Seeing that Nero still had the energy to argue, Nero breathed a sigh of relief.
Red Nero noticed the composure of this other version of himself and couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you alright?"
We're all Nero, so why don't you get to have a headache?!
This is not fair!
Nero shrugged: "I am already a Heroic Spirit, and illness has no effect on me, as long as I don't have a negative skill like 'Headache'."
Upon hearing this, Red Nero felt so sour that even his headache seemed to lessen considerably.
Nothing special, it's just that I can't feel the sourness anymore...
At this moment, Mar and Eng also came up.
He frowned as he looked at Red Nero, pondered for a moment, then conjured a pill and handed it to Red Nero.
"What is this?" Nero was taken aback and looked up at Marne.
"Painkillers also have a detoxifying effect, so they should be able to cure your headache."
Nero's severe headaches were mainly caused by poisoning he had been given in his early years.
The toxins accumulated in her body, continuously eroding her health.
Therefore, theoretically, once the toxins are removed, her headache should improve.
only……
"Wait a minute, is this really a good thing? Isn't this changing history?"
Gudako expressed her concerns with a puzzled look.
The Red Nero before me is a living, breathing person, a historical figure.
Moreover, this disease was contracted after the anomalous point was generated; it was something that was already present.
If the disease could be cured, wouldn't that change history?!
Although she felt sorry for Red Nero being plagued by a serious illness, as a member of Chaldea, she felt that this action was somewhat inappropriate.
After all, they came here to restore humanity!
That is, to revise history, but Marx and Engels' current actions are changing history.
Isn't this blatant embezzlement?!
Gudako said she couldn't understand.
Marx and Engels' explanation was...
"No problem. Even if it's cured, it's only cured within this singularity. Once the singularity is repaired, everything will return to normal."
"Since that's the case, why let her continue to suffer? It's better to loosen our grip and make things easier for future operations."
Although singularities are isolated from human history, once repaired, everything that happened within a singularity will be corrected.
So as long as it's not too outrageous, no matter what you do, it will eventually return to its original state.
If that's the case, the enemy can change things in the singularity, so why can't it be done for Chaldea's sake?
Does this mean that officials are allowed to set fires while ordinary people are forbidden to light lamps?
If the Goetia can do it, why can't the Chaldea do the same?
Of course, the main reason was that Marne couldn't bear to let Red Nero continue to suffer from his illness.
But after all, this is Nero, just like his wife.
Seeing Red Nero's pained expression just now, Maren felt a pang of heartache.
It was also the first time he had learned that Nero's illness flared up in this way, which made him very distressed.
He couldn't help but feel relieved that his Nero didn't have this problem.
"Forehead……"
Upon hearing this, Gudako was speechless and didn't know how to refute it.
She even thought Maren's words made a lot of sense.
Since the singularity has been repaired and everything will return to normal, why should they worry about so much?
Seeing that Gudako had nothing to say and the others didn't stop her, Maren smiled at Red Nero and said, "Here, take this. At least it will definitely relieve your headache right now."
Whether it can be cured depends mainly on whether it recurs in the future.
After all, Ma En wasn't a doctor; he simply devised this detoxifying pill based on the information he already knew. As for its specific effects, we'll only know after taking it.
However, Ma En was still very confident. He had put all his effort into creating this pill, and its effects were sure to be powerful.
"Won't it be harmful?" Nero asked hesitantly.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Marx and Engels.
After all, if Maren wanted to harm her, he could have done so on the battlefield.
She had tried many treatments for her illness, but none of them had worked. In some cases, they even caused other problems. After that, she became wary of medication.
"Don't worry, even if it doesn't work well, no one will get sick from it. I guarantee there will be no side effects," En assured her, patting his chest.
"Alright, I believe you."
Red Nero nodded, took the pill, and swallowed it on the spot.

After taking the pill, Red Nero felt his headache begin to ease in no time, and he felt much better.
"Hmm, it really works! Thank you, Ma Enqing."
Ma En smiled slightly and said, "No need to thank me, it's what I should do, after all, you are also Nero."
As he spoke, he looked at Nero beside him.
Red Nero blushed slightly, feeling strange whenever she thought about Marne's relationship with her other self.
However, she also looked at Nero on the other side and said thank you, "Thank you. I didn't expect that I would be the one benefiting from your kindness."
Her opinion of Nero had changed somewhat.
She had previously felt somewhat reserved and unfamiliar with this other version of herself.
But when her illness flared up just now, the other person was the first to come and care for her, which made her feel very warm-hearted.
Indeed, the one who cares most about you is yourself.
Of course, Marne wasn't much worse, but when facing him, Red Nero felt even stranger, just very uncomfortable.
Nero simply smiled at Red Nero's thanks and didn't say anything more.
"Well then, it's time to get down to business, regarding the rewards for everyone..."
Seeing this, Red Nero sat up straight again, regaining her imperial dignity.
Before she could finish speaking, a guard rushed in from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, an urgent report has arrived from the East Gate: an enemy force has suddenly appeared ten miles away, and 533 is rapidly approaching!"
Red Nero swallowed back the words of reprimand he was about to utter and instead asked, "How many enemy troops are there?"
"It's not clear yet, but based on the visual estimation of the guards on the city gate, the number is estimated to be at least five thousand."
Upon hearing this, Red Nero's expression changed.
The armies of this era were not very large; five thousand was considered a large army.
Even if she brought back only three thousand people this time, together with the garrison in the city, it would only amount to about five or six thousand.
Although there are advantages in defending the city, the current situation is not optimistic.
So she could only look at Mar and the others.
Only by relying on the power of heroic spirits can we secure victory.
"Ma Enqing..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ma En said, "Kakuna Hinako, take Nagato, Liya, Elizabeth, and Kiyohime with you. Contact me if there are any problems."
With four followers, guarding a city gate is not difficult.
"Okay." Hinako nodded, and without saying anything more, she called out to the people who had been called out and turned to head towards the east gate.
"Wait, let's go too."
Gudako wanted to go too, and Ma En didn't stop her.
After all, she didn't really have anything to do here, and Mashu even went with her...
Marne looked at Joan of Arc: "You should go with them too, and take good care of them for me."
He was a little worried, afraid that his daughter might encounter some danger.
If Jeanne d'Arc were here, her Noble Phantasm could have saved them, buying them more time to call for reinforcements.
"Ok."
Joan of Arc nodded in agreement and then turned and followed.
Meanwhile, on the Chaldea side...
Leonardo da Vinci was originally enjoying watching the interaction between the two Neros.
Seeing that Gudako had actually walked away, the live stream switched, and the two Nero figures were no longer visible. Da Vinci was so angry that he almost cursed out loud.
I wanted to open the communication channel and give Gudako a piece of my mind, but Olga Marie stopped me, saying I shouldn't disturb the battle there. So I gave up, muttering to myself as I turned and left the control room.
Since there's no more shows to watch, she should go back to work.
Let's go back to the singularity.
With eight people gone, the main hall suddenly became much quieter.
Red Nero looked at Marne and said somewhat apologetically, "I'm really sorry to have troubled you all. The reward hasn't even been given yet, and I've already asked you to help. This is really..."
"No trouble at all, after all, assisting you is one of the purposes of our trip."
