180 – Training (2)
Love and peace.
It is the most common yet most conceptual word.
Who can define love and peace?
Many artists spoke of love, but no one knew love. All they knew was their love.
In order to create a peaceful world, countless philosophers have repeatedly debated and speculated as long as the human race has lived, but in the end, no one has known peace. No way could peace be reached.
Even the distinction was ambiguous in the first place.
If humanity increases and is protected through love, wouldn’t this have contributed to the peace of humanity’s subordination? Also, isn’t peace created through love for humanity?
That is why love and peace were considered close values.
Isn’t the role of a magical girl to speak of love and protect peace?
I don’t even know the exact definition of these two, but I can’t even tell them apart. Baek Ah-hee couldn’t quite understand.
Which of the two should take priority? Why on earth? It’s good to have both.
Of course, it is true that the power that comes from love is avoided because it is more unstable than peace. However, a first-class magical girl should be able to possess both of these.
In fact, it is difficult to distinguish. It is similar to not knowing exactly what foods the calories consumed during exercise come from. Just as you make an inference by recalling the menu you ate yesterday, you are just making an inference by thinking about your own mindset.
There are quite a few cases where love has raised stars even though the person himself was not aware of it.
“Love and peace, love and peace….”
A being who protects love and peace should abandon one of them just because it is difficult for him.
Aren’t magical girls someone who challenges the impossible and shows miracles?
“It’s difficult….”
Baek Ah-hee was worried while lying on the bed.
From noble mtl dot com
Silver Luna’s advice was enough to make her head spin. A rather difficult request to awaken her divinity. There’s a choice between love and peace…
“Love and peace… LOVE&PEACE… Words that started in American hippie culture and became popular through rock… A movement of those who rejected violence and sang about freedom and harmony….”
Baek A-hee searched various media and organized the information in her head, trying to understand it in her own way.
“But inside, it’s a decadent life filled with drugs and s*x… Wow, no way!”
It was a largely meaningless effort.
“Was love promiscuity and peace a drug? I had to decide which of these two pleasures I would indulge in…! Wow, Silver Luna is a pervert! Are you trying to use some kind of magic spell on me?”
[Guardian, have you turned around?]
“…After all, it doesn’t make sense, does it?”
Sometimes such crazy conclusions were reached.
“Ugh….”
In the end, it was a problem that could not be answered through speculation alone.
The world would be a more comfortable place if difficult problems could be solved just by lying comfortably in bed and thinking.
All philosophers would have spoken only the truth, artists would have created masterpieces, the economy would have grown, and society would have achieved stability.
But no difficult problem can be solved by groaning in bed.
A great genius might be able to do that, but Baek Ah-hee was not a genius in this area. Like most other people.
After all, life is an experience.
People can only see the world within their own field of vision. However, it is possible to imagine and consider another person’s position.
Experience makes this possible.
Through conversations, literature, and sometimes by directly experiencing similar situations.
This accumulated experience nourishes the soul and enables deeper consideration.
It goes without saying that a conclusion that takes into account more people will be more accurate than a conclusion made by oneself alone.
Baek A-hee has decided.
There is no use worrying about love and peace alone!
So let’s go out!
**
“After all, anything can be solved only when we touch each other!”
“Ah, so….”
Han Jaejoong sighed after hearing the lengthy explanation of the situation.
“A person who considers other people’s positions so important… Comes home at 3 in the morning?”
“Sorry! I’m a person who doesn’t like stuffy things by nature! I guess my position was important at that moment hehehe…”
Baek Ah-hee looked up through the window at the brightly moonlit sky and smiled innocently. The smile was innocent but not innocent, and Han Jaejoong was impressed by its cleverness.
“But there’s nothing we can do about it already, right?”
Even though business was closed, the scent of coffee was strong inside the cafe.
“Next time, please at least contact me. Really. “I thought he was a monster after he transformed himself.”
“If it were a monster, wouldn’t it have knocked so politely?”
“Is that a knock? Are you almost trying to break it? “In effect, it was a threat that if I didn’t open it, I would destroy it.”
White Lake. As the name White Lake suggests, the space filled with moonlight had a lake-like mystery.
It was a familiar scene to Han Jae-joong, who had been living in a cafe since losing his home. However, it was awkward to see this scenery with someone else.
When the two monsters came in, there was no time to think about the scenery.
Although Baek Ah-hee was an uninvited guest, she was a guest anyway, and muttered as she carefully drank the coffee provided.
“…The moon is pretty.”
The corners of his mouth slightly raised as he said those words were both mischievous and playful, creating a truly complicated state of mind for Han Jaejoong.
“Aheeya.”
“Yes?”
“Don’t change your mind.”
“…Yes.”
This guy wakes people up at 3 in the morning and laughs?
“Isn’t it fun to make fun of me and give me trouble?”
“No, that’s….”
“Let’s be honest.”
“A little bit….”
“A little?”
“To be honest, a bit much….”
“No, you’re just not at that level. In my view, the joy in your life is me. “It’s the most enjoyable thing to see my frown frown.”
“Oh, correct.”
“The answer is amazing.”
Should I really hit him? Of course, I knew that if I hit him in this condition, only my hand would be broken, so I had no choice but to hold back.
“Jae, Jaejoong, haven’t you been selling more to me lately?”
“No, Ahee told me to use informal language. “I just followed along.”
“Can’t the person who listens to my requests so well please listen to me now?”
I am tired. It wasn’t just the effect of not being able to sleep.
“…We haven’t been together recently. Jaejoong and I are busy during the day… So we only have time like this…”
It is a problem with the body itself. It was fundamental pain. Is it because life expectancy has recently decreased? My condition is quite bad.
Luckily I don’t have to use Ursa Major today, so that’s it. If it had been a bad day, I would have suffered from more severe fatigue. Maybe he didn’t even hear Baek A-hee’s harsh knock and slept as if he had fainted.
“Ah, I didn’t come here to talk about this… Eh, eh! I feel it! Master! “Give me all the alcohol in here!”
“Do you think I’ll give you alcohol? “I’m satisfied with caffeine.”
Tch, Baek A-hee clicked her tongue lightly and sipped her coffee dissatisfied.
Sometimes I was thankful for that kind of appearance.
They know everything about Han Jaejoong’s identity and health condition, but they treat him like nothing has changed. It was good because it seemed to eliminate unnecessary worries, agony, and inconvenience.
After emptying half of her coffee, Baek A-hee took out a piece of paper and a pen from somewhere, then clasped her hands and placed them near her mouth.
“Hmmm… Well, it looks like the tension is all gone now.”
“I never did it in the first place.”
“Let the consultation… Begin.”
He looked like a professional psychiatrist (more often seen on TV shows than in hospitals).
“It’s been a while since you had a consultation, right Jaejoong?”
Yes, it is good to be treated consistently. It’s always precious to have someone you can talk to comfortably without any inconvenience.
But even though it is comfortable, I think it is too comfortable. It was really impressive to see them trying their best to waste time on a subject with a terminally ill patient in front of them.
‘This b*tch has come to assassinate.’
How blinded by merit must one be to waste time without hesitation like this? The plan was to eliminate the scorpion hunting rival before awakening to divinity!
‘Kim Saji, follow this example. This is assassination.’
Do not cowardly snipe from a distance, but come forward confidently and kill without killing intent. That is truly a professional touch.
“…It’s been a long time since I had that consultation.”
“Right, right?! After all, this is the basis of our relationship….”
“In reality, it was always my counselor who achieved my psychological growth.”
“….”
“I plan to do the same today.”
Baek Ah-hee’s words disappeared.
“Oh, today is different…!”
“Oh my.”
“I’m going to get proper counseling.”
She cleared her throat once again, took her stance, and looked at Han Jaejoong with her serious eyes.
“Please tell me about your first love.”
“….”
“Exploring your first love and digging into its psychology…”
I didn’t even expect it. Han Jaejoong pointed to the door without even sighing.
“Get out.”
“aaah~ You heard what I said earlier! Love and peace! “You can’t become divine without considering this?!”
Divinity.
Just as Helios proposed to Jo Ayun, Silver Luna appears to have proposed to Baek Ahee.
‘Honestly, if you think about the original work, I’d like to tell you not to wake up…’
From the perspective of Han Jae-joong, who knows the future, her awakening was something he wanted to avoid as much as possible.
Fortunately, divine awakening alone is not an immediate problem.
The problem is, after awakening to divinity, the only second awakening in the magical girl world.
Supernova.
Red Vega’s awakening is the last half of the story. It takes place with most magical girls retired or dead.
After solving the scorpion problem, a lion runs rampant and the magical girl is left alone.
A second awakening is achieved in a situation where the world is on the verge of destruction.
This is a supernova.
If a nova devastates its surroundings with its mere presence, a supernova shakes the world with its mere presence. Its power is comparable to that of a god.
With this power, most monsters can be eliminated… But there are too many huge variables in this world.
The strange contradiction in the shield constellation.
The moment Red Vega awakens her supernova, he will immediately brand her as her strongest and try to kill her.
Human civilization is destroyed before the two who awakened to supernova can even form a union. Both also die.
The remaining humans in the destroyed civilization are killed by monsters. In the end, all mankind is exterminated.
The worst ending that earned all kinds of criticism. This ending must be avoided at all costs.
The best way is to prevent the main character, Red Vega, from powering up…
‘You probably won’t listen.’
If you get too strong, the world will be destroyed, so even if you tell them to stay still, they won’t believe you and won’t listen.
“Pali! First love! First love!”
So what we need to do now is just talk gently and get things going.
“Okay, if you want, let me know! Listen! “My whole life is here!”
“Ohhhhh.”
Clap clap clap clap. Baek Ah-hee applauded enthusiastically.
“As you know. “My first love is Seolhwa.”
“Single-mindedness…! Uh, how did you fall in love?”
“At first sight.”
“Eck.”
Baek Ah-hee frowned. What’s so bad about it? Isn’t it just an ordinary story?
“You fell in love with your face.”
“It was when we were both snotty little kids. It’s a face or something. “Overall… I fell in love with the atmosphere.”
“I can see the child’s face more, right? Is it so. “Just like me.”
“You are a child.”
“Rather than Jaejoong? Anyway… What’s the other story? “The reason for all the details….”
“Nothing. Really. I fell in love with it at first sight. And at that time, Seolhwa was picky and every time she attacked, she was pushed away. End.”
“It’s not fun….”
Baek Ah-hee leaned her face on the table.
“I thought it would be useful… But I don’t know the feeling of love at first sight. Even if I try to imagine it, I can’t feel it…”
“What use is this b*tch looking at people? How useful is she?”
As she pouted her mouth and complained, she tapped Han Jaejoong’s foot under the table.
“Actually, I don’t understand the concept of love between the opposite s*x, like infatuation or anything like that.”
“It’s just because I’ve never met someone like that.”
“With that said, I know family love well, right? “I don’t have her parents, but her grandmother raised me with love.”
Baek Ah-hee stood up. Not just the upper body, but the entire body.
“Why, why are you coming…”
“In the first place, what exactly is the difference between love of the opposite s*x and love of family?”
She placed her hand on Han Jaejoong’s thigh and bent down. Red eyes shined down on him brighter than the moon.
“s*xual desire? Does having s*xual desire make you heteros*xual? However, there are many s*xless couples in the world. They love each other. There are couples who practice chastity before marriage, and I recently looked into it and found that there are also couples who love each other without physical attachment, called platonic love. “Isn’t this heteros*xuality?”
“Hey, sleep….”
“I think love is the desire to give of oneself. “I want to give everything, and the other person’s happiness becomes my own happiness.”
Too close. A close distance where you can feel your breath. Han Jae-joong tried to avoid his eyes because he felt burdened, but no matter where he looked, he could see Baek A-hee’s face.
“But, if you think about it, it’s different. He wants the other person to give him as much love as he gave him, and he wants the other person to be happy, but he doesn’t want them to be happy without him. And sometimes, the other person’s perplexed expression is endearing.”
“Aha, I see. That’s what Ahee thinks~ Isn’t it… Burdensome? Get out of the way…”
“To be exact, Jaejoong.”
Han Jaejoong was speechless.
“So I’m in love with Jaejoong now?”
He was speechless for a moment, but Han Jaejoong thought about it for a moment. The conclusion was reached quickly.
“…Maybe?”
“Right? So is this love for the opposite s*x or heteros*xuality? Is it love for lovers? But there are also some strange parts. Jaejoong, do you want to kiss me?”
“Not really.”
“It’s a coincidence. Me too. But I think a kiss would be okay. But is this still heteros*xual? Is it lust and Eros?”
The answer to this also came quickly.
“Write… I think it’s ambiguous.”
“Yes. “That’s my opinion too.”
Baek Ah-hee dropped her body. Only then was Han Jaejoong able to breathe again. It’s really burdensome.
“Honestly, if men and women gathered together at night, if it were like American dramas, would they have done it by now?”
“You told me to just watch that.”
“There’s nothing we can do. I’m very curious. Oh, and American dramas are okay!”
I sighed deeply. It was Baek Ah-hee and Han Jae-joong at the same time.
“…Even though I say this, I still can’t formulate my opinion. What does it mean to love someone, to love rationally? Now that I think about it, the term “Rational” Seems strange. “There must be a lot of same-s*x love in the world.”
“Isn’t that how it was originally? “There are many types of love.”
“Hmm… It’s difficult.”
After a few more words, Baek Ah-hee finally gave up on defining love within today. If you don’t know love, it’s no different from not knowing love for humanity. In the end, I didn’t even know peace.
The two, tired of talking, decided to use literary materials as reference this time. Because Baek Ah-hee brought the movie. It was said to be a famous classic romance movie.
From noble mtl dot com
Han Jaejoong didn’t particularly reject it because he only knew his name and had never seen it before.
Baek Ah-hee, who watched it and wanted to analyze her heteros*xuality once again, fell asleep less than thirty minutes after the movie started.
Han Jaejoong watched the entire movie until the end. I was moved to tears. The ending, of two lovers breaking up for the sake of their dreams, really touched my heart.
Baek Ah-hee showed no signs of waking up, so he decided to take her to her own bed where she was sleeping. And then she realized that he was so sleepy that she squatted down next to him and let him sleep.
It was just before dawn.
When the sun was sufficiently high in the sky, Jo Ayun diligently went to work at the cafe.
And….
“What the f*ck.”
I found Baek A-hee lying on her bed and Han Jae-joong asking to sit next to her.
“What the f*ck!!!!”
It was the beginning of an eventful day.
