"How are you doing?"
The moment these words entered Kyoko's ears, Kyoko actually had the urge to cry.
At this moment, Kyoko wanted to shout out loud.
"Not good at all!"
Indeed, not good at all.
Just as her relationship with Rozen showed signs of easing, Rozen became a curse criminal and disappeared without a trace.
Even Natsume had left, making Kyoko feel like she had suddenly become her own person. Even if she could return to Yin Yang School, she would never be able to find the same feeling as before.
In the past year and a half, Kyoko only had loneliness, longing, and sadness. Apart from that, there was only one belief left to support her.
That was to find Rozen and see Rozen again.
Now, this wish had finally come true.
Looking at that familiar face and hearing that familiar voice, Kyoko really wanted to cry.
But Kyoko still held back.
Because …
"They …?"
Kyoko finally noticed the situation on the rooftop, and her expression changed abruptly.
She saw that everything around Rozen, who was standing in the middle of the rooftop, had turned into a world of ice and snow. There were also many Onmyojis frozen there in fear or despair. They looked so lifelike, and it was so creepy.
Kyoko even saw Kimura Zen Jiro, Gong Carimari, Jiao Yamashiro, and even Miyazaki Tofu, who was known as the strongest Onmyoji of the current generation. Seeing them frozen into ice sculptures and unable to move at all, one could imagine the impact in her heart.
"Don't worry." Rozen immediately said, "Big Dipper just froze them. It might affect their bodies a little, but it's not a big deal."
His words made Kyoko completely relieved.
However, rather than saying that he was relieved that the Onmyojis present were fine, it was more that he was relieved that Rozen did not start a massacre.
Kyoko didn't want to see Rozen go on a killing spree and turn into an evil curse caster.
Although Rozen was now a Curse Offender.
Thinking of this, Kyoko bit her lip.
"Where have you been for the past one and a half years?"
Kyoko asked softly.
"Where else can I go?" Rozen shrugged and said, "To avoid Yin Yang Hall's pursuit, I'm running around."
Of course, these words were half true and half false.
The real part was, of course, running around.
The fake part was to hide from the Yin Yang Hall.
As for the Yin Yang Hall's pursuit, Rozen had never been worried or afraid.
Therefore, Rozen didn't run around to avoid Yin Yang Hall's pursuit.
However, this sentence sounded different to Jingzi's ears.
"Did you really become a Curse Offender?" Kyoko stared at Rozen and said, "Did you really touch the taboo?"
That was Yin Yang Hall's statement to the public.
Because the modern Yin-Yang Technique was based on the Universal Yin-Yang Technique, and the Universal Yin-Yang Technique claimed that there was no soul in the world, let alone the existence of gods. All spiritual bodies and gods were just a form of Spiritual Energy, which was equivalent to a dynamic Spiritual Disaster. Therefore, the Universal Yin-Yang Technique completely eliminated the element of religious belief. Therefore, only some of the senior officials in Yin-Yang Hall knew about Rozen's summoning ritual.
As for the public, they only knew that Rozen touched the taboo, touched the Summoning Ritual, and even succeeded in achieving it, which was why he was arrested by Yin Yang Hall. In the end, he made a scene in Yin Yang Hall, escaped, and became a special wanted criminal.
The same was true for Kyoko. She only knew that Rozen touched the Summoning Ritual, but she didn't know what Rozen did.
For that reason, Kyoko wanted to ask Rozen, and she even thought that he might be slandered.
Unfortunately …
"If you look at it from the modern standard, I did violate the Summoning Ritual."
Rozen's calm answer broke all the hope in Kyoko's heart.
Rozen did touch the Summoning Ritual, and he was not wronged.
"You must have had a hard time in the past year and a half because of me, right?" Rozen looked at Kyoko and said helplessly, "I'm sorry to let you suffer so much, but this is the truth. If you can't accept it, then there's nothing I can do."
Kyoko suddenly felt bitter.
That was not what she wanted to hear at all.
The problem was that Rozen didn't intend to stop.
"Maybe you will feel betrayed by me."
Rozen looked at Kyoko and said straightforwardly.
"But you'd better forget about me."
"From now on, we are no longer people of the same world."
"I don't want to implicate you."
So Rozen mercilessly cut off his relationship with Kyoko.
This was the best explanation Rozen could give to Kyoko.
He did violate the Summoning Ritual of this world and this era, and Rozen admitted it.
Although he didn't think he was wrong, nor would he have any regrets, the truth was the truth, and Rozen wouldn't deny it.
The current Rozen was no longer the same person as before. He knew how to respect the rules of every world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have restrained himself in the Sword and Saber Realm and didn't use any Mystery.
In this world, Summoning Ritual was indeed a taboo, and what Rozen did in the past was indeed very dangerous. Rozen wouldn't deny it anymore.
Because of this, Rozen wouldn't deliberately distort Kyoko's view in the normal world. Moreover, Rozen might become enemies with the Kurahashi family and Kurahashi Genji. In the end, no one knew what kind of relationship they would have. Rozen didn't want Kyoko to be stuck between him and her father and suffer.
Instead of becoming like that, it was better to cut off all ties with them. This way, Kyoko might feel better.
However, Rozen didn't know how much impact his words had on Kyoko.
"Betrayal?
"Forgotten?
"No longer people of the same world?"
These words were very familiar to Kyoko.
In the past, Kyoko's father had used the exact same words to suppress Kyoko and make Kyoko give up.
She didn't expect Rozen to say such words.
Kyoko's delicate body suddenly trembled.
Then …
"What about Natsume?" Kyoko suppressed her emotions and said, "Natsume seems to have been implicated by you. He didn't do anything, but he also became a criminal of curses and is wanted by the Yin Yang Hall, right?"
Kyoko actually said such a thing.
Rozen raised his eyebrows slightly and narrowed his eyes.
"That's indeed the case." Rozen was silent for a while, then said: "However, Natsume is my Shikigami, and we share the same destiny, so I don't think I'm the one who implicated her."
That's right. That was what Rozen thought.
It wasn't that Rozen didn't feel guilty, but he knew very well that there was no need for such feelings between him and Natsume.
"Long before this, when Natsume decided to become my shikigami, we no longer need to consider who implicated whom. Whether it's me or Natsume, it's the same."
Rozen said so.
Kyoko was speechless.
Just when Rozen thought Kyoko had accepted her fate and was ready to leave …
"If that's the case, then let me become your shikigami."
Kyoko raised her head and said with incomparable determination.
"What?"
This time, Rozen was shocked.
