Transformation or Death Chapter 46

46 – like a comet in your heart (7)

The reason Baek Ah-hee fell for a magical girl is simple.

Just as a baby bird hatching out of an egg imprints the first thing it sees as a parent, Baek Ah-hee only made the first memory that remained the most intense in her life as her lifelong longing.

Baek Ah-hee’s first memory is splendid.

Inside the burning car and the road, tinnitus, screams and noises ringing in the ears, and bright sparks rose up to decorate the bloodstains scattered on the road. The traffic lights stayed red, and the sirens were equally red.

red red world.

The starlight that appeared in that chaos.

It was the appearance of a magical girl.

It was an appearance that left a lasting mark on the brain of a young girl who was still an infant.

It was as if a star had come from a clear sky.

Mysterious and gigantic brilliance that does not lose its light even when it is not in the night sky.

It appeared to be a comet that fell while burning itself to light up this world.

The hazy consciousness made all the memories of that day like a dream, but unlike real dreams, Baek Ah-hee remembered those memories for days.

Baek Ah-hee became an orphan that day.

However, the memory of this day did not remain as a trauma.

Red-colored memories were covered with starlight.

For a child who is not yet fully aware of the existence of parents, the grief of loss was a very difficult thinking activity.

Rather than the sadness of loss, the beautiful thing I saw that day was more memorable.

Baek Ah-hee, who became an orphan, ended up living with her grandmother.

The old woman was aware of the grief of loss because she was an adult, not a child.

In those stagnant days, the old woman couldn’t take care of the girl for a while.

The old woman, who had escaped from her grief for a while, told her only granddaughter that the starlight she saw that day was a magical girl.

The girl’s eyes lit up with interest.

The old woman showed the best hope she could for the extraordinary girl who had lost her parents but did not complain about anything.

Most of them were to obtain information about magical girls from information media available to them and show them to the girls.

Borrowed books about magical girls from the library, read them, touched old electronic devices, and showed various videos.

The girl did not even eat and fell into the existence of that magical girl.

The vaguely cherished longing came to the girl with a more concrete reality.

The starlight that shimmered in the girl’s eyes touched her heart and planted the seeds of change.

The girl who longed for the stars was aiming for the stars.

So the girl had a dream.

It was the moment when a dream-like memory was transformed into a dream of reality.

I was so poor that I couldn’t even eat a single snack or dessert properly, but it wasn’t particularly difficult.

At school, I was secretly ostracized for doing a lot of erratic things, but I wasn’t particularly lonely.

The girl had a grandmother who raised her so that she could grow up strong without parents.

I had a dream to overcome all trials and adversities.

Ever since the day her dream came true, the girl has worked hard to become a magical girl.

It wasn’t clear how to become a magical girl.

Still, the girl did.

With a mind similar to that of a magical girl, and a vague belief that by doing similar things, one day she will become a magical girl.

He never stopped doing good.

While the other children were playing, she did small volunteer work, such as picking up trash from the side of the road.

Otherwise, she imitates the battles of magical girls, builds up her stamina, and prepares for battle.

Sometimes he did something more daring.

Baek Ah-hee, who became a middle school student, sometimes did not follow the monster evacuation advice and guided the injured to the evacuation center.

When he became more daring, he attracted the attention of the monster and helped others to evacuate.

Every time I was scolded by the magical girl. As these incidents piled up, Baek Ah-hee came to be noticed as a person of interest even within the Magical Girls Association.

Those were pretty fulfilling days.

However, Baek Ah-hee, who was proud of having the aspirations of a magical girl more than anyone else, showed no sign of becoming a magical girl until a year before she became an adult.

Most magical girls become middle school students or the age of entering high school.

In severe cases, there are cases where she becomes a magical girl when she is in elementary school.

Baek Ah-hee missed the timing.

Many people who cheered for their dreams changed their gaze towards the end of their sophomore year of high school.

The grandmother suggested that the girl should start looking for a different career path.

Still, the girl did not give up.

When faced with an impossible reality, of course a magical girl would not give up.

The heroic view that was firmly formed from childhood became the girl’s behavioral principle, and became her stubbornness, persistence, and regret.

That’s how the girl was able to achieve it in the end.

Spring of the third year of high school.

Today was also the day I happily neglected my studies, skipped school, helped to evacuate monsters, and returned after finishing my part-time job.

It was an ordinary daily life.

The extraordinary started on the way home.

Strangely, when the girl arrived home, the siren did not leave.

The girl, who thought she had finally gone mad, saw the people running away and realized that this was not an hallucination but the truth.

When a monster attacks the poor neighborhood where a girl lived and causes multiple casualties, when the girl’s only family is listed on the casualty list, when the girl literally has only a dream left,

Baek Ah-hee has awakened as a magical girl!

Han Jaejoong was in a complicated state of mind.

Perhaps because it was the weekend, I let out a sigh when I saw the empty building with no one around, and a bit worn out.

“I’ll turn…”

How should I look at that child?

I’m sure he must be very gloomy, but if that’s the case, I’m rather fortunate.

What should I do if I have a wound that will not be erased even if I go through life?

Violence causes not only physical pain, but also fear, helplessness, and shame of being oppressed.

No matter what the excuse, education cannot be achieved through violence.

A sense of guilt pierced my heart.

There was a faint taste of blood in the mouth. It was because I bit the inside of my mouth in embarrassment.

Feeling the iron taste, I thought about how to treat her.

It would be rude to mention it for nothing, and it would be foolish to try to console her prematurely.

At first, she doesn’t know her identity. It was obvious that Han Jaejoong would look strange for him to feel responsible for that day’s defeat.

I put my hand on my chin and thought about it.

‘I completely transformed into Dogeza…’

It was a pretty extreme solution.

Han Jaejoong’s heart was confused like a storm and calm like the eye of a storm.

‘No, rather, an apology like this only makes the perpetrator feel better. An apology the victim does not want is simply a nuisance. Wouldn’t it be better to let her resent her in peace…?’

If any emotion goes to the extreme, the action becomes extreme.

So was the guilt.

‘No, this is what I’m supposed to do as a watcher… What should I say to that friend now? What can I do?’

It’s ambiguous to give advice like last time.

Consolation should have been more avoided.

For what reason do you speak recklessly?

Beating a child at night and being nice during the day?

Not a domestic violence offender.

Hide your identity, so it’s even worse.

damn quest.

Why did the quest to beat the child come out like that?

Was this level of action necessary to prepare for the level of danger of the previous Tortoise?

Was it necessary to instill fear with violence in order to survive that level of danger?

What potential did this belt see, so it ordered that?

‘In the end, I felt the need to plant fear, so such a quest came out…’

“Wow!”

Then someone shook his back and shouted loudly.

Shocked, Jaejoong Han looked back.

“Mr. Vega.”

“hehehehe, are you surprised?”

Baek Ah-hee smiled mischievously and waved her hand.

“What were you thinking for so long?”

she doesn’t know That the madman who was beating himself up and talking nonsense was the man in front of him.

That’s why I can laugh innocently like that.

Jaejoong Han stood still in his place.

Stay still, looking straight at Baek Ah-hee, who smiles.

“…? Why are you…?”

“Ah, I’m so surprised…”

Han Jaejoong forcibly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled awkwardly. Suspicious laughter to anyone.

“…I can’t believe I touched Jaejoong Han’s trauma…”

Baek Ah-hee guessed and covered her mouth with her hand.

“No! It’s not really like that. There’s no past history to be stimulated by being surprised in the first place.”

If this happens, misunderstanding becomes a vicious tail-biting situation that leads to misunderstanding. Han Jaejoong hastily made an excuse.

“What should I say after seeing Vega for the first time in a while… I should say that I was dazed because I couldn’t believe that such a magical girl was my counselor.”

There were no lies.

Why is she supposed to be my counselor?

“Oh… are you flirting?”

“Don’t say that because you don’t want to get caught.”

The two of them had a playful conversation and approached the building.

I opened the door with Red Vega’s key and went inside.

Due to the holiday, they were the only users of this building today.

“I’m sorry. I’m coming out to this place until the weekend for no reason because of my circumstances.”

“Anyway, I’m unemployed now. Please call me anytime.”

“Self-deprecating expressions are not good!”

“What if it’s true?”

Han Jaejoong felt the stuffiness behind his smiling face.

Red Vega looks bright now, but it was all just squeezed cheerfulness.

I definitely felt that way.

The smell of perfume was strong, and the makeup was thicker than usual.

It was a matter of concern from the outside to hide something.

If he had transformed, he wouldn’t have needed such a cumbersome outfit, but he took care of his trauma and came out as usual so as not to draw attention.

Everything from one to ten was his fault.

It felt like the bottom of my neck was burning black.

“But now I’m going to start job hunting soon.”

How should I restore her shattered pride and honor? How should the perpetrator offer an apology to the victim?

It was a situation where no matter what I did, it was deceptive.

Meanwhile, Jaejoong Han tried to raise her respect by appealing to Red Vega for his brightness.

“It’s all thanks to Vega.”

“I-I’m nothing…”

“Just being by my side gives me so much strength. Also, didn’t Vega just say that self-deprecating expressions are bad?”

No matter what I put in my mouth, it was not comfortable. No, it wasn’t comfortable.

What you need to do now is not your own comfort, but the comfort of a girl named Baek Ah-hee.

Even if it results in lifelong inconvenience.

“Besides, Mr. Vega didn’t do anything. He saved my suicide. Psychologically or physically.”

During this consultation, Han Jaejoong made up his mind to heal some of her wounds somehow.

The positions of the client and the counselor were reversed.

“Vega, you are a much more precious and special person than you think.”

clap.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the counseling room opened. The room was quite large for two people, and there were tables and chairs lined up, and there was also a blackboard.

Was it originally a recreational facility?

The open windows giving a clear view of the sky gave it a sense of openness.

Today was a sunny day, so the sky was bluer than usual.

Something moved in the sky.

It was too bright to be called an airplane or a helicopter.

It was defying gravity to be called a comet.

And, it was faster than a comet.

it came this way

Starlight approached outside the window.

When I woke up, the window was already full of light.

As if possessed, Han Jaejoong wrapped his arms around the Red Vega and fell backwards.

Kwaaang!!!!

The starlight broke the window and came closer.

Huge vibrations and deafening tinnitus that even an earthquake would laugh at. There was a long beeping sound. It was the beginning of destruction.

The building collapsed and a piece of stone landed on Han Jaejoong’s back of the head.

puck!

“Ugh… uh…”

“Mr. Jaejoong! Mr. Jaejoong!”

Han Jaejoong woke up at the sound of someone calling urgently.

What came into sight was Red Vega.

There was a wound near the head, and the arm was also severely swollen, as if it had been fractured.

The injuries were substantial. It must have been injured in a previous collision.

“Ah…! Jaejoong, are you okay…”

“I’m hurt…”

Jaejoong Han stuttered his mouth open. I was worried about this girl.

Then I felt

My body sensations were strange.

Especially around the ship.

[Excessive bleeding. Stop bleeding. There is a high risk of death if you transform into your current state.]

Hearing Belt’s voice, he slowly turned his gaze down to his chest.

Something like an iron pipe had been stuck in it, and blood was flowing like a flood. The bridge was twisted at an odd angle under rubble.

Death at the moment of transformation.

can’t keep this girl

This girl was too injured to stand up to the monster.

“Girl.”

The identity of the approaching starlight of this place.

said Libra.

“Get out of there.”

Han Jaejoong realized.

I just found out

meaning of the violence committed at that time.

Why was it necessary to instill fear so urgently.

It was to get her to run away leaving someone to die here.
