151 – All you need is a little money and a place to live tomorrow (13)
Odette found hope.
Blue Sirius was skilled, but above all, he had the most appropriate ability to deal with this situation.
What she is using is ice magic. Not only can it create ice in the air, it can also freeze objects. It’s perfect for catching waves that don’t know where to go.
Red Vega was a strong person, but unfortunately, his abilities did not match the current situation. The high-temperature flames she controls expand the moment they come into contact with water. The erupting steam and smoke could be compared to an explosion.
Smoke obscures vision and hot water droplets interfere with the actions of others. Unfortunately, Red Vega is not a very effective force right now.
But Blue Sirius is different. It is possible to defend against enemy attacks and attack at the same time.
“Oh, you’re here!”
“Senior!”
“Oh really, where was it~! “I was counting on you coming, damn it!!”
Other magical girls seemed to have similar thoughts and welcomed her return with exceptional enthusiasm.
“Sorry I’m late.”
When Blue Sirius heard the voices of the magical girls, he stopped running and bowed to them. It was an apology for my absence and tardiness for two days.
“That’s right, it’s too late!”
“Hey, yum! “Be careful what you say.”
“I thought you were going to die while you were away….”
Her mere two-day absence was enough to make me realize how much work she had been doing on her own.
The number of magical girls attending increased significantly during these two days. People who worked during the day had to work at night as well. Even though she shared her work with everyone, this much.
It wasn’t that difficult to guess how much of the monster extermination Blue Sirius alone had done.
Also, in the current situation, there was no substitute. A monster so powerful that there is no answer even among S-class monsters. More than half of the deployed personnel have already retired.
From immediately after dispatch until now, the only ones fighting were Red Vega and Orange Altair, who attacked from a distance.
The rest were those who arrived late and were somehow holding on, or those who did not have time to fight as they were moving the detransformed magical girl to the rear.
It was difficult to even approach the strong water, and each wave was enough to break down the magical girl’s entire defenses.
The waves were so high that flights were useless, and most of the city was submerged, so flights had to be maintained at all times. It was quite difficult to fight while maintaining flight at all times, which required heavy magical energy consumption.
In such a situation, Blue Sirius appeared like a savior. It was inevitable that everyone would cheer.
Blue Sirius smiled bitterly and accepted their welcome. Each cheer weighed on her shoulders again like a burden.
The fact that I became the hope of an unspecified number of people was truly burdensome. Even more so is the fact that among them are his colleagues.
A clear superior-subordinate relationship formed between colleagues who should be equal. This was particularly uncomfortable. All of her seniors and classmates have retired.
Blue Sirius raised his head. His helicopter hovered above his head like a satellite.
Her countless eyes looked at her, but she had only two. So she decided not to respond to all those stares, but instead focused on just two things.
Extermination and return.
A job to make money and a place to take that money back.
You need to focus only on this.
Blue Sirius slightly turned his head and looked at the frozen waves just moments ago. At the end was Orange Altair, and further behind that was a monster.
The moment Odette made eye contact with Blue Sirius, she immediately stepped back.
Immediately, a piece of ice the size of my forearm flew out. It wasn’t even a misunderstanding. The weapon was flying straight towards her face.
Odette immediately turned her head to the side to avoid the ice cube.
“…!”
“Ouch! Wow, I was surprised…”
Orange Altair, who was nearby, was also surprised. However, it was not as bad as Odette.
“….”
I couldn’t use my mouth carelessly. Odette doubted whether the gaze she had just given was really directed at her.
“…Sister.”
A cold gaze that seemed to be looking at an insect. The way he looked at this person, as if he was truly disgusted, was on a completely different level from the way he usually looked at Jo Ayun.
Eyes that convey not only hostility but also disgust and contempt.
Every time she was exposed to that, Jo Ayun’s heart always seemed to crack.
“…If you keep going, you will be suspected. “Let’s join later.”
“I’m sorry. I’ll see you later, Ayun… Ah, no, Odette!”
“How long are you going to be confused about that?”
With a little complaint, Jo Ayun disappeared. The butterfly’s ability to move allows it to escape the gaze of others in an instant.
When Odette’s appearance disappeared, Blue Sirius turned to face the front again. I didn’t have time to worry about things like that right now. The urgent priority is to defeat the monster who created this sea of water.
Even now, the waves showed no sign of stopping. The waterway shook and shook like the sea in a typhoon.
“I will definitely go back.”
After making that promise again, Blue Sirius slowly calmed his breathing.
The place where he stepped was a sheet of thin ice. A dangerous road that doesn’t seem strange even if it breaks at any time. There was enough water underneath to sink an adult woman.
Ahead is a vast waterway. The world is covered by a violent current that makes you wonder if you can even control your body. If someone who doesn’t know you sees it, it would be hard to realize that this is actually a city.
The devices that give us an idea that there was civilization here are the fragments of broken buildings and high-rise buildings that have not yet been submerged in water.
And traces of people. Clothes, pieces of cloth, photos and books whose owners are unknown are floating in the water. Pieces of torn storybooks and textbooks were also mixed in with the fragments.
The lives of countless people were washed away and left behind.
Even though life was diverse, the ending was consistent.
“Definitely…..”
Perhaps her life will one day be swept away like these and piled up in the back of history.
“I’ll go back.”
But that shouldn’t be today.
She is she, she is not for herself, but for him who waits.
Quang! Blue Sirius started running. She didn’t need to fly like other magical girls. The road was where she went. Wherever she stepped, a large patch of ice formed.
It was a thin plate that wouldn’t be surprising if it collapsed at any time, but it was enough to cross right now. Kwasik. Cracks appeared in the ice along with footprints. Kwachang! Her body crossed the water as quickly as a cannonball. At the same time, the ice she was stepping on broke.
“From now on, I will deliver this to all magical girls!”
The process was the same next time. They create ice wherever their feet touch, and use it as a stepping stone to quickly cross the waterway. The ice broke, but her feet were already creating the next ice.
“Leave only those who can fight, and let the rest help rescue!”
Just five steps were enough to reach the enemy.
“Warning! “Leave the only people left behind!”

Through the mascot, the announcement was made to the magical girls in a more overbearing tone than usual. The reason for this high-handedness was that the magic to be used from now on was dangerous even for magical girls.
Seeing Blue Sirius approaching in the blink of an eye, the monster created a wave. That wasn’t all. Blades of water shot out on both sides, and waves rose behind her as well.
It’s literally a disaster. Blue Sirius was not embarrassed and swung his rapier sideways. The sword stole and scattered a few drops of water from the approaching tsunami.
Water droplets splashed in all directions, as if a very localized tornado had struck. The appearance had the elegance of a dancer dancing on ice.
Her silky hair fluttered through the air once and stopped in place, and her stream of water no longer rushed towards her.
“…Does that make sense?”
Orange Altair, who was watching the scene from afar, muttered in bewilderment. What she saw was no longer a chaos of waves and streams.
There were only icebergs that could be seen far away in the polar regions.
The tsunami and the water stream that the water droplets touched all froze.
The three swords wrapped in extremely cold temperatures contained their own chill in their water droplets and swung them in all directions. The cold compressed to the limit was able to create ice the size of a mountain peak just by touching it.
Blue Sirius was not satisfied with this and stamped his foot. Quagang! A huge chunk of ice, like a battering ram, stretched out from beneath his feet and shattered the hardened tsunami right in front of him.
Kugugu Goong! The iceberg collapsed with a magnificent shaking. Blue Sirius came running out of the gap where heavy chunks of ice were falling.
The end of the three swords reached was a monster wrapped in starlight, who had created this disaster.
She accepted.
She believes that she and her colleagues are not equal.
She must continue to be a hero.
Years are years, but the difference is in the amount of starlight. From the magic output to the duration, there is an overwhelming difference.
Even though Red Vega’s recent growth rate is extraordinary, there is still a gap. A representative example is the last bombing incident. Blue Sirius formed an ice wall to protect the entire city from bombardment. Even just comparing his simple output, Blue Sirius had the edge.
Of course, there is room for consideration in that her abilities are more useful for defense than Red Vega and there is a difference in the firepower of the bombardment she received.
However, even if you think of it as an attack, Blue Sirius never lags behind Red Vega’s firepower.
He cannot retire yet. She had to keep putting off her retirement until someone surpassed her.
I still had to keep this power.
The reason is more than revenge.
The moment she disappears, it will be the helpless citizens who will tremble in fear.
And one of those citizens is someone he wants to protect.
The rapier touched the monster’s neck and his whole body froze with starlight.
“Now!”
Odette arrived nearby just as his body froze. At the same time, I was shocked. This was because it was so cold that even the blood froze.
But now is not the time to panic about this level of pain.
As soon as he saw Odette appear, Orange Altair shot an arrow tied with a butterfly into the sky. A shot full of her power.
In an instant, the arrow pierced the clouds in the sky and rose high enough to be invisible to the eye. Soon, the arrow seemed to have reached the atmosphere, and heat became visible next to it.
At the same time, Odette threw the butterfly towards the frozen monster. Just like I did before, I was planning on throwing this monster into space.
All the water around it froze. There was nothing to stop the butterfly from flying.
“Okay….”
Just before Jo Ayun burst into cheers.
Kugugugugugung! A strong vibration was felt below, and a stream of water began to gush out like a spring. Soon all the frozen water began to melt. The butterfly was overcome by the water and her flight failed.
Jo Ayun was thrilled. It was not simply because the operation failed. When the water droplets that had just melted touched her body, they were not cold.
Because it was very, very hot.
“…No way, this guy.”
Quagaga River! The rising stream of water continued to rise into the sky and began to rain on the ground. It was a very hot, high-temperature rain.
Chi-ik! As the water droplets hit her arm, she could even hear the sound of metal melting slightly.
“Control the temperature of the water…!”
Quwaaa! Soon there was another tsunami. It was not in one place, but multiple times at the same time. There was a tsunami that occurred right in front of Blue Sirius, Red Vega and other magical girls who were observing the fight from behind, and even Orange Altair, who was exhausted after successfully sniping into the stratosphere from atop a building.
It was a personal tsunami that would crush everyone present.
“What can you say…!”
Odette’s complaints could not continue as she was swept away by the tsunami.

Libra looked at the scene and smiled in satisfaction.
“A pseudo-nova activated by consuming not only individual stars but also life spans….”
He would die after using it once, but it wasn’t his part-time job.
“That’s pretty great.”
It was a satisfactory result.
“Then what about the other side…?”
How much power does a pseudo-divinity activated in the body of an ordinary person have? I was very curious.
Libra changed the channel and looked at the view of a hotel room.
