Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 291
291 – The coming darkness
‘I’m already feeling bad about my dream today…!!’
Jo Ayun was dizzy and held her head. It was a scene that further ignited my sensibility, which had become sensitive due to lack of sleep.
There is no particular reason why I had trouble sleeping. Among the many cases of having trouble sleeping, this was probably the most common.
nightmare.
Han Jae-joong’s decapitated body was visible in the blood-reddened field of vision.
As I bent down to touch the corpse, I woke up from my dream.
It was an unpleasant dream. My whole body becomes wet with cold sweat and I hyperventilate.
Yun Seol-hwa, who woke up to the commotion, did not show any irritation and asked if she was okay, worrying. She came to nurse, but in turn was comforted by the patient….
It was a dream that brought about feelings of shame, frustration, and anxiety. An ugly dream that seemed more real than reality.
‘It’s strangely vivid, so it’s even more annoying….’
It’s absolutely hideous. Even if I dream it, it’s a dream where someone dies. Has the anxiety that has grown due to the recent fight against powerful enemies affected my subconscious?
Clearly, Jo Ayun has become anxious recently.
It’s not that I don’t trust Han Jaejoong.
He definitely got stronger this time. He would not have been able to defeat even the monster in Argo, who was stronger than any previous enemy, if he had not had the ability to regenerate.
After awakening to the power of the universe, the difference between her and other magical girls grew significantly. The gap, which was already large, has widened to the point where it is difficult to narrow. The two supernovas can barely compete with him. Others can’t even reach it.
Jo Ayun was no exception. Even though it is said to be the power of the galaxy, it is only the magic that has become stronger, not the physical strength itself.
Would I be able to follow him in this condition? Is it okay to be called a colleague? A colleague who is of no help cannot be called a colleague. He himself would be no exception.
This was the cause of Jo Ayun’s anxiety.
Is it okay for me to be next to him?
Will I be able to continue to be by your side, not just in everyday life, but even during a fight?
Being Han Jae-joong’s colleague was one of the factors that increased Jo Ayun’s self-esteem. He was also one of the elements that connected him and her. If she is not his colleague, she will remain just one of his common younger siblings.
Jo Ayun recalled her dream again. As he was staring blankly at the decapitated corpse, he remembered that sensation.
If there was an enemy that could kill even him, what would he be able to do then?
In what form can help be given to him?
I thought about that.
…but.
That’s that and this is this.
To be honest, the reason I visited Han Jaejoong early in the morning was because I was anxious because of a nightmare.
I wanted to lie in his arms and complain. I wanted confirmation from his mouth that the nightmare would not come true. I wanted to shake off the anxiety of the nightmare.
Anyway, I managed to shake it off.
Because anxiety was covered with anger.
‘Let’s calm down.’
Before cutting off Han Jae-joong’s head with a butterfly, Jo Ayun took a few deep breaths to calm her mind.
‘There’s no justification.’
Jo Ayun has denied her love for Han Jaejoong. She felt hot when she saw Han Jaejoong hanging out with another woman, but she had no right to be angry about it.
Jealousy is, after all, another expression of liking.
However, her mascot and belt, the parrot, did not think so and offered a remonstrance to its hesitant owner.
[Why is there no justification? They say they are like siblings.]
‘ah.’
Jo Ayun was convinced by that point.
[But Guardian, trying to attach reasons to your feelings and actions is a bad habit. Humans are not creatures that live only through reason…]
The parrot remonstrated with her enlightened master again, but she was already lost in her thoughts and had no time to listen to anyone else.
Ignoring the loyalist’s words, she quietly put her thoughts together.
‘Now that I think about it, I saw my brother abandoning his girlfriend and hanging out with another woman…’
Even if you think about it generally, it’s a situation worth getting angry about. Even from a pro-sibling perspective, it is not awkward at all.
It’s natural to be angry at my brother’s patheticness and garbage.
This isn’t jealousy, it’s simple fighting spirit.
So it’s okay to break your head.
“I have a cause.”
bang!
Jo Ayun’s small and cute hand patted Han Jaejoong’s head mercilessly.
**
“Ayun-ah.”
“Why, what?”
Feeling burdened by Han Jae-joong’s gaze, Jo Ayun avoided her eyes. A large piece of gauze was secured to his forehead with a medical band.
“Anyway, isn’t this too harsh?”
“….”
“You came to provide nursing care, but you almost ended up receiving nursing care.”
From noble mtl dot net
With his sharp and bad-looking appearance, combined with the scar on his forehead, there was no other gangster who had come from a gang fight somewhere.
In addition, since Jo Ayun herself was armed with strong makeup and piercings, no one came near them and at the same time, their gazes were filled with fear.
“It’s your fault.”
“Is this my fault?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? “You left her sister and slept with another woman.”
“It’s my fault, right?”
Han Jaejoong readily admitted.
“But why would you leave a sick child alone? Besides, I didn’t do anything particularly bad.”
“Sometimes I envy my brother’s nerves in letting the b*tch he confessed to sleep in the same bed on the same day.”
“What were you jealous of? “Do you want to sleep together in my arms later, our cute Ayun?”
“…no.”
To be honest, I thought it was a little okay, but Jo Ayun endured it with superhuman patience.
You must make up your mind. You must not be fooled by the words of this sly man.
‘Now that I think about it, it seems like this guy’s personality has changed somehow…’
At some point, I felt like I had become a little more sly and shameless. I don’t know exactly when it started like that. But before I knew it, my personality had changed slightly.
In Jo Ayun’s eyes, he looked like a snake. A snake that tempts you, crawls up your leg, and strangles you. He said he had to stop the snake in order to destroy the world, but it turns out that the snake was him.
‘I never pass up.’
Of course, like Yun Seol-hwa, Baek A-hee, and Mitsuki, your eyes are drawn to their love. You won’t lose your sense of distance every day.
There will always be appropriate distance, appropriate emotions, and appropriate relationships.
Yes, with the hearts of real siblings. I will treat him like a relationship where we are instinctively programmed to hate each other.
“…pup.”
“I get embarrassed when you suddenly swear, Ayun.”
Don’t be mistaken. You must not deviate from where you are supposed to be.
‘Because I’m your brother’s colleague.’
Hoping for more is greed. Jo Ah-yoon captured his heart. He lifted his hand and pressed it firmly to Han Jaejoong’s wound.
Han Jaejoong frowned and felt pain. Jo Ayun found that embarrassed face adorable and laughed.
“I won’t tell Seolhwa. “Don’t get caught and get scolded later.”
“Thank you so much, Ayun… but it’s a useless consideration. “I’ll tell you everything later anyway.”
“it’s crazy?”
Why do you insist on killing yourself? Jo Ayun couldn’t understand.
“There are no secrets between lovers. And, the universe must be able to embrace everything.”
The answer that came back was no longer understandable.
“Is that damn universe bragging that it has become stronger?”
“Did it sound like that? Well, then it’s okay to interpret it that way.”
Han Jaejoong smiled and removed the gauze from his forehead. There was no wound where the white cloth disappeared.
“what. You were in pain earlier. “Are you scolding me?”
“Actually, it hurt until just now. But now that I’m going to see Seolhwa, I’ve fixed it.”
The forehead was clean without a single scar. It felt like a lie that there was a wound in the first place.
microcosm.
Its power, which transcended even stars and galaxies, was almost omnipotent. It heals wounds quickly. The power for all things, not the individual, lies with the individual.
It was clear that he would probably be the one to cure Yun Seol-hwa’s poison. In fact, he was meditating and controlling his inner universe until the night fell and he was about to return to his lodgings.
In that universe, there is the truth of all things, the laws of heaven and earth, and the miracle of life. I don’t know how much time it will take, but one day you will definitely be able to create the miracle you want.
In fact, he overcame crises by creating miracles several times.
As time passed, he became more distant. Just looking at the current point, she alone is more effective than an army of magical girls. In the end, it was clear that he would become an omnipotent being that no star in the world could surpass.
Jo Ayun accepted her brother’s growth with pride and bitterness.
As Han Jaejoong becomes a greater person, the need for companions will decrease.
‘No wait… it’s not just decreasing…’
Isn’t it completely unnecessary?
If you can do everything by yourself, there is no need to have colleagues.
“Ayoon?”
I came to my senses after hearing Han Jaejoong’s comment. Before we knew it, we had reached the hospital room where Yun Seol-hwa was staying. He was sitting on her bed, looking at himself with her warm gaze.
When I wondered why, I saw that Jo Ayun was holding Han Jaejoong’s hand tightly without realizing it. He inadvertently relied on him out of fear that he might no longer be needed.
He squeezed his hand so hard that only the area where his fingers touched turned white.
“Oh, no, this is….”
Jo Ayun blushed and made an excuse. Last night, I denied it several times that I didn’t love him, but we were holding hands like lovers.
‘Ayun is cute. He’s like a kid who got lost at an amusement park and then found his dad. If I have a child in the future, I will definitely raise it like Ayun…’
In fact, Yun Seol-hwa was looking at her like a daughter, not a lover, but Jo Ayun never dreamed of it. It was an idea that came to her because she often imagined that if she and Han Jaejoong were together, she would be seen as a couple.
“Oh, not anyway.”
Jo Ayun quickly released her hold on him. A sense of guilt washed over me. The thought of almost stealing his sister’s man made him anxious.
[No, we can only get so far by holding hands.]
How far do you go? The parrot scolded her for being more self-conscious than expected, but it didn’t reach the current Jo Ayun.
I made up my mind once again. He doesn’t like Han Jaejoong. That is betrayal and immorality.
How can you like your own brother, who is someone else’s lover?
She is different from uncivilized and vulgar women. She is different from that idiot who proudly confesses in front of her lover.
Calming down her thoughts, Jo Ayun picked up the butterfly.
“Okay, then I’ll just leave.”
A butterfly fluttered and flew, and Jo Ayun disappeared from them.
**
Without even thinking about where the butterfly would lead, I moved my body as if running away. The place we arrived at was somewhere close to the vast sky. A high place where you can catch clouds just by stretching out your hand.
“Surprise.”
I heard a voice behind me and turned around, there was Orange Altair.
“Cute… no, the hateful Ayun. “Why are you here?”
The place I ran away to was the rooftop of the Magical Girl Headquarters in Korea.
“Ah… well, just to kill time.”
“Are you saying you’re interfering with my practice just for that reason? “Quickly turn it off.”
“practice?”
Jo Ayun looked at Orange Altair carefully again. He didn’t have any specific orders to go, but he was in his transformation form, and he had a bow and arrow in his hands.
“yes that’s right. practice. “Do you want to develop new abilities, or do you want to quit quickly?”
Jo Ayun, not paying any attention to that nervous response, sat down on the floor of the rooftop. She was already used to Orange Altair’s irritation.
“Just keep doing what you’re doing, treating me like I don’t exist.”
“If you have nothing to do, at least do some work… Even while we were in Japan, cases of monsters appearing were piling up. Besides, since I haven’t been able to work for over a month, I have to do some research and other things as well…”
Mumbling, muttering. Orange Altair’s complaints continued for quite a long time.
“Now that I think about it, Red Vega’s expression is really bad. What do you know?”
“well….”
Red Vega and Hound. It is the ultimate weapon of a magical girl. Leaving both magical girls abroad, which could easily be called asymmetrical power, was a situation that must be avoided from Korea’s perspective.
Now that the galaxy’s monster crisis has been resolved, there was no reason to keep Baek A-hee in Japan.
This morning, as soon as Jo Ah-yoon woke her up, Baek A-hee had to return home in tears.
-‘Jaejoong, you need to come back quickly…! Got it…?!’
It seems like he was quite disappointed that he couldn’t be with Han Jaejoong. Yoon Seol-hwa is confirmed to be recovering for a while, and Han Jae-joong will not leave her side. Yun Seol-hwa’s treatment was the moment they returned home.
“But he can do more.”
I really hope I haven’t seen your face for months. Jo Ah-yoon cursed Baek A-hee to forget her feelings for Han Jae-joong.
“okay?”
Perhaps because it wasn’t a topic he cared much about, Orange Altair ignored Jo Ayun’s words.
“But Jo Ah-yoon.”
“why.”
“You used your abilities back then, right?”
“That time… Oh, on a boat?”
What comes to mind is the time I spread my wings during the fight with Hercules. With a feeling of grasping at straws, he planned to awaken the allies and defeat the muscle monster.
In fact, it was also a successful decision. Two people, Red Vega and White Davich, awakened, and because of them, victory was created on the battlefield.
“It worked out well. why.”
“But why didn’t I get any benefits?!”
Jo Ayun noticed what Orange Altair was protesting about. I was depressed because I could not grow at all.
But it is something that cannot be helped. What Jo Ah-yoon creates has endless possibilities. It is not a definite success. It is up to the person who has the opportunity to turn the possibility into success.
In the first place, it is a power that is of no use if there is no possibility of creating it in the first place.
“Isn’t it just because you have no prospects? “Divinities are not like dogs or cows.”
“Stop it! “You also gained galactic power, so how can I not gain divinity?!”
“…Difference in rank?”
“aaah!”
Orange Altair fired an arrow as if venting his anger. All of the arrows had different shapes. The arrow quickly went out of sight and flew long beyond the horizon. Although the speed and distance were excellent, the person who fired the arrow was not at all satisfied with it.
“Do you know how hard I am trying to keep up with your monstrous power? Just the constellations are difficult, but the galaxy! Even above that? How much inflation has happened in just one year?! “If the economy were like this, a country would already be ruined.”
“I agree with that statement….”
Jo Ayun laughed bitterly. As I could feel her strength rising from within herself, it was easy to imagine the gap and sense of self-destruction she must feel for not being as good as herself.
“But you can’t even use divinity…! “What is this…”
Orange Altair muttered gloomily, then opened his eyes sharply.
Piyung! She quickly put an arrow on the demonstration and fired it straight away. The movement is so fast that it is on a completely different level than just before. It was clearly a practical move.
“what’s the matter.”
“…Can’t you see?”
“what.”
Jo A-yoon narrowed his eyes and looked at where the arrow flew. There was something vaguely dark cloud-like in the distance, but it wasn’t clearly visible.
“Dark clouds…? “It’s going to rain soon?”
“…No, that’s not a dark cloud.”
The dark clouds gradually came closer.
That dark current was huge. Even from this distance, its entire body could not be seen. The combined constellation Argo is gigantic beyond comparison. So, of course Jo Ayun thought it was a cloud.
I thought it was even more strange to say that something so large was life rather than a natural phenomenon.
“It’s a monster…”
But it was a huge creature.
A creature so large that it can swallow the sky in its mouth.
The monster was literally approaching, eating the sky.
