Chapter 75 – Episode 75. Don’t Touch Mayuri, You Bastards (1)
Episode 75 Don’t touch Mayuri, you bastards (1)
Song Bo-yoon took a seat in the corner, adjusting the shoulder straps of her extremely uncomfortable pink dress.
She sipped champagne and watched the anti-Smile Face fundraiser hosted by her stepmother, Jo Mi-hyun.
The five-star hotel, equipped with top-class facilities and services, five restaurants, and a large banquet hall, was being filled by countless people.
Song Bo-yun felt sick to her stomach.
80% of these will be recoveries.
Having memories of losing her mother to a robber when she was young (though her father kept it a secret), she figured it out through her own reasoning.
And she was quietly angry.
For more than 10 years, she has been thinking that one day, if she took over her father’s business, or if she joined B.H., The current pro-recovery policy would be overhauled.
However, my father married someone who had recovered.
That’s Jo Mi-hyeon.
A witch who is almost 40 years old, but strangely does not age at all, looking like she is in her 20s.
She strolled around in her elegant black evening dress, which showed off her shapely neckline and collarbone, and topped off with statement large earrings.
Song Bo-yoon felt frustrated.
She doesn’t want to stay among these disgusting people, because her intentions have been revealed.
‘Bo-yoon, I can see very clearly what you are thinking. Bo-yun, who hated me so much, suddenly became agitated and said, “She won’t hand over the company.”
After Song Bo-yoon was almost kicked out of B.H., She lived her life observing Jo Mi-hyeon’s opinions in her own way.
She was so frustrated by the lack of any contact from Smile Face and Choi Song-hee that she even wondered if her interest would return if she took over the PR group herself.
So, although it was a bit of a delusion, she thought about killing Jo Mi-hyeon.
Literally it is just a delusion.
It’s her stepmother, and even though she’s coercive, does it make sense for her to kill someone who hasn’t committed any crime?
So she decided to just do what she liked.
Just as she roasted and boiled B.H’s Kang Ga-hyeon and several others, she believed that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to receive Jo Mi-hyeon’s affection, and she would be able to succeed him in the future.
She was mistaken in thinking that.
Jo Mi-hyeon mockingly told her that he would reign as the king of the PR group for 1,000,000 years.
A thousand years, ten thousand years.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang didn’t live like that either.
No matter how cutting-edge anti-aging technology is, Jo Mi-hyun’s youth will fade someday.
The stepmother quickly took over the PR group after Jo Baek-chan’s death, and it appears that she had designated her successor in advance in case of Jo Baek-chan’s untimely death.
Song Bo-yoon also wanted such a contract.
Since I am going on a date with Seo Jeong-seop of GY Group, I am asking him to write a will like that.
‘Is PR the same as your father’s group?’
Jo Mi-hyeon spoke insultingly to that.
Song Bo-yoon’s father was also a person called a chaebol, but of course he was not ranked number one in the business world.
‘She was originally just a bitch who married into a wealthy family. This is why people change when their circumstances change.’
Song Bo-yoon felt disgusted.
There is nothing but trash here.
Song Bo-yoon recalled a few months ago when she broke a promise with Seo Jeong-seop and went to a Smile Face fan meeting on her own.
Since then, she has worked as a community manager at Speh’s lab and has been involved in enhancing his reputation by appearing in his videos.
People became aware of her existence.
This made her butt even more uncomfortable.
Smile Face is a villain who declares that the recoverers are the enemies of humanity, but here, all the recoveries are.
The anti-Smile Face fundraiser was also a coalition of recovered people, and the core of it was a PR group.
Jo Mi-hyeon, who is a recovered person herself, said she would hire mainly recovered employees and reduced the salaries of civilians who were doing well or fired them altogether.
It was a bold move by the new chairman.
At the same time, she attracted a majority of the public by condemning Smiling Face in her public appearances.
Even though there are many civilians who have antipathy toward the recovered, there are only a few who openly show hostility.
Song Bo-yoon also has a political sense that sticks out her tongue.
Plus, she has shameless acting skills.
Jo Mi-hyeon pretended to be a good father and daughter with Jo Baek-chan, and she also pretended to be a lovebird couple with Song Bo-yoon’s father.
Afterwards, stock prices temporarily fell and there was a backlash from shareholders, but the media was strangely controlled.
It must have been the power of the lobby.
Moreover, according to what I recently heard from Jeon Seong-wook, the PR group is also having a great influence on B.H.
The scope is such that Song Bo-yoon cannot even guess.
Not only did the recoveries pass by and ask subtly sarcastically, ‘Mr. Song Bo-yoon?’, But also the arrogant attitude of Seo Jeong-seop, who was about to get engaged, made me feel sick.
He said he would ‘forgive her’.
She is a light-hearted woman who was taken in by a villain like Smile Face, but she is merciful.
She knew what would happen if she married him.
In the end, Song Bo-yoon pretended not to notice and fell to the end of the banquet hall, and while she was not at all comfortable and happy from beginning to end, Jo Mi-hyeon came from far away.
As the main character of her group, she was walking around everywhere, exchanging greetings with people from all walks of life and, of course, people who were in recovery, enjoying her own influence.
“Boyun? Say hello. “Do you know who it is?”
Jo Mi-hyeon grabbed Song Bo-yoon’s exposed shoulder.
Both of them were wearing off-the-shoulder dresses, and Song Bo-yoon’s was chosen by Jo Mi-hyun.
While she herself has an elegant and feminine style, Song Bo-yoon dresses like a teenage girl’s princess.
This too was humiliating for her.
Jo Mi-hyeon introduced the person next to her.
“…Doctor?”
Song Bo-yoon was astonished.
Dr. Ga-Hyeon Kang, who disappeared while working from home after being disciplined from B.H., Was here, and you didn’t know about it?
But it was worth it.
Even though she was wearing a pretty dress, Kang Ga-hyeon could hardly make eye contact with Song Bo-yoon, and her lips were sometimes trembling like she was afraid.
She was always wearing only a white gown and glasses in B.H. It may be that I didn’t recognize her because she was wearing quite fancy makeup and her hair was tied up.
What can I say, the human itself seemed to be intimidated.
“Don’t ask for details. Boyun.”
Jo Mi-hyeon said quietly.
“We are protecting you. “Doctor.”
“…”
“And Boyun has something for you to do.”
Jo Mi-hyeon, as someone with outstanding political power, hugged Song Bo-yoon and Dr. Kang Ga-hyeon by their shoulders as if he was planning something great, and then led them further into a corner.
“… So, I’m going to lure Mayuri. Maybe a smiley face will appear. Will you help me?”
Jo Mi-hyeon showed a smile that only touched the corners of her mouth.
Kang Ga-hyun nodded timidly, avoiding eye contact at the smile that forced an answer.
Song Bo-yoon felt repulsed, but the thought of being able to see it with a smiley face appealed to him.
The additional conditions there were great.
“If you do this well, my expectations for Boyun will rise a little. “Trust… Maybe we can have a normal mother-daughter relationship, even if it’s not extreme, right?”
Jo Mi-hyeon smiled.
“I may be taking classes as a successor. Of course, there are no plans to hand over the group itself, but PR Foods may be able to prepare for the succession process. “You know what I mean, right?”
Song Bo-yun nodded her head.
Of course she did not intend to become a simple entrepreneur, but she needed to do this so she could gradually gain her strength.
It’s impossible to fight head-on with that monster-like woman right now.
Song Bo-yoon had her role carefully engraved in her head, and I don’t know if it was because of that or because of her mood, but after her recovery, she had no one to challenge her.
The recoveries took turns going to the podium to complain about the viciousness of Smile Face and to argue that their political power should be expanded.
***
She contacted Mayuri often after that.
I thought that no matter how much I hated her, if I saw her often, I would develop feelings of hatred toward her, but it seemed like she had not yet developed a sense of trust after letting Jang Hye-ri go.
I observed Mayuri’s daily life as closely as possible using Choi Song-hee’s specialty, an ultra-small drone.
It might be true for any magical girl who has lost her powers, but Mayuri had a keen intuition, so she had to be quite careful.
“Who is that boy?”
Choi Song-hee, who had been watching me record and replay scenes of Mayuri’s house, on her way to and from school, even running during gym class, and her part-time job at the tea shop all day long like a crazy stalker, suddenly asked.
“Oh, that guy.”
A man intervened in Mayuri’s daily life.
“Han Minhyun.”
“Who is that?”
“A hero.”
She spoke so calmly that Choi Song-hee didn’t understand, so she tilted her head and belatedly added a question.
“Hero…?”
“Yes, do you remember how Boyun and Songhee arbitrarily assumed that I was a hero? Of course I said no. That’s the reason. “The real hero is not me, but me, Minhyun Han.”
“… How do you do that?”
“Let’s just call it ability.”
I said with a bitter smile.
Since there were things I had done so far, Choi Song-hee did not bother to ask additional questions.
Instead, I watched the screen thoughtfully and seriously as Han Min-hyeon flirted with Mayuri.
“Aren’t you jealous?”
“What is jealousy? “What does a magical girl have to do with me?”
“Isn’t she the one who had sex with Jang Hye-ri all day long? “Isn’t that the whole reason she’s been trying to get the attention of magical girls?”
“Songhee, what are you looking at people for?”
It may seem that way.
But no.
Choi Song-hee is like that because she doesn’t believe that I really want to be killed by a magical girl.
Why do people with depression think that making a fuss about committing suicide is like getting attention?
I’m serious.
“Even if that’s not the case, why do you like magical girls so much?”
“That’s not really the right answer either, but it doesn’t matter. Minhyun Han. Just by looking at it, Mayuri doesn’t like it.”
“…But you still don’t know what happens between men and women.”
I smiled silently.
Minhyun Han said, “Brainwashing! She is the hero of “Magical Girl.”
Clichés that appear from classics such as Sale x Moon or Wex Peach to recent magical girl works.
A scene where a male hero helps a magical girl.
Although they are inextricably linked, this game is a game.
Han Min-hyeon’s character is not a handsome man like the girls’ idol, but a person who does stupid things to give proper NTL enjoyment.
So I didn’t really care.
Mayuri’s mind is pictured.
As the last magical girl, she would have contacted Minhyun Han to gain her own reinforcements.
However, his superpower is a prophecy ability that is not necessary in battle, and it will be even more unpleasant because he is a bastard who thinks lewd thoughts while looking at magical girls.
The two people’s personalities did not match in the first place.
If it were Joo Yena, she would be able to adapt well to his grumpy temperament, but she must be out of her mind right now.
I occasionally felt and thought about the Magical Solena’s star symbol near my chest shining brightly.
From Jang Hye-ri’s experience, we can guess their emotions and state when the pattern shines or becomes hot.
[Then, can we date?]
Minhyun Han said in the video.
[Because if I am a hero and you are a magical girl-]
On the other hand, do you think it is a pleasant joke?
Mayuri’s expression is rotting by the minute.
I shook my head.
Then, as if giving Mayuri a ray of hope for her salvation, a call came to her phone.
I turned up the volume.
[… Doctor?]
Mayuri’s pupils shook violently.
