Miracle Summoner

"The Reverse Summoning System is activating."

"Commencing Spiritron Transfer."

"Three seconds remaining until Spiritron Transfer."

"Countdown begins."

"3…"

"2…"

"1…"

"Operation complete."

"Mission name — Grand Order— start."

With this mechanical synthetic announcement, a vortex of light unfolded, ushering Rozen into the long-awaited Spiritron Transfer.

It felt as though his entire being had dissolved into spiritrons, traveling through an unseen pathway inaccessible to others. Amidst the dizzying whirl, Rozen successfully crossed through time, arriving at the distant past.

Feeling the firm ground beneath his feet, Rozen slowly opened his eyes.

At the same time, Mash also completed her Spiritron Transfer.

"Clang!"

A brilliant flash of light swept across Mash's body, causing the Chaldea uniform she was wearing to dissipate, transforming into a somewhat revealing battle suit and armored skirt.

"Thunk!"

With a crisp sound, a heavy shield materialized in Mash's hands, its base striking the ground and sending small fragments of stone scattering.

"Fou!"

At the same time, with a cheerful cry, a small white beast leapt off Mash's shoulder.

Who else could it be but Fou?

"You've come along again, haven't you, Fou?"

Mash smiled faintly, unsurprised, but quickly seemed to remember something.

"Right!"

Seeing Fou reminded Mash of something, and she hurriedly looked up at the sky.

There, in the infinite expanse of blue, a light ring composed of what seemed to be endless streams of radiance floated like a branded scar.

"It's here in this Singularity too…"

Mash's expression grew solemn.

It was a sight she had grown accustomed to.

In every Singularity, the sky would manifest such a phenomenon—a light ring that didn't belong to that era.

That light ring, up until now, had defied analysis by Chaldea. All they could observe was the inconceivable heat gathering there.

And every time, that light ring would resonate with Rozen, causing severe physical discomfort.

Only Fou could alleviate Rozen's suffering from this resonance, bringing him relief.

So, seeing Fou instantly reminded Mash of the situation.

And now…

"Senpai…?"

Mash quickly turned her head to look at Rozen beside her and was momentarily stunned.

"Fou! Fouuu!"

Even Fou seemed surprised, circling around Rozen curiously.

The reason was simple.

"What's wrong?"

Rozen stood beside Mash, meeting her gaze with a teasing smile.

His expression was completely normal, showing no signs of the usual discomfort from the resonance caused by the light ring.

"Senpai, you…"

Mash was utterly confused.

"Fou! Fou!"

Even Fou spun around Rozen, looking bewildered.

Unlike before, Rozen showed no signs of the resonance phenomenon triggered by the light ring in the Singularity's sky.

But not only that.

"This… what's going on!?"

An astonished voice came from the communicator on Rozen's wrist. A light screen unfolded before him, revealing Roman, Da Vinci, and Olga Marie.

The voice of disbelief just now had come from those three.

"How… how can this be?"

Olga Marie wore a look of utter shock.

"This is fascinating."

Da Vinci stared at Rozen, her eyes filled with curious light.

"Did you… do something, Rozen!?"

Roman asked, utterly surprised.

The three of them were at a complete loss.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Rozen raised an eyebrow.

In this situation, Roman, Da Vinci, and Olga Marie exchanged uncertain glances.

"Let me explain," Da Vinci said, finally speaking up as she looked at Rozen. "We've discovered that even after performing the Spiritron Transfer, your personal parameters haven't changed at all. You no longer require our Existence Verification."

——Existence Verification.

This was a process mentioned numerous times before.

Because Singularities were a mix of reality and hypothetical worlds, just existing in such a place would render the existence of individuals not belonging to that era ambiguous.

Mash, as a Demi-Servant, was an exception. Servants naturally manifested across various eras, and the Throne of Heroes existed beyond time. As someone fused with a Servant, Mash's existence was fixed even in a Singularity.

But Rozen, as a human, was different.

In the era of the Singularity, the person named "Rorelai Arnett" didn't exist.

To this world, Rozen was an anomaly.

To ensure that Rozen's existence didn't become ambiguous, potentially causing him to disappear or fail to return to the year 2019, Chaldea had to continuously verify his existence.

This meticulous work allowed them to ensure that even the slightest deviation in Rozen's parameters would be corrected.

It was a task with no room for error.

If Rozen's parameters upon returning didn't match their original values, he might be trapped in that era forever, be thrown into an unknown space during Spiritron Transfer, or even vanish completely.

Thus, Chaldea had never relaxed its vigilance in verifying Rozen's existence.

Yet now, they discovered that Rozen no longer needed this verification.

His parameters were stable—frighteningly so, without the slightest fluctuation.

"This…"

Mash's face filled with bewilderment.

Clearly, she hadn't anticipated such an event.

"I see."

Rozen shrugged, his expression indifferent.

After all…

How could Roman and the others possibly know that, after absorbing Foreign Mana and elevating his existence conceptually, Rozen's existence had already transcended casual interference?

Even though the process of ascension was incomplete, Foreign Mana itself was a power beyond the world's recognition. Even at its current stage, it was enough to render Rozen immune to the influence of the Singularity.

The light ring in the sky could no longer affect or interfere with him.

"So why exactly is this happening?"

Roman and the others continued murmuring, trying to figure it out.

Rozen didn't explain, simply offering a suggestion.

"Rather than dwelling on this, you should take a look ahead."

Hearing this, everyone instinctively looked forward.

"…!"

With just one glance, both Mash at the scene and Roman, Da Vinci, and Olga Marie back in Chaldea couldn't help but gasp.
