195 – Among the Names (7)
When the Watcher was persuading the Archer, September was trying her best to convince Jason.
“Come on! You too, join us! “Join us in the challenge!”
Jason couldn’t understand their madness.
Below, the fallen comrades were dying ceaselessly.
The power of each of Scorpio’s clones may not be enough for the main body, but it was enough to overwhelm most high-level monsters. Even against such an enemy, it would have been quite difficult for members of the organization to deal with a low-level monster.
They died without being able to inflict any damage on the scorpion’s clone.
Even the slightest swipe of the poison of loss took away his life. It’s a very unfair fight.
“Are you crazy? If we continue like this, won’t everything just end in vain?!”
It was a meaningless death.
“No! “Why is this a dog’s death?”
September denied it.
“Isn’t the death of a dog all about scratching one’s head like an asshole, scribbling on the Internet, and then getting into an accident on the day one goes out? If you can’t do anything, you’ll die just like the common deaths on the roadside. Huh? “That’s a dog’s death.”
A meaningless death should have been literally meaningless. To live without being able to die without any regrets in life, and then die one day due to an accidental misfortune. It leaves no meaning behind and contributes to the death statistics.
“But not us. We died trying! I resisted the inevitable and powerful enemy! Even if I failed, the fact that I tried doesn’t change. “Even though life up until now has been meaningless, even death is not meaningless!”
Most members of the Argo family are outcasts. The outcasts of society who were dying of failure in college or employment, failure in human relationships, or fear of even trying anything.
September promised them one thing.
I will give the meaning of death to those of you who had no meaning in life.
“And it wasn’t particularly meaningless, dude!”
Starlight rose from the bodies of dead gang members and was contained in the ship. The amount was greater than the amount the gang members had when they were alive.
Everything.
A miracle that allows us to share each other’s strength. That power becomes stronger as each person harbors the same thoughts and feelings.
It was a battle of wills.
People with different lives and nationalities became one in their will to face death.
The will of the dead was stronger than life, and the will of the person who actually faced death was passed on to the living.
It was closer to resentment than will.
It meant that the resentment of the dead was stronger than the will of the living. Unfortunately, there were some who were unable to reach the ship due to the scorpion’s venom and lost their will, but the starlight transmitted to the ship was more than that lost.
Light once again gathered in the ship’s cannon.
September looked happily at the scene and uncrossed his arms.
“I’m the youngest. “Do you know why I kicked you out?”
“That’s because I put this organization in danger.”
“Of course, that’s also true.”
The scorpion’s chest opened and a cannon appeared there as well. But for some reason it didn’t work properly.
“Then do you know why I became a sworn brother from the moment I first saw you?”
“It’s because you look lonely….”
“Of course it’s a gulag. Do you believe that? Then, I will throw all the people in the world into my organization.”
They may not have known it, but it was thanks to the damage inflicted by Botis’ final blow. Beyond tying it back into the form of a monster from the abyss
The wishes of the lost people were coming together one by one to create the loss of the scorpion.
“You may not have known it, but I was sure of it from the first time I saw you. “You are my alter ego.”
Jason couldn’t understand what September said.
“I was fundamentally different from my sworn brothers. Those guys were rebellious bastards wandering around the streets. As we talked, I thought we could communicate well, so I gave him a name and conveyed my strength. Thanks to this, both of them grew into high-level monsters with excellent constellations. But you are different. “He had the same power as me even if he didn’t receive my power.”
“What are you saying all of a sudden?”
“There’s nothing to think about, bastard.”
September took out a cigar, lit it, and pursed his lips.
“It means that you and I were originally one being, but then we split.”
Soon smoke came out of the cigar. A cloud of smoke rose and gradually faded.
“It seems like you don’t have any memories, but I know. In the past, there was a time when we gathered together many comrades and fought and plundered as we pleased. There was nothing I could call an enemy and there was nothing I hesitated about. I was very happy. Of course, I don’t know the details. It’s a dream-like memory. “It’s very dreamlike, vague.”
Smoke from the cigar flowed towards the scorpion.
“That guy must be the reason it happened like that. “The reason we split up and the reason the memories of the past disappeared.”
Dropping the cigar that had just smoked once, September conveyed his request.
“So, find out yourself.”
It was like a will, and it made Jason anxious.
“Why do you say that? “It doesn’t seem like a will.”
“The goal is grand, but the reality is sh*t. Unfortunately, with my current strength, I can’t properly deal with any of the three beasts. f*ck it.”
September laughed.
“I told you the story of the Taeseus ship before, youngest. Mechanical parts can be replaced, but he is not a gang member. It was the same for you too. You couldn’t be replaced either.”
The gang members raised daggers. September transformed his arm and made it into his cannon.
“Wouldn’t it be foolish to leave treasure lying around when you know the ship will sink? So I left it on land for a while. “So that it can become a souvenir symbolizing our voyage.”
The members pointed their daggers at my neck, and September aimed the cannon at my chin.
“Youngest child, you are our souvenir. This guy symbolizes that we took on the challenge here. So live. “Remember that we took a great step here today.”
If you can’t deal with it with your current strength, all you have to do is give it your all.
The regenerative abilities used by the executives of the Argo Family were also part of the miracle. Among those who share their lives, even if one person dies, they are treated as alive as long as the other person lives.
This too is a battle of will. If you do not have the will to live, there is no rebirth and you die.
However, if you are prepared to give up your life, that will is twice as strong as other decisions.
Because you give up to win while still being able to survive.
The starlight formed in this way has a light that transcends the star.
Quite the power of the galaxy.
“You see.”
The mass suicide began before Jason could stop it. Without hesitation, the gang members slit their throats and offered themselves as sacrifices, and the starlight from their corpses was concentrated in the central cannon.

“Tongue, brother, wait…!”
“I think you are making an illusion, so let me tell you one last thing: your power is not meant to make you lose your way. “Just like me.”
“Stop!”
Jason turned the belt. To redirect his shells. But it didn’t work.
“Your strength is unity.”
Rather, a roar poured out from his arm, which was aimed more perfectly. The shell lightly exploded his head.
Jason was the only one left on the ship.
The person who would set off the central cannon that was ready to fire was also one of them.
“…I understand.”
There was still a spark left in the cigar that September had thrown away. Jason approached the cannon and lit the cigar’s fuse.
“If that’s what you wanted.”
It wasn’t until the end that we stopped calling them brothers.
The fuse was completely shortened and the shell exploded.
**
Quaaa!!!
There are only a few people who can get a good night’s sleep in a city where roaring noises sound simultaneously like the sound of rain. Red Vega was one of them.
“Uh, uhm….”
He is in the worst condition because he was hit by the archer’s special move. Transformation is canceled. Just putting both arms on the ground makes my whole body shake.
[Guardian, don’t overdo it!]
Her mascot, Ribbon, tried to dissuade her, but when she heard this, she didn’t even bother and forced herself to stand up.
“…What is that?”
This is because she lost all focus on the creature in front of her. A huge body that is clearly visible from far away, and a window that is comparable to that huge body.
Although there was a hole in her chest, she did not feel the slightest sign of death. The hole in his chest was filling with something that looked like sticky mud, and the wound seemed to be getting on his nerves and he was going wild.
Not a single building survived in the vicinity, and an unknown ship floating in the sky was also crashing.
She must have passed out on the road, but she grabbed her mascot, forgetting why she was here or what the situation was.
[Now, wait! Calm down! Re-transformation after canceling the forced transformation….]
“Now is not the time.”
I knew it instinctively. That’s dangerous. Regardless of my understanding of the situation, I quickly realized that I couldn’t let it continue to run rampant.
What does it matter that retransformation is easy on the body? There are probably people who are suffering even more than that right now.
“Dress up.”
I didn’t even have the presence of mind to wake up Orange Altair, who was sleeping next to me.
She transformed again and flew towards the giant monster.
“Could that be… A scorpion?!”
The energy felt from that monster and the brightness of the stars. Magnificent ferocity. There was only one monster who felt this.
Scorpio’s monster.
I don’t know why the monster, which looked no different from a scorpion, became like that, but now was the time to move more than I thought.
“I’m going crazy… Were you sleeping at a time like this?”
Rebuking herself for being unconscious until now, she quickly scanned the ground below. She may have civilians who have not yet been evacuated.
What is more important than dealing with monsters is saving people. This is the most ironic rule that I have learned after being faced countless times.
It was Pink Deneb and Watcher who informed us of this. A retired senior and rival.
Thinking of my rival made me feel uneasy again. This is because, although he had clearly promised not to intervene in his crisis, he eventually reversed that decision.
Has declaring in front of you that you love him affected your heart?
‘Could it be that I have come to like it so much that I can’t tell between public and private…?’
Red Vega suppressed his distraught mind and focused on work again. He flew around, observing the roads and the remains of collapsed buildings.
“…Nothing?”
But strangely there were no people. If he had died, his body would have been left behind, but it was clean and without a single trace of blood. Of course, there were bodies that had suffered unfortunate accidents here and there, but even so, it was far less than the population of the city.
It feels like seeing a ghost town with no people from the beginning.
“It’s strange….”
While he was thinking like that, Red Vega saw someone sitting on a building and resting.
A monster wearing a pink wing suit. It was Odette.
“…Sister?”
I inadvertently called him by his everyday name and quickly corrected it.
“Oh, no. It’s the enemy… That’s the enemy…”
After brainwashing himself like that, he flew to Odette’s side. Odette sensed a presence and looked at Red Vega with wary eyes, but after confirming her identity, she muttered as if she felt relaxed.
“Who…! Ah… What is it? “Is it you?”
“Why don’t you be a little nervous? “I’m definitely an enemy too!”
“Yes… That’s true.”
Odette nodded her head.
“But that’s more urgent right now, damn it. What are you going to attack me? Don’t do that. “Because it’s so f*cking hard.”
Odette, pointing at the scorpion, looked very tired. I didn’t feel any strength in my body, as if I had just finished running a marathon.
Red Vega was able to immediately sense the reason.
A strangely empty city. That’s not just because the magical girl caused the evacuation. Odette herself evacuated them.
So that no one gets hurt in this city.
“That’s amazing.”
“Huh? What.”
Red Vega suddenly muttered her true feelings. I respected her.
She changed her decision several times, but she remained the same even now that she was no longer a magical girl. She wasn’t really sure anymore.
Will she be able to oppose them? If their identities are revealed to the media one day and they become enemies, will she be able to reveal her malicious intent towards them?
Having abandoned her past beliefs and goals of being undefeated, she is once again on the verge of abandoning her definition.
“Anyway, you can help too. “I have to kill that thing within today.”
With those words, Odette disappeared.
“…Yes.”
Why is it limited to today?
Her doubts were naturally resolved soon after.
White Davich can use magic that touches the line between her life and death.
Thanks to her
, She has the ability to see other people’s lives.
You have to be conscious when using it, so you don’t usually have to use it.
This is an ability that has never been revealed to anyone else, so most people don’t even know that they have such an ability.
Han Jae-joong, who read the original work, did not know that such a thing existed.
White Davih read someone else’s lifespan for the first time in a long time today. When she saw Helios’ youthful appearance, she became suspicious that he was actually an adult, so she wrote it.
But by chance, one person next to Helios also read it.
It was an Ursa Major monster who appeared a few months ago and called itself the Watcher, an eccentric monster that did not cause any harm to humans and only dealt with monsters and magical girls.
White Davich was quite surprised to read his lifespan.
“Are you okay over there?”
I help you all the time, so it’s stupid to doubt me. White Davich spoke to him in her friendly manner.
“What is it?”
The Watcher responded bluntly. To be exact, it was close to not having the strength to respond.
“You’re going to die in less than a day?”
“…How much is left?”
“Well, first of all, it looks like it’s almost 12 hours… But it’s consumed so quickly… If you roughly calculate it, it comes out to about 2 hours.”
“…Huh.”
Han Jaejoong laughed.
This is a technology that can truly change your lifespan. It felt real all over again.
2 Hours. It’s not even like watching a movie.
After these two hours, it will be decided whether the ending credits will go up or whether a sequel will be announced. Thinking like that, Han Jaejoong was so happy that he couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Is this how fans waiting for the sequel feel? Suddenly, I became a believer in life.
“It can be done in 2 hours.”
The only thing better than fans is that you can make the decision for a sequel possible through your own efforts. It’s a much better situation than just cheering endlessly.
Ignoring the impermanence of life he felt in his heart, he moved on again.
White Davih watched the advance with impressions.
Now, it will be of no use to you whether you lose or win, but you still go forward to defeat him.
That’s what the spirit of a mortal is. They ignore the survival instinct and profit and loss calculation that life would naturally feel.
It looked stupid and cool at the same time, so I was really impressed.
“I’m also a monster, so my way of thinking is different, isn’t it? What I want to do comes before my own life. “Every time I see it, I want to cum.”
If you feel something, it is a natural human habit to want to share it with others. In particular, White Davich’s specialty was conveying his emotions as they were, freely crossing his boundaries.
“…I see… I see.”
Therefore, he informed the fact to Red Vega, who joined late.
Because White Davich was kidnapped by Helios, he did not receive a call from Blue Sirius, so he does not know that if he defeats his scorpion, he can obtain the missing part.
“How long ago was that?”
“Was it about an hour before now? I don’t know because I don’t look at the clock!”
“Ah… That’s right….”
But Red Vega knows that.
Han Jaejoong knows that he can only survive if he defeats the scorpion.
The medicine to cure his illness is inside that monster, but it seems impossible to cut open the monster’s stomach and take out the medicine inside with just my current power.
“…Jaejoong.”
“…? “Why are you suddenly saying your name?”
“Oh, no, just… To calm my mind.”
“Suddenly? “Ho, by any chance, you like Jiknyeo’s older brother…!!”
Red Vega reflexively tried to deny it but closed his lips.
I couldn’t understand. The liking that White Davich is talking about now is heteros*xual. If she has already denied his rational love, then of course she will have to deny it to him as well.
For some reason… I couldn’t open my mouth easily.
“…Jiknyeo?”
“I’ll just go.”
Red Vega evaded his answer and flew into the sky.
My mind was complicated.
His love, which he should have denied, did not end properly, leaving room for room to be created.
As a magical girl, you must see him as an enemy. Even if a crisis arises, you should not provide active help, and your support should not be obvious. The position of being on the side of the citizens should not be confused.
Like a secret romantic relationship, you just have to trust that he will handle it well.
But I couldn’t do that now.
After a while, he dies. His heart was moved violently by the news.
I don’t like it.
I hate a world without him. I wish he would smile at me a little more, I wish he would wrinkle his eyebrows as if he is in trouble, I wish he would talk more, I wish I could caress that hard and warm body more.
Whether it is daily life or not, I want to be by his side, and I want to be his strongest enemy and most reliable collaborator.
I hope he asks me for help. I hope I can be the turning point in his life.
Just like he did to me.
In the case of unfinished love, the ellipses became too long, and new words were added instead of periods.
Someone I can’t kiss…..
At the same time, someone I don’t particularly want to kiss.
An ambiguous mind.
I had to name it clearly by now.
‘I’m sorry, sisters.’
Love and peace, within the borderline.
For now, I have chosen one.
Her flame became a flame, and beyond the flame, it became a heat wave.
“…What is it?”
Blue Sirius, who was dealing with the Scorpion clones, frowned with suspicion.
I was sweating. It’s not just because I’m tired. In an environment surrounded by ice, sweat dries quickly no matter how hard you work.
But now, strangely enough, I was sweating.
Although it was only a drop of sweat that fell on her hand, it was clearly an abnormal situation.
“Aha.”
Blue Sirius looked up at the sky and noticed the reason for the heat.
A girl burning brighter than the sun was flying in the sky.

“What is that….”
Orange Altair, who woke up later than Red Vega, was looking ahead in vain.
The sight of a huge monster appearing and destroying the city was a reality that even a magical girl found difficult to accept.
“…Hey.”
“Hi! “Yes, four?!”
Suddenly speaking from behind was quite fatal to her, who was currently trembling with fear.
Orange Altair looked behind her, answering with a confused voice.
“aaah!!!”
The person who defeated him. There was an opponent there who was more directly fearful than the scorpion.
The monster of Sagittarius.
“What, what! “If you’re here to take my breath away, I won’t treat you so harshly…!”
“You’re so scared.”
The archer looked down at Orange Altair, who woke up trembling all over, as if he were insignificant.
“Hey, why are you attacking me when you’re so scared?”
“…? “Well, that’s because I don’t want to die.”
“That’s the story now. If I were in the same situation, all I had to do was run away. No, you just have to run away when dealing with monsters in the first place. “Why don’t you run away from this situation where the sniper is so close?”
Orange Altair’s face became perplexed.
“Well, that is….”
She stuttered her words and chose her answer. The answer was the same as what Red Vega had said before.
“Because people… Have to be saved…?”
Even though she was born with a small stature and was able to focus on supporting her rear at the time of her contract, her magic girl consciousness was there.
No matter how scary she was, there was a reason she couldn’t back down.
“…Ha.”
The archer laughed.
Everyone has the qualifications to become a hero. Even a small child trembling with fear has the qualities of a hero and is here in front of him.
In the end, there was nothing to worry about.
“How many f*cking idiots have you done…”
It was clear what to do now.
“I wish there were more people like you.”
“…Yes? Oh, thank you…?”
Orange Altair honestly expressed her gratitude for her archer’s inexplicable compliment.
“You shoot with more starlight in your arrows. “If I have magic power like yours, there’s no problem.”
After the archer advised so, she withdrew.
There is only one place to go: to defeat that scorpion.
**
Even an attack in which all members of the organization sacrificed their lives did not work on the scorpions.
I just created a circular hole near her chest. It couldn’t cause death.
Desperate determination did not lead to mortal death.
Due to the scorpion’s rampage, the fallen ship was destroyed and lost most of its functions.
Jason picked himself up from the rubble and pondered the cause of the failure.
“Is it because I didn’t have the appropriate resolve…?”
Compared to the Argo Family’s determination, his own determination was lacking. The killing intent was not enough to continue that desperate quest.
“…I see. “I guess so.”
Jason did not blame himself. Instead, he decided to look at:
“Then, I guess I’ll have to be more specific next time.”
Next time, we will be safer so that no one dies.
But make sure you can kill him.
Jason recalled September’s will.
His own power.
Gather together.
“It’s time for unity…!”
Colleague is not a word limited to the Argo family.
Now is the time to collect it myself.
Alliance of Hell.
