"Senior …"
Feeling Rozen's hand caressing her head, Matthew felt at ease and guilty at the same time. Ice (Fire).
"I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Mashu said with a bit of disappointment.
Obviously, what Rozen had just said was true.
Matthew was indeed blaming herself for not being able to protect Rozen.
That was only natural, wasn't it?
All along, Matthew had regarded herself as Rozen's shield. She did not expect herself to exert a strong combat power, but only hoped that she could protect Rozen, so that Rozen could move around in each singularity with peace of mind.
For this reason, Matthew had been persisting in training for half a year, just so that she could come in handy when Rozen needed her.
"We've already made a promise …"
Half a year ago, when Rozen left Chaldea, the two had made a promise that they would grow together and continue on the path of laying the foundation of humanity together.
In the end, after half a year, Rozen had indeed grown to an extremely astonishing level. From the second singularity onward, he had frequently come up with various means that surprised Matthew. His attainments in magic had even improved by leaps and bounds, showing his extraordinary qualities and knowledge. In just half a month, he had broken through three singularities and arrived at the fifth singularity.
On the other hand, although she had also grown, she was not only inferior to Rozen, but she also could not protect Rozen. Even when she was closest to Rozen, she still caused Rozen to be hit by Cu Chulin's Magic Spear. If it were not for Rozen's superb ability, perhaps Rozen would have died by now.
At the thought of that consequence, Matthew could not turn a blind eye to it. Feelings of self-blame kept surging in her heart.
However, Matthew did not show it. She had always concealed it well in front of others.
But who was Rozen?
"I've known you for a long time. I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at you."
Rozen shrugged.
Rather, even if he didn't see Matthew, just based on his understanding of Matthew, Rozen could guess what Matthew was thinking.
Otherwise, Rozen wouldn't have come here immediately.
"Senior …"
After learning about this, not only did Matthew not feel comforted, but she was even more disappointed.
"Am I useless? Senior? "
Matthew's voice became very weak.
"Why do you say that?"
Rozen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he asked with rare patience.
"Because not only was I unable to protect Senior, but I also made Senior worry so much. I am clearly Senior's follower, so I should be helping Senior solve his problems."
Matthew's disappointment seemed to be out of control.
To this …
"You're wrong." Rozen shook his head and said: "The existence of the servant is not to help the master solve problems, and the master does not form a contract with the servant to get a helper who can solve problems, but to summon the servant to fight together."
If it was just to solve problems, there was a way.
However, in the face of the battle, no matter how hard humans tried, their power was limited. They must rely on the power of the guardian of the world itself.
The original Heroic Spirit Summoning was to protect the world and fight against the catastrophe that could destroy primates, so the world itself summoned the seven heavenly messengers.
Therefore, the existence of the Brave Spirits itself was the world's defense mechanism, not to solve problems for the master.
At least, Rozen didn't need that kind of helper.
"I'm a master. What I lack are companions, familiars, and servants to fight alongside me. If it's just thinking and solving problems, I can do it myself. It's precisely because there are some things that I can't do by myself that I need to form a contract with you."
Rozen said to Matthew.
Although there was some comfort in it, basically, that was indeed Rozen's idea.
If he could do everything, then Rozen didn't need to summon any servant and servant.
Because he needed the power of servant and servant, Rozan Can needed to practice Summoning to the end.
Of course, that was just a trivial reason.
The reason why Rozen practiced Summoning to the end was to explore the mystery and master the miracle. Fundamentally speaking, it was a very orthodox magician's idea.
However, there was no need to say that now, otherwise, it would be too inconsiderate.
Even though Rozen was far from being considerate, in front of Matthew, Rozen has always been subconsciously accommodating and gentle.
Under such circumstances …
"But, I was right beside senpai, but senpai was almost killed …"
Mashu finally said what was bothering her in her heart.
"Well, it can't be helped, right?" Rozen said helplessly, "Cu Chulin's Magic Spear is indeed too fatal to humans like us. It's more terrible than any noble phantasm. It can even reverse the cause and effect. Even if Teacher Skaha was beside me, I might not survive that situation."
That was also a fact.
"No matter what, the opponent is the Celtic King, the Child of Light in Ulster's legend, the son of Sun God Lug, a demigod hero. You are only a sub-servant who has the power of the Heroic Spirit for less than a year, and you can go all the way to this Singularity. That's enough to prove your excellence. There's no need to be depressed because of that."
Rozen rubbed Matthew's head savagely, and when Matthew exclaimed, he said with a smile.
"Besides, compared to you, the Golden Crow was closer to me. It's better to say that it was on me, but it couldn't react in time to protect me."
That was also a fact.
After the incident, the Golden Crow was indeed very angry about not being able to react in time to protect Rozen from the Magic Spear. Moreover, the opponent was just the son of Sun God, the Child of Light, a demigod. It was the symbol of the sun itself, yet it was tricked by the opponent. It could be said that the Golden Crow was furious.
If it wasn't for Rozen's permission, the Golden Crow would have definitely revealed itself and unleashed all its power as a god.
At that time, all the servants present would not be spared. Rozen's mana would also be completely drained, and all the natives would die on the spot.
Of course, Rozen wouldn't let the Golden Crow do that. In the end, it took a lot of effort to appease it.
"So, it's not that being close is useful. The power of the Magic Spear doesn't mean that you're not capable enough."
Rozen comforted Matthew bit by bit.
"If you really can't let it go, then redouble your efforts next time." Rozen looked at Mashu and said, "It's normal to fail for the first time. What we have to do is not to fail a second time, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Matthew's eyes slightly lit up.
"Don't let a second failure happen …"
Matthew whispered in a low voice and then showed a firm expression.
"Yes, Senior." Matthew said very seriously, "I won't let a second failure happen."
If there is a next time, I must protect Senior and Master.
The disappointment in Matthew's heart was gradually replaced by such determination.
Seeing this, Rozan Can smiled with satisfaction.
