Minth readied his sword
“I don’t care whether you’re Zatoh or Enlike If I kill you it will finish the job”
“Oho, you’ll kill me? Are everyone in Bantorra Library all bark and no bite?”
“If it’s you, I can do it”
Minth slowly headed towards Zatoh atop the sand
The stunned Noloty watched theht the Monster back
“…Minth-san, I…”
“…Noloty, that doesn’t o away”
Minth coldly rejected her
“Hey, are you going to let him talk to you like this, Noloty-chan?”
The Monster – Zatoh – smiled with his face full of blood
“Hey, Noloty-chan?”
Zatoh swung his hand Minth and Noloty both ducked towards the sand at the same time
“Let’s play together”
Water bullets passed above their head
“You piece of shi+t!”
Minth shouted and started running with a low posture like a leopard His protruding sas then entwined by a sleeve extended to the length of around ten meters
“Minth-san!”
Noloty also rose up and tried running Lightning struck just in front of her, stopping her charge
Minth threw his sword and leapt sideways However, Zatoh read his led Minth’s legs An unpleasant sound was heard Minth toppled over and his legs were bent in an unnatural angle
Noloty ran while clenching her fist Long before that fist could reach its target, it was intercepted by water bullets and Noloty was sent flying, rolling on the sand
“Is that all? Let’s play some more, Noloty-chan”
Zatoh shook his sleeve and smiled towards Noloty while his body emitted sparks
Enduring the pain in her creaking bones, Noloty stood up
“…Zatoh-san No, Zatoh”
She started talking
“What about Enlike, the person from before?”
Zatoh answered while sloalking towards her
“He’s already finished He won’t coain”
“…I see”
“Hey, Noloty-chan Don’t be so cruel
I’rateful You’re basically my savior”
Noloty kicked at the sand and ran ahead
“Who would…”
Water bullets shot forward She charged and repelled the attack with her fist
“Who would want to save someone like you?!”
Zatoh’s right hand glowed blue and a lightning strike was shot When Noloty ceased her charge, the cloth on his right hand struck her like a whip and sent her flying
Even so she rose up Seeing that, Zatoh smiled with pleasure
Enlike Bishi+le watched the fight froht Zatoh simply harassed and toyed with her
Enlike atching that while standing inside deep mud
The interior of Zatoh’s body was a dark cave A black, dark, soggy sas inside of it The exit of the cave was enclosed by a solid yet transparent wall
This was Zatoh’s second sto not food but people’s souls, one that only those with the Book-Eating ability possessed
A stoinary Entrails
Many people were sunk inside the swa with Enlike Lonkenny, Kayas, Sasari and all the rest of the boys froredients in a stew
Enlike crawled outside the shile dragging his body that beca to it
Then, he drew closer to the wall separating the interior from the outside world He hit it with his head He hit it with powerless fists
It didn’t budge even one bit Enlike struck the wall several tiave up
He watched Noloty fight on the other side
Noloty, you’re a real idiot
This happened only because you tried saving someone like me
You one you tried to save is trash Absolutely worthless trash
Enlike recalled the day he first took control of Zatoh’s body
The figure of Ganbanzel who rejoiced the completion of a monster The battle inside Bantorra Library and the subsequent withdrawal
Enlike watched those fro s died inside the swamp
The beat-up Zatoh caer of having lost at him Ganbanzel stared at Zatoh loathsomely as he blamed him
“Don’t worry, Zatoh This isn’t your full power yet You need to eat er”
“So what am I supposed to do, old man? Are there any other Books for me to eat?”
“…There’s the man called Luimon”
Zatoh escaped the pursuers fro himself There, he waited for Luimon’s Book to be discovered and then attacked the train that carried it Because he attacked the Library before, the Armed Librarians have spread around and thus security was thin
Zatoh easily snuck onboard the train, pried the safe open and ate Luie body fell inside the swamp and sunk next to Enlike
Zatoh shook in rage and disappoint
“Goddath!”
Luimon’s Book was useless for hi if he could still find so he could lay his hands on
At that tile specific Book
Enlike beca memories
Why is this here? That’s Qu inside Enlike and Zatoh
Qumola was a Meat She spent her worthless days inside the sas her eyes had seen were bread cru up and eating those
One day, Qumola felt bad She felt cold and nauseous It was probably an illness that would be cured in no time if she were in the outside world However, it was lethal for the Meats, who didn’t live like hu
It wasn’t sad or painful She was dying – that’s all Qumola lay on the floor and quietly awaited death
However, a hand caled close to her and warmed her cold body
“…Hang on there Can I get some medicine here?”
Qumola was surprised to hear the boy raise his voice There shouldn’t be any Meat who does that sort of thing
“…What are you…?”
Qu close to her answered
“I’m Relia”
The boy talked to the caretaker that came in
He told him he wanted medicine or a warood, then at least a blanket or some clothes’, he said
The caretaker kept beating the boy and took hi while lying on the floor
She thought it was strange Why did he say that? There’s no point in helpingsuch a thing
However, she noticed – at the very least, she wanted to help that person
She thought to herself – I’ll try surviving a little She hugged her shaking body and sipped sos fro Meats around her and wrapped herself
