Liverpool, Walpurgis Royal Academy of Mechanical Engineering.
For the people there, it was naturally impossible to know what happened in the Far East, which was half a world away.
Moreover, the city of mechanical engineering had just escaped from danger, and they were still dealing with the aftermath.
Due to the disappearance of Absolute Monarchy, the automatons that were out of control had been controlled and were currently being inspected.
All the injured professors and students had been arranged to be sent to the medical department for treatment.
After Astrid's master fell, Rose Stump, which was left in the academy, began to escape from the academy without hesitation, but some of them also tried to sneak into The Fool's Temple to steal the divine artifact research. Now, they were being chased by the guards and the guard team.
Hiding in various corners of the academy, the students who had escaped the calamity all appeared one after another with lingering fear in their hearts, knowing that they were finally out of danger.
Coupled with the fact that they were still cleaning up the ruins of the destroyed buildings, there were a lot of things to do in the academy. They didn't have time to pay attention to what happened in the Far East, and they didn't know that Rozen easily crossed the border of two countries and solved two big problems in one day.
Only the three sisters knew that Rozen was doing something very important.
"I don't know how Rozen -sama is doing now."
"Ye Ye is so worried."
"Really, why didn't he take us with him?"
The three sisters were worried and uneasy, anxious and wanted to complain.
However, through the connection of the Shikigami contract, the three sisters discovered Rozen's return.
The three sisters were delighted on the spot, but they did not immediately go to meet Rozen. Instead, they helped Xia Lu, Frey, Anri, Loki, and others to clean up the mess in the academy.
Because Rozen did not come back to see them immediately, because he had several things to do.
Magnus stood at the top of the clock tower, leading the six young ladies in the battle squad as they surveyed the entire academy.
Until a voice sounded from behind him.
"Through the memory of Golden Rose, I finally solved the two questions left by the Akabane Clan's extermination."
When this voice sounded, Magnus's eyes trembled. The automatons beside him were even more shocked. They suddenly turned around and raised their weapons to face the newcomer.
The visitor, who had appeared out of nowhere, turned a blind eye to this and continued to talk.
"Why does Izanagi want to destroy the Akabane Clan?"
"Why does Izanagi want to marry into the Akabane Clan?"
"I've already found the answers to these two questions."
Rozen, who was standing behind Magnus, looked at the lively academy that was still cleaning up the mess and said casually.
"However, there is still a third question that needs to be answered."
What questions?
"Why did you help Izanagi destroy the Akabane Clan?"
Rozen looked at Magnus's back.
"Aren't you going to tell me the answer?"
Rozen's words were met with silence.
Seeing this, Rozen was not surprised.
"Since you don't want to say it, I'll make a bold guess."
Rozen said.
"In that incident, your behavior itself is full of contradictions."
Akabane Tenzen chose to betray the Akabane Clan and join the Izanagi Clan, and even led the Izanagi Clan's people to slaughter the Akabane Clan. At first glance, it was not difficult to imagine the reason.
The Izanagi Clan probably thought that Akabane Tenzen and the Akabane Clan had formed a different opinion, and he wanted to fight for the opportunity to make the Akabane Clan prosperous by offering Lady Calamity. They opposed the Akabane Clan's practice of protecting Lady Calamity, thinking that it was suicide. Akabane Tenzen himself also wanted to rise, and he didn't want to go against the Izanagi Clan, so he chose to betray the Akabane Clan. But later, Akabane Tenzen betrayed the country and came to the United Kingdom.
Isn't this action contradictory in itself?
And …
"Since it has been determined that you did not destroy the Akabane Clan for Divine Mechanism, then why did you help Edward Rutherford to study Divine Mechanism?"
Akabane Tenzen incarnated as Magnus, became the chief of the Academy of Mechanical Engineering, conspired with the Dean to carry out the research on The Fool's Sanctuary. Was it just because he defected and came here, and the Dean proposed this exchange to protect him?
It shouldn't be that simple, right?
So …
"I guess the reason why you betrayed Izanagi is that you know very well that the Akabane Clan can't resist Izanagi. In order to protect Fuko, Izanagi and the Akabane Clan will inevitably fight to the death, and the final winner of this battle will only be Izanagi, not Akabane."
Rozen's words sounded one after another.
"In order to find a glimmer of hope in this desperate adversity, you pretended to join Izanagi and personally slaughtered the Akabane Clan, so that there is a possibility of deceiving everyone."
Rozen said so straightforwardly.
"Can I assume that in the incident back then, you only caused the clansmen to fake their deaths and hid them?"
"Or perhaps you actually have another way to revive your clansmen?"
"Only this can explain why you joined Izanagi, fought with them, and then betrayed your country."
"Is this the truth?"
That was the bold guess Rozen said.
Unfortunately …
"That night, the Akabane Clan was doomed to be destroyed. This is an unchangeable fact."
Magnus turned around and looked at Rozen.
Immediately afterward, Magnus reached out and took off the mask on his face.
Yes.
Magnus took off the mask.
What appeared under the mask was a face that Rozen was familiar with.
"Akabane Tenzen …"
Rozen said the real name of that face.
Akabane Tenzen looked at Rozen, showing a gentle smile that Rozen was very familiar with.
"It seems that you have touched this step." Akabane Tenzen said so, "Then, it may be meaningless to continue to hide it from you."
With that, Akabane Tenzen admitted Rozen's guess.
"The reason why I joined Izanagi was indeed fake, because if I didn't do this, the Akabane Clan would only end up being slaughtered."
Izanagi was the strongest Onmyoji family in Japan, the pillar of the country itself. If they wanted to attack the Akabane Clan in their own country, the Akabane Clan would not be able to escape, and the result would only be a complete annihilation.
"But if I pretended to join them, it would be different." Akabane Tenzen smiled faintly and said, "In that way, I can find an opportunity to do something in that war."
For example, Akabane Tenzen could protect Raizen from Izanagi's people who broke into the sea of fire.
For example, Akabane Tenzen could personally deal with Rozen, so that Rozen would not be targeted by Izanagi.
Akabane Tenzen contributed to Rozen and Raizen's survival in that sea of fire.
Then …
"Even if not all of them, I hope to save as many as possible."
Akabane Tenzen lowered his eyes.
"For example, Fuko."
Akabane Tenzen said so.
