"Master——————?!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed after hearing Animusfia's words.
Nero stood proudly, with his hands on his hips and chest puffed out.
"...Director of Animusfia and...Emperor Nero?"
Matthew's eyes flickered back and forth between Animusfia, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and Nero, whose face was full of joy.
"So who is the director of Animusfia now?"
"I'm almost the same as you, Mash. However, I am not a Demi Servant in the Chaldean Plan in which the will of the heroic spirit is completely suppressed, but a pseudo-servant who has reached a consensus with the will of the heroic spirit itself in the spiritual base. .”
Animusfia said lightly, and at the same time, a feather fan appeared out of thin air in his hand.
That was exactly the spiritual outfit that Zhou Yu was supposed to possess, similar to the heavy armor on Artoria and the revealing outfit on Mash.
The counterpart of Zhou Yu is the classic feather fan scarf, with the image of the oar and oar being turned into ashes while talking and laughing.
However, it was Animusfiya who dominated Zhou Yu's appearance this time, so he did not dress like Zhou Yu on weekdays.
In fact, the result of the Sub-Servant Plan that Chaldea has been leading is the current state of Animusfia.
Use the consciousness of the living to master the power of the servant.
However, the only test subject that successfully survived was Mash Kirilet. Although the spirit base that was summoned and attached to Mash could not occupy a dominant position, due to her own rejection, Mash was no different from an ordinary girl. .
Until he was involved in an explosion caused by Leif in Chaldea, Galahad, who could not sit back and let an innocent girl die like this, completely handed over his spiritual power and Noble Phantasm to Mashu, and his own consciousness returned. In the seat.
From then on, Mash can be said to have completely become a Servant, but his body still retains the limitations and advantages of a living person. Although he is not Galahad, he is still Galahad, named Mash Kirilet. of Galahad.
Chaldea’s long-cherished wish was fulfilled.
From Animusfia's understanding, it was account hacking.
However, with the level of a heroic spirit, it is impossible for a mere human magic to usurp the spiritual foundation. Therefore, only with the consent of the servant himself can the android girl who relies on it finally obtain the spiritual foundation.
The situation of Animusfia and Zhou Yu is more primitive. It's just that Animusfia has Zhou Yu's tacit approval to use his power.
If Zhou Yu wanted to, he could take over control of Animusfia's body at any time, and he could refuse to provide power to Animusfia at any time.
But that's not how things work. Without the holy relics, the summons depends entirely on fate. Animusfia's compatibility is very good with the Grand Governor named Zhou Gongjin, and only two people like that can become pseudo-servers. status.
It is simply impossible for the dilemma that occurred in the previous experiments in Chaldea to occur.
Just like natural two-headed ogres don't quarrel with each other, but acquired two-headed ogres forcibly created by infusion of arcane energy will fight among themselves.
"Don't use such an old example. No one can understand it. Director."
"I didn't give you an example at all! Don't break the third wall without permission."
Animusfia gently tapped the red-haired girl's forehead again.
This time she didn't act exaggeratedly.
Nero tilted his head and blinked, looking at the two of them with some confusion.
On the contrary, Leonardo da Vinci and Roman in the control room changed their expressions after hearing Animusfia's words about "sub-servants" and looked at each other.
They didn't know how Animusfia knew these Chaldean secrets.
Even if Animusfia had obtained the authority of the director, Roman and Leonardo did not deliberately hide these dark histories from Animusfia, but Animusfia actually There was no investigation into matters related to Matthew.
Then the situation is clear. Long before he came to Chaldea, Animusfiya had a considerable understanding of the affairs in Chaldea.
Although Animusfia claimed to be the last legitimate heir of the Animusfia family, no one except Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu believed his claims.
At least Roman and Leonardo found it difficult to remain calm after learning the beginning and end of the Chaldean Central Asian Servant experiment.
All they could do was to let Mashu be treated as much as possible like ordinary people in Chaldea.
But in the end, Matthew spent most of his life in the man-made facilities in Antarctica that never saw the light of day, and never even saw the real sky.
Even though Mashu finally left the Antarctic and came to the singularity, there was still an inappropriately huge circular halo in the sky.
Hearing Animusfiya's explanation, even Matthew was stunned, knowing that she had always intentionally avoided these topics.
Even Fujimaru Ritsuka has never known the truth of the matter until now.
Others in Chaldea would also pay more or less attention to Mashu's reaction when talking about these things.
Although Ma Xiu could feel their concern, he felt that they were somewhat unnaturally deliberate.
On the contrary, Mashu felt more real when he was next to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had no idea and had no taboos.
Matthew originally thought that Animusfia didn't know about it either. But that doesn't seem to be the case now.
But Matthew didn’t feel any sadness or pity from Animusfia——This is not to say that he was indifferent, Animusfia just treated everyone like any other person. Treat Matthew like a human being.
Treat everyone equally.
This is exactly what she hoped for.
"Is that so...then Director Animusfia currently holds the spiritual foundation of that hero?"
Matthew straightened his expression and asked Animusfia again.
"Hmm——! This brings us to the topic that I know. The governor's real name... his real name is... Qiu... No, Jiu, hmm... That's not right either."
Nero was speaking confidently just now, but in the middle of the sentence he couldn't read any more.
It seems that for Latin tongues, Zhou Gongjin's difficult-to-pronounce name is really a challenge.
"It's Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, Your Majesty. But it's not my real name, it's just the real name of the heroic spirit in the spiritual foundation."
"Hmm, it's Zhou Gongjin!"
As if he didn't care that Animusfia had already explained it, Nero proudly introduced it to everyone in Chaldea.
"Has she always been like this?"
Roman in the video asked Animusfia in a low voice.
"Get used to it."
"No, this still doesn't explain it! Even if the director becomes a pseudo-server, why is she the master?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Animusfia.
"What's the matter? Do you have any dissatisfaction with my master who is now the governor?"
The last Master of mankind and Emperor 666 of Rome were face to face again.
Seneca, who had a headache, seemed to have left first.
Animusfia thought too.
"If you become a follower, Director, you should be my follower no matter what, right? Aren't we masters and disciples? Let's break the contract with this unreasonable emperor and become my servant, Director. "
Ritsuka asked, turning her head towards Animusfia.
"Are you still embarrassed to mention it... How can you ask the teacher to be your servant? And you must do something strange with the command spell. Please forgive me for refusing."
"Humph, now you know the difference, disciple. The Governor was summoned by Yu and volunteered to be Yu's servant. If you want, just go ahead and summon him yourself and see if the Governor will respond to you."
Nero said provocatively to the red-haired girl in front of him.
"The director would not voluntarily serve as a servant to an emperor like you, and who is his disciple!"
"Huh? Isn't it?"
Nero placed his index finger gently between his chin and neck, tilting his head slightly, looking thoughtful.
"Of course not!"
"Hmm, but you are the governor's disciple, right?"
"Why, do you want to do it too?"
"No, no, no, Yu will not be a disciple, which is far away from the governor. But as a disciple of the governor, you are naturally Yu's disciple, right? In that case Just salute me quickly, disciple."
Fujimaru Ritsuka gritted his teeth in a rare move, and even Mashu saw his master looking like this for the first time.
"Who is your disciple? Besides, the relationship between you and the director is even more distant! Since you are the master, act like a master and don't get so close to the servants!"
Animusfia looked at Mash, whose face turned red as she thought of something, and then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of her.
You are not qualified to say this.
In that case, just stay away from Eggplant Juniors.
Furthermore, Li Xiang and he were not in a relationship between monarch and minister. Could it be that they could stick together every day?
"A disciple like you is not qualified to be so close!"
Animusfia wanted to correct them that they were students, not disciples.
There is still a big gap between these two identities.
At least that's what Animusfia understood.
It seems that Nero will continue to argue with Ritsuka. Seneca has withdrawn, and Animusfia has no other reason to stay here.
Although he was the central protagonist of the conversation between the two, it was obvious that Animusfia had nothing to do with things developing to this point.
The dispute between the Soviet Union and Germany had nothing to do with Poland.
***********
"well."
Walking on the streets of Rome, Animusfia, wearing glasses, sighed.
"It seems like you're very welcome here."
Although no one could be seen, Roman's voice reached Animusfia's ears accurately.
"I can't help it. If I want people to help me, I have to become popular."
Animusfia pointed to her statue not far away and shook her head helplessly.
"Even if it's a lie."
After saying this, Animusfia paused, then pointed to the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said:
"Besides, it's not without cost. At least that's all I can do if I want to travel without being surrounded by people worshiping me."
"Have you considered working as a reporter at Daily Planet?"
"No thanks, I'm already in Gotham City as Batman's counterpart."
"That's really a pity. Central City also lacks a character with high IQ."
"It's a pity that I'm not a gorilla."
Animusfia said angrily.
"Well, I did draw inspiration from Superman. There is a magic circle to disperse idlers engraved on these glasses. You only need to wear them - although it is not a perfect disguise, you can avoid most troubles. "
"I'm not talking about that level of welcome and trouble."
Roman's somewhat lazy voice came.
"The Emperor of Rome, Nero, must be quite fond of you."
"Ritsuka must like me quite a bit too, otherwise they wouldn't be able to quarrel."
Even now, Animusfia can't deny everything because of his self-denial. The reason why he was able to do so was almost entirely due to the student who attacked him at night and the emperor who could not be separated for even three hours...
No one would believe me if I said I didn't like him.
"So what are you going to do? Engraving the spell on your glasses to drive away idlers won't drive them away."
"I don't know, Roman. This is something I never thought about before coming here."
"Obviously you should think about it now, Mr. Director."
Animusfia was greatly benefited from the flattery from Roman.
"Then I think I should refuse them."
"...Why? Just because there are two?"
Hearing this, even Da Vinci, who was standing next to Roman, put his ear over curiously.
"This is not a problem. Wasn't there a certain king who had a thousand and one wives in the past? Even his father's concubines were not spared."
"..."
Roman felt offended.
"It was my brother... Absalom who attacked King David's concubines, not Solomon!"
"Well, those are not important. It is a fact that he did have a thousand and one wives, right? Besides, I didn't mention Solomon by name, so don't worry."
Animusfia sighed and continued:
"You know my physical condition. I'm just a passerby, Roman. Whether it's for Nero or Ritsuka, I won't stay long. ... I can't respond to them. It’s better to tell me what to do if I respond. I can’t continue to be responsible, and I don’t want anyone else to take my place.”
"Speaking of which, how do you get back to Chaldea? Let's talk about it first, Chaldea doesn't have the technology to bring you back from the singularity..."
Chaldea's spirit transfer technology is actually difficult to call a real transfer.
Instead, after Mash, Ritsuka and others entered the spirit child box, their information and bodies were turned into quantum-level "spirits", and then the same data was put into the singularity to be recombined.
This is why Mashu and Ritsuka always appear in mid-air at the singularity every time.
In fact, they can be regarded as clones in the singularity, and their real bodies were scattered in the spirit child basket.
Chaldea's job is to monitor the connection between the tiny particles in the spirit child box and the singularity between Mashu, Ritsuka and others.
Wait until the singularity point is over and then reorganize the particles in the spirit child box.
In fact, whether Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka are still the same persons is still subject to the philosophical question of the Ship of Theseus proposition.
But Chaldea won't think about this for the time being.
However, Animusfia didn't even enter the spirit child box this time, and Chaldea didn't even have a chance to recover him.
"You don't need to worry about that, Roman. Even if there is no spiritual transfer, I can still return to Chaldea."
"Director of Animusfia."
"But it doesn't matter, Leonardo."
"Who are you anyway?"
Animusfia smiled softly.
"Is this issue still important now?"
"Ah——————! I have found my talent!"
The girl's angry voice came from not far away.
It seemed like there was no way to hide.
Animusfia looked back and saw the flaming Rose Emperor coming with Fujimaru Ritsuka.
It seems that when faced with the disappearance of Animusfia, the two of them can temporarily put aside the gap.
A brief peace was reached.
"But can you have the heart to refuse?"
Facing Roman's question, Animusfia sighed again.
If he could only rely on his own experience of more than 20 years, Animusfiya would definitely not be able to refuse, however:
"Doctor Roman, have you ever heard of the story of Countess Camilla?"
Those memories that were more real than personal experience made Animusfia hesitate.
****************
The strange castle that appeared inexplicably near Mount Vesuvius and the strange howls that sounded every night had successfully broken down the psychological defenses of the surrounding officials, and finally they chose to contact Rome again.
It is said that Augustus in Rome successfully suppressed the rebellion in Gaul, and the governor of the Spanish province also returned his allegiance to her. This was also an important factor.
Just after the arrival of Chaldea, Mashu also needed to find a contact point for establishing spiritual veins and obtaining supplies from Chaldea. Mount Vesuvius, located above the spiritual veins, was also the best choice.
Therefore, Animusfia chose to act together with the people of Chaldea for the first time in a long time.
However------
"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to follow."
Animusfia looked at Nero who was guarding her like a puppy guarding its food and said helplessly.
"No, what if you, the Governor, were snatched away by an unfilial disciple? Why didn't you tell Yu Ru that you had such a dangerous disciple before?"
"This... Although Ritsuka is a little open, she is not dangerous."
"Yes! Speaking of which, you are the shameless one! Who would wear clothes like yours? The skirt is completely transparent, isn't it, this dirty emperor!"
The conversation was once again taken in a dangerous direction.
Animusfia's eyes involuntarily glanced at the exposed skin and ravines on Nero's back and waist.
In fact, few people can notice it.
But once you notice it, you can't help but sigh at the boldness of Nero's clothing.
It's really shameless.
"Ah! Director, don't look at it!"
"Humph, this is what you wear to show the governor, why don't you close your eyes."
"ha?"
Seeing the two of them stuck together again, Ma Xiu once again started to hurriedly dissuade him.
Animusfia once again withdrew from the incident. Ever since Nero began to quarrel with Fujimaru Ritsuka, there was rarely a person left in a daze in loneliness.
Maybe that's a good thing.
Arturia Pendragon Alter looked at him with interest.
"What's wrong? You don't often look like this, Saber."
"No, it's nothing. I just think you are somewhat similar to the former Sir Lancelot."
"Is this an insult, Lord King Arthur?"
After a moment of silence, the black Arturia slowly said:
"I am not a knight now, nor am I a king anymore...but, just think of it that way."
"Stop it, Lancelot will cry."
During the discussion, Animusfia and others also came to Mount Vesuvius, and the tall castle in the distance could clearly enter his field of vision.
"Why does this castle feel so familiar?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who has an excellent sixth sense, had already looked at the castle in front of him suspiciously in advance.
"Me too...."
Mashu, who had also entered Camilla's inherent barrier, also felt a sense of déjà vu.
"....Is that a stereo?"
The red-haired girl began to speculate again.
"Sound... sound... what is that?"
His Majesty Nero, who had never seen the instruments of the future, raised important questions.
"Well, how should I put it? It's the kind of machine that can amplify the sound of singing and speaking several times. It can also play music and the like, but it needs to be equipped with a microphone... A machine that can transmit the sound into Audio stuff.”
Ritsuka answered calmly.
It seemed that the two could still communicate well on issues that did not involve Animusfia.
"Ohhhhhh!"
Nero, who had an amazing artistic talent, instantly saw the prospects and future created by the combination of two wonderful instruments: sound and microphone.
"Isn't it that singing and drama can echo in my ears even in open places?! Governor! Let's go! I can't wait to see this magical artifact!"
Animusfia was stunned when she saw the castle.
Although this castle is very post-modern, even turning the entire watchtower into a sound system, there is no mistaking Animusfia.
You must know that the foundation of this city was almost laid by Animusfia.
This is his city of Chakhetis.
"Governor, why are you stopping and not leaving?"
"Your Majesty, can we return to Rome?"
"Hey————————, why? This castle hasn't been investigated yet, and the teleportation array you want to install hasn't been set up yet?"
"Yes, Director? What's wrong?"
"......nothing."
Animusfia just walked into the familiar yet unfamiliar castle.
"Why do you feel so familiar with this place, Director?"
After leading Nero and Chaldea's people back and forth in the castle for several times, Animusfia asked her lovely student where she got such a question.
"No, how could it be? Haven't we all been here several times?"
"That's what makes it suspicious! Director, why do you deliberately go around in circles! Besides, ordinary people won't get lost here at all, just walk into the hall! It's better to say that it's strange to be able to go around in circles here!"
Animusfia looked at the others, and Mash and Saber Alter nodded calmly.
He looked at Nero again.
However, what he didn't expect was that even Nero nodded sheepishly.
"..."
Animusfia was forcibly dragged into the hall by her disciples.
The first thing that catches the eye is a portrait of a Renaissance aristocratic couple.
Obviously he should be the owner of this castle.
"Why is the director drawn again? Who is this woman?"
Then of course, the red-haired girl started wailing.
"Who is it——————starting yelling at noon even though it is still noon. As an idol, rest time is very important... Ha————"
A voice that sounded extremely familiar to Animusfia sounded.
Animusfia slowly turned her head towards the area where the sound came from, like a rusty machine.
He was wrong, the situation could indeed be worse.
Elizabeth Bathory walked out of the room while yawning and rubbing her sleepy eyes. At the top of the stairs, she saw the people from Chaldea and Rome.
The first person to bear the brunt was Animusfia, who was standing at the front.
