CHAPTER 3: INDECISION OF THE DIVING WARRIOR – PART 1

May 23, 2016Tgurneu

Mokkania’s ers and shtly held her hands

Suddenly, he reht now? While creating h the Labyrinth

“…”

Right It was ever since that day The day when he activated his power to its fullest

That was four years ago He fought with the Guinbex Ardom Mokkania recalled the day when he sank 6,500 soldiers in a sea of blood

His first order was toto a request by the Modern Manageency, the entire main force of the Armed Librarians confronted the invaders froe the end of hostilities together with the Modern Manageency

The mission that was initially supposed to end in one month extended to two months, and then to three months, and then indefinitely Both countries clai to a fall in authority of the Modern Manageency which tried to arbitrate between theeency and the Armed Librarians because of their perceived weakness and believed the their time

When the Guinbex Arnored orders more than ten times, Mokkania received new instructions

The strategy had been changed fro the ceasefire to a massacre

Avoiding bo tank corps, Mokkania released his ants The power of his ants which were born and released exceeded even their creator’s expectations

Soldiers were eaten alive Mokkania kept killing them – those soldiers aited for the day they would return to their hometown and reunite with their families

“…”

The base beca skeletons were scattered all around it Not even an ounce of their meat was left uneaten

“…”

There were traces of rooainst the ants There were traces of people having tried to run away by vehicle

The base armed by skeletons, and there were clusters of small bones A violin, a tru around On ahad been written:

“The Boys’ and Girls’ Consolation Music Corps”

Mokkania started voone With his face covered in his own voastric juices

Hareeted Mokkania as he returned to Bantorra Library Mokkania believed he was going to be punished He tried i what sort of penalty he will incur

However, Hamyuts Meseta said only tords

“Great work”

She said this with a wide small

She didn’t voice any conde to the public opinion Her decisive judgment, that didn’t allow the oppression by the Guinbex Arhly evaluated

Thus, Mokkania’s slaughter had been hidden in the shadows of these circumstances

Ireia said to Mokkania,

“Mokkania-san, you are not at fault If you hadn’t defeated them, they would have hurt many more people”

Wrong That wasn’t true

“Mokkania-san You should certainly feel responsible for having lost restraint The fact that even you couldn’t control yourself when you went all-out is certainly your fault

However, you are not a God If you feel responsible, then try beco your powerunnecessary victims”

Wrong That wasn’t true

“Mokkania?”

Mokkania returned to hi that voice He then noticed that he was standing in place He was lost in thought for soly and sent a cold hand to his check

“What’s wrong, Mokkania? You stopped suddenly…”

Mokkania gripped the hand that touched his cheek

“Sorry, Mo You don’t need to worry I’m fine”

Lifting the body of his ain

“Mokkania, are you scared? Of fighting Hamyuts Meseta, I mean”

“Huh?”

“As yourunreasonable If you’re scared and think you can’t win, then don’t do it Fight along with your friends You don’t have to fight by yourself”

“What’re you talking about, s”

“…Mokkania”

Mokkania’s mother touched his neck

“Are you really not scared?”

“…Mom”

“I’h to shi+ver I don’t even want to think how you are feeling”

Mokkania listened to hisHamyuts’s face He would lie if he said he wasn’t afraid But what surged inside him wasn’t only fear

“Fighting is scary It alas Even as I am today”

“…”

“But I’ht for you, Mom So I’m not scared”

Mokkania’s mother stroked his neck

“Why did you becoh you were such a coward?”

“I was?”

“Yeah Whenever I would tell you a story, when the bad guys appeared you would start crying”

“Was it like that…”

Mokkania smiled wryly He probably really worried his mother

“Why did you become an Armed Librarian?”

“There wasn’t any deep reason If you wanted me to, I would quit it at any time Armed Librarians are all pieces of shi+t”

“Don’t”

Mokkania’s htly beat his back

“You can’t use a word like ‘piece of shi+t’”

“…Right Sorry, Mom”

But Armed Librarians really are pieces of shi+t Especially Hamyuts Meseta

Thinking this, Mokkania kept walking ahead

At the Labyrinth’s entrance were Mirepoc, Mattalast and Enlike; only those three people

Mattalast returned to the surface and brought a troe caliber inside

“What’s that?”

Enlike asked

“A spare weapon My usual pistols won’t have enough firepower this time”

Mirepoc knew that gun It was the same one that Luiun and was referred to as a “Tenor” based on its distinctive firing sound If Mattalast had used this gun against the Monster, he probably wouldn’t have fallen behind

“Stop that You can’t help us this time”

Enlike said frankly

“Your ability and Mokkania’s ants have a bad affinity”

“I’ll at least provide logistic support”

Mattalast began asseun

“Enlike-san is right Mattalast-san, please wait behind”

At that ti behind her was Feekiee It seemed she went and called him down here

“Right You should wait quietly behind once in a while, Mattalast”

Feekiee said Mattalast smile wryly

Next, Ireia spoke to Enlike

“You should also draw back, Enlike-san”

“I don’t think our abilities have a bad affinity, though”

Ireia shook her head to the side

“Sorry That’s not what I mean”

Enlike glanced at Feekiee who stood next to her Then, he stared at Ireia

“Got it”

After standing for a short while, Enlike turned around and cliloomy expression

“So that ht?”

Ireia nodded

“Challenging Mokkania-san with great numbers will only increase the number of casualties The obvious choice is to just send a few”

Saying this, Ireia walked towards the Labyrinth’s entrance She raised her arate She then snapped her fist

“We’ll be going Feekiee-san, I’ on you”

Feekiee nodded Ireia opened the door and went inside

Ireia shook her plump body as she lumbered inside the Labyrinth As soon as she walked in, an enemy stood in her way

It was a Rhino Most of the Guardian Beasts were already devoured by ants, but it was one of the only survivors Even while its body was being eaten by ants, it bravely executed the iven to him by the Past God

Ireia kept walking as she had no ti at her

She caught its charge with one hand The frictional heat created by her shoes on the ground raised smoke But she didn’t stop

Her right hand squeezed the horn Cracks ran on that stout horn

“Huu”

Ireia raised her left hand while snorting She didn’t make a fist She simply slapped Rhino She hit the base of its neck hard

Rhino’s large body flew parallel to the floor It broke through the pale-blue quartz and was slarees

All this took less than a second This didn’t even count as a hindrance for her

Ireia kept lu ever happened

As she went further in, she could see ants Initially only one or two, but then ten or twenty Ireia went ahead and crushed those underfoot She was also bitten by one or two She kept walking without this even registering in her mind

Mokkania sensed that his ants were being crushed These aren’t Guardian Beasts Who is it? Mattalast? Or Ireia? He turned around

“Is so the matter?”

His mother asked

“It’s nothing Let’s go”

He deployed a large a, but it would be fine ignoring thele

His aim was Hamyuts Meseta He didn’t have the leisure to look behind

At that tiure of a man appeared ahead Mokkania ordered the ants ahead of him to stop their attack

“Mokkania, Ireia Kitty is co”

It was Winkeny of the Indulging God Cult He was the annoying man that could avoid his attacks Mokkania’s expression darkened

“Is that voice Winkeny-san’s?”

His mother asked from his back

“Mokkania, a pincer attack would be bad Kill Ireia first”

Winkeny said while raising his glasses Mokkania ignored it

“There’s no problem I have no other enemy than Hamyuts Meseta”

“Don’t be so careless In terms of compatibility to your ability, Ireia will be difficult”

“You’re annoying, get away”

“What are you saying, Mokkania?!”

His ry voice

“Mom…”

“Winkeny-san is iot all us the way here, and yet you act like this?”

“Sorry, Mom”

“The one you need to apologize to is Winkeny-san I’m sorry, Winkeny-san”

Winkeny raised the edges of his lips and shtly lowered his head

“However, I’ll still leave Ireia alone”

Mokkania passed by him as he said so

“I ets that”

“…I see”

Winkeny’s body ed to petroleu away

As expected I can’t rely on these Indulging God Cult guys, Mokkania thought to himself

During that tiraph room at the back of the Fifth Sealed Labyrinth She sat down on the bed in silence

In the control rooraph room was a bed, food and water, a stove and such This rooency evacuation or a need to rest

In order to prevent the intrusion of Guardian Beasts, the door was made thick and sturdy However, the ants caaps

Haers and killed the intruding insects Mokkania probably still hasn’t found out she ca that Hamyuts went further ahead

She kept exploring the Labyrinth with her Sensory Threads She monitored the state of Mokkania, of Ireia, and of Feekiee and the rest aited outside the Labyrinth

Hay fro for that moment

“It should be about 70-30”

Hay They had 70 chance for success and 30 chance of failure If Mokkania were to take care of Ireia as the ested, the odds would become about 50-50

“Well then, I wonder what’s going to happen”

Ha ants

This was a battle It was obvious they would do their very best in order to win Therefore Hay

However, she had regrets For this to end so easily was a waste It was a precious opportunity, after all A warrior who could kill her et

“I wonder if I want them to succeed or to fail”

Haht to herself Her mind swayed between the temptation for victory and for defeat

However, that contradiction also felt sweet

At the entrance to the Labyrinth, Feekiee, Mirepoc and Mattalast have been waiting patiently From time to ti could be said to be going fine

“Thinking about it, what about Enlike?”

Feekiee, who leaned on the door, asked

“He’s with Noloty right now”

Mirepoc answered

“I see”

Feekiee replied, sounding uninterested

“If you need to I’ll call him He’s much more useful than me in the current state”

The bored Mattalast cracked jokes

“Stop I’ll never ask for his help”

“You really hate him, huh”

Mattalast sighed, and Mirepoc joined the conversation

“Mattalast-san To tell you to truth, even I don’t really…”
