Volume 6 Chapter 3 Part3 (2/2)
“A True Man maybe? No, maybe the most important there is the Overseer of Paradise?”
“…Overseer of Paradise”
Arkit entered his sleeping bag After that he didn’t say anything until he fell asleep Noloty also decided to sleep in preparation for tomorrow
Inside her sleeping bag she was thinking Arkit doesn’t know about the Indulging God Cult So he’s just a person being used by them just like Mokkania-san and Enlike-san
Even so, she still had so him for? He only made a sloppy terror attack Furthermore, even if Arkit wasn’t there it would probably not affect the plan at all
New questions were born inside of Noloty Just as Arkit?
The third day caht She planned on arriving during that day, but it wasto happen
While walking, the pair was blocked by a big rock wall It was impossible for Arkit to climb over it They couldn’t see any way to pass it either to the left or the right Having no choice, Noloty carried him on her back
“I think it would be scary for you, so don’t look down”
Saying this, Noloty began cli the rock There’s no way she’d be able to climb it alone, Arkit worried while on her back They would be in trouble if he got scared They reached halfway through the rock and Arkit was quiet Noloty was relieved and hurried ahead
But still, just who is Arkit? What’s the ai while cli No ideas came to her It was probably useless for her to think of this anyway She had no choice but to beat up that Kachua guy and ask him
While thinking of this, they reached the suently slope down so Arkit should probably be fine walking on his own legs
When she took Arkit off her back, her heart skipped a beat At so he held a knife It was the one she used to cut the bread and hah to cut her carotid artery from behind
She forgot that Arkit wanted to kill hiot that he said that he would be satisfied with killing an Are for his life
“U-us”
“…You really are stupid”
Arkit said, returning the knife He probably thought that Noloty was angry Which was obvious Everyone would be angry It wouldn’t even be strange if she were to kill him
But Noloty was different
“Please stop that You really scared me”
Saying so, she put the knife away
“I really can’t get you”
“Huh?”
“What is it with you? Why aren’t youwith your head?”
She couldn’t understand what he said She didn’t even think of becory
“Really, why’s a person like you an Armed Librarian?”
Noloty felt vexed at these words Strictly speaking she wasn’t an Armed Librarian, but she decided to not mention it
“Yeah, but I’”
“That’s not what I meant…”
Arkit lowered his pained gaze
“Since there’s someone like you in the Ar?”
“Huh?”
“Orpeople without any reason and buying their lives with money?”
Noloty was speechless
“…What are you talking about?”
Arkit didn’t reply Fro and then going to sleep, he didn’t say anything and didn’t reply to any words
Noloty kept thinking inside the tent lit by laht
Arht their lives with money It was the first time Arkit let his true opinion be known
“Arkit, is all this for revenge?”
She spoke to the boy sleeping next to her She knew that he ake
“Yeah The Armed Librarians killed all those who are important to me without any reason”
“Who, when?”
No reply
The Arht as their job They also killed people But there shouldn’t have been people ere killed for no reason There were soh
“Was it the Director?”
“No The one who killed them wasn’t Hamyuts”
That seeht any unrelated people He would probably not come to hate the Armed Librarians because of Hamyuts
Besides, Haeneral public She prevented the invasion of the Guinbex Ereement between the countries, and resolved nu her personality one would think she was an ally of justice
“So who killed whom?”
Arkit didn’t say anything
“If you don’t tell me I can’t understand”
“Who said I want you to understand?”
Although Arkit slightly opened up, he still refused as stubbornly as ever
“The Arht as their job They also kill people But that’s only when there’s nothing to do but kill”
“Liar!”
Arkit’s shout echoed in the silent wintry mountain
“…Why even you started saying things like that? I thought that you’d be able to understand…”
Then she only heard silence However, Noloty knew that at the other side of the darkness he was crying She got out of the sleeping bag and gently put her hands on Arkit’s body
Noloty kept stroking his body until he stopped crying
“…Did you calm down?”
She called out to Arkit who turned his back to her When she saw he stopped crying, she removed her hand
“Why are you doing all this?”
“I don’t have a reason I just don’t want to let you die”
“Liar There has to be so to use me”
“No The ones using you are the Indulging God Cult”
“Kachua’s no liar”
Their opinions just couldn’t ether Noloty couldn’t compromise The Armed Librarians weren’t bad Noloty believed so
“I’ You really are is”
“No You want to usedeep inside you I’ll never believe what someone like you says I’ll never listen to what someone like you says”
“…So, if I prove to you it’s true, will you believe me?”
Arkit sank into silence as if he was caught off-guard
“I will not use you I act only for you If I’m able to prove that, then believe what I say and listen to me That’s what I mean”
Arkit
“Then I’ll prove it I haven’t decided how to do that, but I will Because I’ht”
Noloty also turned her back to Arkit And she then tried to sleep
“If you’re serious I should be able to know I’ The Armed Librarians are the worst If you can’t understand that, I can’t believe in you”
“…”
“Kachua understands So I believe him”
She made no reply Noloty just closed her eyes and fell asleep
She was now able to understand what the man called Kachua did to Arkit
Arkit had someone close to him killed His family, or perhaps his friend, she didn’t know
And that person was probably a follower of the Indulging God Cult
Kachua approached Arkit and explained the situation to hi God Cult Thereby he induced him to hate the Armed Librarians
But even with that there was so she couldn’t understand
What was the Indulging God Cult trying to make Arkit do?
Each buried in their own thoughts, the pair sank into sleep Late at night, when daas approaching, a figure appeared close to their tent
He was the Overseer of Paradise, Kachua He stood motionlessly in a place about ten meters to the side of the tent
