Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 271

271 – Storm (10)

“oh.”

I said it wrong. It didn’t take long to realize that. The color drained from Baek Ah-hee’s face.

“W-What is that… no, what is that noise all of a sudden? Affair? “Why does there have to be a woman having an affair…?”

Han Jaejoong asked as if he was genuinely taken aback. It’s not even a scolding. It was a question filled with pure doubt.

I’m not dating anyone yet and I haven’t had an affair yet.

I had no idea how to interpret those words.

“By any chance… do you have a romantic interest in something like an affair…?”

“no!”

Baek A-hee denied it outright.

“yes…?”

After finishing the hard training, I ran straight to my dorm, and my body was covered in sweat and my body was once again covered in sweat. This time she was not hot, but cold and sweaty.

“Then what do you mean by what you just said?”

Han Jaejoong asked again.

“….”

This time I couldn’t answer right away.

From noble mtl dot net

“that! therefore. Um, that’s… um… that’s….”

Baek Ah-hee’s pupils shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

While my body was damp with sweat, my face was hot and red, as if it were on fire.

I was embarrassed.

‘What kind of crazy thing did I say?’

It was natural that no excuse was given right away. Because it was something she was embarrassed to say herself.

‘Romance in an affair? Of course not! Of course love should be one to one! ‘Isn’t that the greatest dream and romance?’

But she knows.

The person you love is already in love with someone else. Even that love is like a golden tower built solidly over several years.

Loving Han Jaejoong is no different from knocking down that monumental tower. You must be prepared to get involved in the emotions and memories of someone else and burn the flowery path they will walk.

In order to love someone you love, you have to hurt their love. You have to dig it up and get it dirty. We must make him a traitor, an immoral person and a traitor.

In order to make him your partner, you have to make him partner with your lover.

‘I have to turn the kind person I loved into trash that others will hate.’

The reason why I loved him, I had to get rid of it in order to love him…

‘I can’t do that.’

Making others unhappy in order to make yourself happy is not something a person, let alone a hero, would do.

I never thought loving someone who was already in love would be this painful and painful.

It’s not my place to argue with Han Jaejoong, but I can’t help but harbor these thoughts.

‘Why wasn’t it me…?’

Why didn’t you meet me first? Why didn’t you love me first? I have the confidence to love you just as much. I can make you happy, but you go on dates with me, cook meals with me, take care of me when I’m sick, and tell me to sleep well at night. In the morning, you can tell me if you slept well. You can be naughty if you want.

I’m not young because I want to be young, so why do I have to keep being treated like a child? I was teased and provoked like that, but still! The age difference wasn’t that big to begin with, maybe it was because they were at the age when they wore school uniforms when they first met, and things got complicated from there.

‘ah. I don’t know.’

How should I make an excuse? Even what to think and what to do next.

It was a good moment when I decided not to let go of both love and peace. At that time, she was confident that she would not be discouraged by any future hardships.

I was happy when I dreamed.

But in order to move forward with my dream, I had to keep looking at reality.

Her love could only be achieved by stealing someone else’s lover.

In other words, it was an affair.

Baek A-hee knows that Han Jae-joong will never give up on Yoon Seol-hwa. He is a man who will do anything to make his lover happy. That was one of the reasons he even liked that in the first place.

I knew it couldn’t be done, but I didn’t want to give up.

The more I thought about it, the more jealous I became of Yun Seol-hwa. I was so jealous of her. She had everything she wanted, both the person and the power, she wanted so much.

‘All justice has been lost.’

I never thought I would end up like this because I went crazy over one guy. If she was last year, she would never have imagined it. In fact, she still feels dumbfounded sometimes.

Is this corruption?

‘It’s sweet… After all, people don’t know unless they experience it…’

“Aheeya?”

“yes yes?!”

I guess I was too lost in thought. When Han Jae-joong called her name, Baek A-hee flinched as if she was startled.

“are you okay? “You have a bad complexion.”

“Oh, yes, yes! it’s okay!”

“Why are you acting so stiff all of a sudden?”

Han Jaejoong chuckled and leaned his head on the sofa.

“I guess you were tired today. “Go in, wash up, and rest.”

“Well, does your sweat smell that much…?”

She was at her peak of sensitivity and took any words with sensitivity. To the extent that saying wash and sleep can be heard as meaning not to come near because it smells like sweat.

“That’s just a cliché. “Don’t take it too sensitively.”

“Boo, I’m anxious… Would you like to take a look?”

“Hey, don’t show off.”

“yes.”

When Baek Ah-hee spread her arms and slowly approached, Han Jae-joong firmly refused. Baek Ah-hee had a sad expression and she stepped back.

“So it seems like it really stinks….”

“It doesn’t smell, so don’t worry.”

“Is that also a cliché?”

“sincerity.”

Baek Ah-hee looked into Han Jae-joong’s eyes. Her eyes were full of fatigue, but there was no contempt in them.

“Since I’m being sincere, can I ask one more question?”

“What is it?”

“Am I still Jaejoong’s rival?”

Can I still be by your side?

“Will Jaejoong continue to be a star in the future?”

Are you still looking after me?

Anxiety soaked her like clothes getting wet in the rain. The weight of the damp clothes was heavier today. Her eyes were trembling just as they had just been.

We know that gaining self-confidence through others is a mindset that lacks independence. I also know that the weakness of being swayed by every word of others is far from the boldness of a hero.

But I had to ask.

Because that was the only thing that connected me to him now.

The answer came back quickly.

“of course.”

After hearing the answer, Baek Ah-hee smiled with satisfaction.

“…Then, I’m glad.”

“Yeah, I mean. Get your mind straight. “If you can’t do well, I won’t be able to do it either.”

“Yes, yes….”

I was happy. I don’t know where the anxiety from before had gone, but now I was just comfortable and happy. The corners of his mouth twitched and went up, as if a tight string had been loosened.

“I know you’re nervous these days. But don’t be too hasty. Everything changes and has an end. “What’s important is how to live within the truth of the beginning and the end.”

“Aren’t the words out of context?”

“Just because my story has become stronger and our relationship has become a little deeper, it doesn’t mean you need to accommodate it.”

I hit the nail on the head. Han Jae-joong’s tired eyes turned to Baek A-hee.

“They say life is a series of choices. Live by choosing well. Your actions, words, and even emotions are all yours. “You can control it.”

The sharp eyes, as usual, somehow looked like a huge sky looking down on everything. His eyes were benevolent and inorganic at the same time.

Just as some people feel peace and others feel impermanence when looking at the blue sky, those eyes contained a mystery that gave different feelings depending on who looked at them.

It was a gaze that felt cold to Baek Ah-hee now.

After being tense for a moment, his face relaxed as usual.

“Haha, aren’t you tired of listening to old school sermons tonight?”

“The age difference isn’t that big….”

“Thank you for saying that.”

“It’s true….”

You’re at an age where it’s not strange to date. The backstory was not hidden.

“Then go now. “It’s late.”

“…yes.”

Baek Ah-hee was sent off by Han Jae-joong without saying anything.

I had asked all the facts I wanted to confirm and everything I wanted to ask, so there was no reason to stay here any longer.

“Well then… I’ll see you again tomorrow.”

“Yeah, see you tomorrow.”

“yes. “Keep watching.”

On and on, tomorrow, the day after, forever.

After declaring that, Baek Ah-hee opened the door and left as if running away.

Suddenly the door opened again.

“My room is a bit far from here, so can I just finish taking a shower here? Oh, no, if you just go to sleep anyway…”

“Don’t show off and go.”

“yes.”

The door closed again.

After a storm-like night.

It was a morning where a real storm was approaching.

**

In response to the call, key figures gathered inside the Japanese Magical Girl Headquarters from early in the morning.

Han Jaejoong was also one of the people gathered there. As he was busy walking down the hallway, he saw a person walking with flowing silver hair.

‘this.’

He was an uncomfortable person.

I thought about staying still until she passed, but perhaps by accident or on purpose, she looked back.

“oh.”

“Ah… hello?”

“Yes, yes… Did you have a peaceful cough?…”

“yes yes?”

Even Jaejoong Han, who speaks Japanese to some degree, could not understand the archaic old language. Mitsuki quickly realized his mistake and changed his words.

“Well… did you have a good morning…?”

“Yeah well… somehow… what about that?”

“I couldn’t sleep a wink thinking about my benefactor.”

This is really burdensome news again. Han Jaejoong laughed bitterly.

“It’s a burden, so don’t worry.”

“Once you go hard, everything else is easy, right?”

“That’s accurate. Oh right, but why do you keep using the honorific? “I know you spoke informally yesterday…”

Mitsuki approached him and pushed his chest with his finger.

“Was it a lie when you said we became friends?”

“therefore….”

“Please speak comfortably again. “I think I’d be really happy about that.”

Even though he was speaking calmly, his face was red. I’m sure she’s overdoing it too. It hurts a bit to ignore someone who puts in such effort.

“Okay, I understand.”

“That’s good.”

Mitsuki smiled and widened the distance. He started walking again and Mitsuki naturally followed next to him.

“Hey… have you thought about yesterday’s question?”

Han Jaejoong’s steps slowed down for a moment.

“Are you asking right away?”

“Because I’m curious.”

You’ve started coming out quite actively. Jaejoong Han was taken aback because he didn’t know if she, who was very shy just yesterday, would throw her fastball like this. Although it was not evident on her face, her heart was beating loudly.

“You mean that?”

“yes.”

“First of all, I don’t understand.”

“What is it?”

“What do you like about me?”

This was the first thought that came to mind after receiving the confession. Originally, I would have asked right after the confession, but…

Unfortunately, I couldn’t ask her because she ran away after confessing yesterday. So she took this opportunity to ask.

“You don’t know me. Even if you know it, it’s only a very fragmentary picture. I’m sure I saved you. But you can’t like me just because of that.”

“I said no… You’re quite adamant, aren’t you?”

No. It was a fairly strong expression of denial.

In fact, Han Jaejoong was adamant. Liking someone without properly understanding them was an act that was rude to both the person receiving the favor and the person giving the favor.

This is because you can unilaterally create a fantasy and only love that image. Illusions are illusions after all, and can be quickly shattered by the appearance of real people in reality.

At that time, you will feel as much disappointment as you expected.

“Are you saying you like me because you know what kind of person I am? I may not be as nice a person as you think. The way I wear a mask and the real me may be quite different. “What did you see in this short meeting that made you think about marriage?”

Mitsuki smiled slightly.

“First of all, if you were a really bad person, you wouldn’t say something like that. A really kind person…”

She walked next to me carefully, and her voice was as soft and gentle as her steps. She was so calm that I couldn’t remember the concept of her smiling like a noble lady.

“Obviously, I don’t know my benefactor. Compared to the people who are close to your benefactor in Korea, you probably know it at a trivial level. But I know quite a lot.”

Mitsuki slowly looked away. Immediately, I was able to make eye contact with Han Jaejoong. Her Han Jaejoong continued to look after her. So that she feels free to speak at any time.

“He saw that I was hot and asked for ice water.”

“that….”

“Also, even though I kept averting my eyes in shame, he steadfastly made eye contact and spoke to me. “When I sit down, I sit down, and when I stand up, I keep making eye contact.”

“….”

Han Jaejoong, wondering what to say, hesitated slightly and then closed his lips. I felt like I shouldn’t stop talking here for no reason.

“Besides, you are so worried about me now. You continued to be considerate of me that day. “It’s still like that now.”

“That’s something anyone can do.”

“Not really. Even the part where you say that could be a reason why I like you.”

Han Jaejoong frowned.

“Definitely the reason I gained favor with my benefactor was when he saved my family that day. But after that, I continued to gain confidence by seeing my benefactor. He’s really kind and sweet. “If it’s you, I don’t mind giving you my future.”

At the same time, Mitsuki smiled.

“Would you please let me receive a little bit of the light that is you?”

Stopping in front of the door, Mitsuki confessed once again.

Han Jaejoong smiled at her. The answer flowed from between his gently smiling lips.

“no.”

It was a firm refusal.

“I have already promised to marry someone. “Find someone else.”

“….”

At the same time as those words were said, we arrived at the meeting place.

Han Jaejoong approached the door. chin. At that moment, he was grabbed by the wrist by Mitsuki and dragged backwards. There was hesitation in his steps as he tried to go inside.

“Well, then all I have to do is become someone who can be loved more than him?”

“yes?”

“I will do my best in this fight. Please look forward to it. “I will prove who is better as a partner.”

“No, how can that be said…”

Han Jaejoong noticed that her hand holding his wrist was shaking. It was overdoing it.

“I will definitely… prove it…”

Even though I was filled with shame, anger, and sadness at being rejected, I forced myself to suppress those feelings and squeeze out a new resolution.

“Okay?!”

After all, she too was a magical girl.

One of the people who has the courage to stand in front of a monster with his bare body.

At the same time, a person who dreams arrogant dreams that are difficult to achieve with a human body.

It wasn’t awkward to have this level of courage and greed.

He had dreams and the power to put them into practice, strong enough to suppress his weak-hearted nature.

“…My opinion will not change.”

“My dream will not change either.”

Han Jaejoong laughed and walked back inside the door. Mitsuki stood next to him and entered the door together.

The people who were already there looked at them. The atmosphere became a bit noisy.

‘That’s right, there were dating rumors.’

Since the people involved in the dating rumor yesterday came together, such a reaction would be natural. I was complacent. Han Jaejoong was disappointed in himself.

“Jaejoong. “Come here.”

Immediately after entering, Han Jaejoong walked away from Mitsuki, as if someone was grabbing him by the arm and dragging him. It was Seolhwa Yoon. She crossed her arms blatantly for others to see, signaling her closeness to him. I felt a tingling sensation in my arms, which were pressed against her large breasts.

“Jaejoong, I’m very jealous.”

“That’s a really cute part.”

“I know that there are many people who are attracted to your charm. Heroes brighten colors, so some things can be taken into account. but….”

Yun Seol-hwa’s cold gaze was directed at Mitsuki.

“You can’t just pick up anything and eat it. “I’m having trouble.”

It was a disdainful look, as if looking at seafood infested with parasites.

“Seolhwa, please speak up.”

“Listen to whatever you want. “I guess you won’t be able to understand it because it’s in Korean anyway?”

The country is different and the culture is different. It’s ridiculous to be close to a subject that you can’t even write in the language of the person you like. It was a vitriol with that kind of meaning.

“Even pet dogs understand what I’m saying, but that one is worse than that.”

“Seolhwa, has there been a lot of comparison to dogs these days?”

“Do you know what my stage name is? Jaejoong, I’m starting to understand now. “Hurry up like a dog…”

“Seolhwa, do you want to turn me into trash?”

Mitsuki trembled as she placed her head on Han Jaejoong’s shoulder and raised the corners of her mouth in a mocking manner. Yun Seol-hwa felt a slight sense of victory at that reaction.

‘How dare you?’

Yun Seol-hwa did not uncross her arms until the end.

[It looks like everyone has gathered.]

At that moment, the monitor in front turned on. On the monitor was a horse with one horn that looked like a doll. The horn color and fur color were slightly different from Korean unicorns.

[As announced, the storm was discovered again.]

The unicorn’s words were conveyed without any relation to language. Everyone, regardless of nationality, could understand his meaning.

“Is this also a hostage exchange?”

“I guess that’s all there is to it.”

Most people thought the purpose of the Argo’s reappearance was to exchange hostages. There was no doubt that he intended to exchange White Davikh for his comrades caught on the ice.

[But… it’s different from before.]

What do you mean different? Jaejoong Han waited for the unicorn’s words.

[A total of three storms were discovered.]

“uh?”

The words he delivered shattered many people’s expectations.

[…It seems like the power has been dispersed.]

If you’re planning on exchanging hostages, you won’t do anything to disperse your forces.

In other words, the goal of this appearance is also…

“Attack and increase in power.”

From noble mtl dot net

The Argo’s goal remained unchanged.

I was planning to take over the hostage and the world itself.

**

“Hahahaha!!”

Jason, standing on the deck, laughed out loud. Amundsen was looking at his back.

“Are you out of your mind, captain? “If we continue to advance like this, we will all turn into blocks of ice again!”

one of the sailors asked.

“Are you afraid?”

“I’m so happy! “Let’s advance right now, captain!”

LOL. Everyone laughed, everyone.

“This is the beginning of conquest!!!”

With those words, dozens of ships moved. Cheers were heard from the people on board the ship.

“Orphans….”

Haru muttered while looking at them.

It was an extremely rational lament that spoke nothing but the truth.

A storm broke out.
