Roland suddenly had a subtle premonition.
Judging by Kamijou Touma's age, the current timeline still seemed quite far from the main story he remembered.
And the major events in that story had mostly been set in motion by powerful people who would not lose their way because of Phase Sparks. Even if many twists and turns arose along the way, they would not affect the final outcome.
But the instant Kamijou Touma hurried away because of the name Mitsuari, Roland's premonition suddenly grew very strong.
It was neither an omen of good things nor a warning of bad ones.
But, in any case, it was a change that would definitely exceed his expectations.
Kamijou Touma was the freest person in this world, so passive arrangements could not work on him.
Even Aleister could only place events before Kamijou Touma and quietly wait for the choices called coincidences to emerge, driven by the courage in his heart.
But perhaps because he had met someone like Roland, who stood outside the sparks, those freest of coincidences that Kamijou Touma created through his choices seemed to have gained a few more branches.
Honestly, Roland welcomed this sort of change.
He had never properly experienced a so-called original story anyway. Although there was no interference from Contract Spirits this time, for the sake of his grand plan, he still had to shatter this world ordained by fate with his own hands.
Still... out of caution, while he was at a disadvantage, Roland would not simply brush off this change.
After all, there was a considerable difference between watching the fun and becoming the fun himself.
Watching Kamijou Touma's figure disappear at the end of the street, Roland rubbed his chin and pondered for a while.
Did Aleister arrange this encounter?
*No, he can't interfere
