Volume 6 Chapter 6 Part2 (1/2)
An hour passed since the lightning strike Ti
Both the hut and the plants around it were burning Kachua’s body, now a charred and twisted corpse, was crushed by the collapsed hut and in the process of turning into ashes that can’t be thought of as a person
Even collapsed, the hut kept burning and soon only left behind a small fire Only the box made of Divine Copper in which the Gloomy Lizard was confined stayed as it was
Soon Enlike stood up Even his super regeneration required that much time until he was able to stand With unsteady steps he walked away fro out Noloty’s Book that he buried and then approached the hut again
“…Arkit”
He twisted off the box’s lock The Magic Beast inside survived without any changes to it The fact the box was so sturdy was probably Kachua’s final failure Were the lightning strike to kill Arkit as well, it would probably be the end of the Armed Librarians
Enlike started talking to the reptile
“Do you still hate the Armed Librarians?”
‘…Hate…’
Arkit formed words
‘…I don’t care about anything… not about the Ar else… just disappear…’
“Yeah I also think like that”
It didn’t reed with Arkit Even for Enlike the Ar to do with Since Noloty was gone, he no longer cared if the world got destroyed
Noloty was the world’s treasure No irl like that will never be born Noloty’s death was enough of a reason for the world to be destroyed to both Arkit and Enlike
“However, even if we think that way, Noloty won’t forgive us”
‘…Noloty…’
“Can you believe it, Arkit? There’s a person ould forgive you betraying her and being cruel to her There’s an idiot that, even though you wanted to destroy the world, still wanted to save you I can’t believe it You probably don’t, either”
‘…You’re lying…’
“Did you know? Everything in the world belongs to her Both you and I belong to Noloty”
Saying this, Enlike placed Noloty’s Book near the Magic Beast’s nose Her memories were transmitted to Arkit He no of the question that Noloty wasn’t able to pose to him
He soon forain
‘…Noloty’s life, and my hatred, which is more important…’
No tears could come out of Arkit’s eyes anymore If he could cry he probably would have
‘Even if… you didn’t ask you should know the answer… she’s such an idiot… I can’t understand her at all…’
“Yeah She really is an idiot”
‘I wonder if she would still say that… don’t hate… how stupid… you still say those things…’
Arkit’s soul wept
‘…I got it… I’ll listen… to what you said…’
When they first met, Noloty told him: she wanted him to listen to what she said
She beca just so he would listen to what she said She went along with him to Kachua for that too And she was also killed for that
Thinking back, that’s all the fight until noas
At that moained their sanity
Near the su cornered The light-weighted un in one hand Yukizona no longer had enough power to wipe them out
Just as he was trying to make his worn out body release a wave in full power one more time…
“Brother, ith the attack!”
Yuri, atching the outside, said
“The enemies’ attacks stopped”
“…What?”
She looked below the cliff Despite attacking theo, the soldiers now seemed aardly flustered Even from afar it was clear they fell apart
“What happened, is the war over?”
Yukizona looked down Once of the soldiers attached to the cliff raised his voice
“It’s Yukizona! An attack’s co!”
The soldiers all ran aith great confusion There were also those who in their desperate attempt to climb down fell With his hand clad in a black wave, Yukizona watched them in blank amazement
Bantorra Library was also wrapped in confusion Everyone was befuddled by the fact the enemy’s attacks suddenly stopped Several Are the enemy’s situation
“Is it over?”
An Ar ammunition in preparation for the next attack
“Don’t stop, you fools! Prepare for the next attack!”
Minth said
“But they stopped attacking”
“I just don’t get what’s going on…”
Saying so, Minth dragged his legs and ran to the town He looked at people’s souls using his Sacred Eyes No matter where he looked, he couldn’t see the shape of hatred anywhere
Bonbo ca
“Mirepo, what do we do? Should we take this opening to attack?”
Mirepoc shook her head
“I don’t knoe should do…”
“What about the Director? Where did Mattalast go to?”
“I’m sorry, but please look at the current situation I have no idea what’s going on”
She tried sending her thoughts to the Director and to Mattalast At that ician who could use the sa ability as her, her senior from the Guinbex Imperial Army
‘Mirepoc, what’s going on? Have we attacked Bantorra Library?’
Before, he sent her a proclamation of war full of hatred But noas confused and scared
‘Why are we fighting the Ar on?’
Mirepoc replied in her thoughts
‘You were all being controlled And that has now ended Please convey this to all armies The war is over’
Her thoughts cut off Having lost all tension, Mirepoc plopped to her chair with a thud
The war is over Without thean and why it ended, it was over
Ha away Having lost both the power and the intention to resist, she rass
“Hamyuts!”
Mattalast finally caing her sling, wrapped it around her neck and threw it away
“Calm down, it’s over! The war’s over!”
He ele with all of his power Even though she was trying to shake hio of her hand and neck
“It’s over! Stop this!”
“…It’s over?”
Hamyuts’s movements stopped
“What’s over? It’s over? Why?”
“I don’t know Anyway, it’s over”
While breathing heavily, Hamyuts muttered weakly
“…No way”
The wet body of the Magic Beast started drying Its sli it happen
Is it over? he thought I have no way of knohat happens around the world, but it’s probably over
“…Arkit”
Enlikeapart
On his face was Noloty’s Book After he turned to sand and disappeared, Enlike extended his hand to the Book
As his fingertips touched it, theinto his head It was theNoloty’s student days
Noloty was gazing at the starry sky froarden Her head that was broken by Ireia still hurt The dog that ran aas still howling somewhere However, her heart was clear
“Noloty-san, you have to rest”
The one to speak at that moment was Ireia
“Oh, sorry I’ll go back soon”
Saying this, Noloty kept gazing at the starry sky
“So you’ve made up your mind And it’s bad for me”
Ireia could read this from Noloty’s expression
“…I’ up”
“I have also given up No matter what I say to you, it will be useless”
She said and sat next to Noloty
“So, why? If you say you have no reason I will be worried about your head in a different ”
“My reason, huh… well, I can’t say I don’t have one…”
Noloty thought for a while, and then said
“In short, it’s because this world belongs to me”
Whenever she said this, everyone was surprised and stunned Ireia also made such an expression
“Who decided that?”
“I did”
“No one will think that way”
“It doesn’t matter
My clothes also belong tothinks of all his country’s citizens as his, but other people don’t think that way So it’s fine”
“But you can’tto your will”
“That’s also fine It’s not like I can s hurt I can’t run, and when s are my own and so is my alarm clock
So even the things that don’t work the way I want them to are mine”
Ireia tried running this twisted logic through her head
“Oh well You are fine that way”
Noloty clapped her hands and seemed happy There truly were only few people who could understand her Ireia spoke to the rejoicing Noloty
“…So, is there anything good here? If the world really is yours”
“A lot of things Or rather, there’s nothing else but a stuff”
Noloty rose up and spread her hands
“Because if sos toI find this world extremely important Irresistibly precious”
“Are both enemies and allies precious to you?”
“Yes Any and all people Because all of the to me”
