Just like that, Raizen left.
With Raizen's departure, the battle in the Holy Hall would no longer start again.
After seeing Gines and Rozen, as long as there was no problem with their brain, they wouldn't want to fight again.
The same was true for Magnus.
Magnus watched as Lei Zhen left, staring at his back. He had no idea what he was thinking.
Perhaps, he wanted to remember the past.
Perhaps, he was thinking about whether to let Raizen stay so that the information about Gines wouldn't be leaked.
But in any case, Magnus didn't make a move again. He didn't even pay attention to Rozen, causing the girls around him to surround him and guard against Rozen.
For the girls, Rozen was a more terrifying enemy than Raizen, and he was the biggest threat to their master.
Compared to Raizen, the girls were more hostile to Rozen and more afraid of Rozen. If they could, they wouldn't mind killing Rozen directly to help their master eliminate a great threat.
Those girls never thought too much. They only thought about their master's safety, unlike Tsukuyomi, who had a human nature. Even if they had a human nature, they didn't care. They treated their master as everything, and they could erase their master's will for that.
Most of the automaton puppets had this tendency. For the sake of their master, it didn't matter even if it was destroyed, and it didn't matter if it was dismantled or destroyed. Even Yuki Tsuki was like that. The three sisters completely surrendered to Rozen after they decided to become his automaton. Even if they signed an Absolute Contract with Rozen, it wouldn't be a problem for them. It was just that the automaton girls in the Battle Squad were more thorough in their loyalty.
For such girls, Irori, Ye Ye, and Komurasaki were on guard. Only Rozen was still so calm.
Rozen glanced at Magnus's back and didn't say anything. He turned around and was about to leave.
At that moment, Magnus's voice suddenly came.
"Actually, you don't have to care about anything."
Magnus's voice was strangely calm.
It was not the calmness of Rozen, who knew everything like the back of his hand. Instead, it was the calmness of someone who had seen through something.
The underlying meaning of Magnus's words was simple. He was telling Rozen that he could actually stand by and watch the Akabane Family's matter, or rather, stand by and watch the matter between him and Raizen.
"In any case, the blood flowing in your body is not Akabane's. You are just an adopted son. There is no need to get involved in the Akabane family's affairs."
It was unknown what Magnus was feeling when he said those words.
It was as if he was advising Rozen to stop now and not bother about Red Feather's matter.
Rozen only replied with one sentence.
"Do you think that's possible?"
Rozen asked in return.
Magnus did not find it strange at all.
"I know that it is impossible for you to turn a blind eye to this matter." Magnus said calmly, "However, if you protect me like this, it may cause Raizen to be hostile towards you. Is that okay?"
Hearing that, Rozen was silent for a while and sighed.
"It is better than letting that kid regret it for the rest of his life when the truth comes out, right?"
That was what Rozen thought.
Otherwise, Rozen would not have stopped the brothers from killing each other.
"On the other hand, I don't know what you are thinking." Rozen asked, "You don't care about Raizen's life at all. If I did not arrive in time, were you really going to die together with Raizen?"
These words made Magnus fall silent.
But …
"If he really died in my hands, it would be better than facing the consequences."
Magnus said in a low voice as if he was talking to himself.
Looking at Magnus like this, Rozen really wanted to ask him what had happened back then.
Unfortunately, Magnus would not tell him. Rozen knew this very well.
Although that was what he said, Rozen had already guessed what had happened back then.
However, Magnus seemed to be hiding some secrets, so Rozen had to suppress his guesses and choose to wait and see for now.
In any case, this matter should not take long to come to light.
The Night Assembly was in its second half, and it would end in about a month or so.
By that time, because of the Divine Mechanism, the world would be stirred up the biggest wave in history.
Magnus's plan should have appeared in the midst of that ripple.
That was how Rozen felt.
If that was the case …
"I will wait for you. I will wait for the day when you are willing to tell me everything."
That day was approaching.
Therefore, Rozen could afford to wait.
Just when Rozen was about to leave, Magnus's side heard something again.
"Catch."
With such a sentence, something was thrown by Magnus.
It was a translucent blue magic stone.
Ye Ye, who thought it was something dangerous, directly stepped forward, first activated Vajra's Strength to strengthen herself, and then helped Rozen catch the stone and check it.
"Rozen."
Ye Ye, who couldn't find anything, turned her head and looked at Rozen.
"Give it to me."
Rozen reached out to Ye Ye and took the stone from Ye Ye's hand.
Looking at the stone, Rozen narrowed his eyes.
Because with the blessing of Eye of the Mind and Divine Eye, Rozen saw an incredible vitality from the stone in his hand.
Combined with the secrets he learned in The Fool's Temple, Rozen had some guesses about the stone's true form.
"What is this?"
Rozen asked, pretending he didn't know.
"There are many names for it. Some people call it the Stone of Ain, and some people call it the Stone of Nothingness, but in the field of engineering, it is called the Stone of Nothingness."
That was what Magnus said.
"Is that so?" Rozen nodded, while weighing the stone in his hand, and said: "Are you sure you want me to take this thing?"
"Take it." Magnus said without hesitation: "Although the dean won't sit back and watch it be lost, if it's you, you should be able to keep it and study something from it."
"Maybe." Rozen said noncommittally, "But, is it okay for you to give it to me?"
"I can't say no." Magnus said lightly: "But it doesn't matter, the dean won't know that I gave it to you, and it's useless even if he knows. He still needs me for the time being."
Hearing that, Rozen didn't ask anything else and directly put away Stone.
"Don't be so willful next time."
After saying such a sentence, Rozan Can turned around and left with Irori, Ye Ye, and Komurasaki.
Magnus didn't say a word, and he didn't look back. His eyes were fixed on the direction where Raizen left. There was nostalgia, emotion, sadness, and complexity in his eyes, but more than that, he was proud and gratified.
"Soon …"
Magnus murmured.
"Soon …"
What did that mean?
No one knew.
