CHAPTER 1: CHANCE MEETING AT NIGHT – PART 2
January 16, 2017Tgurneu
A single flying boat landed in the port of the Past God’s Island It was an old, small aircraft
A youngon the waves Mattalast ca A quiet air of intiure blended in the darkness
“It’s been a while, Volken”
“Long time no see, Mattalast-san”
Volken said and bowed
His age was barely beloenty He was a slender and tall youth
His hair was bright green His expression gave the i in the northern sea It was cold, hard and unwavering One glance at that face told both hiid individual
He wore a black and brown colored cassock The emblem of a lock was on his sleeve It was the uniform of an Armed Librarian inherited from ancient tih; No-one wore such old-fashi+oned clothes nowadays
However, because it was so old-fashi+oned, it truly suited him
His name was Volken Macmani
“We haven’t met since the Allow Bay Incident, I think?”
Saying this, Mattalast drew his gun He aiun that hit its target and brought certain death Even with that muzzle in front of hiers moved Perhaps even his heart rate kept steady
“Indeed”
“Volken, let me just say this The Armed Librarians have become nervous since Mokkania’s rebellion Especially when it has to do with traitors”
“I am not a traitor”
“That’s easy for you to say”
Mattalast’s finger touched the trigger
“Will you kill me?”
“Well then, what shall I do…”
In contrast to Mattalast’s faint sed at all He wasn’t bothered by Mattalast’s bloodlust at all He just had thatability
“If you kill me, the truth will be revealed when my Book is read If that is what the entire Armed Librarian body has decided I will comply However, if that it your personal decision…”
Volken’s fingers ertips touched the sword at his waist
It was a strange sword No, was it even a sword? Two short blades were contained within a hoop Twelve pairs of these loops were hanging fros were na Blades
“I will resist will all of my power”
The twelve Dancing Blades started swaying at the saun
“It wasto make you confess”
“Understood”
Mattalast started walking, keeping his back defenseless Volken followed him
Volken Maced with assisting their ene God Cult
Two years ago, the Ar God Cult shi+p at Allow Bay They have seized the treasures kept inside the shi+p by the Cult A Doll Ückück It was then contained in the Fourth Sealed Archive of the Book Labyrinth and closely monitored

at the Spinning Doll had been replaced with a fake was confirh some have wondered if this was the work of Mokkania, the investigation lead to the out that someone else was behind this criminal act And it was then confirmed that the criminal was Volken
It wasn’t ing God Cult The charges shi+fted fro God Cult
“You have already been notified, but your trial is to be held to it will be the Director and all of the first-class Arulations, more than twenty five Arht now, I’m not sure we’ll exceed 30 people”
“Understood”
“If you can prove your innocence it’s all good But if you’re guilty… well, you knohat’ll happen”
“Yes”
He’s quite calht Mattalast We already have all the evidence we need Since it’s all but certain Volken did steal it, I wonder why he’s so calm
He kept walking while having an inexplicable feeling
“The moon is beautiful today”
Volken looked up with afro a full moon When the air was at its clearest, the moon shi+ned silver Its color was that of a brand-new spoon
“…Yeah”
There was a strange atmosphere His expression seemed to convey that the facts that he was suspected and about to receive a trial were completely natural However, it wasn’t the expression of someone convinced in his innocence
He had the face of soht That was how Mattalast felt
After the sun had set, there were no customers in Bantorra Library In the reception hall there were only Armed Librarians who finished their work and the trainees who finished their training
Mattalast opened the door When they saw Volken standing behind hirew tense Some of them even instinctively reached to the weapons at their waists
“Calm down, everyone”
Mattalast said, showing both his palms
“We will kill hies are settled”
These words did nothing to absolve the tension They kept directing astonished and nervous gazes towards him
Volken walked and calht Mattalast
“Who is that?”
He pointed at one person He was a man who folded his arms in one corner of the hall and had transparent hair
“That’s Enlike-kun You don’t know him?”
“I’ve heard about hi him”
Saying so, Volken approached Enlike
“Who are you? Are you an enemy or an ally?”
“An ally I’m an Armed Librarian, someone who believes in justice”
“…”
Enlike stared at Volken’s face He see or weak? Is he someone to kill or not?
“Nice to meet you”
Volken extended his hand Enlike grabbed it back
“I’m Enlike Bishi+le”
“Volken Macmani”
At that ti under his breath
“…Not bad”
He immediately released Volken’s hand and then headed for the Library’s exit
“Where to?”
Mattalast asked as they passed each other
“Home”
Enlike said, looking around with soitation around him
“It see to do with the Library’s internal affairs I have soo”
“Is it a date?”
Enlike ignored the joke and went outside
The at When Volken came in there were only pure hostility and suspicions directed at hi to Enlike… seeing Volken unperturbed, the hostility surrounding the hall had softened a bit
This wasn’t how a traitor acted – Everyone started thinking so
“Everyone, listen”
Volken started speaking All Ar voice
“I was charged with… stealing the Spinning Doll Ückück
And this accusation is…”
He let his words hang for a while After the long silence passed, Volken declared,
“True”
The entire hall was shocked Even Mattalast almost dropped his pipe
“However, I did not do so to assist the Cult I did it for our – the Armed Librarians’ – sake”
“Why?”
A voice rose Volken stopped talking for a while and thought
“I cannot speak of it now The ti in the trial then”
This time the Armed Librarians were confused
“Listen well It has been 1900 years since the Age of Paradise has ended and the world was passed into the hands of humans Who protected peace and justice in the meanwhile?
Who protected people’s Books from the evils of the world?
Who kept fighting the Indulging God Cult and protected peace?
If the Armed Librarians were to lose their justice, justice itself will be lost from this world”
“…”
“Right noe Armed Librarians are about to lose our justice
I aiven”
At that instant, Volken’s eyes were directed at the hall’s entrance He saw a person that see
“I will expel from this Library all those who deprive the Armed Librarians of justice My actions will never stray from the proper path”
In front of Volken’s eyes stood Hamyuts Meseta With her close associate Mirepoc at her side, she had the usual smile of a carnivorous beast
“…Hoonderful”
Saying this, Ha
“Applause, everyone!”
By saying this, she got the other Ar their hands When the clapping stopped, she spoke with a delighted tone
“It was a great speech, Volken I haven’t seen you in a while, but have you grown a bit taller?”
Volken did not answer His expression changed for the first time He directed obvious hostility at Hamyuts
“I like that look”
Harinned It was the same kind of smile she adorned when she – who loved battleselse – saw her enemy All of the Armed Librarians felt fear as they saw this smile
“I do feel like fighting for the death right now But you probably prefer fighting at toht Volken?”
“…”
“It’s fine I’ll play along I look forward to tomorro then”
Hamyuts clapped her hands loudly and called out to the Armed Librarians
“Those who have work to do, keep going Those who don’t, go ho to waste tihty children?
You can be free until tomorrow, Volken There is no need to monitor him Since he came back, there’s no way he’ll run away”
Saying so, she started walking towards the exit of the hall She then turned around and spoke again
“You are welcome to try a surprise attack Come at me whenever”
Volken kept silent and Ha at him
All of the Ar completely different from Mokkania’s rebellion All of thehtly expectant eyes
The Armed Librarians were about to lose their justice
Those who deprived their justice will be expelled
There was probably no one standing in that place who didn’t knoho this was referring to
Mattalast followed Hamyuts and spoke to her
“Hammy That was quite the declaration of war”
“Even you pointed your gun at hiood Don’t just do as you please”
