Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 255
255 – Contradiction (3)
Humans whose bodies are filled with starlight, represented by magical girls, recover very quickly. It was the same for Han Jaejoong.
Despite the serious injuries of being stabbed in the abdomen and rupturing the Achilles tendon, his condition quickly improved.
Three days after regaining consciousness, he was able to walk little by little.
The doctor said sarcastically as he watched him walk with such difficulty.
-‘A man walking three days after cutting his Achilles tendon… I wonder how the citizens felt when they saw Jesus, who made a lame man stand up and a blind man open his eyes. Oh, I guess I’ll have to go to a mental hospital too.’
The power to create miracles. It seemed like he was sick of seeing superhumans with that kind of power.
Five days later, when he was able to walk freely using crutches, the doctor gave him one right.
Right to go out. It was the right to go to a place larger than this hospital area.
Of course, he was not discharged because he still needed care.
A customer came to him who obtained a ticket to go out like that.
It was Baek A-hee.
-‘Do you remember that you are helping me with my special training?’
It was about special training that had been promised in the past. She felt a strong pressure on her.
When Han Jaejoong tried to postpone the work with the excuse that she was still sick, she protested, saying that she had to do it right away.
-‘Haven’t you learned that if you don’t keep your promise, your hair will be blown away?’
There was some paraphrasing, but it was close to this feeling.
It’s like saying, if you don’t follow it, be prepared.
In the end, Han Jaejoong returned to headquarters for the first time in a long time.
The Magical Girl Headquarters has many facilities for magical girls. From rest facilities to enemy trend analysis facilities, conference and meeting rooms, detention rooms, laboratories, etc.
Among them, of course, there are facilities to improve their skills.
While there is also a physical fitness room that resembles an ordinary gym.
A facility designed to train magic.
There is also a so-called special training room.
Han Jaejoong opened his mouth and looked around. It was his first time coming here too.
Located deep underground, it was as large as an average soccer field.
The floor, ceiling, and walls were all filled with a white grid pattern.
The grid was a super alloy used in evacuation bunkers. It was a special tile that was even coated with magic. It has the ability to self-repair even if it gets scratched.
As I was looking around, a red light appeared and disappeared.
“Now it’s time to keep your promise!”
Baek Ah-hee clenched her fists and laughed. She had suddenly transformed and her red hair was flowing.
An outfit characterized by abundant frills and ribbons, as if a sailor uniform was measured in the style of a Western dress. I could feel the blazing heat around it.
“It’s special training time!”
“Even if you were to help me in the first place… what and how are you supposed to help me?”
Jaejoong Han asked a fundamental question.
“What are you talking about that you don’t know!”
White shouted.
Wherever Han Jaejoong is, of course she is there too. At this point, it had become a formula.
“When you make a special move, you need at least one person to teach you! That one word he suddenly said became the impetus for me to complete my special move at a critical time! “Isn’t it basic!”
“That’s right. “I know it well.”
“That’s about a cartoon….”
“It’s reality to me!!!!!”
“Uh…yeah.”
Han Jaejoong nodded his head hesitantly. He had no choice but to argue.
A normal person is one of these. Even if I voiced a normal opinion, it was obvious that I would be suppressed by the majority.
“ruler! I will make as many sandbags as you want! “Let’s test Jiknyeo’s new power!”
“But it’s only one day.”
“yes?”
“Are you ready for the press conference?”
“oh.”
Apart from the approaching onslaught of contradictions, the time for the previously scheduled press conference has also arrived.
It was a press conference to announce that Yoon Seol-hwa and Haru would return to their normal activities. Everyone already knows this, but there is a big difference whether it is officially said or not.
It was also a time to clarify the misunderstandings they had accumulated over the years.
That date was the day before the contradiction attack.
That means it was tomorrow.
“Well, that’s… tonight! “I’ll get ready at night!”
“You’re going to waste time visiting strange community sites again.”
“Oh, no! jeon….”
“It’s a day.”
Han Jaejoong said with a smile.
“Just do it now. And get tested by me and Ayun. Really, if you use ‘It’s me, you b*stards’ as your first words, I’ll kill you, so just know that.”
“Ugh why!!! “I’m sure there will be a lot of positive reactions on the internet!!!”
“The Internet world is not real… Swearing is not pleasant, it is vulgar and unpleasant… Just don’t do it if you don’t want to do it!!!”
Han Jae-joong, whose emotions grew stronger the further he went, shouted.
Because I had seen what she had prepared in the past, I reacted even more loudly. As she saw the content, which was filled with all kinds of Internet memes, hateful words, and profanity, her shocked memories came back to her.
“It’s tomorrow, tomorrow! Get ready quickly!!!”
“Hey… Master only hates me!!!”
One day, he turned around and ran away, wiping away tears with the back of his hand. bang! She kicked down the door and headed outside. But I couldn’t go too far. I didn’t want to get away from Han Jae-joong.
She pressed against the door, took out her cell phone, and began writing down anticipated questions and answers from the press conference.
I will use it extremely well and flatten Han Jaejoong’s nose.
That passion burned within her.
“Oh, I wonder what I will be when I grow up.”
Han Jaejoong looked at the closed door and sighed.
“Hehe.”
Baek Ah-hee giggled looking at him like that.
“It’s like parent and child.”
“Me and him?”
“yes.”
Although he was embarrassed for a moment, Han Jaejoong nodded, thinking that it might feel that way in some way.
“Haru has a childish side. “Isn’t that why it’s lovely?”
“I want you to be human before being lovely.”
When I saw the original, I felt like it was my favorite character. Just like Haru said, it was cheerful. But it was the feeling of seeing a character in a creative work. When it becomes reality and you encounter it as a real person rather than a character, your emotions change.
“Ahi, don’t ask me too much. Sometimes I nag…”
“Hey, you shouldn’t nag too much. “Sometimes you need someone to help you out.”
Just looking at Baek Ah-hee was like that.
“Jaejoong nags me to do well, and I respect freedom. “Wouldn’t raising a child with these two positions lead to good growth?”
My perspective on her has changed a lot.
“…You’re talking about one day, right?”
“Yes, of course I was talking about how to lead the day. Oh my, then you really thought we were raising a child between the two of us? Aha, Jaejoong imagines something like that with me. Hmm~?”
It’s a little different from Haru’s case.
“Jaejoong, if you have children, how many do you think you would like?”
“Let’s do what we wanted to do.”
“You mean I move my body so hard and end up panting?”
“You’re talking like a beggar, Ahee.”
“Okay then just keep looking at me. “Keep going… until I get red and collapse.”
“Oh, please speak up.”
In her case, more than just her perspective changing, she herself has changed a lot.
Her giggling eyes became a little softer than when they contained only justice.
I still felt a strange sense of madness, but at least it didn’t bother me.
“Yes, then! “Let’s start special training!”
Hwareuk. There was a flame in her fist. The flame burned deeper and more intensely and became more condensed. The pendant around her neck sparkled and reflected the light.
The flame gradually compressed and radiated more strongly. Gradually, it became difficult to distinguish between colors. At first glance, it looked white, like the color of the sun in the sky. The light was so strong that my eyesight felt tired. Slowly, it was difficult for Han Jaejoong to even face that.
The flame surrounding the fist suddenly became a complete sphere.
“Hey!”
Baek A-hee swung his fist towards the front.
Then the flames inside flew around.
disappeared.
“hmm?”
Like a candle being blown away by the wind, the condensed flames scattered helplessly.
It almost felt as if the majesty shown just before had been a lie.
“Ehehe….”
Baek Ah-hee scratched her head and laughed as if embarrassed.
“You did well during Libra.”
“Yes… So I’m trying to remember from that time, but… it’s not working. lol.”
Having trouble replicating the attack that fatally injured Libra was the crisis that Baek A-hee now faced.
[Oh, how pathetic. Is that my next red?]
Belt, who watched this, mocked her.
“Should I still use my legs? I use my feet well. “You once advised me to deviate from Sky Polaris’ fighting methods… Ah, I should try it too!”
Baek Ah-hee’s legs gathered flames like just before.
And, it failed again.
**
Baek A-hee’s failure continued for several hours.
After finishing preparing for the press conference, Haru was examined by Han Jaejoong and rejected, so he went back and prepared again, repeating the process about five times.
She didn’t succeed in that attack.
“Huh… gasp….”
Before I knew it, one day I was lying on his lap and falling asleep. Baek A-hee also had limits to her physical strength and magic power, so it was impossible to challenge her any further.
The amount of magical energy used in one attack was large, so I had to rest several times, but I had finally reached my limit.
“Aheeya.”
“yes…,”
“You too, get some rest now.”
“yes….”
Baek Ah-hee sat down next to Han Jae-joong and collapsed. She wrapped her arms around Han Jaejoong’s neck and leaned against him.
“I’m sticky with sweat… I feel bad…”
“But why are you doing this to me?”
“I hope Jaejoong knows how I feel.”
“If you’re feeling bad, feel bad alone. “It’s making me sticky too.”
“Ugh… it’s too much….”
Her sweat adhered stickily to her skin. Han Jae-joong pushed her cheek away, and Baek A-hee was helplessly pushed away.
“Then I want to write here too.”
I gave up hugging him and instead chose to lie down. Baek Ah-hee chose the other knee where Haru was not lying and lay down.
“Do you know that I am the one with the injured leg?”
“Uhm… then.”
Baek Ah-hee stood up, adjusted her posture, and sat down. Then, instead of his knee, she chose his shoulder and leaned on it.
“Is this okay?”
“Lean against the wall.”
“Hehe, you don’t like it?”
The voice was close. Her hot breath tickled the back of her neck.
“It’s so hard… Jaejoong, what didn’t you think while watching my special training?”
“It looks difficult.”
“Yes, it’s really hard. But other than that, do you have any advice or anything like that?”
“Not really….”
“Wow, that’s too much. “It’s useless.”
Baek Ah-hee smiled and hugged his arm.
“It’s a lie. Just being this close gives me strength. In fact, if Jaejoong wasn’t there, I would have collapsed a long time ago.”
“You speak beautifully.”
“I want to look pretty to Jaejoong.”
“….”
“I’m kidding. “Jaejoong already owns someone.”
“….”
“Why are you looking like that? “You know I like to play pranks!”
Baek Ah-hee frowned as if protesting, then raised the corners of her mouth as if she had a good idea.
“Oh, I was hoping it wasn’t a joke?”
“no.”
“Tch, this isn’t fun.”
I don’t know if he was sincere, but he seemed quite offended. Han Jaejoong still didn’t know her. How much of her is nonsense and how much is sincere?
In the original, she was playful but not the type to lie.
Most of the jokes were based on sincerity.
But she has changed. It has become easier to say lies. In a way, it is safe to say that he has become more clever.
“Jaejoong, don’t you plan on transforming again?”
“Yes.”
“I think it’s fortunate, but it’s also a little sad.”
Baek Ah-hee buried her head in his shoulder and shook her head. The sweet scent mixed with smoke irritated his nose.
“I wanted to fight with Jaejoong, but I also wanted to play the role of protecting Jaejoong… Because I was always the only one protected.”
With those words, he stopped shaking his head and looked up. Her red eyes looked at Han Jaejoong.
“If we fight together, will Jaejoong reveal his identity like we did? I heard everything. I heard you were seduced by a unicorn? If you’re going to be active, won’t you join our agency? Hehe, then Jaejoong will be a magical girl and not a magical girl. Magic man. Manam? Phew.”
Baek Ah-hee kept laughing because what was so funny? It was still an innocent smile.
“You know what? Originally, magical girls also worked in secret. A hero who secretly defeats evil without revealing his identity… However, one by one, their identities are revealed, and a headquarters is inevitably set up to protect them. At first, it was not a headquarters but an association. “A secret society.”
Baek A-hee stopped laughing and started talking again.
“I guess that’s why… I have a bit of admiration for such secret things.”
When she smiled like that, she was more feminine than girlish.
Along with the hot scent, I could feel the s*xiness.
“You too, Jaejoong?”
“what.”
“Secret, secret matter. “You like it.”
“I don’t really….”
From noble mtl dot net
“Oh, wasn’t it?”
Baek Ah-hee moved her arms to bring Han Jae-joong to her stomach.
“You did this and didn’t say anything to me? I was really scared? But even though you were my counselor, you didn’t say anything… You like secrets, right?”
Something that happened once.
That was when Han Jae-joong assaulted Baek A-hee.
Until then, Baek Ah-hee did not know Han Jae-joong’s identity.
It was a kind of bondage, like original sin, that forced him to follow her words.
“that….”
“Of course I’m joking. I don’t care. “In Jaejoong’s case, it was almost like he couldn’t reveal it even if he wanted to…”
Baek Ah-hee trailed off.
She knows his trauma. Fear of stares and rumors. I understand it.
“But now everyone in the world knows Jaejoong. “I just wanted to know, but it was really disappointing.”
Overcoming fear is difficult. It’s like that for everyone. Even more so if it is a fear worse than the fear of death.
There are many things that are more fearful than dying.
Right now, Baek A-hee has it too.
That was Han Jaejoong’s death.
“The problem is that Jaejoong doesn’t like it.”
Baek A-hee doesn’t know the extent of Han Jae-joong’s fear. I know it’s severe.
Even just one photo was enough to spark a fight.
“You’re still scared, right? Appearing in front of people. “I can’t even watch TV or the internet properly yet.”
Baek A-hee knows how Han Jae-joong sometimes gets scared when Haru points at his smartphone screen.
“I’ll just keep it to myself. There are a lot of secrets between me and Jaejoong, right? “It would be okay to add one more.”
That’s why she asked.
“Jaejoong, do you really want to fight again?”
Can you overcome your fear and stand in front of the public? Do you have the confidence to proudly call yourself a hero in front of citizens?
“Even though everyone knows Jaejoong and everyone is looking at you, do you still want to fight and endure those stares?”
Han Jaejoong closed his lips for a moment and was silent. After a very brief thought, he pursed his lips. He looked into Baek Ah-hee’s eyes and answered seriously.
“of course.”
Baek Ah-hee laughed after hearing the answer.
“also….”
A reaction that seemed to believe that he would answer that way.
It was the answer I actually believed.
Baek Ah-hee still had otaku tendencies. If Choi Ae shows her cool side, and if that side of her matches her own interpretation, she feels a thrill of joy.
That was it now.
Baek A-hee said.
“In return for Jaejoong telling me a secret, I’ll tell you a secret too!”
“No, it wasn’t really a secret….”
“Actually…”
Baek Ah-hee ignored Han Jae-joong’s objection and continued speaking.
“I’m guessing why my special move wasn’t completed.”
“…what?”
Han Jaejoong was dumbfounded and asked back. Then why didn’t you fix it and go through all this trouble?
“Do you know that I kept glancing at Jaejoong during special training?”
“You know… I was watching it the whole time.”
“Hehe, I’m both embarrassed and happy to hear you say that. Actually, there is a reason for that.”
He moved his red lips in a cautious manner, as if sharing something very secret.
“The attack must contain exactly the same amount of love magic and peace magic. I have that feeling. In other words, my mind is unbalanced right now.”
Baek Ah-hee is confident that he can overcome his fear.
Because people change.
“Love and peace in my heart. Which of the two had more and thus failed? Do you think Jaejoong knows?”
The biggest proof of that is this heart.
The love I had for him also changed.
The sense of justice I always thought of was colored by that.
