In the end, Rozen lost consciousness.

Not because he couldn’t stay awake, but because he was reassured because Yaya was safe.

“Yaya will protect you.”

When he heard Yaya said that while crying, he let his consciousness faded away.

When he woke up, he was already in a familiar room.

There was an incense burner beside the bed.

The room was full of nice aroma.

That was …

“Karyuusai’s mansion …”

Did he come there again?

“What about the injury …?”

No pain at all.

However, that was not surprising at all.

Rozen burned his skin in order to stop the bleeding.

Shouldn't it leave a scar there? And the pain was gone?

The next moment, a tingling sensation came from his abdomen.

On the contrary, Rozen was relieved.

“Fortunately, the pain is proof that my body is still intact.”

Rozen opened the quilt slightly and looked at his abdomen.

He saw a bandage was wrapped around Rozen’s abdomen.

“Irori’s doing?”

Yaya should not learn that yet.

However, no matter who did it, it was a good thing to be able to stay alive.

“Otherwise, I don’t have the face to see the unknown who gave me Miracle.”

Rozen completely relaxed, lying under the quilt.

When he was looking at the ceiling, Rozen began to show his emotions.

“Old man …”

A father that took care of Rozen and helped him to survive in that world.

“Nadeshiko …”

He didn’t have a good or bad relationship with her, but he really cared about his sister.

“Are you really dead?”

Rozen could not help but mutter.

He clenched his fist tightly.

“Without seeing your dead bodies, I will never believe you were dead.”

No.

Even if he could see the body, Rozen did not believe they would die like that.

Even Olga Marie could survive in the form of familiar, so nothing was impossible.

“I believe in miracles.”

That was what Rozen had always insisted on.

“So, I also believe that you must be alive.”

“Even a person like me can survive because of miracles, and I believe a good person like you will also be looked after by miracles.”

Rozen believed.

And …

“I will definitely find out what caused all of this.”

Rozen vowed to himself.

What emerged from his mind was Akabane Tenzen’s face.

He was thinking of two faces right now.

One was the righteous brother, who was calm and magnificent in the past.

The other one was the cold and relentless murderer in the current world.

Those differences made Rozen think …

“What happened to you, big brother?”

“Did you really kill all Akabane Clan members?”

Rozen wanted to know the reason behind Akabane Tenzen’s act.

“Just because you need Crimson Blood as materials to make something stronger than the banned doll?”

“Can you give up your loved ones and your family for that kind of thing?”

“I don’t want to believe it …”

How could he believe it?

“I don’t want to do that kind of thing for my research.”

But Akabane Tenzen was really attached to automaton.

In the past, Akabane Tenzen often rejected the clan’s proposal to use the clan’s puppets, and he has been immersed in creating automaton.

The so-called obsession was driving people crazy.

If Akabane Tenzen discovered in his own research some major secrets that ordinary people simply did not notice, what was hidden in the process of making of automaton, then it was no wonder that madness will swallow him up.

Rozen remembered something when he thought about Akabane Tenzen.

That was when Akabane Kuukan sent out Rozen to look for Shouko Karyuusai, then created dolls for the family, and when Rozen met Akabane Tenzen.

At that time, when those two were about to part, Akabane Tenzen said that …

“Take care.”

Rozen thought that was had a different meaning behind it.

And if it had a meaning, then, before the disaster of the Akabane Clan happened, was there any sign that he saw but failed to realize?

Rozen’s brain immediately operated quickly.

At that moment, Rozen finally realized various anomalies from his memory.

For example …

“The marriage between the Akabane Clan and Izanagi Clan.”

There was a big secret; those clans with different identities would not suddenly want to have a family relationship.

Another example …

“Five years ago, Nadeshiko behaved strangely.” At that time, Nadeshiko’s smile and expressions when she knew Rozen’s marriage, there must be something about that too.

“What is the truth behind all of that?” Rozen realized there were so many things he didn't know about his family.

If five years ago, when he had to marry Domon Hinowa, there were secrets behind the marriage.

The reason why he didn’t know anything was that Rozen was not interested in all of that before.

But who could think those events were leading his clan to the ultimate tragedy?

But that was not Rozen’s fault.

Even if he could turn back the time, Rozen may not be able to solve all the problems.

He didn’t have enough strength.

Moreover, Akabane Kuukan chose not to tell him the secrets about all of those things, which proved that he was not suitable to be involved.

“It seems I have to investigate this matter.” Rozen decided.

“Let’s start with Izanagi Clan.”

However, his decision was immediately cut off by someone’s voice.

“I advise you not to do that kind of thing so casually.”

A voice passed into Rozen’s ear.

“Do you want to die?” The voice was so chilling.
