The baths in Rome were more different than Fujimaru Ritsuka imagined.
Whether it was the interior styling, the carved beams or the huge bathtub filled with flower petals, they were all something she had never seen before.
The girl was as excited as a curious baby, her eyes widened and she looked around.
Her freshness made Martha think of her sister for a moment. She was also a lively girl who would not hide things in her heart.
The other travelers, Arash and Leonidas, went to take a bath in the noble bath with Cu Chulainn as they should.
Although the ancient Romans didn't mind mixed bathing, it was a bit too subtle for Christian saints and modern morals like Fujimaru Ritsuka.
By the way, although there are often scenes in Japanese animations of mixed bathing of men and women bathing together in hot springs, in fact, in hot springs in Japan that support mixed bathing, you can only see elderly people, and young people do not exist.
"Hmm... Hmm! I remembered it! It was the girl who rode the float with Yu that day! Hmmmm! What a lucky guy!"
Emperor Nero's voice rang out from the sound of water. She stood up with a shudder, not caring about the skin she had just washed out of the water. With her hands on her hips, the short girl gave off a rather heroic feeling.
Behind her, the bath towels in the hands of the two maids were wet with water. They consciously held the bath towels and left. The maid standing in line behind them consciously stepped forward and put the dry bath towel on His Majesty's breast.
On the body.
As expected of a Roman emperor, he was very particular.
Fujimaru Ritsuka praised in his heart, although this ostentation is very wasteful, but - it looks so good!
Fujimaru Ritsuka also wanted to live a life of being admired by thousands of people...
She carefully put her feet into the hot water. She felt that the water was not too hot. She took a deep breath and jumped into the pool.
"Wow! So hot!"
Made a cute sound.
"Hmm, it's so cute!"
Emperor Nero came closer, his big eyes flashing, looking very interested.
Martha stood beside her, clasping her hands together, as if praying for something.
To be honest, in the Singularity, the most fearful thing is the sudden attack of the enemy.
but……
(With me here, there should be no problem. Even with bare hands, I am quite confident. Although this is not something worth boasting about...)
Martha thought so.
To be honest, she really thought about killing her without the protection of Emperor Nero here, and then taking away the Holy Grail...
Before Martha became a saint, she was an ordinary peasant woman. It is not difficult to understand that she occasionally has such simple and crude thoughts.
But this was too unlike what a saint should do, so I just had a thought and immediately stopped to think deeply.
What's more... Martha can vaguely feel [someone's teachings].
It is a special ability similar to apocalypse or oracle. But it is much vaguer. At most, it only has a sense of disgust or an impulse.
Just after she had the idea of killing Nero here, she immediately felt disgusted. It was obvious that even if she really took action, she might not succeed.
Emperor Nero looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka carefully for several times, and finally his eyes were fixed on the undulating lines of her chest. She looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, then lowered her head to look at herself, and at Mash who was staring at her warily next to her.
He looked at himself again, and then laughed heartily: "Maid, bring roses to the lovely braves."
Emperor Nero gave an order, and seven or eight maids walked out from the densely packed queue at the edge of the pool. They walked closer with flower baskets in their hands. They raised their hands, and large petals fell like raindrops. The rich fragrance of the flowers suddenly burst out.
The child almost turned into a [substance] when it fell on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face.
The overly strong floral fragrance gives people a sense of...
Yes, it makes people feel a little dizzy.
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt her eyes were a little blurry.
Martha frowned, sensing something was wrong, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth, and pulled her hard. Even though she was in the water, Martha ignored the resistance of the water and separated from Emperor Nero for three or four seconds.
Meters away, magic power has been woven into a long staff on one hand, and both hands are covered with gauntlets.
When Mashu saw this, he summoned a huge shield to cover Fujimaru Ritsuka's retreat. In the flash of lightning, she had no time to think about anything. There was only a strong male voice in her mind shouting to her: "Pick up the shield, block."
In front of your enemies.]
“There’s something wrong with this flower!!”
Martha shouted loudly.
In the past, Emperor Nero's voice could be heard, so his own voice could certainly do the same.
Leonidas, who was in the bathhouse not far away, slapped himself on the edge of the pool, rushed out of the water, picked up his gun and shield, and rushed into Nero's bathhouse. Arash was even more exaggerated, holding up a big red gun in his hand.
The bow fired an arrow towards the ceiling. The blow condensed with exaggerated magic power actually opened a big hole in the ceiling! The arrow shot diagonally stirred up the strong wind and directly penetrated the wall between the two baths.
Oh! Arash just used his bow and arrow to create a quick passage for himself!
This series of things happened in a blink of an eye, and Emperor Nero was also startled. He didn't understand what was happening, but he heard a swipe and the sound of the blade coming out of his body.
The slightly green blade spoke of the danger. I'm afraid, there is a strong poison on it that can kill someone with just a scratch, right? A maid shook off the bath towel on the gold plate in her hand. The wide gauze bath towel more or less served as a
In order to block the view, from behind the swishing towel, a black-haired girl held a dagger, tore the towel with one blow, and rushed towards Nero!
There is only one person in this singularity who can do such a thing.
The assassin, Jing Ke.
An assassin who left a legendary mark in Chinese history.
Although Jing Ke failed to assassinate the Qin Dynasty, he dared to sneak into the palace alone and assassinate the emperor who was the most powerful emperor at that time. It was a very topical and symbolic act in itself. He was bold, careful, planned, and had the ability to complete the plan. All of this
, are all embodied at the same time as the capital of Assassin.
From the moment he was summoned, Jing Ke was planning this matter.
She knew very clearly that the problem with the singularity this time was this troublesome emperor. As long as she was assassinated, the singularity would disappear naturally.
So, she made many careful plans. However, it was probably due to bad luck. Or maybe it was some kind of curse. Her plans always suffered sudden changes at the most critical moments.
At the beginning, a plan was made, Jing Ke was going to assassinate Nero on the float, but Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly came, the situation suddenly changed, and the best opportunity was lost.
After that, she planned to join forces with Siegfried to assassinate Nero in a fair and just way through a battle in front of the palace, but this was also denied by Mashu and Yagi Seksai.
Then, she cleverly guided Siegfried to fight Caligula to make everyone understand the emperor's terror, and then went to persuade them. However, before she could go over, she suddenly got the news that Emperor Nero was bathing, and she quickly made plans.
, after thinking for a while, she decided to disguise herself as a maid, preparing to use flower petals mixed with poison to relax her spirit, and then assassinate her with one blow, but she was called out by Martha again...
(I really don’t have any luck with assassinations.)
As she thought this, the realization in her eyes became even more miserable.
(However, there is only less than five steps between us, so it doesn’t matter even if we kill by force! The mission of being summoned by the Holy Grail is accomplished at this moment!)
