Volume 5 Chapter 11 (2/2)
She simply couldn’t wait for it
Another visitor ca a black hat Renas was pretty sure his nah he see at all, he was known to be powerful a the Armed Librarians He seemed to possess the capabilities of a first-class Ar Director
“Are the suits I requested ready?”
“Yes, here”
He calmly purchased five sets of these quite costly unique suits He seemed to be a man who spent money on his clothes and hobbies
“The trainees probably came here earlier Did they disturb you?”
“It was fun They were all lively kids”
“I see, sorry for the trouble”
Mattalast patted the brim of his hat ashamedly
“How have you been lately?”
“I a happily”
“No, that’s not what Iabout your body”
“…”
Renas’s body was not her own Originally Renas Fleur beca there was a fake Renas that had the memories and personality from Renas’s Book copied inside of her In other words, she was merely a person who believed that she was Renas Fleur
How long will she be Renas? No one could tell The human spirit is delicate They couldn’t deny the possibility of it getting ill There was also the possibility of her original personalitywith that of Renas Mattalast spoke about that
“…Yeah, you don’t need to worry I’e in my physical condition”
Renas spread both hands and smiled as she answered
“I see That’s good then”
Mattalast seeic association said that if no-one tries to destroy Renas’s personality there will be no problems
“If anything happens please tell us We Armed Librarians will help you”
“Yes But is that fine? You probably have plenty of other work”
“It , but I want you to live peacefully if possible I want you to be happy if you can”
Mattalast lowered the bri his embarrassment
“Yes, thank you”
“This isn’t just my personal opinion It’s the consensus of us Armed Librarians
The incident with Mokkania was truly a nasty fight Having such a flashy fight, losing co able to save anyone… is somewhat sad”
“…”
“We so for, what did we becos
Protecting so it’s not real makes us sad That’s how it is”
“…I see”
“Excuse et it
If anything happens please call us immediately Well then”
Mattalast left the shop Renas saw off his dark back with a slight sense of guilt
While seeing Mattalast off, she sneered
He seeest in the world, but was foolish; no matter how much power he had, it was impossible for him to protect Renas
I will not let anyone interfere Neither the Armed Librarians nor anyone else
Well then, let’s start It’s alht in her mind
After Mattalast left, Renas changed the “open” sign to a “closed” sign She started tidying up the shop, arranging that day’s sales listing, and quickly finished up her work
“…I’m sorry, Mattalast-san”
Renas had lied There was so unusual with her mind and she concealed it from Mattalast
She began to feel the abnormality recently
Soan to well up inside her They were always things like hatred, anger and murderous intent These were pitch-dark emotions, completely unrelated to Renas until that point
Sometimes she would dream of places she’d never seen She could see a room filled with the scent of dirt and excreta
And sometimes, words she never heard before floated in her mind
“…o beings become corpses Steel…”
She heard it again So in herto her The only thing she could tell was that she was turning into someone asn’t Renas
“…My head, hurts…”
Renas held hear head The mysterious words echoed inside of it
“…becomes dreas cease existing, nonexistent things exist, everything is defined as false…”
“What are… those words…”
The moment she said this, a memory scattered like sparks inside her mind Unknown
“…What is, this…”
Renas muttered
A nauseating rotten sotten past She recalled the sensation of grabbing dry, moldy bread crumbs
Next to her were people covered in filth and waste
Renas was afraid fro at empty air, were unfocused She could not feel a shred of intelligence in their cloudy eyes
They weren’t hu unknown that was once human
“What is, this… I don’t want to remember…”
Her thin fingers covered her face A saps It was a ss If she could escape it she would want to However, she could not escape from her memories no matter where she ran
Renas’s body lost its balance She extended her hand to support herself It didn’t reach the wall, so her body collapsed
“…Haah, haah…”
Renas was on all fours and vo her face in the polluted puddle, she once again raised a small scream
While seeing it happen, she was thinking It’s almost time Just a bit more, when I have the chance, Renas will disappear froone and her personality will be revived
Mattalast was thinking of Renas while walking throughout the town He had no way of knowing her current condition
Renas is a strong woman She didn’t let the fact that she lost Mokkania sadden her She did accept that sadness, but hasn’t lost her sth of a different kind than what us Armed Librarians possess
Mattalast thought that she was an admirable person
“Even so, I wonder why Renas-san lied”
When he asked her how she felt, Renas averted her gaze fro Mattalast alking around while thinking of why she would do so
He suddenly stopped He received Mirepoc’s thoughts
‘Mattalast-san I’m sorry to ask you while you’re on break, but I need to ask so’
‘What is it?’
‘Volken is coo meet him?’
Mattalast’s body became tense He put the matter of Renas in a lower priority He also worried about her, but his job as an Armed Librarian came first
“I see So he came back”
Whileso, Mattalast touched the pistol at his waist
“There’s no choice I’ll go greet him”
Mirepoc severed her Thought Sharing with Mattalast Then, she started talking to the one who sat slovenly on the chair in the Acting Director’s Office, Hamyuts
“I have three matters to report”
“Yes?”
Ha embroidery of a bunny on a shi+rt She spent the entire daywas Hamyuts’s hobby She always did so when she had free tie
“The first report ca the Guinbex Ar supplies to the Indulging God Cult… it appears that he co questioned by him”
“OhGod Cult really were involved”
Hamyuts didn’t seem perturbed at all
“He said that he will now start investigating the acquaintances of that officer and look for other people related to the Indulging God Cult”
“Great, Minth That man’s better suited for jobs unrelated to combat”
Hamyuts said while she turned over the shi+rt and checked her sewing
“The second report This ca the ion
This noon, she confir God Cult and commenced an attack They met resistance, but completely annihilated the facility in about three hours Our side had no casualties”
“Well, since it’s the old lady, Bonbo and Vizac, with the three of theether, it was obvious it would end like that”
“Your decision to send three powerful people there had not been wrong, Director”
Of course, Ha and then cut it with her canines
“We’re doht”
Mirepoc’s expression softened into a s Ever since Mokkania’s rebellion, the Armed Librarians have not been under anyGod Cult’s veils of darkness Mirepoc herself had also greatly contributed to that
Of course, just because they were superior didn’t mean they could relax Nevertheless, it was also true that their day of victory was growing closer
“That’s obvious If they attack us from the front inning”
“Yes”
“Anyhat about the third report?”
Haly satisfied
“Yes ma’am It seems that in about ten minutes froreet him”
At that moment, Hamyuts’s hand stopped She threw the shi+rt on the desk Her eyes were shi+ning coldly
“I see, so that guy’s back”
Her expression was like a carnivorous beast s
“That’s quite unexpected So he returned just as he said I wonder if that kid’s aware of what’s going to happen to him now”
Mirepoc faintly shi+vered at her words and expression Volken became an Armed Librarian the same time as her and was her friend She couldn’t help but fear for his future
