"— — —"
This was a world with nothing.
No direction.
No sound.
No gravity.
No heaven and earth.
Rozen only felt that he was spinning in this world, as if he was involved in a whirlpool. He couldn't control himself at all, and he couldn't even maintain his consciousness.
"This … when is this going to end!?"
Rozen could only shout, but he couldn't even make a sound.
Rozen didn't even notice that his body was changing.
To be specific, his body was getting smaller and smaller.
Obviously, this was the price he had to pay to cross different worlds with the power of Miracle.
In order to get enough time to practice his magic, Rozen naturally couldn't choose those worlds that had a slower time flow than Chaldea. Otherwise, it would be a stupid thing to do in this world, not to mention aging.
Therefore, the door that Rozen chose to open was naturally the one that had a faster time flow than Chaldea. For example, ten days in a different world, but only one day in Chaldea.
That was the only thing that Rozen could do with Miracle.
After all, Miracle only had the power to open the door, it didn't have the function to determine what kind of world was on the other side of the door. What Rozen could do was to determine the object of the door. For example, if the opened door was to the soul, then the opened door was to the soul. The door that Rozen chose to open now was the world with a faster time flow.
As for how fast the time flow was on the other side, whether it would make Rozen so small that he became a fertilized egg, Rozen didn't know.
In other words, it was a very risky move.
But if he didn't do that, Rozen could only stay in Chaldea and wait for the next Rayshift to come, he couldn't do anything at all.
Therefore, they had to take this risk.
"Not to mention, it's also good to open the door to the other world first."
Because as long as he went to the world once, when he opened the door to the other world again, Rozen's body would not be affected.
As long as his body adapted to the different time flow between the two worlds, there would not be a second change.
In the future, if he couldn't stop the burning, and Rozen could only escape with Matthew and Roman, he needed to change at least once.
Instead of that, it was better to prepare in advance.
With such an idea in mind, Rozen gritted his teeth and persevered, letting himself be manipulated in the cross-world passage, and his body gradually became smaller.
15 years old …
12 years old …
10 years old …
7 years old …
5 years old …
Until the age of three, Rozen continued to shrink.
If it weren't for the fact that he was about to lose consciousness and couldn't feel the changes in his body, Rozen would definitely start to worry.
Under such circumstances, Rozen was still shrinking.
In the end, Rozen directly turned into a baby.
If this continued, Rozen could only choose to return to the fertilized egg state.
Fortunately, fate favored Rozen.
At the moment when Rozen turned into a baby, there was finally light in front of him, and a light passage appeared.
Rozen, who turned into a baby, went straight into it.
As a result, Rozen entered a whole new world.
…
Another world.
This was a world far from Chaldea.
In terms of time, Chaldea had come to 2018 AD, which was already the 21st century. In this world, the Industrial Revolution seemed to be still in progress, in the early 20th century.
There was also magic in this world.
However, unlike Chaldea, there were no servants, nor spirits, but there was another kind of existence, a puppet.
To be more precise, it should be called an automaton.
It was a kind of automaton with a built-in magic circuit.
In this world, the so-called magic circuit did not refer to the nerves used to generate magic power. Instead, it was a device similar to a magic circle that could replace the tedious rituals and processes of performing magic. It was a device that could directly activate magic power.
Each of these devices was equivalent to a kind of magic, just like a magic circle. Different magic circles had only one purpose, and the two belonged to the same nature.
Of course, even if there was a magic array, not everyone could use it to perform magic.
First of all, magical power was an essential fuel.
Secondly, if you want to use magic through a magic circle, you also need to have a full understanding of the magic and know how to use it.
The existence of the automaton was to replace all those conditions. As long as someone injected magical power into them, they would naturally and skillfully perform magic as if they were using organs.
This kind of magic through the cooperation between the magician and the automaton to display unprecedented speed and precision was the mainstream in this world, and it was called — — Ingenious Magic.
As for the magician who used this kind of magic, it was called — — Puppeteer.
In the far east of this world, on a remote island, in one of the corners, a light passage suddenly flashed without any warning, like a vortex made of light particles, constantly rotating.
A baby appeared from the light passage, fell on the ground, and was covered by many weeds.
The baby seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He didn't cry or make a fuss. He closed his eyes tightly and fell into a deep sleep.
Then …
"Huh?"
"What's wrong? Master? "
"It's nothing, I just found something interesting."
"Something interesting? Huh? Whose child is this? Why is it in this kind of place? "
"I don't know, but it's not difficult to guess that it's abandoned in this kind of weeds. There's no other possibility."
"That's really pitiful."
"…"
"Master?"
"It's okay, let's go back."
"Then this baby …"
"… Take it back."
"Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, two men appeared from the bushes.
The two men were dressed differently. One was wearing a kimono, and at first glance, it was obvious that he was a man of high status, and the other was wearing a guard's casual clothes, and it was obvious that he was the former's attendant.
Beside these two men, there were also several figures following them.
Those figures were puppets.
The man of high status quietly looked at the baby lying in the grass, and after a while, he squatted down and picked it up.
"I'll do it, Master."
The attendant immediately stepped forward and was ready to take the baby, but he was stopped by the man of high status.
The man continued to look at the baby, and after a while, he nodded.
"It may be fate to meet you here."
The man said so.
"In that case, from today on, you are the third son of Akabane Kuukan."
"I have two sons, one is Akabane Tenzen, and the other is Akabane Raishin. One is a few years older than you, and the other is just born, about the same age as you."
"So, your name is Akabane Narukami."
