"Bang … Bang … Bang …"
As the fire gradually grew stronger, more and more stones fell from the ceiling, as if it was about to collapse, causing the entire control room to become shaky, causing a burst of explosions.
Rozen and Matthew both stared at the completely closed door in front of them and fell into silence.
Rozen understood.
Whether it was himself or Matthew, they could no longer leave here.
The door of the control room was specially made, and the security measures against magic were also very good. Even the most powerful magician would not be able to break the door with brute force. Even if they relied on physical means, it would be very difficult to break the door that was many times stronger than steel.
Unless he could summon a superior servant, it was worth a try.
Otherwise, with the current Rozen, he couldn't escape here at all.
And if he couldn't escape here, there was no need to say what would happen.
Not only Matthew couldn't be saved, but even Rozen himself would be swallowed by the fire and lose this hard-won life.
This was the current situation.
For a while, Rozen didn't know how to react.
As for Matthew, her voice sounded slightly.
"I'm sorry … senior … it's all because of me …"
The voice that was so fragile that it seemed that it could disappear at any time and the guilt contained in the voice made people feel distressed.
However, for some reason, when he heard this voice, Rozen felt at peace.
He was about to die, but his mood was calm to an incredible point.
And his feelings were even more straightforward.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it."
Rozen's voice returned to the usual sloppy, and he smiled as if he was relaxed.
This made all the words in Matthew's heart dissipate, turning into a weak but unusually beautiful smile.
"Senior … sure enough, he's still a senior …"
Matthew only had such a mood left.
The fire grew stronger again, engulfing Rozen and Matthew's retreat.
Rozen held Matthew, sat in front of the blocked door, and looked at the sea of fire in front of him.
"Senior …"
After an unknown period of time, Matthew's weak voice sounded again.
"Do you remember the first time we met …?"
This sentence immediately pulled Rozen's memories back to the past.
That was two years ago.
At that time, Rozen had already stayed in Chaldea for a year.
As the most outstanding Master-worthy existence on record, Rozen was welcomed by many when he first came to Chaldea. However, in that year, Rozen's uncooperative attitude towards Chaldea had gradually worn out Chaldea's patience, causing his interpersonal relationship with Chaldea to fall to the lowest point.
To put it bluntly, apart from Roman, no one else was around Rozen at that time.
For Rozen at that time, this was exactly what he wanted.
"Instead of wasting time with these guys who are secretly carrying out inhuman magic experiments, I'd rather play games."
Rozen sincerely held these thoughts, and at the same time, he also held resistance towards Chaldea and lived his life alone.
Sometimes, he practiced magic in places that others didn't know.
Sometimes, he played games alone in his room.
Except for Roman personally coming to ask Rozen to go out and cooperate with some checks, Rozen never stepped out of his room.
This was Rozen's life in Chaldea two years ago.
A life of utter solitude.
Until one day …
"Her name is Matthew? Gillett, she will also live in Chaldea like you in the future. You two have to get along well. "
Roman suddenly brought a girl who was about the same age as Rozen to him and introduced the girl standing beside him to Rozen.
Rozen still remembered Matthew at that time.
The shoulder-length hair that was no different from now.
The exquisite face that was no different from now.
The wonderful atmosphere that was no different from now.
The intellectual appearance that was no different from now.
The only difference was his slightly immature appearance, as well as a pair of pure eyes that had a tranquil and abnormally calm expression.
Rozen knew that look.
It was the same look he had when he was two years old, before he got the miracle.
So, Rozen understood.
The girl in front of him was the same as him in the past.
Both of them had succumbed to their fates and accepted it.
So, even at that time, Rozen didn't know what happened to Matthew, but Rozen knew that the girl in front of him was walking on the path that he had walked before. She didn't treat cruelty as cruelty.
At the moment when he understood this, Rozen could no longer stay alone.
Just like how he accepted Roman, Rozen, who had always rejected others, accepted the girl in front of him.
At the same time, Matthew also accepted the boy in front of her.
Because at that time, Rozen said one sentence to Matthew.
"Since that's the case, I'm your senior."
Just this sentence also pried open Matthew's heart.
This was the scene when the boy and the girl met for the first time.
"Until now … I haven't forgotten senior's words …"
In the fire, only Matthew's weak but serene voice, as if it had some warmth, clearly passed into Rozen's ears.
"For me at that time … senior … was really dazzling …"
Wasn't everyone like that?
People would always have a longing for someone who was similar to them but had done something that they couldn't.
In Matthew's heart, Rozen was such a person.
The two of them had similar pasts, and in the eyes of others, they were both cruel.
However, Rozen obtained a miracle and escaped this fate.
Therefore, as a girl who had yet to obtain a miracle, Matthew felt that this' senior 'was very dazzling.
Because of this, Matthew could tell others from the bottom of her heart.
"To be able to meet senior … is really great …"
The girl's frankness caused Rozen's heart to become extremely complicated.
The words that came out of his mouth were like this.
"I'm just luckier than you."
This was the truth.
Rozen was just luckier than Matthew.
Even if a miracle happened, it was not something that Rozen fought for, but a gift that appeared out of nowhere.
If this wasn't good luck, what was?
But …
"Thanks to this, I can also meet Matthew."
In other words …
"I also think it's great to meet you."
Rozen said with a chuckle, which made Mashu completely relaxed.
"Senpai …"
Matthew involuntarily used the last bit of her strength to hold Rozen's hand.
Rozen immediately grabbed it back, as if he was holding it tightly in his hand, and he kept exerting force.
Under such circumstances, the fire engulfed the entire control room.
However, at that moment, the mechanical system voice also sounded.
"System experiment detected is in progress, manual operation stopped, please resume operation within three seconds."
"3 …"
"2 …"
"1 …"
"Operation cannot be resumed, switching from manual operation to automatic operation."
"Experiment continues, begin to search for master."
"It is detected that the master in the basket is in an abnormal state. The only master on the list is number 1, and number 1 is set as the main subject of the experiment."
"Anti-summon system, start."
