"Go find Edel now?"
Stella's unwavering directive left Rozen momentarily stunned.
Obviously, Rozen didn't expect that after hearing his explanation, Stella would give such a direct response.
But to Stella, Rozen's dazed look only fueled her anger.
"What are you spacing out for? Go!"
Stella, like a thoroughly transformed wild princess, pulled Rozen up from the bed.
"Before the family restaurant closes, go find Edel-san and resolve everything now!"
With that, Stella began pushing Rozen.
Rozen, both startled and seeing himself nearly pushed out of the dorm room door, quickly spoke up.
"Why? At least give me a reason!"
Rozen protested.
But Stella's response was immediate and unyielding.
"Reason, reason, you always need a reason. Don't you think a girl searching the whole world for you for two years is enough reason?"
For the first time, Stella recklessly accused Rozen to his face.
"You said it yourself: I'm a brute force tyrannosaurus who crushes everything with strength. I shouldn't overthink complex matters. Don't you think you're overcomplicating things yourself?"
Stella's words left Rozen speechless.
But Stella didn't stop.
"I know you're very smart. Even Twin-Wings said you're not just powerful; your intelligence surpasses that of even the three major powers. You must have thought of many things we haven't, and what you do is definitely right, and no one can say you're wrong."
That's how it was.
Rozen had his reasons and difficulties for leaving Edelweiss.
Rozen traveled from world to world, also with reasons and hardships.
Even when he left worlds without saying goodbye or left regrets behind, moving on to the next in search of miracles and opportunities, he had his reasons and difficulties.
Because Rozen bore more than anyone else, thought more than anyone else, was stronger and smarter than anyone else, his actions were undoubtedly the most correct.
Could personal feelings justify ignoring other real issues?
Perhaps others would impulsively do so, but not Rozen, who was too smart to act impulsively.
Thus, Rozen made those choices.
However...
"Being right doesn't always mean it's right!"
Stella placed her hands on Rozen's shoulders, looking him in the eyes, her gaze like burning crimson flames.
"Considering only what's right isn't enough!"
"No matter how smart you are, you're still my age!"
"No matter how strong you are, you're just a high school student!"
"So, don't overthink it now!"
"Be more willful!"
"Be more indulgent!"
"Be more like yourself!"
Stella's loud declarations pierced Rozen's heart, one after another.
Isn't that the truth?
Though Rozen had lived nearly for a century, he was still a child without much of a childhood.
The past pains and decades of rigorous training made Rozen increasingly powerful but never compensated for this.
It was only after coming to this world that Rozen experienced many ups and downs and a sense of real life, but that was all.
Ten years were not enough to complete Rozen's heart and spirit.
Yet Rozen, extremely intelligent, had many thoughts and thorough considerations despite an incomplete spirit.
But what could a child, no matter how much he thought, figure out?
In the end, as Stella said, he only figured out the correct answers, but they were just correct.
Then, as Rozen himself said, why overcomplicate things?
If he was essentially a child, wouldn't it be better to be more willful?
Of course...
"From a young age, you've lived an extraordinary life, faced various difficulties, hardships, and others' malice and greed. Growing up in such an environment forced you to think more and be smarter. I understand that, and I believe everyone else does too."
Stella said.
As if she could see Rozen's past.
As if she could peek into Rozen's childhood.
"But you are already strong now."
Stella spoke solemnly.
"You are already the strongest Blazer in the world."
"You also possess the intelligence recognized by Twin-Wings."
"So, what are you afraid of?"
Stella's voice was full of strength.
"If someone challenges you, defeat them!"
"If someone schemes against you, repay them in kind!"
"Edel-san also said, that's what you've always been doing!"
"So, if there's a reason you can't be together, use your strength and intelligence to overthrow it, to conquer it!"
Hearing this, Rozen's eyes suddenly widened.
Indeed.
Since Rozen was no longer the child who could only lie on a white hospital bed awaiting death, and had already grown strong, why couldn't he use his strength to fight for what he wanted?
Since Rozen possessed such intelligence, able to outwit and counter even the greatest heroes, why couldn't he use this intelligence to find a solution?
The ambitions of the three major powers?
Edelweiss's kindness?
Could the combination of these factors really be so unsolvable that it necessitated their separation?
Maybe for others, but not necessarily for Rozen!
"I think your intelligence has always been used in battles or for increasing your strength, right?"
Stella smiled in front of the silent Rozen.
"Then from now on, listen to me. Use your intelligence to fight for what you want!"
Not like before, rebelling like a child in Chaldea.
Not like in the past, sitting idly by in non-battle matters.
What he truly wanted and how to achieve it—these were what Rozen should be considering.
"Don't forget, you are Tenkai."
Stella took a deep breath and shouted louder than ever before.
"Be brave!"
"Take initiative!"
"If you're that strong, don't just be a smart person. Be a man others can rely on!"
Stella's words finally broke into Rozen's heart.
Deeply piercing in.
