I’ll Grind Your Face with Meteor

 

The newly born NEW NEO Kang Ara thought she had nothing to fear anymore.

She had indulged in numerous knowledge-useless-from the gallery and equipped herself with information, and since her physical power was already the strongest on Earth, she believed she would become even more perfect…

“Ara! This. Try this on! No, would this suit you better? Tsk… Oh? Look over there! That baby is super cute. Right? Kyaa-so cute♡”

Reina’s shopping was like.

“Who would our baby resemble if we had one”

Yes. Like when she was first attacked by a life force absorption technique user in the otherworld, her energy was completely drained.

But did she just say-

“Ah! This hat would suit us!! Let’s wear couple hats, Ara. Hih”

I think she just said something sticky and unpleasant…….

Tsk. I was spacing out and missed it. Well… it was probably nothing important.

“Next! Shoes. Let’s go buy shoes too!”

“…Sure… fuck. Let’s buy… f…uck..”

Following Reina, who was trotting ahead with excited steps, with footsteps like trudging through a swamp, Ara thought.

Ah. I want to slice this department store with Kalkal.

Ara missed her Kalkal, which she had left at home, terribly.

.

.

.

.

“…Whew… Reina. Is the shopping over……”

“Wh-What what what?! What are you saying, Ara-ara-ya. Now we’ll go have lunch, and while digesting, we’ll look around some more. The places we haven’t seen properly……(omitted)……”

What?

So.

“…Then we’re going to look around once more…?”

“Yes!!”

Reina said she’d just take one final, ju-ust one last look before going for lunch and temporarily left my side.

It made me wonder if she was cosplaying as someone with no stamina, as her activity level up to now was unreasonable.

‘… Fu-uck. Is this all because the company trained Reina’s stamina… and with the department store too…!!’

While imagining holding Kalkal and slicing not only the department store but also the company gym.

As I stood there with my mouth gaping open, lost in thought about my fate of not being able to escape the department store even after lunch.

“Jane. How does this look? Is it okay?”

“Hmm. It looks good. Krisha, it suits you well.”

A familiar voice. Common names in foreign countries and, in contrast, uncommon peculiar nicknames.

I turned my head jerkily towards the source of the sound where the names Jane and Krisha were heard, and.

I confirmed the appearance of members of the hero party from my time defeating the Demon King in the otherworld.

Saint Christina and Knight Jane.

They were talking while looking at clothes in the apparel store, and I approached them.

“…Fuck, what are you two doing here?”

I spoke as I approached them, but they were so focused on the clothes that they didn’t notice my presence even when I was right beside them.

“Oh. This voice is… Heo!!mmph”

When Jane recognized me and was about to call out ‘Hero’ loudly, I quickly grabbed her mouth with one hand.

“Fuck… there are people around. Don’t embarrassingly call me Hero. Call me Ara. Hoo-anyway, why are you guys here?”

“Her-, I mean, Ara-nim! Well… you see? The reason we’re here……”

The Saint was showing signs of happiness seeing me and was explaining why they were here.

But, for a moment I was so surprised to see them here that I didn’t notice, but.

“How do you two know how to speak Korean-“

Just as I was interrupting the Saint’s explanation to ask about this sudden question.

“Ara~ Let’s go eat lunch now!!”

Reina, who had gone to another store alone, was returning to me.

‘…Fuck. What should I do…’

While I was racking my brain on how to introduce these guys to Reina.

Reina quickly reached our side

“Who are these people? Umm… hello?”

Since Christina and Jane’s appearance was obviously foreign to anyone who looked, Reina greeted them in English.

“Oh… we can speak Korean?”

“Her-, urk!!! We are Ara-nim’s friends!”

I pinched Christina’s waist with my finger when she almost made the mistake of saying Hero.

“..Oh oh, friends. Yes… friends, friends.”

No matter how I thought about it, there was no better cover story than being friends, so I introduced Christina and Jane to Reina as my friends, just as the Saint had said.

“… Ara. Let’s talk for a moment.”

After hearing my answer, Reina’s voice sank, and she grabbed my arm, trying to drag me somewhere.

Though I was curious about Reina’s behavior, I complied willingly.

“Hey. You two stay right here.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

Unlike the charismatic way Ara told them not to go anywhere before leaving, she was pathetically dra-agged away by Reina.

♦♦♦

Two people standing abandoned in front of the apparel store after Ara was dragged away by Reina.

“We finally met Hero-nim, Jane!”

“Yes, that’s right, Krisha. She hasn’t changed at all since we last saw her.”

Jane was happy to meet Hero Ara, but on the other hand, she had a bitter expression.

After meeting Hero Kang Ara, she couldn’t help but think of.

The world she and Krisha had lived in, where they had defeated the Demon King with her and achieved peace.

However.

There was no way to return to where they had lived.

“… Well. I miss that place, but life here isn’t bad either, so it’s okay. Krisha, how about you?”

“Me? Well… I actually find it more comfortable here than when I was in the cathedral. Umm… is it disqualifying as a Saint to say such things? Hm-“

Jane nodded in agreement with Christina’s words, but shook her head at her latter statement.

“Krisha, what disqualification? I’ve never seen anyone as kind as you in my life? Besides… you don’t have to worry about being a Saint anymore, right? This is Earth, after all.”

“…Yes. That’s right. This is. Earth after all…hmph. Thank you, Jane. Hoho-I’m really fortunate to have you by my side.”

Nevertheless, they were satisfied with life on Earth. They might feel nostalgic for the world they originally lived in, but they didn’t want to go back there.

The rules inside the cathedral were strict and rigid, feeling like a suffocating prison.

The titles of Saint and Saint’s guard knight, and being members of the Hero’s party that defeated the Demon King, were not as light as one might think, and having to be mindful of others’ gazes was extremely tiring.

That’s why she and Jane were very satisfied with life on Earth.

‘And now that we’ve found work too… ah… umm…’

Suddenly, the people who would be working with her came to mind.

“But Ara-nim probably thinks only we came here…?”

“…Tsk. Should we tell her about this….?”

Jane pondered deeply at her question.

After all, the Hero’s party wasn’t just composed of the Saint and the Knight.

‘…Haah because of the goddess…shi’

Since the connection between them was now severed, the Saint cursed the goddess inwardly and recalled the memory of the day they were transferred to Earth.

.

.

.

.

[Before coming to Earth]

She was walking towards the dining hall located inside the cathedral to have a meal with Jane, praying that it would be nice to see Hero Ara and the Hero’s party gathered together once more.

However.

Not long after she had prayed inwardly.

Into her mind.

‘Krisha. You’ve suffered a lot on my behalf, so I’ll definitely fulfill your prayer!’ came the voice of the Goddess.

The Goddess seemed unwilling to give her time to respond.

Without a moment’s consultation, divine power overflowing with the Goddess’s authority spread beneath her and Jane’s feet.

‘Goddess? What is this….’

She tried to ask what this was all about.

─ ‘Hoho. Now, don’t worry about this world. It’s become peaceful thanks to you all! Be happy there too!!’

Ignoring her question, with just the Goddess’s satisfied words, the power beneath their feet activated, a white light spread, and.

Nibiru’s power was activated.

.

.

.

“…Ugh..uggh what is this…”

Whether she had fainted after the power activated, she grabbed her dizzy head and stood up.

It was clear that the Goddess had unnecessarily granted her prayer.

Moreover

‘Be happy there too… she says.’

“Uggh… Christina… what in the world is this…”

While she was trying to interpret the Goddess’s words, Jane, who had been unconscious, woke up.

“…Jane. Um… sorry?”

“…Mmm? Suddenly?”

I explained to Jane why this situation had occurred. That I had prayed inwardly out of nostalgia, and the Goddess had granted that prayer.

After hearing my explanation, Jane.

“… It’s okay. It’s fine, so you don’t need to apologize. I don’t mind where I am as long as you’re there, Krisha.”

“…..Jane.”

The two of them locked eyes. Just as they were about to proceed to a deeper emotional exchange.

“Urgh. What the… where is this… huh? Why are Saint-nim and Jane in front of me? I was clearly hunting─”

A casual way of speaking shattered their good atmosphere with a crash.

They simultaneously turned their heads towards the culprit who had blown away the good pink atmosphere.

However, they couldn’t say anything.

“”……””

“What? When someone speaks, you should respond. Ahem. Maybe it’s because I just woke up? Has your throat not loosened up yet? Ahem. Ahem ahem..ahem!!”

That way of speaking. And green hair. And Hero’s party.

When these three things are combined, only one person comes to mind.

But… no… Pollon was definitely…!

“”….Pollon?””

“Ahem ahem!! Why is my voice like this. Oh oh! Finally answering me? But wait a moment, my throat seems a bit strange, so just a moment ahem……”

Why had Pollon, who was an archer in the Hero’s party and a male, become… a woman?

“…Urgh…it’s noisy. Idiot. Do you think your throat will loosen up like that?”

That way of speaking. Even the habit of calling Pollon an idiot.

“..Nibiru, oh my goodness.”

“…Krisha, did you pray for something else too…?”

“Not at all… I just said I wanted to see their faces once… nothing else…”

Even Roilli, who was a magician in the Hero’s party and had the gender of male, had become a woman.

“Idiot? Hmph. That rude way of speaking that hasn’t changed even over time…….Who are you?”

“Indeed, you’re an idiot. Even after seeing me a month ago, you don’t remember me…….Who are you?”

The two people who had been tearing each other down until just now removed the curtain covering them and looked at the face of the other.

“….This voice is the one who just called me an idiot. Pfft─”

“….Why are you suddenly laughing, are you crazy? And, sir. Were you hiding a hobby of cross-dressing? What is that body all about?”

“What? Cross-dressing? Ha─! You’re the crazy one. You’re the one who transformed into a little kid because you wanted to play with young girls, you pedo bastard, and you’re talking to me about cross-dressing! Pfu─”

.

.

.

“”……””

Roilli and Pollon felt something was wrong from the words they were hearing from each other.

“”…. Mirror!!!””

To those… no, those ladies shouting for a mirror, Jane and I quickly found a mirror inside the room and brought it to them.

“Fuck, move aside! I’ll look first─”

“Don’t be absurd. It makes more sense for me, who is older, to look first─”

Two people, well past the age of adults, childishly shouting I’ll go first, I’ll go first.

“Ha─. I really hate myself for praying to see them once more…”

“I know… seeing this makes me want to hate you, Krisha. How could you pray for such a…”

Even Jane was seriously wondering why Krisha had prayed to see such things again.

The two, exhausted from fighting over the mirror, compromised that the winner of rock-paper-scissors would look first.

“No. They could just look together……”

“”Rock! Paper! Scissors!””

Completely ignoring Jane’s words, Pollon and Roilli finally determined who would look in the mirror first.

The result of the match was

Pollon showed rock. Roilli showed paper.

In the end, the right to look in the mirror first was given to Roilli, and as soon as he snatched the mirror from Pollon, he looked at his face reflected in the transparent glass.

“…. Who are you?”

Roilli was still in denial even after looking directly in the mirror.

“You’re being ridiculous. You transformed yourself with magic…….Who are you?”

Disgusted by Roilli’s denial of his own appearance, Pollon approached from behind, cursing, and ended up seeing his own reflection in the mirror Roilli was holding.

“….. It can’t. It can’t be… This body… woman. And even… a young girl… ? Wh-what is happening…!?”

“…Ha fuck, it does feel soft… damn it. Hey, Saint-nim, what’s going on here?”

Roilli denying reality and Pollon touching his chest and asking her what was happening.

She explained slowly to them with the same content she had told Jane.

And after hearing the explanation, their reactions were.

“…. Then…then my magic tower…!”

“Oh my. Did you hear what was just said? The idiot here is you. We can’t go back, you stupid honor student lol”

Roilli was in denial. Pollon just accepted it.

“….Aren’t you bothered? How can you be so calm?”

“Hmph. I’m going to confess to the Hero again with this appearance. If my memory serves me right, the Hero was particularly kind to the Saint and Jane, so to me who has become a woman too……”

No, Pollon was just genuinely an idiot. It’s not normal to be thinking about confessing to Kang Ara even in this situation.

“…Tsk. Come to think of it… I didn’t know an idiot like you could have such a smart thought. I see you in a new light.”

“You’re the real thick-headed one, you pseudo-intellectual. But you won’t succeed, you know? Looking at your appearance, you’re no different from a young girl, so the Hero won’t find you attractive. In contrast, my breasts are bigger than your face, so……”

Meanwhile, Christina, watching Pollon scratching Roilli who had accepted Pollon’s words, instead of joining forces in this unfamiliar world,

felt dizzy seeing the scene and really questioned why she had wished for this.

“….Why did I do that?”

She asked Jane beside her

‘… Huh? Where did Jane go?’

Jane, who had been beside her, was gone.

“Hmph. I’ll grind your face with Meteor. Then when the Hero sees your ugly orc-like appearance, she might vomit, immediately draw her sword, and attack you.”

“Bullshit. Even if my appearance becomes like an orc’s, if she reacts to your body, that’s not a hero but a criminal, you idiot. And if you bring out Meteor, am I just going to stand there? I’ll take out the Sun’s Bow and just─”

Leaving the two causing a complete commotion, she went to find the missing Jane.

“Ah! Jane, what are you reading?”

Opening the door and stepping out, she found Jane focusing on reading something, holding a paper in her hands at a desk located in the spacious living room.

However, even when she asked Jane, there was no response, so she approached closer.

“Jane, what are you reading so intently. Hmm?”

“Nibiru-nim…what is this…haah…Christina, you should read this paper too….”

In response to her question, Jane handed her the paper with a sigh. She took the paper and read it..

[Live happily in Hero Ara’s world! You all deserve it. If you take the pill placed on the desk, you’ll gain knowledge of Earth and the language of Korea, where Ara lives……(omitted). Live well! I’ll miss you all! Hihi. -Goddess Nibiru-]

So far, there’s nothing that would make one sigh… Hmm?

[P.S) As outsiders to Earth by Earth’s standards, your divine power, mana, and special abilities will be unusable! The Earth’s deity only specially permitted Hero Ara. And as for money and such, you all will have to directly ……(omitted)……. Oh! By the way, I changed the magician and archer into women! It’s because Krisha and Jane’s chastity might be in danger! Did I do well? Then live happily!!]

Fuck, Goddess, what are you saying?

“… Oh my! How could I, say such ugly words to the Goddess….Nibiru, I think I was under mental manipulation for a moment. It was not my own will……(prayer)……”

After cursing Nibiru inwardly, the Saint was startled and hurriedly recited a prayer.

“….Meteor! Meteor! Meteor! Why isn’t Meteor coming out?”

Roilli, denying that his mana was gone, was searching for Meteor.

“Sun’s Bow! Respond to my call! Respond!! Respond… please respond!!!”

Pollon, whose weapon was like half of his life, was wailing.

“…Fuck. Earn money…? Sending us here as you please…? And what? With those idiots? Hahahahahahahah”

Jane, laughing bitterly at the thought of being sent here without consent and being told to earn money, while watching Roilli and Pollon acting like idiots in the corner of the room.

Even so.

They were the Hero’s party.

.

.

.

Back to the present, it was now the 9th month since they(?) came to Earth.

10 minutes had passed since Ara was dragged away by the red-haired woman.

“…So when are they coming back?”

“Tsk. How strong is that red-haired woman?”

Christina expressed curiosity about why Ara and company hadn’t returned after 10 minutes,

while Jane was mistakenly imagining how strong the red-haired woman must be to drag away the invincible Hero Kang Ara with just one murderous gaze.
