Romulus
Guardian of Septem is Here
Nero: Umu! My Rome is alive and full with people as ever today!
Nero: We no longer face the threat of the United Empire, smiles have been back on Rome's, my dear Romans' faces.
Nero: How wonderful. I'm in a great mood today. Indeed–
Nero: It's sad I won't see Fujimaru and Mash ever again, but I'm the emperor of Rome!
Nero: As long as my people have smiles on their faces, all I need is to reign over and govern Rome with unlimited love!
Nero: My talent has no limit, and neither does my love. The applause of roses will always resound in Rome!
Nero: I'm so excited! Which song should I sing today?
Romans: Oh, I see her Imperial Majesty over there! She's as bright as Apollo, and as beautiful as Venus!
Romans: Long live her Majesty! Hurray for Emperor Nero Claudius!
Nero: Umu. Keep on, I'll allow for the applause.
Nero: If there's one thing to be added, I'm also as talented in art as a Muse.
Nero: Now let me sing! Young girls, come here and hold flowers!
Nero: Honor of Imperium is here! I'll sing with my sweet voice to people throughout the capital, no, the whole land of Rome.
Romans: Oh, wow! Look, her Imperial Majesty is about to sing!
Romans: We're blessed, but you have to put up with it! Don't lose your concentration, otherwise you won't last!
Nero: Hehe, even the people passing by are excited! I'm so happy. This is the Rome I love!
Nero: ...Whew! That was a great recital.
Nero: But those orchestra folks that rushed to join. Isn't their performance a bit too loud?
Nero: Didn't it drown out my sweet voice and block my singing from reaching my people?
Nero: I understand that they get excited, but I need them to remember to be patient.
Nero: Anyway, I spent the whole morning singing. I should work on some official business in the afternoon–
Burrus: Your Majesty. I bring news.
Nero: Oh, my Knight Burrus. What's the matter?
Burrus: From the provinces ruled by the United Empire, we've received letters from the viceroys and director-generals who went missing.
Burrus: I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd appreciate it if you can read it.
Nero: Umu, Burrus. What you just brought in is nothing less than good news!
Nero: Hand over their letter to me. I've been concerned about them.
Nero: (If what Mash and others said was true, all the matters associated with the fake United Empire)
Nero: (will disappear without a trace at some point. But, umu. For now I should just read the letters.)
Nero: (My dear vassals. How did they survive from the attack of the United Empire?)
Nero: (I should learn that. I'm already someone who's killed her own mother–)
Nero: (All that's left is to continue to be the Emperor. I believe my love will reach both my vassals and my people)
Nero: (...Isn't that right, O Romulus?)
Burrus: –Your Majesty?
Nero: Sorry, I think I got a little tired from singing. But not to worry.
Nero: Give me the letters. I'll make sure to hear what the governors and others must say!
Seneca: ...Your Imperial Majesty. You seem to be pushing yourself too hard.
Seneca: It's already late at night. You should rest soon.
Nero: Oh, Seneca. Hehe, thank you for caring for me.
Nero: I got a stack of official work to deal with. I wish there were a few more of me so it wouldn't take this much time.
Nero: But that wouldn't work either. For I am the one and only in Rome!
Nero: Hehe. It's okay. I'm glad to hear you say that to me.
Nero: Once, when my mother was alive–
Seneca: Your Majesty.
Nero: Oh... Well, excuse me. Never mind what I just said.
Nero: I've noticed my migraines are coming back. Indeed this prevents me from finishing my work.
Nero: Certainly, I think I'm a little tired. I'm going to bed now.
Nero: ...Can I ask you to sleep by my side, private tutor?
Seneca: Please stop kidding. But I'm glad you changed your mind.
Seneca: Please rest well. You are our only Roman Emperor.
Seneca: You should never push yourself too hard. Your recklessness will lead to Rome's recklessness.
Nero: Umu. That makes sense–
Mash: ...No one is here. Nero appears to have gone to her bedroom.
Fou: Fou.
Dr. Roman: Wow, Imperial Privilege EX is incredible! It shut off your presence completely!
Dr. Roman: Besides, not only Romulus himself, but both Mash and Fujimaru as well.
Dr. Roman: I wonder which skill he used? Um, is it possible to tell us–King Romulus?
Romulus: ...
Mash: Romulus?
Romulus: ...
Mash: Excuse me–
Fujimaru 1: Are you worrying about Nero?
Mash: ...Sure. To Romulus, Nero is like a "descendant," I suppose.
Fujimaru 2: Rome?
Mash: Huh, Senpai?
Romulus: Every Roman is my child. Nero Claudius. One of my beloved children.
Romulus: With such a tiny body, the fragile girl tries to support everything in the far-off land, Rome.
Romulus: I, Rome, witnessed love in her. It's not gods' love, and yet not human's love, either.
Romulus: It is exactly... One of many forms of love a Roman emperor ought to possess.
Romulus: Even if that path heads to none other than the Underworld itself–
Mash: ...Yes.
Dr. Roman: Right. In several years from now Emperor Nero's political power becomes weak, and she loses the support of everyone under her.
Dr. Roman: I cannot tell her the truth, but sadly, it's just how the history is.
Romulus: Even if everyone rejects her, even if the gods reject her.
Romulus: I, Rome, shall never reject her. Nero Claudius is great.
Romulus: She is– truly a great "Roman emperor."
Romulus: Therefore, leave immediately. The "emperors" attracted, gathered by my divine radiance.
Mash: What–
Mash: What did you just say? We just came to check up on her, didn't we?
Dr. Roman: Wait, I'm picking up something– It's a extremely powerful reaction, but different than a Servant!
Dr. Roman: A more vague existence. A ghost-type monster perhaps? But this is too powerful for something naturally created.
Romulus: Augustus–!
Romulus: Tiberius, Claudius! O, Trajanus! Hadroanus, Severus!
Mash: Names of the emperors of the ancient Roman Empire?
Dr. Roman: Ah, I got it! Those ghosts are the "emperors" themselves!
Dr. Roman: Those "emperors" were chain-summoned by Romulus's existence, attracted by it.
Fou: Fooou!
Mash: I can sense hostility in their magical energy. Senpai, this is going to be a battle!
Fujimaru 1: Let's get ready for battle!
Mash: Yes, Master! Your orders, please!
Fujimaru 2: Rome!
Mash: What! S-Senpai?
Romulus: Emperors from the past! Emperors from the future!
Romulus: You must all leave now! You certainly are Rome, but now is the time of Nero!
Romulus: The short-lived United Empire is no more! Hence, O, my children, gathering in the void!
Romulus: –Behold my spear!
Romulus: This spear I hold is Rome. Hence, you shall–
Romulus: Return to Rome through my spear. O, O, Magna Voluisse Magnum!
Romulus: –Rome!
--BATTLE--:
Mash: The battle is over. All hostile targets were destroyed.
Romulus: ...Rome will never collapse. Even if all the Roman emperors end up crawling on the ground.
Romulus: Rome will continue to shine in the past, present, and future. I, Rome, can see that.
Romulus: Look, heavenly gods. Behold my Rome, no–
Romulus: Behold Nero's Rome, one that lasted longer than mine. Beautiful. This moment of beauty is infinite.
Mash: ...Okay.
Dr. Roman: I think I can understand, or maybe not. Hmm. What exactly is he saying?
Fujimaru 1: It's Rome
Fujimaru 2: It's Rome
Mash: ...Oh, sure Senpai.
Dr. Roman: Huh?
Dr. Roman: Wait a second. Mash, you just gave up on thinking, didn't you? And Fujimaru, you've been–
Romulus: Rome...
Fujimaru 1: Rome...
Mash: Yes. Rome, it is. Somehow–I started to understand it.
Fou: Fooou.
Dr. Roman: Wait, wait, wait! I still don't get it, what is it?
Mash: Doctor. No matter what history says, at least Nero is shining at this time.
Mash: So, she's all right as she is. I think he's saying...something like that.
Dr. Roman: Oh, that is... what it is?
Romulus: Rome...
Fou: Fooou...
Roman Soldier: It's right here, Lord Seneca! We've sensed an unusual presence from the Throne Room!
Seneca: Build up the defenses around Her Majesty's bedroom. I need four soldiers to follow me to the Throne Room!
Roman Soldier: Yes sir!
Dr. Roman: Uh-oh, they'll find us! Now, let's Rayshift out of here!
Fujimaru 1: Rome!
Mash: Yes, Senpai! Rome!
Fou: Fooou!
Romulus: –Rome forever!
