212 – Confrontation
Sky Polaris lifted her long sleeves and covered her entire face. Is it because I don’t want to see Han Jaejoong die?
She hid her sad face as if she didn’t want to show it.
Action that blatantly goes against the quest. If you follow that warning, it wouldn’t be surprising if you died right now.
Jo Ayun also looked at Han Jaejoong’s movements with a solemn expression.
Is it because it is the world inside the belt? She was also able to hear the contents of the quest given to Han Jaejoong.
“…Oppa.”
Gulp. I swallowed quietly. Fear enveloped my body.
“It’s okay.”
However, Han Jaejoong’s expression was extremely calm.
Even though he knows that it wouldn’t be strange if he died right away.
“There’s no way I’m going to die from this.”
Han Jaejoong looked at Sky Polaris, which covered his face. He raised his eyebrows, imagining the face behind the sleeve.
“Isn’t it?”
When asked, Sky Polaris slowly lowered his sleeves. Her light blue eyes, which had been hidden by the hem of her cloth, were revealed for a glimpse.
It was beautiful every time I saw it. Extreme artificial beauty. A beauty that seems to have been created by cutting and pasting parts that would make people feel beautiful. The beauty was, conversely, most natural. In fact, the beauty of Sky Polaris was something that had never been faked.
The eyes that could so easily captivate a person were shining brightly at Han Jaejoong.
“….”
What was inside those eyes was not sadness, but ecstasy.
“It’s really cool….”
“Oh, f*cking crazy.”
Ayun Jo was scared when she saw that. Surely I don’t look at my brother like that sometimes, right? The look in his eyes was so pathetic that I suddenly thought that way.
Just by looking at the eyes, you can guess that even the face underneath them is full. Seeing that squirming look made me wonder if it was really all that dark that had been.
“That’s right. “Jaejoong, you’re really intelligent… The quest can’t kill you now.”
From noble mtl dot com
The belt that Han Jaejoong was holding his hand on overheated. As if it might explode at any moment.
“I will stop it before it happens.”
[Quest has been cancelled.]
[Quest has been cancelled.]
[Quest canceled….]
[….]
A mechanical sound was played from the belt. Han Jaejoong laughed when he heard the phrase cancellation.
“You said that you would save me, but he suddenly killed me because you didn’t listen? “It doesn’t make sense.”
It is a threat that does not work.
Because Han Jaejoong saw through this, he acted without the slightest hesitation.
Of course, even if he couldn’t penetrate it, he would have acted.
“I wouldn’t have thought that you, who prided yourself on knowing me well, would be able to stop me with this…”
The reason the system issued the quest was to force Han Jaejoong to take action.
This is to avoid world destruction and death by making people follow the path they want.
In most situations, the price of death is effective.
However, in rare circumstances, the price of death is not effective.
This is the case with madmen who have values beyond the survival instinct, which is the most core instinct of living things.
People chosen by the stars are generally like that. A man named Han Jae-joong is also an expedient person, but he chose the star and was chosen for it.
Anyone who knows him well would never think that he would calmly comply in the current situation.
“Then why did you bother to give me the quest now?”
Why did Sky Polaris, who has observed Han Jaejoong’s life countless times and knows him better than he does, bother to issue a quest?
“What was the reason for my resistance? “What is the meaning of this act?”
Based on the regression so far, Sky Polaris would have given meaning to every small action.
There is no reason for her, who knows better than anyone else that tens of thousands of possibilities can be derived from a single small step, to make such an action meaningless.
“What do you want to do?”
Sky Polaris chuckled without looking away from his sharp eyes even for a moment.
“Well~ why?”
It may be sad news for Han Jae-joong.
‘There is no such thing.’
There was nothing like that.
‘Jaejoong is really cute too~ I just wanted to see you looking cool. If you think about it, the reason is quite simple. Wow, that’s the guy I caught. He’s always cool. Even your rebellious eyes are dignified….’
Sky Polaris was hiding his excitement behind a suspicious eye smile.
This is a scene that repeats itself with every regression after crossing the line.
Of course, I was sincere when I first tried it.
But after that, I just wanted to see the scenes I had seen before again. Would you say it feels like replaying a famous scene?
‘The sight of someone taking on a challenge even at the risk of death touches a person’s heart…’
Sky Polaris was originally of a shabby nature. Calculation, intrigue, and stratagem. He was a person who was apart from things like this.
He said that he left a dangerous machine that could turn a person into a monster in front of the child and left the room for a while.
But people change.
Situation overwhelms nature. The habit of thinking and acting roughly had to be abandoned after intuiting the destruction of the world.
It comes back to life like this sometimes.
It was true that he had attempted an unnecessary restraint in order to enjoy his ecstatic experience, but it was not as if he had no particular plan behind it.
‘Now let’s just watch the transformation scene… It will be time to share some deep skinship with Jaejoong. Hmm, should I think about what lines to say in advance? More suspiciously like a dark side? Um… No, maybe it would be better to show some affection this time? Uh… Would you rather keep your mouth shut? It’s difficult….’
They fail to resist anyway.
This space is a gap in the world that Sky Polaris created by pouring all of her magical talents into it. A place where all possibilities intersect and all possibilities can be observed.
It is easy to suppress their behavior.
The problem is what happens after that.
‘Let’s do our best so that Jaejoong doesn’t commit suicide.’
Han Jae-joong commits suicide after being unable to withstand reality.
After being subdued by Sky Polaris, Han Jae-joong became cool-headed and accepted that this whole tragedy happened because of him. Unable to overcome his feelings of guilt, boredom, and fatigue, he commits suicide.
He had not even received healing from Red Spica in the first place and was on the verge of death. It must be devastating to have to live his whole life in such a state, bored and without any sense of accomplishment.
Most branches failed because of this.
‘This time, I have Ayun and watercolors.’
But that mostly happened when he was lonely.
If you have someone around you to help you calm down and be saddened by your suicide, your chances of making that tragic choice go down significantly.
People change.
The mind changes here and there just by changes in the surrounding environment and situation. The influence of genetics is only faint in the face of environmental factors.
A child of a sinner can become a hero depending on the environment in which he or she grows up, and a child of a hero can also become a rare villain.
Possibilities are open to everyone.
Nothing is impossible.
This was the unchanging belief in Sky Polaris, whose mind had changed countless times.
‘How hard was it to get here….’
Ahn Su-chae, from securing the Red Spica and putting it in the belt, to making Jo Ayun come to meddle here now. There were considerable hardships before realizing these two possibilities.
In the case of the first Red Spica, it is better. It was a simple thing to drive crazy. When your mentality is shaken, you can give them an opportunity to go completely crazy (or let them know that all their good deeds are meaningless).
The reason why he was made into a monster is simple.
Only by becoming a monster can the Watcher decide to kill Red Spica. No matter how many stories there are, if there are sins committed, the Watcher only pities them and does not forgive them.
I feel the same way toward Sky Polaris now.
The problem is that her thoughts must fit inside the belt. This was almost completely random.
Red Spica’s healing ability is quite easy, allowing Han Jae-joong’s body, which was significantly damaged through repeated transformations and battles, to be used for a longer period of time.
It was her presence that took care of his body, which began to deteriorate very quickly after Ursa Major.
If you fail to catch the thought in the starlight, it is quick to start again from the beginning. This is because most people die suddenly before even realizing their lifespan.
Next is whether Jo Ayun will appear now.
When kidnapping Han Jaejoong like now, it is not easy to guess that he is inside this belt, and it is not easy to bring him into this belt either.
It was impossible in the first place when one had not awakened one’s divinity, and in most cases, the brain burns out while forcibly connecting one’s senses to the belt and one dies.
It means that it is a very rare thing to appear like this.
So, Sky Polaris was also desperate.
‘It all has to stop here.’
Because I had to seize this rare opportunity.
Actually, I already know the ending.
In the end, Jo Ayun and Han Jaejoong give up.
The world is momentarily confused by their disappearance, but soon returns to normal.
The beast of Ophiuchus will cease its activity in the sky,
Contradiction will later be killed in a surprise attack by someone who has a grudge against him.
Red Vega misses Han Jae-joong all his life and becomes distant from the awakening of Supernova.
Although Blue Sirius wanders and becomes a monster due to the disappearance of Jaejoong Han and Ayun Jo, this does not become a crisis of the level of destruction of the world.
Many other crises remain, but there is no need to deal with them.
Because only the people in reality can handle it on their own.
A representative example is Jason’s runaway, which Amundsen would block.
All nearby crises have been eliminated.
To lead everyone to a future where everyone is unhappy but safe, Sky Polaris slowly raised its starlight.
Flowing. The azure body flew through the sky.
This world itself is her starlight.
That’s why she now has almost infinite power.
The ecstasy in Sky Polaris’ eyes disappeared for a moment, and coolness appeared.
His omniscient vision looked down on everything.
“Come and see.”
Han Jae-joong and Jo A-yoon lifted the belts.
“It must be crazy to fight the belt creator. Anyway. “You have to see what you have to see.”
“Are you ready to die with the power you created?”
They raised their fingers and pointed at her and shouted at the same time.
“Transformation.”
“Transformation!!”
[ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATION.]
Han Jaejoong’s body was slowly covered with white light.
[I obey my fate.]
To resist the woman who has been controlling her life.
[URSA MAJOR.]
Ursa Major, befitting its name, is wearing white beast-like armor.
[Deneb!]
[Denebola!]
[Deneb Kaitos!]
[Deneb Algedi!]
[Deneb Dulfim!]
Five different stars were tied together and wrapped Jo Ayun in pink.
[CONSTELLATION OBSERVATION!]
Other stars that were not originally supposed to come together came together to form a constellation.
[Are You Ready?]
Ready to fight is over.
[CASSIOPEIA!]
A butterfly flew with the name of the constellation Cassiopeia, which reaches up to the North Star.

“What… Is happening?”
In the place where even Odette disappeared, other people arrived one after another. They looked at the empty seat with puzzled expressions.
“Odette, that guy is the benefactor… Oh, no, he must have taken out the Watcher! He ran away! They lost their work because the lion disappeared! Ugh… I never thought I’d hit a player…!”
Silver Luna was indignant when the Watcher and Odette disappeared at the same time. Their disappearance was interpreted as an escape.
It was an interpretation based on the memory of Odette’s vehement refusal to join Silver Luna’s companions just before the fight with the lion.
“Running away….”
Contradiction, who had naturally joined them, muttered heavily.
“How long do you plan to stay together?”
“Until this question is resolved.”
Helios frowned at him and Contradiction shrugged his shoulders slyly.
“Get out! “I still remember what you did by manipulating the scorpion…!”
“I remember you too. Silver Luna.”
“That’s not what it sounds like…!”
“Stop stopping there. Princess. You are tired “If you fight any longer, you will only lose.”
The fact that a monster was accompanying them here was very annoying, but unfortunately, the magical girls had no time to fight any longer.
It was the aftermath of a long confrontation with the galactic beast.
“…That’s enough. “Let’s go back and take a look.”
Blue Sirius, who was the most injured among them, sighed as he held his burn-marked arm.
“There’s really no reason to care about these monsters, right?”
It was true, but Sirius’ voice as he spoke those words was slightly shaking.
The anxiety I always felt was stronger today.
“Why is everyone so concerned about these monsters? Huh? These are the monsters that always come and go. Of course, I understand that it is a variable that cannot be left carelessly. But that doesn’t mean it’s too much to take care of their disappearance here.”
Blue Sirius sighed again after speaking quickly.
“No, that’s enough. I need to rest for a bit before reporting. First, let’s go to Baekho for a while…”
“Hey, Sirius, let’s start at the hospital…”
“Vega, I just want to rest for now?”
When Red Vega said something else with concern, Blue Sirius responded sharply and dismissed her concerns.
“…Sorry, I’m a little sensitive. A wound like this will heal quickly. “I want to rest for a bit first.”
Why did you choose a cafe as a resting place, and why did you choose the place where Han Jae-joong was during the disappearance of Watcher and Odette?
There were a lot of things he wanted to ask, but Red Vega held back.
“Well, then we’ll be doing further investigation here, so you’ll be done with it…”
“Why do you keep staying?!”
Blue Sirius’ voice became sharper.
“You guys should go too… Why do you keep paying attention to these monsters?”
“Well, that is….”
“Are you still that rival Taryeong? Vega. Stop escaping from that fantasy now. “Monsters are not beings worthy of emotional connection.”
“Well, that might not be the case….”
“Silver Luna, you too. Why do you keep obsessing over one monster? Are they just fickle beings? He might change at any moment and harm your family! “Just like what happened to me!”
The voice overflowing with anger gradually became watery.
“Unless there is someone who can change their appearance into a monster… That is impossible. Huh? Guys. Everyone.”
Blue Sirius looked around. Red Vega’s pupils were slightly dilated. Blue Sirius did not miss that.

“…Vega, why do you look like that?”
“Uh, sister, that’s….”
“Right? You think so too, right? “It doesn’t make sense.”
“Well, that is….”
“When I heard it, I heard it, but what you said was harsh! “My benefactor does not harm my family!”
“Now you’ve revealed your true nature!”
“Yes! Revealed! What should I do?”
Even in the midst of all the shouting, Red Vega seemed anxious and glanced at the belt that had fallen to the ground.
‘Doesn’t everyone know…?’
The biggest sense of discomfort I am feeling right now.
‘It seems like the magic energy keeps getting sucked out here?’
The mana is being sucked into the belt. I have that feeling.
Just like the power that Virgo uses.
