[Death wish or not, a new challenger has emerged in the form of a ferocious lancer with a penchant for mischief. Rosen's decision to take on this mission should not surprise anyone. While curiosity may have led him here, his desire for combat drove him to take up arms. To be honest, he does not care about Ayato or Kaveh. He's only here because he knows Saya will need his help against such a formidable opponent.

Reports suggest that the shapeless blob haunting the manor is more than just some mere monster. That's why he quietly follows Saya inside this dilapidated old manor, his footsteps nearly silent on the rickety old floorboards.]

Where o where has my little blob gone~

[He mutters under his breath once they arrive at the darkest reaches of the mansion.]

This is starting to feel more like hide and seek than a real battle.

[Despite his bravado, Rosen is tense. The arkana has an uncanny ability to detect danger, no matter how quiet and peaceful things appear. This is why he already has the Lúin of Celtchar by his side. The fiery red spear shines brightly in the dark, almost like a torch. It's quite useful, especially since, unlike Saya, he can't see very well in the dark.]

So what's the plan, my dear?

[He turns briefly to face Saya, his mismatched gaze brimming with curiosity.]

I'm not about to let you fight this thing alone.
