83 – Loss, Preparation (5)
Rain made of lightning.
Many people sighed and screamed at this rarely seen disaster. It was a disaster that was hard to believe was caused by just one monster.
Although most of the building’s electrical facilities were shut down, there was no need for a new light source.
The entire sky was bright. After one thunderbolt, three thunderbolts struck without any delay. There was no need for light as tens of thousands of thunderbolts covered the sky.
The sound of thunder and crying mixed together, creating a feeling of hell. In the middle of it all were magical girls.
-Come here! Come this way!
-If you are injured, please come here!
-I will protect you!
Someone led the evacuation, someone treated the injured, and someone used their bodies and magic to protect people from lightning.
And someone resisted the monster even though they knew it would be futile.

“Holy sh*t….”
Orange Altair was one of them.
They fired arrows endlessly, but most of them were struck by lightning and turned into ashes before they could reach the monsters. Even the arrows that landed didn’t do much damage. This was because the lightning wrapped around his body blocked arrows like armor.
If I took a little more time to condense the magic power and fire it out, it might cause damage. I couldn’t do that.
The arrows fired continuously from high places served as good shields to block lightning from the sky, and this made evacuation easier.
If the number of barrages was reduced, it was obvious that civilians would be harmed. Certain protection and an uncertain attack that may or may not work. Of the two, the one I would choose was the former.
My eyes were tired from the torrential downpour of lightning flashing like crazy. For a moment she took her eyes off and observed what the other was doing. Even during this, her hands did not stop.
Most of the people who tried to inflict effective damage on monsters were no different from Orange Altair.
“aaah! Why can’t I get so much strength! Ganbare (Cheer up)~ We trash!!! If you can’t even attack, why are you alive!!! Just cine (die)!!! “Oh, you’re already dead.”
Looking towards White Davih, Orange Altair sighed heavily. It was a good opportunity for me to promise myself that I would never end up like that.
It would have been a better situation if those skeleton soldiers had been evacuated a little instead of pointlessly advancing into the thunderstorm.
In the meantime, I saw a new light emerging from the center of the thunderbolt. It was an incredible amount of light. He could easily erase the flash of lightning and dye it with his own color.
Familiar pink.
Suddenly, Orange Altair became dazed. Her hands, which had been constantly pulling the strings, stopped for a split second.
“…Deneb?”
It was a familiar starlight that should no longer be seen.

[ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATION!]
What came out of the belt was a powerful mechanical sound. Astronomical observations recited in the mascot’s voice.
Jo Ayun saw the stars.
A star so bright that you might be blinded. A star filled with bright pink light. But it’s a small star.
She also knew this star.
“…Deneb.”
The star I saw when I became a magical girl. A star that came down like a shooting star to her as she cherished her earnest wish.
Although it was a small light, it was by no means shabby.
I reached out my hand and touched the majesty of seeing it again.
“Yes, I forgot about you too.”
Jo Ayun has no dreams. Nevertheless, the star came to grant the wish. She didn’t do it to protect her own dreams, she did it to give her a chance to protect someone else’s dreams.
“I’m sorry.”
But as time passed, Jo Yoon gradually forgot her gratitude for the stars. Circumstances overwhelmed my will, fatigue consumed my good intentions, and weakness erased my courage.
“I won’t forget now.”
Deneb.
This star with the name of the tail was her tail.
It was an uncomfortable being that I always wanted to get rid of, and at the same time, it was a love-hate existence that lost balance the moment it disappeared.
“And, I won’t be embarrassed.”
[Deneb!]
The name of the first star was called.
“It may be shameless, but I have one more thing to say.”
This time, she found and chose the star that came to Jo Ayun.
“You alone is not enough.”
She was no longer passively chosen. She herself chose the light and drew the lines.
[Denebola!]
Denebola, a star in the constellation Leo.
[Deneb Kaitos!]
Deneb Kaitos, a star in the constellation Cetus.
[Deneb Algedi!]
Deneb Al-Gadi, a star in Capricorn.
[Deneb Dulfim!]
Deneb Dulfin, a star in the constellation Dolphin.
Four additional stars with tail names were selected.
I personally chose the names of the tails I always wanted to erase.
A constellation is a mark in the sky that was created by a person by connecting stars that did not originally exist.
Then, a person can also name stars that are far away from each other.
Jo Yoon was with her own potential as her tail.
“I don’t have to be a body. “A tail is enough.”
There is no need for attention. No need for attention. There is no need to shine with a great sense of duty or justice. Other people are enough for such protagonists. What she wants is not protagonists, but a world where these protagonists can shine.
“As long as we can connect, that’s enough.”
That’s why she is a tail.
A period, not a sentence.
A comma connects sentences.
This is enough.
Even if you are at the end, if you can provide stability to someone who is constantly running, that is enough.
The possibilities she observed were realized in this form.
Five different stars were connected to complete one existing constellation.
[CASSIOPEIA!]
Cassiopeia.
It became a bridge leading to the North Star. A W-shaped constellation that looks like a bird flapping its wings.
The constellation drawn to connect someone shining, paradoxically, seemed to have ascended to the sky as the queen.
Five shades of pink light circled Jo Ayun’s body. She placed her hands on her belt, which was spread out in the shape of an M. I pressed down on her right wing. As she let go, the folded wings elastically and slowly regained their original shape.
The mechanical sound came out again.
[CONSTELLATION OBSERVATION!]
I saw a constellation.
Now that you’ve seen it, all that’s left is to get closer.
I just wrap that sparkle around my body.
[Are You Ready?]
Belt, her mascot asked once again.
Are you ready?
Are you ready to throw away your happiness, are you ready to throw away your well-being and peace?
Are you ready to take on the challenge of endless hardship?
Are you ready to lose the peace you could have had?
“What’s new?”
Once again, I just recited the answer from before.
Jo Ayun does not have the courage to dream.
“It has already been happening for a long time.”
But we have the courage to protect our dreams.
Because she has been a magical girl for a long time. Because she was a guardian.
Quaaang! A strong light soared all the way to the sky.
A ray of sacred light flowed as if a fairy had descended, and someone wearing pink armor decorated with white feathers and white wings walked out.
Soon the rays of light died down and gathered around her chest. Her ornaments arose in the form of her constellation Cassiopeia and adorned her.
“You have to give what you have to give.”
Aquila could not ignore that light. I lowered my gaze towards the arrogant bastard who cut off my head.
“Hoo.”
Even while I was angry, I couldn’t help but be amazed. The appearance was clearly that of a monster, but what was felt was the power of a magical girl, and at the same time, the power of that magical girl existed in multiple forms.
The presence of five magical girls gathered together. Aquila chuckled.
“Even ants flinch when they step on them. I guess they have the talent to protect themselves in situations like this.”
Aquila smiled arrogantly and moved her hand again. Tens of thousands of thunderbolts moved according to his touch. It seemed like a colony of organic matter made of lightning was moving.
“Wait a moment. “After I punish this bastard, I will have you.”
Tens of thousands of lightning bolts merged into one large thunderbolt.
“Just sleep a little.”
Kwakwang! A bolt of lightning the size of a living plant came down to the ground. Her goal is towards her.
“You? Me? “It’s terrible.”
But the lightning did not reach the ground. The thunderbolt was torn in half gracefully. A frivolous laugh was heard amid the crackling thunderbolt.
“I’m too expensive for someone like you to have me.”
Tung, she lightly shook her hand. What flowed from her fingertips was a star resembling a butterfly. Aquila dodged her shuriken by simply nodding her head.
But at that moment. The butterfly and her positions were reversed.
In an instant, she was flying in the sky and looked down at Aquila and shouted loudly.
“Listen carefully!”
Her outstretched feet came down towards Aquila.
“The only thing your bastard will have is death, you damn thing!!!”
Before Aquila could react, her kick hit Aquila’s head. Wow! With a light hitting sound, the body and head of the lightning were separated. His head flew through the sky once again.
“How dare you…!”
Aquila tried to create the body of a thunderbolt again. But just before the lightning struck, a shadow appeared over his head.
A black-eyed monster whose entire body is made of white lightning. It was a watcher. He raised his large, cumbersome ax high.
And then he took the picture.
Kwakwang! Thunder rose and Aquila’s head fell to the ground without any delay.
“Go, how dare you…!”
“What are you?”
She, who had been on the ground first for some time, kicked Aquila’s head as if it were a soccer ball.
Above her, the Watcher, who was falling under the acceleration of gravity, swung her ax, aiming at her head.
A slash for both sides. But her Aquila head never split. In the end, the Watcher decided to pin her head to the ground just as the ax struck her.
Kwagwagwang! There was a loud noise like a huge tree splitting, and Aquila’s head was buried deep in the ground.
Aquila is still not dead. The Watcher swung her ax again. She was faster than Aquila. He spewed out lightning in all directions. The lightning that erupted in the shape of a golden crown lightly melted and burned the surroundings like melting chocolate.
“That won’t work.”
Just before the lightning struck the Watcher’s body, she threw a butterfly-shaped star. In two directions simultaneously. One towards the Watcher, and one into thin air where the lightning did not reach.
When the butterfly touched the Watcher, he was immediately transported into the air.
The ability to teleport, connecting end to end like a bridge. The abilities she once had were once again in her hands.
“How dare you do these things to me…!”
“That thing is so f*cking strong.”
Aquila was furious and went wild. No one here was frightened by the anger.
One held the butterfly’s dagger, and the other raised the axe.
Behind her, the elegant winged garment swayed, and behind the Watcher’s back, lightning, which took the form of a cloak, shook ceaselessly.
There was nothing said between the two. The Watcher was so focused on her goal that she didn’t even notice her. Also, there was no particular reason to get rid of her as she helped deal with her enemies. That’s why the Watcher neglected her. The Watcher had no feelings for her. Worry, gratitude, sadness. Now he has lost everything.
She looked at the Watcher. Looking at the amount of lightning, it seemed that the next 30 seconds would be the limit for maintaining its strength.
“That’s enough.”
Behind the helmet, where no expression was visible, her expression was unmistakably smiling. She pointed her finger at the Watcher.
“Oppa, let’s finish with him first.”
The butterfly flew. The butterfly that passed behind Aquila’s head suddenly switched places with Joa Yoon. To her proud head she spoke her last words.
“Are you ready to dance with the stars?”
“Suddenly I heard something….”
At the same time, he threw the butterfly. One butterfly soared into the sky, and another touched her head in her aquila.
In this way, Aquila’s head was moved to the sky. The story didn’t end with just one butterfly. Tens of thousands of butterflies embroidered around him.
“Oh, no….”
Aquila, who had already guessed her abilities, muttered in anxiety. She tried to scatter the butterflies by flashing her lightning, but the light just passed by. He couldn’t push the butterfly away.
One of the butterflies disappeared, and she appeared and hit her on the head with her aquila. Then one disappeared again, and the Watcher appeared and cut off his head.
There are still tens of thousands of butterflies left.
7.11 Seconds when Aquila’s head falls back to the ground. In those 7.11 Seconds, tens of thousands of butterflies disappeared and tens of thousands of kicks and slashes were repeated.
Hojeopjikak (胡蝶之脚).
Tens of thousands of trajectories decorated the sky, so fleeting and fleeting that one could not tell what was a butterfly and what was an attack. A few seconds for pink and white lines to be drawn.
For just a few seconds, Aquila experienced the pain of endless hell. No matter how strong my head was, I couldn’t survive this endless pain.
Just before his head hit the ground, it turned into powder and scattered.
“I guess I wasn’t ready.”
Jo Ayun muttered as she looked at the insignificant end of the arrogant monster.
The sky had cleared up before I knew it.
The last day of lightning thrown into that dry sky.
“…Is your brother like that too?”
Watcher, she muttered sadly as she looked at Han Jaejoong.
