228 – People and Heroes (5)
White Dabih held Han Jae-joong’s hand and ran. The place they were running was a dark, deserted alley in an unknown city.
Not only did Jo Ayun return the magical girl’s gaze, but she even moved them.
You can’t waste this opportunity. White Davich ran with sincerity, not half-heartedly. She couldn’t fly.
“Come on! Let’s run quickly!”
The sky is a space for magical girls. In other words, it also meant that it was the space that the magical girl paid the most attention to. The starlight racing through the sky is only noticeable for no reason.
“Ugh… A little… Slowly… Hee…”
Han Jae-joong, who had difficulty keeping up with the magic girl’s physical strength, continued to let out painful breaths, but White Davich moved his legs without any consideration for him.
“That’s pathetic!”
“Try jumping like this with your bare body!”
“Isn’t it funny that I’m tired even though I’m a corpse! Why on earth are you so tired! “I have no heart and I’m not breathing!”
“I don’t know!”
White Davich burst out laughing at that exhausted look.
“hahahaha!”
“Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing?”
“I feel relieved now that it feels a bit like aniki. “I liked it because it looked cute, but I still like it the way it is now!”
Indeed, this is what Han Jaejoong said before he lost his memory. While Han Jaejoong was convinced, he also realized that the woman had been making fun of him.
If the other side crosses the line that must be maintained between humans without hesitation, this side also crosses the line.
“That’s right… Wow… Ugh… I’m glad… Don’t talk to me anymore. “Because I feel like I’m going to throw up…”
“Hmm? Then just listen! “I’m the only one speaking!”
“Ugh… Don’t say it out loud. It makes my brain hurt….”
You don’t listen to what I say. Han Jaejoong shook his head. He wondered how his past self could handle this (he couldn’t).
“Huh….”
Han Jaejoong let out a tired sigh.
He was not just physically tired, but also mentally tired.
Everything is sudden. The fact that you have suffered memory loss is already dizzying, but the content of the lost memory is even more dizzying.
He himself was a monster, Jo A-yoon was also a monster, he was terminally ill, and in the end, he was killed by this magical girl in front of him and became a zombie.
I thought it was a long time ago, but looking at the transformation Jo Ayun showed just now and seeing her being chased by magical girls like this, I guess all the information I received was true.
‘Ayoon is not the one to fool me.’
It was more vicious because it was true.
He would be able to hold a grudge if there was someone who deceived him, but even that is impossible now.
The suddenness was confusing.
Why did he become a monster? Why did he make so many magical girl acquaintances even after becoming a monster? Why did that girl named Red Vega look so hurt when she saw him?
‘If I had become a monster, I should have quietly committed suicide.’
Why did I struggle to survive while becoming something of a monster? Is it because they treated their lives so preciously that they could be used for something?
When the current Han Jaejoong first experienced his transformation, he did not know that he had lost his memory.
At that time, he had forgotten his resentment toward the monsters and his past, and his instinct for survival was strong.
Thanks to that, Han Jae-joong was able to remember his duty by obediently following the orders of his belt.
Whether it was coincidence or design, the loss of memory was close to good luck for him at the time.
Of course, there was no way for Han Jaejoong to know such circumstances.
He is curious about one thing.
Your origin.
I wanted to know why this chaos started in the first place.
‘What on earth did I want to do?’
White Davih stopped walking. Then, naturally, Han Jaejoong also stopped.
“Why did you stop?”
“We… But where do we go?”
“What? “Didn’t you think about it?”
“No! “I just ran blindly!”
“I’m proud… I’m proud….”
“I’m not bragging! “I want to be someone you’re proud of!”
“Then let’s start by developing insight first.”
“I will not raise it and live proudly!”
“…Okay.”
Han Jaejoong sighed deeply and leaned down. Drops of sweat poured down on his ground.
His head hurt, probably because he was running non-stop. I had no idea why my body, which had almost completely stopped functioning, was losing stamina and feeling sick, but what could I do about pain anyway?
‘That’s right. Does this body have a regenerative function? If something like a piece of flesh falls from now on, won’t it just stop healing and stay that way?’
Han Jaejoong raised his head again to ask that question.
“…Huh?”
A somewhat familiar scene of an alley. Han Jaejoong’s eyes were taken by an ordinary, seedy back alley. He remembers seeing it somewhere.
Even in this hectic time, the cool feel of the belt he had not forgotten to pack wrapped around his hand.
“Ah, here it is.”
“Here? “Let’s hide here?”
“Where I found this belt.”
Han Jaejoong looked at the buckle in his hand and muttered. The belt, which didn’t work no matter how many buttons he pressed or how many dials he turned, seemed to be shining strangely, as if it were broken.
“What is it? Did you find your memory? Oh, this is a trivial memory loss. “It will take at least a few years.”
“I’m dying of frustration. “The people around me are also dying of frustration.”
“But I won’t feel frustrated.”
White Davih grinned.
“Because now that Aniki has no memory, aren’t I the closest person to him?”
“No, there are many people I’m closer to than you… Ugh.”
She put her arm around Han Jaejoong’s neck in a familiar way and then sat down. Jaejoong Han sat down on the alley floor and White Davih naturally climbed onto his lap.
“You can’t escape from my side anyway. “We will be friends for life!”
The posture is now facing each other. White Davich must have been exhausted for a long time, and her hot breath touched her face and tickled Han Jae-joong.
“What does it mean that you can’t escape from that side…?”
“Aniki’s body definitely belongs to me! In short, you cannot escape my sphere of influence! A fall of a few meters is okay, but no more! The moment you escape this sphere of influence, your body will begin to decay! “As the corruption has been suppressed by my magic so far, you will be reduced to a skeleton in an instant!”
Jaw. Han Jaejoong touched his forehead.
“In one word, you can’t be away from me for the rest of your life! How do you feel, I’m happy! “It’s fun just to imagine it!”
“aaah….”
“I’m embarrassed to see you so happy, hehehe….”
So does that mean I have to spend the rest of my life with this crazy woman? The body is fixed as a corpse like this?
It makes no sense. Han Jae-joong already had a woman in mind. She didn’t want to become a corpse and live with this immature woman, such a terrible future.
“As expected, you like me!”
I would not have entrusted my life to this crazy b*tch without any countermeasures.
‘You have to think of it… you must…!’
In that way, Han Jaejoong’s motivation became stronger.
“It’s going to turn….”
“Yes! Let’s explore this round world together!”
“No, that’s not what I meant, I’m going crazy….”
“Does this mean you’re crazy about me? Hmm, passionate! But it’s a bit burdensome, so please bear with me!”
“No sh*t.”
I can’t understand. Han Jaejoong changed the topic.
“Why do you like me so much?”
“It’s fun! So I like it! It gives me new stimulation every day! We have fun together! “Isn’t this enough reason to like someone?”
White Davich, who smiled innocently while saying that, soon became tearful and leaned his head on his shoulder.
“It is rare to find someone who is fun to be with. Among them, it’s rare to find someone who doesn’t hate me. Jiknyeo was one of those people….”
“Jiknyeo?”
“Red Vega! Since I am Gyeonwoo-seong, I guess Jiknyeo-seong is Jiknyeo! Please understand! “It’s stuffy!”
What do you say to someone with amnesia? He wanted to argue, but Han Jaejoong kept his mouth shut.
Now I am starting to get a feel for how she treats herself. Even if he considers facts like this, he gets no benefit.
“Jiknyeo was the kindest person I have ever been to since I came to this country. Of course, Pink Senpai was kind, but… Origami was the best. She became an instant favorite.”
“….”
“I liked listening to Jiknyeo’s dream story. I liked that difficult and simple heroism that she wanted to one day become the person who leads everyone like the North Star. But… Jiknyeo is acting strange now.”
Han Jaejoong felt a mysterious feeling. The more I listen to her, who until now was just someone I couldn’t understand, the more I feel like this girl is just an immature child.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a Jiknyeo look at me like that. “I hate it when the person I like hates me.”
What a child. Doesn’t it seem like something that needs to be protected? He had seen the activities of magical girls countless times. Who is protecting whom?
I know rationally that this is truly ridiculous.
“Brother… Please don’t hate me.”
But the feelings are different. I felt pitiful for this girl and the other magical girls who were chasing her.
What does he mean by fighting among themselves?
“I’ll try my best.”
Han Jaejoong answered and stroked White Davih’s head. The feel of the fluffy hair was similar to petting a large dog.
Compassionate.
It was an action born of instinctive compassion, like feeling sorry for an injured animal.
Their military superiority was not a matter of much concern.
“But is it okay to rest like this?”
“It’s okay! “No one will come after us anyway!”
“Okay, then let’s rest a little longer.”
Han Jaejoong stroked her hair and closed her eyes.
Now I feel like I have a little idea why I picked up the belt in the alley.
**
-[Found.]
Orange Altair raised an eyebrow.
And then he gave instructions to all members.
-[I will pass on the location. I wish you all good luck.]
Golden Aldebaran swallowed his saliva after receiving the message. It happened to be close to the designated location.
‘In times like this, not having a presence helps.’
At first, he was caught up in Jo Ayun’s forced movement, but as the battle progressed, Golden Aldebaran secretly turned his body invisible and succeeded in escaping.
After that, I listened to Altair’s report again and tracked down White Davih.
She was a rational person.
She is proud, but she knows that at her own level, it will not help her in that battle.
‘My forte is stealth maneuver.’
You approach carefully and stab the opponent’s vital point without them realizing it.
Securing the escaped White Davih is the key to this mission. She is being targeted by quite a few people.
This is because there were several people within the magical girl group who developed a close relationship with Han Jaejoong. Even for her immediate companions, she felt a little sympathy for the death, how much worse it must have been for her normally closer relationship.
If we are not careful, White Davih could become dangerous due to their resentment.
From noble mtl dot com
For the sake of her peace within her magical girl and the safety of her White Davich, she had to be the one to catch her now.
Golden Aldebaran moved his feet carefully with such a sense of duty. In the transparent state, you cannot even hear footsteps. All sensations coming from her are blocked.
All the magic used by White Davih has something in common. The point is that it uses the flute as its starting point.
In other words, if you block her hands, you can arrest her without any trouble.
I ran the simulation countless times. He is as confident as he is in stealth maneuvering. White Darby would handcuff her hands to her threat, which she did not even realize.
With that promise, Golden Aldebaran arrived at the location indicated by Altair.
‘That’s it!’
In the alley we arrived at like that.
“…Huh?”
There was no one.
‘Seo, did you really notice?’
Golden Aldebaran remained on guard and searched the surroundings, but still found nothing.
As if the report was false, not even a trace of anyone could be found.
**
“Heh, heh heh… I guess this was helpful enough…?”
And in fact, the report was false.
Her Han Jae-joong’s death brought a great shock to her.
She once received help from the Watcher, and deep down she respected him.
So, I gritted my teeth and chased after White Dabih. She tried to give that unpleasant woman a little taste of sting.
But that determination disappeared as if the snow had melted when I saw the scene inside the cafe.
There was Han Jaejoong. Although her complexion was pale, she could speak and move just fine. Orange Altair saw that and guessed.
Was it his goal to be killed by White Davih?
If so, it explains why Jo Ah-yoon protects her, who is Han Jae-joong’s enemy.
If all of this was Han Jaejoong’s will from the beginning, it wouldn’t be surprising if the obedient cutie Pink Ayun followed him.
“Jae, Jaejoong… Watcher’s will is probably correct…”
His will, which guided his arrow beyond the sun, must have been the correct answer.
But the location of White Davih had already been revealed. It was a careless attempt to follow only the traces of starlight and not check who was around.
But mistakes can be made up for.
She trusted Jo Ayun.
Actually, Jo Ayun lived up to the expectations.
The troops moved away from Han Jae-joong.
“I am an arrow that can reach the stars…!”
After that, Orange Altair decided to sabotage his mission.
After the troops were dispersed due to Jo Ayun’s abilities, they were given fake location information.
Of course it was crazy. If caught, it doesn’t end with a light disciplinary action. Even if the mission is to chase a colleague rather than a monster, intentional interference with the mission is a severe punishment.
But she did not hesitate.
“Oh, what should I do? Did I do something for nothing? In fact, what if this wasn’t Watcher’s will? “What if White Davich is the worst sinner who harmed Jaejoong’s body?”
Even though I was anxious and scared, I did it.
I’ve already done crazy things many times. It’s difficult at first, but easy at the end.
In that way, she easily took the magical girls away from Han Jae-joong.
However, there were variables that even she could not consider.
“…Huh?”
The madness of love sometimes caused incomprehensible miracles.
“Why, why are you here? “Senior shouldn’t be over there… uh, uhuh…?”
Blue Sirius had arrived near Han Jaejoong.
