Vol 4 Chapter 41 (2/2)
When she was told so, she became a little calmer The anxiety in her heart didn’t disappear, but her head cooled down
“Mirepoc Think well What is that whole nonsense about everyone who pursues Lascall dying?
Who died? Neither I, you nor Kalon-kun were killed”
“…Right”
“I’ll say this clearly, you fell right into the enemy’s trap”
“The enemy’s trap?”
Mirepoc asked back However, Mattalast didn’t explain to her what he meant by that,
“It’s useless with your current state Rest for a while You can also keep looking for that boy later”
“What do you mean by rest?”
“Just what it sounds like You can just take it easy at so to cool off your head”
Mirepoc hung her head This was the first time she received such an order
“Mattalast-san… what did youinto the enemy’s trap?”
“You will understand once you cool off your head”
After saying so, Mattalast went up and left
Starting the next day, just as she was told, Mirepoc lay off her work
How pathetic, she thought
Perhaps the ene – this much had caused her to lose her temper She couldn’t face Mattalast or her allies after that
Nothing happened in the first place The city was peaceful It’s not like anyone was killed She just overestimated Lascall by her own accord and was afraid of his non-existing shadow
Mirepoc walked around the city while at her wits’ end She drank coffee, went around shops without buying anything, and cooled off her head
In fact, she was practically discharged It came as a shock to her
Suddenly her feet stopped There was a violin-playing girl at the street’s corner
Not again, Mirepoc thought
The one playing the violin was the rusty woman
She seeo She silently lowered her violin and looked at Mirepoc
“So we ain”
The rusty woman said
“Seems so”
She thought so yesterday as well, but the wo happen?
While fiddling with the violin’s strings, the rusty woman said,
“So you’re also not going to fighthere”
“I’m on a day-off”
“Yeah, you said so yesterday I laughed You’re quite so, lady”
The rusty worinned
“Do you not fight me because you’re off duty?”
“Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be? Fighting I ht because that’s my job”
Fuun, the rusty woman snorted
“Eh, well I also said that yesterday, but I’ht”
“So you won’t fight me because you don’t feel like it?”
“Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be? Fighting I ht because I want to”
She showed Mirepoc a broad grin
That woman was difficult to deal with
Ever since she first ainst her Why was that? It wasn’t an issue of the power gap between the on a more spiritual level beyond that
“Are you going to listen?”
The rusty wo
“…Perhaps I will”
“Watch now and pay later”
The rusty wo Mirepoc was thinking as she listened to the violin
That’s quite foolish of me to do
However, I feel suitably foolish right now
What a to pursue Lascall, I only ended up relying on Mattalast
I’ve never felt my oerlessness until now
Al
Was she pathetic? She could at least kill the woman in front of her However, that was all she could do
She was absolutely beaten by Mattalast, and then saved by the one supposed to be her enerasp any clues about Lascall who after
She eak That fact becaly heavy on her mind
Both Als at the same time
Just ere they doing? In order to not ad thele?
After she finished listening to the violin, Mirepoc took se from her wallet and threw it She wasn’t sure of the melody’s quality, but she felt the musical performance was sad
“Let ”
The rusty woe thrown at her
“I can somehow tell why you’re weak”
“What do you mean?”
“You fight while looking for a right answer Should you kill? Shouldn’t you kill? You fight while thinking about that sort of thing And that’s why you’re weak I noticed this when I fought you for the first time”
Now that she ht have been so However, it shouldn’t be so
“That’s what being an Ar for order, after all”
“Then that’s no good at all, young lady”
Alht for the first time
“I’, I simply kill You can’t do that”
For a split second Mirepoc was convinced, but then she pulled herself together
“Do you think I am the kind of fool to take advice from my enemy?”
“…Right, no fool would take advice from their enemy”
Their conversation was probably over Thinking about the fact that she had foolishly wasted her ti away
“Hey, Mirepoc”
“What?”
“We’re weak”
She didn’t question the intention behind those words Because she could hear these words came from the bottom of her heart
“What’re you going to do from now on?”
“I will do whatever I must do That is all”
After answering so, the rusty wohed
“You’re right There’s nothing to do but that”
After parting fro
It seeed And it also seeed the rusty woman
She will probably fight to the death with her once again When that ti?
I should be grateful to Mirepoc Thinking this, Alme walked around the city
She found a single clue There was a piece of paper inside Mirepoc’s clothes She probed it with her Sensory Threads while playing the violin
Alle name that ritten in Parney’s last note
Olt This was the na God Cult He was supposed to have left the Cult due to his advanced age
Could he possibly be in this city? Alme spread her Sensory Threads to search around
The False Man Olt Goas responsible forinformation He either eliht connect to the Indulging God Cult For that purpose he supposedly ed newspaper companies and in addition to that even film studios, theatres and other entertainment companies were under his control
Does that mean this man once worked for Parney? It’s certainly possible
After half a day, Alme found an old man who lived in one of the city’s corners Just as expected, Olt was in Fullbeck City He lived in a desolate place that Allected to search
Al house
“…How careless”
Alme said Only one lock protected the house’s door
Ahim, he became an old e he was still living
“Were you not even able to arrange a single person to protect you?”
Alme asked
“What will a few troops help against an opponent that can find me?”
Olt answered with a hoarse voice
“So, are you fro God Cult? Or perhaps the Armed Librarians?”
Olt turned his face to Ale
“…The Cult Or more precisely, a traitor to the Cult”
“I see”
Saying this, Olt slowly rose up
“The one holding Parney Parlmanta’s Book is you”
“Indeed”
“It is admirable how you’ve hidden it till now”
“I cut off connections froht and the darkness Since no one knew me, no one knew to reach me”
“Why do you have Parney’s Book?”
“Lascall Othello gave it to me She could not ascend to Heaven Because of this, at the very least she wished to stay by the side of someone who knew her”
“Lascall…”
Al Olt questioned her
“Are you perhaps Alme?”
“Yeah”
“I remember you well”
“Why?”
“There are but few False Men that yearn for True Men like me and you So I felt sympathy for you in that sense”
“…Were you also like that?”
“Yes Parney was a pitiful person She destroyed the happiness she wished for with her own hands”
“I have no interest in Parney What I wish to know is only about Lascall”
“Lascall?”
“I came here to find his identity”
Olt smiled faintly And he pointed to a Book left in one corner of the room
“You will probably understand when you read it You see, Lascall exists in a different plane than us”
Aloal, for which she came here For this she betrayed the Cult, manipulated Winkeny and killed the False Men
So why did she hesitate now?
“Are you not going to read it? That should be your goal”
She recalled the Overseer of Paradise’s words She shouldn’t be able to reach the truth about Lascall
That being the case, perhaps this Book will not yield any results Is that why she hesitated?
Or was it a trap?
“Will you not read it?”
Or was he just confident that Alme could not reach Lascall’s identity?
“…You can also stop if that is what you wish”
What did she hesitate about? She would understand if she saw it
Alers touched the Book and thein They were the ed to the Cult
