231 – People and Heroes (8)
Yun Seol-hwa looked around and muttered.
“…There’s something strange about the atmosphere?”
What happened while I was away for a moment to go get food? There was an uncomfortable and awkward air somewhere in the air.
“….”
“Uh… Are you here?”
Red Vega, who I don’t know when came, was crouching gloomily in the corner, and Han Jaejoong was watching her.
One day, perhaps due to fatigue from running away, I was sleeping against the wall in an alley.

“What’s going on?”
“It’s not a big deal, it’s because I act a little old-fashioned.”
“Good job!”
Yun Seol-hwa held Han Jae-joong’s hand and praised him.
“Even if you didn’t do it, it was something I would do someday. Yes, Vega is too young to think. “She should have been scolded.”
Are you that happy that Baek Ah-hee was scolded? Han Jaejoong looked back with puzzled eyes.
Baek A-hee was still seen groaning with gloomy worries.
“…What do you usually do?”
What was his usual life like to the point where Yun Seol-hwa, who is famous for his gentle nature, said this? Han Jaejoong was genuinely curious.
“Good boy. “He’s really nice, but… he’s a little crazy.”
‘A little’ may be a purified expression.
In many ways, he is a person with no middle ground.
When I was crazy about fanart, I could even memorize the serial code of that magic girl’s signature color.
When I was crazy about my hero activities, I didn’t care about my body at all, so it was a daily routine for me to suffer from muscle pain, chest pain, and headaches after being dispatched.
Complete immersion.
In a way, it may be natural that she, who is the type of person who goes all the way once she starts, becomes aware of her love and relatively ignores other values.
“Didn’t Vega say something strange again? Didn’t she try to instill some strange idea while you were losing your memory? Haven’t you corrected your strange values regarding relationships between men and women? Oh right, what did Vega say about you?”
“She said it was just a casual relationship… But don’t worry. I’m an adult? “A few years have flown by, but… I’m definitely an adult of the same age as you.”
The problem is that as a result of ignoring the things that get in the way of that immersion, you become distant from your dream.
“You’re an old man… So you’ve mellowed out?”
“…It’s difficult to convey that accurately.”
“Anyway, I just take most of what they say as nonsense. “Vega is very good at exaggeration and distorting the truth.”
Should I eat something delicious, or should I suppress it?
Should I go into stocks now, or should I hold out since I don’t have any money this month?
This conflict of contradictory desires is a problem that often occurs in life.
People cannot always be rational.
Most people solve this problem by choosing one of the two desires. This is a problem that can only be solved in this way.
But now her problem is more complicated than that. This is not a problem that can be solved by simply choosing one of the two.
Dreams and love.
Both are important parts of life that cannot be left out. It functions as an important motivation in life and may be the purpose of someone’s life itself.
The same thing happened to Baek A-hee.
Dreams have been the purpose of life since childhood, and love is the new destination of life.
However, if you support your dreams, you cannot protect your love, and if you protect your love, you must abandon your dreams.
It was truly a dilemma.
Baek Ah-hee raised her head and looked at Yoon Seol-hwa and Han Jae-joong.
“The only thing you did to Vega was unilaterally assault her and hospitalize her. Don’t mind.”
“Isn’t this an issue that requires a lot of attention? “Bringing that up has really aroused my guilt.”
“Vega seemed to have forgiven everything anyway… and Jaejoong’s violence was like a reward.”
“Seolhwa… Why did it become like this? “What on earth happened to you?”
“Don’t worry. I’m perfectly normal. “I just remembered common sense that I had forgotten until now.”
“It’s a story… violence is not a reward… and breaking social consensus is something to worry about…”
“…?”
“Why do you look like I’m abnormal, Seolhwa…”
Unlike the fact that he used derogatory and respectful terms towards himself, he seemed quite close to Yun Seol-hwa.
It has to be that way.
My acquaintance with Baek Ah-hee lasted only a short time, less than a year. On the other hand, his relationship with Yun Seol-hwa is built over countless years and memories.
Although we have become closer by going through numerous events together over the past year, we cannot overcome the solid wall that time itself has built.
‘Jaejoong loves Seolhwa unnie.’
Whether there is memory or not, the premise has not changed.
After recently running away, they will have returned to a de facto romantic relationship, and unless one of them dies in an accident, they will probably end up getting married.
Baek Ah-hee cannot monopolize Han Jae-joong. This is the main premise that will not change.
Of course, you can do that if you put your mind to it. If you give up her humanity, there’s no reason she can’t take it.
But Baek A-hee didn’t want to do that. Because Blue Sirius was the senior I respected and followed the most. Because he was once my favorite person.
“It’s a snowflake. Let’s start with psychiatry first. “You will receive treatment with me.”
“I don’t want to be in the hospital again. “I’m normal.”
“The leader has no opportunity to say such things!”
“B, BDSM is a healthy hobby!”
“You’re not going to enjoy it in a healthy way!”
“….”
“Huh? “See how I can’t speak?”
“Well… Please talk about your s*x life without me. “I woke up right away.”
“If it’s a pet, just accept it. “It’s fate.”
“So, is there a private room?”
“…?”
“I think I’m screwed. Senpai! Please give me up! “I will only go under your personal control!”
“It’s a lifetime contract, so you can’t leave.”
“I will run away from home….”
Haru woke up to the sound of the story, scratched his head and grumbled. Meanwhile, Baek A-hee was caught in her sight.
“Oh, is the depression over?! After all, being gloomy doesn’t suit a Jiknyeo! Now smile, smile!”
“Please pay attention.”
“It’s okay. “I don’t care because they are of the same type anyway.”
Baek Ah-hee slowly opened her lips.
“Sirius. “When you were against us and chose Jaejoong alone, did you have any hesitation or fear?”
Yun Seol-hwa smiled and looked at Han Jae-joong as if to say, ‘Did you see it?’ With just that one word, she figured out Baek Ah-hee’s current worries.
Wandering in love and peace.
“Of course there wasn’t… I’d like to say, but honestly, there was. “Giving up something is always scary.”
This is truly a worry worthy of a magical girl. Yun Seol-hwa smiled with a little joy.
“My origin was love. I got magic to protect my love. So, I just followed suit.”
“…Even giving up peace?”
“If you have to give up to keep something, then you have to give up.”
Han Jae-joong was surprised to hear that he had given up on peace. He widened his eyes and looked back at Yun Seol-hwa. Yun Seol-hwa continued speaking bitterly.
“I couldn’t help it. “At that time, I couldn’t see a better option.”
In fact, she may not have had to go that far. But at that time, that was all she could think of.
Yun Seol-hwa still does not regret that choice.
I have no desire to protect peace. In fact, she had never had one before.
I have only kept it until now because I thought social peace would help Han Jaejoong survive. If it is unnecessary for his survival, he can throw it away without hesitation.
“Thanks to you, I can’t even hear the mascot’s voice anymore.”
Yun Seol-hwa mocked herself. She was refreshingly self-deprecating.
“…It’s not a monster transformation, right?”
“It’s scary. “If I become a monster, will you kill me?”
“I’m asking this seriously!”
“I’m answering seriously too. Of course, I don’t want to become a monster.”
Baek Ah-hee frowned.
“‘I don’t want to’… It sounds like you’re saying that if you decide that becoming a good choice is a good choice, you’ll become a monster, right?”
“If possible, something like that won’t happen.”
Yun Seol-hwa did not deny it. The effects of the stimulant injected by Libra still remained in her body.
If the transformation into a monster happens again, the starlight will explode like last time. It was an obvious result.
‘This is really the last resort.’
In the parallel world, she became a monster after losing Han Jae-joong. But she didn’t do any harm. Because she stayed like Ji Bak-ryeong at the place where Han Jae-joong went missing or died.
Because it never meets people or moves, it never hurts anyone. That’s why she wasn’t a threat to the world.
However, sometimes if someone invades her territory, that person inevitably becomes a corpse.
Blue Sirius, who became an ordinary monster, possessed power comparable to that of the beasts of the galaxy.
However, the current Blue Sirius is injected with Libra’s stimulant. If the person completely becomes a monster, he or she loses his or her reason and goes on a rampage.
It is no different from a galactic beast running amok.
Han Jaejoong sensed serious disquiet at the term ‘monster painting’. It is not a simple instinctive reluctance. It was closer to anxiety, learned through experience.
“It’s a snowflake.”
“I know. I’m going to be human as much as possible. For you.”
Yun Seol-hwa made eye contact with her as if trying to end his anxiety.
“I promised.”
Yun Seol-hwa turned her head again and spoke her last words to Baek A-hee.
“Oh, you have a lot of time to worry. Think carefully. Unless you don’t want to be looked at with disdain by Jaejoong. Of course, I really like it.”
Baek Ah-hee nodded her head carefully.
The disdainful gaze is not a bad thing, but it was definitely an issue that needed to be thought about a little more deeply.
It was that time.
Wheee!!
An intense siren sound and luminescence erupted from the mascots of all the magical girls.
The same phenomenon occurred with the mascots of White Davih, who is currently in pursuit, and Blue Sirius, which temporarily lost its function.
It was a signal for emergency dispatch.
Crisis situation instructions sent simultaneously, regardless of the opponent.
It was meant to be a crisis situation comparable to crises such as the past November runaway or the appearance of the complete Scorpio.
-[Power! Stop chasing and return! Libra and her clones are currently on a rampage!]
-[The estimated number of stars is astronomical! It is comparable to the true divinity of magical girls!]
-[It’s an emergency of emergency situations! Please return immediately!]
The unicorn, who was in charge of controlling the center at headquarters, must have been embarrassed as well, and gave instructions using a mix of his usual tone of voice and command tone.
“This is….”
“We have to go.”
“Why are you talking like you won’t do it!”
“Because you’re not actually going to do it…?”
Yun Seol-hwa naturally excluded himself from the instructions. She now had no obligation to protect her citizens.
She was truly the strongest rebel in the magical girl world.
“What is that…!”
“Seolhwa, dispatch. I don’t mind dealing with monsters, but protect people. Please.”
Han Jaejoong ordered her.
“Yes. Okay.”
Although Yun Seol-hwa had no obligation to protect her citizens, she had the will to follow Han Jae-jung’s orders.
Blue Sirius participation confirmed!
Baek A-hee and Yoon Seol-hwa immediately transformed and flew into the sky. And then it flew towards the delivered location.
Haru, who was looking at the scene, looked at Han Jaejoong and said.
“Then shall we move too?”
“Yes.”
One day, I rummaged through the plastic bag that Seolhwa Yun had brought with me, took out bread from it, and ate it.
“Before that, let’s start with the stomach! Would you like to eat it too?”
“No, I’m not hungry.”
“Now that I think about it, I guess you can’t even do the fire extinguishing work. Then I will eat it all! Do not worry! That mouth and stomach are both big! You can even swallow baguette bread! “I can’t chew it, though.”
As Han Jae-joong ran as if Haru was holding his hand and pulling him, he felt something uneasy in his chest.
“…I guess I shouldn’t have sent it?”
It is the duty of a magical girl, so you must let her go. It was a request based on common sense, but something about it made me feel uneasy.
I think I shouldn’t have sent her away like that.
The thought that I should not have been made to put my feet in danger like that cannot leave my mind.
“You’re acting like a boyfriend who couldn’t catch his girlfriend breaking up with him!”
“Because it’s actually similar.”
“It’s not like I’ll never see you, so what does it matter! If you really want to, let her be with me and try to forget about her!”
“It’s not like I’ll never be able to see it, so what do you mean?”
Han Jaejoong sighed.
“But where are we going?”
“…? “Of course it’s a battlefield.”
One day, I answered as if I was asking something obvious.
“I’m a magical girl too! Of course we have to deal with monsters!”
“…Take me with you?”
“Then you can’t drop it! Do not worry! “I will take responsibility and protect you… Huh?”
Haru’s declaration of will by boldly beating his heart was short-lived, and a blue trace was drawn in the sky.
“…Story?”
It was Blue Sirius. He was the one who sent her away, so why is he happy that she returned safely? Feeling such contradiction, Han Jaejoong looked at the sky.
“Run away!”
“…They say I should run away?”
“From what?”
No answer came back. Because I saw something that would replace the answer.
Boom! Something heavy fell behind Haru and Han Jaejoong. The shock wave caused the two to fly and tumble on the ground.
“Proof…. Name….”
A monster that shines like burning oil. It shines so brightly that its shape is unrecognizable. Haru swallowed his saliva.
“It looks like that?”
“I know even if you don’t say it.”
From noble mtl dot com
You have to run away. That thought went through my head.
But the monster’s movements were faster than the speed of his thoughts.
Before Jaejoong Han could get up again, Li Bra’s fist came right in front of her eyes. My eyes stung from the acrid light.
Boom! However, Han Jaejoong’s head was not crushed.
“Run away! Hurry!”
Blue Sirius kicked his fist away.
“Seolhwa, sleep….”
“Let’s go without delay! Oh, that’s right, I can fly now!”
One day, Han Jae-joong was carried and flew into the sky. Han Jae-joong stretched out his hand towards Yoon Seol-hwa, who was moving away.
