Chapitre 634: -626- What else can I do?
"Revenge?"
Rozen smiled slightly, suppressing the complex emotions within him as he gave this response.
"You're overthinking. I didn't join the Night Party for that reason."
Rozen's reply was natural, leaving the onlookers puzzled.
"You don't seek revenge, Rozen?" Even Yaya asked, indicating that everyone assumed Rozen's purpose for being here was revenge.
In reality, seeking revenge alone would have made things much simpler for Rozen. It was because Rozen had more than revenge in mind that things became complicated.
"Some things are not as they appear," Rozen said calmly in front of everyone. "Behind the extermination of the Akabane clan lies a very unusual hidden truth."
"An unusual hidden truth?" The group was bewildered.
Seeing their expressions, Rozen didn't elaborate further, simply stating, "The information is still too scarce, and the clues are few. There are only doubts. I am in the process of sorting it out. So, don't think too much. Just know I won't recklessly rush into things like Raishin did."
Rozen's gaze swept over the faces of the group.
"Of course, one of the reasons I joined the Night Party was indeed to measure myself against that guy and settle the score from back then. But revenge is absolutely not my sole objective. You can put your minds at ease."
As he spoke these words, Rozen's expression reverted to its usual lazy and indifferent state, convincing the group of the truth in his words.
In that moment, not just Hinowa, Subaru, and Mutsura, even Yaya visibly relaxed.
Presumably, the people present didn't want to see Rozen consumed by hatred, like Raishin, relentlessly pursuing the power for revenge.
Therefore, seeing Rozen act as usual, devoid of any hint of malice in his words, offering only calm analysis and planning, not only relieved them but also made them genuinely happy.
At least, that's how Hinowa felt.
"Nuragami-sama is truely amazing, always as composed and clever as before," Hinowa remarked, the worry fading from her face, replaced by the youthful expression of a maiden, looking at Rozen with a fervent spark in her eyes. It made Rozen feel a bit uncomfortable.
However, seeing Hinowa's reaction, Yaya seemed to emanate a dark aura again, making Rozen think it best to keep a check on himself.
Of course...
"Thank you for coming all the way here for me, Hinowa."
Rozen scratched his cheek and looked at Hinowa, expressing his gratitude.
This is something one should naturally do, right?
Since the young lady went to such lengths for him, he have to respond in some way, no matter what.
Even though he lack life experience, having lived for decades, at least this aspect of life, Rozen understood.
Given this, Rozen spoke to Hinowa.
"I might do things in a more chaotic manner, but I can assure you that it won't cause any problems. I'll always exercise restraint. You can trust me."
Rozen made this promise.
To this, Hinowa's response was a simple, "Yes!"
It was as if everything she had done had received a response. Her eyes teared up, and she held her hands in front of her, speaking affectionately.
"I believes Nuragami-sama will surely be fine!"
This was Hinowa's response.
The earnestness and warmth in her expression made Rozen's back, which had been itching, start to feel warm.
(Although she was so timid when she was young, she has become so bold now. Truly, people change a lot as they grow.)
But even when she was young, Hinowa was bold at the right times, right?
Otherwise, back then, she wouldn't have given him a bell token as he was preparing to leave the Izanagi clan.
Rozen pondered over such thoughts.
He continued in this way until he noticed the reactions of the others a while later.
"This bastard! Why is he pretending to be nonchalant and cool!?"
Subaru seemed greatly agitated, trembling with anger.
"Though I'm glad the young lady's feelings have been reciprocated, I feel things are going to get complicated."
Mutsura muttered to himself.
As for Yaya...
"Homewrecker, homewrecker, homewrecker, homewrecker, homewrecker, homewrecker..."
This automaton girl seemed completely broken, as if a gear in her had jammed. She emitted black smoke while repeating these words, as if cursing something, sending shivers down the spines of those who heard.
If this continues...
(If this continues, I'm afraid I'll end up in a fight with Subaru like this, and even my 'ally' will betray me, and will probably stab me in the back...)
Rozen's mouth twitched slightly.
So, Rozen quickly changed the topic.
"That being said, the Night Party is about to begin. Due to issues with the Night Party Executive Committee, my ranking is likely to not rise. The priority should be finding a way to improve my ranking, otherwise, I won't even be able to qualify for the Night Party."
Rozen steered the conversation in this direction.
Although the purpose was to divert the topic, it was indeed a problem that needed to be addressed.
Regardless of strength or academics, Rozen was more than qualified to participate in the Night Party, there was no doubt about that.
The issue lay in the fact that Rozen had just entered the school, and his strength had yet to be demonstrated, nor could his academic performance be immediately recognized. The Night Party Executive Committee wouldn't easily grant him qualification or boost his ranking.
In case Rozen used some method to cheat and get his current rankings just to enter the Night Party, what if his goal was to get into the Night Party, what should be done?
Given such concerns, the Night Party Executive Committee would certainly not readily grant qualifications or boost Rozen's ranking.
However, now, the Night Party was approaching, and Rozen indeed didn't have much time.
"In other words, you're planning to find an opportunity to showcase your strength," Subaru said, revealing Rozen's plan, wearing an annoyed expression.
"What are you planning to do then?"
Mutsura became interested.
Yaya and Hinowa pressed their thoughts and listened intently.
Rozen smiled suddenly.
"What else can I do?"
Rozen said without any hesitation.
"In any case, that guy is also in this academy. It wouldn't hurt to see how strong he has become before the Night Party."
The meaning of these words was clear to everyone.
In other words...
"Nuragami-sama, are you planning to confront that person?"
Hinowa exclaimed in surprise, while Subaru and Mutsura exchanged glances.
However...
"I've already decided on this."
Rozen didn't answer directly but said so.
"Anyway, just wait and see."
Rozen smiled like this and didn't say much more.
Seeing Rozen's indifferent expression, although Hinowa and the others were still a bit worried, they were also secretly looking forward to it.
After all, since childhood, Rozen had demonstrated his excellent abilities in front of everyone.
As the only one who could be mentioned in the same breath as that person, Hinowa and the others were also looking forward to it.
They were anticipating how strong Rozen had become now.
After two years, the two boys once acclaimed as "Divine Child" and "Heaven's Child" were destined to meet again here.
And they would showcase their astonishing abilities.
