At that time, Rozan Can had just returned from Izanagi Clan. In order to talk to Tenzen, he was going to take Raizen with him to let Raizen know the truth.
For that reason, Rozen went to Little Tartare and asked Raizen, who was serving as Little Tartare's guard, to wait for him outside. He still had something to say to Little Tartare.
Little Tartare was not surprised. Instead, as if she had already prepared for it, she quietly waited for Raizen to leave. Then, Rozen looked at her.
"So, what do you want to say to me?"
Little Tartare went straight to the point.
Moreover, she no longer called Rozen her little brother like before.
Because Little Tartare realized that Rozen was there to punish her.
After all …
"The person I'm talking to is one of the witches of Rose Society, Karyuusai, Little Tartare. I have to think about my words carefully so as not to offend you."
Rozen's indifferent words changed the atmosphere.
It became extremely heavy.
But Rozen's words were all true.
"… So you knew about it."
Little Tartare was silent for a while, then smiled and admitted it.
Karyuusai, the number one puppet master in the world, was one of the members of Rose Society, Red Rose.
"Although I'm a cadre, I'm actually not very interested in the Society, and I don't want to manipulate any political power behind the scenes. If it weren't for the fact that the Society is the oldest magic group and that joining it would allow me to obtain many forbidden techniques, I wouldn't want to join it either."
Just like that, Little Pinch said slowly.
In other words, although Little Tartare was one of the witches of Rose Society, her relationship with the society was limited to use.
She was neither like the other roses, who wanted to dominate power, nor like Astrid, who wanted to spread terror, or even like Tumen Kiran, who wanted to protect her family and let the Izanagi clan continue. She just wanted to get what she wanted from the hands of the association.
That thing was …
"Divine Mechanism."
Little Tartare's voice slowly sounded.
"I'm only interested in that thing."
Yes.
Hence, Little Pinker was also interested in the divine mechanism.
After all, Little Punch was Puppeteer. How could he not be interested in divine mechanics?
However …
"What I want is to rely on my own strength to create the divine mechanism, not to snatch it from the hands of others. That's why I joined the society and relied on the power of the society to obtain the technology and information I want."
With that said, Little Jack looked at Rozen.
"You should have more or less sensed it, right?"
Little Crimson asked Rozen back.
Rozen nodded silently.
He had indeed guessed the purpose of Little Puncher joining the association.
The reason was …
"The Snow Moon Flower you gave me has absorbed a lot of my life force."
Rozen suddenly revealed this shocking truth.
This was something Rozen had noticed a long time ago.
"When I first started using Ye Ye, I had this feeling."
What does it feel like?
"The feeling of my life force being sucked away."
Previously, whether Rozen used Ye Ye, Irori, or any of Komurasaki's automaton, he felt that something in his body was sucked away.
That thing that was sucked away was his life force.
And what sucked away Rozen's life force was the most advanced automaton made by Little Jack, Snow Moon Flower.
"At first, I thought it was the price of using the forbidden puppet."
It has been said in the past that the reason why the forbidden puppet was regarded as a taboo, in addition to the fact that it must be made from living human beings, there was another reason. In order to pursue powerful performance, Puppeteers often added a lot of things to the forbidden puppet or gave up a lot of things.
For example, in order to save magical power, it was set to a form that was easy to move.
For example, in order to manipulate, it deliberately destroyed personal emotions.
For example, in order to improve physical activity, it needed to suck blood.
Another example, in order to perform powerful magic, it needed to sacrifice the life of others.
That was the price of using the forbidden puppet.
Rozen thought that was one of the characteristics of Snow Moon Flower. In order to exert great power, it must suck the user's life force.
But …
"If Snow Moon Flower really has this characteristic, then I should have found it when I read Karyuusai's secret book in your mansion. But there was no record of it at all, and as far as I know, there was no such price in Snow Moon Flower's design concept."
After all, the three sisters were now Rozen's automaton. Rozen didn't know how many times he used them in battle, and he knew their bodies better than they did. And because he read the secret book, he was sure that the three sisters definitely didn't have such a price.
Unless …
"That's not the price, but the price in other aspects."
So Rozen said word by word.
"For example, evolution."
That's right.
Evolution.
The children created by the puncher were all capable of evolution.
Rozen already discovered that.
"That should be the part of Karyuusai's secret book that I don't know yet, right?"
Rozen said.
Although Rozen had read most of the books in Karyuusai's collection, there was a small part that wasn't recorded in the secret book for some reason.
That small part of the content was the hidden secret of Setsugatsuka.
It was time for this secret to be revealed.
Little Jack revealed it himself.
"You should have noticed that the magic circuits of Ye Ye and her sisters are more powerful than ordinary people. In order to exert their full power, the user must reach the final stage of Eye of the Mind."
Little Pinch no longer concealed anything and said.
"Such a powerful magic circuit is actually all based on the truth of Phase Shift."
Phase Shift.
That was Karyuusai's secret technique, the ultimate embodiment of the puppeteer's skill.
"An automaton equipped with Phase Shift can take the user's life into its own body, and by fusing with living Aura, it can change its phase, making itself closer to a human being, and even closer to another realm, breaking through the Euclidean space, which is the realm of physical laws. Eventually, its body will no longer be bound by physical restrictions, it won't be damaged, and it won't be injured, and it will become a higher level of life."
Sharpshooter looked at Rozen's eyes with a bright smile and said.
"In other words, as long as there is enough vitality, one day, the three sisters will become divine mechanics."
Rozen said that Ye Ye may be the first candidate for divine mechanics.
That was wrong.
In fact, the three of them were the first candidates for Divine Ingenuity.
"Godfather's prophecy mentioned that in this Night Assembly, divine mechanics will be born, and the Demon King will get it." Little Zi said with great fascination, "I've always thought that the divine ingenuity mentioned in the prophecy is one of the three sisters, especially Yaya. She is the one who most meets the conditions of the 'Flawless Jade' among the three sisters."
That was why Little Jack gave Ye Ye to Rozen.
Because Little Jack wanted Rozen to take Ye Ye to the Night Assembly, win in the Night Assembly, and eventually become the Demon King, and let Ye Ye transform into divine mechanics, and even let Irori and Komurasaki become divine mechanics.
That was the real reason why Little Jack gave Snow Moon Flower to Rozen.
