44 – like a comet in your heart (5)
“Yes? What is that… Mr. Vega!”
Golden Aldebaran was embarrassed.
“J-It’s true. You can’t go, sister… You can’t…”
Red Vega desperately dried up. To prevent Golden Aldebaran from engaging in battle.
There were also concerns.
But more than that, it was more of an act to increase my allies and to have my actions affirmed.
It’s what a child is stubborn about.
“Mr. Vega!”
“I mean real!”
Golden Aldebaran tried to calm her down, but it was not enough.
Red Vega was clearly in a state of panic. It’s something every magical girl experiences. However, most of them experienced it at the beginning of their debut, and it was the first time that they had experienced it after half a year.
Golden Aldebaran also lived as a magical girl to some extent.
I have often seen a magical girl who almost lost her life go through a panic.
Their appearance was largely the same.
“Ah hee…”
No flashy clothes, hair, or ornaments, all of which caught my eye.
There was no bright appearance like starlight that was different from the appearance of a normal person.
No matter how special the outside was, the inside was the same.
No matter how much magic she wraps around her body, she is still a girl in the end.
A child who is afraid of dying, does not want to fight, and does not want to dirty himself with dirty dust.
[it’s okay.]
Blue Sirius’ voice came through the mascot. It was an urgent communication.
[You take Ah-hee and run away. I’ll fight alone here.]
“but….”
[It’s really okay. Don’t you believe me?]
After thinking for a while, Golden Aldebaran answered.
“…I believe it.”
[Yes, let Ah-hee rest well today.]
Golden Aldebaran grabbed Red Vega’s arm and pulled him.
Staggering, Red Vega stood up. She asked, holding Golden Aldebaran’s hand tightly.
“As expected… would it be better to go back?”
It was an anxious attitude.
fled from the battlefield That attitude prompted a sense of shame as a magical girl and the anxiety of running away from people.
“Oh, no! Let’s go back! I think going back is just right.”
“Don’t bullshit.”
“Dogs, bullshit…”
Golden Aldebaran lightly dismissed those words.
“I ran away because I was afraid of the monster…”
“Originally, everyone is like that.”
Red Vega tilted her head.
“Everyone doesn’t want to fight the monster, they want to run away. In that respect, the previous act can be seen as a very courageous act. Everyone only dreamed of it and tried something they didn’t dare to do.”
After saying that, Golden Aldebaran laughed, wondering if he was funny.
“Running away… courage?”
“hahahaha, you don’t know yet. Let’s take a break today.”
“Yeah, but Sirius is still there.”
“it’s okay.”
A magical girl confronting an S-rank monster alone. It was obviously a dangerous situation, but Golden Aldebaran had a strangely peaceful expression.
“I’ve just created ice sculptures of that size several times before, but they don’t show signs of getting tired.”
It was beyond what she knew.
Blue Sirius did not show the bottom yet.
“It’s getting stronger.”
I was asked to retire, but
I guess it wasn’t the time to back off yet.
**
“Senior, I think I’m going to retire soon.”
Those were Pink Deneb’s words.
Right after waking up in the hospital room, the words he gave to Blue Sirius who was lying next to him.
“Um… It’s a waste considering my ability. But there’s nothing I can do about it.”
she was laughing She often forced a smile. Or forcibly throw a pleasant tantrum, or get angry instead.
“Honestly, we’re not at the age to be called girls. Huh? Uh… How can I be called a young girl? Can I still be called a girl? Anyway, we’re just witches rather than magical girls. It’s embarrassing, but an adult magical girl name is different. You don’t want to invent it.”
Behind such playful words, I let go of my true feelings.
“Or, I just want them to stop when they’re older.”
A moment of silence ensued.
“Senior, let’s do a little more and stop now.”
“Now the dilemma will act?”
“So that’s what I’m talking about. If you fight it anyway, you’ll die naturally.”
It was a painful word.
“We… When all the other kids are studying normally or trying to find a career… Die, we’ve been fighting to die without a real metaphor. But what is this?”
she looked sad It was a smile, but I didn’t feel the slightest smile. All I have is sadness.
“…Can’t we live a little more comfortably?”
It was natural to be embarrassed.
The first invitation to retire was more desperate than I thought.
Blue Sirius looked ahead.
A monster who rampages without hesitation. A fearless monster who knows he won’t get hurt.
On the other hand, he was really shabby with his weak and soft skin.
They don’t have anyone to protect, but this side has people well over tens of thousands.
There are many people who will fall into grief just for this momentary defeat.
I have repeated this unreasonable fight to the point of getting tired of it, and I must repeat it in the future.
Of course I had to be embarrassed.
There is great praise and honor, but what comes with it is a responsibility and an obligation to shoulder someone’s great inferiority complex.
didn’t want Blue Sirius didn’t think he wanted to do anything like this.
no attention needed I don’t even need money.
I just wanted to be with a normal person.
What is magic, what is the star?
If you have it, do you have to sacrifice it?
Do you make a legitimate justification for making people suffer so much?
“Whoa…”
Blue Sirius sighed. In all seasons, her sighs were followed by long breaths. It was a trajectory of grief.
With the two girls gone, it became quieter. There was only the sound of the monster revolving as it gnawed at the shield.
Fortunately, the two managed to get out before getting hurt. Considering how magical girls usually run away, it was luxurious.
However, I was a little surprised that Red Vega, not anyone else, had escaped.
An unusual child who barely became a magical girl at the age just before reaching adulthood.
From the beginning, there was no fear of monsters, and he had a clear view of his own heroism.
A girl who really shined like a star.
The world often praised Blue Sirius.
He has a record of defeating an S-rank monster in this era, and he is strong.
But no. It is people like her who should be praised.
The battle with the S-class monster was only a beeline experience behind the back of the seniors, and strength is just an experience acquired over time.
He’s not great at all. On the contrary, they felt burdened by the praise, and sometimes even disgusted it.
Because of the praise, thanks for putting so much effort into it, thanks for raising expectations.
Because the love that was his everything was cut off.
On the other hand, what about Red Vega?
What a brave girl this is. bold and cute
The next generation of magical girls is none other than she.
A girl who will become everyone’s wish.
Blue Sirius had no doubt that Red Vega would.
And that Red Vega ran away.
It was shocking, but I also felt relief.
“So, now we’re the only ones left.”
In fact, if I had tried to block the monster’s attack just now, I could have stopped it.
left on purpose
Blue Sirius wanted the girl to know pain.
The camaraderie and pride felt by the cute and fresh girl eventually turned into sympathy.
It’s so different from you, but the ending will be the same.
Like all magical girls, I saw a future where I would be wrecked in a whirlwind of admiration and jealousy.
Blue Sirius looked at her and himself.
It was pitiful.
The girl who shone like a star, the light source was like a boiling fire.
It was clear that the well-packaged view of the hero would leave irreversible burn marks the moment it tipped over.
To Red Vega, to Red Comet.
A girl who would one day fall and turn into an ordinary stone needed a cushion to prepare for a fall.
All she needed was frustration and pain.
I needed a trial to check myself for a while.
Paradoxically, all of this will give her a break.
“Thank God. Now I don’t have to hesitate.”
Blue Sirius wanted Red Vega to know one thing.
I hoped that the proud, bright girl who rushed recklessly would have this behind her actions.
I wanted you to know the fear.
**
Power was not the only thing to be afraid of.
He had to have knowledge, words, and faith.
I was always afraid of the road ahead, afraid of everything I did, and had to suffer.
“Why? Don’t you value ideals more than your life? Strange…”
Botis asked playfully.
“I am human.”
answered without hesitation.
“It is said that man cannot live by bread alone. By the same logic, man cannot live without bread. Why do not you know that man needs more than one thing?”
People cannot live only with ideals. There were always things we should never forget.
He had to know that everything he did could not be wrapped up just because the results were right.
I was foolish the last day not realizing this.
a lot of sins
“No matter how important your ideals are, there are some things you shouldn’t throw away.”
Since I have many sins, I must repent.
“I don’t need allies. I don’t need the approval of humans or monsters. I don’t need your parenting.”
Botis asked with concern.
“If you’re a human, you’re afraid of the pain of alienation, right? Don’t push yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, and that breaks their heart. Everyone has at least one or two shelters to prevent them.”
“Would fear be a reason to give up?”
“…Really?”
“I don’t know how far I’ve seen the future, but didn’t I know roughly what I was going to do?”
And behind the fear, there is hope.
“I will achieve my ideal as a person.”
**
Behind fear, there is hatred.
Blue Sirius wanted a girl named Baek Ah-hee to gain hatred after fear.
Hatred towards monsters.
Carefully forged hatred is a beacon of light on any rugged path of fear. Rather than backing down in fear, it gives you a reason to act right now.
This is a very useful action principle.
“Whoa…”
Blue Sirius let out another sigh. It froze and crystallized before it even became its hidden breath.
The temperature where she stood gradually dropped.
It was at a level that could be called absolute zero.
Blue Sirius knows.
His power is comparable to that of an S-class monster.
But why haven’t I been able to use my strength properly until now?
The answer is one, because I didn’t know how to use it properly.
Just like when he was a rookie, he recklessly launched an attack using ice.
Simply with weapons and mobility.
If the output and mana limit are stronger than before, then you have to deal with them accordingly.
Why couldn’t I just give up on this method?
The answer to this was also simple.
Because these are the skills I made with the person I love.
We go to the ice rink together and practice our sliding skills on the ice.
He gave me a lot of homework so that I could practice how to shape ice.
Watch over him to speed up the manifestation of the Illusion Sword.
It’s a battle method built from those memories.
But now, where did that loved one go?
Due to his own foolish choice, he could not overcome the malice poured out by others and disappeared.
Then why did that foolish choice start?
Because the monster attacked the school at that time.
If it weren’t for the monster, he wouldn’t have to be a magical girl, he wouldn’t be noticed, his school wouldn’t be attacked, and he wouldn’t have to break up with him.
Even after leaving like that, I still had a sense of duty, so I wouldn’t have had to fight at the risk of my life for such a long time.
Selfish monsters always attack people and always cause misfortune like themselves.
“Everything, I want you to die…”
A monster’s shadow fell on her. It was the appearance of a monster spinning like a top spinning on a frozen stream. Seeing that he could withstand Red Vega and his own magic at the same time, it was clear that he had excellent heat resistance.
Blue Sirius swung his three swords. As a result, thick ice fog was scattered. Blue Sirius leisurely crossed the fog and avoided the monster.
He continued to search for Blue Sirius through the fog.
I wish it had been like this from the start.
Blue Sirius leisurely avoids the monster and scatters the ice mist over and over again.
There was a clear hatred in the whitish mist.
Having lost their mate, the flycatcher wanders without being able to fly.
I was so afraid of the reality that I couldn’t accept it, but finally admitted it.
It soon turns into regret, and regret turns into regret.
What you gain from brooding over your regrets is a curse on everything that caused you to lose your partner in the end.
“Because even a monster will hide…”
Eventually, it becomes hate.
Biikyeongok (比翼連哭).
Like the tears of Biikjo who lost his kite.
Even in the month of May, the winds that would make it frost flew along with pieces of ice.
Before long, the monster’s movements stopped.
The ice fragments she scattered are gases with extremely low temperatures comparable to liquid nitrogen. He kept breathing in it, so his lungs would freeze.
The tortoise exposed its head. Blue Sirius froze his limbs.
Even if it had excellent heat resistance, it was possible to enclose it in ice and bind it.
It was ice that raised the strength to diamond level.
Even making a single stone takes a lot of mana.
She bound the monster’s limbs with the feeling of consuming all her strength.
And put the sword in his mouth. The touch of a sharp sword groping the throat.
“I hope the intestines are less strong.”
And formed ice from inside the body.
Woo support!
A terrible sound vibrated within him. Didn’t stop. Pieces of ice popped out of the monster’s eyes.
It worked, but it wasn’t dead yet.
Ice was poured into the bread as if it were filled with cream.
Continue until you lose your breath and explode.
Kwajik!
Eventually, all movement of the monster stopped.
Blue Sirius retracted the sword satisfactorily. Excessive consumption of mana leads to consumption of physical strength. A heavy breath was exhaled without stopping.
“Huh… Ugh…”
I drew and looked back.
There was one more hateful monster there.
“…the Big Dipper.”
“I want you to call me Watcher.”
Chilsung’s green monster.
