155 – All you need is a little money and a place to live tomorrow (16)
It’s an obvious story.
Work cannot be solved with motivation alone. Appropriate abilities are needed.
“No.”
Blue Sirius knows.
He realizes that he is only superior to other colleagues, but not absolutely superior.
Is it possible to go one-on-one with an S-class monster? I don’t understand what’s so great about that. What are you praising? Now the S-class monster has begun its activities in earnest. He doesn’t always guarantee that the enemy will come alone.
In the midst of this, is it an advantage to be able to work one-on-one? When Blue Sirius heard that such words were used against him, his first thought was who he was kidding.
“No….”
Blue Sirius was accepted a long time ago. He knew his shortcomings.
I was weak. He was always weak. He had never had the upper hand over a monster even for a moment in his life.
No matter how strong you become, someone higher than you will emerge. The speed of powerful enemies appearing was faster than the growth speed.
Her eyes filled with water. It was all water. When she was there, her eyes and vision were filled with water. What was often said to be the source of life was now taking the most lives.
“Stop, stop. Please….”
No matter how much water was frozen, the advance did not stop. It was not easy to turn heated water like a hot spring into ice, and even if it was frozen, it melted quickly. Even the water near the monster was as hot as lava.
A huge ice wall was created in front of him. However, the monster quickly erased the wall with a wave of lava and moved forward.
Red Vega also tried to get closer and attack, but it was not enough. He couldn’t even get close in the first place. Even if you try to approach, you’ll just get swept away by the water. The monster’s reaction speed is getting faster.
The butterfly sent by the monster named Odette was also swept away by the waves and could not do its job properly and sank in the water. The compatibility is not very good. Even if you try to move the water somewhere, it will only cause flooding in other places, and it is impossible to move this large amount of water at once.
Despite the three’s struggles, the monster’s advance did not stop.
He was unconscious. He had neither will nor passion. It’s just running rampant according to Libra’s purpose.
It was literally firewood. Firewood that burns the body and soul and lights up the starlight. The more I used my abilities, the more my body broke down and recovered again.
The third November had a secret sense of inferiority because he could not use his abilities without water.
At the end of his life, he shined most brightly.
Blue Sirius looked at the light and, on the contrary, lost its light. Due to the influence of excessive use of magic, magical power slowly decreased. Of course, he still has enough magical power left to move. However, the magic power was enough to allow only her to survive.
“No…”
Her life was a repetition of failure.
When she thought she was successful, time passed and she ended up becoming a failure.
Funny enough, until now, we have continued to succeed despite our failures.
Today was no different.
He was imprisoned to protect his loved ones. It didn’t matter if people criticized me because it was crazy. Because I’ve been so crazy that I had to do that crazy thing.
How many times has Jaejoong been attacked by monsters? I don’t know. I couldn’t count them. When I tried to be a little happy, a monster came and disturbed me. Even though he had no particular illness, he had to be hospitalized quite a few times because of it.
If the hospital had mileage or status like a shopping mall, I would definitely have been a VIP.
Han Jae-joong was caught up in the commotion of the monster so many times that he made jokes like this. Even when she was a magical girl and when she wasn’t.
The number of attacks may increase today. And with this attack, you may never be harmed by a monster again.
The monster approached the river.
The moment that river sweeps the world, he too will disappear into the distance along with it. Just as a stone is swept into a stream, broken into pieces and piled up downstream, his body will also be broken into pieces and turned into dirt.
A luxurious tower hotel near the river. A secret room that only those who exist deep below can enter. Han Jaejoong is there. He locked himself there.
There is no one to blame. It’s entirely my fault. The cause was my immorality and inadequacy.
Han Jaejoong could die today. After this attack, you may be able to enjoy eternal rest.
His life will come to an end before the writing is even finished.
‘…Because of me.’
Death.
This is an eerie word no matter when I think of it.
She was seven when she first realized death.
It was when Jaejoong Han’s parents, my parents’ friend and the friend’s parents, passed away.
I heard it was quite a disaster. As for Leo, a famous monster accidentally appeared on the road and swept across the road. I heard that news.
It was the first time I felt solemnity. There was solemnity everywhere, wherever my breath touched and my eyes touched. I was out of breath. I hate the smell of hospitals, but I hate the smell of this place even more.
Even though it was quite a while ago, Yun Seol-hwa still could not forget the smell of her scent there. She remembered the sound of grown adults wailing like children receiving injections at the hospital, and the way her mouth tightened like no other.
What I remembered most vividly was the back of the boy who stood firm and did not cry alone even when all the adults were crying.
It was Jaejoong, a friend who became an orphan overnight. Was it because I didn’t cry alone when everyone was crying? I remember his every move.
-It’s okay.
The voice that answered worried adults with dry lips, and the face that twisted those dry lips into a smile when our eyes met.
I was scared. Because everyone else was crying, but I didn’t cry alone and laughed. The bleak eyes, the pale skin that was just as pale as his own, the bandages and bandages left here and there, and the faint traces of blood beyond them. Everyone was scared.
I also remembered the sounds of adults whispering behind me.
-Luckily, the death benefit has not yet been abolished…
– Coincidentally, now that the abolition of insurance for the death of monsters is approaching… In a way, I was lucky.
-Then you were lucky. Lucky. Moreover, since you are a bereaved family of a national disaster, you may receive other consolation payments…
Every time those words came out, Jaejoong twitched his eyebrows slightly. Then she made a more dignified expression and straightened her posture.
He felt as if he was proving that he was not shaken at all.
If I think about it now, I think it was probably an expression of will. I am proud like this. You can live well even without the money you earned. Such will.
-But how does a child shed a single tear? I’m really scared.
-That’s right. My parents died… Is it because I don’t have affection or is I being mature…?
When Yun Seol-hwa heard the whispers, she burst into tears. He suddenly looked scared because he didn’t cry even though everyone around him was crying. She completely believed him when he said that he had no affection. She cried so loudly that her parents had a hard time comforting her, even though the whispering behind her stopped.
Why did I do that? Even thinking about it now, it’s a memory that makes me feel ashamed.
-Starting today, you will be staying at my house for a while.
And a few days later, his parents brought him home. Yun Seol-hwa looked at him…..
-What? I hate it!!!!
I cried loudly again.
-Why, why are you like this, Seolhwa, you can’t use that on your friends!
-I hate it, I hate it! Scared! It’s scary! aaa!!
-This guy….
My parents were quite embarrassed. You must have been embarrassed that you had been getting along well for a long time and now that you suddenly say you don’t like it. I remember paying close attention to Han Jaejoong. When I think about it now, it’s not just shameful, it makes me want to die.
If I could go back in time and see myself back then, I would have fed his head with honey.
After the funeral, Yoon Seol-hwa was afraid of Han Jae-joong.
It was because I felt death through the funeral. Yun Seol-hwa, who had been weak since childhood, often visited the hospital. And sometimes the doctors would tell him to prepare his mind, or the nurse would pray for him not to die.
Yun Seol-hwa now knows what death is. He knew that he too could die if he were not careful. He could be the main character of the funeral he saw that day.
At that time, I became scared when I thought that Han Jaejoong would not be sad when he saw me. I’m afraid my death won’t be worth even a single tear. I’m afraid he won’t remember even in death. I’m afraid that the memories of playing together will become nothing.
So, Yun Seol-hwa was afraid of Han Jae-joong. There is no affection. That whisper remained deep in my mind.
The reason she opened her heart to Han Jaejoong was a few months later, when her health deteriorated rapidly and she was hospitalized.
-Mom… Am I… Going to die too…?
Now that Yun Seol-hwa learned of her death, she became even more scared and said, Her parents were appalled and assured her that it was okay, but she didn’t believe them. She was anxious. She was so afraid that she would disappear from this world.
Her nerves became so sensitive that she became easily irritated by anything. Is that why Seolhwa Yoon is like that? She got annoyed with Han Jaejoong.
I don’t really remember what I said. Did I mention her parents, did she get annoyed at me for not saying anything, did she say she wouldn’t cry even if I died, or did she say she was scared? I do not know. In any case, it was clear that she really wanted to beat him to death.
If Yun Seol-hwa could turn back time and go back to that time, he would have strangled her instead of feeding her honey chestnuts.
Han Jae-joong quietly opened his mouth to Yun Seol-hwa, who poured out her verbal abuse.
-I’m going to cry.
It was a calm tone, but her voice was shaking a little, as if her shock had not subsided.
-I will be sad and reminisce. I will cry every time I come to the hospital. When you eat, if your favorite side dish is served, you will cry. I will cry when I see girls playing, and I will cry when I lie down in bed and when I fall asleep. I will cry while walking. I’m going to cry a lot.
Han Jaejoong spoke casually.
-If you die too, I will pour out all the tears I have held back until now. I’m going to die from tears too.
Tears slowly fell on the back of her hand.
-So, don’t die.
Han Jaejoong declared that.
After that, Yun Seol-hwa stopped being afraid of Han Jae-joong. Fortunately, my body quickly recovered and I was able to continue my daily life. Han Jae-joong smiled a lot, and Yoon Seol-hwa also laughed together with him.
I thought as I looked at him. Will I cry if Jaejoong dies? You will cry a lot. But will I cry to the point of death? I’m not sure about that.
Even when I was young, I thought something was unfair.
If I die, Jaejoong dies too, but if Jaejoong dies, it’s strange that I don’t die.
That person entrusted his life to me, but it’s strange that I don’t entrust my life to that person.
So.
‘If Jaejoong dies, I die too.’
A pure and violent determination that was possible because she was a child. A foolish phrase that can only be said without knowing what it is, and is similar to saying that you love the sky and the earth. It was nothing more than an expression of greatness by attaching an unfathomable object together.
But suddenly, that promise became more realistic.
One day, while Yun Seol-hwa and Han Jae-joong were returning home together, they were attacked by a monster.
Han Jae-joong used himself as bait to make Yoon Seol-hwa run away. If a passing magical girl hadn’t saved him, he would have died.
He put his words into practice. If you die, I die too, so you live. Echoing his words from his hospital, he gave his life.
Yun Seol-hwa made a new promise after that.
‘Because you gave your life to me.’
I, too, will dedicate my life to you.
This pledge remains valid even now, more than ten years later.
Just as you sacrificed your life to save me, I will do the same.
“Sister, be careful!”
As I was thinking about the past, I felt like I was getting closer to a monster. In the starlight, my eyes filled with the terrible sight of a monster with his body half torn apart.
The monster waved his hand. The waves swayed accordingly. It was a very big wave and a very hot wave. A current that would seriously injure even a magical girl.
You can turn it into ice by moving it just a little, but Yun Seol-hwa didn’t bother to do that. She took in the waves.
[Guardian!!!]
The mascot was heard shouting and then disappeared.
I feel my body being swept away and drifting away. Okay. This is an appropriate punishment. There is no use living now. It would be better for him to die than to be unable to save him.
I can feel my flesh slowly ripening. In the midst of that agony, Seolhwa Yun fell into doubt. Her breath disappeared, her body sank, and instead her question came to mind.
‘Is this really punishment?’
No, that can’t be possible. Death cannot repay. The crime that put him in danger could only lead to death.
‘Is this what all your effort went into?’
No. This is nothing more than giving up halfway through fear of the approaching ending. In other words, it is escape. Flight to death.
If I die like this and go to the other world, will I be able to see Jaejoong’s parents? Will I be able to raise my head proudly towards my parents who have already passed away?
No. No. Do not do that.
Not yet.
I haven’t done everything yet. The body can still move. There is still hope in my heart. I shouldn’t fall here.
Because I…
From noble mtl dot com
‘Because he called me a star!’
Because he promised to come back, because he called me a hero.
If you listened, you should repay the favor. I have to pay for this sin-filled life.
Don’t fall down yet. You must not fall away. You must not lose.
I must be a star. Since he called me that, it had to be that way.
If you have committed to dedicating your life to him, you must repay his expectations.
Because that is respect, and that is the way I love.
Blue Sirius’ heart burned. Starlight mixed frantically in his blood.
The power of a magical girl is love and peace.
Only with love, the stars became bright enough to explode.
Divinity.
