Chương 703: -693- The gathering for one person
Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart, Raphael Male Dormitory.
At this moment, many people had gathered outside a room in the Raphael Male Dormitory.
Gathered here were all familiar faces of Rozen.
There was Hinowa, Subaru, and Mutsura, three friends Rozen had known since his childhood.
There were also classmates from the academy like Charl and Sigmund.
Even Yaya was there.
Everyone was gathered outside Rozen's room, their faces filled with worry.
"No! I just can't!"
At a certain moment, Hinowa finally seemed unable to wait any longer and spoke loudly.
"I can't wait any longer!"
After saying this, Hinowa tried to enter the room.
However, as soon as Hinowa made her move, Yaya blocked her.
"You can't go in."
Yaya said these words.
However, this time, Yaya wasn't feeling jealous because Hinowa wanted to see Rozen, and it wasn't out of hostility.
"Rozen said he doesn't want to see anyone right now."
Yaya said this, with an expression filled with indissoluble worry.
This is the current situation.
"What on earth is going on with that guy?" Charl furrowed her brows and said, "He's been holed up in his room ever since he went out a few days ago. He's not attending classes, not showing up for the night party, and it looks like he hasn't even eaten. Does he want to die?"
Charl expressed these words with some annoyance, but her gaze kept drifting toward the direction of the room, indicating that she wasn't completely indifferent to the situation.
Unfortunately, not even Yaya had an answer to this problem.
"Yaya doesn't know what's happening either," Yaya said softly, keeping her eyes lowered. "After investigating Miss Frey's orphanage the last time, when he came back, Rozen just said, 'The matter is resolved,' and nothing else. After that, he secluded himself in his room for training. No matter what Yaya says, he doesn't seem to have much interest."
It was because of this that everyone had gathered here.
Rozen hadn't been attending classes, night party, or even leaving his room. He was spending all his time in seclusion, and Yaya was responsible for bringing his meals from the cafeteria. As for Rozen himself, he didn't step out of his room.
This situation had everyone worried, especially Hinowa. She couldn't see Rozen at all, and it made her increasingly anxious, to the point of almost crying.
This also caused Subaru's emotions to become more and more unstable.
"Do you think hiding like this will make everything easier?" Subaru spoke in frustration. "I'll drag him out if I have to!"
Having said that, Subaru tried to rush inside.
Seeing this, Yaya hadn't had a chance to react, but Mutsura quickly stopped Subaru.
"Don't act impulsively for now," Yuge held Subaru's shoulder and said with helplessness. "I know you're worried, but it's him we're talking about, and even if you try to force him, it might not solve the problem. Instead, you might get kicked out."
Why is it that Rozen, who is clearly intelligent and composed most of the time, can sometimes be impulsive and hot-headed, even when he has weighed the pros and cons of a situation and still chooses to act?
"Just like when we were kids, in the Forbidden Area, when all of us thought it was impossible to get past the Enenra and enter the shrine to obtain the tokens, only that guy dared to use the mountain god, dared to challenge Enenra, and even went so far as to lure Enenra into the shrine, directly detonating so many butterflies, blowing himself and Enenra up."
Mutsura explained, a mixture of helplessness and amusement in his words.
"So, even the smartest people have their tempers. Subaru, it's probably best not to provoke him intentionally."
Hearing Yuge's words, Subaru seemed to recall the events from back then.
Recalling how Rozen, who led a group of kids like them, fearlessly challenged Enenra in the Forbidden Area.
"Tsk..."
At that moment, Subaru clicked his tongue but didn't act impulsively anymore. He turned away and ignored everyone.
"Rozen-sama..."
Hinowa watched this scene, then looked at Rozen's room, her voice filled with worry.
"That's why men are all a bunch of fools. They won't speak up about their problems and always think they can handle everything themselves. Can't they share the burden with those around them?" Charl kept complaining, but her words carried a deeper meaning that anyone could hear.
As for Sigmund, he was standing by Yaya's side.
"Don't worry too much," Sigmund comforted Yaya like a mentor consoling a junior. "I believe Rozen is a very sensible person. He knows that there are so many people here worrying about him, so he'll probably regain his spirit soon."
"Right..." Yaya nodded with a somewhat weary tone. She added, "I'll keep an eye on Rozen, and if necessary, I'll find Shouko and my sisters to figure out a solution."
This was all Yaya could do for now.
At this moment...
"Um... Excuse me..."
With a timid voice, everyone turned their eyes to the end of the corridor where a girl had just arrived. She was observing the situation, appearing as though she wanted to approach but wasn't sure what to do.
This person was Frey.
After a few days, her injuries seemed to have healed completely, and it appeared that her magic outbursts were under control. She seemed to be in good health now.
"Miss Frey..."
"You're here again, huh?" Yaya and Hinowa both looked at Frey, their eyes showing a trace of hostility.
The reason is simple.
"Are you here to visit that guy again today?" Charl stated the reason.
Yes.
Since she was discharged from the hospital, Frey has been coming here almost every day, trying to see Rozen.
The reason is even simpler.
"I want to... thank him..." Frey said weakly.
If you look closely, not only Rabbi but also many dogs were by Frey's side, making it unusually lively.
These dogs were brought out of the orphanage by Loki.
After Frey was discharged and prepared to return to the Night Party stage to save the "Garm" series automata, Loki appeared with these dogs in front of a surprised and excited Frey.
"That guy asked me to take them out of there. I'm returning them to you now."
At the time, Loki had merely left behind these words in a cold tone.
Frey really wanted to ask how he managed to do it.
Loki didn't explain it clearly, only saying something complex and low-pitched.
"From today on, we're free."
After saying these words, Loki left on his own.
Frey didn't know what had happened, but she heard from others that "The Divine Works" had been disbanded by the "Mage's Association," all the people involved in the forbidden experiments were arrested, and even the children who were treated as human test subjects in the orphanage were taken away by the "Mage's Association." Only Loki and Frey, as victims who were already capable of dealing with their own issues, were allowed to move freely.
During this period, Loki and Frey were called by the academy to cooperate with the personnel sent by the "Mage's Association" for an investigation. They provided testimony about what "The Divine Works" had been doing over the years.
Afterwards, Frey learned that the reason the orphanage had disappeared and she and her brother were able to gain their freedom was all thanks to Rozen.
So, these days, Frey comes here every day, even though she hasn't seen Rozen yet.
Just to say thank you.
