122 – Romantic Death Case (2)
“What…!”
The archer was surprised and looked around where Han Jaejoong had just been. I searched up to a 1km radius, but I couldn’t find any traces of him anywhere. He calmed his mind again and narrowed his focus.
“It’s the power of stars. “His own… no, perhaps that woman’s.”
It looks like there was a helper. He thought they were simply sharing secrets, but it seems that they went beyond this and became helpers who supported each other with stellar power.
“That woman was able to control the power of the stars with a human body… She’s not even a magical girl… I guess I should be careful.”
The archer’s prediction was accurate. Jo A-yoon developed his latest abilities and succeeded in creating a special butterfly.
Unlike other butterflies, it was a butterfly decorated with black and pink.
The effect is instantaneous movement that can be used even when the transformation is canceled.
Joayun called this butterfly ‘Navi-Ruchbah.’
Although it can only target the target it has designated in advance, there is a weight limit, and it is impossible to move oneself, it is quite a useful tool.
In fact, it made the archer, who had been conducting surveillance without any inconvenience until now, complain.
Tsk. The archer clicked his tongue once and immediately expanded his vision to detect the new starlight in this city. His eyes, which could see all kinds of invisible things, were even capable of seeing the flow of starlight that others could not see.
Soon, a new starlight was felt in a corner of a city about 10 blocks away. The exact location was under an overpass. In the shadow, I saw sharp and cold starlight split into several branches and spread out. A form of light like a thunderbolt. The archer immediately realized that the owner of the light was Han Jae-joong.
“Just to see it once….”
I couldn’t do it. When the archer focused his attention, he had already disappeared. All the archer could see were some traces of his presence – the body of a monster burned beyond recognition and a charred road – but he could not see Han Jae-joong himself.
“…That’s amazing.”
The archer was both impressed and puzzled by his performance.
There were only two people there. Even that was far away from the monster, so if the magic girl arrived, it could have ended without any damage.
Of course, if it is the guardian’s actions, you can answer yes, but…
It was true that I felt a little discouraged. Because it was something that other people could have done, not just him.
Is a hero really something that can be replaced? Or is it simply an accessory to society?
For the archer, it was closer to the latter. You should be called a hero if you calmly do things that no one else can do.
However, this puzzlement could be resolved quickly.
A magical girl arrived where he disappeared.
“Oh my, I’m late again… Argh! Why is it so hard to see my rival these days? In the old days, people would come and hit me every single sweat! “You’re saying you’re not interested in the magical girl you once fell in love with?”
A red-haired magical girl who arrived at the scene late screamed in pain. After feeling a lot of pain at the fact that the whole situation was over, I quickly sighed and walked towards the monster’s corpse.
“That’s enough. If you don’t want to see me as a magical girl, I’ll come and show you in person. While I was at it, I bought a bottle of alcohol and joked about it… Huh? “Kya!”
Just before she went under the overpass, the overpass collapsed, crushing her body. Fortunately, the red magic girl who did not go under it calmed her startled heart and looked around her surroundings keenly. It seemed that the overpass had become loose due to the monster’s rampage before dispatch.
“…Was it because of that? “I just cut it quickly and it splattered.”
If a magical girl had been dispatched, it would not have been possible to handle the matter so quickly. There is a possibility that the overpass may collapse during the battle. Even if she was a magical girl, there is a high possibility that she would have been injured by being crushed by the heavy weight of the overpass.
“But there is a possibility that he could fall under the overpass and get injured while checking the body…”
A confident action possible only when you know when the magic girl will arrive and when the overpass will collapse.
“Could it be possible to see the future?”
After thinking deeply for a moment, the archer laughed.
“Hey, don’t be a damn thing. Then it’s completely… Master.”
Sky Polaris.
Her magic predicts the future. Because she reads the enemy’s attack line in advance and acts accordingly, there are quite a few times where she does not receive a single wound during battle.
She is explained that if her own predictions are true, she too has similar abilities.
If not, she has prophecy abilities similar to that of the messenger.
The archer scratched his arm nervously. For some reason, Libra became even more resentful. She said at the same time that she sympathized with Libra’s actions.
If she had similar powers to either Sky Polaris or Lion, it would be understandable for Libra to be so wary.
“…I guess that’s not all.”
It is too early to assume that they are comparable to the two. Moreover, there is not enough information to judge whether she still has foresight of the future.
“Where did this friend go?”
The archer rolled his eyes again, scratching his arm, which had a lot of drug marks on it.
The eyes that had been fiercely scanning the city soon fell.
“Oh, I miss you, Master.”
She had a lot of fun when she was alive. There was a romantic time when humans were not as pessimistic as they are now, magical girls were not obedient, monsters did not care about each other, and slaughter and protection continued day and night.
“Where did you go, Suseungim?”
The archer, lost in regret and memories, lost in inertia. Once again she thinks about going down on Libra and asking for her drugs.

Red Vega has been full of complaints recently. Of course, as a genius magical girl (self-proclaimed), she does not show this dissatisfaction on the outside with her professional facial expression management skills.
Anyway.
Baek Ah-hee has many complaints.
The biggest anxiety is that there has been a slump recently.
The winning rate itself is increasing every day, but the feeling of boredom is increasing rather than satisfaction.
In the DaeAr Classic, which could be called a masterpiece, there was no performance whatsoever. However, many small monsters can be caught with a yawn.
Starlight’s growth has been stagnant for several days.
If we were to explain the current force, it was a force that was weak against strong enemies but infinitely strong against the weak, or, to put it bluntly, ‘optimized for both sides.’
‘It’s like the kind of character used as a combat power gauge in comics…!’
No. It is still too early to become obsolete. Baek Ah-hee wanted to remain a main character in the magical girl world until she reached her 30s and announced her retirement after marrying a man she loved.
Her second complaint wasn’t her problem. It’s entirely someone else’s problem.
‘I can never see Mr. Watcher face to face.’
Where did they sell the (one-sided) pledge they once made to be enemies, rivals, teachers, and friends?
When we meet after not seeing each other for a while, the joy is doubled, but that only applies when the unfortunate separation continues.
Baek Ah-hee recently felt that he was unilaterally avoiding confrontation with her.
‘Now that I can eat enough to survive, I’m very full.’
I was truly dissatisfied with that. A rival who shamelessly avoids confrontation.
Moreover, these days, he is not really playing the role of a secret enemy and helper who helps the magical girl and makes her heart pound.
‘Where has the goal of eliminating magical girls from this world gone?! It was even brighter when I stepped on my stomach…!!’
Romance is all gone.
Baek Ah-hee decided to resolve her dissatisfaction with the romantic watcher with Han Jae-joong instead. Anyway, Watcher and Han Jaejoong have nothing to do with each other, so ‘Daesin’ is correct.
Han Jaejoong really has a good taste for making fun of unsightly subjects.
When he sees his handsome face contorted in embarrassment, he can’t resist teasing him.
[The guardian…Does you like him? The one who tormented you so much?]
“Huh? Oh, that’s not true. This is pleasure from an aesthetic point of view. It’s the same pleasure as teasing a child by telling him there is no Santa or dropping white ink on black drawing paper.”
[It seems like a pleasure a magical girl shouldn’t have…]

Baek A-hee stopped walking as if she was shocked by the words of her mascot, Ribbon. After thinking deeply for a moment, she soon regained her smile.
“This is also healthy because it is like the desire to win! It is a healthy desire to stand above others!”
[Gun… Before…?]
It doesn’t seem like something she would hear from her own guardian, who has not missed a single day since she became an adult and has been looking out for her when she was a minor, but Ribbon knows that she can’t convince her anyway. Realizing this, she stopped talking.
Baek Ah-hee ran cheerfully, humming her song. Her destination is Baekho, a cafe she has been frequenting recently.
It is late at night, but since they recently started selling alcohol, the closing time is later than other places.
They would have invaded even if business was over anyway.
“Ah, anyway, I’m proud, right? Jaejoong, Deneb, I’m here! Today is rum! Now, quickly make a special glass just for me…”
“Jaejoong, stay still.”
“Seolhwa, you first stay still!”
“Senior, are you crazy?! Let go of your hands quickly!”
“…Huh?”
What Baek Ah-hee saw when she opened the door was Yoon Seol-hwa, with her face red, holding Han Jae-joong’s pants belt and pulling it, and Han Jae-joong and Joa Yoon stopping her.
“Aha.”
Baek Ah-hee quietly looked at them and closed the door.
Inside, not out.
She naturally sat down in the empty seat and placed the bottle of alcohol she had brought with her.
“Sirius, I’ll do it next time.”
“Ahee, did you get shot in the head?”
It is also a place where you can heal whenever you come.
