The Weakest Among the Four Heavenly Kings – 2

Lyrical Star was reminded of an illustration she had seen in a textbook sometime ago.

[Excuse me, do you know the way to the post office?]

[Yeah, I know.]

It wasn’t just her who thought that the situation in that nonsensical illustration and the present overlapped quite a bit.

As if threatening a wild beast with a spear, Lyrical Star thrust her staff further forward.

“That’s not what I asked!”

She briefly suspected that this wicked executive of evil might be attacking her in a different way.

By frustrating her to the point of explosion.

“Then what is it!”

Normally, she would have dismissed it as a far-fetched idea, but Persona’s gaze, staring at her with wide eyes, lent weight to her hypothesis.

“Mystical Star’s Power!”

As Lyrical Star chanted, the tip of the staff, protruding like a spear, glowed purple.

A small purple bead grew, turning into a long string that flew towards Persona.

The string quickly wrapped around Persona’s wrist, tightening firmly as if a snake were hunting its prey.

Persona winced and screamed as the string dug into his wrist.

“Aaaagh! There’s a cosplay pervert kidnapping people here!!!”

“Sh, shut up!!”

In the end, she had to summon another string to block his mouth.

Lyrical Star grabbed the nape of the neck of Persona, whose hands and mouth were tied, and soared into the sky.

She should have done that from the start…

She thought to herself.

If anyone asked what the advantage of flight ability was, she would answer that she didn’t have to experience things like traffic jams.

Like a seal in the sea, she swam through the empty sky.

The sky, a far cry from the ground, was a feast for the eyes with flowerbeds embroidered with colorful lights.

Persona’s struggles during the flight also ceased.

“……”

Lyrical Star glanced back at him.

The face she saw for the first time was unfamiliar, but she could not forget his eyes. It was because she had always seen them through the gaps in his mask.

Those eyes, once filled with anger and hostility, now contained admiration.

Had he been moved by the beauty of nature created by civilization?

The evil aura he always emitted, and the Killing intent to kill her, were nowhere to be felt.

She sighed softly. She belatedly wondered if she was taking him away without a plan.

No, it’s right to take him away for now.

The restraints are secure, so there won’t be any problems.

She reassured herself and increased her speed.

As the wind hitting her face grew stronger, Persona, grabbed by the nape of his neck, struggled again.

The Magical Girl’s landing spot was her house. It was a detached house, a rare sight in a city full of apartments.

Stones were laid on the path from the gate to the front door, and weeds were messily asserting themselves between the stones.

Opening the front door, she turned on every switch and dragged him into the kitchen.

She sat him at the table, and the Magical Girl sat opposite him.

When she, still in her flowing Magical Girl outfit, took out her staff again, Persona’s eyes widened.

‘What the hell is she going to do now!’

He seemed to be saying.

“Libra.”

As she chanted, a green light emanated with a buzzing sound.

The bound man squeezed his eyes shut as if he were being subjected to something nasty.

As if scanning a person, the light swept up and down the man sitting in the chair.

After reciprocating a few times, the light disappeared, and Lyrical Star’s face hardened even more.

It was as if her head had become more complicated with the unwanted result.

Lyrical Star leaned forward with a stiff face.

“Promise me. You’ll be quiet.”

She pointed her staff like a gun.

The man thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.

“You promised?”

She asked one more time to confirm.

Nod, nod.

As if she was really going to release him, the man nodded vigorously.

“Okay….”

As she snapped her fingers, the string that had been blocking his hands and mouth fluttered into the staff.

“……”

The man rubbed his numb wrist and sized her up.

“Your name is Kang In-ho, right? Was Persona an alias?”

Lyrical Star asked what she was curious about.

She intended to gain information by talking like this.

She had confirmed that the evil aura had disappeared from him with the power of Libra.

She didn’t know why he had become like an ordinary person, but she could get information about the enemy from him.

Maybe she could find out the weaknesses of the remaining Four Heavenly Kings.

However, she knew all too well that things in the world don’t go as you want.

And that realization did not disappoint her this time either.

“Help! It’s a cosplay serial kidnapper!!!”

As the man backflipped, knocking over the chair, and ran towards the front door, she had no choice but to pick up her staff.

Pew, pew.

The bullets fired with magic power pierced the man’s back, and his body stiffened like a criminal hit by a taser gun, and he collapsed.

“Ah… I want to quit everything.”

That was the Magical Girl’s sincere feeling without a hint of falsehood.
