47 – like a comet in your heart (8)
[The temperature has dropped. Heart rate decreased. It is excessive bleeding. Stop bleeding. In the current state, transformation is not recommended.]
The front of the eyes was red. My vision is shaking and I can’t focus properly. My head was dizzy, my stomach was even more dizzy, and I was even shaking. My blood couldn’t properly oxygenate, so I was breathing hard, and my body screamed in silence that I would die right now.
[Transformation not recommended. Seek medical attention immediately. Repeat once again…]
The warning beeped incessantly from Belt. A warning sound indicating that life support is impossible.
Transformation is an act that puts a lot of strain on the user’s body.
That’s why the transformation is forcibly canceled when a life-threatening attack is received.
To protect users’ lives.
It was obvious that if he tried to transform into such a dying body, he would die as it was.
“Girl, I’ll say it again. Get out of there.”
Libra sternly warned Baek Ah-hee.
“Hey guys, where’s the resolution you had before? It’s not like you’re giving up fighting just because death is right in front of you. If that’s the case, you’re very disappointed.”
Han Jaejoong was dumbfounded. Do you want to fight after putting yourself on the verge of death with a surprise attack? He laughed and spat the blood in his mouth.
At the same time, I found out the purpose of this raid.
Libra is currently being tested.
Just before losing his life, can he devote himself to defending even with a weak human body that has not even been able to transform?
will ask like this
I was full of spirits.
What the hell do you have the right to suffer and put to the test?
“ah….”
What is the difference between what he is doing now and what he did to Red Vega before?
Forcing others to pass your standards.
After all, it was no different than he is now.
Arrogantly, they inflicted pain and persecution as if they had any qualifications.
To her who needed warm comfort more than anyone else, to her who was more impatient than anyone else, he hurriedly pushed her.
He became a torrent, sweeping her and suffocating her.
I promised to protect you, but what kind of ugliness is this?
‘I became nothing but pain for her.’
I couldn’t protect myself mentally or physically.
I was careless. There was no way the monster would act while thinking about circumstances or recognition.
Of course I could do this kind of surprise.
I remembered the advice that contradiction had given me before.
If you want to kill yourself, do an ambush.
It definitely made sense. It’s worth saying that.
There’s nothing like a surprise attack to kill someone.
Now that he had fallen into the eyes of several monsters, he had to prepare a little more.
It would have been better if Red Vega had been transforming.
She came out with a normal appearance to be considerate of herself.
As a result, she was also seriously injured.
It was all his karma.
Consciousness gradually faded. My vision is hazy, like waking up in fog or water.
On the verge of death, beyond that fear, what Han Jaejoong looked at was not his own comfort and future, but the girl’s pain.
What he had sitting on the threshold of limb was guilt.
What I felt along with this was a sense of relief.
‘But… I’m glad…’
There were many regrets, but hope was clear.
The fact that Libra’s purpose today is herself, not the girl, and that the girl now knows fear.
That fact was Han Jaejoong’s hope now.
People are multifaceted. The same is true of the way one looks at an event.
You can see the event you saw yesterday with a different emotion today.
Right now, you may look at an event with multiple emotions.
It was a feeling that could be compared to love and hatred.
Even though he resents and regrets the mistakes he has committed, he feels a bit of relief at the outcome of the mistakes he made.
It was not a particularly unusual feeling.
If done well, Red Vega might be able to return alive.
What an admirable fact this is.
Anyway, Han Jaejoong was caught in a single pass.
If he doesn’t transform, he will die from Libra’s attack, and even if he transforms, he will die from the aftereffects of forcing starlight into his weakened body.
What has already been done cannot be taken back.
No matter how much you regret, the past won’t change.
If you have sinned, you must repent.
If you make a commitment, you must fulfill it.
If you act, you must take responsibility for it.
Because he is broke and has nothing to offer but his life.
He risked his life as always, as his penance, fulfillment, and responsibility.
As the best apology he could, he decided to risk his life.
A unilateral apology may be a nuisance.
However, the complex thinking of being considerate of others was impossible in the brain that lost oxygen due to lack of blood circulation.
Right now, he was consuming most of his stamina just by breathing.
‘little bit more….’
I tried to reach for the belt, but I couldn’t get the strength in my hand. Finally, a belt in the shape of a sphere flew in and caught it in his hand. There was little strength in the fingers, so it was more natural to say that it was placed on it than to say that it was caught.
I felt like Libra was laughing.
‘But how do I transform into this state now? Oh damn, I’m sleepy. Is it because it’s night now? Wasn’t it, was it daytime? ah i don’t know Anyway soon…’
Old memories came back. It reminded me of the days when I was surrounded by various monsters and died with my stomach ripped open.
The past-like dreams and reality were mixed and overlapped like thin cellophane, confounding the vision. Another starlight shimmered in front of Han Jaejoong, who was about to get up.
“Dress up.”
It was Red Vega.
[Dress up your star!]
A colorful ribbon wrapped around the girl’s body, and the ribbon instantly became a flame. Fireworks were scattered in all directions. Libra leaned back, and part of the wreckage was destroyed.
There was no delay for the girl who was wearing magic. He smashed the rest of the small debris on top of Jaejoong Han.
“Quickly.”
Then, he held Jaejoong Han with one arm. Even though the fractured left arm wrapped around the starlight, it was difficult to use.
However, the enhanced strength was enough to lift and carry an adult male with only one arm.
Soon after, she remembered. Underfoot, the flames were compressed as much as possible and spewed out. Like a missile, the girl flew up.
“Ah, don’t worry, I’ll be responsible…”
The end of Red Vega’s words was blurry. Even I wasn’t sure. For ordinary people, flying at high altitudes is quite arduous.
As is the acceleration of gravity, the temperature is quite low in the upper part, and the wind resistance is also strong.
Chances are he will die before taking him to the hospital.
The arm holding the man was damp. because of the blood Blood was still flowing incessantly from his stomach. The iron pipe that was plugged in did not have to be pulled out. If it was pulled out, it would cause more bleeding.
Red Vega was confused. What should I do to save him now?
Is it possible to save it in the first place?
‘…What are you thinking.’
She bit her teeth hard. The thought of giving up was terrifying.
‘After taking them to the hospital, they return to the fight right away. That’s fine.’
He made eye contact with him and smiled as hard as he could.
“I’ll take responsibility and save you.”
Han Jaejoong smiled dejectedly, feeling both proud and sorry for her.
Most of life will be like that, but at the end of life, why are there so many regrets.
In my not-so-long life, many small hours overflowed like grains. Before I could pick it up, it was blown away by the wind, and eventually the few traces left on my hand became regrets.
A starlight appeared again in his field of vision.
‘It’s been a while since I flew.’
Libra followed.
“Get away. How can a hero run away? It’s ugly.”
The heavy fist was directed at them.
Red Vega hugged him with his whole body, just as Han Jaejoong did when the building collapsed. The fist stabbed the girl in the back.
“Keah!”
The flame-emitting feet stirred as if they were swimming in the air, and the feeling of floating that filled the body soon turned into the strong wind of a fall.
Like a paperweight on top of a book, Libra forced her to stay on the ground with her fists.
The ascent was fast, but the fall was even faster. Like the rise and fall of heroes.
Red Vega, who came to his senses just before hitting the ground, tried the reverse injection and flight magic again to reduce the impact of the fall.
bang!
Could it be because it flew too vertically? Crash landed close to collapsed building. A cloud of dust scratched my throat.
“I… must…”
Red Vega muttered in vain. Her arms were already full of blood.
his wounds opened.
It was because of the rough treatment of the patient. The smile he had just squeezed out just now was impossible.
[Currently, an S-class monster appears in B-12 area!]
[There is an S-class monster in Area D-1…]
Several familiar calls for assistance came from the jewel. it was continuous.
no one comes here
The girl’s expression hardened. soon frowned. Tears seemed to flow. endured A hero cannot show tears.
‘What is this doing?’
I didn’t feel it. The life of the person who was laughing and chatting just before is fading.
person in charge of suicide counseling.
It was started to prevent people from taking their own lives. But can’t you find it now?
‘What am I doing?’
The wind was cold.
Every time I breathed in, the cold came in and woke up my shaky consciousness.
It was early winter.
Winter for children close to adults is special.
It’s time to become an adult and decide what to do in earnest.
The choice to divide life is being forced upon children who have not yet lived half of their lives.
By now, everyone else her age would be preparing for the future.
He will risk his life, study, and decide where to burn his youth.
What was the youth to burn to her? what was the future
What should she prepare now?
“I… I must…”
Someone’s words passed through her mind.
-I’m weak.
It was as it was said. I was weak. Because of that, it seemed difficult to keep a single person in front of me, let alone people. No, it was difficult to protect myself.
I just found out with one blow.
The truth is, I knew it before that.
Right now, that monster is too powerful for him to take down.
Even more so with a wounded body.
It would be nice if the speed was slow, but I can speed up more than myself.
Is it possible to evade that monster and save him?
Reality is harsh. The word impossible shook my brain.
“I must…”
I’ll protect you. I couldn’t say a single word. I couldn’t be sure. Even if I’m forced to, I have to say it. It should be a hope for him.
There is only one person who can save him now.
‘Because I’m weak…?’
A drop of the tear I was holding back flowed down my cheek.
There was something to wipe away those tears. It was the hand he was holding.
“Jaejoong…?”
Just as she had smiled earlier, this time he smiled and encouraged the girl.
“It’s okay to run away.”
“…?!”
Red Vega gasped in surprise. What is this person talking about? What are you talking about in danger of dying right away?
“Uh, that can’t be…”
“As I said before, you are more precious and special than you think.”
As he got used to the pain moderately, his mouth mysteriously moved. Jaejoong Han spoke with the girl in a daze like an anesthetized person.
“You’re a comet… but you’re too good to fall from here and lose your light. Don’t fall from here hugging everything. Don’t be sad, don’t beat yourself up.”
Red Vega knew it had to be stopped, but didn’t. His words had strangely strong power. elicited her silence.
“Don’t cry. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Or maybe her subconscious wanted to hear him. I didn’t even know I wanted to be comfortable listening to him.
The wandering girl still needed support.
The magical girl listened to him as a girl.
“You did nothing wrong. All your pain is not your fault. So don’t beat yourself up.”
Han Jaejoong gradually raised his body from her embrace.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a magical girl or not. A person has no duty to save others. There is a difference between moral and obligatory actions. That’s why I’m not responsible for my pain right now. You’re not to blame for this pain, it’s not you. We must blame the monster… for what caused this.”
I wonder if it’s a heirloom counterbalance? As death passed by his nose, Han Jaejoong was able to gain more strength than before.
“I’ll say it again and again. You’re not at fault. So your life shouldn’t be spent on responsibility.”
Han Jaejoong hugged the girl. Like holding a bouquet made of dandelions, he held them carefully and cherished.
Red Vega wasn’t offended.
I didn’t feel the slightest sexual purpose in him.
Only innocently, encouraged the girl.
“Because you are a hero… you must not belittle your life. As a magical girl who protects love and peace, you must learn to love yourself and protect your own peace.”
Her white dress was gradually stained with blood. The abstract concept of his life has been materialized.
“Even a hero is afraid of something scary. There are things to be afraid of.”
Red Vega asked.
“Even though I might abandon you because I’m so afraid…?”
“I do not resent you.”
Jaejoong Han immediately replied.
“I told you before? Run in danger… Now is the time.”
“…”
“What I said, there’s no way you can resent it, right? For a better future, for now, I’m just going backwards to take a runway.”
Jaejoong Han released his arm. There was nothing holding her back.
“You have a lot of better futures. I don’t want me to be your death.”
He met his eyes again and spat out a word.
“Fear is hope.”
“…!”
what I was trying to say before.
Even though the words were delivered in the wrong way.
told it once again
“Fear is not your despair. If you go forward, you cannot see the whole thing and your vision narrows. It’s just stepping back and widening your vision so that you can do more in the future. See your dream, the whole.”
Jaejoong Han pushed the girl.
Red Vega looked into his eyes for a while.
He had a mountain of things he wanted to say and ask, but he was silent now.
“Go. Quickly.”
Han Jaejoong gave the last word.
Soon afterwards, Red Vega, whose face hardened, flew into the sky.
Han Jaejoong looked at the scenery happily.
“Have you made up your mind?”
“It is as you see it.”
As she disappeared from view, Libra was revealed. Kindly, it seems that he gave us time to speak.
“Do you think I’ll leave that girl alone?”
“I have to stop it from happening.”
Han Jaejoong smiled and pulled out the steel frame embedded in his stomach. Sigh! There was a terrible sound of meat twisting.
After pulling it out of his stomach, he raised it like a hero pulling out a holy sword.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!!”
and then rammed it into the ground. Using the steel frame as a crutch, he got up.
“Okay! Prove me your justice!”
“The way you talk is really cheap.”
He grabbed the belt with his trembling right hand.
“Okay, let’s end here today!”
I pressed the belt strongly as if pushing it against my stomach.
A belt strap was attached around the blood-stained waistband.
[Transformation is not recommended now…]
Ignoring Belt’s words, he exclaimed.
“excreta….”
Calm your wobbly feet and move your body. At the end of that blurry vision, I saw the red starlight.
The distant starlight that strikes hotly like a meteor.
Before long, the starlight hit the monster’s head. nice fly.
Kwak!
Libra flew backwards, and the girl steadfastly put her feet on the ground.
“…I decided not to hold grudges, right?”
“…I’ll turn around.”
Red Vega has appeared once again.
