200 – A Woman’s Heart
After shaking his thumb a couple of times, White Davich suddenly became cool and crossed his arms.
“Does my Jiknyeo know that?”
“You mean Red Vega?”
Han Jaejoong released his transformation. It was a transformation just for show. Even if you maintain it for no reason, it will only shorten your lifespan.
“Yes, that’s right… Oh, it has decreased.”
“f*ck you.”
How much are you eating? Jaejoong Han thought deeply about the swear words about transformation.
“Don’t be too upset! It won’t be noticeable anyway! Ah. It may be a bit noticeable by your standards! So, does Jiknyeo know?!”
“Oh, I know.”
“Eh.”
White Davih stiffened as if he had not expected it.
“Of course you wouldn’t know….”
“Although he claims to know nothing, he is fully aware of my identity and circumstances.”
“Is that so….”
Apart from the issue of Han Jae-joong’s identity or lifespan, Baek A-hee seemed quite fine. We ate normally, drank tea, and talked.
By White Davih’s standards, this was a somewhat incomprehensible action. It must be sad news for her who followed Han Jaejoong so well that she was jealous, so why doesn’t she show it out loud…?
Are people like that in nature? Even if something sad happens, is it normal to hide it and pretend like nothing happened?

Hmm. White Davih, who was worried with a serious expression, soon stopped worrying. If you ask yourself later, it’s a simple matter.
“Is this all you have to do today?”
“Well… That’s the main point.”
“Aha, I see. Well then, let’s disband now. “I’ll just leave.”
“Hey, wait a minute.”
Han Jaejoong grabbed White Davih’s wrist. She hadn’t yet unraveled her transformation, so the baby wasn’t even able to pull her hand. Jaejoong Han was dragged backwards by White Davich, who did not stop her steps.
“…? Are you okay. Build more strength. “It’s a waste of size.”
He wrapped his hand around Han Jaejoong’s waist and held him as he was about to fall. She White Davikh’s eyebrows were bent into a nasolabial shape.
“How can an ordinary person defeat a magical girl?”
“You’re not an ordinary person, are you? “Where has the strength that you showed me before to cut open a head like a tofu go?”
“Now, my strength is the same as that of an ordinary person.”
“Eh, it’s not fun. I’m sure he could make a matchless film with the body of an ordinary person… Oh, that’s right. “Why did you call me?”
Are you serious? Han Jaejoong sighed deeply.
“You didn’t hear the answer to your request.”
“Ah~ I’m sorry. “I thought you answered.”
White Davich nodded her head with an exclamation. She understood why she had been called. She immediately forgot her original purpose because she wanted to answer Baek Ah-hee’s curiosity.
There were no worries. Without the slightest hesitation or breath, White Davich answered immediately.
“Good. “I will take your heart.”
Eyes as white as bone powder stared at him as if swallowing him. The pupils are pale and look creepy at first glance. Those eyes were curved like a crescent moon. Smile. Pure white teeth were exposed and reflected in the sunlight that penetrated through the cracks of the abandoned building. It sparkled.
The eerily white face shone like a glass bead. It was the purest and most transparent face that Han Jaejoong had ever seen.
A solid purity that cannot be stained with dirt or stains. The smile of the girl with such a thing on her face was truly reassuring and scary.
“I’m really… Looking forward to it.”
Eyes like a pure animal, without social or ethical lines. Han Jaejoong muttered uneasily, slightly avoiding White Davih’s eyes.
“I’m not saying you should get it right away…?”
“Hey, what are you looking at me for! Of course I will keep my promise!”
He raised his finger and pointed above his head. A place where his lifespan is written and only White Dabih can see. He twirled his finger as if drawing a circle around it.
“I will literally take it right before I die.”
Then he drew a few lines with his fingers and smiled. It was probably a representation of numbers.
“5 Minutes ago. How is it?”
“That’s okay.”
Actually, if I wanted to, I would like to kill him after more than 5 minutes, but I have to consider various possibilities. The most realistic time is to start killing after 5 minutes.
“And one more thing.”
“Is there something else?”
“I told you before we met. Let’s meet in secret. Of course, everything we talk about here is a secret. “Don’t tell anyone.”
“Eh.”
White Davih stiffened once again.
“Ji, Jiknyeo! Isn’t it okay to talk to Jiknyeo? “There’s something I want to ask…”
“Oh? Umm, aheera….”
He is an ambiguous person. Baek Ah-hee is a person of interest who does not know all the circumstances, but generally knows. If a sense of justice did not keep the center of one’s behavior, one would display abnormal behavior for a day.
‘Her sense of justice is as strong as yours….’
They would be reluctant to use technology that uses people after they die. The promise I made with Haru could be canceled. Furthermore, there is a possibility that he may become obsessed with being the only one who kills the Watcher…
“No.”
After organizing his thoughts, Han Jaejoong immediately refused.
“Eh~ Why! Why!”
“No matter what, if it doesn’t work, it won’t work!”
In some ways, he is the person of the week for more than a day. Plans must never be leaked.
“I have a question!”
“What is it?”
“Why was I able to remain fine even after knowing about Haengnim’s circumstances? “Isn’t it normal to get emotional when you hear news like that?”
I think I know that I am not normal.
“That’s right. Actually, Ahee wasn’t that fine either. “I just didn’t show it in front of you.”
“Is that so…?”
“Okay. “That’s it.”
“Still, I’m curious. Isn’t a magician definitely an enemy to a magical girl? On the other hand, you’re also a cafe guy I know well, right? What do ordinary people feel when such a being approaches death? What do you think?”
“That’s….”
Han Jaejoong was unable to answer as he was choosing his words. This is because he was unable to give a definitive answer to the feelings and thoughts of others, not even his own.
“Um… That’s….”
“You don’t know either, right?! Then, please let Haeng know!”
Chuck. White Davih raised his finger and pointed at Han Jaejoong.
“My Jiknyeo’s feelings!”
**
“Haa….”
In a cafe with no customers, Jo Ayun sighed deeply. After ego searching, there was a rush of emotion along with the hit.
“I’m back.”
“…Are you here?”
It was a regret. When she saw Han Jaejoong’s face, a sigh came out of her mouth again.
“Ugh….”
“It’s not like looking at a person’s face and sighing. “I’m hurt.”
“I’m not doing that because of you. “You’re saying that because of me.”
After the Scorpion commotion ended, ambivalent feelings dominated Jo Ayun. Proud to have saved the most people during the fight so far. It was possible to demonstrate the miracle of mass evacuation without using black dwarfs.
But paradoxically, it brought about a crisis for those closest to him.
“That’s why I went today.”
Lifespan.
Han Jaejoong’s life was no better than before. He is getting closer to death every day. He is not living, he is dying.
That life could be likened to the longest suicide.
One of the causes was Jo Ayun. He blew a crucial opportunity to extend the length of that life.
“It’s because of me. Are you blaming yourself strangely again?”
“Oh f*ck, I feel guilty~!!”
“Why are you angry…?”
Of course, this is what Han Jaejoong requested.
Return the loss to the scorpion’s victim.
One of the victims had a life-threatening contradiction. It was Cheonqiu’s regret that he could not steal this away.
The reason was not that it was difficult to determine the lifespan of a single contradiction while tens of thousands of butterflies were flying at once. In the first place, such an act itself was impossible.
Everything to the owner. This is because the miracle that unfolded was not an individual trial, but a single trial.
“I feel guilty and my heart is heavy because I feel like I have committed a deadly sin, so my brother is quick to abuse me! “Punish me so that I can feel less guilty!”
“You’re out of your mind….”
“Kwaaa!!”
It was not an individual trial that could identify each butterfly, but a single trial called ‘Butterflies that connect the owners of loss.’
That’s why it was impossible in the first place. It was not a structure that could extend Han Jae-joong’s lifespan.
It was a golden opportunity to fight contradictions and scorpions…!!
Again. Snapping. Jo Ayun gritted his teeth. He was tired of just saying nice things and asking around to erase this guilt.
Never say, ‘Whether you do something good or not, aren’t you a monster in the end? It’s not because I was hurt by seeing malicious comments like ‘A statement of conviction~’.
“Come on! Hurry up and hit me in the face! “If I give you your left cheek, kick your right cheek as hard as you can!”
“If you do that because of the difference in physique between you and me, I’ll be in trouble right away.”
“aaah! Why are you doing this to me! Don’t be nice to me! “I am a sinner!”
“…Would you like me to treat you kindly?”
“Hey, hey! A sharp look typical of a person with a bad impression! Ah… Bad memories….”
“What should I do….”
Han Jaejoong actually suffered from guilt seeing Jo Ayun suffering from such guilt.
Isn’t it because of his own request that he suffers from such guilt?
The bad thing in the first place is the monster and system that forces us to fight, so why should the two of us, the victims, suffer?
The wheel of hell has been completed in which the more we see each other, the more we feel guilty about each other.
“It’s going to turn.”
“Turn…? What, my brother’s life? A life that is no different from slow suicide…?”
“You’re good at literary interpretation, our Ayun.”
“Heh. If you reverse suicide, you say ‘let’s live’…? Then why don’t you turn this rotten world over…!”
“Our Ayun passed away first.”
I am starting to see Jo Ah-yoon as I was in my second year of middle school. Feeling serious, Han Jaejoong tried to change the topic because he also did not want to suffer.
“Instead of thinking like that, let’s think of something good. “We need to make positive plans for the future.”
It wasn’t something someone who had completed a contract to become a zombie before dying would say. Originally, people were basically naeronambul.
“Ah… Yes, that’s right.”
Jo A-yoon staggered up from the desk and showed the screen of his cell phone. On the screen, a messenger app window that I shared with someone was displayed.
“I asked that Altarimu bastard for a favor. “Please find the monster called contradiction.”
“To Mr. Altair?”
“It’s so humiliating, but… It’s the best I can do.”
It is definitely humiliating.
A message is plastered with ‘ㅋ’ letters on the screen and is longer than three lines.
‘I can’t help it if our cute Ayun asks for it. It’s cute, it’s cute^^ It was one message that said, ‘Did you want my power that much?’
Although the tone was a bit odd, it was an expression of helping.
“Can we just find the contradiction and suggest the game again?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I could immediately understand why I was looking for contradictions. Although it was humiliating, he was the only one who could use the strange technique of increasing lifespan.
“This bastard’s locating ability is at least useful, so I had no choice but to ask for it… Ah, it’s a bit like that.”
“….”
“Oh, that’s not it! Of course I would do anything for my brother! Then! “I don’t mind one or two humiliating things!”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“What I did was work! I never asked for praise or anything like that! “Because this is what I have to do!”
Even if I didn’t ask for it, it would be nice to receive it. Han Jaejoong stroked Jo Ayun’s head.
“That’s right, you did a good job.”
“This is what happened? “I did what I had to do… ehehehe.”
“You’re so cute.”
It was very Jo Ayoon-like to not throw away his hand even though he said it was done. Han Jae-joong patted Jo Ayun, as if he was petting a cat that was curling up its body.
Different reactions despite saying the same thing. How much do you hate Orange Altair? Han Jaejoong became curious.
“Be friendly with your friends.”
“He’s not my friend.”
“Then make some.”
“I don’t need friends.”
“Is my second year of middle school illness really not cured yet?…”
When I was thinking like that, the doorbell rang.
Han Jae-joong quickly removed his hand from Jo Ayun’s head and picked up the broom, and Jo Ayun quickly touched the cup on the counter seat. He was working hard without doing anything else and greeting his guests with a group.
“Welcome… Ah, Seolhwa, are you here?”
“Yes. I’m here.”
The identity of the guest was Yun Seol-hwa. There was no call to say it was coming. Rather, I was happier because it was an unexpected meeting without any contact. Han Jaejoong’s mouth brightened.
Accordingly, Yun Seol-hwa, who was standing in front of the door, waved his hand. Honey was dripping from his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were relaxed to the point where you couldn’t imagine his usual cool appearance.
If it had a tail, it would have waved as if it had a motor.
“It’s been a while~”
As Han Jae-joong approached a little, Yun Seol-hwa stopped waving his hand, swallowed slightly, and then mustered up the courage to move forward.
She spread her arms slightly and took her steps cautiously. It was a sign of hugging.
“Well… It’s been a while.”
There have definitely been fewer meetings recently. After November’s runaway, the Scorpion incident broke out one after another, so Yoon Seol-hwa, who reigns supreme among magical girls, was overworked every day.
In the meantime, how painful it must have been to not be able to meet the person who was the only reward in life.
You can’t just turn away someone who took the time to visit you. Han Jaejoong welcomed her with her arms spread wider than her Yoon Seolhwa opened hers.
To anyone, it may seem like a reunion of separated families, but it’s been a little more than two weeks since we haven’t seen each other. We even met Han Jaejoong in the form of a monster, so considering that, it is even shorter.
However, it has been a long time since the person concerned was in the mood. If you don’t know, sympathize.
As they were about to share such an emotional hug, the shadow behind Yun Seol-hwa moved. She was so focused on Yun Seol-hwa that she didn’t see her guest who came in with her.
“Eight.”
Baek Ah-hee raised her eyes and hugged Han Jae-joong as if she was slightly dissatisfied. It was a gesture that separated Yun Seol-hwa.
“Can’t you see me? What about greetings for me? Mr. Jaejoong, you are so kind….”
Innocent gestures and tone of voice, without the slightest dark intention. A slightly playful courtesy, as if you were treating a close friend of the same s*x.
But the person receiving the hug, Han Jaejoong, noticed. The fact that Baek Ah-hee is now secretly rubbing her stomach area against her body.
It is a threat. Threats to do better to me.
‘…What is it?’
It must have been a car before. It would have been labeled as just a human favor.
A streak of cold sweat ran down Han Jaejoong’s back. He raised his head for a moment and looked at Yun Seol-hwa. Unlike before, his eyes became cold. If it had a tail, it would have been droopy.
“Oh, no, Seolhwa, this is….”
“Hmm? Jaejoong, can’t you see me?”
He even stopped talking to me. Something is strange. Baek Ah-hee isn’t the kind of girl who doesn’t pay attention to this much.
“Yes? “I am~”
Han Jae-joong swallowed his saliva and looked at Baek A-hee again.
I slightly sympathized with why White Davih was particularly curious about Baek A-hee’s psychology.
‘I don’t know…!’

What is this woman’s heart? I can’t feel where she is.
**
A dark street. Dark Matter. A more shadowy place in the city of monsters, cut off from human touch.
Mosun smiled as if he was interested as he looked at the shadows of many people surrounding him.
“Oh my.”
“You crossed a lot of lines. Contradiction.”
Among them, Libra, wearing golden armor, shined brightly even in the shadows. A hideous golden color. It was a foul golden color with the oily smell characteristic of rotten capitalists.
“You’re bringing an animal. What is that? All my precious test subjects almost disappeared. “If it had not ended within that day, this Dark Matter would not have been safe.”
Libra was very dissatisfied with the fact that Contradiction brought the scorpion to this land. He only considered his own safety and worked without thinking about the rest.
This was something that could not be tolerated by Libra, who thought about her justice and fairness.
“I will bring judgment on you.”
Mosun looked around. Monsters who are different from Libra except in their color and look exactly the same surround themselves in a circle.
“You will be sacrificed here in this place.”
“Hee, hee hee… Is it okay if I just leave?”
The one who made this possible was the Gemini monster. It was his ability to create alter egos.
“Indeed… Your head is spinning too.”
Everyone is a self-immolation. Contradiction thought so. A cowardly Libra who thought of her own safety first would not have done such a foolish thing as throwing away her life.
All of the clones have syringes of unknown origin in their hands.
“Since we can’t kill him in the first place, we will brainwash him with drugs?”
An opponent that cannot be defeated in a head-on confrontation. That’s why I chose majority and poison. If any of these syringes touch you, you will be defeated.
I didn’t know the identity of the syringe, but I was sure of the contradiction.
“It’s a good choice. I also respect your choice. “No one wants to fight when they are sure they will lose.”
Cracked. Contradiction dented the place where he stepped.
“Me too. “I hate losing.”
Contradiction held her spear tightly and adjusted her posture. His right eye lit up.
Principle of contradiction. He recognized all the monsters here as his enemies. Accordingly, all the enemy’s starlight was overlaid on contradiction.
“Let’s go for it.”
Boom! The ground was overwhelmed by everyone.
Two starlights collided.
