Volume 7 Chapter 3 Part1 (2/2)
He wanted to say “nothing” but stopped himself
Just like Noloty, Yankuu hated hurting people He had thought he was a person who couldn’t kill
However, Yankuu recently started questioning this So aking up
November 1926
It was decided that Yankuu had enough of an ability to be promoted to a trainee In order to receive the formal approval, Yankuu and the Librarian School’s principal were headed to Bantorra Library It was unlikely for his promotion to be refused after the School approved itActually, it had the implication that this will be his debut
“There weren’t even five people a the Armed Librarians that were promoted to a trainee when they were fifteen But don’t think of this as an honor What’s important is not when you become an Armed Librarian but what you do as one”
The principal said before they passed through Bantorra Library’s gates
“Yes sir”
“You have probably already been notified, but your inspector will be Mattalast Listen well to what he has to say”
They caether to Mattalast’s desk He stopped his hand that riting soed greetings briefly, he extended his hand to Yankuu
He grabbed it back It was a soft handshake, but he could still feel Mattalast’s frightening strength from it
“Nice to meet you, I’m Mattalast This principal forced me to take care of a problem child like you”
He probably expected him to be diplomatic about the whole business However, Mattalast had been frank
“A problem child? Me?”
“No honors student would get punished five tiht? Further your training battles”
Mattalast hit the documents on his desk The incidents caused by Yankuu ritten on theood conduct beca violent welled up within him and he couldn’t restrain himself
“Even if the job of an Ar, people who can’t show the minimum restraint will be punished Just what happened to you?”
Mattalast made the principal leave and faced Yankuu alone
“The reason is Noloty, right?”
“Yes”
“She was a good kid It’s natural for you to be dragged along But a year has passed I think it’s time for you to find some solution”
Yankuu shook his head to the side
“I’ve alreadyabout it”
“At the Indulging God Cult?”
“I don’t understand”
Yankuu answered frankly The Indulging God Cult had been destroyed and so both Kachua and Daltom, the one to kill Noloty, have already died So there was no need to keep being angry He understood this, yet his anger was yet to calm down He wasn’t able to find anyone he could hit
“Anger with no outlet, huh Troublesome”
Mattalast held down his hat and picked up the documents from the desk
“I think it’s fine for you to graduate the Librarian School However, I can’t allow you to be promoted to a trainee I can’t let you accept responsibility while you harbor feelings like that”
“Then what’ll happen with me?”
“Let’s say you’ll be under my custody There’s no such system in place, but I’ll make the Director overlook this You won’t be promoted until you calm down”
“What do I need to do?”
“Nothing At any rate, put yourself in order Because if not…”
Mattalast shtly
“Well, we’ll cross that bridge e get to it”
Under such circu time of leisure
Afterto a dor for him to do He barely knew anyone at the Library He becaed from his friends at the Librarian School due to his frequent violent incidents Yankuu simply loitered around town
Was there anything good in doing so? Was it fine for hi but doubts
Walking around aiates of Bantorra Library Just as he thought of turning on his heels and return to the town, he found a side-street
“…Was there a road here?”
The narrow road see the Library Yankuu entered it
While walking he was thinking He thought about the anger with no outlet that was inside him
Although the Indulging God Cult was destroyed, his rage was yet to calrown deeper
“Why?”
He er was there
When people fight each other, so Sis Noloty? Why did this killing happen? Why did the Indulging God Cult exist?
Why The more he pursued this, the more he couldn’t stop
The subject of his anger was er than just the Cult It was directed at destiny and at the world itself
He was si of this and walking around, a voice called out to him
“Welcome to the road of hesitation”
Yankuu stopped and looked at the side of the road A wo on a plain wooden bench She was a beautiful woman with short, flaxen hair and a plain one-piece dress
“Ah, sorry for calling out to you suddenly I have no important business so don’t mind me”
The woh tone that didn’t suit her features
“…Road of hesitation?”
“I just decided to call it like that For so always end up encircling this road
A person called Renas used to stroll here Before her was also the guy called Mokkania According to what I’ve heard, soht, there was also Volken”
There were so the ones the woman spoke All of them, maybe
“But there’s a certain o around here, vanished from Bantorra Library without a trace How mysterious”
The woman said so and smiled He only now noticed this, but the wos Was she on the middle of a stroll as well?
“You too?”
“Yeah You as well, tail-haired boy, right?”
The wo at Yankuu’s hair
“What are you worried about? Nothing good would co bad either”
She was an unknooain Yankuu casually opened his mouth
“One year ago, a person i God Cult It still haunts me I can’t move on even after a full year”
“A year ago is just like yesterday It’s natural to get caught up on a person’s death if they’re important to you”
She wasn’t trying to console his
“So what are you worrying about?”
“I want to fight I’d like to settle that person’s death But er is all just pent up and I have no opponent for it”
“I see Because the Indulging God Cult was destroyed”
Although it was the middle of the conversation, the woman stood up
“However, your real enemy is still alive”
“Huh?”
“Your ene God Cult It’s also the Armed Librarians”
“Why?”
The woman went on the opposite direction from Yankuu
“Besides, the Indulging God Cult ht have still survived No, it probably did”
Leaving those words behind, the woman left Yankuu tilted his neck and watched her off Was she just a strange person?
He soon forgot about her However, her words were left in the back of his head The Indulging God Cult was alive and his real enemy was the Armed Librarians
