175 – Divine (5)
From noble mtl dot com
“Coffee is here.”
“Oh my, thank you. Hmm… it smells good.”
After a day of gorgeous apple mad movies. Café Baekho found some peace.
“The barista is skilled, but wouldn’t it be difficult if there were no customers?”
“hahahaha, what can I do? Still, it’s worth it since customers come here occasionally.”
“Oh, that’s right. Come to think of it, did you say that the boss over there is a magical girl?”
“Yes. “He’s retired now.”
“So, running a cafe is kind of like a hobby… And you’re the one who’s having a hard time, right?”
It’s surprisingly sharp. The operation of this cafe was meant to support Han Jae-joong, who was unable to find a normal job due to the quest.
Even though the frequency of quests has decreased recently, I was always sent two or three times a day. The extermination of small monsters is repeated every day.
Fortunately, I was able to get a bike again and move quickly and retreat, and the frequency of encounters with magical girls decreased. In addition, with the help of Jo Ayun, butterflies can also be used.
The convenience of completing quests has increased, but the salary remains the same. In fact, this employee’s salary is also close to an infinite deficit.
If magical girls don’t come and overspend every now and then, it would be a waste to even receive this money. Although cocktails sold only at night make a significant profit…
Magical girls have been very busy lately, so even that little profit has disappeared.
Also, quests.
[Main Quest. We are carrying out ‘bug extermination.’ Quests that are not urgent can be abandoned.]
After I fainted and woke up, I received a quest with this information from Belt.
The belt probably dug into a loophole in the system and proceeded with the quest in the most advantageous way for Han Jaejoong.
For some reason, I became proud of the belt. I can’t even imagine what it would have been like in the past.
“Then how about it? Pass the information to me. “I will repay you with a reasonable amount.”
“I’m sorry, but this is an ordinary tea shop, so I don’t think I have any information to give you, Magical Girl.”
“Huh? Have I mentioned that I’m a magical girl even once?”
“Then, there is a high probability that the Japanese person I’ve met for the first time is a magical girl who is hanging out with that friend. “I took a rough picture, but it looks like I got it right.”
Han Jaejoong looked at Haru. When her gaze met Han Jaejoong’s, she trembled and looked away with her straw in her mouth.
“I will never open my mouth again…!”
“Who said what?”
“I almost got screwed more than once because of my foolish words and actions… so for today, I’m going to shut up and start practicing silence!”
Now that I’ve said it, isn’t the practice already broken? Han Jaejoong didn’t bother to raise the issue.
The person I wanted to raise an issue with was Jo Ayun.
‘What the f*ck are you saying?’
I couldn’t understand Japanese, so I had no idea what they were saying.
‘Why is my brother so good at it?’
Why are people so talented in strange places? Even if you call him a fool, his skills were better than you could imagine. Did you study in the past?
Gradually, a shadow began to appear around Jo Ayun’s eyes.
It was a very small stimulus. The humiliation of becoming a boss and only receiving help from employees. It was just something that had to stop at this point.
Being able to speak a language other than English well is difficult for most people. Rather, the fact that she didn’t know Japanese well was closer to her average axis.
But that wasn’t the case now.
Just as a drop of water falls into a full glass and spills its contents, the already tired mind becomes hypersensitive to even the slightest stimulus.
Jo Ayun claimed to be Han Jae-joong’s assistant.
Life support, combat assistance.
When she was repeatedly blaming herself for not being able to help her properly, the fact that even the slightest communication did not help her was enough to sink her into the swamp of her self-destruction.
Your role is being shaken.
It was quite a big situation for people whose role is tied to their identity.
Jo Ayun was one of those people.
‘Am I really helpful?’
It’s been several days since I’ve been left with this question.
Time-limited, ridiculously short period of time, and a task that is too difficult for the time.
Amid the current crisis, Jo Ayun was still wandering.
“Hmm… If things continue like this, there will be inconveniences in communication.”
Magenta Helios muttered as he looked at Jo Ayun, who lowered his head sullenly.
Her inability to communicate was just an opportunity, and behind that expression was a more complicated and serious story, but she didn’t know about it.
“Since we have a story to tell anyway, let’s change our outfits.”
“Yes?”
“I am not a psychotic character in a creative work. If you’re talking to yourself, there’s always a reason. “What is it?”
“…Because you want me to hear it?”
“Correct answer.”
A girl of about ten years old caught a red sphere floating around her. The sphere had comical features drawn on it, like something out of a children’s cartoon.
When the sphere, which felt like a soft softball, was held in the palm of the hand, its shape suddenly changed into a long stick-like shape.
“I heard it, so I assume it was approved?”
“This is crazy….”
Before Han Jaejoong could stop her, the girl kissed her lips.
“Dress up.”
[Dress up your star!]
Light filled the quiet cafe in the afternoon. It was as warm as sunlight. At the same time, that light was vicious and arrogant. Without paying attention to anyone else, I just shined my own light. It didn’t matter whether the object was hot or hot.
Her brown hair, which used to fall down her back, grew longer and was painted pink. Her purple pupils were also dyed a similar color to her hair, and her hair, which seemed to grow infinitely long, was tied into a ponytail with a dainty ribbon.
Her white dress became more airy and had a design with lots of frills and ribbons. Pink dyed the clothes as well.
In an instant, a magical girl appeared.
Han Jaejoong was dumbfounded.
“…Are you crazy?”
“Why, if you do this, that kid can understand.”
“No, if you suddenly transform.”
“Are you having trouble?”
“Yes, there is.”
“Hmm~ What is it?”
“It’s so loud it hurts my eyes.”
Magenta Helios chuckled after hearing Han Jaejoong’s answer.
“hehehe. That’s a cute answer. “If it’s that difficult, just endure it.”
Then he moved his pink eyes and looked at Jo Ayun.
“You look surprised?”
“Uh… You mean me?”
“Yes. Have you seen me before? “Why are you so wide-eyed?”
Magenta Helios smiled teasingly and leisurely sipped her coffee.
Jo Ayun resisted the desire to bite her lip. In fact, it was the perfect answer. Normally I wouldn’t make a mistake like this, but I was so worried just a moment ago that I failed to manage my facial expression.
Magenta Helios. One of the magical girls who fought yesterday and was dispatched from Japan.
According to Han Jaejoong, he is an overwhelming senior than himself. Red Helios, a second generation magical girl, herself.
‘You weren’t just being mean to the kid!’
When he saw her, Silver Luna’s terrible battle came to Jo Yun’s mind.
An overwhelming feeling of helplessness for the first time in a long time since I won the belt. Feeling like she is being played by her partner. A misery where all I could do was earn time.
Like a beast in front of its natural enemy. In just one day yesterday, fear was imprinted on me at a genetic level.
When that silver fear came to mind, Jo Ayun involuntarily trembled.
‘Is she as strong as that crazy b*tch?’
If that person can use divinity, he doesn’t have the talent to deal with it.
“…I was just surprised by the sudden transformation.”
“Suddenly you even use polite language? Well, if you’re surprised, you might be.”
It was quite disgusting how he nodded as if he understood everything.
“Hey, hey!”
Her day was filled with embarrassment as she pursed her lips and scolded her, raising her fist as if to threaten her.
“What kind of speech habit is that to adults! Besides, the sudden transformation… I can translate for you!”
“It’s uncomfortable. “There is also the problem of the intention being distorted.”
I especially didn’t want to leave it to Haru.
“So wouldn’t it be easier to transform and speak like this? Is not it?”
“Why do you want to say that?”
“I told you. “Are there any monsters around here?”
Han Jaejoong answered with a deep sigh.
“Did I tell you? It’s a town that was ruined by a monster before. But these days it doesn’t come out. If you want to know that information, wouldn’t it be better to go to headquarters instead of here? All kinds of information would be gathered there. If you can, you can also view CCTV records.”
“But it means that there is nothing other than the officially recorded facts.”
Magenta Helios did not retreat.
“…White, what don’t you know? “Something like secrets related to these kids.”
They are asking for information about the monster and are immediately digging into the ‘children.’ Of course, those children were referring to Han Jae-joong and Jo Ayun.
In reality, it was no different from accusing them of being related to a monster.
“No, I don’t know! “I don’t know anything!”
One day, he shook his head and avoided her question.
‘It’s going to spin.’
The reaction is that everyone knows something. Han Jaejoong resisted the desire to cover his head.
‘I should have told you in advance.’
During the November runaway incident, she had looked into some of Han Jaejoong’s secrets. Words and actions that make one seem to be friendly with a monster.
That day, Haru and Han Jaejoong shared each other’s secrets one by one.
‘I was going to call you separately one day and handle it…!’
He tried to use this secret as an excuse to create a connection with Haru.
She hasn’t made the loop yet. White Davich was busy every day with the resolution of the November riot incident, and after she had free time, Han Jae-joong lost free time.
Thanks to this, the plan to establish a secret cooperative relationship with Haru went awry.
The problem is that Haru is telling such clumsy lies because of the secret he vaguely gave away that day.
‘Did I do well?!’
In the midst of this, Haru was glancing at Han Jaejoong with a proud expression, as if asking her to compliment him.
‘Yes, why didn’t you say it was right?’
If it were normal, I would have answered first without even paying attention and then dealt with it later.
This is a huge step forward. Han Jaejoong laughed helplessly.
“I see.”
After hearing Haru’s answer, Magenta Helios smiled and sipped her coffee again.
“You mean that’s right?”
“I said no! Haeng is a good person who believed in me! So, I will trust you too!”
“Okay, okay. Just do it to that extent, White. Because that’s enough for me. “That boy is going to get sick.”
I was very grateful that you took care of my health during this time.
“Oh my, how much time has passed already? White. It’s almost meeting time. “Let’s get up quickly.”
“Already? Now, wait a minute!”
One day, she immediately grabbed her mug with both hands and drank the contents as if she were drinking from her bowl of makgeolli. That thing is hot.
“Puha! I’ll wake up then! “If you’re late, I’ll really lag behind you this time!”
I got up and quickly left my seat without anyone having time to stop me. Magenta Helios gazed at the spot she had left.
“How did she become a magical girl? Kids these days are so.”
After sighing deeply, I raised my head towards Han Jaejoong again.
“…Aren’t you going?”
“I said earlier that the meeting was late….”
“I don’t mind falling out. “How much experience do I have?”
“hahahaha… You don’t seem to have the most experience.”
“There are many people who judge something based solely on appearances.”
Magenta Helios stroked her ponytail.
“But you didn’t judge me based solely on my appearance.”
“What…”
“This cute little girl got lost, but you responded like you would an adult, right?”
If I say it myself, it is truly disgusting. His actual age is much older than his. Han Jaejoong thought deeply.
‘She’s quite a crazy b*tch.’
Joa Yoon also clicked his tongue in bewilderment.
“It’s a strange thing. No matter what, you might be embarrassed. Is not it? Kimu?”
“Hey, so the last name Kimu is prejudiced….”
“Someone I know said that? If you say kimu, you will get half a hit. Unfortunately, it looks like we were wrong today.”
Han Jaejoong slowly felt anxious. Apparently, that was the same for Jo Ayun. Jo Ah Yoon, who was at the counter the whole time, was moving his body outward.
“Okay. Let’s ask his name. There’s a big, rambunctious boy and a little girl. “What are your names?”
“What the f*ck?!”
“Look. “How could I not be suspicious of such a sincere way of dealing with a child?”
Magenta Helios laughed again as he looked at Jo Ayun, who was having a fit.
“Then again. “I’m curious about your name…”
Schwag-! Very small specks of light spread out widely. The use of boundaries around her body. It stuck to the outside of the object and marked its outline.
“Oh, I’ll say it again. “A person’s name.”
Outlines are displayed on everything in this cafe, revealing previously invisible objects.
[Oh my…!]
From noble mtl dot com
[This is a failure. Sorry.]
Two iron balls floating in the air.
“Ursa Major… And one was Cassiopeia? “They make a good pair.”
Magenta Helios twisted the corners of her mouth as if to sneer, and then became expressionless again.
“Oppa!”
“…Ha, really.”
Ayun Jo grabbed the belt. Jaejoong Han also sighed and grabbed his belt. I don’t want to fight, but I can’t help it.
“Ah~ I’ve discovered your identity, so I’ll dispose of you, right? That’s pretty thorough. “Okay, why not have some fun with the young people?”
It felt quite uncomfortable to say that she was young because of her appearance, but I didn’t have time to worry about such small things right now.
My identity has been revealed. I don’t know what the problem was. However, as long as the opponent is a magical girl, the monster will never forgive.
“We can’t just let things happen to us.”
“Damn it… Huh? Wait, aren’t you purging the people who knew the secret?”
“…? “Why us?”
Magenta Helios’ expression was broken. This time it wasn’t a smile, but a perplexed expression.
“Wait a minute. “Then why do you want to fight?”
“You’re arguing right now!”
“Right or wrong…? This? “Kids these days are weird.”
“You must be strange!”
Jo Ayun could not understand. What is that magical girl’s intention? Why do they invade in broad daylight and persecute a person who is suffering from a terminal illness?
“There seems to be some misunderstanding. “I just wanted to talk.”
“A story, what?”
“That technology.”
Magenta Helios pointed to the belt.
“That transformation system.”
Ah, that’s it. It was only then that Jaejoong Han realized Magenta Helios’s intentions. I couldn’t see her clearly because she had an expressionless face, but her eyes were sparkling like a child with a gift in front of her.
“That senior… You really finished it.”
She was said to have interacted with Sky Polaris in the past. There would be no surprise if you knew this belt technique.
Helios did not come to fight.
I came because I wanted to know the legacy of the past.
‘If I do well, I will be able to hear an explanation of the system.’
It is an unexpected harvest.
“You guys know my identity, right? Then there’s nothing to take out.”
“Maybe.”
“As you may have guessed, I am Red Helios himself. Although I grew younger due to circumstances, I still keep the memories of the past intact. I know Sky Polaris senior’s dream. I know what that technology is. I also know that you are people. “I never thought it would succeed….”
Helios muttered in a voice filled with emotion.
“Now, will you tell me? “How did you complete that transformation system?”
But the problem is….
“I don’t know.”
“Huh?”
“We don’t even know.”
This side cannot give any information to the other side. I’m not being mean, I really don’t know.
“What, didn’t senior Sky tell you? Ha… I don’t mind. Then please tell me about the research institute. “I just have to look for it myself.”
“I don’t even know that.”
“Uh… Well, then the blueprint! “If only there was a blueprint…”
“I don’t know.”
“…How did you guys get that belt?”
“I picked it up.”
It’s true, but what should I do?
“…Did that senior spread this dangerous technique on the ground?”
Helios, who expected knowledge and hope, could not be given that gift.
“You made an ordinary person with no connection pick that up?”
Instead, it seems to have brought disappointment and despair.
“Isn’t she crazy?!!”
My words.
Han Jaejoong strongly agreed.
