Two days have passed since the day Animusfia reforged the Spear of Ouranos.
The armies that he dispersed across the province to deal with the living corpses produced by the war and his magical rituals that day also rushed back to Rome.
“In the name of Augustus you consecrate yourself from Chaldeas as guests and generals of the Roman people (PQR).
————————”
What? Someone asked where S (Senatus) went?
It has been sacrificed to S (Saturn Sethun) by the Governor.
Outside the city of Rome, on the grounds of the God of War named after Mars, Nero announced loudly in front of many officials and the reorganized First Legion of Romagna.
Animusfia and Seneca stood on the left and right sides of Nero respectively, looking at the three masters and servants of Fujimaru Ritsuka standing under the high platform.
After hearing Nero's announcement, Seneca and Animusfia looked at each other, and then gave a purple cloak to Mashu and Artoria respectively.
In this era, just seeing this rare purple color is enough to prove their identity.
However, Animusfia was not so luxurious as to use Phoenician purple wool, which was worth as much as gold, to dress two servants who would engage in fierce battles.
All it takes for them to fight seriously is that the cloak made of ordinary fabric will break in an instant.
Therefore, Animusfia actually extended the alloy cast from various metals into the shape of a cloak, and injected magic and a large amount of magic into it, making it look like it was made of cloth. cloak.
In fact, it is the second "shield" in defensive power after Mashu's shield of the round table.
As long as the damage is not at the level of the Liberation Noble Phantasm, attacks coming from behind can be basically ignored.
And because she re-created the Spear of Ouranos, Animusfia, who became "rich and wealthy", directly injected a huge amount of magic power into it.
Therefore, whether it is used as a power bank when command spells are in short supply or as a "backup hidden energy source" for carrying at critical moments, the cloak made by Animusfia can play a big role.
Glancing at Ritsuka Fujimaru who was standing between Mash and Artoria Alter at a loss, Animusfia gestured to her to be calm from an angle that no one else could see, and then turned around and walked back From the high platform, he took out another cloak.
Although Chaldea's battle attire can already provide a lot of protection for the girl, Ritsuka is different from servants like Mash, Artoria, and Elizabeth who are not here at the moment.
Therefore, Animusfia prepared for her the same cloak that provided extra protection as Mash and Artoria, and also prepared something else for her.
Although the Mercury pendant made for her last time is still hung on Ritsuka's chest as a souvenir, that dress was a disposable item when Animusfia was first made, so it has long lost its original function. .
The fact that the Mercury Pendant came into use in such a short period of time proves that even with Mashu's protection, Fujimaru Ritsuka is still facing danger.
A gleaming golden dagger was placed on top of a folded cloak whose fabric looked very soft.
Although the material is immediately obvious to be metal, from the outside, the blade of the dagger, which looks like a diamond cut into several sides, reflects the fire of some kind of luxury product.
Compared to Animusfia's cheap-looking "glass" spear, it's unknown how expensive it is.
Animusfia did not add any offensive magic to it this time. One reason is that Ritsuka has already learned a lot of his magic and is more or less capable of fighting. The other reason is that Animusfia Ya found that what he needed to protect more was the safety of his students rather than controlling the enemy.
The last incident where Nero was injured also reminded Animusfia.
Therefore, in addition to the huge amount of magic power in this short sword, he also stored the "Venus Magic" technique.
This time the battle still needs to be carried out separately, and Animusfia will still be with Nero.
Therefore, he entrusted the important task of protecting Ritsuka's side to the short sword he named "Aphrodite".
It also echoes the nickname "Venus" of the Spear of Ouranos in his hand.
However, looking at the expression of the girl in front of her, it seemed that she was not willing to just accept the dress made for her by Animusfia.
"What's wrong, Ritsuka?"
Animusfia asked her student in a low voice that no one else could hear.
"If you just accept it...it always feels like you are bowing to that emperor..."
Ritsuka said reluctantly.
"this......"
Animusfia was speechless for a moment, was it because of him?
"Take it, Ritsuka. Just think it's for me, okay?"
He looked sincerely at the girl in front of him.
Ritsuka pouted under Animusfia's gaze, and finally took the cloak and golden dagger from his hands.
"All right."
Seeing her lovely student accept the gift, Animusfia's worries were temporarily relieved.
When she first fought alongside her, Animusfia only regarded her as the rumored Master who saved the world, so she didn't feel anything wrong when she saw Ritsuka fighting.
In fact, Ritsuka has shown that she can indeed accomplish the great cause of saving humanity.
Otherwise Animusfia should have sunk forever at the bottom of the First Singularity, and perished together with Krasin's temporary body.
But no matter what, after these days of getting along, Animusfia could no longer regard the flesh-and-blood girl in front of her as the "great man" in her previous impression.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who saved Renri, was just an ordinary and slender girl.
How could Animusfia let her fall into danger like this?
The same goes for Nero.
If Animusfia’s previous purpose of protecting Fujimaru Ritsuka and Nero was simply to protect humanity and save the world by not changing the history of mankind————————
So now Animusfia's purpose of protecting them is really only out of his own heart, because he wants to protect them.
Although the result is the same, the motivation has completely changed.
After the battle of Cthulhu, Animusfia has a full understanding of the extent of the changes caused by her arrival.
The difficulty of saving humanity may have increased a lot because of his interference.
So Animusfia regretted it.
Just because of his own willfulness, the history of mankind has been restored, and the girl who has succeeded has been dragged back into this chaos and suffering.
........
Now Animusfia just wants to put things right and help Fujimaru Ritsuka achieve her great career again.
If the girl was injured... or even died due to the changes he brought about, that would be a result that Animusfiya could not accept.
Animusfia can sacrifice the civilians in Florence for the restoration of human nature, and can also ignore the survivors in Las Salita.
Even able to abandon his own arms and his own life.
Just because he regards the achievements of restoring human nature as more important than those.
If there was such a possibility, Animusfia would also choose to sacrifice humanity to save Ritsuka's life.
...just like Caesar and Octavian who wanted to sacrifice Rome.
Animusfia looked back at Nero who was looking at him with trust.
The battle begins again.
