167 – Face to Face
News was also delivered to Baek A-hee, who arrived at the headquarters after being kicked out of Baekho.
“A Japanese magical girl is coming?!”
She was equally surprised, but she was strangely different. If others were surprised by her sense of bewilderment, there was a strange excitement in her voice.
“…Are you excited?”
It wasn’t a sarcastic question, it was a sincere question. In Ara’s eyes, Baek Ahee looked so excited.
“Of course!”
That was exactly what I saw.
“Japanese magical girls are famous! The first magical girl came from Korea, but it was Japan that later blossomed the magical girl culture and produced numerous magical girls! Is it because they are the first country to create magical girls in fiction? The level of combat is high, and everyone is cute! Also….”
“The shadow culture is also developed.”
Ara answered indifferently.
Japanese magical girls are definitely developed. The country with the largest number of magical girls in the world. However, the overall level is also high. It’s not such a good story.
The greater the number of magical girls, the greater the number of monsters. The higher the level of magical girls, the greater the strength of the monsters.
As the underlying power is love and peace, the stronger the enemy, the stronger the magical girl awakens. Only then can the preservation of peace become possible.
‘Well, even in this mess, my growth is a bit slow…’
Orange Altair, Ara smiled bitterly.
‘But, it doesn’t matter. The sniping ability is rare even among magical girls, so it’s bound to come in handy anywhere… Well, the ability isn’t that bad, is it?’
Ultra long-distance sniping up to the sun. As long as you have enough preparation time, sniping is possible at any distance. This was definitely a long shot.
“Ugh, don’t talk about shady culture! “Indecent!”
“I’m not Mija anymore, but don’t you know everything? “Our Baek A-hee.”
“In terms of sound, it’s the same everywhere in the world! “I, just myself, have heard a lot of strange things, regardless of whether it’s Mija or not…”
“The Japanese side is particularly harsh.”
Country with the most magical girls.
At the same time, the country where the largest number of magical girls retire.
That is Japan.
“Because a retired magical girl is directly involved in the conspiracy.”
Also, the retirement period is quite early. They say that fast people quit after less than a month.
“Isn’t there even a joke that three people with the same color are produced every year?”
There are no identical colors for magical girls within a country. The moment a color is assigned, that color is fixed on one person until retirement.
In other words, if there are three magical girls of the same color in one year, it means that two magical girls retired before they lasted a year and someone took over that color.
“Well, that is….”
“It’s famous….”
Yun Seol-hwa also nodded and expressed sympathy.
The number of retiring magical girls means that the proportion of young women with a history of being ‘former magical girls’ is increasing.
Of course, in most cases, they change jobs to jobs where they can utilize their careers, such as celebrities or fashion, or to healthy industries such as construction companies, or they return to their studies steadily.
However, sometimes it falls into a bad direction.
“It’s the perfect job to ruin your mental state. “It’s easy to get involved with a monster cartel… It’s inevitable that you’ll end up in an illegal place.”
“Anyway, it’s really strange there, right? Here, s*xual harassment is just meant to be a personal attack, but over there, it is done sincerely. They even ask such questions at official occasions….”
“It’s really better here. Rather. They compare each other all the time and share rankings. In private, they are even more strict, so even in this day and age, if you are only in a relationship…”
Other magical girls also actively participated. The last words were stopped because of what Yun Seol-hwa noticed. There were definitely many advantages here compared to Japan.
Especially private life. Even in this day and age, dating causes many controversies, but at least it is not at the level it was seven years ago.
“It’s a surprise.”
“Everyone is so great! “Japan isn’t that bad!”
“Even though you were exiled, you still have a lot of love for your hometown.”
“I am studying abroad, not exile! I’ll be back someday! “This is all racial discrimination and prejudice!!”
She actively protested for a day, but was unable to provide any concrete rebuttal. She bit her lip in exasperation.
“Well, there is Silver Luna in Japan!”
At that moment, Baek A-hee supported Haru.
“Actively active since I was 12! #1 In Magical Girl Popularity Poll for 5 consecutive years! The first genius magical girl in this generation to awaken to divinity! “That ability…”
“Are you really excited?”
“Of course!”
Baek Ah-hee’s eyes sparkled.
Silver Luna.
As its name suggests, it is a silver moon.
Moonlight reflects the sun’s light as well. Starlight is the same thing.
In theory, moonlight can also become starlight.
At a time when such false rumors were going around, a girl with real moonlight was born in Japan.
That is Silver Luna. A girl with a special glow that sets her apart from other magical girls.
“Ah, Ah-hee! “I’m not saying things like that here.”
The other magical girls began to keep an eye on Yun Seol-hwa.
Blue Sirius and Silver Luna. This is because these two are often mentioned as the strongest magical girls, transcending national boundaries.
Silver Luna debuted earlier, but they are the same age.
Because Blue Sirius’ growth rate was so overwhelming, the two were evaluated as having similar skills until Silver Luna awakened to divinity.
After Silver Luna awakened her divinity, it seemed like she was confirmed to be the strongest, but recently Blue Sirius also awakened her divinity.
Who is the strongest at this time?
Now, no one really knows.
So many words are being exchanged behind the scenes. Recently, the conflict has been re-ignited due to Blue Sirius’s divine awakening, leading to quite a radical debate.
‘Hmm… are you going to get busy again? I guess I won’t be able to see Jaejoong’s face often….’
But Blue Sirius, the person in question, didn’t think much of it. He didn’t have much of a connection with Silver Luna, and he stayed away from all types of media, so he didn’t know about the controversy in the first place.
More than anything, I am not interested in being the strongest. If you want it, take it. What good does having something like that help you?
I’ve already made enough money, and receiving attention feels like a burden.
‘Scorpion… One of the beasts of the galaxy. ‘Can I win with the person I am now?’
Rather than competing with someone, living right now comes first. I have to return alive. Certainly.
However, the Scorpio monster is quite a powerful enemy. To the extent that it feels like an understatement to call him a strong enemy, he is of a different class from the enemies he has fought so far.
I have experienced the galactic beast once before.
Lion.
A huge beast with a mane filled with the light of the galaxy.
Just being there turns the entire area into a sea of fire. The ground shakes just with the breath of one’s nose, and it is difficult to even scratch the hard leather. From its mouth it spews hellfire that burns all kinds of things. Even that wasn’t the power.
Scorpions are treated on the same level as those.
Can we win? Even if you awaken to divinity, will you reach the galaxy? Suddenly, I felt skeptical.
‘No. ‘This is something that has to be done.’
Because only then can we return alive. Because I will be able to see his face again.
Yun Seol-hwa made up her mind.
“Oh, that’s right! So this means you can receive the actual Silver Luna? “It’s a joint operation!”
“No matter what, shouldn’t he protect his country?”
Ara was skeptical.
Japan is not an idle town either. There are similar or more S-class monsters distributed in Korea.
Should we send Silver Luna, who is considered the most important military power, to a foreign country?
“Is that so….”
“Oh my, what are you saying?”
No sooner had Baek Ah-hee slumped her shoulders in disappointment than an unfamiliar voice came from behind her.
This feeling is familiar.
That feeling when you hear the voice of a monster, not a person.
The sense of spreading one’s opinion directly through sound rather than through language. It was close to telepathy implemented through voice.
This is the reason why monsters can communicate anywhere in the world. This is because they communicate by conveying their thoughts directly into the air through starlight. So there is no need for language. You will understand the moment you reach it.
Baek Ah-hee instinctively held his mascot in his hand and turned around. He is ready to transform at any time.
But when I turned around, what I saw was an unexpected face.
“Hello, everyone. “A princess came to visit me from a faraway land.”
A line that only a sane person can say. A tone of voice that implicitly exudes arrogance.
Her shiny silver hair is tied into twin tails, and her blue eyes are like the moon reflected in a lake.
Her short-sleeved blouse and miniskirt clearly show off her long arms and legs, with a large ribbon and jewels embedded in the middle.
It had an elegant atmosphere overall. She also has the innocence of a girl.
The appearance of a girl with magical illusions.
“Oh, ah, ah, ah….”
“Why are you doing that? Is your voice shaking? Oh, is it because I’m so pretty?”
“Wow! Real!!!”
Silver Luna. She came here herself.
Baek A-hee fainted.
“…It’s been a while.”
Her day was the opposite of Baek Ahee’s, and she greeted her calmly.
**
“Uh um. Therefore. “A cactus head named Contradiction came here with a scorpion, and that scorpion took away her brother with 30 days left to live?”
“Yes.”
“And the cactus head also started a game in which the person who risked his or her lifespan monopolizes the lifespan?”
“Yes.”
“No sh*t….”
Joa Yoon hugged his face in frustration.
“Wouldn’t it be beneficial to your personal image to really imprison your brother? “If you go out every day, what kind of sh*t will you end up in?”
“I know because I was imprisoned once. Even if you are incarcerated, you are followed in the same way.”
“Again. “Don’t worry, you terminally ill young man.”
“If I win, I can escape the time limit?”
Jump up. Jo Ayun raised her crouching body and immediately kicked Han Jaejoong in the shin.
“Ahh!”
“You f*cking say that?!”
It was absurd. Do you think you know what you have to deal with now?
“Scorpion… It’s a scorpion! That f*cking amazing Japanese b*tch is coming back! A monster that hasn’t hurt anyone in nearly 20 years! Beast of the galaxy!”
Screaming, Zhao Yun hugged his head again.
“Ahh! f*ck God! Seniors! Why did you leave that crazy bug alone! “It’s a dereliction of duty. Sssss…”
Just hearing his name takes my breath away.
There is no guarantee that you will survive if you fight, but even if you survive, won’t you come back with some serious aftereffects?
The scorpion’s loss ability was quite famous. There must be more than one person who has had their starlight and lifespan taken away.
“This is the first time I’ve heard that if you kill a scorpion, something you lost will come back…”
“So, as long as I win, there’s no problem?”
“No problem!”
I kicked him in the shin again.
“What are you going to do? No matter how strong my brother becomes, he won’t be at the Galaxy level. Of course, so do I… Can we barely win with just the two of us?”
“Huh? What are you talking about. “Why the two of us?”
“…What?”
“Ayun-ah. “Can you move to the place I tell you for a moment?”
I was dumbfounded, but Jo Ayun did as he said.
The place I visited was a shabby abandoned building. There were no people there, probably because the place was abandoned after the monster ran away from me, and there was a lot of dust.
“Well, what is it? “What are you trying to do…”
Jo Ayun clung to his body and moved her feet in an awkward atmosphere. Suddenly his steps stopped, and Jo Ayun also stopped.
“How are you?”
“Are you here?”
“Let me introduce you to Ayuna. “They are my men.”
Then what I saw were monsters I had seen before. One monster looked like it had been glued together from a ship’s plank, and the other had a red body that looked like it was rusty.
“Who is your subordinate? You bastard!”
“That’s right! “We are equal!”
“What kind of equality are these guys who have been treated by me once?”
“Hey, then do you want to come back? Uh? Shall we give it a try?”
“Ah, life is a waste. “Why would I waste my precious life on you?”
Jo Ayun was speechless.
“…I am your only comrade.”
“Huh?”
“There was more, more…! “You bastard!”
Jo Ayun cried.
