On the other side...
"Is this really a good idea?"
Inside the antique shop, Yukari Endo, who watched Rozen and Yukina leave, suddenly spoke up.
"Handing over the Lion King Agency's magical knowledge like this, aren't you afraid it will shake the foundation of the Lion King Agency?"
Yukari's words seemed like she was talking to herself.
In reality, at some point, three various animals appeared around Yukari.
"I objected to this."
A sharp-eyed old eagle spoke these words.
"The magical knowledge accumulated by the Lion King Agency throughout history is the foundation of our world. It contains not only the secrets like the 'Divine Vibration Wave Drive' that only the Lion King Agency can achieve, but also many spells, theories, and martial implements developed by mages. With these, the Lion King Agency can make all magic criminals fear, even the Primogenitors fear us a bit, because although we may not match their power, we possess secrets that threaten their existence."
The eagle spoke solemnly, revealing discomfort and displeasure, with the voice of an elderly man.
Then...
"To hand over such wisdom to a witch's brother, and moreover, a human boy who may or may not be an ally, just to secure a chance to monitor from the sidelines, is simply foolish, isn't it?"
This voice sounded young and pleasant, yet carried an indescribable sense of age and antiquity.
The owner of the voice was a cute field mouse.
The mouse didn't show the displeasure like the eagle did; it spoke with a playful tone.
"I really don't understand why you would suggest such a thing, Shizuka."
The words from the mouse were directed at the last animal present.
It was an exceptionally wise and calm-looking owl.
"I have already explained the reasons, and you all agreed in the end."
The owl's mouth emitted an equally wise and calm voice.
It was the voice of Shizuka Koyomi.
At this point, the true identities of the three individuals who appeared here need no further guessing.
—The Three Saints.
At the apex of the Lion King Agency, managing the entire Lion King Agency and all magical criminal cases nationwide are three of the strongest attack mages in human society.
Now, these three people appeared here.
However, like Yukari Endo, they did not appear in person but gathered together in the form of manipulated familiars, communicating with each other.
And the topic of discussion among them naturally concerned the handling of Rozen.
The magical wisdom accumulated by the Lion King Agency throughout history.
That truly is an incredibly valuable asset.
You see, in all mysterious worlds, the foundation for an organization to establish itself is not something else but its inheritance.
And the so-called inheritance refers not only to talent but also to the knowledge that can be imparted to talent.
Just like the Lion King Agency, without a large amount of knowledge of magic, jujutsu, witchcraft, and various spells, it cannot cultivate batches of attack mages.
Not to mention, abilities like Spirit Vision, which Yukina excels at, are extremely rare and valuable skills. Being able to glimpse a few seconds into the future, this future-sight ability is incredibly useful, as evidenced by Rozen's near-miss encounter with Queen Medb's use of future sight. It's definitely a rare power.
Then there's the secret technique like the 'Divine Vibration Wave Drive'. Only the Lion King Agency can realize it in the world. It can be engraved on weapons, making them capable of nullifying magic and breaking through countless barriers. Hence, the development of martial implements like the 'Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven' has made all demon races fear, including the Primogenitors.
In addition, the Lion King Agency also possesses numerous magical techniques and knowledge, all of which are the foundation upon which the Lion King Agency stands in this world.
With them, the Lion King Agency can enter the view of all forces in the world, making even the Primogenitors take notice.
Such inheritance should have been preserved as the most important thing within the organization. If something goes wrong, the foundation of the Lion King Agency will be shaken.
Now, handing over such an important thing, even though it has been personally handled by the Three Saints and Yukari Endo, a specially-appointed magical instructor, and heavily safeguarded on the grimoire, is simply too confused.
To be blunt, if the past rulers of the Lion King Agency knew about this, they would definitely be furious and would climb out of their grave to clean up and stop such foolishness.
However, in the end, the Lion King Agency made this difficult choice.
There's no other way.
"If he had just sealed the Fourth Primogenitor, we wouldn't need to go this far."
Through the owl familiar, Shizuka Koyomi spoke solemnly.
"But the problem is, he didn't just seal the Fourth Primogenitor, he also awakened the God of Fault."
As soon as this was said, all the rulers of the Lion King Agency present held their breath.
That's right.
For the Lion King Agency, Rozen's actions are far more terrifying than the threat posed by the Fourth Primogenitor itself.
"The gods have long been extinct since ancient times, leaving only the Primogenitors cursed by the gods, who handed the world over to humans and demons."
Shizuka Koyomi's gaze swept across the audience.
"And yet, Minamiya Nichiyo is able to easily awaken the once-dead God of Fault. Regardless of how he did it, if he recklessly uses this power and awakens the ancient gods, will the world still belong to humans and demons?"
This is the reason why the Lion King Agency had to compromise.
"Not every god can remain asleep like the God of Fault, unwilling to be revived."
The field mouse also fell silent for a moment before sighing.
"So, no matter what, we must send someone to monitor Minamiya Nichiyo. On the surface, it's to guard the seal, but in reality, it's to prevent Minamiya Nichiyo from performing such miracles and awakening the gods again, right?"
The eagle also had to reluctantly admit this with a hint of reluctance.
"Compared to the issue that could shake the existence of humans, demons, and even the world, we, the Lion King Agency, must compromise and sacrifice... right?"
Endo Yukari muttered to herself as if in a dream.
"That's right," Shizuka Koyomi said lightly, "And besides, even though we've handed over the inheritance knowledge, everyone still has reservations, don't they?"
For example, the special abilities that the beings known as the "Three Saints" possess, enabling them to become the strongest attack mages, are naturally not something they can give away.
"As long as we can continue to preserve the inheritance and remain the strongest, then the Lion King Agency will not lose its foundation and will still be able to stand in this world."
"That's our only bottom line."
"I hope in the end, the Divine Child will be led to our side."
The beings named the "Three Saints" each expressed their thoughts and finally acknowledged this decision.
Then, one by one, the owl, the eagle, and the mouse disappeared, leaving only the black cat.
Endo Yukari silently watched the doorway.
"I also hope that child can use this opportunity to break free from the Lion King Agency's control and escape the fate of being a tool."
Endo Yukari murmured.
The conversation that took place here was thus hidden in the darkness, unknown to others.
