In this moment, Rozen's tone lacked decisiveness or firmness; there was only a plain and seemingly natural determination. This indicated that this matter was not just a wish for Rozen.
The term "wish" refers to something one hopes to achieve. However, in Rozen's case, it was not just a matter of hope; it was something that must be realized. Rozen wouldn't simply watch Mash perish.
"Senpai..."
Watching Rozen give such a calm promise, Mash was momentarily stunned, her internal thoughts far from calm.
In this instant, Mash recalled the conversation on the Argo, just before the beginning of the mythological war in the fifth singularity, between Rozen and Rama.
"Love..."
Mash wasn't unaware of the meaning of this term but only knew it as an emotion one should hold towards those they care about and are closest to.
Love for family.
Love for friends.
Love for a romantic partner.
These were all different forms of love, and Mash, still inexperienced, had trouble distinguishing them.
However, in this moment, Mash began to understand the differences between different kinds of love. Even though she was still somewhat confused, she couldn't help but ask a question.
"If this is a curse, Senpai, would you be willing to sacrifice everything just to see me?"
Mash couldn't help but voice this question.
Hearing this, Rozen was also taken aback, then he gazed at Mash, wearing a smile.
"I would."
Rozen answered with the same calm and seemingly natural tone, still wearing a smile.
"Absolutely."
This might not be considered a promise, but hearing this, Mash displayed the most content expression she had worn until now.
"Thank you... Senpai..."
Mash spoke in a dreamy manner.
"Just rest well."
Rozen watched Mash, who seemed to have fully relaxed and was now entering a peaceful sleep, advising her.
Mash nodded slightly and closed her eyes.
Not long after, a steady rhythm of breathing emanated from Mash. Though her face remained pale, it no longer bore the pain evident before, as if she had completely settled into a serene and relaxed state, slipping into a deep sleep.
Rozen simply watched Mash in silence until a considerable time had passed. He then ceased injecting magical energy into the runes engraved on her arm, released her hand, and slowly stood up.
Subsequently, Rozen left the sterile chamber, allowing it to return to its quiet state.
...
Once outside the sterile chamber, the first person Rozen encountered was Olga Marie standing on the seats in the waiting area.
"Is Mash okay now?"
Olga Marie looked at Rozen coming out of the sterile chamber and asked with a complex tone.
"She should be much better."
Rozen gave a brief reply.
"Don't worry." Olga Marie snorted and continued, "Chaldea will allocate some resources to optimize and treat Mash's body condition. With that, Mash should recover to her original state, and her lifespan will be extended slightly."
"What about the observation?" Rozen didn't express an opinion but asked, "Aren't all resources currently focused on observing the singularity? Even if observation is successful, repairing the singularity after losing a Servant will be challenging, right?"
"Indeed, even if observation is successful, it will be difficult to repair the singularity without your Servant. How can you fight without a shield if you only have a sword?" Olga Marie explained without hesitation, "So, even though you have a new Servant now, unless you solve the issue of magical energy, the recovery work for the singularity will be compromised."
"Is that so?" Rozen didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Then, I'll leave it to you."
"I don't need your reminder." Olga Marie turned her gaze towards the direction of the sterile chamber and whispered, "I can only do so much."
After saying that, Olga Marie flapped her wings and flew away.
Then, another person approached.
"Big bro..."
Seeing the person walking towards him, Rozen's tone finally showed a hint of vulnerability.
This was a behavior absolutely unseen in the previous Rozen.
It could be seen that Mash's collapse had an impact on Rozen.
And only in front of Roman would Rozen show this trace of weakness.
Roman looked at his younger brother, who had never shown any weakness in front of legendary heroes and Crowned Servants, feeling both distressed and sympathetic.
"Da Vinci is already working on creating mystic code for auxiliary treatment and body adjustments. The director has also started mobilizing available resources over here."
Roman patted Rozen's shoulder and spoke in a gentle tone.
"As soon as the mystic codes and resources are transferred, I'll immediately begin the optimal healing plan for Mash's current condition. I believe that this way, Mash will soon be able to leave the sterile chamber and continue fighting with you."
Hearing this, Rozen understood the meaning behind Roman's words.
"In other words, Mash won't be able to leave the sterile chamber for the time being?"
Rozen asked.
Roman naturally wouldn't hide it.
"This environment is more convenient for her, considering she grew up here since childhood." Roman consoled, "Don't worry, Mash is much stronger than she appears. She will undergo treatment with anticipation and hope, aiming to catch up with you in the next singularity. Moreover, the treatment may need to be conducted with the assistance of anesthetics and sedatives. Mash will sleep for a while and won't feel lonely."
"Alright." Rozen's expression was somewhat downcast, "How long does the recovery process take?"
"At least a month, maybe several months." Roman seemed uncertain and could only say, "Anyway, Chaldea will do everything in its power to help Mash. Her strength is needed for the foundation of humanity."
Perhaps this was what Roman wanted to convey.
"I understand."
Rozen didn't say much and took out several talismans and runic stones from his pocket.
"These are all the specially crafted healing talismans and runic stones inscribed with runes for healing that I have. Use them if necessary."
Rozen handed these items to Roman.
"Specially crafted healing talismans and runic stones with Primordial Runes? These are quite valuable!"
Roman received them with a surprised expression.
Not to mention the specially crafted healing talismans, just the runic stones inscribed with Primordial Runes would cause a huge commotion if taken to the Mage Association.
After all, it was a crystallization of the wisdom of the gods from ancient times, a lost mystery that could now be seen and studied. Modern magus would go crazy just by looking at the spell formulas and runes, and unless a highly skilled magus, merely looking at them could potentially drive someone insane.
"However..."
Rozen warned, "They are disposable items. Once used, they're gone. Even if you wanted to study them, modern magus wouldn't be able to do it. In fact, without highly skilled magus, merely looking at the spell formulas and runes could lead to madness."
"You must be careful when using them, big bro."
Roman nodded understandingly.
With that, Rozen left the place.
Roman watched Rozen's departure, a complex expression appearing in his eyes.
"So, Solomon..."
Roman self-mockingly spoke.
"Whether meeting someone like him is a good thing or a bad thing, I really don't know."
No one could hear such words.
