Chapter 48 – Episode 48. Smile Face Ruined Me (5)
Episode 48 Smile Face Ruined Me (5)
She says that she has a strict ‘I’ personality and that she likes to be alone, but in reality, Yena Joo’s weekends are always filled with dates with her friends.
Hyojin Ahn, Yunji Bang, Sarang Kang.
Her three best friends were all famous people and girls with overflowing ‘E’ tendencies.
Compliance in appearance, excellent grades, good behavior, etc… As students and academy students, they had no shortcomings and almost never had an inferiority complex from birth.
Satisfaction and love for yourself.
Thanks to this, they unconsciously acted like flowers in their prime, wanting to spread their beauty and charm everywhere.
Joo Yena hates ruining someone’s mood, hates being left out, and prefers to be with people she enjoys being with.
Naturally, she also went out every time.
Even though she was worried about the current two-person magical girl system in her head, her daily life did not change.
As the MZ generation, isn’t work work and work work work?
It may be strange to say that an academy student has a ‘job’, but they are receiving a lot in return.
Her worries about Jang Hye-ri were worries, and she was happy when she came out, so even Joo Yena quickly forgot about her.
The four girls first met at a cafe.
“Voila.”
“Uh? What?”
Bang Yun-ji first showed off her earrings.
Two circular rings were intertwined, making the golden earrings shine under Bang Yun-ji’s earlobe.
Ahn Hyo-jin, who returned from ordering, and Kang Sarang, who was checking something on her phone, immediately showed interest.
Joo Yena was a little shocked.
This was because it looked exactly like Jang Hye-ri’s earrings and the transformation tool earrings that were confiscated by Kang Ga-hyun.
“I received it from Spe Fan Cafe.”
Bang Yun-ji laughed, hehe.
Joo Yena was relieved at her deserved ending, but she was surprised again because she did not know that her friend was a follower of Spe.
“… Yunji, do you like Spe?”
“Is there anyone you don’t like these days?”
She said as Bang Yunji played with her earrings.
“It’s okay to go around killing people, but it’s not like they’re targeting civilians, so it’s a bit smart, right? Don’t you like that? Do you know the channel called Scarlet Fox? There, the criminal records of the recoveries killed by Spe are uploaded, and every single one of them is a villain.”
“Well, isn’t that a channel run by Spe?”
“Anyway, the facts are the facts. Even though he seems like a psychopath, it feels good to feel like he has taken off the masks of people who are being protected because they are recovered?”
“…”
After a while, Bang Yun-ji winked and said.
“Ah, but you guys, this is a secret? I debuted later, so I shouldn’t be criticized for something like this. “These days, the second scariest thing after politics and religion is revealing one’s beliefs about a smiley face.”
“Of course. But this is really pretty. Should I apply too? “You get it just by signing up?”
Kang Sarang put down her phone and leaned her body towards Bang Yunji, playing with her earlobe.
“…Hey, do you feel strange?”
“Speak loudly and quickly. Will you give it to me if I sign up?”
“I don’t know, I think it’s given as a new member sign-up event. If I go quickly, I can get it, right? But I think an anklet would look better on you than earrings.”
“Anklet?”
“Yes, I also have anklets and a necklace.”
“Really? There are quite a few types. Isn’t this all decided by Spe? “Are you familiar with women’s accessories?”
Kang Sarang took out her phone and accessed her Smile Face fan site, and she looked at the event page.
In no time, the eyes of my friends were drawn to that area.
Even Ahn Hyo-jin, who was the only one less interested in accessories or luxury items, craned her neck as if she was intrigued.
“It’s pretty. “Should I apply too?”
“…”
“Hyojin, I think a necklace would be fine for you.”
“But this? “Isn’t it Yena’s?”
While they were whispering among themselves, Ahn Hyo-jin took turns looking at her event page and the necklace Joo Yena was wearing.
Zhou Yena instinctively covered her necklace.
“Where, look. It’s Yena. “Are you a Spee fan?”
That can’t be possible.
Rather, Smile Face, that sinister man, was selling transformation tools for magical girls.
Somehow, the man knew the real names of the magical girls and also knew about their secrets, such as the Star’s Oath.
Normally, when magical girls transform, their transformation tools are transformed, but their form before transformation is no different from an ordinary accessory, so it would be difficult to tell them apart.
Suddenly, Joo Yena became a fan of Spe.
“… That’s not it…”
“No, did you buy this?”
Joo Yena admitted that the tempo was slow.
“… Ah, actually, I like it too. “Spe.”
Anyway, in a situation like this, if you say you don’t like the smiley face, it won’t explain why you have the accessory and will only raise suspicion.
It was important to avoid drawing too much attention to accessories that have the power to transform into magical girls.
An uneasy feeling, as if I was caught in the big picture of Smile Face in some unknown way.
Zhou Yena, who was drinking the banana juice she ordered, suddenly turned her head and saw a man running.
“…”
The man was pushing passers-by.
Zhou Yena frowned.
As a magical girl who is a warrior of B.H. And a weapon of UNAA, there is no need to get involved in such a minor public order disturbance, but it is an annoying scene.
A while later, coincidentally, a man and a woman were running in the same direction as the man, leaving a gap between them.
It was a sight that she might have passed by normally, but Joo Yena was guided by a strange intuition, and she thought that the man’s face looked strangely familiar.
Unlike the large man who pushed passers-by, this man had a thin appearance and a smiling face.
Her ideal type, to put it bluntly, is not the same, but strangely enough, once you see it, it is a face that is hard to forget.
What confirmed her sense of incongruity was that it was her Jang Hye-ri who was quickly following behind the man.
Yena Joo jumped up.
Her friends looked dumbfounded, but Joo Yena said she was sorry and left her cafe.
Hye-ri Jang has a running race in the middle of the day with a man.
That can’t be possible.
It is obvious that Jang Hye-ri, who only has Paramas, Magical Girl, and recently Smile Face in her head, makes such a lively expression.
“… Who is it?”
Yena Joo When she wasn’t transformed into a magical girl, her motor skills weren’t very good.
She lost her way several times and gave up her breath.
She had the largest breasts among the three magical girls, and she felt her breasts being stretched from the effort of running.
“Ha, haaa…”
Perhaps because the muscles in her entire body are strengthened when she transforms, no matter how hard she moves, she doesn’t feel this pain.
However, she doesn’t know who the other person is, and she can’t transform into a magical girl without B.H’s permission.
Several times along the way, she lost sight of Jang Hye-ri and the man she was chasing, but whether it was her luck or her intuition, Joo Yena eventually found them.
They were confronting each other in the alley.
“Smiley face, right?”
Jang Hye-ri was talking to a man.
“Sigh.”
Zhou Yena covered her mouth and hid her body.
Smile face?
Who is that cute-looking guy?
Smile Face was wearing his unique strange suit and goggles, and since most people saw him from a distance, it was unfamiliar to see him wearing everyday clothes.
It seemed like the feeling was similar.
But I didn’t understand.
Suddenly a smiley face?
Joo Yena suddenly became worried.
Could it be that the thought of being released from B.H. Made Jang Hye-ri even more obsessed with her smiley face, and eventually it gave her paranoia?
She was initially suspicious.
If Kang Ga-hyun is correct that Smile Face has the ability to ‘brainwash’, Mayuri and herself will also be affected.
In Joo Yena’s opinion, Jang Hye-ri’s obsession was a combination of her unique sense of justice and persistence.
Smile Face was a villain who randomly judged those who had been purified by magical girls.
If I give in 100 times and say that I have been brainwashed, will I rush to kill Spe at this chance opportunity?
There are many better moves than that, right?
“You’re not that kind of person…?”
The man played it off.
He seemed a little embarrassed, but looking at his unique, confused face, it seemed like there was a higher possibility that he was Spe than before.
If this is true, it is a huge step.
Yena Joo prepared her transformation tool.
Reporting to B.H is a priority, but it would be better for Jang Hye-ri, who does not have a transformation tool, to catch and report first rather than missing the special.
At that time.
Grrrr!
That couldn’t have been possible, but Hye-ri Jang touched her near her own earlobe, and she burst into flames and transformed.
Joo Yena was astonished.
Hyeri Jang clearly returned the transformation tool.
Transformation is absolutely impossible without tools.
Did they give out a fake tool?
So, Jang Hye-ri just touched her own empty earlobe, and there were no earrings that she ‘stolen’.
“… Why am I like this? Why did I transform even though I didn’t have a transformation tool? “Not when you’re not there.”
Jang Hye-ri questioned the man.
The man denied it again.
Grumbling!
This time, the flames erupted not around Jang Hye-ri’s body, but entirely around her and her man.
Joo Yena was astonished.
Hell of fire.
One of Jang Hye-ri’s special moves, which can cover about 25 meters in all directions with a wall of flame, was activated.
It blocked Joo Yena’s view.
The flames burned as if they were covering the entire alley, so if the man was Smiling Face, there would be no way for him to escape without getting hurt.
“… You found a solution.”
Joo Yena was impressed.
Hye-ri Jang was the first among the magical girls to discover the invisibility ability of her Smile Face, and even after that, she seemed to have been thinking about a strategy to deal with him.
“… Is this going to work?”
As Joo Yena was anxious about what was happening inside her, she contacted B.H and Mayuri at the same time.
If Jang Hye-ri catches her smile face, she will just have to transfer him to B.H. If time passes like this, she will get help from Mayuri and B.H.
However, sooner than expected, the fire demon hell collapsed, and a woman was seen falling.
The man was not visible.
Joo Yena was embarrassed and looked around her, but as expected, there was no man who Jang Hye-ri called Smiling Face.
“Did you run away?”
If he had used his invisibility and slow abilities, he would have fled as soon as the wall of the Fire Demon Hell disappeared.
Joo Yena tried to run to Jang Hye Ri but stopped.
Hyeri Jang has strong pride.
She didn’t even want to mix her words with Zhou Yena.
Fortunately, while she was contemplating, Hye-ri Jang stood up from her seat, and although she stumbled a little, she walked away fine.
***
[Don’t touch the smiley face!]
The next evening, Joo Yena called, thinking that Hyeri Jang would have calmed down by now, and was surprised by her unexpected voice.
[I will catch that person. Yena, you can’t do this. You are not enough. I know that person well.]
Jang Hye-ri calmed down a little, perhaps realizing that she had made a sudden move without realizing it, but she still spoke in a voice so sensitive that it was disappointing to Joo Yena’s ears.
