Chapter 40

Like a Comet in Your Heart (1)

“Ah!”

“Ah! No! The Vega star is still a patient!”

“Who cares if those greedy girls are patients!”

Pink Deneb stuck out her tongue.

In the midst of this, Red Vega was somehow unwrapping a small candy and putting it in her mouth.

Even though her fixation on sweets felt cringy, it was fortunate that she could at least relieve her stress this way.

“Big sis is mean! The bad one is that villain, not the sweets I gave! My Vega isn’t bad either!”

White Davi hugged Red Vega’s neck and protested to her.

It was difficult to immediately understand what she was saying, but the gist seemed to be ‘we’re good people, why are you insulting us?’

Lightly dismissing her protest, Pink Deneb casually responded. “Vega speaks really well.”

“Vega is Altair’s pair! Of course she speaks well!”

“Okay, love each other forever and ever.”

“Yes!”

Seeing the foreigner who didn’t understand sarcasm nod firmly, she gave a wry smile.

She turned her gaze back to Red Vega.

“Hey kiddo.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Is it tasty?”

“...Big sis, by any chance.”

“By any chance what.”

“Did we make you mad by eating without you?” Red Vega asked meekly and split a cookie in half, handing it to Pink Deneb.

Receiving it, Pink Deneb chuckled.

“I’m not going to bite off your baby heads and eat them. Eat lots.”

“But I’ll be an adult in a few months!”

“Still a baby.”

Fortunately, she didn’t seem too upset.

Of course, it could just be an act.

But the fact that she could disguise her true feelings like that was proof she was still capable of social life.

If her mental fatigue was substantial, such an act would be impossible.

“You rascal.”

“I’m the lovely and adorable White Davi!”

“Yeah, yeah, you brat. Get off the patient’s bed and come see me for a bit. You’re not the patient, are you?”

“Yes! The sick ones are big sis and Vega! I’m perfectly fine!”

“Your games are really pissing me off... Anyway, come see me.”Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Pink Deneb beckoned White Davi with her finger.

Blinking blankly, White Davi put a jelly in Red Vega’s mouth and got off the bed.

I was worried they were getting too immersed in their Altair and Vega roleplaying.

The star names used by magical girls are simply taken from real stars, with no deep connection.

The fact that a first-magnitude star could actually be dimmer than other magical girls’ stars is evidence of this.

White Davi approached Pink Deneb. As a middle schooler, the short Pink Deneb had to look up at her.

“What is it! Did you call me for your famous scolding?! Wow! K-brutality!”

“Don’t put a ‘K’ in front of it, your original bullying country... And no, that’s not why I called you.”

Pink Deneb reached out to put her arm around White Davi’s neck but couldn’t reach due to the height difference.

“...”

Seeing Pink Deneb’s pitiful look, White Davi bent over, allowing her to quickly throw an arm over her shoulders.

“Oho, so it wasn’t brutality, but a sneak attack!”

“No, it’s not that... Keep your voice down.”

Slowly stepping back, she increased the distance from Red Vega.

Stretching out her legs, Pink Deneb leaned in and whispered in White Davi’s ear.

“Hey. Does she seem okay to you?”

“Me? You mean me?”

“No, not you, the kiddo.”

“Ah.”

White Davi also lowered her voice to match Pink Deneb’s.

Red Vega was trying to stuff an entire deluxe giant scone that had crumbled into her mouth.

“Hmm... To be honest, she didn’t seem okay.”

“...?! How so?”

White Davi’s expression became serious as she explained.

“Well... When I came over and hugged her a few times... I asked her something...”

“What did you ask?”

“About how she got done in by that villain...”

“God, watch your language kid.”

Pink Deneb was conflicted whether she should just cut off this foreigner’s internet entirely.

Her own language habits were partly to blame for White Davi’s speech patterns, but she didn’t suspect herself of being a bad influence at all.

“So... I asked what it felt like to be a complete failure...”

“Of course she would cry.”

“I thought... she could laugh it off... be a party person... find it an amusing joke...”

***

Han Jae-jung killed a nearby villain and shook off the buried blood.

A few days had passed since that terribly long day.

Seeing that Red Vega was still not active, it was certain that she had received quite a strong shock. Even her suicide counseling schedule was postponed by three days.

“Damn it...”

The guilt welled up again. How should he apologize for that? What face should he show that child? No, from the start, attempting this contact itself would be a nuisance to the person involved.

‘It would probably just look like apologizing simply for his own comfort...’

It’s hypocrisy.

From the very beginning when he acted as a villain without revealing his identity, this was something he should have been prepared for.

He would endure hatred many times over if he had to.

Getting cursed at was an old experience, so he was quite used to it.

‘No, because of that experience, the backlash could be even worse.’

Even now, the gaze of others is unpleasant.

It’s rather rare for him to only deal with villains in back alleys like this.

He often hears the screams of citizens, but it doesn’t help resolve his trauma.

He can only think that it would be better if they were silenced.

Unlike magical girls, the fact that he operates while concealed by a helmet has become something of a breathing hole for him.

He tapped his belt, making it track the location of a nearby villain.

Fortunately, for now, it hadn’t issued quests as recklessly as before.

Excluding a few downsides, it’s quite a convenient machine.

As he requested, the belt instantly scanned the surroundings and transmitted the location information to his brain. The villain was located closer than he had imagined.

“Hmm.”

He thought it was located there, but it wasn’t.

It was approaching.

So of course it would be close. Han Jae-jung immediately prepared for battle. The power of the stars gradually drew nearer. He clenched his fist.

“Comrade~!!!”

And unclenched it.

“Tch.”

“Oh, clicking your tongue at someone as soon as you see them! That’s quite a bad habit you have. Your wife will be sad.”

“I don’t have a wife. Do you?”

“Of course I don’t either! Hahaha!”

“For something that isn’t even human to call itself human is ridiculous.”

“‘Villain’, isn’t it? Since I’m half-human, it’s not bad for me to call myself that, right?”

Han Jae-jung sighed deeply and pressed his forehead. The Compass villain was noisy as always today.

“Being able to talk doesn’t make one human. One must follow set rules and have a sense of compassion to be human.”

“Then I’m even more human. There’s no one with as rich a sensibility as me!”

“Crazy villain bastard...”

“Oh! My name isn’t Crazy Villain Bastard!”

The Compass villain bowed his body like a stage actor taking a curtain call.

“My name is Jason!”

“It sounds like a name suited for someone skilled with a chainsaw. What’s its origin?”

“I got it from an English name random generator! It has no special meaning! Life itself doesn’t originally have any meaning either, comrade! History starts from mere chance!”

“What the...”

Wouldn’t it be better to just use the constellation name instead? Han Jae-jung clicked his tongue loudly.

“Well, leaving that aside, didn’t you deny being a comrade before?”

“Ah, about that.”

The villain who called himself Jason squared his shoulders boldly.

“Since I didn’t hear your objective, it’s the same as not having one! For me, being a comrade is still a state of having no objective! So I’m a comrade!”

“Then just say it straight away, my objective is...”

“Ah ah! I can’t hear it! I can’t hear anything!”

Why did he even come here? He was slowly getting annoyed.

“Why did you come find me? I don’t want to chat idly with you.”

“You’re still so harsh. Of course, idle chit chat isn’t my purpose.”

The villain named Jason took out some sort of mechanical lump from his pocket.

Han Jae-jung’s eyes widened. His lens seemed to glow red. A belt buckle in the design of a telescope. It was clearly a ‘belt’.

“See, this? Doesn’t it look similar to your belt, comrade? I asked Bo and he gave it to me! Haha, how about it? Now you and I have an outward similarity too!”

The villain who called himself Jason attached that buckle to his waist.

Since he already had a belt, he attached it around his abdomen area instead of his waist.

At the same time.

“Aaaaaahh!!!”

An electric shock burst from the belt and he collapsed.

“...Why did you come here?”

I was truly curious.
