When Shirou woke up again, he found that his limbs were covered with magic-forbidden chains. It seemed that in order to prevent him from going crazy again, Nero and the others were also prepared.

Not long after he woke up, Nero opened the door and walked in, his face looking haggard.

"Shirou, you finally woke up, something serious has happened."

Nero threw himself into Shirou's arms, not caring about the chains on Shirou's body.

"Nero, how long have I been unconscious?"

"It's been almost three months and a lot has happened."

We know from Nero that after defeating Caesar, Caligula took himself and Nero back to Rome, and then left a letter to Nero, written before Caligula lost his mind.

"My niece, I have received a call from another force, a force named the Holy Roman Empire. The person named Caesar who never informed me can know that it should be a group of people who were once Roman emperors. Since

I will be summoned, so you have to be careful."

"After my uncle left this letter, he went crazy and left. But I know that my uncle will come again soon, very soon."

Nero looked at Shirou worriedly, because he knew that the next time Caligula appeared again, he would definitely be an enemy, and then Shirou would definitely face Caligula. Nero didn't want the two of them to be so important to her.

Kill each other.

"Nero, I know what you're thinking."

Shirou touched Nero's head without any hesitation in his tone.

"Next time I meet him, I will definitely defeat him, because next time he appears, he will definitely hurt you, and I won't allow it."

"Shirou."

Nero didn't know what he should do, so he could leave the decision to Shirou.

"By the way, Shirou, it will be over soon. Do you know what to do?"

Nero blushed and looked at Shirou, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Oh, it seems I can't escape."

Shirou could only shake his head and look at Nero.

"no."

Nero put his ear close to Shirou's chest and listened to the strong beating of Shirou's heart.

"It's not that I can't escape, it's that I won't escape."

"Nero."

"You can prepare the rest. You only need to consider the enemies in the second half of the year."

Nero ran out in a hurry, seemingly planning for the second half of the year.

“Play it by ear.”

Shirou watched Nero run out, and then he remembered that he had something he forgot to tell Nero.

"Nero, if you won't let me go, are you going to hold me like this?"

Finally, Shirou was released and walked to the street. It seemed that everyone knew that he had given up resisting, and they were blessing him and Nero.

"Really, if you can't get away, why don't you make it so big in the first place and make things difficult for us?"

The tavern owner watched Shirou come in, prepared things for Shirou as usual, and said a few words to Shirou.

"Yes, getting married is a big deal, you're right, teacher."

Shirou looked over and saw a red-haired boy he had never seen before, and a man in a suit sitting nearby, talking.

"Are you two outsiders?"

"No, I'm a local."

"I've never seen it before. Do you know what you are doing now?"

Shirou walked to the boy's side unceremoniously, picked up the wine next to him and drank it.

"Of course, why the teacher and I showed up so clearly? Of course we don't play any trajectories, we just have to fight openly and openly."

"Hey, this is different from sleeping well."

The man was complaining about the boy. How could he say that? He knew that what he was best at was arrangement and situation.

The fighting spirit expressed by the two men alerted the tavern owner.

"You two, if you want to fight, don't stay here. Go out and come out again."

"Of course, I don't want to do anything."

The two of them walked until outside the city of Rome. When they saw that no one was around, the boy took out the sword beside him and pointed it at Shirou.

"Servant of the other party, come on, let me try your strength."

Shirou disappeared like a shadow and came to the boy at great speed.

"So fast."

The boy struck with his sword, but it only hit Shirou's afterimage. The main body had already come behind the boy and kicked him away.

The boy quickly stabilized his body and looked at Shirou who was unharmed. The boy was very excited.

"Teacher, he is indeed very powerful. It seems that if no one helps me, I really can't beat him."

"Really, it's just causing me trouble."

The man took out a robe and put it on himself. Looking at Shirou in the distance, the man always felt that he had seen him somewhere.

"Clock Tower, although it's not me, it's me who met you."

Shirou woke up the man with his words. It turned out that Shirou, who was always protective of others, had changed so much.

"That's it, it was you at that time."

The man took a deep drag on his cigarette, threw it on the ground, and slapped it casually. Several boulders appeared on Shirou's head and hit him.

"Have you found your answer?"

The man controlled the stone to attack Shirou while chatting with Shirou.

"Of course, otherwise why would you meet me here?"

"Well, let me see your capacity. Come on, my lord."

"Okay, teacher."

The boy held a thousand swords to hinder Shirou. The man kept attacking with boulders from behind, and occasionally helped the boy add buffs to increase the boy's strength.

"Hey, that's too much. Two of them hit me one."

Shirou split the stone that was thrown at him with a sword, turned around and deflected the boy's attack, and narrowly dodged a small light cannon.

"There is nothing you can do about it, after all, you are very strong. We can send two people to deal with you. You should be grateful to us."

"you?"

Only then did Shirou realize what the purpose of these two people was.

"You just realized it, but it's too late. Caligula should have gone to Nero by now."

The boy kept pestering Shirou and allowed Shirou to get angry.

"Damn it, don't underestimate me."

Shirou's right hand turned into a heavy hammer out of anger, and hit the boy's sword with the hammer. The heroic spirit's sidearm actually seemed to crack a little.

"Teacher, it's now."

"Use the magic of the world for me to help me defeat powerful enemies."

Shirou saw that something seemed to be falling from the sky, which gave Shirou a full sense of oppression.

"This is the ultimate formation of the great military division, the Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers. Come on, try to break my formation."

The stone pillars falling from the sky formed a unique shape, making Shirou feel that it was difficult to use his magic power, and even his anger power could not be used.

"This is a gift specially prepared for you. As long as the teacher's formation always exists, you will not be able to use magic power and abilities beyond your own limits."

The boy kept attacking Shirou with his sword, constantly consuming Shirou's magic power.

"I see, you have been prepared since last time."

Shirou has been dodging the boy's attacks because now he can't use magic too much, so now he has to find a way to break the formation.

"It's useless. The teacher's position cannot be broken so easily. You'd better give up and wait for Nero to be defeated by Caligula."

"Damn it, Nero, don't worry."

Shirou knew it was useless to worry now, he could only find a way to get out of here.

"Is now the time to be careful about others? Don't underestimate me."

The boy slashed Shirou's back with his sword. Only then did the boy realize that Shirou had already escaped earlier and that the person he had been paying attention to was an afterimage.

"No way, teacher!"
