Vol 3 Chapter 6 (2/2)
Mokkania’s body lost all power His knees buckled and he fell to the floor Hishim violently
“Who am I, Mokkania? Where am I, who are you, who am I, Mokkania!!!”
Mokkania fought so he could regain the days he lost
He sided with his ene everything away
And nohat he sought to obtain was going to slip away from him: Mokkania’s fictional relationshi+p that he built up and the far-past days that should have returned All were gone in the blink of an eye
“…This can’t, be”
Mokkania looked up above
However, those were long-past days that became a Book and were included in the Library
No ly he would wish for it, no matter what he would offer as sacrifice, and even if a miracle occurred…
Days gone by will not return Whatever happens, they will not return
“Why, why is this…”
He asked, and received no answer Mokkania stared above at empty space while Renas cast down her eyes and cried
A little while before that…
It was in the sea of ant corpses after Mokkania left the scene Hamyuts Meseta’s corpse was supposed to be buried inside, but suddenly, Shla loudly Ants that crawled around were killed all at once, and rubble burst away
And then Hamyuts appeared from within the sea of corpses
She smiled, her face covered with blood and remains The conclusion hadn’t been reached yet
One minute earlier than that, Ha to shoot the gravel bullet and stop any counterattack…
Her attention was suddenly obstructed by an intruder
She looked away from Mokkania at Elephant Soldier Hamyuts realized her fatal reatest chance of attacking Mokkania
“Oops!”
She didn’t even need to confir her head
Now, it would be a mutual kill if she could shoot Mokkania But Hamyuts did not choose to do that
She swung around two gravel bullets in her sling She hit Elephant Soldier with one of them
Ants ca rotation, she lifted Elephant Soldier from the side
Its body floated, and then started falling
Hamyuts ran Just before Elephant Soldier fell, she slipped under its giant body
She could hear the bones in her body creaking Crushed by Elephant Soldier, Hamyuts sunk her own body down the sea of ants
Running aas part of Haain applied that here
That was also Mokkania’s e – the sea of ants – by himself
Hamyuts’s shot used Elephant Soldier’s bulk in order to take refuge
“…”
She was suffocating
The ants were eating Elephant Soldier’s body to arrive to Hamyuts At this rate, she would be killed in a minute
Inside the sea of ants, Haht hand It didn’t hold the sling any down, she removed it with herlike throwing her weapon away in the midst of battle before
Around her were ant corpses and the weight of Elephant Soldier’s bulk Even er wasn’t easy Haht hand She breathed in pain Her whole body creaked
Thirty seconds have passed Elephant Soldier’s body was being devoured overhead
At that ti buried within the rubble
The second shot that hit Elephant Soldier was also a strategic move for her counterattack Directly below the place she blew it to, the Ever-Laughing Magic Blade Shlamuffen was buried
Shlaers The sea of ants burst apart with loud laughter
Hamyuts crawled out of it
“…gh…a…ha…”
Cli from the sea, she threw up vomit and blood
Upon finishi+ng that, she laid down her limp body on top of the rubble
“This isn’t, over, Mokkania Our fight to the death will, keep going”
Hamyuts rested there for a while, and then rose up Her eyes looked more disarrayed than usual She already wouldn’t make any distinction between friend and foe She would probably attack even unrelated persons without hesitating
“Mokkania Who am I?”
Renas asked No, should she even be called Renas? But because no one knew her real na her Renas even now
There were no longer any mother and child there They were merely a reckless traitor and an empty doll who didn’t know her own name
“You’re…”
He didn’t want to speak Even now, Mokkania wanted to keep clinging to hisbut speak of it all
HisGod Cult’s plan, and his battle and wish Without sparing any detail, Mokkania told her of the foolish, foolish plan
He thought back on Winkeny’s words She probably hated hi hated by the person he wanted to be loved by the most
“So that’s hoent…”
Saying only this, Renas went silent Mokkania couldn’t even guess her feelings Howfound out she wasn’t herself and the pain of having so much blood shed for her sake?
Mokkania had to face her properly Everything was his fault
“I’m sorry, mom”
Mokkania apologized However, it was less
Hearing his reply, Renas started laughing
Clenching her fist, she hit Mokkania’s head
Just as Mokkania’s real o
“Don’t keep secrets from your mother”
Renas s face
“…But I’m not even your mother”
CHAPTER 6: DESTINATION OF THE VIRTUOUS ONE – PART 3
July 22, 2016Tgurneu
Ha Shlamuffen in her mouth, she stood up She looked up the path Mokkania used to leave and leaped ahead – but didn’t juh Ha process were deep
Yet she didn’t stop She rose and juht ars to cli her Sensory Threads
I’ll punch out Mokkania’s skull with one blow That would probably satisfy him
“Wait for ”
Ha from her entire body
“Don’t you hate me?”
Mokkania asked
“What is there to hate about you?”
Renas stroked Mokkania’s body
“How horrible, you’re so tattered You fought for my sake and became like this, and yet you say I hate you?”
Renas started sht for her sake?
No If he truly was acting for her, he would have told her the truth without betraying the Armed Librarians Since he didn’t, it was for his own sake It was to retrieve his lost days, for his own desire
“You’re wrong, mom”
“About what?”
“…I didn’t do it for you, ht for my own selfishness”
Renas gently extended her hand to Mokkania’s cheek that et from blood and tears and stroked it
“Even so, I don’t mind You love me, don’t you? If you do, it’s fine”
Renas kept s tears
“But, Mokkania What do you think we should do? I can’t be anyone other than Renas Fleur Even nohen I know it’s a lie, I have nothing else”
“…Mom”
Renas leaned on Mokkania
“Say it, Mokkania Callelse”
Winkeny once said that if Renas knew the truth, she would co The despair she was thrown into was far deeper than either Mokkania or Winkeny iined
Even if she kneas a lie, her despair was deep to the extent she could do nothing else but cling to him
While walking and holding Shlamuffen in her mouth, Hamyuts ordered it to attack
The invisible blade cut through the nearby wall It wasn’t an attack – but a declaration of war It was a single blow letting Mokkania know the battle wasn’t over
Thinking cale This wasn’t her usual tactic of a surprise attack But right now, she was anything but calm
She trele to kill each other which will now resume
Mokkania felt a vibration while holding Renas’s body
“So you’re alive… Hamyuts”
Rather than fear, he somehow felt relieved For so out his superior – the one he could never cooperate with, the one he grew to hate, the one he battled to death with – was still alive
Hamyuts came to kill him She would probably also kill Renas as in his arms
He will die along with hisabout it, this was the exact conclusion he hoped for
“…”
Mokkania suddenly recalled the past
Why did he want to flee from the present and return to that day?
His father who abused his ainst Guinbex… And finally, his escape to the past
Right Mokkania both hated and feared the fact that the strong could tra his ht him
He felt his
“What…”
What a stupid thing I’ve been doing Once again I only did as I pleased I was going to repeat my mistakes
I shouldn’t have thought about having us both die
“Mom”
Mokkania said
“I’m sorry”
And he strongly embraced her
Hamyuts stopped in her tracks She felt with her Sensory Threads that Mokkania rose up and started heading in her direction
He wasn’t producing ants from his body Ha Mokkania walking defenselessly She could see that he longer had any intention of fighting
“What”
Hahed Mokkania approached the spot where he became visible
“Are we already done?”
Mokkania nodded
“I see”
Hamyuts replied in a terribly pained voice
The conversation was over with that For a while, the two azes
“Hey, didn’t you want to die along with her?”
Hamyuts said
“I’ to kill you, but I’ll allow you to choose how I do that”
“…”
“Return to that roo you that ht any you your desires”
Mokkania shook his head
“No, I will die here”
“…Is that your wish?”
“Yes”
“Liar”
Hamyuts said There was no reply
“Please, Hamyuts Let her live”
Hahed
“What a foolish ether with the person you love?”
Mokkania cast down his gaze
“If you wish so, go ahead You can do that You want that, right, Mokkania?”
Mokkania answered her words without hesitating
“I can’t do such a thing I can’t just kill people as I please”
“A fool to the very end”
Hahed Then, Mokkania created his ants
“I was atteive it up”
The ants cli at him
“Hamyuts Don’t let her die She is a person who should not be killed”
“…Are those your final words?”
Mokkania’s body was blanketed by ants
“That, and tell everyone I’m sorry”
Leaving behind his final words, he collapsed After a moment, the ants disappeared Not even a droplet of blood was left behind
If he was just a bit ether with Renas inside their happy times Mokkania wanted that but was unable to fulfill it – it couldn’t be helped, because he was virtuous after all
It was the foolish death of the person who couldn’t kill a single woest
“Mokkania You shouldn’t have become an Armed Librarian”
Hamyuts left these words and went away
“A telegram from the Director!”
Mirepoc cried
“I won Open the seal and all barriers at once Hamyuts”
Mattalast went to open the barrier And he h
“So you lived through again, Hammy”
He muttered
Having sent the telegra too much Her pain, that was numbed by excitement, now returned to her
She leaned on the wall and breathed She could sense the actions Mattalast took outside the Labyrinth
At that moment, she noticed that Winkeny came into the room and transformed into petroleum
“Oh, you’re still here?”
Hamyuts called to him
“…Before I die, I have one question for you”
Winkeny said, still in the form of petroleum
“Hoas Mokkania?”
“He looked happy”
“I see”
The pool of petroleuuessed
“Is that all you came to ask me?”
“Yes”
Winkeny tried leaving the telegraph room He would probably be killed by a Guardian Beast or some Armed Librarian He had no way to survive
“Hey, I also have so to ask you”
“What?”
The petroleum stopped
“Why did you prepare a real imposter? Couldn’t you think of a better idea even with such a dangerous method?”
“…”
“For example, you could have caused Renas to join the Cult and let her persuade him to betray us”
Winkeny stayed silent It was i about
“…I wonder why Now that I think about it, I don’t know”
That ht
“It’s just that, when I brought Renas to visit Mokkania’s room… when he saw her, he looked so happy…”
Winkeny couldn’t continue talking there After a while of silence, he kept talking with some difficulty
“I felt very good Perhaps it’s because of that”
“…I see”
Hamyuts took a matchstick from next to the heater
“I lived so I couldfor Mokkania”
Hamyuts rubbed the match, and threhen she saw it lit up
“I ht have simply wanted to make Mokkania happy”
Winkeny was ignited by theany ashes behind, he turned into smoke and disappeared
“Well then”
Haraph room
Ha still in the Labyrinth There was no longer any one to protect her Hamyuts walked closer
“hello, I’ Director, Hamyuts I will ask you to proerous around here”
“Hamyuts-san… so you were a woman”
Renas quietly ed froht burst in tears if told careless words
She couldn’t guess Renas’s feelings Hoill she, who lost Mokkania and had no-one else to rely on, keep living from now?
Letting her die with Mokkania would be bad, but letting her live would also be
“…”
It would possibly be an act of kindness to let her die here
“Why are you silent? Let us go outside”
Her hand that was about to reach a gravel bullet had stopped Hahts
“That’s right…”
She reached out for Renas
“Do you need a hand?”
Renas shook her head to the side Searching on the floor, she picked up her cane
“No I’ll walk alone”
She rose up, squeezing the cane with her thin fingers She then started walking
There was a Book fragment in Renas’s breast pocket It was the Book of the real Renas Fleur that Mokkania tried keeping away from her Renas probed her pocket and touched that Book once more
Engraved inside were the Renas and young Mokkania of days past
It was a sunny day in a road lined with poplar trees Mokkania was in a good mood, and Renas was a bit tired
“Wait!”
She pulled at Mokkania’s hand The boy was surprised and looked at his mother’s face
“Look here”
She pointed at the ground There was a line of small ants there
“You mustn’t step on them”
“…Okay”
Mokkania nodded, and then used his ss to leap over the line of ants
“Hey, Mokkania When you’re grown up, remember what I’ve told you”
“?”
“Never oppress those weaker than yourself Make a promise with me”
The young Mokkania didn’t really understand what hisYet Renas continued Even if he couldn’t understand her now, she believed that he would recall this day when he was older
“Ss are all the same These ants, you, and me, are all the same”
Renas turned around and gazed down at the line of ants
“Because we’re alive, we’re all the saet this”
At that time she was already sick It was a short while before the real Renas had died
The fake Renas was thinking as she walked through the Labyrinth Mokkania protected these words until the very end
‘Never oppress those who are weaker than yourself’
Perhaps I was happy… after all, despite being an eht of his mother
