Episode 53. Obtain the Second Star’s Oath (4)
“Magical Solena, transformation!”
There was no room for further delay.
Joo Yena held her necklace and cried out for her transformation.
Because Smile Face and Jang Hye-ri were attracting attention on stage, no one paid attention to Joo Yena before her transformation, but it was still a risky choice.
Although she had her own disguise, she did so at the risk of revealing her status as a civilian.
Yena Zhou’s body lost strength and spun around on its own, creating a wall of mirrors on her left, right, top and bottom, and light emanating from her necklace.
Light powerful enough to overpower the red and blue lights filled the darkness of the underground space.
“Hawk, Magical Solena!?”
Someone recognized her and called out.
Normally, she, who is on the side of justice, would have been welcomed everywhere, but this is the fan meeting site for the worst, Smile Face, who has surpassed the villains and even Paramas, and has recently emerged as a ‘third force.’
Naturally, they showed the fear characteristic of someone who is committing an illegal act, or rather, they showed their aggressiveness and vigilance and uttered abusive language.
If she were Ju Yena when she wasn’t a magical girl, she would have been scared, but now her heart was a hundred times more courageous.
‘We have to save Hye-ri!’
I don’t know what happened, but Jang Hye-ri is being forced by Smile Face to stab the recovery person’s ‘neck’.
Is it really brainwashing?
There’s no way Jang Hye-ri would do something like that when she’s in the right mind.
Solena took her steps slightly from side to side.
“Hey, Magical Solena is here. Smile Face, and you all, stop moving.”
“Ah, how can this be, Magical Solena!? What happened? Obviously, I asked everyone to keep my secret, but was there a traitor inside?”
Smile Face started talking in an acting tone.
She was so awkward that it was embarrassing, but because of the situation, Solena didn’t raise her mouth at all.
Smile Face glanced at Jang Hye-ri.
Jang Hye-ri’s face crumpled.
She looked like she was holding her black sashimi in her hand, which she held up over her shoulder.
“It’s not me!”
“… There is only you. “Miss Jang Hye-ri.”
“No, really!”
Jang Hye-ri was shaking.
Solena was confused.
If you say no, what on earth is it?
Are you saying that she wasn’t the one who brought Solena herself?
Obviously that’s true.
But is it really necessary to make excuses like that?
Moreover, seeing that she was speaking so loudly that she could be heard clearly even from over 5 meters away, it seemed like Jang Hye-ri was neither particularly nervous nor in a corner.
Considering that people brainwashed by Paramas had blurry eyes and unclear pronunciation, Jang Hye-ri was not brainwashed either.
So, of her own volition?
… That can’t be possible.
“Hye, no, there, student! “Come here!”
“…”
I almost called Jang Hye-ri’s name.
Even though she acted alone without her colleagues, Yena Joo blamed herself for almost doing something stupid again.
“Noisy, why did you show up and make such a fuss?”
“…”
However, Jang Hye-ri’s reaction was unexpected.
She shouted sharply at Solena.
“Wow, what kind of interesting sight is this?”
“I told you I came to see you, not to see magical girls or anything. Smile Face, I respect you. “I want to learn from you.”
This is not it.
Solena felt almost horrified at the corruption of Jang Hye-ri, who had the strongest sense of justice among them.
“Smile Face, you must be a hero!”
Originally, I wanted to call her out separately and explain logically and calmly, but Jang Hye-ri’s behavior was so unexpected that Solena immediately shouted that out.
At those words, the onlookers burst into laughter.
“Hey, magical girl hero?”
“Hwiiik!”
A whistling sound was also heard.
Even though Solena was transformed into a magical girl, her sensitive sensibilities from when she was Juyena broke through and she felt ashamed and embarrassed for a very moment, but she spoke again anyway.
“Come with me. Your mind is running wild because you haven’t found the true path. You hate Paramas too. I don’t think the twisted way they kill the recoveries is simply because they want to get attention. We’ll help you. Hurry-“
“That’s really absurd.”
Smile Face laughed and said, “Haha.”
“Do you think an S-class villain like me would naively fall for something like that? He’s probably trying to trap me by pretending to be a hero. “You think I don’t know?”
“It’s not like that-“
“I really can’t stand it.”
When Solena was trying to convince her Smiling Face to rejoin her, suddenly Jean Heri threw down her sword and said,
“I don’t care if it’s Magical Solena or not, so will you just go? “I have something to do with this person?”
“Miss Hyeri, what on earth are you doing!”
Solena closed her mouth.
She made a mistake again.
Even though we don’t ‘objectively’ know each other, we are meeting Jang Hye-ri for the first time. So, as soon as we see Jang Hye-ri’s name, we shout it out without any hesitation.
She always had someone by her side to cover for her, and she always had a habit of casually talking about what was on her mind, but this made her slip up today as well.
I’m such an idiot.
Wouldn’t it be possible without Hyeri or Yuri?
Solena clenched her fists.
Smile Face is definitely a burden.
However, we already know his ability, and Jang Hye-ri has also shown how to destroy it.
He’s not teleporting.
It is not something that disappears like air.
In short, all you need to do is build a huge barrier around him like Scarlett created a wall of flames.
If other people are disappointed to learn of the powerlessness of Smile Face, that alone is a great achievement.
“Twinkle Star!”
First, to make people around her retreat, Solena fired dense beams of light to her left and right.
Particles of light rose around her and spread out to her left and right as she drew short lines.
Pot, pot, pot!
Although I was careful not to get caught by the general public, they got scared and ran away.
Of course, Smile Face avoided the countless points of light by simply nodding his head and turning his body.
“Please, stop!”
Jang Hye-ri was angry.
In the aftermath of Twinkle Star, the table was broken and the wall was smoking, and Solena was embarrassed again after seeing Jang Hye-ri’s reaction.
Since she doesn’t have a transformation tool right now, she can’t transform into a magical girl, but for now, she’s on this side.
He would be on the side of justice.
So why are you angry at yourself?
“You can’t kill this guy like that!”
Jang Hye-ri shouted.
She was glaring at her Solena the whole time, as if she wanted her to leave right away.
“Kill me? I have no intention of killing you. Purification-“
At this point, Solena also came to her senses.
Worst case scenario, if Jang Hye-ri is truly brainwashed and manipulated, there is no way we can believe what she says.
She kicked off the floor and jumped up.
Kill Smile Face in one fell swoop.
She crossed her arms in the air and attempted to use an attribute barrier magic, similar to what Hye-ri Jang had done.
Grrrr!
It was then.
Jang Hye-ri disappeared from her sight, and Scarlett suddenly appeared with a hot energy.
The dark and bright flame energy rising from her feet enveloped her body, and she became a magical girl.
“Why, kekeut-!”
Before she could even ask why, Solena blocked Jang Hye-ri’s kick heading towards her.
She landed, but was dragged along the floor for a long time.
Hye-ri Jang, no, Magical Scarlet was glaring at Solena with her arms crossed in a fighting stance.
“This is not your place.”
“Scarlett!”
How on earth did they transform?
Hye-ri Jang does not have any transformation tools.
However, there is no time to think more.
Hyeri Jang then rotated her body and kicked her back foot.
“Ugh!”
Scarlett’s powerful kicks landed on Solena’s arms, which were crossed with her
Her arms tingled.
When they were in the middle of their magical girl training, the three of them had often practiced fighting skills with each other, so they knew roughly each other’s skills and special skills.
Mayuri’s martial arts skills were overwhelmingly superior, but Solena, who was good at ‘shedding’ due to her nature, was able to compete well with the other two.
However, the attack is a bit different now.
Just because it’s been a while?
Solena looked over her Scarlett’s shoulder, her smiling face ready for her next attack.
She is watching, shaking like a tinnitus.
After all, is this all his plan?
Solena was confused.
Why is she fighting with fellow magical girl Hyeri Jang, while her villain just watches?
I feel like I have become a piece on a giant chessboard, or a character in a pretty girl fighting simulation game.
The controller and director is, of course, that person.
“Scarlett, stop, why are you doing this? You and I don’t need to fight, shit, there’s no need to fight. “I told you to stop!”
Solena countered her kick, which was coming from underneath her, aiming straight at her side.
She hit Scarlett’s chest with her fist.
“Sigh!”
She thought she got it right, but Scarlett’s reaction was lukewarm for such a thing, and even though she hit with all her might, she wasn’t pushed back much.
Rather, she used it as an opportunity.
“Leave this to me… And you…”
Scarlett’s feet soared into the air.
It hit Solena on the shoulder.
“Ahh!”
Then she jumps lightly and then kicks backwards.
Pow!
Scarlett’s precise kick hit Solena’s solar plexus, sending her flying through the air and falling.
My back felt like it would break.
Tap, tap, tap.
Although it was a tense battle, it probably lasted less than 5 minutes.
That was an overwhelming difference in skill.
Scarlett walked in front of Solena with an expressionless face, her smiling face turned away, her eyes blurred, and looked down on her with her arrogant eyes.
“Smile Face and I have work to do.”
“… Smile Face, what are you saying… Hyeri, what really happened to you? “Such humiliating words-“
“So, please be quiet.”
Scarlett ignored Solena’s words.
However, Solena could not stand it when her colleague, who was in charge of the fire attribute of a magical girl, the very definition of a magical girl, turned around in her magical girl attire and approached Smiling Face, using her honorific title.
She had plans of her own.
“Smile Face-!”
Solena shouted.
Smile Face and Scarlett paid attention to those words.
“I did some research on your identity. You have no past. No family, no brothers. “It’s like I was born only to play the character Smile Face… Don’t you think that’s strange?”
“Noisy-“
Scarlett tried to cover her mouth.
“Isn’t it strange that you don’t have a past? Let me help you. Hyeri and I both felt it, right? Neither Yuri nor we have a past. I just suddenly became Yena and Hyeri and that was it. The doctor called this the phenomenon of possession. That’s it!”
“Shut up.”
Scarlett tried to cover Solena’s mouth.
“You are a hero. Hostility toward Paramas, obsession with magical girls, it all means that they are comrades who will be with us. Ugh, I don’t know what you did to Hyeri, but stop it. We can be colleagues… Ugh, we can be. You are a hero. I also heard it from my predecessor, and there is definitely a connection between you and us. As proof, the memories I saw in Uriel’s mirror-“
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Light emanated from Jang Hye-ri’s eyes.
A ring slowly formed from her shoulder to her wrist, and it covered Jenna’s arms and legs and her mouth.
“Did you come here to say something like that?”
After Scarlett spoke coldly, she turned around.
“Smile Face, give me another chance to be loyal to you. “Should I just stab the recoveries there and kill them?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, she went up to the stage where Smile Face was and took the knife that he had picked up after dropping it earlier.
In front of them, despite all the commotion, the recoveries who were still restrained in their chairs were struggling.
Solena couldn’t believe it.
Really, Scarlett, are you trying to kill them?
The first rule of magical girls.
That means never directing magical power towards humans and never killing them.
The only object of summary judgment is Paramas.
‘You already decided that humans have no sin!’
Does this mean she’s no longer a magical girl?
Despite that, while using the power of a magical girl-
There was a twist here.
Scarlett, taking a breath, was about to plunge a knife into the back of one of the recoveries when suddenly, her eyes widened and she redirected her knife.
She aimed for a smiley face with sashimi.
No matter how fast his unique ability was, it was so fast that he could not react at all.
By transforming into a magical girl, her physical abilities have increased dramatically, and when she concentrates that power into one movement, destructive speed and power are naturally produced.
However, her sashimi was not within reach.
To be precise, she seemed to have touched Smiling Face’s neck, but just before that, ‘the world’ stopped for a moment.
Solena thought so.
Does Smile Face receive ‘protection’ from the world?
It was an unusual phenomenon of time stasis, to the point where such delusions crossed my mind, but looking at Smile Face’s surprised expression, it seemed like it wasn’t the situation he had intended.
“Ah ah ah ah ah.”
What was even more surprising was what happened next.
Even if the fact that time stopped was explained by Smile Face’s potential ability to use slow abilities and all, Scarlett suddenly flew away.
Scarlett, who had not flinched like a rock even when Solena pushed against her chest with all her might, flew through the air like a delicate girl and flew a long way away.
Moreover, the moment her body rose in the air, the magical girl uniform that had wrapped Scarlett’s body shattered and scattered, like pieces of paper being torn apart.
