Chapter 548 – #5-17 Mer VS Rahe, Where Does the Scale of Justice Tilt (2)
Patter-patter…
Rumbling…
“Cold, cold… !”
In the thick, thick dust that filled his respiratory tract, Rahe coughed and woke up.
Above her head, a hole opened all the way to the ground.
Beneath her own body is a pile of crumbling concrete…
The sky is far away.
It looks like several floors fell, not just one floor.
‘This place… Subway…’
Looking around, I see a space that looks like a subway station.
Platform for getting on and off the subway.
As it became a ‘closed area’, it was neglected and everywhere became a mess, with moss growing here and there, but the past still remains.
Rahe was crushed to this point by Mer’s magic, but she was able to survive thanks to strengthening her body with as much magic as possible.
However, blood is flowing down to her eyes as if her forehead was torn, and clear bruises remain here and there on her body…
Shhhhh-
“… !?”
Rahe, who was observing the situation, suddenly heard the sound of something cutting through the air.
In addition, Rahe felt a chill-like sensation and quickly left the scene, kicking the pile of concrete below.
By a narrow margin.
At the exact location where Rahe left, something fell loudly like a meteor.
Kwaaang!!
“Ugh… !”
The piles of concrete were loudly smashed and scattered.
While avoiding flying chunks of concrete or blocking them with a thick wall of ice, Rahe checked for something that had fallen.
“Are you okay, Captain Rahe? You don’t fall down like this. Right?”
Mer fell through a hole in the underpass here like a comet.
She swept away the thick dust with her hands.
Even though she jumped several floors underground from the building where the two were just moments ago, she is still fine, without any injuries.
Mer found Rahe looking warily in the direction beyond the pile of dust she had cleared, and she let out a sigh.
“Hey, I thought she went in pretty well though… It looks pretty fine. Let’s go easily, Captain Rahe. I’ll attack you one more time, so next time just fall right away. Huh? Then, it will be good for me and Captain Rahe will not have to suffer needlessly… “It’s a win-win, right?”
“Captain Mer… “Why?”
La He corrected her posture and asked Mer, who was talking cheerfully.
“Captain Mer, can’t we make a deal somehow?
Please think again. That man… Villain No. 13 is a cunning and smart man despite his appearance. We can’t do anything about the guy now that he’s already been taken away from us. Even if he could, it’s unlikely.
So, Mer, think rationally one more time――”
“Anyway, it’s noisy, Captain Rahe. “Why are you talking so much? It’s not befitting.”
Mer firmly interrupts Rahe’s words.
Rahe has no choice but to swallow her words due to that violent attitude.
“Are you really the Captain Rahe I know? Is it Coco disguised as Rahe, or is she a villain with transformation abilities? Or is it just an illusion that only my eyes can see?”
“The Captain Rahe I know never says that.”
“Rahe is the strongest woman, flawless, sincere, hates evil, and does the impossible for the sake of justice.”
“But what is the weak bitch in front of me right now?”
“What is this bitch who likes being a villain’s dick so much?”
“Huh? Answer me, Rahe!”
On top of a half-collapsed, but still stacked pile of concrete.
As Mer looks down at Rahe, who has retreated from her distance, she speaks firmly.
That voice contains a tingling spirit and a pressure that is difficult to speak of.
“Are heroes that funny?!”
“Since when do heroes start responding to villains in such a withdrawn way!?”
“Since when did this man, the captain, become so clueless?!”
“It’s none other than you! The leader of justice and balance, Rahe! The ice witch who slaughtered the villains! How did it become so corrupt!”
Spirit as a captain. Charisma as a captain.
Those things spread tingly along with the magic contained in that voice.
If it were an ordinary person, just hearing that voice from the front would have made them lose strength, collapse on the spot, and become incontinent… Such powerful power was contained in that voice.
Mer was angry.
Mer was noble and calm, but angry like fire.
Mer is clearly suffering from an excessive amount of ‘greed’ due to the influence of the constellation.
Friends, colleagues, maybe even family… She was willing to sell as much as she wanted for her purpose of moving up.
It can be said that it is clearly a mental illness, but it is forcing such an obsessive feeling on her.
But even so, that feeling… That ‘greed’ is not everything that makes up Mer.
Even though she became a captain through her merits due to her “Greed” Desire to rise higher and higher, she is not satisfied and aims for the top by faithfully accumulating achievements.
However, even though she was like that, she did not view her position as hero captain as just a title.
She did not view heroism as just a job.
She had a clear sense of pride in what she did.
“When a hero confronts a villain… Who protects the people?!”
“If it becomes known that the leader is in cahoots with the villain, what will happen to the other heroes? What do you think will happen to this society that is barely recovering after learning how to deal with the awakened?”
“Captain Rahe, you probably don’t know what consequences your actions will bring… !!”
Buuuuu, the pressure around starts to get stronger.
Magical power begins to gather again under Rahe’s gloved palm, and a special and strange pattern to create mystery is drawn in the form of a magic circle.
The intention is to use even more powerful magic than before.
The trembling of the air around you and the added pressure on your shoulders are just signs of that magic.
Sreung, and.
As if to fight back, Rahe pulled out the sword from his waist.
Her beloved sword, made in the shape of a rapier, is pure white from the sword body to the handle.
From the handle held by Rahe’s hand, pure white cold magic flows through her sword body.
“…”
To Mer’s words, which seemed like she was spitting out blood, La He didn’t even reply.
But she just chews her lips with a pained face.
Until now, she has never lost in any debate or discussion.
She was always correct and always spoke the truth, so I was never at a loss for words.
But this time, she can’t say anything, as if she’s admitting defeat.
Perhaps she decided that Merdoi’s words would be of no use, so she did not say anything more.
Each person’s magic gathers into Mer’s gloved hand and Rahe’s sword.
The two people gathered each other’s magic power to the maximum and looked at the other person’s signs.
“【Fall, Tower of Babel――】”
“【Bloom, flower of ice and snow】!!”
The two kicked the floor while chanting.
With a strong mysterious light, they shot towards each other like a violent storm.
* * *
―What Mer said was absolutely right.
– Mer’s words were correct, and it was clear that she was her justice this time.
Rahe knew that fact, and she acknowledged it.
However.
Even so, Rahe could not back down her claims.
Because Villain No. 13 is a difficult man to deal with… There is also one.
Although it is a cunning method, the resourcefulness of No. 13, who took the entire 7th Division into his own hands, cannot be underestimated.
The colleagues who help him are also small, but each one is an excellent name in their respective field.
The wall to reach him is very thick, and what’s more, if you try to get involved with him, there is a possibility that you will fall into his hands and be reduced to one of his limbs.
Therefore, Rahe thinks the wisest way is to not provoke him as much as possible.
He decided that minimizing possible damage was the optimal method.
Moreover, the man does not cause visible harm, such as by using violence, but just enjoys violating and harassing women… Other than that, he is a villain with a moderate and gentle nature who does not cause much harm.
So even if we just let him do whatever he wants… He thought there would be no major damage.
If only he violated women in the first place… Since he only has one body, there is a limit to the number of women he can date…
…
… No.
To be honest, I know that’s just an excuse.
At first glance, it may seem logically correct, but Rahe knows that this is just an excuse that was somehow concocted.
Her true intentions.
Her heart… It was clear that she just wanted her relationship with that man to continue like this.
I hope the man is safe.
The man, and everything around him, wants it to be like this.
I know that person is trash.
I know that he is a trash person who has violated and defiled many virgins and deserves to die a hundred times.
But it’s such trash… Even though he is trash, I wish he didn’t die.
What is the reason?
Why does she want him not to die?
… I don’t know. Why do you think that way?
Is it simply because I felt affectionate… Maybe so.
Maybe life as it is now isn’t that bad… It may be because you feel it.
Or, it could be because they are concerned about their subordinates’ private affairs becoming known.
There is a saying that it is a rice cake, and you overlap your body with him for quite a long time… As I listened to his story, I may have come to have some kind of special feeling.
Anyway, the exact reason is that not even one’s own mind knows.
However, in any case, Mer’s opinion to kill No. 13 could not be accepted at all.
However, he could not accept letting his friend and colleague, Mer, fall as No. 13 wanted.
‘Mer, only you.’
‘Only you… If you accepted my deal.’
Then, surely, no one will be unhappy… It would be possible to maintain the status quo.
If that’s the case, you certainly won’t have to worry about these useless emotions anymore.
But unfortunately, Mer ended up rejecting her own offer… It’s a pity…
