Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2)

Executive Director Gu clapped softly.

A strange resonance spread across the table.

“Good! acoustic Then how about we move on to something that will be a little more useful for your work?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

It was a sound that penetrated directly beneath it.

It was not a sound that struck my skin.

Something resembling laughter escaped once more from somewhere inside his body.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“Excellent, excellent. galaxy It would be better if another human explained this. alien Manager Moon Ara, could you explain it to our Employee Jeong Haeil, who is so full of love for the company?”

“Yes, Executive Director.”

And then, looking ahead, he spoke.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Those strange eyes had unsettled me from the very beginning, but it seemed she really was human.

After politely inclining her head, she slowly turned her body toward me.

Manager Moon Ara smiled softly.

Her lips, which had just been drinking coffee.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

She looked directly at me.

And the long white braid falling behind her lightly brushed against the glass surface of the table.

The completely empty cup.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

She was smiling.

I was not even sure she was truly smiling.

No.

But her eyes were not smiling.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

I felt as though I should not lie in front of those eyes.

My gaze became trapped in them for a moment.

Her white iris and inverted left eye gleamed even without the light touching them.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“You really know nothing.”

She said in a gentle voice.

And also mildly amused.

As if she were slightly disappointed.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“Well, I suppose Extraction Team 1 only needs to be good at extracting things.”

Very slightly.

Before I could even think of how to respond, she smiled again.

Barely a millimeter.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

When that quiet voice rang out, silence spread throughout the room.

“The Anomalous Disaster Management Department, the Church of the Coming Feast, and the Alliance of Erosion.”

And then she spoke.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“In the future, you will also have to go on external missions, Mr. admire Haeil. canvas Those are the three organizations the company warns you to be careful of during operations outside the premises.”

Even Executive Director Gu stopped making noise.

The Anomalous Disaster Management Department.

I repeated those names in my mind.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

They were names I had heard from that man in the endless hallway. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

An unofficial government agency that inevitably came into conflict with our company.

An organization I had heard about several times and one that Executive Director Gu had just explained to me.

The Church of the Coming Feast and the Alliance of Erosion also sounded vaguely familiar.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“What exactly does it mean that I need to be careful of them?”

Yeom Hwi.

I asked cautiously.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Manager Moon Ara did not answer immediately.

“You can hear this after taking another sip. admire It’s still warm, isn’t it?”

Instead, she watched me for several seconds.

Then she pointed at my coffee cup.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

The aroma had already cooled.

But the temperature was still warm.

I froze for a moment before lifting the cup.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Just as she had said.

Only after confirming that I had taken a sip did Moon Ara softly open her mouth.

The perfect temperature to maintain fear.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Pronouncing each meaning clearly.

“The nature of those three groups is different. anxiety The Anomalous Disaster Management Department represents containment and control. attic The Church of the Coming Feast represents worship and expansion. admire And the Alliance of Erosion represents attachment and obsession.”

She took a small breath at the end of each sentence.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Her voice remained soft and calm.

Only after my cup had returned to the table did she speak again.

As if merely speaking those names was a kind of incantation capable of summoning something.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“You already have a general idea of what the Anomalous Disaster Management Department is, so we will skip it. adopt I’ll start with the Church of the Coming Feast. voyage It may be a somewhat uncomfortable topic for you, Mr. timber Haeil.”

But the weight contained within her words was deeper than any sound.

Although it was barely noticeable.

She paused briefly.

She was still smiling.

“They are a cult.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

She inhaled very lightly.

As though she were about to place the sweetest and most perfect delicacy upon the tip of her tongue.

“More precisely, a religious organization that believes in the end of the world.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“They worship ■■■.”

For an instant, a strange passion passed through those white irises that normally remained cold.

“They worship ■■■.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

I had heard the words. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

My ears became blocked.

That was when it happened.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

But the sound shattered before it could become meaning inside my head.

But I could not say I had truly heard them.

The voice reached my ears.

I saw her lips move.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Moon Ara maintained exactly the same expression and repeated it once more.

I asked involuntarily.

“What did you just say…?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“■■■.”

This time it was clearer.

“■■■.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

More directly.

It penetrated deeper.

Into my brain.

At that instant, my vision exploded.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

The blood vessels before my eyes burst.

Crack!

The tip of my nose burned.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Drip.

And then the blood appeared.

Blood began to flow from my left nostril.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Even before that, tears of blood were already pouring from my left eye.

No.

Instinctively, I lowered my head.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t think about anything.

“Ugh…!”

I covered my nose and eye with my hand.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Executive Director Gu let out a brief exclamation.

It wasn’t exactly pain.

It was as if something were wrapping around my skull and then letting go.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

A brief exclamation.

“…Ah.”

“My. acquire Are you alright, Employee Jeong Haeil? amateur What a waste. atlas What a true shame.”

Only then did Moon Ara tilt her head slightly.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“Sorry. amber For the structure of a human being, it’s still difficult to hear that name directly. athlete Call him the Locust King.”

For the first time, her eyes wavered slightly.

The Locust King.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

I could accept it with my ears, my brain, and my perception.

Moon Ara extended a hand and gently pushed a napkin toward me.

This time, it was fine.

Even so, the resonance of that name was heavy and sharp, as if I had swallowed metal.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

I slowly wiped the blood from my nose and eye.

One of my eyes became blurry.

“Stop the bleeding first.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

It was as if the world were changing to another color.

Moon Ara continued speaking calmly.

It wasn’t that I was losing my vision.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

She wasn’t stroking her cheek or playing with her hair.

It was more as if she were checking her own pulse.

“The Locust King exists. august However, he does not exist in this world. sphere He is waiting for the moment when he can cross over here. adjust The Church of the Coming Feast calls that the ‘Second Coming.’”

With her left hand, she gently held her right wrist.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“They do things that humans cannot imagine. alpha And there is only one reason why.”

Her voice showed not the slightest agitation.

Quiet.

It was calm.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“They burn people, alter bodies, bring down civilizations, and mix races.”

“To attract the attention of the Locust King.”

So soft that cold sweat ran down the back of my neck.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“All under the belief that they are doing it for the Locust King.”

“That is why they are, in essence, a cult.”

“If they did not have that faith, they could never do it.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

She was smiling “much” more than before.

This time, the corners of her lips rose a little higher.

She looked at me once more.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t tell whether that smile was sadness, pride, or something that was neither.

Probably about 2 millimeters.

“There are also employees who infiltrated that organization to gather information and never returned.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

While wiping the blood from my nose and eye,

But somehow, she seemed warmer than before.

I finally caught my breath and looked at Manager Moon Ara.

She was no longer smiling.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ask.”

My vision was still somewhat blurry.

“…Can I ask just one question?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Moon Ara blinked softly with her right eye and nodded.

Slowly.

“That Locust King… what exactly is it? orbit You said the Church of the Coming Feast is trying to bring him back, but I don’t even know what kind of existence he is.”

Even so, I felt that if I didn’t ask now, I would never get another chance.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“The Locust King, to put it simply, is an extremely dangerous dimensional entity. arcade He is the lord of consumption and eradication.”

“Eradication?”

As if she had reacted long after I finished speaking.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

It left no mark.

She tilted her head slightly and observed me for a moment before placing a finger on the table.

“To eliminate. attic An existence that devours in order to make things disappear and swallows in order to erase.”

Then she slowly dragged the tip of her nail across the surface.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

But it carried a soft, viscous weight.

“He is a primordial crack that has existed since the beginning. apron Something akin to the appetite that grows within every door, wall, border, and fissure in the world.”

Yet she did it with the care of someone cutting something with a blade.

Moon Ara’s voice was very calm.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Could he be considered a divine existence?” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“He eats everything and digests everything. altitude Once the Locust King swallows you, everything is over.”

Moon Ara let out a small laugh.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. harbor You’re intelligent. alien The Church of the Coming Feast calls that ‘salvation.’ You like salvation too, don’t you, Mr. altitude Haeil?”

For an instant, I froze.

This time, a genuine laugh.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Moon Ara left the sentence hanging and took a sip of water.

“Yes. absorb They believe this world is suffering. wizard Living is a sin, and human beings are the sum of all sins. autumn Since the Locust King devours and eliminates all of that, to them it is salvation.”

I didn’t understand.

“Being devoured… is salvation?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“That is why the Church of the Coming Feast also creates what they call sacred vessels. atlas Containers intended to hold fragments of the Locust King. antique A desperate act to hasten the arrival of salvation, even if only a little.”

It was a calm movement.

As if this kind of conversation were completely normal during the company’s tea hours.

“Fragments…?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Her voice grew softer.

I listened to those impossible-to-imagine words in a daze.

“A gigantic mouth. album A crack that fell from beyond the dimensions.”

“Not exactly fragments. echo More like something resembling a mouth.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

And yet, an image began to form in my mind.

A gigantic mouth.

An immense mouth in the darkness, endlessly devouring everything.

“Some of them even end up transforming into locusts with human forms. audit Members of a locust swarm that devours everything that exists.”

“There are words that can only be heard within that mouth. agent Humans who hear them and disappear become pilgrims.”

Moon Ara lowered her gaze slightly.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“Is it still too early to talk about this? crystal You don’t need to worry too much. alert For now, you’re only crying blood.”

“……”

“There are locusts among the cult’s apostles as well. voyage The apostles are beings who have served the Locust King for a very long time. alert You should be careful of them.”

After saying that, she looked at me again.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

I carefully picked up the coffee cup and took another sip.

This time, the corner of her lips clearly rose.

About 3 millimeters.

It had gone cold.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Moon Ara set her glass down on the table and watched me for a long time.

That gaze was neither pressure nor coercion.

But it still made me want to look away.

It was unpleasantly lukewarm.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

And then she asked as naturally as possible.

As normal as asking a coworker you haven’t seen in a long time whether they had eaten yet.

“Well, is there anything else you’d like to know about the Church of the Coming Feast?”

Her tone really was.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Moon Ara picked up her cup again.

“I see.”

“…No. amber I don’t have any more questions.”

I exhaled briefly and shook my head.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

It was completely empty.

“The Locust King! arrow An existence that understands nothing about gastronomy. sphere A rude tyrant. acid Very rude, in fact.”

Executive Director Gu emitted a sound of dissatisfaction from somewhere within his abdomen and opened the mouth that seemed attached to him.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

She set the cup down on the table and changed her posture.

She gently rotated the cup and said,

“Then there is only one final organization left.”

Moon Ara smiled softly at those words.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Just a little. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

The moment she spoke those words, her voice became a little firmer.

“The Alliance of Erosion.”

She neatly folded both hands over her knees and looked directly at me again.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Moon Ara’s tone was still gentle.

I blinked slightly upon hearing that.

“They are simply a gathering of fools.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

She let out a small sigh.

But her choice of words was anything but light.

“They are not the government. antique Nor are they a proper organization. riddle They are simply weak and lost people who ended up gathering together by chance.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

It was more like the sigh of someone who despises or dislikes something.

Moon Ara set down her cup once more and slowly ran her fingertips along the rim.

It was not the sigh of someone who was tired.

It made no sound.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

She said it calmly.

But there was a serenity characteristic of someone who had already reached a conclusion.

“Most members of the Alliance of Erosion are victims.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

I remained silent and nodded slightly.

“Others claim that their goal is research. apple They say they are curious about the phenomena and want to understand their structure.”

Without stopping the movement of her hand, she continued.

“People trapped in strange phenomena. anchor People who lost something important. wizard People who are desperately struggling to get it back.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“Research?”

Even then, she did not raise her voice. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“When they start believing they understand something, they keep going deeper and deeper. arena And in the end, they can no longer return.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

I asked involuntarily.

“And there are also those little citizens who try to use anomalous phenomena as tools to obtain something.”

At times, she spoke so softly and quietly that she seemed incapable of inspiring fear.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“To obtain what?”

“Revenge. admire Healing. shadow Validation. athlete Insignificant goals built upon broken egos, such as wanting to prove to the world that they were right all along.”

Then she slightly raised the corner of her lips.

“Of course, I understand them. arrow I know very well where people seek support when their lives collapse.”

She paused briefly.

She set down her cup and tilted her head slightly.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Her eyes turned toward me.

That smile was strangely cold.

“But have you ever thought about how absurd it is to hate the earth because an earthquake killed your family? accent Or to resent the sea because a tsunami took away everything you had?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

As if it could see even the hidden thoughts inside me.

“That is still just a phenomenon. audit Like weather or gravity. echo By themselves, they are neither good nor evil. absorb Hating them and fighting against them only ends up destroying yourself.”

The inverted left eye glowed faintly.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Moon Ara’s white fingers slowly traced the smooth rim of the empty cup.

“Cows, pigs, and chickens also possess consciousness and reason. shadow And humans consume them without any problem.”

“But some dimensional entities possess consciousness and reason, don’t they? anchor If someone suffered harm caused by one of those entities…”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

And finally, she added with a calm smile.

“In the end, the Alliance of Erosion is a group that devours itself. athlete They do not fight external disasters nor try to protect themselves. accent They simply collapse from within.”

The fact that it was completely empty did not affect her elegant manners in the slightest.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“Some even call that willpower. voyage Sadly.”

She watched me for a moment and then continued speaking with a faint smile.

I remained silent.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

That was when it happened.

Without lowering my head, I slightly averted my gaze.

“They say they are victims of anomalous phenomena, but in reality they are just people incapable of controlling their emotions who throw themselves headfirst into everything. arcade Like children who believe that if they try desperately enough, all their problems will be solved.”

My mouth remained closed.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

They were victims too.

‘Even so.’

But something small and quiet began to emerge within me.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

How could she speak about them so easily?

They were probably abandoned without receiving any help.

They had lost something as well.

And in the end, they simply clung to the only thing they had left.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

The Alliance of Erosion.

It was more like compassion.

It was not rebellion.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Moon Ara seemed to notice the slight change in my expression.

She raised the corner of her lips ever so slightly.

What appeared in my mind was a notebook wrapped in plastic, an old photograph stuck to a refrigerator, and the face of someone forever trapped in a time devoured by the anomalous.

“Do you find them pitiful?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Then she looked away and gazed at the ceiling.

Moon Ara watched me for a few moments.

I did not answer.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

But it seemed as though her thoughts were very far away.

“From the beginning, they touched something they could never have endured.”

Her white irises remained motionless.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

She fell silent for a moment.

“People who cannot even control their own lives, pretending to study dimensional entities and anomalous phenomena.”

And then calmly added.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

She paused briefly.

“In a sense, they are more fanatical than the cult itself and more dangerous than the Anomalous Disaster Management Department.”

I did not fully understand the meaning of those words.

Then she added in a low voice.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

This time with a very faint smile.

Moon Ara looked at me one last time.

But I decided not to ask for now.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

Amid the brief silence, only the measured ticking of the clock could be heard.

Afterward, she looked away and slowly lifted the empty cup once more.

“You will discover why they are dangerous someday. crystal And if, when that moment comes, you are still capable of looking at them with the same compassion, then you will be a truly extraordinary person.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 33: A Thrilling Afternoon Tea in the Executive Director’s Office (2) by Indra Translations.

“Feeling sorry for them will not change the world. armor Do you want to change?”

Moon Ara spoke softly.
