Chapter 230 – Starting Over (5)
After the commotion was over, the cat came to sit in our house openly.
I didn’t expect my mom to love cats so much, but she decided to keep a strange creature at home that glowed and talked.
I was against it, but my mother had already lost her heart to the cat.
In the end, I had no choice but to give in to her mother’s opinion.
That’s how the case was sorted out.
I spoke while looking at the cat sitting in front of me and gazing directly into my eyes.
“Why the hell are you doing this?”
-As I said before, I was talking about magical girls.
Lee Ji-eun even kindly added comments.
I tried to ignore her and look her cat in the eye to give her full attention.
“Of course, I came to sign a magical girl contract with you.”
“No. Are you telling me to suddenly come and believe in the words of being a magical girl?”
Then, the cat tilts its head.
The cat looked at me as if he didn’t understand.
“Most people want to become popular as magical girls like idols, so why do you hate it so much?”
“It’s because I don’t want to get involved in something like a magical girl.”
What just happened today.
When the monster appeared and was about to attack us, the magical girl Letia appeared and saved Siu and me.
Judging from this, if I become a magical girl, I should do the same job as Letia.
Even if I die, I don’t want to do that.
The desire to simply maintain a romantic relationship with Siwoo right now.
Just by keeping it like this, I could get out of this world.
– It wouldn’t be that easy.
“What are you talking about?”
A word from Lee Ji-eun.
At that one word, I eventually couldn’t stand it and asked her why.
– It’s simple. You don’t know when monsters will appear, but will you wait for a magical girl to save you every time?
“… “
-Look at that. Just today, Letia’s slightly late appearance almost cost her life.
Lee Ji-eun’s undeniable explanations.
Like she said, if Letia showed up a little later, Siu and I might have died.
In my case, it doesn’t matter if I die, but the problem comes next.
If you started over after you died and you weren’t in a relationship with Siwoo, things got more complicated.
So, from the first episode to the latest episode, the otaku episode,
The story of having to go through that pain again until Siwoo confesses.
That’s why I was aiming to survive this round as much as possible.
“Hello?”
Sudden cat call.
I came to my senses at the call and looked at the cat again.
“I’m suddenly talking to myself, isn’t there something strange or something like that?”
“You think it’s less weird than a talking cat?”
“That’s right.”
Cat nodding.
The cat looked at herself and let out a sigh.
“I didn’t want to be like this either. But I have no choice but to avoid being caught by monsters or demon lords.”
“There are some difficulties.”
“Yes. Oh, and you keep calling me talking cat, but my name is Levy.”
“Levy?”
“Yeah, what… My original name is longer, but you should call me Levi.”
A self-introduction that feels uncomfortable.
However, I had no intention of digging deeper, so I introduced myself briefly.
“Lee, Ji – Eun.”
-Now you openly write my name.
Lee Ji-eun grumbles.
However, since I had been possessed by her for a long time, I felt more comfortable with Lee Ji-eun’s name than mine.
“Nice to meet you.”
Levy reached out to me like that.
The cat tried to hold her hand, but something was strange, but once he held her hand, he looked at Levi.
“Why are you trying to make me a magical girl anyway?”
“I’ll say it again, you’re a qualified magical girl and you were chosen because there was a vacancy right now.”
The T/O that Levi talked about earlier.
At that, I tilted my head and asked Levi a question.
“An empty seat?”
“Originally, there are five magical girls. But the magical girl I was managing suddenly disappeared.”
“Suddenly?”
“Don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t my intention, she disconnected her herself.”
Levy desperately appeals that he did not do it with the soles of her little cat’s paws.
I nodded my head at the cat’s insignificant appearance.
“Disconnecting yourself… ?”
“I can’t tell you that because you’re not a magical girl yet. It’s a trade secret.”
“… “
– It’s an odd concept.
I have no choice but to agree with Lee Ji-eun’s words.
It was hard to believe that Lee Ji-eun was wrong when she said that the concept was lame, seeing as she flirted with the word T/O or trade secrets that could be used in the company.
“Anyway, do you have any plans to sign a magical girl contract?”
“I have a question for now.”
“Ask me anything.”
Levy crosses her arms with her little cat’s arms.
I looked at him like that and talked to him to solve my curiosity.
“What’s good about being a magical girl?”
“Hmm… What about being famous? And we can contribute to world peace.”
“No, not like that, but personally.”
“Personally? Hmm… “
Then, Levy looked at me slightly.
Then, Levi continued her words as if she was prepared for something.
“Originally, I was going to keep it a secret until I sealed the demon king, but I haven’t met such a qualified magical girl in a long time, so I’ll tell you something special.”
“What?”
“If you seal the Demon King, I’ll grant you any one wish.”
“Any wish?”
Levy’s suggestion is tempting enough.
As long as she acts as a magical girl and seals the demon king, she can also make a wish to be released to this world.
-I’m serious?
Lee Ji-eun, who speaks in an embarrassing voice.
Seeing that Lee Ji-eun, who had always been sarcastic or sarcastic at me, was so flustered with a calm voice, it seemed that this was a variable she hadn’t thought of either.
“Of course. I can grant you any wish.”
“Isn’t that a lie?”
Levy smiles at my words and takes out something.
What the talking cat pulled out was a large contract.
“If you look at the end here, it is written, right? It’s something I added specifically.”
As Levy said, a provision written precisely at the end of the contract.
It was said that if the demon king was sealed, any one wish would be granted.
“Really?”
“I don’t lie.”
Levy puts his hand on his waist and speaks confidently.
Leaving Levy behind, I slowly started reading her contract.
A contract that contains most of the duties of a magical girl.
There was also a provision not to reveal one’s identity to unexpected beings like magical girls.
“Why is this there?”
“Ah, that means… “
Levy sighed slightly.
However, she soon began to explain without hiding that she might have noticed that I was almost leaning toward becoming a magical girl.
“There may be restrictions on your activities, and your family may suffer damage. And… The biggest reason is that the mysterious girl who disappeared revealed her identity and went through a lot of things.”
“Several days?”
“It is difficult to explain in detail.”
It’s like Levy’s attitude is that he won’t tell me until I sign the contract.
I looked at the talking cat, sighed, and read the contract again.
A simple contract overall.
The content was that I did not have to defeat all the monsters, I was in charge of the monsters in the designated area, and if I knew the location of the demon king later, I would subdue them together.
“In addition, there are night shifts at night, so you don’t have to worry about working overtime.”
Levi speaks as if he is patronizing.
At the cat’s words, I looked at the cat with a bewildered expression.
“Isn’t it bad to go catch monsters at night in the first place?”
“You don’t know. The more monsters you defeat, the more popular you become and the more money you can make.”
“… Money?”
“Among idol goods, if there is a license agreement, you have to take it yourself.”
“… “
In a way, it feels like an idol company.
I stared blankly at Levy when he said he would take care of the money.
* * *
-You really don’t regret it?
“I’m already regretting it, so stop talking.”
Way to school.
I grumbled, chewing the cud over what had happened yesterday.
That would be the case, but in the end, he signed a contract with Levy.
After signing a contract with Levi, I became Magical Girl Marika.
A magical girl name I really don’t like.
That would also be the case, because the name of the magical girl wasn’t decided by me, but by Levy.
5 magical girls.
And five guardian fairies.
I heard that the rule is to name the five guardian fairies who play a supporting role while supporting magical girls.
“What is Marika? Marika… “
I haven’t done any transformation yet.
A tattoo on the back of my hand that only I can see.
I heard that if you focus on this tattoo, you can transform like Letia, the magical girl you met yesterday.
I became a magical girl like this.
The area I was in charge of was a place not far from my house, but it was the area I was in charge of before Marika disappeared, so it was a place where quite a few monsters appeared.
Of course, once Marika disappeared, other magical girls often subdued monsters in the area, but
Since each of them had their own area, they had no choice but to be neglected.
As a result, there were more monsters than in other regions,
From the beginning, I was entrusted with the task of subduing such a dangerous area.
I arrived in front of a local store thinking that I had already taken on the hard work.
There was Siwoo, who arrived before me.
“Did you wait?”
“No, I just came too.”
“I’m glad.”
That’s how Siu and I arrived at school.
I sat down naturally, and while I was preparing for class, Eun-young arrived and sat next to me.
“Good morning. Ji-eun.”
“Hello Eunyoung.”
I say hello naturally with my eyes, but my eyes are looking at her sleeve.
As I looked at Eun-young, who still had scars like yesterday, my thoughts from yesterday were getting closer to certainty.
“Ji-eun?”
“Ah, sorry. I was worried about the wound.”
“Ah…”
Eun-young naturally looks at her wounds.
She smiled brightly and looked at me.
“Thank you for your concern.”
Eunyoung smiles so brightly.
I looked at her and nodded her head.
