Opening her eyes, the only person she could still see was Vermillion. Nero couldn't help but ask, "Master, where did the other friends go?"
Seeing that her Master still didn't answer, Nero tried to get closer and ask again. "Master, what are you muttering about? Where are the others?"
"Hmm?" Smelling a flowery smell, Vermillion immediately regained consciousness. Without him realizing it, the beauty was very close before him.
"You've finally come to your senses. Speaking of which, up close, you do look quite handsome... Will you be my, um, boyfriend?" Nero changed the topic suddenly.
"Your boyfriend? Nero, we just met." Vermillion was astonished.
"If you like something, make sure to act quickly! This is my principle." Nero nodded cheerfully.
"But sorry, I have to decline."
"W-why? Am I not pretty enough?" Nero was surprised.
"No need to date, let's just marry already." He answered while laughing.
"Hey! It turns out you want this Roman Emperor to be your wife. That's bold! But I like it." Nero hugged the man's muscular arm happily, "But, aren't you already with the other women? It seems I'm really late."
"It's never too late, Nero."
"Umu! By the way, Master, where are the others?" After hugging, Nero asked again.
"They went to prepare a welcome party. Make sure to sing your song for them later."
"Okay." She nodded, "They must have thought that my concert would use a lot of energy, so they wanted to prepare food for me in advance. Umu, that must be it. I will sing for them more!"
"It's good that you understand, Nero. Later, use your Noble Phantasm so they can appreciate your talents more."
"I understand, Master! I will perform a new song for Master, too, hehe~."
"..." He's sweating in places.
"Nero, the Hanging Garden must be looked after, so I can't attend. Didn't I hear you singing in full just now?"
"Does Master not want to hear me sing?" Nero looked a bit sad.
She hugs her and then kisses her. "It's not like that, Nero. I would like to, but I do need to be on guard. Next time, you can sing for me privately if you want; how about that?"
Even though Nero was a very proactive woman, this was the first time she had been kissed.
"Umu." Nero nodded mechanically, still dizzy from the kiss.
"Then, let's go back to the top." Nero's body was wrapped in a green aura, and then they flew to the Hanging Garden.
