185 – Training (7)
“Today! We will overthrow the long-awaited enemy of humanity!”
Silver Luna proudly shouted from the center of the dressing room.
“Waaa!!”
“I think what I was hoping for was not humanity, but just that one person….”
Yellow Castor was the only one who was taken aback by that declaration, and the rest reacted indifferently.
Magenta Helios, who had trouble staying up all night due to his physical age, even yawned.
“Hey kid, are you sleepy? “I’m leaving this to her sisters and sleeping around.”
“….”
Even though I tried my best to express my concerns, there was no answer because the tone of voice was rude. Helios looked at White Davih as if he were dumbfounded.
How can you be a kid when you look at a senior who easily has more than a few years of experience?
‘Is this junior crazy?’
Be patient, be patient. Well, what does a kid like this know?
She didn’t even talk about the situation in the first place.
There is no way I can understand this sorrow of losing time fighting the most vicious beast, so I can only bear it.
Because he looks like a child on the outside.
“Huh? “Are you sleepy, baby?”
‘Be patient, be patient….’
Following White Davih to Red Vega. He was angry that his two juniors were treating him like a child, but he endured it with steely patience.
‘It’s better than when I was at this age and sucked formula.’
It was much better than the humiliation I experienced as a newborn.
“Hey, over there! Wouldn’t it be okay to leave out Helios-chan? “It’s so late…”
Red Vega’s consideration was excessive and overflowing.
“No, what is that….”
“Uh huh, don’t ignore our magical girl too much! Magenta Helios is a magical girl before she was a child, a proud warrior!”
No matter what, I almost couldn’t hold back my tears when they asked me to take them out of the operation, but my anger subsided due to Silver Luna’s quick response.
Oh hoho. Silver Luna smiled arrogantly and snorted. But even for a moment. She smiled and opened her closed eyes, and began to look at Helios.
Although she spoke cheerfully, she couldn’t help but feel worried inside. No matter what, she looked like a child.
“…Are you okay?”
“Yes, of course it’s okay.”
Now you even treat me like a child. Feeling like she couldn’t bear it anymore, Helios opened her mouth.
“I must catch the scorpion.”
Regain the glory of the past. For this, she once again set foot in this foreign country.
If I was going to be treated like a child and left out of the operation, I wouldn’t have come to this country in the first place.
I will definitely regain the strength of the past and overcome the present where I have become an obsolete person, remembering only my past self.
“That’s right~ Then it’s decided that no one will be left out, right?”
Yellow Castor looked around at all the people gathered in the room and said. No answer came back. In the current situation, silence was not much different from approval.
But some silences were uncomfortable silences.
It wasn’t because I felt guilty about making a child move at night.
The current goal was not simply a scorpion.
A fight between giant stars detected by Yellow Castor. It was a battle between the Watcher, Odette, and Scorpion. Using this as a clue, the magical girl plans to intervene.
Contradictions and vortis were not detected.
In other words, the only monsters you will encounter in this enemy territory are those two, except for the scorpion.
‘Do I have to fight Mr. Watcher… Ayun, why is that b*tch fighting at this time of night?’
‘What are you thinking… Well, now is not the time to worry about others. First of all, I have to do well.’
The Watcher and Odette. A collision with those two is also inevitable.
“This wisdom of using competitors to attack the enemy! At the same time, it is a golden opportunity to eliminate enemies and competitors in an instant!”
“Not wisdom, but meanness….”
“Hmm, can’t you hear? “The voices of the weak who have not attained divinity are not heard~”
Given that the battle began before the appearance of Botis and Contradiction, it appears that they have the ability to determine the location of the scorpion.
Everyone is exhausted from the continuous battle with the alter ego.
If you continue to be fooled by Contradiction and Botis, you may run out of stamina before you can even face the main body.
Divinity is a powerful force, but it also imposes a burden. Although he didn’t show it, the fatigue accumulated in Silver Luna was at a level that wouldn’t be strange if he just slept for three days.
From noble mtl dot com
There is no end in sight like this. Don’t be fooled by the monster’s tricks; you must see the end yourself!
By chance, it was confirmed that the competitor found the scorpion first and attacked it, so we will use them as detection dogs to find the scorpion and see to the end.
This was the conclusion Silver Luna reached.
This seems quite reasonable. Even though the idea is to take advantage of a competitor and take the last hit, the weak have their own reasons.
A magic girl who protects not only herself but dozens or millions of citizens sometimes had to be heartless.
“Well, but is there really a need to end the competition…? It’s also a coincidence that we have a common enemy called Scorpion, so we attack them together first, and then attack them later when the time is right….”
Orange Altair cautiously raised his hand. As much as I once received a favor from them, I felt quite a bit of resistance to using them and being hostile to them.
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Silver Luna sharply denied it. Unlike before, his tone was serious and heavy.
Silver Luna’s mood changed at the word cooperation.
“We must be the ones to take away the last of the scorpions! Me, Magenta, and other magical girls! I can never hand it over to a monster! “The last two losses are already humiliating…!”
I could even feel obsession in that voice. Serious anger. A true shame. It was at a level where the word “Cooperation” Sparked a competition.
“Yeah, I see.”
“Don’t let magical girls talk about collaborating with monsters! Know your numbers!”
It was an exaggerated reaction to the point where Orange Altair became embarrassed.
“Why are you making such a fuss… What does it matter who wins? “Isn’t it enough to just defeat the scorpion?”
“White, you know the numbers. “What are you going to say to us?”
“What do I have to be ashamed of?”
As White Davich leaned mischievously in her chair and scolded her, Yellow Castor glanced at her displeased.
“Are you really saying this because you don’t know? “You killed…”
“Yellow, let’s get there. “It has nothing to do with the current situation.”
“…I’m sorry, princess.”
“White, you should also change your speaking habits. “It’s rude.”
Before the atmosphere became hostile, Silver Luna mediated between the two.
“I’m sorry. We have a slightly hot-tempered temperament. Sorry for bothering you. But are you sincere in everything you said earlier? “Please don’t ever say such a horrible thing again about collaborating with a monster to defeat a scorpion.”
The strong have their own spirit. This is his confidence in the power he has accumulated, and the composure that he will not be in trouble no matter what enemy comes his way. That confidence and composure creates the spirit of being higher than the opponent and not being invaded.
On the contrary, that spirit has the power to make people below follow the strong.
Silver Luna always showed playful arrogance, but now it was different.
“I say it again. “It must be us who take down the scorpion.”
Expression of strong will. He declared strongly, as if he would never forgive any objections, chewing up each and every word.
Silence arrived in the room again. This time it was mostly uncomfortable silence.
In the meantime, Red Vega raised his hand and asked a question.
“…Is there a reason why a Japanese magical girl must take the last part of the scorpion?”
Silver Luna laughed awkwardly, her shoulders shaking.
“W-what are you talking about? Of course, when we say we, we mean all the magical girls here, right? Even if she’s not a Japanese magical girl…”
“Lie again.”
White Davih criticized Silver Luna’s answer.
“You still have a lot to hide, senior.”
The air became cold. Yellow Castor’s face was distorted to the point where she wouldn’t wake up at any time, and Silver Luna’s expression was also slightly distorted. There was no anger this time. Rather, I was embarrassed.
She had sad eyes and her lips trembled, as if she had been stabbed in the crosshairs.
“Well, it’s not like that….”
“Because our old friend was killed by a scorpion, she just wanted to take the scorpion’s head for revenge.”
When it seemed like the atmosphere would not be resolved, Helios sighed and added her words.
“And you must have noticed that our princess is shy. “I was just embarrassed and had a little psychological resistance to calling you guys ‘us.’”
“Well, it’s not like that!”
“Right?”
When Silver Luna blushed and screamed, Helios bobbed his head as if showing off.
“It doesn’t have any great meaning. “I just wish it were us who hit the scorpion’s head, but that doesn’t mean it has to be that way, so don’t worry about it.”
It was clear to anyone that he was hiding something. But she didn’t think there was any need to delve into that secret.
If it were a really important fact, it would have been revealed vaguely, so Red Vega did not delve any further than this.
However, there was a catch.
‘…Then why is the Watcher so obsessed with the scorpion?’
Is it simply because they are a threat to magical girls? Of course, there were reasons for that, but that didn’t seem to be the whole story.
Everyone has something to hide. There are facts I don’t want to reveal to others.
‘That goes for me too.’
Everyone has a secret. Red Vega stopped paying attention to her and focused on a new topic.
Because divine awakening is more important now.
I hoped I could get some clues from this fight.
“So what’s the situation now, Yellow?”
“After the second fight, we have just moved to another location~”
“Profit! Already? “We can’t just keep getting taken away!”
Silver Luna rushed out of her seat.
“Now everyone, follow me! “This strongest magical girl!”
Led by Silver Luna, who especially emphasized the strongest, the magical girls drew starlight in the night sky.
**
[ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATION.]
The familiar sound of transformation rings in my ears.
[I obey my fate.]
A phrase meaning compliance with fate.
It is truly meaningful to say that one can follow one’s fate by looking at the constellations.
Isn’t it like seeing a dream and wanting to follow that dream?
The passivity that comes from the word ‘conformity’ suddenly became active.
Today, Han Jaejoong will definitely go to the brink of death, but this is not to get closer to death, but for life.
To comply with the dream and at the same time carry out that dream.
[URSA MAJOR.]
There was no backstory.
There is no time limit.
The Watcher raised his axe. The thunderbolt roared powerfully, and I ran to keep up with the roar.
“Let’s go!!”
Odette followed behind him vigorously. Butterflies hovered around the cold white thunderbolt.
The butterflies flew toward the scorpion, carrying lightning bolts. The trajectory drawn in this way had the same beauty as a fairy’s fan dance.
Kwasik! Quaaang!
When the ax struck the scorpion’s back, white lightning erupted like a volcano erupting. The butterfly sat on the scorpion’s joints and struck the lightning bolt directly.
For a moment, the scorpion’s movement was delayed. The Watcher did not miss the opportunity and jumped high into the sky.
[SET. Heavenly Chu Golden Pavilion.]
It rotated its body like a circular saw blade and fell downward with the centrifugal force. The target is the back where there was an open wound after being hit with an ax just now.
The paw raised with all its might clawed at the wound and exploded with lightning. Thunder, like the howl of an angry animal, shook the sky and the earth.
[Successful manifestation of the Golden Pavilion of Heaven and Earth. Reproducibility 100%]
There was no healthy part of the scorpion’s body and it could not move, but it was still breathing.
“He’s a tough guy… He’s got a really strong body.”
You must have accumulated enough wounds in advance to kill with this one shot. It seems that wasn’t enough this time.
“It’s as good as dead anyway. Finish it quickly. “I’ll go catch the next one.”
“What are you talking about, let’s hope there is no next time? Anyway… I guess there are 10 left with this.”
As I checked the number of remaining quests and raised my ax for the final blow, the moon approached.
“…?!”
No, it was an illusion that the moon was approaching. The moonlight was so close that my brain mistakenly thought the moon had come down.
I wish it had been the moon that came down. There was no kindness in that moonlight, only sharpness and bleakness.
Whoosh! A fist that felt like it was heavier than a heavenly body crushed the scorpion’s head. Damn it! The fist not only defeated the monster, it also broke the asphalt on the floor.
Soon after, an explosion occurred from the scorpion’s corpse.
The beast met death.
The floating quest window remained the same. This means that we dealt with an alter ego again.
Someone walked out from the smoke of the explosion. Even though it was covered in all kinds of embers and dust, it was elegant and beautiful. There was no hesitation in his steps, and his eyes were full of life.
I could unconsciously feel a chill on my back.
Like the light wrapped around her body, she was a person who resembled the night.
“Good night, monster?”
“This isn’t a good place.”
A woman who is elegant, beautiful, and has many secrets.
“hehehe, it’s a pity to hear that. But I mean. “I like it very much, right?”
Silver Luna looked at the Watcher, grinned, and floated in the sky.
“I hope you keep making me feel good.”
With those words, Silver Luna flew at high speed and disappeared.
“…I stepped on sh*t, damn it. “What are you doing, you bastard?”
“Calm down. Huh… Find the next target. I will share the location with you. “Can you move it?”
“Of course. What do you think of me? “Just hold my hand.”
It was a nerve-wracking appearance and exit in many ways, but he was currently busy with other things. Without having time to guess the meaning of his last words, the Watcher immediately headed to the location of the next scorpion.
It would be sooner or later that I would learn the meaning of those last words.
The next opponent’s scorpion….
“Oh hohoho! “I’ll take it well!”
The next scorpion…..
“Ohhohohohoho!! Please treat us well this time too!”
And then again…..
“Ohhohohohohoho!!!”
Every time, the final blow was taken away.
When Silver Luna said to make herself feel better, she meant to guide her to her scorpion and get over that final blow.
“Ohhohohoho! Well, now, what are you doing? You have to find your next partner, right? Or are you tired now?”
“What a piece of sh*t….”
She almost forgot the concept of a monster and almost cursed bitterly. She wanted to punch the happily smiling Silver Luna hard in the face.
There’s something about that laugh that gets on people’s nerves.
The good news was that among the scorpions that Silver Luna took the last hit from, there was no scorpion body.
‘No, that’s not a good thing.’
This means that all targets up to now have been empty.
“What are we going to do with this now?”
“What are you doing, you b*tch!! This f*cking b*tch has something else to pick up, is she just picking up the last hit? “Even the beggar bastard won’t do that sh*t!!”
Jo Ayun got angry on his behalf. It was a level of profanity that would have been stopped under normal circumstances, but due to the circumstances, Han Jaejoong did not stop it. In fact, I felt like I wanted to do more.
“Well, whatever. “Scorpion hunting.”
“I’m doing your work for you, but isn’t it too harsh to ridicule them even though they should be thanked? Of course, there is no need for gratitude. You just need to rest comfortably. Now go away. Please.”
Really please.
But as if ignoring that wish, Silver Luna laughed again.
“Oh hohoho! “That is an impossible request.”
“Does this seem like a proposal now? They might attack you next time. “It’s the same thing that we don’t want to see each other bleed.”
Of course, I have no such feelings. It is enough to attack the magical girl at the beginning of the transformation.
“There is a situation here where you must catch a scorpion. “Stop speaking with words…”
“What is that?”
“What?”
“I asked what that was.”
I didn’t think they would ask me back. She doesn’t even know her face anyway. Since they were not close enough to have something to hide, Han Jaejoong answered obediently.
“It is life. “I risked my life on this hunt.”
If you know the characteristics of a scorpion, you can fully interpret it. Silver Luna grinned when she heard those words.
“It’s a coincidence.”
“…?!”
“I also risked my life on this hunt. Ah, maybe in a different sense than you.”
This is difficult.
Han Jaejoong frowned. Although it may not be visible under the mask, his expression must have been distorted with embarrassment and confusion.
It was almost like an indirect explanation of why Silver Luna was so obsessed with scorpions.
‘This wasn’t in the original.’
Poison of loss. Jaejoong Han, Jason, and Bottis are not the only victims. Many, many people were harmed by this extreme poison.
From noble mtl dot com
Among the magical girls was Magenta Helios. What she was robbed of was time. This can be seen as better.
It would be difficult to have to live your life again from the beginning, but that’s because you’ve just been pushed back to the starting line, not over a cliff.
But here and now, it seemed like there was someone who had probably been robbed of something even more than that.
“I feel pity, but I don’t back down. “Walking this way means walking.”
Silver Luna was also lost, and she is fighting to fill that loss.
“…I’m going to turn.”
It’s going to spin, really.
