Volume 8 Chapter 1 Part1 (2/2)
“It’s botherso”
Saying that, Enlike passed by Olivia
“Miss tailor, what did you mean just now?”
“Are you acquainted with the Director?”
The people around started talking with Olivia one after another She was being pressed for a response Enlike left the area
It happened nine o
Enlike decided on fighting against Heaven, but his road was full of difficulties After all, he had no way of knohat exactly Heaven here it was located, and whether it actually existed
He didn’t even know the location of his eneht
No, calling it a fight would be too co for clues
At that tie occurred at a certain town in the Ismo Republic A man spoke to Enlike This happened in some bar at the slums
He was an ill-bred un and a flashy knife, but he could see he was an alance The raph
“Do you know this woman?”
Enlike widened his eyes He remembered her clearly She was the woman sheltered by the Armed Librarians, Renas Fleur
He heard that she was taken by the man called Volken and died However, Enlike met up with her before she was taken away At the time she introduced herself as Olivia Littolet
Why was he looking for that wo for her?
He had trouble not letting his doubts and agitation show up on his face Luckily the other man seemed thick-headed and so he probably didn’t notice any of that
“I’m not sure if I have or haven’t seen her…”
Hearing Enlike’s vague answer, the ue and put the photo away
“Wait, why are you looking for that woman?”
Enlike persisted He et some sort of clue out of that
“It has nothing to do with you She’s just so”
He probably really didn’t know the reason Although he was so
“Will you let me help? I’m in a bit need of money”
“Who cares Go fish up the trash”
“…Do you still not need me?”
Saying this, Enlike pinched the edge of the table and broke it He then grasped the frag them to fine dust
“Are you a Magic User?”
“I’ to lose by letting me join”
The ed his behavior and drew closer to Enlike
“Then you should’ve told me this earlier We elcome you”
The erated, but it was a poor gang in this town Enlike gave them a fake name and joined them
At the time he didn’t think it would beco God Cult was fine He only noticed that he stu found Olivia
A month later, the search for Olivia proceeded slowly They already found out the city she inhabited Next they just had to find her and report to their employer
“Mister, has your face been changing lately?”
Asked the thug acco him as they walked around the town Enlike’s face was continually changing at that tie ever since the end of last year, but recently his face became completely different than Zatoh’s
“Yeah, well, but don’tdeal”
The thug shrugged, thinking it weird
“I don’t really get people who use Magic”
During that s was They were probably mercenaries paid by Mattalast He once happened to hear about hi such people
But as Mattalast pursuing Olivia? Hamyuts was the one supposed to have announced her dead
What was their reason for hiding her survival and pursuing her from the shadows? Enlike became interested
Then, at a corner of that town… Enlike noticed a wo shoes
It was Olivia, or perhaps Renas The thug alongside hiers to his neck and released a s
“H-hey, what’s wrong?”
The thug collapsed Enlike supported hi to be flustered Since he shot him with the minimal amount of power, there would probably be no wounds Everyone would just think that he had suddenly fainted
Enlike laid him on a bench and left the spot
Feeling suspicious, Olivia stopped her shoe-polishi+ng and ran away Enlike chased after her and caught up to her in a back alley
“It’s been a while, are you Renas Fleur? Or are you Olivia Littolet?”
No matter who she was, she pulled a knife out of her pocket and threatened Enlike like an angered cat That ht Enlike
“…Wait, I’m not your enemy Please listen to me, Olivia”
“Shut up Are you with Ha God Cult?”
“Neither Just calm down Do you remember me? We met once when you ith Volken”
Saying so, Enlike produced a s in his hand Olivia searched her memory for a while and then stared at him in shock
“Are you Enlike Bishi+le? Your face is completely different…”
Olivia still not lowered her guard She probably thought that he orking under Mattalast
“Calm down I didn’t come here to capture you I came to talk with you”
“…What?”
“Why are you pursued by Mattalast?”
Olivia and Enlike gazed at each other for a while Finally she lowered her knife and sighed
“In theA lot happened so I’m tired”
“…I see Let’s go somewhere”
At a cheap restaurant, Olivia finished a steak for two people It seery Enlike was the one to pay; he had no shortage of cash at the moment
During that ti and sent him back home He obviously did not tell him about Olivia
The pair spoke about their circu in
“…And that’s what happened with me”
Enlike was the first to explain He told her that despite having defeated the Indulging God Cult he was still looking for Heaven Searching for clues, he joined in the hunt for Olivia
“I will trust you for now”
Olivia said Enlike was somewhat relieved
“Why do you so readily believe me?”
“Because you have no need to lie If you were my enemy you would have killed me in a split second”
Olivia smiled with a tired face When he saw it, he was er see any trace of her brazen composure
“On the contrary, I’m worried if you will believe me Because it’s all too crazy So much that even I can’t believe it”
“Just talk for now”
Olivia spoke for a long tia as a child Next ca God Cult’s shi+p Finally she reached how she was robbed of her ed to Renas Fleur
“…This is quite the story even so far”
Olivia said and seous life He thought that Olivia’s life rivaled his
“There’s still ins now”
Olivia’s battle still continued: the retrieval of her ainst Ha in her survival
And finally, herher about the Violet Wish
“…Regarding the last thing Lascall said, even I’m not sure if it was just a delusion Because all of that is completely crazy and ridiculous Do you believe me, Enlike-kun?”
Enlike held his mouth and sank into silence for a while
“What’s wrong, Enlike-kun?”
“I… believe He introduced hiht?”
“Yeah I’e brat”
“Then I believe you If it’s really Lascall Othello”
Enlike also had a deep connection to Lascall Zatoh was given Enlike’s Book by hiht Enlike the Books of Qumola and Noloty He couldn’t tell if he was an ally or an ene God Cult, but there was no doubt he was an existence related to the very core of the secrets
That Lascall had said clearly - Heaven existed That truth appeared accompanied with the proof called Olivia
Enlike couldn’t really understand if he was feeling anger or joy He siers tre of that made his skin shi+ver
On top of that, he was able to gain yet another clue
The soleHeaven - the Violet Wish
“Today’s been quite the day…”
Enlike s them both at the same time
“That’s a nice sht to you”
“Is there anyone but me?”
“True There’s no one else”
Saying so, they both laughed
That evening, Enlike lodged with Olivia On paper he was supposed to have been pursuing her, so they couldn’t loiter around together outside
“Just what is Heaven?”
Enlike said They both sat side by side on the one-person bed Enlike was sitting near the pillohile Olivia sat cross-legs on the other side Enlike started talking
“The following is what I know right now Heaven is a place that accumulates the Books of happy people The Ar God Cult to produce those Books They both cooperate to preserve the secret But for what?”
“Who knows, I haven’t the slightest idea”
Olivia shrugged
“All I know is that the Ar God Cult are birds of a feather It ht us and ruined our lives”
“Why are they protecting the secret of Heaven? What does it exist for?”
Enlike kept thinking earnestly
“That’s obvious They’re the sao to Heaven after they die That’s all”
Olivia said
“Is that so… I personally don’t think so”
“Why?”
“While these guys are villains, so to accooals, but they’re definitely not self-interested or desired They only think of fulfilling their duty
Hamyuts Meseta is an exception, but she is also unselfish other than in battle”
“Is that so?”
“I’ve been involved with the Armed Librarians for a while So I know
Their strength ultimately lies in their sense of duty and responsibility This is the strength that the Indulging God Cult lacks and the Armed Librarians possess
If their only goal was self-interest, the Aranization”
“…And what of it?”
“Protecting Heaven is not out of self-interest Because it is their duty which must be fulfilled I don’t know the circuh”
“Is that what you think? I have no idea”
“Yeah”
Enlike was also involved with the positive parts of the Arative parts Since their viewpoints were different they would reach different conclusions Right now they had no idea as right
“Anyway, about the identity of Heaven If we don’t understand it on’t be able to fight”
Olivia shook her head to the side
“Our survival coht if we don’t live”
That’s true, Enlike reconsidered
