29 – 10. This villain does it for free -5

As the battle began, Stella and Natalia began to block the tentacle monsters. The quantity was in the hundreds, but they seemed to think it was worth a try.

Stella, who received Natalia’s buff, shoots star arrows and eliminates the tentacle monsters.

Monsters being swept away by the pouring star cluster.

While they were doing that, Iris stood proudly in front of me.

“Your opponent is me, Kraken.”

“Iris.”

From noble mtl dot com

“What, why is your voice so weak? It seemed like you were going to go crazy just a moment ago.”

“Does it look like that?”

“Yes.”

“That’s honest.”

Actually, I dragged them here and tied up Stella and Natalia. The second plan is already a success.

However, I took as much time as possible.

To delay the battle even a little.

The reason was simple.

‘…I really feel like I’m falling behind…’

‘Hold on. Now there’s only the third plan left.’

‘Ha…My whole body hurts…’

Because I really feel like I’m going to die.

The downside I felt while living with the Kraken is that the fuel efficiency is not good.

If we were to evaluate Kkomolii, it would be high cost and high performance.

The efficiency is truly amazing, but it requires a lot of mana to use it.

I created a barrier of tentacles and used it to hit Black Heart. After that, I started to feel unwell.

I’m barely surviving on the drink I drank in the morning.

In addition, the technology just used is ‘self-replication’.

This is a technique that reduces the amount of tentacles available and consumes a lot of magical energy instead of cutting off tentacles to create several monsters.

To put it simply, am I now like a car running a red light?

You can go further, but it’s close.

In the meantime, Iris attacks as if she has nothing more to say.

Whoop! And his fist split the air.

Puck! And he struck one of my tentacles. The tentacle that fell to the floor twitched and soon turned into powder and disappeared.

How many more tentacles can we operate in the future?

How many more can we play?

Iris grinned, sensing that she had a chance to win.

“Be prepared. Today is the day I will finally take off that mask.”

That’s a bit difficult.

I looked at Iris and joked.

“Even after looking like this, the bare face looks pretty good.”

“Lie.”

“It’s true. There’s even a girl who likes it and follows him around.”

Iris snorted.

“I don’t know who she is, but that woman must have really strange eyes.”

“…That’s right. Even I think it’s an unusual taste.”

I decided not to reveal that that someone was you. It’s something you don’t need to know.

After that, the battle continued. A battle in which Iris attacks and I defend.

As time passed, I heard words from Kkomul.

‘Everyone is gathered. If I can somehow squeeze it out, I think I can use it at least once.’

“…Good.”

“What is good?”

Iris, who continued to attack, stops. I guess he thought there was something he was hiding from me.

Well, that’s true.

I slowly took a step back and headed towards Yuyul.

The guy was now tied up with tentacles, his mouth blocked.

I lifted Yuyul lightly.

“Are you aware of the trolley dilemma?”

“Trolley dilemma?”

“…You don’t seem to know. Are you studying properly? Your life as a magical girl is important, but your real life is also important.”

“Don’t give advice on other people’s lives for no reason!”

Iris blushed. Then she asked a question.

“So what is that…?”

“…There are one person and five people on the track. If you were you, would you pull the lever to change the course or not?”

“Ah! I know! You mean the one that says whether you will sacrifice one person or save many?”

“Yes, I understand.”

I slowly retreated while holding Yuyul. Iris tried to stop me but was faltered by the monsters blocking her path.

“What are you planning to do?”

“Life is always a series of choices and hardships. In them, we make choices and always regret them.”

“…You always say difficult things, you.”

“hahahaha, is that so? Anyway, this is what I’m talking about, old enemy.”

I looked back at Iris from the rooftop railing.

“Choices always leave regrets.”

“…”

“So, I hope you make a choice with no regrets… No, that’s a mistake. I hope you make a choice with fewer regrets.”

I shouted to Iris, who was still staring at me blankly.

“Choose! Iris! Will you take a step toward peace by killing me? Or will she save this girl!”

“Wait a minute! What do you plan on doing!?”

“I’m just giving you a choice. If she ignores this child’s death and gets rid of me, you’ll be a hero.”

Last plan 3.

It is what makes Iris find the rate.

This was the purpose from the beginning. My goal is to make Yuyul feel grateful to Noah.

It was like that in the original.

If you want to become friends with her Yoo-yul, you must acknowledge that she is stronger than you and save her from her crisis.

I felt a little uneasy, but I decided to trust Noah.

If he is this guy, he will definitely come to rescue Yoo-yul.

This was also my intuition as a player who had seen her actions dozens of times.

“Okay then.”

“Hey, you crazy guy!!”

I jumped down, throwing Yuyul out of her building.

In the seat next to me is Yuyul, who quietly closes her eyes as if she has sensed her death, and when I look above her, there is Iris in a downward flight, her eyes fluttering.

“Now! Iris! My favorite nemesis! What choice will you make!”

+++++

‘Crazy guy, crazy guy, crazy guy!!’

Noah began to fly chasing the falling Yuyul and Kraken.

The two were falling quickly. If you target the Kraken in this state, you will be able to handle it.

I might really kill him, but that black guy over there must have some plan in mind. He probably wouldn’t do anything to kill himself.

It looks like there’s still room for tentacles. Maybe he won’t die.

On the contrary.

‘…What is the rate?’

The one that seemed truly in danger was Yuyul’s side.

I just quietly close my eyes, as if I don’t even have the magic power left to transform.

The tears that flowed out scatter into the air, and the words are muttered softly.

“I don’t want to die…I don’t want to die…”

“…Sheesh.”

Iris glared at the Kraken once and turned her direction. What she caught was Yuyul’s body.

Iris, holding her, begins her upward flight.

“Ah…Iris? Why…?”

“Even if we save him, he’s still dissatisfied.”

“That’s not it…The Kraken is your archenemy, right?”

“But.”

“But that’s not it…It’s a good opportunity, right? It’s a chance to end a bad relationship…To destroy the enemy.”

Hwiik.

Iris arrived at the rooftop and threw Yuyul away.

Boom! Yuyul rolling over while making a sound.

Fortunately, all the monsters had been subdued.

“If you know you did something wrong, raise your hand and reflect!”

“…”

“Oh, and.”

“…?”

“I’m not playing as a magical girl to destroy my enemies.”

“…”

“I’m becoming a magical girl to save people.”

With those words, Iris hurriedly moved underneath her.

I saw this guy. As expected, it was attached to the exterior wall of the building using the suction power of its tentacles.

Kwaak!

A fist that requires strength.

It fell due to the force of gravity and hit the Kraken’s head at the same time.

No matter how hard it is, the Kraken collapses as if it can’t withstand this level of shock.

Iris hurriedly took off her mask to secure his safety.

“…Ha…Again?”

I sighed in frustration.

‘Escape.’

A technique frequently used by the Kraken before it is captured. The method is to create an alter ego identical to oneself and then escape.

‘It would already be too late then.’

Iris returned to the rooftop, leaving behind her annoyed feelings.

And she witnessed it.

“So…Keep your hands up…Is it okay to do this?”

Yuyul is seen kneeling with both hands raised.

When was it?

I remembered what my uncle said.

“…It’s true.”

Children who don’t listen are said to be beaten.

+++++

Jjoo op.

Noah, who drank iced Americano, glared at Yuyul.

“So.”

“Yes…”

“I was raised in a violent group when I was young, and the speaking habits I learned back then still haven’t changed?”

“Yes…”

“You’re doing well now, aren’t you?”

“I’m trying! No…I’m trying…”

From what I heard, Yuyul seems to have been a weapon used by violent groups.

“Sometimes, there are people who take a talented child who knows nothing and use it as a weapon for themselves.”

These were Seo Jin-ah’s words.

Her eyes were full of sadness.

Yuyul spoke while still raising her arms.

“In order not to be ignored, I had to appear strong. As a result, I learned to say bad things and somehow hide my weaknesses…”

“But how are you here now?”

“My adoptive father took me away while washing his hands… No, he ran away. At that time, he destroyed the entire organization… No, it was destroyed! At that time, I could go with him and live like this.”

There was such a situation.

Noah looked at Yuyul intently and asked a question.

“Hey. Answer me straight then.”

“…Yes!”

“I ate the sweet and sour chicken that time. You know that thing you criticized. It was delicious, but it wasn’t delicious.”

“Dakkangjeong was delicious… No… It was very delicious.”

“Is it true?”

“Yes! I wanted to eat it again whenever I got the chance.”

Noah had a question about the guy who was eating his food.

Why do you do that when you say you have a lot of money? Like a child who starved for several days.

Something you can buy or make.

Noah, who thought so, soon found out why.

“If my dad were alive, he would have made it… He was a damn good cook too.”

“Ah…”

“Because I have to save money, I don’t order food often.”

“Huh? Didn’t you have a lot of money at home?”

“…I live in an orphanage?”

I was speechless.

“Dad washed his hands and opened an orphanage. Now there aren’t many, but there used to be a lot of kids.”

“Then why did you say you wouldn’t use the money earlier?”

“I…Just trying to look strong…”

“…Hey, you idiot!”

Beans!

Noah hit Yuyul’s head with her fist.

“What’s important about looking strong!

“Evil…!”

“Get your card back quickly! It’s fine, even snacks, so buy a lot!”

“It hurts so bad…No…It hurts so much…”

Yuyul held his head and cried.

Looks like a stray cat, looking very frightened.

At that, Noah’s heart weakened.

“…I’m sorry.”

I remember seeing it somewhere. That look.

I pretended to be shy because I didn’t want to be pitied and pitied for no reason.

‘…I feel like I was before I met you.’

That was me.

Perhaps, if he hadn’t met his uncle, he wouldn’t have been like that now.

He acts like a brat for no reason, and makes noise by clashing with others.

“…Sigh.”

Noah reached out his hand to Yuyul’s head again.

Are you hitting me again? Yuyul flinched.

But this time it wasn’t the fist that went.

Just like that man, soft palms.

It was Noah’s favorite pat.

“Did it hurt a lot?”

“…Yes.”

“I’m sorry. I won’t do that again. So.”

“…”

“Don’t act strong for no reason.”

“But… When I go back home, everyone is younger than me… So I have to be strong…”

From noble mtl dot com

“Pretending to be strong is different from being strong, understand?”

“Yes…”

“Yes, then I have to apologize to my sister now.”

Nod.

Nodding her head, Yuyul turns her head to Seo Jinah.

“Sorry for calling it a chicken coop…”

“It’s okay. I already forgot about you.”

“But…”

“Huh?”

“What does chicken coop mean?”

“You didn’t know?”

“Yes… Back in the old days, scary men ran into chicken coops…”

I was shocked.

What are you doing like that in front of the kids?

Noah stroked Yuyul’s bangs even more kindly.

“You can’t do that again, okay?”

“Yes…”

“Okay. Now, Yul, drink it too.”

“I will eat well.”

Yuyul said this and sipped his blueberry smoothie. I think I quite liked the way I drank with both hands, as if I couldn’t fit a large cup in my hand.

Seo Jin-ah opens her mouth while looking at Yu-yul who is drinking hard.

“Hmm…I guess I’ll have to go to Yul’s house later.”

“Would you like to go?”

“Yeah. It looks like they’re just living with their kids. I have a friend who knows this area.

That will do.

Nodding her head, Noah took another sip of her drink.

Then suddenly, she felt someone’s gaze.

It was Lee Tae-hwa.

“…Why?”

“No, just?”

“Why are you doing this again?”

“Well…Huh…I thought Noah, you usually get patted with that kind of expression.”

“What did my expression look like?”

Lee Tae-hwa stroked her Yoo-yul’s head and reproduced Noah’s expression from before.

Warm eyes and slightly raised corners of the mouth. Her eyes are full of love.

It was an expression I saw often on her face.

Isn’t this the expression she showed every time he stroked her head?

“Ah, I’m jealous. You get a lot of love from you.”

“No…Hey.”

“No, you’re just patting me like this and then you’re ready to kiss me-“

“No!”

Wheeik! Noah stands up from his seat.

“So, have you done everything you need to do today?”

“Yes. I’ll go shopping with Yul and then go.”

“I can just go home too.”

Noah also nodded her head.

“Then everyone will disperse with this. My sister and Yul will do some more shopping, and Taehwa will go home carefully. Now, disperse!”

“Noah, go see him quickly, too.”

“Hzmlurg…”

“hehehe.”

Lee Tae-hwa is a prankster until the end. Noah calmed down her boiling heart and headed to his uncle’s house.

I told him not to do it, but it is true that I miss him for some reason.

As she patted others, she felt like she wanted to receive it herself.

She also wanted to quickly give a gift.

With such a pounding heart, Noah rang her doorbell.

“…hehehe.”

Noah enjoyed this time the most.

This momentary moment of ringing the doorbell and waiting for him.

The desire to meet you quickly and the anticipation of seeing you soon combine to create nervousness, but even that feeling is joyful.

But today was different.

Even though I rang the doorbell and knocked on the door, the man did not come out.

‘Are you sleeping…?’

It seems likely. For some reason, you seemed tired these days.

‘I can’t help it.’

Noah left his regret behind and trudged home.

It was what happened next that surprised Noah.

The cell phone rang.

After wondering for a moment whether he should answer or not because it was an unknown number, he pressed the connect button.

I hear a voice I’ve never heard before through the cell phone.

[Hello. Are you Mr. Nanoa by any chance?]

“Yes, that’s right. Who are you?”

[Oh, you’re right. I am contacting you because none other than Sa Shin-hyeon is in the emergency room of our hospital.]

“…Yes?”
