章 1222: -1207- Where we left off?
The next day, the Harurouin Festival was held as scheduled, bringing the liveliest day of the year to Itogami Island.
Perhaps to compensate for the impact of yesterday's events, the Management Cooperative went all out to make this year's festival more luxurious and grand than ever before, gradually allowing tourists and citizens to forget about yesterday's incident and immerse themselves in the festivities.
In this situation, Rozen and his companions were all absent from home.
Nagisa, Avrora, and Kanon seemed to have gone to the hospital with Kojou to visit the heavily injured Tokoyogi Yuuma, then prepared to carry on with their own festival plans.
Astarte accompanied Natsuki to the Management Cooperative, although it was unclear what they were discussing.
As for Rozen, he received a call from Asagi and Motoki early in the morning, facing complaints from both of them.
"Because of yesterday's spatial anomaly, I was directly summoned by the Management Cooperative. I spent the whole day dealing with the chaotic transportation and communication systems, and today I have to continue working to revise the harbor's disaster management procedures. You guys just go and have fun by yourselves," Asagi said, her tone full of resentment and a hint of vindictiveness.
Surely, as a result of such hard work, Asagi would demand a hefty sum from the Management Cooperative, making them bleed profusely?
As for Motoki...
"Such a big incident happened, and my family was affected too. I need to take care of some family matters, so you guys don't need to wait for me," Motoki sighed continuously on the other end of the phone. As an important part of the management of Itogami Island, Motoki's family must be overwhelmed now, and it's only natural for him to be called back to help.
So, the wish of Rozen and his group to enjoy themselves during the Harurouin Festival seemed to come to an end.
After finishing their respective tasks, Kojou planned to return to the hospital to take care of Tokoyogi Yuuma and have a good talk with her. Nagisa, Avrora, and Kanon would go with him, and Nagisa even had a determined look as if she intended to get to the bottom of things, determined to make Tokoyogi Yuuma apologize to Avrora. Tokoyogi Yuuma's ears might not have peace from the bombardment of this determined girl.
Of course, even without these, Tokoyogi Yuuna would not have an easy time.
As one of the masterminds behind this incident, Tokoyogi Yuuma would surely face the greatest accountability, and she would have to bear the consequences of her actions.
However, she seemed surprisingly relieved and accepted it calmly.
After all, when Kojou and the others went to visit Tokoyogi Yuuma, Rozen also went with them and, as agreed earlier, nullified Tokoyogi Yuuma's contract, turning her back into a regular person.
Tokoyogi Yuuma, feeling relieved, said that it was already good enough.
"Living as ordinary people with Kojou is also very good."
Tokoyogi Yuuma's words made the atmosphere in the hospital ward awkward for a moment, almost causing Kojou to panic.
"It sounds like you're getting married," Nagisa joked, making the whole ward lively.
But looking at Kojou's nervous appearance and Tokoyogi Yuuma's hearty laughter with slightly blushing cheeks, these two might really make it, who knows.
Unfortunately, Rozen didn't fare any better.
Because of yesterday's events, Yukina gave Rozen a good lecture, seeming to be angry about being abandoned in the shopping center and the altercation with Giada.
It's more accurate to say that as the person involved, it's impossible not to feel angry.
At that time, Rozen's actions caused the entire prison barrier to become history, and the people around couldn't possibly not be affected.
Almost all the prisoners in the prison barrier perished, and Yukina and her group barely escaped. Even though Rozen said that he had already asked Altera to protect everyone secretly, it's a fact that so many people were endangered. Being lectured was inevitable.
"Why doesn't the Lion King Agency just issue an assassination order for dangerous individuals like you?" Kirasaka Sayaka even complained indignantly, as if she wanted to settle accounts with Rozen as she did before. However, she was almost scared away by Rozen's gaze, and her psychological shadow almost resurfaced.
In short, there must have been many post-event situations, and it's impossible to generalize, but the result of these situations prevented Rozen and his group from enjoying themselves at the Harurouin Festival.
Although many people felt regretful about this, overall, Itogami Island was able to turn the danger into safety, and everyone was quite satisfied.
The only dissatisfied person was La Folia Rihavein.
...
Itogami Island, Central Airport.
At this time, Rozen and Yukina came here together to see someone off.
"Mm..."
La Folia pouted rarely, complaining like a sulking child.
"I was ordered to return to Aldegyr on the day of the Harurouin Festival, how annoying. Father is really hateful."
La Folia felt strongly dissatisfied about this.
Beside her, Kirasaka Sayaka said:
"Itogami Island has just experienced such a big event, and you were attacked here before. It's normal for the country to be worried about this. Even Itogami Island is on edge, fearing that Your Highness will encounter another accident. They won't be able to bear the responsibility if something happens again, so it's better for both sides if you hurry back."
Kirasaka Sayaka sincerely believed so.
But that's the truth.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safe return of the princess, the Lion King Agency also issued instructions for Sayaka to escort La Folia back to her country.
In other words, Sayaka was also preparing to leave Itogami Island.
"I re~~~ally don't want to leave Yukina's side, but this time I have no choice. Yukina, you must take good care of yourself and don't let any perverts get to you!"
Sayaka felt extremely worried about this.
"I know, Sayaka. I will also carry out my mission well and keep an eye on senpai, not letting him cause any more trouble."
Yukina didn't catch Sayaka's underlying tone, instead understanding it like this, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her words, letting others know that Yukina was still angry.
"I mean, you guys should've had enough by now. Talking about 'pervert' and 'cause trouble' again and again, making me seem like some dangerous person."
Rozen could only argue like this.
Then, Rozen turned his head and looked at La Folia.
Rozen didn't feel particularly reluctant about the departure of the princess.
However, recalling some of the ambiguities that had occurred between them before, Rozen's mood was somewhat unusual, leaving him somewhat puzzled.
"Hehe..."
La Folia seemed to have seen through Rozen's thoughts and revealed a mischievous smile.
"Don't worry, if I have the chance, I will definitely come back."
La Folia showed a beautiful smile to Rozen.
"At that time, let's continue from where we left off, okay?"
Beneath her beautiful smile lay such mischief.
"From where we left off...?"
La Folia's words successfully caught the attention of Yukina and Sayaka.
The two looked over, their eyes full of suspicion.
