***

Late fall. night. rooftop. Cold wind.

Two women on a gray meadow look at each other.

“Tell me.”

A woman with an elegant appearance walked by.

The question was directed to the woman sitting on the floor. The heavy breathing indirectly indicated that there had been a fierce fight just moments ago.

Imina bowed down to the star-adorned, young-faced woman.

“Why do you know the face of the Heavenly Demon?”

“If it’s Cheonma… Ah… that uncle’s teacher.”

As Kim Seong-ah mumbled, sorting out the jumbled memories, the shadow behind Lee Mi-na stirred.

“Uncle?”

Lee Mi-na bent down further and looked into Kim Seong-ah’s eyes.

Mysterious purple eyes that seem to contain stars. I could feel a bright and cheerful energy in those eyes that were full of life.

Kim Seong-ah looked up at Lee Mi-na. He did not avoid the gaze that was staring at him.

She felt like she had entered the deep sea. My body was shaking from the pressure that was squeezing my entire body.

“You must be talking about Mr. Inho.”

When Lee Mi-na, who was answering herself, stood up, the energy that had been constricting Kim Seong-ah disappeared at once.

Kim Seong-ah caught her breath and stood up, touching the ground with her cane.

“…Did she go dimension first? No, it’s impossible to move between dimensions without Mr. Procrastination.”

Lee Mi-na thought as she patted her sore head.

“Hey.”

Kim Seong-ah approached Lee Mi-na, who was muttering.

“Or did you create someone other than me who can travel across dimensions? No, this kid belongs here…”

“Hey.”

“…?”

When the magical girl gently tapped her shoulder, Imina was startled and took a step back.

It seems he was lost in his own world.

“…Who is your sister?”

A being who made the witch disappear at once, even though she lost her strength.

A being that wields alien power and emits a threatening aura, but no evil aura is felt.

‘I’ve never heard of a person like this before.’

Kim Seong-ah felt dizzy.

“I….”

The woman in black paused for a moment and looked at Seongah Kim.

“Wait a minute… You didn’t answer my question.”

“What was the question?”

“That face from before. How do you know?”

“Uh… um….”

Seongah Kim rolled her eyes. After weighing the pros and cons, she closed and opened her eyes as if she had made a decision.

“I figured it out through magic. I’m a magical girl.”

“I see.”

“Uh… aren’t you surprised?”

“What?”

“You mean she’s a magical girl? Me?”

She spins around, showing off her star decorations.

Lee Mi-na just looked at him indifferently.

“So?”

“Yes? …I was just wondering if you weren’t surprised.”

“…Well, I’m not that impressed.”

I had just come to see a woman who spewed black flame from her hands and blew away all the moisture in the air, and a woman who repaired her body even after her head was blown off and her arms were torn off and wielded a great sword.

And what about yourself? Traveling through dimensions, leading a shadow.

God, power, dimension… Magical girls did not make much of an impression on Lee Mi-na, who was immersed in the abnormal.

“What, what!”

Kim Seong-ah, who did not know the reason for the lukewarm response, took the meaning differently.

Kim Seong-ah raised her voice at Lee Mi-na, who looked her up and down and spoke indifferently.

“Shh. quietly. My head is pounding.”

Either way, Imina put her index finger to her lips and asked her to lower her voice.

‘What is this, lady?’

Kim Seong-ah, who had already changed her title to ‘Ajumma’, grumbled internally.

Do you think I’ll be scared if I walk around wrapped in black clothes? Of course it’s a little scary, but…

“Anyway, what is the lady’s name?”

“Ajumma…?”

Lee Mi-na’s eyes, which had been pressing her temples, rolled back.

“…Sister.”

When Kim Seong-ah, who understood the mood, corrected the title, Lee Mi-na said the name while frowning due to the persistent headache.

“My name is Mina Lee.”

“Ah… Imina. …Huh?”

“Do you know me?”

“…I know your name.”

“You don’t know my name? How?”

“You don’t know my name?”

How do you know? When I looked at him with that feeling, Kim Seong-ah shrugged his shoulders.

“The uncle told me.”

“You mean Mr. Inho.”

“Yes, uncle.”

Lee Mi-na corrected the title, but Kim Seong-ah did not back down.

Each person calls Kang In-ho by his/her nickname. A subtle war of nerves unfolded between the two women.

The one who is curious is the one who wins, so Lee Mi-na stopped the meaningless war of nerves and waited for Kim Seong-ah’s next words.

“The uncle told me. They say they are cursed by God, and every time they die, they are possessed by another being from another world.”

“…In-ho told you that?”

Kim Seong-ah felt a strange sense of victory as ripples appeared on her face of disbelief and a face like a calm lake.

Seongah Kim instinctively knew. That the same person is in his heart and that of the woman in front of him. The other person is sure to guess that too.

A slim, cool-headed beauty who looks like an urban career woman.

Compared to herself, she was secretly intimidated by Lee Mi-na, who had good proportions and was full of adult charm.

However, it was he who knew Kang In-ho’s secret.

Kang In-ho only revealed that important secret to himself.

I felt like I wanted to run away, but I stayed calm on the outside.

“Ma, that’s right. The uncle told me everything. Special only for me. star. Hee.”

He decides to keep the information he obtained by threatening him with a cane a secret.

“Why… why…”

Pressing her temples, Imina tried to calm her unpleasant feelings.

But deep and rough emotions boiled up in my heart.

“Really? Well, you may have seen me as prettier, right?”

Feeling superior, Kim Seong-ah did tea bagging.

“Hehe… So what did you say.”

“Yes?”

“Did you tell everyone about the people you met while traveling?”

“Okay, sure.”

“Then let’s hear it. What did Inho say about me?”

“Why do I have to say that?”

“If you want to do it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t do it. But speaking up will be beneficial to you.”

The shadow behind Imina began to slowly move.

Kim Seong-ah opened her mouth as she thought about the witch’s final moments as she was torn apart.

“Ah, okay. Ma, I will tell you. So, put that away afterwards.”

The woman in front of her is her lover. Kim Seong-ah had no intention of conveying Kang In-ho’s words straight.

[He was a good person.] “He said his personality was not bad.”

[He is passionate about his work.] “He said he only cares about work.”

[I also had a sense of responsibility.] “He said he was persistent in everything.”

[with me? Well, we ate and watched movies.] “We did various things together.”

[If we had known each other more, wouldn’t we have started dating?] “My lover said no. ”

The wind blew on the rooftop.

The wind that blew in late fall was quite chilly.

“That… must be true.”

Imina, who had been silent, spoke.

“Okay, sure. It’s true.”

“I’m going to check with you.”

“Yes?”

“Did you not understand the situation? How am I here?”

A shadow spread out behind Lee Mi-na.

As the shadow grabbed something in the air and pulled with force, the space began to twist and cracks appeared.

“You can move in all dimensions.”

“Now, wait a minute….”

“I have one thing to check when I meet Inho. Did he really say that about me? Why did you tell your secret to someone other than me?”

The eyes filled with the depths of the sea turn even blacker.

“Sister… well… if I go with you…”

Where had the triumphant appearance from earlier gone, and Kim Seong-ah hesitantly tried to approach Lee Mi-na.

“You cannot pass through this passage. Because only selected people can pass.”

Imina extends her hand to block the approach.

A heterogeneous landscape is visible beyond the crack.

You can see a barren land, whether it is a desert or a wasteland.

“Then take care. ‘Magical Girl’. I will send my regards to Gongja Kang.”

“Yes?”

Kim Seong-ah tilted her head at the sudden change in title.

“My words came out in vain. I’ll go to my dad…”

Pressing her temples, Imina corrected her words.

“Dad?”

Seongah Kim tilts her head in the opposite direction.

Lee Mi-na’s eyes are shaking.

……

……

……

“What did I just call Inho?”

Imina muttered blankly.

The headache started to get worse.
