214 – A journey of hardship
Red Vega saw. That starlight is moving in a specific direction.
Among them, only the clean and clear brilliance unique to magical girls is moving. The intensity of the light is so weak that it is difficult to notice, but it is certain.
Magic power is flowing into the belt.
“I will never be on the same side as a monster!”
“How can you be so full of prejudice! Of course, I also hate monsters… But he is an exception!”
Blue Sirius and Silver Luna were no exception. Their magic power was also being taken away.
“…What is it?”
Red Vega muttered curiously and looked around.
In the meantime, I made eye contact with Helios. Meeting Red Vega’s curious gaze, she looked down at her belt and nodded.
It seems like she noticed it too.
Red Vega swallowed her saliva again and looked down at her belt.
‘What happened…?’
The Watcher, Odette, and the lion’s sudden disappearance. But the Watcher’s belt remains intact. And the belt is suddenly absorbing the magic power of magical girls.
“There are no exceptions! “What if someone gets hurt?”
“That’s….”
“Our mission is to kill monsters! “I’m not talking to a monster!”
Even on the same side, a dispute arose due to differences in attitude.
“Contradiction! You are no exception… Where have you gone?”
“So…?”
The contradictions that existed before suddenly disappeared.
“Well, that’s not it. Listen, everyone. There’s something unusual.”
“Yes, I know. Magical girls’ sense of security is gradually fading. “If this were revealed to the media, everyone would be criticized.”
“That’s not it…!”
“Is there anything more important than that right now?”
Blue Sirius’ attitude was stubborn.
“There is no enemy here now. You don’t want to spend your whole life in Dark Matter, do you? “It’s best to go back, rest, and then analyze today’s anomalies.”
He was stubbornly evasive.
Blue Sirius did his best to look away from the anxiety creeping up his back. As always, it is the same today.
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have an after-party at Ayun’s cafe. How about two Japanese people go there too? I’m sure it will be okay. Ah, Jaejoong knows how to make cocktails, so I’m sure I’ll be satisfied…”
I also wondered why his name kept coming up.
I was puzzled by many things, but right now I just wanted to get away.
“Wait a minute. There are still too many uncertain facts. I wonder if the real lion’s advance is over. Lions have always been animals that come and go. “Is it really the right decision to step away from here?”
Helios’ point was valid. However, he was not able to persuade Blue Sirius with enough persuasive power to change his decision.
The conversation draws parallel lines.
Witnessing this disturbing scene, Red Vega turned his eyes to the belt.
‘I don’t know why they took my magic power, but…’
I quietly closed my eyes and desperately wished.
‘If my power can be of help, please use it anywhere…!’
And, please show up.
‘I really, really, really want to see you…!!’
**
A bleak wind caressed the vast world. There were many colors in the wind. Sometimes it was red, sometimes it was blue. A cool breeze of gorgeous natural colors.
At the center where the wind was heading, there was a white flash without any color.
The wind surrounded the flash, turning the white into various colors. It looked as if something with a will was embracing the light.
‘It’s the most I can give right now.’
I can feel a form in the formless wind.
‘I’ll leave it to you.’
It looked somewhat similar to a human shape.
“…Is it watercolor?”
Sky Polaris muttered that.
“Did you draw the magic power of magical girls from outside?”
It is not impossible.
Although Sky Polaris disintegrated the materialized Red Spica back into starlight, it was not murder.
It is nothing more than the realization of magic using only her starlight.
The thoughts remain.
“No, that’s… okay. Because it was like that. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, but…”
This level of variables had already been predicted.
It is a rare but possible possibility that magical girls arrive near the belt and that Red Spica draws their power and passes it on to Han Jaejoong.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, but…”
I should have done that.
“Something is strange.”
Pajijik. A spark flew. All the wind gathered in the circular, transparent valve located near the heart and began to circulate.
All the natural colors came together endlessly, and before we knew it, it was getting close to black.
That night sky, where there are mysterious lights here and there. Light like the universe.
The starlight that became black began a cycle with the will of white.
Black and white rotated to form Taegeuk.
“Ayoon… What have you done…?”
Countless colors? The number of magical girls out there is limited. No matter how much you collect, it won’t heat up. That should be it, but what is that number?
An unbelievable number of magical powers are gathering.
The impossible happened.
Confusion arose in the eyes of Sky Polaris, which was always stable. On one hand, I was embarrassed, and on the other, I was ecstatic.
The moment when the impossible turns into the possible is always thrilling.
“What did you do?…”
Infinitely powerful power emerged from the circulating ring of starlight.
The dead wind soon turned into a storm, and a thunderous sound like a roar rang out from the rising clouds. The ground cracked, and rain poured down from the sky.
The solemn and cruel sounds of nature, like the sound of a bell that heralds the coming of God.
A mysterious flow of the universe.
He rose from the center.
From noble mtl dot com
The shape does not look right.
It is covered in something like an ominous fog.
It is not even clear what color he has now, what kind of weapon he has, whether he has a weapon in the first place, and whether his current form is human or monster. Only a blurred image is visible.
It is difficult to recognize.
“This is how… It became cool.”
I have never seen him like that. It’s still the same now. Even in her eyes as she observes countless parallel worlds, it is unique.
Not observed.
Not in any world.
Visible only here, now, at this time. Movement of stars.
“You always make my heart beat when it stops!”
Even though the person is already dead, my heart can still flutter like this. Sky Polaris grabbed my heart.
I felt like I could feel the beating of my heart in the ghostly subject that remained only a thought.
“Okay! I love it!”
Sky Polaris praised him with open arms, without any sign of hiding his excitement.
“Now, come to me quickly!”
My vision was dizzy. It’s not just about excitement. This is because the eyes that were always observing countless possibilities became strained.
Maybe that’s why I can’t see the future properly.
Breathing becomes rough. The anxiety of not knowing the future. When did I feel this fear?
Now even this fear and pain were nothing more than spices that made this day feel more special.
“Stand on the sky!”
He took a step closer.
There was no bird to recognize. No, even if we had predicted it from the beginning, we wouldn’t have been able to prevent it. That kind of speed.
“Ah….”
Sky Polaris let out a small exclamation.
The gathering of lights that were more ominous than anything else in the world now seemed sacred to her eyes.
There is hope here.
I wanted to scream like that.
He approached and threw his fist. It hit her heart without stopping.
Kwaang-!! Sky Polaris frowned as she flew through the air, feeling pain for the first time in a long time. Nevertheless, a smile was still in full bloom at the corner of her mouth.
Her body flew through the air for a long time and rolled on the ground mercilessly. I can’t breathe. It feels like something is stuck around her chest, preventing her from breathing.
“uuu66668866]
She had barely regained her breathing and was struggling to breathe.
When I came to my senses, he too came around.
“Ahahahaha… I never thought we would lose so badly. “I couldn’t even imagine.”
Blood is flowing from the corner of the mouth. Sky Polaris was nothing more than a materialization of her thoughts. It is no different from a tangible ghost. In addition, there is infinite magical power created by linking with the world itself.
He beat her up like this.
It was just amazing.
“But Jaejoong… Don’t forget. “You have now chosen the most difficult path…”
I definitely don’t see a future related to that right now.
But this is the only hopeful future that Jo Ayun observed just now as she spread her wings.
The memory of seeing that possibility still remained vivid in my mind.
“This is the path to accepting all the misfortunes that could befall you….”
It was the most difficult path.
An exceptional level among parallel worlds so far. Every misfortune that can befall a person is experienced.
“It will never be easy… But you must not give up.”
Sky Polaris’ breathing gradually becomes shorter. At the same time, her mind is also becoming clouded. The world she was connected to began to fall apart as well.
She is the system itself. Quests will not be issued in the future, but at the same time, many of the conveniences provided by the belt will disappear.
Representative examples include combat assistance during transformation and filtration of starlight.
If exposed to the monster’s starlight, violence increases.
Red Spica, who can become a makeshift system, also breaks the rules and loses his mind.
You will not be able to receive belt assistance for a while.
The same goes for Jo Ayun, my only colleague. She lost her mind because she used her power beyond her limits. His brain was overloaded with information beyond its limits.
Not only the body but also the mind must have been severely overloaded.
We have to pray that he is not brain dead.
Even if you are not brain dead, it will take a lot of time for you to wake up.
It will take some time until Amundsen and Jason return. Jason is still struggling in the pain of replaying his memories.
The only medicine for the pain created by forming identity was time.
“Jaejoong… You will really be alone…”
All of my colleagues and helpers until now have disappeared.
The power he shows now is temporary.
He is nothing more than a temporary experience of the future that he might experience one day.
The moment he goes outside, he goes back to normal.
As a frail person with a terminal illness.
“Ah, pitiful….”
He lifted his foot. A shot that will end Sky Polaris’ ritual. Sky Polaris kept muttering while watching this.
“Pity… Pity….”
But she was still smiling.
“Still…”
He struck his foot down.
“That’s really cool.”
Kwasik! Her body was completely disorganized and shattered.
It was the moment when the small, infinite world in the belt collapsed.
**
Blue Sirius was angry. There may be many hypotheses as to why, but we cannot be certain about any of them.
He is so angry that even he doesn’t know the reason.
“Please stop!”
Why am I so annoyed by that Japanese magical girl who defends a monster? I don’t like Red Vega’s glance, nor Helios, who is watching the situation like a third party.
What I dislike the most are the monsters.
If it weren’t for their existence, this conflict would never have arisen in the first place.
A topic that suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared. What kind of nuisance is this? If I’m going to disappear, I’d rather disappear into the other world.
“Don’t forget our work!”
From the first day I became a magical girl until now, I have not forgotten a single day.
“It was our job to kill monsters and make people’s wishes come true!”
I have never forgotten this feeling of resentment even for a single day.
That was the reason I became a magical girl in the first place.
Vicarious satisfaction.
After the death of his parents, he always gritted his teeth at seeing monsters and blamed himself for his helplessness, but he fulfills the wish on behalf of his lover.
I receive his wishes on behalf of him and fulfill his wishes on his behalf.
For this, I became a magical girl.
So, how can you forget?
The moment you stop blaming the monster will be the moment you ignore his wishes.
It will be no different from the moment you forgive the enemy of a loved one.
“We…!”
Blue Sirius, who was about to repeat what he said once again, was stopped.
Because the situation has changed.
The disappeared monsters have returned.
The lion has returned.
The animal appeared to be lying comfortably as if it had fallen asleep. After a while, he seemed to have come to his senses, got up and looked around.
And then, he became angry.
-Kaaa!!!
The lion’s roar disturbed his ears as if it were tearing. At the same time, a tidal wave of flames moved.
“Why is that beast suddenly again…!”
Silver Luna’s face turned white. Blue Sirius was the same.
However, the reason was different.
I looked at another monster that appeared with the lion.
Watcher. He also returned. The belt that had been rolling around on the ground until now was suddenly attached to his waist.
But Odette, who disappeared just like that, is nowhere to be seen.
Instead, Jo Ayun is held in the Watcher’s arms. Belt in her hand. There was something that looked exactly like the buckle attached to Odette’s waist.
“…Why?”
Blue Sirius muttered quietly for a moment. He had insight at the same time. He couldn’t help it.
I’ve seen it this far, but it’s almost impossible to roll my eyes.
Odette and Jo Ayun are the same person.
Wasn’t he a monster who used Pink Deneb’s magic to begin with? The evidence was overflowing. I’ve been ignoring it until now.
“Get off, get off!”
But Watcher.
“Get your hands off that kid! “You monster!”
I didn’t want to accept that much.
Blue Sirius ran toward him as if possessed.
Actually, I had been doubting it for a long time.
When I met him and the monster attacked, the Watcher appeared at a very fast speed and in an eerily similar location.
No matter how much I verbally abused and attacked, the Watcher did not grumble and instead sympathized with me. He even warned me that he would regret it one day.
His movements overlap with Han Jae-joong’s to a suspicious degree. I can feel his kindness. His gestures are ingrained. The way he speaks is different, but he still retains the habit of saying things like ‘I’m going to turn around’ when he occasionally complains in a short answer. Scratches the back of his neck when he’s in trouble. He sometimes gets shy when talking to himself. When he sings Odette, he shouts ‘Ah…’ and then corrects himself. After the confrontation with Watcher, the distance between Red Vega and Han Jaejoong rapidly became closer.
There was plenty of room for doubt.
But I had no doubts.
There was no doubt.
Because I love you.
To the one I love, I said you were a monster. They are suspected of being the ones who killed your parents and my parents. How can I say this?
If something goes wrong, who will be responsible? How can we heal the wounds he received?
It is a betrayal of love. If that were the case, I would rather cut my tongue and jump into the water. I’d rather hurt you with false suspicion…
Are there too many suspicious streets? What’s the problem with that? With just a few words, even water can be deceived into thinking it is a rare poison. It’s enough to ignore one or two coincidences.
Even if all of this is a play to deceive me, it doesn’t matter. I don’t care if they talk about me and laugh at me behind my back, calling me an idiot.
If I were an idiot and an idiot, this would all end.
It doesn’t matter if you become a delusional person. It doesn’t matter if you become an idiot.
Jaejoong is a monster. Anything would be good if I could get away from this ridiculous hypothesis.
So she turned her eyes.
It removed her doubts and created hatred for her. Because if she can hate, she doesn’t love. Because he is no longer my love.
Fortunately, there were many reasons.
Because monsters have always been people who deserve to be hated.
I pondered my hatred for Watcher in front of Jaejoong. He just smiled bitterly and didn’t say anything else.
Why are you smiling so much? You have to agree. You should hate me too. You, too, hated it like me.
I may have felt that way sometimes.
But even these complaints disappear if you spend a little more time with him.
There is no way someone so lovely could be my enemy. There’s no way they’re a race I hate.
When you have so much time and emotion to spend loving on him, how can you spend any additional time having doubts?
This is nonsense. Nonsense….
It has always been like that.
“Get off!”
It was still like that. I couldn’t doubt love, so I endured life only with hate.
Hate is a truly frightening emotion.
It takes away your cool and narrows your perspective. You can maximize your power for a moment, but it only lasts for a moment. Most people don’t use their power effectively and waste it.
It is a feeling that causes more harm than good.
But hate is truly useful. It’s true, as much as you want to repeat that you are right.
Now was the time, and now was the wrong time.
From noble mtl dot com
A wave of flames is coming. The body temperature rises due to hatred, making it impossible to even feel the heat.
“Take your hands away from that child….”
“It’s dangerous!”
Blue Sirius extended his rapier. The Watcher did not dodge. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her. A rapier was driven deep into one side of his side.
The Watcher hugged her and curled around her. A wave of flames hit him directly. The cold thunderbolt that surrounded his body for a moment protected Blue Sirius from the heat.
However, he could not protect himself.
It was a shock that my tattered body could not withstand as a reward for drawing on the power of the future in advance.
When Han Jae-joong’s consciousness became clouded, Yun Seol-hwa’s clouded mind became clearer a little.
She remembered that Zhao Yun was still behind her and quickly activated her divinity, unleashing a cold air of absolute temperature.
Blah blah blah! All of the oncoming flames were trapped in the ice.
At that moment, Yun Seol-hwa regained all her sanity.
Anger is a highly volatile emotion. It easily disappears in just a moment. Instead, regret and shame take their place.
“Ah.”
Yun Seol-hwa confirmed who the person in her arms was. A man with a large body and brown hair. Her side was pierced by her own rapier, and white stardust scattered from her body and departed into the sky.
The belt came loose and fell to the ground, letting out a painful groan.
“Ah… No… No….”
Yun Seol-hwa denied reality. But her reality hit her colder than the magic she had unleashed.
“It can’t be like this… It shouldn’t be like this…”
The face of the person in her arms is placed on her shoulder. Afraid. I’m so afraid to see that face. I already know everything, but I haven’t seen it.
“No… I, I….”
Like a small child, like a child crying because he doesn’t want to die. Seolhwa Yoon shed tears.
This time, I am holding her like that time.
“I didn’t mean to do this… I thought…”
Han Jae-joong.
His old childhood friend.
He was the person I loved the most.
Contrary to when she was young, he was quietly losing his life in her arms.
