125 – Romantic Death Case (5)
If you decide, execute it immediately.
There is no need for elaborate strategies.
Just press down with force.
The archer pulled the string without any hesitation.
“…Where should I shoot?”
However, due to lack of planning and not knowing where to shoot, the tip of the archer’s arrow idly swam in the air, unlike the ambitious demonstration.
“Home? Or where he is now? Or that cafe? Oh, it would be okay to simply attack people. If you really have foresight of the future, you can shoot anywhere and they will come… hehehehe, having too many candidates is also a disadvantage. .”
Where should I shoot now to cause the most damage?
His residence, base, and abode. Or street. What should I attack? The archer, who was thinking deeply, grinned and placed three arrows on his bow.
“Hey, what’s there to worry about? Then we can just shoot them all!”
A skill that would normally be impossible. However, the archer was confident that he would succeed in the art.
“It feels so good! “I’ll also shoot those women who talked to you before!”
Ara, Baek A-hee, Yoon Seol-hwa. Three people who hung out with him. Since I’ve already been shooting a lot, it would be nice to shoot more.
Just as the more fireworks there are, the more spectacular they are, so are bombings.
The archer added three more arrows and laughed until the sky went away.
“Am I a genius?! You might be a genius! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The lumpy blood vessels on my arm, which had been rough with drug marks, bulged with force. His muscles, which swelled violently like a volcano about to explode, pulled the taut strings as if they were going to tear them apart. The protest, which had been reduced to its limit, was already as sharp as a blade.
As he was about to fire six arrows at the same time, he felt a presence behind him. It feels too artificial to be dismissed as wind or something.
“Who are you?”
The archer turned around vigorously and pointed the tip of his arrow toward the sky at the owner of the sight.
“hahahaha, that’s scary. “Can you clean it up for me?”
“What… Was it you? “Let’s talk at least.”
“I wanted to surprise you.”
Fortunately, the opponent was someone Archer knew well. He grumbled a little and lowered his bow. He was wearing a hood that made it difficult to recognize his face, but it wasn’t that difficult to guess his identity.
“Then what if you get hurt? “Botis.”
The name of the person who approached us was Botis. A monster from the constellation Bodhisattva. She is a magical girl who previously used the Star of Arcturus.
“Hello, it’s been a while.”
“Okay, it’s been a while. That unpleasant kindness is still the same, damn it. What’s happening all of a sudden? “No contact.”
“Such greetings are only shared between people who have the means to communicate. “I’m not like you, who moves from place to place all the time and can’t even send letters.”
“Damn it.”
The archer sarcastically said.
Botis was smiling warmly in the shadow of the hood, but there was no way to know what was lurking behind that smile.
You can’t contact me because you moved? That’s ridiculous.
“Then how did you find my place now?”
The wind blew. The moss on top of the building swayed slightly with the wind.
“My children are very kind. Even if I don’t ask, he tells me many things. For example, your place…”
“It’s a shame not to ask.”
The archer clicked his tongue while speaking. Botis continued speaking regardless.
“…I guess you’ve been interested lately.”
“b*tch in a bad mood.”
“You’re not in a position to say anything to me, are you?”
Unlike the archer’s words, which gradually showed signs of displeasure, Botis was infinitely relaxed and benevolent.
“I think it would be better to talk less to yourself from now on. “It’s inevitable that lonely people will develop the habit of talking to themselves often… but isn’t it possible to overhear something like this?”
“Who is it? Libra? Or those little guys?”
“All children are equally important to me.”
Answer in alumni book answer format. However, the meaning of the words was simple and did not need to be interpreted.
It doesn’t matter who did it, and they won’t tell you.
“Of course you are one of them.”
“f*ck that bullsh*t! “What are you looking for me for?”
From noble mtl dot com
“I told you earlier. The person you are interested in these days. Yeah, I’m kind of interested too. But that kid hates me. hehehe… My rebellion was so severe that I even had my horn cut off? “It still hasn’t healed.”
The archer didn’t show it, but he was very surprised.
He knows her fighting style well.
Goldilocks zone where you can forcefully move any enemy. In addition, her power is so great that most monsters cannot even pick off her bones.
‘You hit that b*tch? ‘That pseudo-monster human?’
I wanted to take off the hood right away and see if that was true, but I held back. At this moment, a desire greater than the desire to see the wound hidden under the hood arose.
Han Jaejoong, what is it that makes so many monsters obsessed with just one person?
“That’s right. “While we’re fighting, could you please convey my words to that child?”
“hehehe, okay. Looks like you’re a scary guy too. “Are you scared that you’ll be beaten like a dog again?”
“Oh my goodness. The problem is that the child doesn’t listen to what I say. Anyway, did you agree?”
The interest that had cooled was revived. You never know. Wouldn’t he be able to bring back the era of romance? Even a little anticipation rose.
“It’s nothing special….”
However, the expectations that had been rising were cooled by Botis’s subsequent words.
**
“Ah.”
Patter. Nothing happened, but blood flowed from his nose. I immediately pulled out a tissue and held my nose. I’ve been having frequent nosebleeds lately.
[Bow your head down and wait until the bleeding stops. Carelessly inserting foreign substances into the nose may cause infection or further injury.]
“I know.”
The belt immediately told me what to do and I answered in a deaf voice.
“What? Did you think of something dirty? Ah, I was having a strange delusion while holding my senior’s body! “I know everything~”
“No? Will your nose bleed from watching something pornographic? And that’s s*xual harassment.”
For no reason, when Ayun sarcastically irritated me, I also responded irritably.
I’m still sensitive, but it scratches my insides.
Ayun seemed to feel a little sorry for me when I answered sharply, so she asked more worriedly.
“…Have I been asking you to do too much work lately? “Are you overworked?”
“That’s not true.”
It is true. Less than two weeks have passed since the official opening. In addition, business hours are quite flexible, so although the opening time is the same, the closing time is different each time. The only time I stayed up late was when magical girls came in and started drinking. Others close around 8 o’clock.
In addition, the intensity of my daily work is too leisurely to the point of becoming drowsy, so I cannot be overworked.
Nevertheless, my body was extremely tired.
It feels like it’s overloaded.
This tendency became even more severe after discovering the power of Ursa Major.
“It’s just that… I’m tired due to personal circumstances.”
“Do you see anything strange at night?”
“There is no Wi-Fi in our house, Ayuna. “It seems like you’re becoming more and more influenced by Ahee these days.”
Thankfully, Haru lends me his Wi-Fi, but I’m sorry I can’t use it often. To begin with, the Internet is still so bad that I don’t even want to use it.
“Well, it’s not like that?! Not on his level! Just… I read in a recent book that moderate s*x between a man and a woman has a relaxing effect…”
“That also varies from person to person. I just feel uncomfortable. Furthermore.”
I smiled and sat down next to Ayun. The nosebleed stopped quickly, but I don’t know when it will start bleeding again.
“I’m already comfortable with you.”
“Really?”
“Then wouldn’t it be comfortable? Even if we’re alone together like this, even if we don’t say anything, I don’t feel uncomfortable at all. “If it was uncomfortable to begin with, would I want to work with you?”
“Isn’t that right?! Then….”
Ah Yuni was naturally held in my arms and rested her head.
“Today is my day off, so let’s stay home and watch a movie and lounge around! Huh?”
“…If possible.”
“Oh, is it because of that quest again? That f*cking ball… just ignore it!”
“I wish I could do that….”
The price for not complying with the quest is death. Although quests that can be refused sometimes appear, basically, they are only mandatory quests that cannot be refused.
Ayun doesn’t understand me like that. Of course. She says the quest system doesn’t exist for her.
Is it because her sense of purpose is lighter than mine and her target is broader, or is it because she made the contract not in exchange for death but in exchange for simple healing of her injuries, or is she just special…..
No, actually, I might be a special case.
From what I’ve seen so far, all of the people related to the belt are magical girls.
A legendary magical girl, two former magical girls, and even Ayuni, who signed a contract because she was suited for it.
I think the original purpose of the belt was for magical girls, or those who were magical girls. It’s just a guess, but it feels strangely certain.
“Oh, come to think of it, Ayun. “Don’t you get tired or something when you transform?”
“Uh, nothing in particular…? Why all of a sudden?”
“No, I’m just… worried.”
In fact, there was something to be said about this overload of the body. It’s none other than starlight.
The human body cannot handle unrefined starlight. That’s probably why starlight drug addicts are all doing such terrible things.
In the case of magical girls, this starlight can be refined and used as a resource called magical power. Therefore, they are able to eliminate all of Starlight’s unique side effects and only benefit from it.
The reason why Ayun had no side effects was probably the same. Her transformed form is that of a monster, and the light she uses is similar to that of a magical girl.
Bright, colorful and sunny, beautiful and soft starlight in pastel colors.
We will use starlight refined to be infinitely close to magical power.
In contrast, the starlight I use is completely identical to the starlight of monsters, which is rough and dark in color. There is no need to turn too far. It’s just the monster’s starlight.
It was less so during the time of the Big Dipper, but now that Ursa Major has been revealed and there are more stars, it is a bit of a burden. So I’m trying to finish the work as quickly as possible.
Of course, I feel uncomfortable meeting magical girls, and I especially don’t want to meet Orange Altair and Blue Sirius.
Anyway, Ursa Major is as powerful as it is burdensome. A cold thunderbolt that can use both scorching heat and cold, a movement speed comparable to this thunderbolt, and even a short prediction of the future.
The load on the body is severe as there are three abilities that can be dangerous even if only one is present. It is a power that is not worth bringing out except against strong enemies.
Day by day, the amount of fatigue in the body increases. As interest accumulates, fatigue gradually increases. Still, I was glad. Fatigue can be resolved if you just endure it a little.
‘…But is this really fatigue?’
Even if you feel doubtful, there is nothing you can do about it. Even if you go to the hospital, they won’t know the symptoms and will repeat the same thing over and over again, and the belt won’t answer either.
I sighed and worried about the future. What should I do? I haven’t accomplished anything yet.
Ayun responded to this sigh. She moved away from her shoulder for a moment and looked at my complexion.
“…Oppa, take a break from work.”
Now I know that what Yuni is talking about is not related to her cafe. I looked away for a moment and looked at the iron ball. My belt that Ayun won’t be able to see. I smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“Because I’m not the only one who’s tired right now.”
I heard continuously yesterday and today that I am tired. If I do well, I’ll probably be able to hear it tomorrow too.
Both newcomers and veterans alike are tired of this hopeless world. There is no end to the monsters, the expectation that life will one day improve has faded, and the hero has become too close to people, and people are both enthusiastic and jealous of the hero who has become closer.
People live only for today rather than looking at tomorrow, and optimism is treated as nonsense and pessimism as orthodoxy.
There is definitely no romance.
How can a hero spread his wings in a world like this?
Suddenly, I thought about what I heard from Ahee yesterday.
‘This is how to create a world without magical girls….’
It’s also good for heroes to be able to spread their wings. But I want a world where the heroes who spread their wings can land comfortably and no one has to take to the sky again.
I gained the strength to achieve this. I succeeded in gathering all the fragmented power.
The problem is how to execute it.
Is it okay to simply perform the quest? How long can this practice continue in the first place?
As I was thinking about that, I heard a sound coming from the belt.
[Quest occurs.]
“Ah.”
The timing is also interesting. As if Ayun guessed something, she held my arm even tighter and wouldn’t let me go.
“Ayoon, that’s me….”
“Then I will go with you.”
“….”
“I know I know. No matter how much I say, my brother won’t listen to me. My brother’s dream is more important than my words. The reason I got this power in the first place is because of you. Take responsibility. “Give me the right to protect my brother’s dream.”
“…I understand.”
“Ahh! “You gave permission?”
Ah Yuni, smiling brightly, leaned her head on her shoulder again. I stroked her head and continued to listen to the details of her quest.
[There is an attack on the magical girl headquarters. Guardians go to the location and protect Blue Sirius. However, even if you do not help, no one will die.]
Where, what, who? I couldn’t believe my ears.
[Do you want to accept?]
It’s not some kind of dilemma. I swallowed a laugh.
[There is no price for non-compliance.]
**
Yun Seol-hwa’s steps were infinitely light and lively. Passers-by around her who knew of her Yun Seol-hwa looked at her with puzzled faces, but Yun Seol-hwa had no interest in their curious looks.
‘Po, hug! I got a hug! Hugs, I did it! Wow, wow!! Hug! Jaejoong’s hug!’
How about being selfish and how about being self-satisfied? He gave me a hug. Fresh and alive like a machine with her fuel recharged and all her joints oiled, she entered the Magical Girl Headquarters with her happy smile on her face.
An unmanned robot in the lobby welcomed her. She greeted the robot with a strong voice.
“The unicorn is here~ Now, let’s quickly discuss yesterday’s matter…”
At that time, a loud alarm sounded throughout the building.
[An unidentified flying object is currently approaching! Warning! Warning!]
“Huh? As soon as we arrive?!”
My motivation, which had reached its limit, was slightly dampened by the sudden order to dispatch.
[Collision expected in 1 minute! Ah, the current object confirmation was successful! I will print it out through the building monitor!]
Yun Seol-hwa moved her gaze to the monitors hanging from the ceiling of the building, following the voice coming from her speaker. The screen showed a blue sky and a fast-moving dot.
The screen magnified the dot, and everyone at headquarters was shocked.
“A monster flying on an arrow…?”
A monster was flying towards us riding an arrow like a skateboard.
“…Are you stupid?”
That was certain.
