5 – Have you ever seen a star?
[Wake up.]
“Uhhhhh!”
I picked up the brochure that was covering my eyes at the sound of the belt waking me up and put the artificial fluorescent light into my eyes. As the sharp brightness of civilization swept through my eyes, my dark consciousness brightened for a moment.
“Uh…”
In return, I got dizziness. The eyes that couldn’t adjust to the light chose to squint, and the vision became dim again.
“Uh… Hey?”
“Yeah?”
When I heard someone calling, I turned to see a familiar face.
“This is the counseling center, right…?”
“Ah yes….”
He shyly nodded and said hello. In the sight that moves up and down, I glanced at the opponent in front of my eyes.
That gorgeous outfit, no doubt.
red vega.
‘Why is this friend here…?’
I couldn’t stop admiring the appearance of a girl who looked exactly like the one I saw last night. It was true that silence rather than fuss would come if people were too frightened.
Just like the reaction I had when I encountered the monster, I was short of breath and cold sweat flowed like dew in midsummer. It’s only been a day since we met again like this. Should I call this destiny or call it bad luck?
While the citizens trembled in fear at the sight of a monster, I alone trembled at the sight of a magical girl.
“Hey… if you’re here for advice…”
“Oh yes. My name is Han Jaejoong.”
“Ah, yes. I…”
Fortunately, the tremors had meanings other than fear.
pleasure.
“I know! It’s Red Vega?!”
Fans who actually met the idols they only saw on TV. More than that, the joy was in me. Yesterday was so hectic that I couldn’t really feel it.
Thinking back, I came to the world I used to be a fan of and got a chance to actually face my favorite kids.
For an otaku, what could be a greater joy than this?
‘I’m sure there won’t be a sudden fight here…?’
I turned my eyes and looked at the belt. Fortunately, the quest did not occur. Transformation was not necessary.
“…! Yes, that is correct!”
Red Vega smiled broadly and stanceed as if he was glad that he was recognized.
“Since you didn’t hear it before, let me introduce you again!”
A splendid self-introduction began with a performance of red stars popping out of fingers.
“Hello! Like a comet in your heart! The red star Red Vega has appeared here!”
“Wow!!”
clap clap clap.
I clapped my hands loud enough that I couldn’t believe it was my own applause. It was an exaggerated reaction, but there was no other way.
Magical girls often do public service activities, so maybe Red Vega became a temporary counselor for an event.
Red Vega has a high self-esteem and a ruthless personality. A typical benevolent person who honestly accepts the favor that comes to him and returns it accordingly.
By sending such a positive response, you might build a positive relationship with her later.
The end of the golden age of magical girls is the death of all the core magical girls.
As Red Vega is the main character, he grows up to the final chapter, but eventually dies.
So the world perishes.
‘I can never leave it like that.’
It wasn’t too bad considering that the fact that he opened up to a magical girl like this was all a fate to prevent that crazy ending. It was even better because the belt was quiet and we didn’t meet without knowing my identity.
Positive thinking always helps the world.
“Ahahahaha, I’m glad you responded so happily! Eight more stars!”
“That, that! Fan service…! Ah, Red Vega, you are a true magical girl…!!”
Responding like a retarded child is also the most sincere. Isn’t it said that people become stupid when they see things they like? I was actually sincere.
By the way.
‘Is this Red Vega’s catchphrase? Hearing it in person is cuter.’
It can be mistaken for mere self-PR, but there is a reason why magical girls have lines like this one by one.
reappearance.
That belt measured every time I wrote a skill.
Of course, that standard also exists for magical girls.
In exchange for gaining star power, they are assigned a role.
The assigned role is an ideal image of oneself that the person himself did not know, and the closer he gets to that ideal image, the stronger he can become.
It is here that the power of a magical girl lies in love and peace.
Their ideals aspire to heroes who protect love and peace.
The Catsphrase is like self-hypnosis needed to further solidify that identity.
The act of linking oneself to a magical girl more firmly by holding lines that are separated from everyday life.
that’s the line
That’s why I didn’t think that line was embarrassing.
Even though she’s out of her infancy, she’s still wearing a ruffled miniskirt dress and pigtails and lines that look like they’ll appear on a children’s program!
Because Red Vega is a hero and an actor who strives to perfectly portray his ideal!
‘It’s amazing.’
I would never do that with my face off. I wouldn’t be able to do it even if I wanted to because of this body.
“Ahahahaha… I’m glad it’s brighter than I thought. Yes! That kind of power is more important than anything else!”
“…?”
Oh right. This is now a suicide counseling center.
“Oh right! Why were you sleeping earlier? I was so surprised!”
“I’m just sleepy…?”
“…That’s right!”
In that short silence, there must have been an impression like ‘a savage bastard who climbs up on the desk and sleeps because he is sleepy’. I understand. But I also hope for your understanding. I’m so sleepy, what should I do?
As the slightly awkward silence flowed, I was the first to rhyme.
“Um…but what do you usually do with counseling? I’ve never done anything like this before.”
“It’s nothing special. If I ask a question, Mr. Han Jaejoong just needs to be honest.”
“Honestly?”
“Yes. Sometimes people feel comfortable just talking honestly. For now, just being honest is enough!”
Red Vega smiled harmlessly. Just by looking at that smile, he could feel the trust that he wouldn’t do any harm. It felt like a moment of lifesaving at the scene.
‘As expected of a magical girl.’
This is the smile of a hero who protects everyone. I opened my mouth in admiration.
Many things could not be said.
I didn’t even get emotional while talking about hard things.
Because I’m not Han Jaejoong. It was all about spitting out a brief and concise life history, drawing out the story written in the suicide note and the story obtained from the original story.
The more specific it is, the more books there are for nothing. Han Jaejoong’s life story ran out in less than five minutes.
“I see!”
It was a strange life story, but Red Vega did not carelessly sympathize. The attitude towards a person who wants to commit suicide is not too bad. but…..
“…”
“…”
“there….”
“It’s over.”
“Yeah?”
“I’ve told you all about my life.”
“Ah! That’s right!”
immature The ‘girl’ part of the magical girl was definitely felt.
There was another awkward silence. While maintaining a harmless smile, he started flipping through the book Red Vega brought. That’s just the manual.
‘Did you meet the person who wanted to commit suicide without reading this friend’s manual?’
It wasn’t so strange considering that she was a little kid who couldn’t even be a newcomer to society. Does it make sense to order a child who has a hard time taking care of himself due to many things to take care of others?
So what are you really doing now?
sparkle.
At that moment, the ribbon decorating Red Vega’s chest flickered red for a very short time. A signal that seems to announce something.
dispatch order.
As soon as he saw the signal, Red Vega turned around with a puzzled expression.
“Oh over there…”
[Monster detected.]
Oh shit. it was me too
“I’m sorry, but would it be all right if we ended today’s consultation? I have an urgent business.”
“Ah… that’s right.”
I quickly got up from my seat. Just like he did when he left the police station before.
“there!”
Red Vega was smiling bashfully.
“thanks!”
“What?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know. You were considerate of me, right?”
“…it’s not like that.”
Not really.
“I’m sorry. Instead… I’ll buy you something delicious next time!”
“What’s next?”
“Yes! Next! Next week at this time!”
Red Vega pointed a finger down to this counseling room. It was a firm and immovable promise that did not even assume rejection.
“Yes, then next week at this time.”
“…! Yes, absolutely!!! Next week!!! At this time!!!!”
He is such a bright and energetic boy. It’s a massive tension that seems to suck even my energy. I wondered what would happen if I fell into depression because I was hit, but fortunately I didn’t have to worry about that.
“Then! Red Vega, the red star that came and went like a comet in your heart, I’ll leave first!!”
Red Vega, who greeted her bravely until the end, threw herself through the window instead of the door and left the counseling center. Suddenly, through the forest of buildings beyond the window, I saw a flying object that looked like a fire moth.
Of course, it was Red Vega. It was flying splendidly, scattering my red starlight. As I followed her with my eyes, another command came from the belt.
[Transform and kill the monster. The price for noncompliance is death.]
“Yes, I know. Don’t rush.”
Turning my back on her, I cried out too.
“transform.”
[ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATION.]
It was because he couldn’t face the terrible end of being beaten to death by the belt. As much as I came to the suicide prevention counseling center, it is not polite to struggle with death as much as possible.
[THE BIG DIPPER.]
A dark light that was different from before flashed in the room alone.
**
[MEGREZ.]
When I buckled my belt, it recited only one star instead of all my stars.
Megrez.
The name of the star connecting the dipper and handle of the Big Dipper.
As the name was called out, a black halo appeared from the belt, covering the green armor and discoloring it black.
Distinct dark green spikes protruded from the shoulder armor, and the leg armor changed into a sharp shape.
the darkest star.
It gave her unconventional power, befitting her role and personality of connecting stars who have a lecherous temperament and enjoy drinking.
It’s none other than Go.
I stretched out my arms straight out and cupped my hands in a circle, and the starlight gathered in it, capturing a vivid reality.
The finished product was a bike.
I got on it naturally.
‘I don’t have a license.’
Well, I don’t even have a vigilante activity license, but a motorcycle license is a big deal. I covered my face and hit a magical girl and a monster, but I only had a two-wheel drive.
Anyway, I know how to use it. Just like how to fight, the direct control method is hardwired into the brain, so you can’t know it unless you know it.
Besides, it’s not even a road bike.
‘This is how I ride the Vroomi that I couldn’t ride because I was afraid of my life.’

Vureung.
the rooftop. If I went forward like this, I started the engine without even thinking about falling.
As if he didn’t feel any fear, the bike charged without hesitation.
But there was no way I would fall.
The wheel rolled once and the sky folded.
After rolling twice, it advanced through the folded sky.
Truly an axe. No, it was Chukcheonbeop.
Because I was able to reach a distance in seconds where others would fly in minutes.
I was able to reach the quest location safely without encountering Red Vega.
This time it was a group.
A swarm of double-walking monsters that looked like caterpillars were bringing chaos to the city.
Just in time, a monster was spreading his hand at the citizen right below me.
“That friend is true.”
I turned off the bike. The bike, which had been floating in the sky until just now, fell vertically and lightly stepped on the monster’s head.
Tang-! Ugh support!
The compressed head couldn’t properly store the ink-like blood inside, and sent it out like a bursting tomato to the surroundings. The range was so large that it was like a volcano erupting. Evidence that was life was spewed out freely in all directions.
Unfortunately, the black blood splashed onto the face of the person who was about to be attacked. That’s pretty bad, I’m sorry. Especially if you are a fan of public transportation.
On the way back home to take a shower, you’ll get noticed quite a bit.
“…”
“You’re out of luck.”
The man with blood all over his face seemed so shocked that he couldn’t even speak.
“…uh, uh…”
“If you keep idly here, you’ll be attacked more by those guys over there, right? You can afford it, right?”
He pointed his finger at the back. To match my insect-like appearance, there were people there who swarmed together like a swarm of insects.
“Why are you still standing still? Do you want to die here?”
“aaa!!!”
That’s right. Scream a lot. That way the stress doesn’t dissipate. The citizen, whose face turned white (due to his black blood, did not show up properly), finally ran away.
I looked around at the monsters heading this way, leaving the civilians behind.
At that moment, Belt spoke again.
[Speak the lines of appearance.]
Oh, did that apply to me too?
[It will help you draw out the power of the stars. It is recommended that you start making it now for your future life as a guardian.]
I will turn
If you suddenly ask me to think of something like that, it won’t come to mind…
‘Ah, there’s one.’
I don’t have to make it myself. Originally, it was said that imitation is the mother of creation. It would be enough to roughly follow the line that seems to have been made by someone.
– Have you ever seen the stars?
What popped into my head was the article when I first met this world. The first lines of the magical girl’s heyday prologue.
I said as I relaxed my stiff body from the shock of the fall.
“Have you ever seen a star?”
With those words, he rushed at the group of monsters.
