"...Director...do you want to do it?"
Panting slightly, the red-haired girl tugged at the combat uniform that was clinging to her body due to sweat.
If Animusfia didn't like the color of this tights, he might not be able to hold on any longer.
"Um."
Animusfia nodded, acquiescing to what Ritsuka said.
"Here, right now?"
"Um."
The response was so low that it was almost undetectable except for the vibration.
Animusfia was always shy at times like this.
"Really...there's nothing we can do about you."
A few drops of sweat dripped from the tip of Ritsuka's nose and hair. The hot and dry climate along the Mediterranean coast in summer meant that she and Animusfia could not escape the clutches of the heat wave even if they escaped the direct sunlight.
The narrow and dark carriage was like a huge steamer, and the body of the girl in front of Animusfiya began to fluctuate with the air.
"Don't make a mess like last time this time. Director, it will be difficult to clean up."
"I've always just done it."
"well......"
An inaudible sigh came from Lixiang's mouth.
"Director, you are really a heartless man."
"Why do you think I want to come here? Why do I want to be in this wilderness?"
"Oh, there's really nothing we can do."
After sighing the same words again, Ritsuka finally let Animusfia do whatever she wanted.
"Then do it, Director."
In the hot weather, the two people's breath became heavy again.
They breathed the same air that the other had breathed.
"Hey! Just enough is enough!"
The curtain covering the carriage was torn open, and Nero's somewhat angry voice reached the ears of Animusfia and Ritsuka.
Immediately afterwards, dazzling sunlight shone in through the gap in the door curtain, and all the fluff and dust floating in the carriage had nowhere to hide.
Also appearing with him were Animusfia, who was trying to snatch her suitcase from the student, and Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was unwilling to hand it over to him so easily.
A figure was standing angrily in front of the door of the carriage that had stopped, with arms akimbo, blocking part of the light and forcing Animusfia to squint to adapt to the sudden change in light.
"Ah————! Eyes!"
But his lovely student wasn't so lucky.
Fujimaru Ritsuka covered her eyes and rolled around in the car.
During the long evolution process, most mammals have only two-color vision, that is, red and green blindness, because they stay diurnal and come out at night.
However, primates represented by humans have re-evolved trichromatic vision in order to collect ripe fruits.
It is said that a small number of human women also have tetrachromatic vision, which is more sensitive to changes in the wavelength of light.
Maybe Ritsuka is among the small group of women with four-color vision.
But Animusfia felt that she was just pretending.
After all, it wasn't the first time he had seen this little girl's exaggerated performance.
"What happened? Your Majesty."
Picking up the suitcase that no one was holding because the original owner was rolling on the ground, Animusfia looked at Nero who was standing at the door of the carriage.
"You asked me what's wrong...Governor, what are you doing with your disciples?"
"It's a student, Your Majesty."
Animusfia managed to stand still in the carriage that was vibrating due to the girl rolling under her feet, and corrected Nero.
"I don't care whether she is a disciple or a student. You and her lines are too bad! What are you doing!"
Nero stepped aside, and the red-faced Eggplant junior was exposed in front of Animusfia.
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but even Artoria, who usually kept her emotions in check, blushed a little.
It seems that the atmosphere between him and Ritsuka in the carriage just now can indeed create ambiguity.
"I'm getting the suitcase, Your Majesty."
Animusfia explained to Nero righteously.
At the same time, he also showed his Majesty the suitcase in his hand...and the huge and thick instruction manual that could not fit into the suitcase.
Apparently, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't just bring Animusfia's suitcase when she came, but she also accepted Leonardo da Vinci's entrustment and brought his instructions for using his prosthetic limbs.
This should be of great help to Animusfia.
Although Animusfia alone has certain mechanical construction capabilities and can maintain his metal left hand on a daily basis, it is obvious that Animusfia cannot fully master the precision instruments produced by the genius Leonardo da Vinci. His new prosthetic leg.
Especially after experiencing so many battles, he could clearly detect that some parts inside his left arm had fallen loose.
Although it didn't affect the general use, the inexplicable subtle noises always made him very unhappy.
Just like the computer fan that used to run normally every day, suddenly one day it made a noise similar to that of a motorcycle, which was unpleasant.
Speaking of this, something rolling under her feet also made Animusfia feel quite irritable.
"Hey, Ritsuka, it's almost time to stop."
Animusfia knelt down and supported the red-haired girl's body helplessly.
If it weren't for the fact that she was Animusfia's only current student, Animusfia might have stepped on her.
He had already anticipated his reaction when Sextus or Seneca and other senators in the Senate did this.
But Seneca probably wouldn't do that.
"Director, the sun——————, the sun——————!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka hid behind Animusfia with tears in her eyes, staying away from the sunlight behind Nero as if she was afraid of some wild beast.
"You too! Stay away from Governor Yu!"
"Why?"
"Humph, the Governor is Yu's slave, in other words, he is Yu's property! Is there a problem with Yu asking you to stay away from Yu's things?"
It seems that the regular series is about to start again.
"Well...it seems to make some sense."
"Hmm! Now that you know, you should stay away from the Governor as soon as possible. Since you are the Governor's disciple, it is not impossible for me to give you something else as compensation."
".......compensate?"
Ritsuka walked out from behind Animusfia and slowly asked Nero with a look of attraction.
"Hmm! As the Augustus of Rome, I will definitely not break my promise."
Nero looked like he had everything in the empire.
Ritsuka's Adam's apple, which was not prominent for a girl, still twitched visibly.
"…a reward from Augustus, really?"
"Of course."
Ritsuka took a few steps forward and came to Nero. She turned to look at Animusfia.
"As long as I give up this man, you... no, will you really give me a reward from Augustus as compensation?"
Animusfia watched all this with cold eyes.
It's almost time to see the picture.
"Well, believe me, Nero Germanicus Claudius will never break his promise! As long as you are willing to give up the governor, I will give you a reward commensurate with my royal disciples."
Why does it feel like Nero has regarded Ritsuka as her own disciple? Shouldn't she be his student?
Animusfia was confused.
Turning the perspective back to Ritsuka, after hearing Nero's words, she who seemed to be tempted seemed even more shaken.
Nero's smile even appeared on his face.
If the relationship between the Governor and the red lancer is irreparable, at least the possibility of others developing a deeper relationship with the Governor in the future should be eliminated here.
Although Nero didn't care that Animusfia had other lovers as long as he retained his royal title, the fewer the better.
Otherwise the situation will get very bad when her jealousy flares up.
But Animusfia felt that it was too early for her to be happy.
"But I refuse!"
Ritsuka went against his previous wavering and decisively rejected the proposal from Nero.
At the same time, he tightly hugged Animusfia with his arms like a passerby hugging a telegraph pole during a typhoon.
While hugging him, he turned around to challenge Nero.
"Slightly~"
"Ah! Yu Du said, you guy, let go of the governor!"
"So I said it too! I refuse!"
Ritsuka said word for word.
"To put it bluntly, you just expressed your opinion, but the director has never expressed his own opinion! It should be the director's decision whether I can stay with the director, right?"
she added ruthlessly.
"Eh........"
Nero was speechless for a moment.
"But, but Yu is obviously the governor's master (Dominus)... Yu can control the governor, right..."
"Even so, do you really have the heart to let the director do something he doesn't want to do? Let the director make a mistake that he doesn't want to make, and let the director stay away from his beloved! Is this Is it the bond between you and the director!"
"No, of course I didn't mean that!..."
The affairs of Florence and Masseria came again to Nero's mind.
The red-haired sister became even more proud after seeing Nero's predicament.
Hum hum, the emperor of Rome is still too young.
she thought.
“Since you think so too, so——————”
Having gained the upper hand, Ritsuka pursues him.
"It's completely reasonable and not allowed for me to stay by the director's side like this, isn't it?"
Animusfia sighed helplessly.
"But I refuse!"
"Eh--------!"
The rejection from Animusfia made Ritsuka turn to look at him in shock.
"Your theory seems complete, Ritsuka, but you also didn't take my personal opinions into consideration."
"Why! Director! Why would you refuse a Hot&Sexy girl like me to stay by your side!"
"I don't know if you're sexy or not. Hot is hot enough. Get off quickly. I'm about to have heat stroke, Ritsuka."
"Eh----------!"
Animusfia let out another long sigh and tried to pull the girl's arm tightly around her body.
"Take your magical powers, great sage."
Animusfia patted the back of Ritsuka's hand again, signaling her surrender.
"Okay~~"
Finally, Ritsuka reluctantly left Animusfia's side.
But she still didn't want to leave the narrow and dark compartment.
"Hmm, look, disciple. Sure enough, I am more important in the governor's heart!"
Nero looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka as if he had won a war.
"ha?"
The two girls faced each other again.
Although Nero is now five years older than Ritsuka and only one year younger than Animusfia, there is absolutely no difference between them.
He was usually a reliable emperor, but when the switch was turned on, he completely turned into a child.
Thinking of this, Animusfia couldn't help stroking her face.
Why are the women around him so much smaller than him, both mentally and physically?
Even Eliza is actually six years older than Nadasdy.
But Animusfia obviously likes the intellectual and gentle ol big sister... Sometimes it's not impossible to be strict.
Animusfia looked back at Ritsuka and Nero who were fighting, but the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously.
It would be nice if these two could stay like this without him.
Maybe the relationship will be more harmonious.
..... Judging from Nero and Ritsuka's temperaments, it's not surprising that what happened like this happened.
A slightly taboo image appeared in Animusfia's mind.
It's just that he didn't exist in that vision, which was a pity.
However, Animusfia keenly discovered that no matter how much her students fought with Nero, the girl never took a step out of the carriage.
"What are you doing, Ritsuka. Come out quickly, you'll get heat stroke."
"No. It's hotter outside."
"Although it's a little hot, the air is circulating. It's better than the steam oven inside."
"I reject!"
The girl shook her head resolutely.
"real?"
Animusfia's slightly threatening tone regained some of Fujimaru Ritsuka's concentration.
"...Director, I actually have a disease that turns me into ashes when exposed to the sun."
"Then do you still have the disease of turning into stone statues when exposed to the cold wind in winter? Are you a fly person?"
Animusfia's words touched Ritsuka's weak heart.
"Who's a fly! That's so disgusting... I'm talking about a vampire!"
Animusfia, who heard Ritsuka's excuse, immediately pointed at Elizabeth Bathory, who was lying on the ground helplessly in the sun.
"It's going to be grilled dragon steak...Help, Ferenz..."
Elizabeth flapped her wings to bring herself some breeze, while her tail drooped listlessly on the ground.
Although she has the advantage of having wings to fan the wind compared to others, her dislike of sunlight makes Elizabeth the most depressed among the group.
"Aren't real vampires out there? Do you have the nerve to say that?"
"They're not vampires! They're dragons!"
Animusfia accidentally hit a landmine again and successfully awakened the vampire dragon sealed by the sun.
"I'm sorry, Eliza." However, the memory inherited from Nadasdi Ferenc allowed Animusfia to deal with her former first wife calmly.
He fanned Elizabeth and apologized sincerely.
"Hmph, I'll spare you this time."
Fujimaru Ritsuka finally came out reluctantly at the urging of Animusfia.
"Let's act quickly. After my technique is completed, we can return to Rome, right?"
"Why do we have to come with the director? Why don't you just come by yourself?"
Ritsuka soon fell into the same situation as Elizabeth, lying on the ground and asking Animusfiya listlessly.
One has to wonder whether she really has any resemblance to Countess Camilla.
"That's what I thought at first. I don't know who it is, but they refuse to hand over my suitcase to me, and they insist on coming with me no matter what."
Animusfia said angrily.
"Ah, that's what it sounds like."
Fujimaru Ritsuka remembered what happened last night.
It obviously happened ten hours ago, but she didn't know why it felt like a long time had passed. Was it really because of the damn weather?
Now that I think about it, it seems that her original wish was to spend time together with the director to make up for her falling progress in the strategy.
It was a long-awaited trip with only her and the director. Of course, it was not impossible to take Matthew and Saber with her, even though she didn't want to take them with her.
Who would have thought it was so hot?
And after hearing that she was coming together, Nero and Elizabeth also came together.
It eventually evolved into the current situation.
Damn it!
How can she make up for the progress she missed if this continues?
If this continues, the director's poor student will become the last one.
But then I thought about it, she and Saber Mash were the only ones who could finally follow the director back to Chaldea.
Elizabeth Bathory and Emperor Nero of Rome would not be able to follow him to Chaldea no matter how much they liked him.
So the current victory or defeat is only temporary, and the final winner is Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Thinking of this, Lixiang felt much better inside. Animusfia sighed with a headache. He couldn't count how many times he sighed.
Forcing herself not to think about Ritsuka Nero and Elisa's problems, Animusfia focused her magic power on the prosthetic limb in her hand.
Then it hit the ground hard.
Loud noises and thunder were heard at the same time.
"oh!"
Ritsuka was surprised to see Animusfia act like this for the first time.
Animusfia was also secretly proud of this. He was no longer the mortal who could only rely on magic and servants to mediate.
There is no need to dig a hole out of breath while carrying a shovel.
With just a little movement, a huge pit appeared on the ground.
Animusfia took the uranium ore that had been added to his suitcase from Chaldea's inventory and began to perform magic.
The dark ripples spread out around Animusfia, gradually forming a dark spherical space.
The bright stars lit up inside the ball.
Then came the appearance of the sun, the most important and largest celestial body in the solar system, and then layers of dense nebulae, with dense matter wrapped in the nebulae.
Planets begin to form.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus.
Under the influence of the gravity of Saturn that appeared later, Jupiter, which once affected the Earth and Mars, was pulled away.
Eventually, the positions of the major planetary bodies were basically stable.
More dwarf planets such as Makemake and Ceres began to appear.
Pluto and Charon began to orbit each other.
Secondary structures such as the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud also began to form.
Finally, a more complete solar system model appeared in front of everyone in Chaldea.
If the last time Animusfia's pseudo-celestial sphere was similar to a toy model for children's popular science, then what is displayed in front of everyone this time is almost a gorgeous small world.
"This is....."
Matthew couldn't help but marvel at this.
"Oh, I'm not static either."
Animusfia nodded proudly and recited the familiar spell.
“Uranium, Uranus, Earth, Gaia, Gods, Animus, Cosmos. Anima, Animsphere (God is the void)”
The familiar yet terrifying shadow of a huge planet, which is a test every time it is seen, appears again in the sky above the Earth.
The halo that enveloped the sky sadly looked like a toy in front of the phantom of the planet.
It's like a mythical story that a bard who has never seen the world tried his best to make up - even though he put in all his efforts, it still seems ridiculous.
The turquoise appearance and almost invisible rings highlight the true identity of this planet.
Uranus——Uranus.
"Ah, no matter how many times I see this scene, it always feels like I'm dreaming."
Roman sighed as he watched the images transmitted back from the singularity in the control room in Chaldea.
"Everyone, hide behind Mashu's shield."
After issuing a warning, Animusfia threw the uranium ore (Uranium) in her hand into the huge pit in front of her. Almost the next second, a huge light pillar fell from the sky, connecting the earth with the phantom outside the sky. together.
The air that instantly expanded and squeezed out completely broke the surrounding trees.
Only the shield that Matthew had prepared long ago left a sense of peace.
Fortunately, this scene did not last long, and soon a larger planet's shadow appeared, cutting off the connection between Uranus and the Earth.
That's Jupiter.
Otherwise, even Mashu wouldn't be able to withstand such pressure for too long.
Animusfia released her celestial magic, and everything was as if it had never happened.
Only the vitrified pit and the transparent crystal spear standing in the center of the pit proved that everything was not a dream.
"call------"
Animusfia let out a long sigh of relief, then jumped into the pit, and very lightly regained hold of the weapon she had been away from for a long time.
The magic power within it is comparable to that of the Holy Grail's Spear of Uranus.
