Chapter 311 – #2-29 the Magical Girl Came to the Club (2)
“I think it would be better to transform. Because you never know what will happen.”
After doing 〈 costume change 〉 at Cookie’s suggestion, she entered the club.
Her oriental black eyes and dark hair were changed to golden brown with costume change 〈 〉.
She is wearing a light dress with a short length.
It might not be a bit out of place to wear at a club, but it’s not too out of place. She couldn’t even afford to change her clothes now anyway.
Alpha passed through her entrance and entered the club through a dark passageway.
* * *
Bang! Bang!
Doo Doo Doo! Ridge! Doo!
The thumping footsteps, the loud music, and the dazzling lights.
Alpha frowned at the raucous appearance of the club.
“Aren’t men going to come if you look so grumpy? Would you like to smile more brightly?”
“Noisy.”
She was an alpha with a grim expression, as if she had come to a place she didn’t want to come to, but she didn’t seem unfamiliar, though she felt uncomfortable.
Cookie was quite surprised by that.
“Ahh, why do you look so calm? I called you here with the intention of making fun of you. Get a sense of the atmosphere.”
“Are you really going to kill me?”
Not at all.
Alpha wasn’t the type to like this kind of atmosphere, but he wasn’t used to it either. She hadn’t seen her in the last few years, but at least during her student days, she had to come and go.
Of course, students are not allowed to enter these entertainment facilities.
However, there are facilities specially permitted for noble children like Alpha to quench their desires secretly, so they often went in and out with friends who had a lot of money but were of poor quality.
Although Alpha was forced to go there not for the purpose of having fun, but for simple socializing.
‘Compared to the place I went to back then, the facility itself isn’t bad.’
There is definitely something different from cheap facilities that just about any young man can come and go.
Alpha inspected the inside of the club, which seemed to smell faintly of money, with an appreciative eye.
“Is there a monster here?”
“As if. It should be on the top floor to be exact.”
At Cookie’s explanation, Alpha pursed her lips as if moaning.
“A club run by a monster… I’m really speechless.”
“Because there must be circumstances for that too. If you look closely, there are more companies and facilities built by monsters than you think. After all, they are using much more advanced technology than the poor earthlings.”
As the saying goes, the more you look closely, the more features or tools that are not possible with Earth’s technology stand out.
For example, a round, drum-shaped cleaning robot that moves around in the middle.
In this day and age, cleaning robots are not strange, but in a situation where there are so many people and sensors are difficult to react properly, they are moving around so as not to be disturbed by people. Without a single error.
In addition, he puts a plate on top of it in the middle and even serves drinks.
AI algorithms that have been completed to that extent cannot be squeezed out with modern technology yet. Even if there were, it’s strange that such sophisticated technology would come naturally to a club of this size. It’s a waste of money.
At first glance, it seems possible and feels fresh, but if you look at it closely, you can see an impossibility of technology at first glance.
Thanks to that, I was convinced that it was a facility run by a monster from [Mekrak].
“And every time I go up, I need a card with a different grade…”
“As if. A club with a total of 5 floors. They say that each floor has different facilities and different services.”
“And there is a monster on the top floor who knows where Yura was captured?”
“I don’t know that much, but it looks like I’ve been in contact with the magical girl in the 〈 goblin costume 〉 recently.”
As Cookie waved a small hand, a video appeared before Alpha’s eyes.
In the video taken from a little far away, it appears that a magical girl in a goblin costume is being attacked by a monster with blue skin and strange tentacles.
“Yura…!”
Certainly, Yura is right behind that. If that’s the case, it means that the green monster that’s attacking is the guy who’s here.
As soon as I tried to take a closer look, the video suddenly disappeared.
“Where am I video?”
“It seems to be a video circulating in the [Mekrak] Community, Nyan. After this, there’s a video that’s a bit like watching, but are you going to watch it?”
“…Done.”
Alpha shook her head and thought about what to do next.
‘For now, you can trust that there is a clue here. Regardless of whether you can trust cookies.’
To be honest, Alpha had little faith in Cookie.
I can’t believe this fairy bastard.
At first, she almost pushed her and forced her to sign a magical girl contract, but even then, she didn’t really believe it.
‘At least if the other person was a human, I’d be able to figure out to some extent whether the words were false or true.’
As for Cookie, I couldn’t quite figure out what he was thinking, so it was very uncomfortable.
“Anyway, do you need to go up to the 5th floor first… Why didn’t you just break in from above?”
“It must be difficult because the security facilities here are pretty good. If it’s a [Mekrak] Facility, it might be a wall that’s so strong that even a magical girl can’t do anything about it, and you can reach the terrifying interception facility.”
“It means that it is safest to go straight ahead. …How do I get upstairs? Can I purchase a VVIP membership?”
“I need to find out. I don’t think it’s just about spending money.”
“…You seem to know something, but you don’t know anything useful?”
“Is that too much?!”
I grabbed the tail of Cookie, who was hitting the cat punch with a soft cotton fist, and threw it away, and went further inside.
Whatever it is, I want to finish it quickly and go to the 〈 Witch Girl 〉 event…
* * *
“Turn it off…”
“As pitiful as it is.”
In the end, it was bullshit.
With the membership upgraded with money, you can go up to the 4th floor.
The 1st and 2nd floors, decorated in a temple-like theme, are exclusively for 〈 free 〉 memberships, the 3rd floor is for VIPs, and the 4th floor is for 〈VVIP〉 memberships.
By the way, the main hall penetrates all the way from the 1st floor to the 4th floor, so you can use it from any floor.
However, the 5th floor, which requires a 〈 special 〉 membership, is completely different.
Almost isolated level.
I don’t know if it ended with the 5th floor in the first place, or if it is said to be 5th floor, but it is partly multi-layered.
Even if you ask the people who work at this club, they just shake their heads and say they don’t know anything.
“Isn’t that… Nonsense…”
Alpha has also used these facilities, so I understand them to some extent.
People who have trouble getting caught by others. For those who need to pay attention to their social status or the eyes of others, there are many facilities that cannot be entered unless introduced by an acquaintance.
And it’s usually the wealthy who provide the facility with a solid source of funding.
It’s like spending money for 1,000 regular users.
“Keuk… I guess I have to force myself to break through.”
“I don’t recommend it.”
“You mean you get points if you attack normal people with the power of 〈 Magical Girl 〉? It doesn’t matter if it shrinks a little.”
“That’s true, but if you notice that it’s strange, that monster might run away. Wouldn’t it? You should be attacking from a distance where you can’t escape.”
“…Nope…”
Oh, that’s really annoying
There’s not even time left until the event, should we just blow it all up?
If I kill him before he escapes–no, he said he shouldn’t have killed me…
‘What can I do…’
Alpha moaned like a dog with a stomach ache.
Recognizing such an Alpha, one person suddenly stopped and approached.
“Alpha?”
“Yes?”
He raised his head at the sound of his name being called.
It was a man. Blonde tanned brown skin. In addition, there is a large tattoo engraved from his left arm to his cheek with his short sleeve rolled up.
His clothes were untied as if he were half naked, revealing his skin, which was wild, and he had several necklaces hanging around his neck, and he was wearing a lot of accessories such as sparkling bracelets and earrings.
It’s just a bully-looking impression, but it’s clear that the clothes you’re wearing loosely and even the ring on your finger are luxury goods that would make an ordinary person panic if you know the price.
“Alpha right? See you here? What is that head Did you finally dye your hair too? I told you to do it! Haha!”
‘Oh, what is it? Who is it?’
Who is this tanned tanning bastard?
After she became a magical girl, she had no personal contact with anyone. Since she was originally an alpha who lived on her own, she deliberately avoided meeting her family.
Because he was a man, he didn’t know how people who knew him would react to him who had turned into a woman.
But among all the friendships made after becoming a magical girl, there shouldn’t have been a man like this… Who is…?
‘Oh, no. Perhaps.’
Then, when he thought of a possibility, Alpha’s head spun.
And I was able to quickly find someone in the pages of memories I was flipping through.
“Uh… Han Chan-deuk? Glory Group’s——”
“Ahahaha! That’s right. …Can you call me Dave now? After being abroad for 2 years, is it more comfortable that way? And he also changed his Korean name to Han Su-ho? Okay?”
Yes. The fact that he has a complex about his idioty name is the same as in the past.
“Hey~ I came back to Korea after 2 years, but I can’t even contact you. Didn’t you expect to see me here?”
“…Me too. You can see it here.”
Han Chan-deuk… No, Han Su-ho is one of my friends from the social world in the past.
I don’t know if I should call it a friend. After all, it was just a calculated relationship with people who would inherit each family’s lineage.
However, the strange thing is that Han Chan-deuk immediately recognized Alpha, who had turned into a woman. If she hadn’t been in Korea for two years, she wouldn’t have known the circumstances of Alpha, who became a magical girl a few months ago.
‘The picture on the resident registration card and the name were all changed.’
He couldn’t even remember his own name, and the names and photos on all documents had been changed to what they are now.
It seems that even in the memories of the people she originally knew, Alpha’s memories were manipulated in such a way that ‘she was originally a woman’.
――You put so much effort into feeding me the candy.
Alpha, feeling resentful of her, glared at her cookie.
It’s this guy right in front of him.
I could barely recall, but I don’t think the Han Chan-deuk in my memory did anything like tanning blonde hair, and he didn’t seem to have such a frivolous personality… Did a foreign film suit you?
“But it’s really nice. I’m famous these days, so I’ve been hanging out here for a week already? But you’ve never seen it before?”
“Today is the first time.”
“Really~. If so, you’re really good I didn’t get tired of staying here for a week. Oh, would you like to go up to the 5th floor together? The facilities upstairs are really cool.”
Alpha’s ears perked up at Suho’s words.
“Really?! Can you go up to the 5th floor?!”
“Yes. Because I can introduce you. I also enjoy having a lot of people to play with!”
Lee Suho smiled confidently with a tattooed face on one cheek. She seems to be shouting ‘Only trust me!’
But then, quite naturally, she tried to place her arm on her shoulder, and Alpha reflexively raised her hand and thumped it away.
“No touch.”
“…Ah, you’ve been like that since before.”
“You are so reckless. Keep personal distance, whether the other person is of the same sex or the opposite sex.”
Despite showing an attitude of blatant refusal, Suho just smiled kindly and turned inside.
“First of all, since my party is on the 4th floor, let’s go together for a while. Anyway, after applying for the 〈 Special 〉 membership, it will take some time.”
Chasing after Suho, who was advancing ahead, Alpha also went inside.
I was relieved that things turned out to be easier than I thought.
