Volume 5 Chapter 4 Part2 (1/2)
Although she was a Meat, Olivia didn’t lodge in the Meats’ cabin Obviously, it was thanks to Charlot Keeping only her treater a Meat
At that day Olivia went to a room which wasn’t Charlot’s cabin
“…My request is what I said What should I do?”
Two people sat face to face One was Olivia Her slender legs peeked from the hem of her thin dress and she smiled
The other was the shi+p’s icians and scientists serving the Indulging God Cult
He couldn’t use Magic and had no special skills When they realize he could also notGod Cult will throw him away And all the Cult’s followers knew that they would be throay into the Meats’ room
They were staring at each other The rily, but she responded with aexpression
“I’ve said this plenty of times, but my request is very simple”
She said, pointing at hier
“I’ You will see nothing and know nothing That’s it Isn’t it easy?”
The ritted his teeth
“A Meat requesting me… a Meat…”
“Choose your words, False Man”
She hit the desk with her fist A loud sound echoed, but Olivia was not inti at all
“Charlot-saree”
“This bitch…”
First a Meat and now a bitch? I’ve been promoted, smiled Olivia
“Think well about this This is the best option for you
I don’t intend on interrupting your job You can keep using the Meats for experie medicines on them, kill them, or whatever
Meats areme as well”
The rinded his teeth Olivia read fro thatwhat a Meat told him
“You certainly ry
That’s not all It her in the Cult If they think you’re an incoer who can’t control the Meats ill you do?”
“…”
“As long as you stay silent about this, nothing will happen”
“…”
“Do you want to lose everything? Don’t you want to go to that place called Heaven?”
She er nodded
Olivia had already understood the Indulging God Cult was a large organization that worked for their self-interest Such organizations were usually hars lie and all that
“Oh, I also have another thing to ask”
“You’re still not done?”
“You can throay as many Meats as you’d like, but can I be the only exception?”
The er’s eyes widened for a while He then
“You heretic…”
You as well, thought Olivia
She was at the dead end of a corridor at one of the shi+p’s corners Several False Men were talking there Olivia hid and listened to the about her
“When are we going to stop letting that bitch roam around?”
“Someone has to deal with her”
“But how? Charlot’s looking out for her”
“That horndog… everything’s his fault He’s athe Cult’s supposed to be?”
Olivia knew that Charlot was not faithful to the Cult in the first place He joined it only so he could perform human experimentation that couldn’t be done in the outside world He had no interest in what all False Men seemed to aim for, the place called Heaven
“But what’s that bitch trying to do?”
“As if I care!”
Olivia stopped eavesdropping and tried to take her leave Afrom behind her
“Oh, you’re finally here”
She said She told a Meat to come there beforehand
“Ah, uh…”
He was a particularly broken st the Meats He could barely understand words, but his ability to think was thoroughly destroyed Because of that he easily followed orders
Just as Olivia told hi explosive from the bottom of the shi+p Olivia pointed at the shi+p’s corridor and instructed hi between them
“…Why’s a Meat here?”
“He’s holding a bomb!!!”
She heard panicking Olivia walked in the shadows, nodding
The False Men tried apprehending the Meat while he resisted He held to the bo to it with both arms
“Stop!”
Hearing Olivia’s voice, both the False Men and the Meat ceased all movements
“You can’t do that These people didn’t think of killing me”
Saying this, she took the bomb away from him
“I’ainst their better judgment”
“…”
The False Men shook with fear
“I wonder ould happen if I were to die?”
She glared at theo back to his cabin The higher ups of the Indulging God Cult would never iine this - that the shi+p meant to raise Meats was under the control of those very Meats
She opened her eyes
Since she ended up rehtly sick Volken looked at her worryingly, but she shook her hand to signify she was fine
What did she receive frooal? She still couldn’t remember
“…Still, I was quite so”
Olivia voiced her i else
“Say, Volken You probably know about me”
“Yes”
“What do you think about it? As an ally of justice”
Volken spoke frankly
“You are a villain That hat I concluded”
What an honest ht Olivia
“Aren’t you thinking of beating me before Hamyuts?”
“I have But that would not be the proper course of action”
“…”
“There are two reasons First I need you in order to defeat Haether with a sreater evil I may be inexperienced, but I can make that much of a distinction”
“Hmm”
“Secondly, I don’t know your goals yet Even villains sometime take action for the sake of justice But be as it may, they are still villains”
Olivia silently clicked her tongue
“Well, that’s true I’m a villain”
She then thought to herself I don’t care about being a villain or whatever As long as I retrieve Vend Ruga I don’t care about anything else
“Fifteen o”
They both got on the flying boat It accelerated on the narrow river and then flew to the sky
“…A villain, huh”
Olivia muttered That was probably true She let le tear It wasn’t because she was strong She never felt sad or the need to cry
But that was fine For the sake of her goal she had no need for feelings
‘…That’s wrong’
At that moment, a voice came into her head Olivia looked around her Since it was a woht be the thing known as Thought Sharing, but had no idea how that worked
But she could understand so to her
‘What’s wrong?’
Olivia returned her thoughts
‘I think you’veof all Since you didn’t notice it, you can’t reoal’
‘What’s this i?’
‘If you face yourself you should understand it’
‘Don’t talk as if you know everything, Renas Fleur’
After a short while of silence, Renas replied
‘I am you I know all about you’
“…How annoying”
Oliviawrong but she waved her hand signaling nothing happened
‘I think that you’re truly a bad person just as Volken-san said
However, fundaht You had to betray people in order to win You were in a fight where one had to act this way’
‘Aren’t you acting out of character?’
‘I do hate fighting And I will never forgive you
But although I hate it, I do understand You had to fight’
Shut up, thought Olivia
‘Stay silent, Renas Fleur You’re already gone You can’t come back to this world’
‘I have sorace period before I disappear It will probably soon end though’
Renas replied inside Olivia’s mind
‘Remember, Olivia Deep down in your heart, you are not a cruel person
Please remember this’
Together with Renas’s words, another memory was revived
She was on the shi+p Hearing the sounds of a person being dragged in the night’s darkness, another corpse was being throay Howat the fifth one
“Don’t you feel anything?”
The Meat holding the legs opened his mouth
“He died for you Don’t you feel anything about that?”
“…You speak well”
The eyes of the Meat were not cloudy like those of the others, even though until recently he had the same dead eyes like the rest of them
“I’ve recently regained ht have been influenced by you”
“…Is that so”
Olivia and the Meat cooperated to throw the corpse into the sea
“Even if I were to die you would probably not feel anything No, that’s fine That’s what being a Meat’s all about”
“Yeah You don’t feel anything for a piece of meat”
“What a strange person Although your s were omitted Or perhaps you were that kind of person in the first place?”
Olivia slapped his cheek as he kept talking
“Shut up Don’t talk I’ll kill you”
“Are you really not sad?”
She hit the Meat’s cheek again This time she balled her hand to a fist and struck him A tooth flew out from his mouth
“I’m not sad No matter who dies it doesn’t matter to me”
“Why are you lying?”
“I’m serious”
Saying this, Olivia turned her back to him
“…I’m serious”
Her words were her true feelings, yet simultaneously a lie
