Chapter 394 – Episode 394 – Stolen Dreams and Lost Future
“Ha, ha…”
I was running as hard as I could, but it was causing me intense pain as if my lungs were not allowing it.
But that doesn’t mean I can stop. If my location is discovered, I might be killed right away.
Because the place I am now is such a dangerous place.
“I guess it’s okay at this point…”
The guards who had been following my presence just now passed by the door.
Inside the door I was hiding in, I let out a breath I had been holding for a while and relaxed.
… It’s dangerous after all.
“Come to your senses, Park Hara. Come to your senses.”
I can’t die like this.
This is how I got the chance to make my dream come true.
You can’t run away so easily.
“If you go a little further, the medicine will definitely…”
My name is Park Hara, I am a very ordinary girl.
A girl who studied normally and graduated from school normally.
I had one unfulfillable dream.
‘Magical girl.’
In this world, there is a being called a magical girl.
The embodiment of justice who brightens the world and fights against the evil forces that seek to destroy this world.
However, to become a magical girl, you must have the appropriate qualities.
“I wasn’t there…”
And for me, who dreamed of becoming a magical girl more than anyone else, such talent did not exist at all.
Even if only in my imagination, I picture a powerful senior magical girl who spreads electric currents and defeats enemies.
In reality, that dream did not come true, and I was just getting older normally.
“Even in a country like that… If only we had that medicine.”
Even though I didn’t become a magical girl, my love for magical girls didn’t disappear.
I grew up as a true fanatic who collects and indulges in all information related to magical girls.
Meanwhile, I came across a rumor.
‘A medicine that creates a magical girl.’
In general, the way to become a magical girl is for a magical girl’s talent to develop on her own, and then to become a member of the government.
If someone is suitable to become a magical girl, some kind of ‘medicine’ is used to awaken them as quickly as possible.
Of course, it doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m awakened by it, but it was still a very fascinating story to me.
So, after digging into the rumor, I snuck into this factory that was producing the drug.
My goal was to escape from here with just one bottle of medicine.
After that, she fakes a natural awakening and debuts as a magical girl.
Of course, if you are discovered entering such a confidential facility, there is a high probability that you will be killed on the spot.
If you’re not careful, you might get the stigma of being in the company of monsters and be torn apart by the magical girl’s magic.
But that wouldn’t be a bad life either.
At least, rather than doing nothing and living a boring life.
Wouldn’t it be nice to gamble my whole life like this?
… For me, the concept of a magical girl was something precious.
“Anyway, it’s a pretty strange place for a factory.”
Of course, there is no doubt that it is a factory with strangely jewel-like raw materials and equipment to process them into medicine.
In addition to that, there were many facilities whose reasons were unknown.
In particular, why is it that there are sometimes things like children’s playrooms that resemble orphanages?
‘Is it for employees with children? It’s a bit big for that.’
With that question in mind, I went into the warehouse and tried to get the medicine.
… It looks like the stock here has already been sent elsewhere.
In this case, you would have to wait until the next batch was produced, but if you did that, there was a high chance of getting caught.
“Well, first of all, I have to hide in a place with few people…”
You shouldn’t think in a hurry.
Since my presence hasn’t been discovered yet, I’m hiding as carefully and quietly as possible.
The moment you are sure of safety, you will have to take only one medicine and run away.
“Oh, this is…”
A room with a lot of documents piled up.
I found a place that looked like the room where the person in charge of this place lived.
… However, I guess I didn’t come here often, so there was dust on the desk.
“In other words, the documents here are… Documents related to magical girls?”
A story about a magical girl that I don’t know about.
Even though I knew it was a bad thing, I couldn’t stop my hands from naturally reaching for the documents.
Because I want to know everything about magical girls, without exception.
“Huh…?”
How I felt when I started reading the material with a smile on my face.
The more I read, the more I can’t believe what’s written.
Soon the hand that was holding the documents started shaking, and I dropped them all.
Even though the documents fell on the floor and made a mess.
Without even thinking about putting it away, I look at the subheadings written on other documents next to me.
If what I just read was just a novel, I might just laugh it off.
In a major institution with such strict security, there can be no such thing as a novel in the form of a document.
“Mass-produce magical girls…?”
Those are the S-class magical girls that I respect the most and consider to be beautiful.
That grade is not born from natural effort and talent.
In these factories, they are forcibly awakened and ‘produced’ through appropriate processes.
Actually, I wouldn’t have been that surprised by this.
This may sound a bit harsh, but isn’t it like a military academy that creates strong magical girls?
… Yes, it was a document I read with interest at first because I thought I could think of it that way.
“Master…?”
This is my first time hearing the term master.
And all S-class magical girls produced here undergo extensive brainwashing to obey their masters.
Magical girls, who can be said to be the entire power of humanity, are in fact nothing more than ‘tools’ that are controlled by a few beings called masters.
It’s like the devastation of losing something I loved to someone whose name I don’t know.
I felt anger boiling from deep within my heart.
… Especially when the name of the magical girl I admire the most was on that list.
It was just a moment, but it was to the point where I thought I wanted to die.
The magical girl who saved me when I was young, the older sister who made me dream of becoming a magical girl.
The feeling of betrayal when I saw a picture of a person in power burying his face in the crotch and fawning over him with a happy face.
It was a feeling I really didn’t know how to express.
Pictures of Choi Ae, as well as Cha Ae and many other magical girls I admired, appear in the document.
I feel like my brain is not functioning properly.
I don’t know what was going on.
… This is not the magical girl I know.
“A magical girl changes this world by being a being with all power…?”
Magical girls are the only strategic weapons in this world.
Magical girls themselves lead the world to become beings that are superior to humans and rule over them.
And all of those magical girls are ruled by the ‘Master’.
In this way, the plan is to put this world in the hands of the Master.
It had already spread to this world at a very high level and was becoming a reality.
In particular, the fall in human rights of men who cannot become magical girls is actually very planned, like a ‘character murder plan’.
It was so dangerous that if you told anyone about it, you would worry that you might be part of a strange cult.
“Ha, ha…”
And I was able to find information about the master in a separate document.
I felt dizzy with information that was completely different from what I first expected.
In my poor imagination, the Masters are like evil politicians who want to bring the world under their control.
Researchers who know or can use the concept of magical girls early.
I thought it was something like that.
However, after reading this content, I realize the identity of the sense of discomfort I felt in the photos I saw earlier.
… The master of magical girls is not a male power figure.
They were pretty women that anyone could see, and they looked like they might be magical girl seniors.
However, unlike ordinary women, there is something strange hanging on the lower body.
It’s similar to a male organ but has a different shape, giving it a strange, almost alien-like feel.
I was nauseated and threw the photo.
“Ugh…!”
I don’t remember much after that.
Forgetting her original goal of getting the medicine to become a magical girl.
I somehow returned home without even coming to my senses.
“Ugh, ugh… Ugh…”
I was nauseous for a long time in the bathroom.
I just felt so disgusted by everything in this world that I shed tears.
The magical girl he liked was ultimately a tool of ‘invasion’.
Those who wear that strange thing on their groin are not from this world.
In order to invade this world, monsters were unleashed here.
The existence of a magical girl turns them into a force that defeats them.
They fill the S-class, the strongest among magical girls, with their slaves.
In the end, they take all the power in this world for themselves.
… The horror of that document I saw last time feels like it’s constricting my heart.
“I, I…”
Suddenly, everything I loved felt like it had been denied differently.
I sat down in my seat, feeling weak.
… It was that time.
Kugugoogung!
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, and the house shook.
The bathroom door broke, and something strange started crawling in.
“… Monster?”
Only then did I realize it.
They found out that I had seen that information.
So they probably plan to send monsters to me and silence me by killing me.
… No wonder I didn’t know this until now.
“Ha, haha…”
I’m dying here.
The moment I was about to think that, pitch black darkness fell before my eyes.
The darkness tears apart the monster that was crawling towards me in one fell swoop.
… Magical girl?
Only magical girls can do this.
But I’ve never heard of a magical girl using such pitch-black techniques.
Magical girls are people who are cute and use flashy abilities.
Because they are not the ones who use this dark and gloomy technology.
And as soon as the darkness cleared, and she saw the girl reaching out to me, her heart began to beat loudly.
“Are you okay?”
A girl with pitch-black wings spread, wearing a sexy outfit rather than cute.
If a magical girl is an angel, she looks like a fallen angel.
The sight of that girl reaching out to me with a very worried expression was so beautiful…
I stared at her blankly for a while.
