Chapter 16 – Episode 16. The Man’s New Ability?(3)
Episode 16. The man’s new ability?(3)
Do magical girls have holidays too?
Of course not.
If a person brainwashed by the evil empire Paramas starts going on a rampage, you have to be dispatched to suppress him at any time, so you have to be on your guard at all times.
However, everyday life itself is not impossible.
This is because B.H and his subordinate units are responsible for tracking down the brainwashers and primarily suppressing them.
The appearance of brainwashers is also not frequent.
Still, the reason magical girls don’t have holidays is probably because they think about the evil empire all day.
Among the current generation of magical girls, the one with the most strong sense of justice and proactiveness is Jang Hye-ri.
She went to work at B.H base on Saturday as well.
Although it’s not like you get special allowances just because you show up for work, I still feel more comfortable doing this than lying on the couch or bed on a leisurely day off.
“Hyeri, aren’t you meeting her friends?”
Sometimes, when the base staff members spoke like that, Jang Hye-ri felt like a dagger was stabbed in her heart.
“… Because justice is more important than playing. “I’m going to wait in case something happens.”
“Oh my, that’s cool.”
An employee who speaks without a soul and leaves.
Although her expression was casual, Jang Hye-ri felt embarrassed for some reason and sat on her empty chair, shaking her legs.
“…”
Hye-ri Jang accessed SNS.
The only things I am following are those related to B.H and UNAA and those related to their officials.
Followers are also extremely rare.
Not only are there probably a lot of people who don’t know that she’s doing her best, but in fact, she doesn’t even post photos of herself or her current status on her feed.
In fact, it is an account for eye catching.
She has very few friends.
To be honest, I can say that I’m closest to Joo Yena and Mayuri, but unlike Jang Hye-ri, they are close friends, so they always meet friends or work part-time on holidays.
As a magical girl, working part-time is not uncommon, as her income is distributed on a per-unit basis each time she is called.
Of course, there are many other secondary benefits.
It’s hard to list, but one of the benefits of being a magical girl was that her orphan, Jang Hye-ri, had her own mansion.
It’s a place that’s so wide and so empty that it only makes me feel more lonely, so I avoid it myself.
“… Yena, I went to the water park.”
Jang Hye-ri looked at her main girlfriend, Yena, wearing her bikini swimsuit with her own girlfriends.
Her body was stunning in a yellow swimsuit similar to her own hair, but a little brighter.
Her clean stomach and navel were visible.
As I scroll down, past a few pages of advertisements, I see a photo taken by Mayuri.
Although her face is not shown directly, she appears to be an employee at the coffee shop she works with.
She has a mischievous expression on her face and is pointing at a table with an antique design.
New menu advertisement.
After all, I’m not the type to upload photos of myself.
Employees who like Mayuri must have posted this.
Still, the atmosphere seemed good.
Mayuri herself does not talk much, but because of her honesty, she is popular among both men and women.
Although girls prefer it.
“…”
On the other hand, Hyeri Jang is at the base even on holidays.
Even though she did it herself.
Not all employees know the identity of the magical girl.
Even though it is B.H., Except for Dr. Ga-hyeon Kang and the high-ranking executives who stay in the command and control room, I think Jang Hye-ri and others are just girls playing a certain role.
In other words, no matter how much attention the magical girls receive from the public, they are moderately indifferent here.
“Hyeri, are you here?”
Occasionally, there are people who pass by and say hello, but Jang Hye-ri, who has nothing to do after going to work, looks blankly at her phone and is lost in her thoughts.
With no hobbies and no friends, she thinks her identity as a magical girl is all she has.
There was a time when she was unhappy about being born without parents, but after she was discovered as a magical girl thanks to Kang Ga-hyeon, she considered this to be her destiny.
Destined to become a hero, a hero, a savior.
So, I became a little less unhappy.
Nevertheless, her sometimes unbearable loneliness and her inability to be honest with others enveloped her, but she overcame it with her perception of being a magical girl.
There were times when it was a problem.
An everyday moment when Jang becomes aware of Hye-ri Jang as an ordinary girl, not a magical girl, but a 19-year-old high school student.
For example, for weeks at a time, when the brainwasher didn’t even notice her, she asked herself who she was.
‘Am I worth it?’
When she’s not a magical girl, when she’s not purifying brainwashers with the Bright Crystal, what is she?
I don’t even know if it’s worth existing.
Paramas, an evil empire that threatens the peace of the Earth, actively fought against the military decades ago, but has been changing its strategy at some point.
Now, they operate entirely behind the scenes, to the point where it is questionable whether they actually exist.
‘Who is my enemy?’
She is ‘Magical Scarlet’ as a magical girl who receives everyone’s attention, support, and criticism at the same time, and Jang Hye-ri, who although beautiful, lives quietly with few friends.
Going back and forth between the two was tiring.
Paradoxically, what keeps Jang Hye-ri alive is the fact that she is on the side of justice and that she is a magical girl.
But without enemies, she too becomes blurred.
“…”
In that sense, a recently appeared enemy.
Smile Face.
He was once an enemy and traitor to humanity, but he was a serial killer of people who were purified by magical girls.
He murdered Ahn Byeong-guk and Jo Byeong-chan, the two leaders of the Restoration World, and is expanding his power across the country by creating his own followers.
There is even an ambitious look as if he is trying to make his claim (“Recoverers are also brainwashers and enemies of humanity along with Paramas!”) A value for Korea and all of humanity.
Of course, on the outside, he is an unpleasantly shameless villain with a real smile on his face… But in reality, he doesn’t know.
Jang Hye-ri was curious about his identity.
By confronting him first among the magical girls, she was also the one who discovered one of his abilities, ‘invisibility’.
In addition, it was discovered that they also possess a mysterious technique that allows them to channel the abilities of magical girls.
The problem is that it is not the last.
Not sure.
Although it’s still just speculation.
“…”
Maybe Smile Face has brainwashing powers.
Just as Paramas stimulates the desires and emotions of good Earthlings and turns them into villains, he may also be manipulating the minds of others.
Song Bo-yoon.
A friend, if not a girl, who Jang Hye-ri often met at the academy, was kidnapped.
It wasn’t always a bit suspicious, but that timid-looking kid suddenly appeared on YouTube and revealed his true nature as a passionate fan?
Is it possible for personality to be revealed in this way?
Maybe Smile Face encouraged it.
Or maybe they really did mind manipulation.
If brainwashing is possible, it is not unreasonable to stimulate some of the emotions and turn someone into an active fanatic.
“… Damn you, you bastard. What are you going to do to that kid? “I hope it’s not a dirty thing…”
When he infiltrated the fan club recruitment process, he also found out that Smile Face actually had a background force.
First of all, the existence of a levitation suit powerful enough to traverse a huge ocean is proof of this.
He couldn’t have made it alone.
He even hugged Song Bo-yoon’s waist and ran away, avoiding the pursuit of the helicopter unit that followed him.
Systematic and thorough operation.
Was the riot even planned?
However, in the recovery community, Smile Face has the worst evaluation, being called almost like a devil.
He even differentiated between brainwashers and restorers.
In a situation where there were some civilians mixed in, they were able to cut out only the recovered and brainwashed people among the rioters.
B.H has a database of recoveries, but even if it was used, how can it be recognized in real time?
‘…Are they goggles?’
Hye-ri Jang became suspicious of the functionality of the well-fitting goggles that Smile Face was wearing.
I thought it was because of the sunlight, but what if it was a special goggle that tracks by linking with DB?
“… No, pass by.”
The technology to analyze the face and body shape in real time, turn it into data, and compare and contrast it with the recovery database.
It is difficult to make it easily even at B.H.’S level, which is more than 20 years ahead of Earth’s current technology.
It is even more difficult to achieve a similar level to B.H., Which is maintained on a global scale under UNAA.
“What on earth is this, Smile Face?”
Not one person.
There is at least one organization behind it.
Similar in scale to B.H or Paramas?
At least a power comparable to that.
So, is it an alien race?
Only aliens like Paramas or magical girls who are descendants of stars can use superpowers.
If an alien race using superpowers had landed on Earth in large numbers, there was no way UNAA would not have known about it.
‘What if it’s a civilization that transcends that?’
Jang Hye-ri’s back felt creepy.
From what I can see, Smile Face is bleeding after being hit by a Paramas sniper, so it seems like he has a hostile relationship with them, unless he’s on their side.
Does this mean that it is a civilization so great that even they are wary of it?
Among them, where is Smile Face?
Executive level?
Action leader?
It is unlikely that the commander will go to the scene alone.
However, there is no way it is a trivial level.
Awesome combat sense and technical skills, as well as a strange atmosphere that makes you feel more suspicious than you can see.
If Smile Face is nothing more than a combatant or a pawn, the fate of the Earth is already doomed.
To say the least, he had his own will and systematically expressed his plans and ambitions.
Those strangely childish yet persuasive words of Cheongsan Yoosu are not the words of someone following someone else’s orders.
People are agitated.
In a situation where public opinion was already 50% against those who recovered, Smile Face’s act of terrorism was met with both caution and welcome from an anonymous person.
As proof of this, the number of members of the ridiculous fan club called ‘Smile Face’s Space’ is skyrocketing every day.
It has already reached 1 million just three days after opening.
The YouTube channel called Scarlet Fox, where he released his first interview, also quickly surpassed 3 million views.
It was around 2.2 million before, but this is a sharp increase.
“Why are you so offended, ‘Scarlett’ Pax?”
Jang Hye-ri, who was in a bad mood because of Magical Scarlet, grumbled and scrolled down her fan club.
It was very embarrassing.
How you are sucking him.
They’re definitely people who don’t have anything in their heads.
She was at B.H’s air-conditioned base (Jang Hye-ri’s house also had air conditioning that worked well, but unfortunately, she had to pay the electricity bill out of her own pocket. If that’s the case, why don’t you build a bigger house?), Shaking her legs all day, joining Smile Face’s fan club. Wandered around.
“… This bastard, I knew it would be like this.”
And then what I was worried about happened.
[One recovery person found, report.]
Since not all brainwashers have major accidents that are reported in the media, on the other hand, some of the recoveries quietly blend into society.
Start a normal family, have a job.
However, Smile Face declared.
Even their existence cannot be tolerated.
They are abandoned and evil.
This is truly a line that only the villain of villains could say.
Behind that face that only smiles without knowing what’s inside, a terrible and cruel heart is hidden.
And he said it on the air a few days ago.
‘Please report as soon as you find a person who has recovered. ‘Smile Face will come and punish me!’
In fact, countless articles are pouring in.
Society is becoming increasingly divided.
It is questionable whether Smile Face will actually go and kill this countless number of people who have recovered.
But this phenomenon itself is wrong.
This was not the Earth that the magical girl was trying to protect.
“… I have to tell the doctor.”
Hyeri Jang clenched her fists and stood up from her seat.
Maybe this villain will gradually increase his influence on Earth, starting with a fan club.
To exaggerate a bit, if the number of fan clubs continues to grow like this, they might run for president.
Smile Face President!
***
Oh, I feel dizzy.
It’s a long-awaited holiday, and I’ve been taking a break in a wait-and-see mode lately to manage the fan club site, but the conversation in the lab has been unusual.
“So I lost my ability to reproduce.”
“Eh, really? How…”
“You don’t have to be so pitiful. Basically, I was a non-marriage person and had no intention of having offspring. Basically, the world is suffering, right? “If you want to live through such turbulent times, it is better not to be born.”
“But wouldn’t it be worth living for?”
Song Bo-yoon tells a human hymn and a life-affirming story in front of Choi Song-hee, who emphasizes the aesthetics of her own negativity.
How on earth did the topic of fertility come up?
… I tried to tackle it, but I know the general idea.
It started with Song Bo-yoon’s unexpected words.
“Did anything happen between you two?”
“… What do you mean?”
I was eating cereal for breakfast, put down my spoon, and looked at Song Bo-yoon who asked that question.
Choi Song-hee didn’t seem to be interested, and she didn’t even turn her head in front of the usual large multi-monitor.
“How can nothing happen when I’m with someone as handsome and well-spoken as my brother Spe? “Song Hee is also a truly beautiful woman.”
A night spent in Choi Song-hee’s secret laboratory.
How are her parents? Are there any conflicts about returning home? Those are the only thoughts she had all night.
It’s good that you didn’t cry and complain that you changed your mind, but I’m a bit worried in another way.
Songhee, can we control this guy?
“Never, never. Something like that. Mr. Songhee-“
“Do you know, I have a machine body?”
“Hey, I see. I was definitely curious about that. How did you become like that, sister? And even though her limbs are still alive, aren’t her reproductive organs still alive?”
Choi Song-hee speaks indifferently.
And Song Bo-yoon asks even more indifferently.
… Crazy, you ask that directly.
What on earth is this atmosphere?
It was an impolite question that could have been asked coldly right away, but Choi Song-hee maturely got off her chair and settled on her mechanical leg.
If this happens, she will be 175cm tall.
I don’t know how tall she actually was, or exactly how tall she was, but judging by her small head-to-body ratio, she must have been quite tall in real life.
Choi Song-hee looked down at Song Bo-yoon and said.
“The vagina itself is fine. But, the inside is a problem. Because she couldn’t endure the various cruel experiments, she was declared infertile. It was mainly caused by drugs. So, there is no need to doubt my relationship with Mr. Dojin. “Because we are business partners rather than opposite sex.”
“Ah… Is that so? “It’s so sad.”
Contrary to her words, Song Bo-yoon’s expression strangely becomes softer.
Then, as if she had thought, “Oh my gosh,” She was so shocked that she changed the subject and started talking in a kind tone.
“I have planned the direction of channel operation. From now on, what would it be like to go out and promote her older brother’s daily life and her goals rather than being a magical girl?”
The secret laboratory S, which was tense for a very brief moment, quickly changed into a scholarly and passionate atmosphere.
At first glance, they seem like sisters who get along well.
Is this change possible?
I just don’t understand it.
By the way, when I first spoke openly with Choi Song-hee over drinks, she said that her dream was to become someone’s mother.
She is obviously not infertile, so I think she said she was thinking of becoming pregnant someday by receiving only sperm.
… But for some reason, I felt like I shouldn’t say that.
Choi Song-hee must be like that because she also has thoughts.
