Bab 148: -145- The uncontrollable palpitation
"Anti-Summoning System activated."
"Commencing Spiritron Transfer."
"Three seconds until Spiritron Transfer."
"Countdown initiated."
"3..."
"2..."
"1..."
"Full operation complete."
"Operational name: Grand Order. Begin."
As the Chaldea system prompts echoed, Rozen, lying within the Rayshift chamber, felt his body turning into particles. He was drawn into a spinning tunnel of light, leaving his current world and era behind.
When Rozen's feet touched solid ground again and his vision returned to normal, the scenery before him had completely changed.
"A grassland?"
Rozen found himself in an expansive grassland that seemed to stretch endlessly, with rolling hills and the occasional shadow of castles in the distance.
Then...
"Thump thump...!"
Rozen's heart suddenly raced, its beats intensifying drastically.
"Ugh...!"
Rozen clutched his chest, his expression contorted in pain.
"Senpai!"
Just as Rozen nearly fell to the ground, Mash reached out to support him.
Mash's uniform had vanished, replaced by a massive cruciform shield in her hand and a combat-ready outfit that accentuated her graceful figure. This was the manifestation of the Servant power within Mash, making her an existence on par with a Servant—an Pesudo-Servent.
However, Mash, despite being equipped for combat, now had an expression of surprise and confusion as she helped Rozen. Her exquisitely pretty face was filled with concern.
"Senpai! Are you alright!?"
Mash quickly inquired.
Rozen merely shook his head in response.
"I'm fine, just felt a sudden palpitation in my chest."
This palpitation was something Rozen had never experienced before.
But he could describe the sensation.
It was almost as if...
"It's almost as if I'm resonating with something dreadful."
Rozen clutched his chest and muttered with a touch of frustration.
"Resonating?"
Mash was taken aback.
Rozen didn't say more, following the palpitation's guidance. He slowly lifted his head and gazed upwards.
In the next moment, Rozen saw it.
"What is that...?"
Mash also looked up, her gaze fixed on the sky, her expression stunned.
Above them was an expanse of azure sky.
White clouds drifted in the sky.
Gentle breezes wandered through the air.
This boundless blue sky was something that couldn't be seen in Chaldea, situated high up in the snowy mountains.
Under normal circumstances, setting aside Rozen, even Mash would undoubtedly be moved by this sight.
However, within this breathtaking scene was an exceptionally unusual presence.
It was...
"A halo...?"
Mash murmured.
Indeed.
On the boundless blue sky sat a massive halo.
It was as if a void had opened in the sky—not a cloud could enter, nor could the wind escape. The sight was both beautiful and unnerving, with an overwhelming sense of existence.
"Thump thump...!"
Rozen's heart raced once more.
"Is that it!?"
Rozen gripped his chest tightly, his complexion becoming grim.
Rozen could be certain that the cause of his unusual experience was the halo above. Seeing that Mash didn't exhibit any odd behavior, this palpitation should only affect Rozen.
"What on earth is happening!?"
While tightly clutching his chest, Rozen felt another strange sensation.
This sensation was familiar to Rozen.
"This is..."
Rozen realized it, but his chest became uncomfortable once more.
"Senpai! Senpai!"
As Rozen's expression grew increasingly pained, Mash's voice carried a trace of anxiety.
Just then...
"Fou!"
In response to the familiar call, an unbelievable white creature emerged from behind Mash's shield.
"Fou?!"
Mash's expression turned to astonishment.
Rozen was also surprised.
He hadn't expected this adorable companion to undergo a Spiritron Transfer just like the incident in Fuyuki City.
"Fou!"
Fou emitted an unclear sound and then darted into Rozen's arms.
A faint stream of mysterious light flickered over Fou's body.
"Huh?"
Rozen let out a soft sound.
"What's wrong, Senpai?"
Mash hurriedly asked.
"It's nothing." Rozen shook his head, touched his chest, and said with puzzlement, "I just suddenly feel better."
Indeed.
For some reason, Rozen's chest had abruptly stopped feeling uncomfortable.
However, the palpitation and strange sensation persisted, showing that Rozen wasn't unaffected but that the effect had weakened.
"Did you do this, little guy?"
Rozen looked at Fou in his arms with surprise.
"Fou!"
Fou merely looked up and let out a small sound.
Naturally, even if Rozen understood the Eight Languages, Fou's language wasn't among them. Consequently, he couldn't understand what Fou was saying.
This left Rozen somewhat puzzled.
"What in the world is going on?"
Rozen furrowed his brow.
"Ding ding! Ding ding!"
At that moment, the communicator on Rozen's wrist began to sound.
He immediately activated it.
In the next second, a magical circle-like light projected a holographic screen in front of Rozen.
On the screen, Roman's figure began to appear.
"Great! We're in contact!"
Roman sounded eager.
"What just happened? We suddenly detected a significant change in your heart rate!"
With Chaldea's facilities functioning normally, everything operated around Rozen, assisting in every possible way. This included ensuring Rozen's existence remained valid, preventing him from losing meaning and being unable to return to Chaldea.
Furthermore, they conducted surveillance and analysis around Rozen, with him at the center.
Naturally, this encompassed scanning Rozen's physical condition to ensure he was in good health.
Just now, Chaldea detected an abnormality in Rozen's body and almost fell into chaos.
"Doctor."
Mash's expression turned serious.
"Please take a look at this."
Mash also activated the communicator on her wrist, aligning the screen with the sky.
"This is...!?"
Roman's expression turned surprised.
"What is that!?"
Roman's exclamation echoed the questions of everyone else.
With one hand holding Fou and the other covering his heart, Rozen looked up at the peculiar halo in the sky.
"What in the world....?"
Rozen was left with just this question in his mind.
What was that halo?
And why was he experiencing this palpitation towards it?
Rozen's thoughts were somewhat chaotic.
The only thing he could be sure of was...
"That is definitely connected to the Human Order Incineration."
This was the one certain thing.
