Bab 637: -629- It's fine, I'm used to it
Finally, Hinowa smoothly entered Rozen's room.
Even though Yaya was very unhappy about it, since Rozen had given the order to let Hinowa in, Yaya reluctantly opened the door and allowed Hinowa to enter.
"S-Sorry for the intrusion..."
Hinowa appeared confident only in front of Yaya. As she entered the room and saw Rozen, she immediately became reserved. Not only did she take off her shoes outside the room, neatly placing them at the entrance, but she also carefully walked inside.
And coming in besides Hinowa were Subaru and Mutsura.
"So, you live in this room?"
"I should have come over yesterday."
Subaru walked in with a disinterested expression, while Mutsura seemed somewhat regretful, looking around Rozen's room.
But in fact, there was no need to look around.
"You two also live here, right? There's nothing to be curious about."
Rozen rolled his eyes.
The Raphael Dormitory was a male student dormitory that only top students in the academy could reside in. On the female side, it was the Gryphon Ladies' Dormitory. Both dorms were the largest in the academy, and apart from personal use rooms and workshops, the students in these dorms received the best treatment in the academy.
Since Rozen, ranked 101st, could stay in the Raphael Dormitory, it was only natural that Subaru and Mutsura could too.
After all, Subaru was ranked 17th, and Mutsura was ranked 28th, both were top-tier individuals selected within the top 50, and they were still in the forefront. There was no reason they couldn't stay in the Raphael Dormitory.
As for Hinowa, Rozen already knew that she was one of the "Thirteen," ranked 8th. She was considered one of the most likely to win at the Night Party and gain the title of Wiseman. Her odds at the betting house were quite high, almost tripled compared to the past, a complete transformation.
(Is this also the talent bestowed by the Domon bloodline?)
Looking at the obedient Hinowa walking in, Rozen couldn't help but feel amazed.
In the past, Rozen had only regarded the Domon clan of the Izanagi as the aristocrats of Japan, without any particular thoughts about this clan.
But it's different now.
Now, Rozen has been adopted as a foster son of the Tsuchimikado clan in the world of Tokyo Ravens, even within the main family. His status as a hidden foster son is concealed from the public, and as a descendant of the main family, he is believed to eventually inherit the role of an Onmyouji in the Tsuchimikado clan.
Being a family descended from the great Onmyouji, Abe no Seimei, the Tsuchimikado clan is the master of Onmyoudou, holding deep-rooted ties with the government and the nation. Until it was later abandoned, the Tsuchimikado clan was in control of the Onmyouji bureau. Their position is somewhat similar to that of the Izanagi clan, led by the Domon family, in this world.
In this world, the Izanagi clan, led by the Domon family, is considered a noble family in Japan, equivalent to the imperial family, playing a crucial role in the nation. They are the pillar of the country and the leading family in the field of Onmyoudou. Even today, they uphold the traditions of Onmyoudou. Due to different circumstances, they gradually began focusing more on shikigami-related techniques, causing many other forms of magic to become lost.
However, regardless of the different paths they've taken due to environmental, era, and civilization changes, both the Domon and the Tsuchimikado families are true masters of Onmyoudou. There is no doubt about this.
Therefore, having already learned Onmyoudou, Rozen is acutely aware of the innate talents that run through the blood of the main family of Onmyoudou.
Rozen even suspects that the Domon family in this world is actually the Tsuchimikado family, but due to different events at a particular era, they didn't develop into the Tsuchimikado family. Instead, they evolved into the Domon family, becoming the main family of the Izanagi clan.
With this in mind, Rozen is not surprised that Hinowa has reached her current level in less than ten years.
(Just wondering what kind of Onmyoudou the Akabane family once inherited.)
You see, in the past, the Akabane family was also a family of Onmyouji, but they abandoned the inheritance of Onmyoudou in line with the flow of the times, eventually focusing on puppetry.
(But even so, strictly speaking, the "Crimson Wing Blood" of the Akabane family still comes from the blood of Onmyouji and has been in conflict with the Izanagi clan.)
Perhaps, these two families of Onmyouji still have some unknown connections.
As a person who inherits both puppetry and Onmyoudou, Rozen's connection with these two families will become even deeper.
(Let's Take it slow.)
Rozen thought about such matters as Yaya went to pour tea and looked at Hinowa, Subaru, and Mutsura, who he had invited to sit.
Of course, only Hinowa sat down for real. As for Subaru and Mutsura, they stood as guards behind Hinowa, one on each side, not sitting with her.
"You two really are straightforward."
Rozen shook his head and then looked at Hinowa.
"Is there something going on?"
Rozen asked.
"No, there's nothing." Hinowa shook her head and then, somewhat tentatively, said, "It's just that the matter of Rozen-sama preparing to challenge the 'Marshal' has been spreading like wildfire within the academy, so..."
"So you've come to check on my condition?" Rozen smiled slightly and said, "Curious when I'll go challenge Magnus?"
"A... a bit..." Hinowa seemed a bit embarrassed.
In this situation, Subaru and Mutsura also spoke up.
"Now there's really no turning back." Subaru didn't mince his words, "If you end up losing to the 'Marshal,' you'll definitely be ridiculed by those guys in the academy. You'll become the laughingstock before the Night Party even starts."
"I agree on this aspect." Mutsura shrugged, "Because of the Night Party, basically all the students in this academy can be considered as enemies. If there's a chance to kick someone while they're down, others will certainly not miss it."
This was a very practical consideration.
However...
"Please don't worry."
Yaya, who had prepared the tea, politely placed the teacups in front of the guests one by one while smiling.
"With Yaya around, Rozen won't lose to anyone. To be precise, as long as Yaya is here, that's enough."
Yaya spoke these words, displaying her sovereignty, and although her face wore a smile, the smile seemed a bit too formulaic.
As for who Yaya's words were directed at, one glance could tell.
"Mn..."
Hinowa trembled all over and then spoke up like this.
"Rozen-sama is already very excellent. Even if using other automatons, he will still emerge victorious," countered Hinowa, causing Yaya's eyes to twitch.
"It's precisely because Rozen is outstanding that he needs an equally exceptional Yaya, so he won't lose to anyone, isn't it?" Yaya responded with a fake smile.
"Rozen-sama doesn't need to rely on others. Even if it's just himself, he won't lose to anyone. Even without exceptional automatons," Hinowa stubbornly retorted.
The two girls locked eyes, both showing hostility.
Seeing this, Subaru and Mutsura also took action.
First to act was Mutsura.
As if anticipating something, Mutsura restrained Subaru.
Almost at the same time, Subaru exploded.
"You bastard! Having Young Miss and still messing around with such a cute automaton! I really can't stand you, ahhhh!"
Subaru made as if to rush at Rozen but failed due to Mutsura restraining him.
"I knew it would turn out like this," Mutsura said nonchalantly, continuing to hold Subaru back.
Rozen, watching the two girls confront each other with anger, lifted the teacup in front of him after a moment of silence.
"It's fine, I'm used to it."
Rozen calmly sipped his tea.
Until a little later...
"Alright."
Rozen stood up and stretched lazily.
"We've rested enough. It's time to go."
Rozen's words broke the silence that had fallen over everyone present.
"Yaya."
Rozen called out to her.
"Yes."
Yaya immediately assumed a docile attitude and came to Rozen's side.
Hinowa, Subaru, and Mutsura also stood up.
"Let's go."
Rozen spoke succinctly, prompting the others to nod.
Thus, the group left the room, heading towards Magnus's workshop.
