-618- What would you do then?

Karyusai Shouko was indeed anxious.

If not, the premonition of the reverse summoning of the "Miracle" would not have appeared.

To trigger the premonition of the reverse summoning of the "Miracle," a person deeply connected to Rozen must genuinely call out to him from the heart, so it must be a world Rozen has visited before to cause this phenomenon.

Moreover, the deeper the connection with Rozen, the easier the reverse summoning would be triggered.

This is because the deeper the connection with Rozen, the more likely it is for that person to have a hundred percent loyalty to Rozen, entrust their own soul to Rozen, become Rozen's familiar, and form an absolute contract.

Therefore, the deeper the connection with Rozen, the more likely it is for a spontaneous connection through the "Miracle" to penetrate the soul of the other person, open the gate between Rozen and the other person through their own power, and prepare to turn the other person into a pure record, inscribed into Rozen's soul at any moment.

For individuals already worthy of being Rozen's familiar, they don't even need a call that deeply penetrates the soul. As soon as they are in danger, they will immediately trigger a reverse summoning through the connection of the "Miracle" towards Rozen.

Like Mash and Asuna, these two girls are the closest to meeting the conditions. Once they are in danger, Rozen would definitely react on this side. This is one of the reasons Rozen can confidently engage in training and traveling.

On the other hand, the connection between Karyusai Shouko and Rozen can hardly be described as deep. The interaction between the two parties can even be described as relatively weak, merely having lived together for a month and having some trading and gambling agreements.

In this way, the fact that Karyusai Shouko could form a reverse summoning towards Rozen definitely indicated that something must have happened that made her desperate enough to want Rozen back to resolve the situation, otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.

Thus, Rozen stared intently at Karyusai Shouko, attempting to discern her intentions.

Irori, Yaya, and Komurasaki, the three dolls from the "Setsugetsuka" series, held their breath due to the change in atmosphere.

Karyusai Shouko endured Rozen's gaze, knocked the ashes off her pipe, and calmly spoke.

"In these two years, Yaya has learned quite a few techniques using her power according to your initial instructions. You'll probably be quite surprised when you use her now, won't you?"

Karyusai Shouko suddenly said these words without rhyme or reason.

Rozen immediately turned to look at Yaya, who was hugging him, her face right in front of him.

Yaya also turned her head, meeting Rozen's gaze, her eyes slightly moist.

Subsequently, Yaya slowly brought her face closer.

"Bang!"

Rozen's fist landed on Yaya's head.

Yaya let out a cry of pain, covering her head, and rolled on the tatami.

Only then did Rozen retract his fist.

"I'm not surprised, but I'm definitely startled," Rozen said with a wry smile, subtly shifting the atmosphere.

Karyusai Shouko sighed softly and got straight to the point, "I have two automata as outstanding as Yaya."

Her words seemed to hint at something, leaving everyone present astonished.

"M-Master...!?"

Irori widened her eyes.

"Shouko?"

Komurasaki stood frozen.

"Could it be..."

Yaya, sensing ominous signs, leaped off the tatami and assumed a defensive posture towards Karyusai Shouko, as if anticipating the arrival of a third party, her face vigilant.

"You..."

Even Rozen furrowed his brows, seemingly understanding what Karyusai Shouko intended to convey, and he looked at her intently.

In this situation, Karyusai Shouko spoke calmly, unaffected, "I can give you my proudest creations—the three automata from the 'Setsugetsuka' series."

That was what Karyusai Shouko wanted to say.

Before the three sisters could say anything, Rozen already spoke straightforwardly, "What do you want me to do?"

Isn't it just like that?

The three automata from the "Setsugetsuka" series, the three supreme masterpieces in the world.

These three girls, with astounding value, price, and status, couldn't simply be gifted for no reason.

"Don't tell me it's another bet?" Rozen said, half-smirking.

To this, Karyusai Shouko didn't even crack a smile, closing her eyes and spoke with a slow voice.

"In a automaton magic academy in the West, there will be a grand event soon."

Karyusai Shouko's voice seemed to come from a distant place, reaching Rozen's ears.

"I want you to attend this event, defeat all the hindrances, and acquire the title that can only be obtained at this grand event."

Hearing this, Rozen narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything else, just staring straight at Karyusai Shouko.

"Nuragami..."

"Master..."

"Everyone..."

Yaya, Irori, and Komurasaki, the three sisters, opened their mouths to say something, but they couldn't utter a word after seeing Karyusai Shouko's cold expression.

Wasn't it just like this?

"If I fulfill your wish, will you give me your daughters?" Rozen pointed out calmly.

"Yes."

Karyusai Shouko nodded without a hint of hesitation.

In response, the three sisters seemed to have objections, but seeing Karyusai Shouko's indifferent expression, they couldn't say anything.

As for Rozen...

"What if I refuse? What would you do then?" Rozen probed quite openly.

However...

"You'll do it," Karyusai Shouko smiled, "After all, the person you asked me to find is in that academy."

Upon hearing this, Rozen raised his head abruptly.

Various emotions began to surface in his eyes.

"Is that so?" Rozen's tone turned somewhat complicated, "Did you find him?"

"Yes, indeed," Karyusai Shouko nodded, "He is the most famous prodigy there, so outstanding that he's often referred to as the one closest to that title in the academy's history, especially at this grand event."

In other words...

"He will also participate in the grand event you mentioned, right?" Rozen glanced at Karyusai Shouko.

"Exactly."

Karyusai Shouko nodded once again.

Silence filled the air between Rozen and Karyusai Shouko.

Yaya, Irori, and Komurasaki seemed a bit uneasy, but none of them dared to interrupt at this moment.

Even Kinu and Gyokuto remained still, Kinu perched on Rozen's shoulder and Gyokuto nestled in his embrace, quietly observing this scene.

After a long while...

"Alright."

Rozen suddenly smiled and stood up.

"Let me go and see this grand event."

Rozen made this decision.

In this moment, a relieved expression appeared in Karyusai Shouko's eyes.

Moreover, this sense of relief carried a hint of sadness and sorrow.

"I will prepare everything for you."

Karyusai Shouko hid the sadness and sorrow in her heart and even concealed her relief, saying so.

"After it's done, Irori and Komurasaki will be yours."

This was also Karyusai Shouko's decision.

And so, Rozen decided to enroll at the Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart.

And he headed straight for the night party.
