Transformation or Death

Chapter 126

Romantic Death Incident (6)

Baek Ah-hee stopped eating her late lunch when the sudden alarm sounded.

“…An attack?”

“Wowaaa! Yabai! This is the first time I’ve heard such an alarm!”

She could hardly understand the villain’s way of thinking. Usually, a villain’s thoughts were hard to understand, but today it was even more so.

“Here, of all places?”

It was because of the attack location. This place was the Magical Girl Headquarters.

The epicenter of magic where magical girls have passed through, are still present, and will continue to come in the future.

As numerous magical girls have been here, abundant magic has accumulated.

“Wh-what should we do! Isn’t this yabai (dangerous) now! Is the building going to collapse like this?! I haven’t properly exploited the free cafeteria and café here yet!”

“Calm down, Davi….”

“Ahaha… Yeah, that’s right Haru, you don’t need to make such a fuss.”

This is why Baek Ah-hee and Ara were calm now. It wasn’t because of an arrogant thought like ‘there are many magical girls here, so we can respond even if attacked’.

The fundamental reason why villains haven’t attacked this place until now.

The magic built up in the Magical Girl Headquarters.

“Just be ready to deploy. Ah, should we still prepare though?”

The most representative of these is the protective magic cast by the first magical girl, Sky Polaris, when the building was constructed.

This magic was strengthened by all subsequent magical girls infusing their magical power, making the current Magical Girl Headquarters a building that could be called the safest place in this world.

“It will shake a little bit though.”

Even so, it can’t completely nullify the impact. There will be some degree of shaking.

“Hai (Yes)…?”

In other words, it’s just saying it will shake and that’s it.

“Ja (Then)… Is it okay…?”

Just as Haru asked dejectedly, once again the alarm and warning sounded.

[3 seconds until collision!]

“Aaaack!”

“Haru, quickly transform, transform!”

“Ah, uh, hai!”

[2 seconds left!]

“Do, do, dorosu apu!”

Starlight enveloped Haru’s body. Similarly, transformation sounds rang out and characteristic light wrapped around the bodies of the other two people.

At the same time, a similar light climbed up the outer walls of the building.

[1 second left!]

“Uwaah! I’ll protect our home! Bring it on! Sa, kakattekoi (Come at me)!!!”

[Collision occurs.]

Thud.

There was only a slight vibration. It was a small collision sound that might make one think a bird had mistaken its path and hit a glass wall.

“Huh, what…?”

The light surrounding like a curtain covered the windows, making those inside unable to even know if that collision was real. The only way for them to confirm the truth was to use the monitors placed on the ceiling.

Haru turned her neck to look at the monitor. The villain on the arrow that had been charging towards this place until just now was flying in the opposite direction.

“Eh, what’s that.”

“Kuh, kuh! What is this!”

Sagittarius swam in the sky in bewilderment. The difference from swimming was that no matter how much he moved his body, he couldn’t go in the desired direction.

In the middle of his charge, a strange curtain-like magic spread on the outer wall of the building, and the moment he touched it.

His ambitious aerial body-bomb attack was reflected right back.

Sagittarius knew this magic.

“This is Master’s magic!”

Predicting attacks that would be inflicted on oneself. Preparing magical power in advance to counteract the predicted impact, then offsetting it and inflicting an equal amount of shock to the opponent – an automatic protective magic. It was a magic that greatly contributed to making Sky Polaris the strongest.

“It’s been a while since I’ve felt Master’s magic… It’s thrilling!”

He never imagined such a thing would be there. In fact, Sagittarius didn’t even know that building was the Magical Girl Headquarters.

There was only one reason he targeted that place. He wanted to inform the people presumed to be close to Han Jae-jung of one fact. That fact was none other than the truth he heard from Botis.

Originally, the request was to tell Han Jae-jung, but it’s instinctive to want to do the opposite of what you’re told. He wanted to hear only the truth and didn’t want to listen to Botis’s words at all.

‘Always treating me like a child….’

Sagittarius didn’t like Botis. He didn’t like how she treated him like a child, diminishing his dignity, and nothing about her appealed to him. Also, the fact that she was Sky Polaris’s best friend was one of the reasons he disliked her. But these reasons were just trivial.

‘After taking my memories…!’

Sagittarius has no memories. More precisely, a part was cut off. Botis was the first person he saw when he experienced that loss.

He was convinced that she was the culprit who took his memories. After all, the mastermind is usually the first kind person you meet.

He couldn’t forgive such a suspicious woman for daring to be his master’s friend.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Master’s magic… I’d like to enjoy it more, but I can’t help it.”

He put his hands together in a reverent manner. Then, separating his palms, he held a bow in his right hand and an arrow in his left.

The arrow was a bit peculiar in shape. It was as thick as a stake, thick enough to step on, and instead of fletching at the end, there was a long chain.

As Sagittarius swung the arrow, the chain attached to the arrow’s end wrapped around his waist. Soon his arrow touched the bow, and the bowstring was tightly drawn.

“Because there’s something more fun left to do now!”

Bang! With a sound close to gunfire, his body flew through the sky. The arrow flew, pulling him along with the chain wrapped around him.

After briefly moving his body in the air to find balance, Sagittarius stepped on that arrow and flew through the sky as if riding a board.

If direct contact doesn’t work, then stopping right in front of the main entrance will do. With that thought, the arrow he shot guided him to a spot three steps away from the door.

Kwang! Soon the ground caved in as Sagittarius successfully landed.

“I’m back again!”

“Then go back again.”

What welcomed the re-entering Sagittarius was a baptism of thin ice picks.

The ice pieces, spread like shotgun pellets, were enough to tear his body to shreds.

However, Sagittarius did not allow that.

Sagittarius pulled out the arrow deeply embedded in the ground and then spun it in a circle. The fast rotation made it not a line but a plane, deflecting the ice pieces.
