Chapter 238 – The Moon Turning Red (3)
It hasn’t been long since I started working as Magical Girl Marika, but
Marika, whose popularity is skyrocketing after the YouTuber Gil Rimm incident.
At the recent General Election for Magical Girls, she proudly took second place.
1st place is Letia.
In second place is Marika.
In third place are Dana, Morgan and Rita.
To be honest, the difference between the 2nd and 3rd place is only 10 votes, so it’s not a big difference, but
It hasn’t been long since I’ve been active as a magical girl, but I couldn’t help but be surprised at how popular I was.
The result was the fans just a moment ago.
The fandom called Marikadan or Ohammadan (?) Was proof of that.
I have an exclusive fan cafe, and naturally Marika-related products come out one after another.
So, like other magical girls, my goods were coming out.
“You get more calls than you think?”
Levy smiled with a satisfied smile beside him.
That was also because the fairies were in charge of all of this.
Magical girls can make a contract with the company themselves, but
At that time, the original identity may be revealed, so it is said that fairies solve most of them.
“By the way, are you signing a contract in the form of a cat?”
“That’s not right. There’s someone we know on this side.”
“That’s interesting… “
The more you know, the more mysterious the world of fairies.
She is said to have a role for each of them, except for the Fairy Queen, who is asleep because of the Demon King.
The fairies who support magical girls like Levina and Lucy, whom I met the other day.
And other support fairies who support the fairies in charge.
Here, even the fairies who do administrative work and other things.
I was amazed at the complex structure of the fairy world.
“Are there really that many?”
“Originally, it was the way the Fairy Queen checked and handled everything… “
“Ah… “
It seems that he can’t move after falling into a deep sleep because of the demon king.
So it seemed that the other fairies were sharing the job.
“And since the magical girls fight against the monsters on our behalf, we should be in charge of this part.”
Perfect role division.
Due to the nature of fairies, they couldn’t fight monsters, so I knew well beforehand that they had to appoint an agent called a magical girl to fight them.
A thought struck me then.
I looked at Levy and asked a question.
“But why is it so difficult for fairies to fight monsters?”
“… That is… “
Levy is a bit difficult to talk about.
She has told me everything since the recent Mirena incident, but it seems difficult to say.
“I’m not trying to hide it, but I’m a little shy in the position of a fairy.”
“What are you talking about?”
“That… That’s why fairies can’t fight monsters… That is… “
“That is?”
“… Fighting monsters… Most of them get corrupted.”
“Corruption?”
“That… So, as for the monsters… It’s a story about being that way. Haha… “
Levy ends awkwardly.
From her words, I understood the situation right away.
-In short, you’re talking about becoming a female right in front of a monster?
A direct word from Lee Ji-eun.
I couldn’t help but blush at that one word.
Having been beaten by NTR men so far, I am well aware of how easily Lee Ji-eun’s body can fall.
In such a state, she had been captured by men six times, so I could vaguely understand why Levy was shy and tried to spare her words.
This is a pretty serious problem.
So the reason fairies can’t deal with monsters is when they fight monsters… It means to be female
Then, in the end, it meant that the magical girl could not be supported, and the period for the demon king to regain his power would be faster.
Mountain beyond the mountain.
In a way, I thought it was right for the magical girls to fight monsters on behalf of the fairies and for the fairies to support such magical girls.
“… Thanks for telling me.”
“Ah… No. Rather, thank you for understanding.”
Levi laughs awkwardly.
At her words, I stopped to say something.
But Levi noticed this part.
Levi spoke to her as if she knew what I was thinking.
“Among the currently active monsters, there are those who have changed because the fairies have fallen.”
“Ah… “
“It happened around the time the magical girl was gone, so before we started fighting the monsters in earnest.”
“Then how long have you been fighting this fight?”
“It’s been a very long time. Because the magical girls of today have also changed with each era.”
“I see.”
-Then, is it repeated that the demon lord is sealed and the demon lord is resurrected again?
Jieun Lee’s question.
At that question, I looked at Levi.
“Then is there no way to permanently eliminate the demon lord?”
“Currently not.”
“For now?”
“We are still looking for a way to completely eliminate the demon lord. So, I found an ancient document.”
“In that ancient document… “
“That’s right. There is an explanation of the core of the demon king’s power… It’s a long record, so I think it will take time.”
“I’m glad though. Because there is a possibility to completely eliminate the Demon King.”
Levi nodded her head at those words.
She stretched her body like a cat, stretched her body, and looked at me.
“Now let’s wrap up and go home.”
“Huh.”
A night when the moon has already risen.
I followed Levi’s words and prepared to return home.
* * *
I took a shower and came out into the living room.
In the living room, she could see Levy already on her mother’s lap.
“My daughter suffered.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
She explains to her mother that she has been late lately due to her swimming team activities.
Therefore, my mother had no doubts about my late arrival.
“My daughter is swimming hard, what more can she do?”
“No, it’s fine.”
I sat next to her mother, wiping her wet hair with a towel.
I cradled her mother’s arms and made her smile.
“This is enough.”
“Oops. Our daughter Who do you resemble and only do pretty things like this?”
“Hmm… Because you look like your mother?”
– How are you?
Lee Ji-eun throwing up.
I tried to ignore her and continued the conversation with her mother.
“By the way, you’ve been going next door often lately. What’s that for?”
“Oh, my neighbor is a bit busy, so I’m helping.”
“Hmm… “
“You don’t have to worry too much. I received a lot of help from the neighbor next door, and I’m worried about Jinsu, too.”
A child named Jinsu who took care of her mother once before.
Unlike other kids at that age, I was a child with a strangely perverted personality, so I had no choice but to be a little cautious.
But maybe it was my prejudice, the kid who followed me better than I thought.
Even so, if I asked him to take charge again, he would probably oppose it.
Anyway, helping the next door is my mother’s choice.
So, I had no intention of saying anything about my mother.
While talking to my mom.
News on TV caught my eye.
A news reporter eagerly explaining something in a clear voice caught my eye.
– The day when you can clearly see a total lunar eclipse in three years is coming.
And subtitles underneath.
It was explained that the total lunar eclipse, when the moon turns red, is the best visible day this time.
“That’s interesting.”
Even the mother is amazed.
According to the explanation of the university professor who came out after the reporter,
It was explained that this total lunar eclipse would be more spectacular than the total lunar eclipse that has occurred so far as the moon turns red when it is closest.
A total lunar eclipse in which the moon turns red.
It was just that the moon turned red, but I thought it was strange because it wasn’t usually a good thing.
Then, suddenly, Levy pulls my arm.
When I was with her mother, it was the first time that Levy, who just acted like a cat, suddenly pulled her on me, so I looked at her like what was wrong.
Levi seems to have something to say to me.
At this behavior of her Levi, I nodded her head and looked at her mother.
“Levi must be hungry.”
“Okay? She gave the feed a while ago, but it’s a heirloom that’s lacking.”
“I’ll go to her kitchen with Levi and give her a snack.”
“Sure.”
That’s how mom allowed it.
I picked up Levi and casually headed to her kitchen.
When I arrived at the kitchen and looked toward her living room, my mother was watching the news.
I looked at Levi with a puzzled expression.
“What’s the matter.?”
“I called to say that monsters become stronger when a total lunar eclipse occurs.”
“Huh?”
“Every time a total lunar eclipse occurs, the demon lord’s power grows stronger.”
“… “
“Because of that, it is certain that monsters influenced by the Demon King will rampage more.”
“Then what should I do?”
“I think it will be okay during the total lunar eclipse if we eliminate the monsters as much as possible like we are doing now.”
“Then it’s nothing special.”
“But… “
Levi pauses for a moment.
Her behavior made me laugh at her.
“What are you worried about?”
“When the demon king’s power returns, his subordinates are naturally affected.”
“You talked about that earlier. Monsters are affected and become stronger.”
“I just said that monsters become stronger under that influence.”
“That’s right. But not only the monster… The direct subordinates of the Demon King will also be affected.”
“A direct subordinate?”
“Commonly, fairies and magical girls say that they are the Four Heavenly Kings… These are also beings who disappeared when the demon king was sealed.”
“However?”
“I’m worried that they won’t be resurrected during the total lunar eclipse, when the demon king’s power temporarily returns.”
In a word, a story about a mid-boss appearing.
He was a demon king who had been using monsters to gather his strength in order to grow his strength.
At the time of the total lunar eclipse, its power was temporarily restored, meaning that the four loyal men who followed him would be resurrected.
The feeling of sounding like a different being from the monsters I’ve fought so far.
So I looked at Levy and asked a question.
“Are those Four Heavenly Kings very strong?”
“It’s much stronger than the monsters I’ve dealt with so far.”
Levi’s firm answer.
Then, further explanations continued.
“Because they are the people who assisted by the Demon King.”
“Then will all the four kings be resurrected at once?”
“That won’t be it. Because during the total solar eclipse, the demon lord’s power is temporarily amplified… Instead, one of the four heavenly kings will be resurrected.”
“Who do you think will be resurrected?”
“In my opinion… “
Popularity felt at that time.
At that moment, me and Levy immediately stopped her and started acting.
“Ji-eun. Who were you talking to?”
“I was talking to Levi.”
“Meow.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Smiling mother.
Her mother looked at Levi and nodded her head.
“My Levi is a talkative person.”
Mom stretched out her hand and stroked Levi’s hair.
At her mother’s touch, Levi made a happy expression like a cat.
