Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 263
263 – Storm (2)
In a room deep underground, where the fresh morning air cannot reach.
In the ground, where neither the heat of a summer day nor the passion to beat that heat could reach, a girl as pale as bone asked.
“Are you really going now?”
The girl who asked that question in a sad voice had a sad look in her eyes.
“In the end… it was the same. “You abandoned me, you broke your promise…”
“…one day.”
Jaejoong Han, who couldn’t see that, held back a sigh and opened his mouth.
“Could you please stop describing escaping from the basement and moving into an apartment that way?”
“joy.”
“Besides, you’re next door.”
“joy!”
One day he rudely turned his head and ignored Han Jaejoong’s words.
“No, Haru, that doesn’t mean I can keep walking around with you in handcuffs.”
“why! It could be! Black, dark, dark, dark…. I became an abandoned dog…!!!!!”
“I’m going to turn.”
“Once you take a life, you have to take responsibility until the end! “You trash!”
“You are an intelligent life form that can take responsibility for yourself!”
“So you’re saying I can throw it away?!”
“I didn’t throw it away. “I never had it in the first place…”
“You made me call you master!!!”
“That’s just what you called it! “I told you clearly not to do it!”
Han Jaejoong grabbed his throbbing head.
After the moving date was confirmed, this argument was repeated every day.
The fight against contradictions and the aftermath of that great battle had a profound impact on individuals beyond geography and society.
A lot has changed.
The biggest change that happened to Han Jaejoong is definitely his heart.
[Wouldn’t it be okay to praise me more? Because I’m okay with not being with that annoying girl for 24 hours.]
A heart that Spica used magic to restore.
It was not a replacement that circulated blood using only starlight, but a real heart that beat directly and circulated blood.
The heart is an organ in the body that symbolizes life.
Han Jae-joong’s body, which is on the border between life and death, had many limitations, making it difficult to heal his heart, but Spica mockingly ignored even those limitations and brought his heart back to life.
I could clearly feel the throbbing in my chest, which still felt a bit awkward.
[Now not only the left eye but also the heart is mine? how is it? I feel like my heart has been captured.]
With the acquisition of the heart, the resurrection as a living being came to an end.
Therefore, the need to be close to Haru disappeared.
The contract is still valid, but because he is a living being, he does not decay even if he falls too far away.
[And how do you feel? You thought you had Jaejoong’s heart, right? But what can I do, feel sorry for me~ In the end, Jaejoong’s heart became mine. huh? You cocky little guy.]
Belt sneered as he spun around Haru. Haru did not notice the ridicule because he was invisible and invisible to others.
Who is calling someone a kid? Jaejoong Han suppressed the urge to say that and stopped the belt.
“Master is a traitor!!”
Thanks to this, I was able to escape from this basement.
He was recognized as a hero and gained social status, and the need to live with Haru disappeared.
Jaejoong Han decided to move into an empty room in a fairly nice apartment after being introduced by the headquarters.
There was no inconvenience in going in because the advance payment received was quite generous in recognition of the performance of defeating monsters so far.
‘No, did it exist?’
Seolhwa Yoon and Ayun Jo suggested that I come and live in their house. But I refused.
Part of the reason was that I felt uncomfortable living dependent on others, but the biggest reason was that it seemed like my freedom would be limited.
[Well, it would be uncomfortable. [It’s hard to console yourself by living with a woman.]
‘Suchae, please close your eyes.’
Spica giggled and walked around him.
Ignoring her voice, which had become as familiar as his heartbeat, Han Jaejoong looked at Haru.
As a result, I felt sorry for betraying him. So, he asked the unicorn to allow him to move into the house next door and did it for his convenience.
“betrayer! betrayer!!!”
“I told you, Haru… this isn’t betrayal… I’m just increasing the distance between us so that we can become more amicable.”
Distance is needed between people. I need time alone.
That’s why I rejected offers from Seolhwa Yoon and Ayun Jo. Interacting with people is good, but feeling the freedom of being alone is essential.
Han Jae-joong needed it even more now.
microcosm.
Unlike other powers, that power is not transmitted from a gigantic being like a star in the actual universe, but is a power that blooms independently within the human mind.
Since it was his own universe, responsibility and management also rested entirely with him.
For Han Jae-jung, time for meditation was essential.
I had to focus my mind in one place and learn how to control the universe inside my mind.
In that quiet time, I had to take stock of what I had built so far and realize what I should do next.
“You and I both need time alone. Plus, since we’re next door, we can meet anytime.”
“I was always alone! “We’ve done a lot so far, so now we can stay together!”
“Haru….”
One day, I was flailing my arms and legs on the sofa as if I was having a tantrum. It was actually a tantrum.
Compared to its large body, its actions are no different from those of a child.
She came from an orphanage and had no one close to her due to her unique personality.
Living with friendly strangers must have been an unfamiliar and special experience.
“Fuck, then who will clean up my clothes and what I ate! Someone will take care of the food! Who wakes you up when you’re sleeping?!!”
“Haru….”
Han Jae-joong’s expression hardened at the remark that made all his feelings go away.
“Let’s just live with me for a thousand years, a million years, a hundred years!!!”
“You don’t know what Baengnyeonhae means.”
If you’re going to suffer for a hundred years, just live a short life. Han Jaejoong turned his back on her.
“Then I’m leaving.”
“aaah Ikanaide (Please don’t go)!!!!”
Haru jumped up on the sofa and caught Han Jae-joong’s ankle. When Han Jaejoong tried to move forward, she went with him, dragging him like a mace tied to her ankle.
“You have to go anyway! How long are you going to live at headquarters?”
“Don’t abandon me… I’ll do anything…”
“Then you do the laundry and dishes.”
“I’ll do anything except laundry and dishes….”
“then….”
“I’ll do anything except laundry, dishes, cleaning, cooking, and making your bed, so please don’t abandon me….”
“It’s not whatever.”
Every time something like this happens, I feel the desire to hit him hard.
I felt a sense of self-destruction at my past self, who had once made this kind of scum my favorite character.
“Anyway, I’ll do anything, so don’t throw it away..,!”
“I’ve taken care of you enough, now become independent!”
“Master, don’t abandon me… What was I lacking…?”
“It looks like this!”
“Kwaeong… keung… keung….”
Now even bullshit is coming out of my mouth. I didn’t mean bullshit in the sense of bullshit, but I started imitating the sounds made by the animal dog.
At the same time, the basement door opened.
She was a girl who still had a youthful appearance, with distinctive black hair and red eyes. She was wearing short pants that seemed to emphasize her healthy thighs and long sleeves made of thin fabric to contrast with the pants.
“Win… Kkuk… Kkuk… Well, I will be your dog… I will lick your feet and be your punching bag whenever you are bored…”
“wow.”
It was Baek A-hee.
“I’m going to turn around.”
Han Jae-joong felt a headache because the appointment was far from resolving the situation.
“Why are you saying that while looking at me?!”
“Hey, you’re trying to lie down like Haru right now. I wonder if that sound will come out or not.”
“Eh, wasn’t Jaejoong finally trying to enslave the former magical girl? “I was about to join her out of kindness…”
“When did I make such a plan to use the expression ‘finally’?”
“Since I was growing in the womb…?”
“Then, when I was a preschooler, I guess I was too precocious without even realizing it.”
Haru was still holding onto his ankle and making nonsense (dictionary meaning), and Baek A-hee tried to kneel down in the same manner with a throbbing expression. A belt circulated around Han Jaejoong, who felt that the girls were having a hard time handling him, spreading the happy virus.
[Kyahahaha! that’s good! huh! Great! Let’s make them all slaves! Just make them all your mistresses! Embrace it all in your huge heart!]
‘Suchae, I told you to close your mouth.’
It was a virus that made only the person happy.
Should I gather all these crazy b*tches together and throw them into the toilet bowl? As I was seriously thinking about such things, the basement door opened again.
Secret two-tone bob haircut of black and pink, colorful piercings in the ears, and sharp and strong makeup decorating the eyes. Even rocker-style outfits. She was a girl who gave off an aura of delinquency all over her body.
However, even the created bad atmosphere could not hide the cuteness that comes from her short stature and lovely appearance.
“Brother, I have news to deliver… What the fuck are these?”
As soon as Jo Ayun came in, she was startled and swore.
“Kkiing… whinging….”
“Do you want to join us too?”
“uh? Uh… I, I will later….”
“Ayun, later. “Just don’t do it.”
What would become of me if you kneel before me? Han Jaejoong’s body trembled because he was afraid that he would really do it later.
I hoped this news wouldn’t reach Seolhwa’s ears. I’m sure she would really try. Probably completely serious, without any hint of playfulness.
It was clear that he would enjoy both dog play and slave play.
‘Why are all the women around me the same….’
[If everyone around you is crazy, it means you are just as crazy. I don’t know where this b*stard is, but I’m trying to escape as if I’m normal.]
“So what’s going on, Ayun?”
[See how they change their words because it puts them at a disadvantage?]
Spica’s words were ignored.
“huh? Oh, that’s right. There was an order to gather at headquarters. I think Ahee also came down to deliver those instructions…”
“yes?”
Jo Ayun looked at Baek Ah-hee, who was rubbing her cheek against Han Jae-joong’s leg, with mixed feelings, as if she were envious or pitiful.
“why?”
“Ah… Well, you said Orange Altair was away on a business trip somewhere, right?”
In name it was a business trip, but in reality it was Amundsen’s surveillance.
It was a top-secret operation to comply with Amundsen’s suggestion, but to keep an eye on strange monsters who could go anywhere and, if possible, to make them take action that would benefit humanity.
A long-term operation that has now started for almost a month.
“She went missing.”
The attendant disappeared.
**
After hearing the news, Han Jaejoong became worried about Jo Ayun.
“are you okay?”
Orange Altair and Ara were friends with Jo Ayun. It was a relationship that could be called bad friends.
They are friends who criticize each other and disapprove of each other, but at the same time, they have a tendency to hate each other. That was them.
The chemistry was quite good in the original as well. A-ra is obsessed with Jo A-yoon, and Jo A-yoon takes care of A-ra’s obsession even though she finds it annoying. It was the same in reality as well.
“Uh… what?”
“Mr. Altair. “Aren’t you worried?”
“I… why?”
However, Jo Ayun asked without hiding the tone of why I should be worried about her.
“You’re friends.”
“I? “With him?”
Jo Ayun glanced at Han Jaejoong with a momentary look of disgust.
This is the extent to which she looks at her brother who is suffering from love. I could guess how much she hated her.
“I will cry when I hear the news later.”
“Tell me to cry….”
I didn’t even use swear words when refuting. It meant that I didn’t like it without even having time to make up words. Jo Ayun sighed deeply, looking annoyed by everything.
“What will your brother say if he hears that you and Mo-jeong are friends?”
“First, let’s open that friend’s corn?”
“right? I am the same. “The fact that your corn is safe means that I love you that much.”
“I love you too.”
“Oh, thank you. But only use that expression for Seolhwa unnie…”
One of the cute things about her was that the corners of her mouth turned up in embarrassment even though she was refusing.
“What?”
Baek Ah-hee glanced at where Jo Ah-yoon and Han Jae-joong were, who naturally expressed their love for each other.
Normally she would have reacted noisily, but now she reacted statically. The only downside was that she had a lot to worry about.
‘What is that idiot doing…’
Even though I said I didn’t care, I was still worried.
[Now that we are gathered, I will relay the contents again.]
The unicorn opened his mouth as he looked at the people filling the conference room one after another.
[Orange Altair, who was on a long-term operation, has gone missing. She was sending an arrow to her headquarters every day to indicate that she was safe, but three days have passed since the arrow did not arrive.]
A data screen appeared on a huge monitor.
[It is assumed that this is where she last sent her arrow.]
“…ocean?”
[Yes, that’s right. ocean. To be exact, a part of Japan’s territorial waters.]
“What did you do to end up there…”
That place was the sea. A part of the map painted entirely in blue.
[And recently, I received a message from the Japanese headquarters. It appears that the Hydra constellation has been discovered, so we are requesting assistance.]
“…It’s actually a sniper. “There is only one country that Japan has helped so far.”
[that’s right. It’s the same as asking for help from our country’s magical girl.]
It was some kind of diplomatic deal. There was nothing particularly bad. Hydra is now the last galactic beast left in the world.
There were enough doctors to help fight it off.
Especially for Han Jaejoong.
‘Is it one of the monsters of note that could lead to the destruction of the world? It might be worth a visit.’
[Oh, a trip to Japan.]
Spica seemed to be interesting in a different way.
“So are we going to split into two and carry out the operation? One team will search for Orange Altair, and the other team will search for the Hydra constellation…”
[no.]
The unicorn cut off Golden Aldebaran’s question.
[Both are in the same location. We will be dispatched as one team.]
Jo Ayun’s body trembled.
[In the process of searching for the missing person, you may encounter a galactic beast. It must be a process of considerable hardship. I won’t force you. Those who want to participate in this operation, please raise your hands first.]
Jo Ayun and Han Jaejoong raised their hands. Following that, Yun Seol-hwa and Baek A-hee raised their hands, and many other courageous magical girls also raised their hands.
The first person to raise his hand was Haru.
“We’re together again.”
Haru quietly approached Han Jaejoong and whispered.
A chill ran down Han Jaejoong’s spine.
“With the hot sea breeze, let’s build up a lot of memories with me, master…”
This guy is going to Japan to have fun.
And I plan to treat my master like a slave.
Han Jaejoong read the thoughts contained in Haru’s remarks.
His expression is full of excitement, as if he is excited to return to his hometown. If it had a tail, it would have been wagging.
‘Dog baby ….’
Han Jaejoong muttered in his mind, not as a curse but as the dictionary meaning.
