CHAPTER 4: LIFE OF A CERTAIN LIVESTOCK – PART 3
Deceurneu
“Why did you take a break?”
A while after her reunion with Mel, the False Man Olt came to visit Parney in her mansion She had canceled her scheduled job at the last minute
“Isn’t it fine that I want to take a break?”
Parney said while drinking liquor
“You can’t do that You ”
“Stop I’m tired of it”
Olt responded in anger
“Wasn’t acting your happiness? Aren’t you an ordinary woman then?”
“…”
“If you are a True Man, devote yourself to happiness”
Parney answered with some hesitation
“Right, that’s hoas…”
She continued acting The high praise she received ever since joining the Cult was the sae her Parney spoke to the Overseer of Paradise when he visited her
“Hey, I’d like to go to Heaven soon It’s been enough, right?”
“No, you cannot Your quantity of happiness is not yet sufficient”
“Do I have to continue?”
“Are you perhaps not happy anymore?”
Parney immediately showed him a smile
“Did you really think it could happen? I’m a True Man after all”
However, she was acting Parney ended up acting even when the ca out her happiness
Only Zackie understood her true intentions
“Hey, will I be able to ascend to Heaven?”
Parney often asked him Zackie shook his head to the side
“I don’t know We should ask Lascall”
“But Lascall wouldn’t come How can I meet him?”
Even Zackie didn’t have any answer Lascall was an unreachable being for him
“If I remember correctly… it’s been said that Lascall would appear when you speak of him”
Parney ordered-
“Search for Lascall”
“Was it you? The one who’s been spreading rumors on Lascall Othello”
The Overseer of Paradise and the executive leaders came to reprimand Parney
“What do you mean that you want to otten your duty?”
“Shut up”
Ever since then she drowned herself in alcohol She asked Zackie for things even enjoyable fun than liquor and he brought them
“There’s no e’ve been sniffed out by the Arht?”
“Didn’t that Haiza or so came?”
“…You haven’t talked to hiht?”
“Who knows… I forgot”
Parney laughed It was a h
“What shall we do about her, Overseer of Paradise?”
“There is no problem at all I will take some measures”
“Hmm… If that’s what you say”
Parney spoke to the Overseer of Paradise after cal down
“Hey, letyou I want to meet Lascall Aren’t you all False Men? Let me meet him already”
“We cannot allow that”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“If we unnecessarily let you ht learn the location of Heaven Therefore, we cannot allow even aGod Cult to know about him”
“What’s all this bullshi+t about Heaven! I’m a True Man Obey me!”
The Overseer of Paradise and the executives looked at her with cold eyes She was clearly completely drunk
“We’ve made a mistake, Overseer of Paradise”
“…It seems so”
“We should have plucked her off sooner When she was at the peak of her happiness”
“What are you talking about?”
Parney started shaking
“We have no need for True Men who have lost their happiness We don’tyou”
“Perhaps we can still squeeze out some happiness froh”
“What do you mean, what do you mean!”
After the Overseer of Paradise and the rest left, only Parney and Zackie remained
“Zackie A to be killed?”
There was no reply
“What’s a True Man? What’s the Indulging God Cult?”
No reply
“Zackie Please Look for Lascall I have nothing more than that”
“Do you want me to conduct treason?”
He will probably not co God Cult He had no reason to listen to someone like Parney who’s already been throay
However, his ansas different
“Parney-sa at you”
She could hear the frustration and anger in his words
“I will say this clearly Right now you are at your lowest Even so, I thought that you were once fit to go to Heaven I’ve sworn my loyalty to the you of those days And that loyalty does not waver”
Just like in the day they’ve first met, Zackie kissed Parney’s feet
Parney cancelled all of her work plans and did nothing but wait for contact from Zackie She met no-one No contact came No-one came to visit her In her boredom, she left memos to pass the time
If I were to die, this will becohed
One night, she ith a start She found a letter near her pillow Zackie was inside a storehouse in the harbor – thus ritten inside
She could trust no-one but Zackie Parney went to the storehouse alone There were no people around, but only a single Book was left there
With that alone she understood everything Who was that Book’s owner?
Parney extended her fingers She touched the Book of the one as faithful to her, Zackie
Having received the secret orders froh the watchful eyes of the Cult and searched for Lascall Parney saw hiht for the first time
Zackie was an excellent warrior His only weapon was his body His battle style was lurking in the darkness and finally pouncing and breaking his opponent’s neck in an instant, just like a leopard
Seeking clues about Lascall Othello, he sneaked into ato an executive False Man The executive he found called out to him
“Zackie I have a nice story for you”
Zackie stopped his attack, and listened to the man’s story
“You see for Lascall Othello I actually also think I want toa subordinate That’s why I plan on killing the Overseer of Paradise and Lascall and snatch Heaven”
Parney’s plan was just appealing for Lascall, but the executive had aidea in mind
“Can you do it?”
“The Overseer of Paradise should have no fighting ability If we kill hio to Heaven”
Zackie joined that executive’s attack plan
And just when they were about to attack the hotel the Overseer of Paradise stayed in, Zackie withdrew
“Why, Zackie?”
The attackers asked
“Sorry, but I’ to help you”
Saying so, after he hid himself within the darkness, another man appeared of that darkness
He was a man ore a flat mask with no eyes or mouth He held an iron bar in his hands
“Who are you?”
The executive asked The reply cahter
Even Zackie wasn’t able to see the movement of that iron bar That bladeless rod tore into the body of the ht idea over what his Magic Right was
“…Wha-”
But that strength… Zackie involuntarily let out a voice as he lurked The trivial difference in their abilities beca Was there such a warrior in the Cult? Someone like that should be in the caliber of the Ar Director
In the blink of an eye he erased the executive and his group
Zackie was the one to inform the Overseer of Paradise of the attack plan Parney’s orders were to let her oal in the first place
The faceless man spoke as Zackie looked in front of him
“It’s about time for you to come out, Lascall”
Lascall Othello appeared He stabbed his stone sword in the ground and withdrew the False Men’s Books
How convenient, thought Zackie He planned on exchanging the inforht to meet Lascall Unexpectedly, he beca Zackie showed himself
“Oh ht you be, sir?”
“I’ I’d like to request for this achievement”
Zackie prostrated himself
“I know that I won’t get rewarded on this achievement But please take Parney-sama’s Book to Heaven”
However, Lascall’s reply was ruthless With a soft, cold s
“It is an impossible request Those who have lost their happiness will not go to Heaven”
“I know that But please have some mercy…”
At the exactcloser to Lascall… the faceless man stood behind him
“I will kill all those who pursue Lascall”
Along with the sounds of air being cut, Zackie felt his body being split into two
“…Zackie…”
Having finished reading the Book, Parney sank down to the ground
It was then that Lascall Othello appeared He stood in front of Parney as if he had grown froround
“At his final h he was a traitor to the Indulging God Cult, those feelings were genuine”
Saying that, he took Zackie’s Book away from Parney
“Showing you this Book was my last act of mercy”
Further
“Those who pursue Lascall will die There are no exceptions”
The faceless round Parney realized her fate
“Just what is a True Man?”
Parney said
“Although you said that ere for Heaven, for God, if we’re unneeded we just become trash?”
Lascall thought for a while and answered
“What are the True Men… Let us liken them to clowns Clowns that exist to entertain God Aren’t cloho can’t dance anymore unnecessary?”
Parney felt her vision darkening
“No, that’s wrong, Lascall”
The faceless man interjected
“True Men are livestock Livestock that produces happiness for God”
“…Then…”
The faceless man raised the wooden stick
“Then, who is God?”
Parney’s head rolled off
