No, after leaving Rome, his sensing ability had almost recovered. After all, Rome's shielding against the sensing abilities of Koizumi and the others was very strong. Even Patchouli's detection ability was completely lost after entering Rome. When facing Seneca and the others, she could only sense that they were human, and could not detect anything else.

Perhaps all the perceptions within the city of Rome were deliberately created by the city of Rome...

Patchouli's eyes turned to Nero, and the magic book in her hand suddenly emitted a faint light.

The next moment, Patchouli frowned slightly. According to her perception, the other person still had the breath of a human.

What's going on? Wait a minute... there seems to be some other strange aura mixed in... it's not purely human!

Patchouli's heart sank. It seemed that it was the right thing to communicate with the guy named Arthur before.

Silently, Patchouli closed her magic book and glanced at the calm Koizumi before sighing inwardly. It seemed like he had guessed something, so there was no need for her to say anything more.

Koizumi also used his sensory abilities slightly, but even Patchouli didn't notice anything unusual, so how could Koizumi detect any special aura? However, Koizumi subconsciously showed a hint of fear.

For some reason, a hint of fear inexplicably arose in Koizumi's heart.

Exhaling a breath of foul air, Gu Quan shook his head slightly, suppressing the fear in his heart.

I was really scared by the incident in the second singularity, the Journey to the West. It was really a headache.

"What's wrong, magician? Is there something dirty on my face? Hmm! I can't let filth stain my beauty that is as beautiful as Venus!" Nero's emerald green pupils turned, and a trace of panic appeared on her face. It must be admitted that she was quite narcissistic, claiming that she had a beauty comparable to Venus.

Although she is indeed quite beautiful, after all, Nero looks almost exactly like Artoria. However, as the Knight King, Artoria's heroic aura overshadows her beauty. When she wears men's clothes, few people can tell that she is a woman. But Nero is different. The feminine features on her body are very obvious. The bulge alone proves everything!

So Koizumi thinks these people are blind! They're clearly a woman, yet they're listed as a man! Don't they feel guilty about writing this? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe...

"I was only slightly captivated by your Majesty's beauty. I beg your Majesty to forgive me..."

Koizumi gave a wry laugh. "I can't say I sensed a hint of danger when I sensed your aura..."

Koizumi couldn't bring himself to say such a thing, as Nero would definitely take it as an offense!

He took the opportunity to praise Nero, believing that Nero would not care about these things. Koizumi also noticed that Nero sometimes showed a childlike temper, and this temper was destined to be shown only to Koizumi and others who were not involved in Roman politics.

Patchouli rolled her eyes. "Even if you tell a lie, you should draft it." There are many beautiful women in Chaldea who are as beautiful as Nero. How could you be so captivated by Nero's beauty? You're overthinking it!

Youyouzi (Journey to the West) was also slightly stunned. What does Koizumi mean? Is he attracted to His Majesty Nero?

Thinking of this, Youyouzi (Journey to the West) showed a look of loss on his face...

As Koizumi expected, after hearing these words, Nero was not only not angry, but also looked proud.

"Hmm! I possess a beauty comparable to the goddess Venus, so it's only natural that you would be fascinated by it! Hmm! In that case, I will forgive your sins!"

Hearing this, Koizumi couldn't help but cover his forehead.

Well! This guy is indeed a narcissist!

Chapter 571: Being on Guard...

"As expected, they're being watched..." As Koizumi had expected, Caesar and the others had become wary of Nero after bringing him to Gaul. They had their reasons for wanting Nero to stay in Rome. It was likely that Rome was someone's base, and keeping Nero there was also a way to protect him from losing his memory.

This is a normal thing, but Caesar has no reason to blame Koizumi, because Nero would not blame Koizumi.

Nero has no memory of this and is not aware of the inside story. So even if Caesar blames Koizumi and the others, Nero will not blame Koizumi, because these decisions were made by Nero herself and have nothing to do with Koizumi.

Although Koizumi proposed this strategy, Nero was the one who decided on it.

So no matter what, even if Caesar blames Koizumi in his heart, it will be useless. At most, he will be wary of Koizumi.

That's right, at most we have to be on guard, because given the current situation, bringing Nero out is actually the most appropriate tactic.

It was a good idea to use Boudica's hatred for Nero to lure Boudica into our trap.

Therefore, Caesar could only be on guard, because he had no idea that Koizumi was here to restore history. If he had known about this, he would probably have fallen out with Koizumi. After all, when he saw Caesar learn that Nero had left Rome, the bloodshot light in Caesar's eyes flashed, and Koizumi instantly caught his eye.

Caesar is definitely not a Servant simply summoned by the world. It is very likely...

"That's perfectly normal. The Roman Heroes also have secrets we can't know... Just as we initially thought, this time, both Boudica and Nero are our enemies!" Patchouli's voice echoed in Koizumi's ears. Patchouli seemed quite calm, after all, everyone had speculated about this from the beginning.

Although this speculation was what Koizumi and the others least wanted, it now appeared to be the truth.

Patchouli glanced at Nero who was discussing matters with everyone, but didn't say much.

"You scared me to death! I thought you were going to speak suddenly!" Gu Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

Patchouli glanced at Koizumi and subconsciously rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

With so many heroes here, whether it's Romulus or Caligula, if they all said what they needed to say, wouldn't it be a falling out right now, with everyone just starting to fight right here...

"Mr. Magician! How do you think we should fight Boudica next?" Nero's voice suddenly sounded.

Koizumi, distracted at first, was momentarily stunned. Then, noticing Nero's rather displeased expression, Koizumi quickly addressed him, "There's no need to overthink it, Your Majesty. Wherever Your Majesty is, Boudica will be there too! Your Majesty, all you need to do is patrol the front lines!"

That's right, as long as Nero is there, Boudica will go to where Nero is no matter what.

Even if Boudica didn't want to go, there would be someone around her who would encourage her to go, and that person was Arthur!

Therefore, Koizumi does not need to worry about Boudica not acting as we think. All we need to do next is wait for Boudica to arrive, but this may put Nero in danger.

Hearing this, Nero was slightly stunned and fell silent for a moment. She understood what Koizumi meant.

To put it simply and crudely, Gu Quan's meaning was to use himself, the emperor, as bait.

Although she was a little dissatisfied, Nero could accept it because this was why she came to the front line.

As for the current meeting, it is just to discuss the specific situation on the front line and everyone's thoughts.

As an emperor, he must also understand these things... That's what Nero thought in his heart.

"Magician! You're even more capable than I imagined! But using me as bait is truly audacious! Are you prepared to withstand the Emperor's wrath if you fail?"

Nero's eyes narrowed slightly, and her smooth legs crossed. Her transparent long skirt vaguely exposed some of her body parts directly to Koizumi's eyes, because the angle was just right... uh...

Koizumi's mouth twitched fiercely. "Be careful with your posture, okay? It's easy to expose yourself!"

As an emperor, is it really okay for you to just casually distribute welfare benefits like this? Gu Quan was speechless.

Although he was speechless, since Nero had spoken so majestically, Koizumi couldn't help but respond. "Since I dared to propose this tactic, there will naturally be no accidents! This battle is bound to be victorious!"

Koizumi's face radiated confidence; he never fought a battle without confidence! Even when the battle actually began, he often felt uncertain. After all, the battlefield was a volatile place, wasn't it? If a fight truly broke out, the outcome couldn't be certain... Even a god of war couldn't guarantee victory before the actual battle began.

Patchouli glanced at Koizumi and said, "You're so sure of what you say. Be careful not to poison yourself with the poisonous milk!"

Remi often does this and ends up losing all her authority... Be careful not to become like her!

Hearing this, Nero's lips curled up slightly. Since Koizumi was so sure, then this wave was a sure thing!

Nero had a great fondness for the man who had helped Rome. It was a pity that this guy was not interested in fame and his recruitment had been of no use so far, which really made Nero depressed!

"In that case! I'll take the risk for a while! And if possible, I also want to meet Boudica!"

At the end of his speech, Nero's voice became a little gloomy, which made Caesar and others who wanted to speak shut up immediately. Because they all knew what happened between Nero and Boudica, they would not say anything.

It should be said that it was Boudica's hatred for Nero, which should be resolved by Nero himself.

And since Nero had said this, it was not easy for them to disobey Nero, but——

Caesar looked at Koizumi deeply, and his doubts about Koizumi's identity became even stronger!

It's clear that Koizumi intends to send Nero to the battlefield, but is this purely to resolve the stalemate in the war ahead, or is he doing this with the intention of doing something detrimental to Rome?

Caesar had no idea. Although he was good at talking, since Koizumi had no intention of talking to him, he couldn't get anything out of him.

He hadn't been able to extract any useful information from Koizumi's previous conversation with him.

"Hmm! Magician, can you accompany me for a walk? I have something to talk to you, Magician!"

Suddenly, to the astonishment of Koizumi, Patchouli, and Yuyuko (Xixingyao), Nero made this request.

Chapter 572: Gu Quan: I am not a Roman subject, why should I be afraid?

Walking in front of Koizumi, Nero remained silent, which made Koizumi very confused.

What did Nero want to talk to me about? Could it be that he saw that I had some bad thoughts about her! So he wanted to talk to me in private? No! This emperor is not that kind of guy. As long as there is a threat to her! No matter how much he admires me in his heart, he will not show mercy to me! So there is no way this guy would call me out in private.

"There's a vicious beast living in my heart! That's what the God Ancestor said to me when he descended!"

Koizumi, who was distracted at first, was startled by Nero's words. Nero said there was a beast within her? Could it be that I had sensed that terrifying aura earlier?

Is this what the God-Ancestor Romulus said to Nero? Koizumi frowned slightly and began to ponder.

Nero seemed unaware of Koizumi's abnormality, his eyes fixed in a certain direction with deep intent.

"I don't know when, but the world started to feel a little strange to me... The arrival of the God Ancestor and his companions, Boudica's return from Hades, and the scene of me committing suicide in the wilderness that flashed through my mind from time to time..."

Nero's tone was filled with deep loneliness, as if he wanted to pour out his inner feelings to Koizumi beside him.

The next moment, Nero cast his emerald green eyes towards Koizumi, with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.

Koizumi didn't say anything, but simply stood silently beside Nero, listening to him, not intending to say much. Sometimes, if you want to be a good listener, you shouldn't comment on the other person's affairs.

Seeing that Koizumi didn't say much and seemed a little impatient, Nero continued speaking.

"Magician! Why do you think I would say these seemingly unnecessary words to you?"

"Because I haven't entered the political center of Rome?" Koizumi asked tentatively.

"You're the first person to refuse such authority without hesitation when I offered it! I admire your indifference to power, but I'm also dissatisfied! Because no matter what, you're unwilling to stay in Rome and serve me after the war!"

Nero made no secret of his displeasure, but his displeasure did not prevent him from admiring Koizumi.

Koizumi couldn't help but scratch his head. Nero was such a headache. Why did he always focus on me?

After all, Nero is doomed to die. Even if this era is yours to rule, you will be dead sooner or later...

Well! It’s not good for me to be so heartless. After all, he thinks highly of me. Isn’t that the truth?

"I'm terribly sorry... I'm not interested in power..." Koizumi said calmly.

No matter what, Koizumi has more important things to do and cannot stop here. What's more, Flandre Koizumi has not been rescued yet, so how can he stay in Rome? No matter what, he can't let Remi down!

Hearing this, Nero couldn't help but let out a wry smile, and glared at Koizumi with his emerald green eyes.

Nero was used to seeing those power-hungry guys in Rome, so when he suddenly encountered such a guy, he was helpless.

The other party was not a Roman citizen, so Nero could not do anything to him. In addition, Nero himself admired Koizumi.

Since he admired her, Nero himself didn't intend to force her, so he could only continue to use his power to persuade her...

"You are really peculiar. In my Rome, there is no one who does not covet power! Should I say that you are indifferent to fame and fortune or that you have no ambition... I really have nothing to say..." Nero shook his head and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, please assume that I have no great ambitions... Compared to a life of fame and fortune, I prefer a more ordinary life... Wandering freely between heaven and earth, wouldn't that be wonderful..."

Koizumi chuckled, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. If possible, he wanted to live such a free and easy life with Remi and the others, without any annoying things being pushed onto them. How relaxing and leisurely.

However, Koizumi is not a shameless person like Hakurei Reimu, and he still cannot let go of his own responsibilities.

Although resolving these worlds' singularities isn't his responsibility, since it's Yakumo Yukari's request, Koizumi will see it through to the end. This is Koizumi's sense of responsibility...

After this matter is resolved, Koizumi might choose to relax a bit... go to Gensokyo for a visit or something... Koizumi is still very much looking forward to his future life in Gensokyo.
