39 – Let’s be friendly (7)
“Compass… spot?”
What I saw in front of my eyes was a monster with a bright glow. The position of the stars that I glimpsed when I unlocked the disguise was definitely a compass.
“Don’t worry, comrade! I’m here!”
Comrade, what kind of bullshit are you talking about?
The monster in the constellation of the compass danced like an idiot and approached the beast monster in front of me.
The black armor, the arrows hanging from both shoulders pointing in opposite directions, the lozenge-shaped piece of metal in the center indicating north and south, and the letters marking the direction adorned everywhere on the body were obvious characteristics of the compass.
On his back was a cloak reminiscent of a ship’s sail.
There was a belt with an unusual design around the waist.
It looked like a part of the monster’s body, judging from the belt’s completely different shape from the Watcher’s and similar design to the main body.
It was a typical S-class monster, located in the middle of robots, transforming heroes, and monsters.
Two monsters and a human soon to become a monster gathered on the street at night.
It was a sight that would frighten anyone passing by. Fortunately, there were no passers-by here.
“aaap!”
With an exaggerated voice like a play, the compass removed the iron attached to his chest and flew like a dagger.
Next, he grabbed the arrows on both shoulders and fired them like throwing stars.
It was a poor skill. The scattered commendations of Jung-gu Heating could not even touch the beast monster and floated in the air.
“What are you doing?”
“Oops! I dodged it! What a nimble guy!”
“You seem to have dodged that thing. You didn’t hit it.”
“But don’t heroes need a crisis?”
Are all monsters just crazy? Well, he’s a monster, not a human.
“Overcome that crisis now!”
The compass monster grabbed the belt. To be precise, I put my hand on the circle in the center and the handle that connected it.
I grabbed the handle like rowing an oar and made a reciprocating motion.
Then, the compass magnet-shaped darts that had been hovering in the air stood tall, and they all looked at the same place.
The direction is beast monster.
The compass monster continued to move the belt handle, and the direction of the darts gradually became firmer accordingly.
shhh!
The darts that tore through the empty sky in an instant tore the monster’s fur. The commendations that flew in the air again soon returned to the compass monster.
The two arrows were attached to his shoulder as they were, and the iron on his chest was grasped with his hand.
“This is overcoming! The appearance of a hero who finds his place again even if he loses his way! Trials can shake me for a while, but they can’t make me sit down!”
The beast monster is not dead yet. The guy dripping blood must have been quite angry at the fact that he had hurt himself, so he screamed ferociously.
-Quaaag!!!
“Oops, did I look that good? Please wait a moment. I still…”
“I’ll turn.”
[ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATION.]
[THE BIG DIPPER.]
[ORIGIN.]
After quickly completing the transformation, he turned the dial.
[MERAK.]
The star of the lyre, Merak.
As Merak’s voice resounded, the center circle turned copper and rotated, and the second star on the scarf in the shape of the Big Dipper shone.
The same star was enlarged and reflected on the belt, and a long gun named Gaemun appeared in his hand.
I moved my body along the aiming aid of the belt and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The bullets were fired without an inch of error.
bang!
The starlight that poured in with the light gunfire took the shape of the Big Dipper and swept the enemies in front.
“Kryap?!”
“Oh no, what are you doing?”
I took a light step and moved backwards. Even in the distance that gradually widens, it does not shake and aims.
I pulled the trigger once again.
The monster of the compass.
One of the monsters that attacked that day along with Virgo, Pegasus, and Gemini.
It was funny to talk about a comrade on such a topic.
He continued to shoot while maintaining the distance he had now opened. Who knows if that monster will attack others as he did himself later.
It looks insignificant, but it must be difficult to deal with unless it is an S-class monster, Blue Sirius-class.
It is correct to deal with it here and now.
He had few talents and no good personality, so the only help he could provide was something like this.
“No, look, ghah, wait!”
bang! bang!
As I listened to the quiet gunfire, I realized one thing.
‘Why do I have no hesitation in pulling the trigger now?’
It is natural for people to have sympathy, and even ordinary people have hesitation when it comes to hitting animals.
Even if it is an act of defense against an attack.
It is normal to have a feeling of rejection after a reflexive step forward.
It’s not even an act of self-defense against an attack, it’s more like a pre-emptive strike.
But there is no refusal.
‘I’m used to it… it’s a little different to say.’
Fear your own power, then do it.
Of course there is this process.
There is enough consideration before defining it as an enemy.
However, there is no fear of violence against opponents defined as enemies.
To put it more broadly.
‘Violence with a purpose is especially less objectionable.’
like a monster
I learned one of the side effects of transformation.
become insensitive to violence
There is no hesitation in using violence as a means.
It is easy to give up the advantages of dialogue and resort to the most natural, barbaric and irrational means of violence as a solution.
That’s why you were able to do that when transforming.
That’s why I was able to think of the stupid thing of doing someone’s guidance with a fist.
I know ethically that it is an evil act, but there is no objection to my body, and I even know that it is a shortcut to the ideal. There is no reason not to do it.
Come to think of it, it was strange from the beginning.
The first quest received after transformation.
‘Kill the magical girl on the front.’
You can beat a child who is not familiar with simply because you are afraid of dying?
No way.
It’s not that long ago, and the memories of that time are vivid.
It was an act of violence that was too peaceful to be called an outburst in a state of fear.
‘If it’s to achieve the purpose, the ethical regulatory power will be weakened.’
This is especially true when transforming, and even after the transformation is canceled, the sense remains and seems to be able to maintain the mind.
This time, the reluctance was particularly strong, so this mental firewall couldn’t stop it.
Come to think of it, it wasn’t much different from what I did before.
Considering the purpose of this transformation, it can be seen as mental brainwashing, which is not too bad.
If you feel repulsive every time you use violence, it will be a great obstacle to your ideal.
However, it can’t look good either.
It was almost certain that he would end up like a monster who uses magical girls for his ideals.
‘…Wait, but why does the quest to attack magical girls only appear for Red Vega?’
Other magical girl-related quests were Run Away.
Why is it only for the main character?
At that moment, a possibility passed by.
A quest is a kind of prediction of the future.
this must be Over the years, I have predicted the location of monsters, magical girls, and their actions in advance.
Also a guide to action to achieve the ideal.
Quests serve as a kind of guidance, guiding the way on what to do now to realize the ideal.
The reason why Red Vega did more violence than necessary was to instill fear.
Among magical girls, she has an exceptionally strong sense of qualifications and pride, and has completed a kind of idolization work that should not have been completed at a young age for the role of a magical girl, and has no particular hesitation in risking her life for that.
A person who was in danger of dying several times in the original work, and each time the sacrifice of his seniors followed.
A person who overcame many crises and sacrifices and finally reached the hero he wanted.
It’s fate at best, and luck at worst.
If she hadn’t been a bit lucky, she would have died.
This world is a world that is completely different from the world that Jun-dong of various monsters knew with the variable called Watcher.
In other words…..
‘Red Vega is in danger of dying in the near future.’
That too is in danger of not being able to go to the watcher.
Maybe seniors can’t come either.
In a big crisis that you have to deal with yourself.
With that in mind, the attack quest focused on her was justified.
Of course, even taking that into account, the quest to search for a child is not normal.
If there is a reason, all evil deeds are justified.
nonsense.
‘Looks like I’ll listen to this bastard from now on.’
If I don’t like it even a little bit, I will immediately disapprove. If you want to kill, kill.
On the way to exterminate the monster who went out to empty his head, his head became rather complicated. Guilt still welled up.
He gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger hard.
I had realized how dangerous it was to take violence for granted, but my actions hadn’t changed.
There is no pity for the monster. What kind of compassion is it for those who have already killed and harmed many people. fuck or eat
“Wait a minute!!”
The beast monster had already died and turned into flames, and all that was left was a compass. I continued to pull the trigger.
The attack power of the gate is enough to leave scratches on the armor of most S-class monsters.
At that level, each shot isn’t very powerful, but when put together, it’s quite powerful.
Above all, it is excellent in terms of losing balance.
Useful for disorienting and then delivering a fatal blow.
In the case of rapid fire without collecting starlight, it shouldn’t be a fatal wound.
“aaa!!!”
It seemed like a fatal wound to that compass.
weak.
A simple impression emerged.
Maybe it’s because he’s a monster that doesn’t even appear in the original work, and even among the S-class, he’s inferior. He was so weak compared to the people he had met so far.
“Hey, comrade! Enough! The prank is too extreme… aaah!”
It seemed that he could kill even without any other skills.
Once again, the Big Dipper-shaped barrage rushed at him.
Compass put her hand on her belt, just as she did when moving the throwing star. As he turned the handle eagerly, the danmaku that was heading towards him flew in the wrong direction.
“Isn’t it possible that only your own projectiles can pass through…”
“Yes. My ability is to disorient. Now you see? With that terrible gun…”
[DUBHE.]
If an attack aimed at a clear direction doesn’t work, it’s just a matter of launching a wide-range attack.
Among the stars he had, he took out the star of Dube, which was the strongest and specialized in wide-range lightning attacks. The gaiden disappeared, and instead, a pair of claws were mounted on both hands.
“No, what the hell are you so dissatisfied with! You’re the same comrade! Hee! Now, wait a minute… Umm.”
The compass trembled as he lifted the claw. He quickly acted polite and pointed at the belt with his finger. Not your own, Watcher’s.
“That, that belt… that’s really cool. Yeah, that’s right. It’s a trend these days, isn’t it?”
It was difficult to listen to. Gathered lightning in the claw.
But this lightning never fell.
“I saw Bo wearing the same thing…”
It is because the afterwords of the compass continued and scattered.
“What?”
“Oh, oh oh… You finally have an idea, comrade?”
“Stop talking nonsense. You saw something like my belt?”
“Yes. Bo… I saw what Botis had.”
The monster in the shepherd’s seat now has the same belt as this one.
The news was enough to get rid of the will to attack and turn it into interest.
“Comrade… isn’t that too much? A sudden attack?”
“Stop talking nonsense. Why am I your ally?”
“You’re saying it for granted.”
Compass said confidently.
“Aren’t you a monster like me who has completed a constellation but has no purpose?”
It seemed that there was a serious misunderstanding.
“Hey… as you can see before I just transformed, I am human. And I have a purpose.”
“…what?”
“It is as it is said. If not.”
“No! It can’t be!!”
Compass shouted in a completely different manner than before.
“I can accept being human… But, a purpose? A purpose! A comrade cannot do that! If not, I… I…”
It was desperate despair. The compass always gave off that unclean aura.
“The effort that turned a comrade into a monster… what will it be…”
The monster who finally grabbed my head shook his head like a madman. The words muttered at the end of that madness were impossible to hear.
“You made me into a monster on purpose? What was the purpose? Hey, hey!”
“Ah… ah…”
It swayed dizzy like a compass that couldn’t find its direction.
“Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!”
The arrows hanging from him spun madly. It looked like a roundabout of stars, or like a lost ship being swept away by turbulent currents.
I reached out my hand to stop him.
And the sight has changed.
The dirty back alleys I had seen just before had disappeared, and I was thrown somewhere in the city, lined with shops that were closed because it was night.
got lost in an instant
They say that making people lose their way is an ability, so this is also possible.
“…I’ll turn around.”
It’s been an unpleasant day.
**
Pink Deneb suppressed her anxiety and headed to the hospital room.
It wasn’t the hospital room he and Blue Sirius shared.
It was directed at a newcomer who had just entered the hospital yesterday.
I was in the same hospital, but I was especially worried.
disaster that happened yesterday.
Coming back from the threshold of death is something that all magical girls experience, but it was rare to be defeated so humiliatingly.
Because she was Pink Deneb, who had experienced such a disgraceful defeat, she knew that she couldn’t carelessly offer words of comfort.
After grunting on how to comfort her, she finally moved her feet.
“It must have been the first time I’ve ever been hit like that.”
[Couldn’t you say something pretty at that time?]
“Shut up sparrow.”
[I am a swan!]
“Yes, sparrow.”
He gave an angry reply to his mascot and opened the hospital room for his junior.
“Hey are you okay?”
It was a thoughtful and thoughtful speech. The eyes of the girl in the hospital room turned to her.
It wasn’t one.
“Oh, oh, oh, oh!”
“Oh! You want Onni too? It’s delicious!”
I saw Red Vega with a mouth full of macarons, and White Davich, who was opening macarons and putting them in her mouth.
Red Vega’s ‘Senior! You are here!’
When the macaron box was empty, White Davich quickly took out the next box of desserts.
“Now, next Mama~ Deluxe White Chocolate Vanilla Strawberry Giant Scones~~!!! Let’s go to our Jiknyeo Sang (Mr.) Now, ah~”
“Oh~”
It looked a lot better than expected. If not, you won’t be able to eat dessert from the morning like that. Pink Deneb was frightened as she saw the dust falling on the bed.
“Put the powder down you bitches! Put it on a plate and eat it! Are you guys washing that?!”
The first skinship I ever did was a slap on the back.
