The Person Who Should Be By His Side – 4

[Even if the appearance changes, the look in your eyes towards me hasn’t changed. Anyway, how long are you going to make me reach out my hand?]

You wouldn’t know how many memories I have to fight every time I cross a world, would you?

Are you trying to brag about recognizing him like a destined partner?

I followed him across countless dimensions. And I maintained my existence while doing so.

Aren’t I more amazing?

[As expected, Saint is benevolent. To call out to me so kindly, even though I failed to save Saint.]

You couldn’t even protect him, yet you’re trying to gain sympathy.

You couldn’t protect him at the crucial moment, and you didn’t kill everyone in front of that execution ground.

You only took revenge belatedly, and now you’re seeking affection? Hypocrite!

[Protecting one’s husband is the wife’s duty. Unrelated guests, please rest for a moment.]

You ended up letting him die, and you deceived him…

[Me too. I didn’t exactly come over here with a plan.]

You’ve only crossed one world. I also tried. No! It was harder for me.

[It’s been a while.]

It’s been a while? Shouldn’t it have been longer for me?

You’re just an empty can without a soul. You’re just imitating human affection. Why are you approaching him with that face?

I tried. I really lived kindly.

According to the established rules, without harming anyone, I thought I lived really kindly.

Why is the result my unhappiness?

But why, only me… why only me… am I unhappy? Why are happy people predetermined?

Don’t approach him. I should have him. I should be by his side.

It’s my goal that I was salvaged from the endlessly burning hell and chased across countless dimensions.

It’s compensation for my original love that I’ve now forgotten.

Don’t take him away. I can get what I want at least once, right? I’ve always yielded.

My time always went to my family. The money I earned also went to my family.

If I ever got a bonus, they knew it like ghosts and took it all away.

The cost of the liquor my boastful father drank.

The living expenses my unmotivated mother begged for.

The money for my sibling’s ever-changing dreams.

This was all the burden I carried.

Anyone can see that I’m pitiful. Anyone can see that I’m pathetic.

If there is a god, they should compensate me at least once.

But why… do I always have to be on the periphery? Why do I always have to be a witness?

I’m right, aren’t I? Anyone can see that it’s unfair.

But why, are only you guys trying to be happy? Why are you trying to be happy without me?

But… who is ‘I’ here?

Who am I? Surely, I existed.

Uh… what is it? I can’t remember. What was I?

Ah… I’m kind of hungry. I feel a bit empty inside.

Is there anywhere to grab a quick bite?

While the other women were bickering and setting up a confrontation, the black figure lying on the ground began to move little by little.

It slithered like a snake, sweeping across the ground, and where it passed, black byproducts remained thickly like asphalt coal tar, leaving their traces.

The prey was getting closer and closer. Her empty eyes gauged the size of the prey.

A giant on the prairie.

“You, you….”

The giant’s tenacious life force barely kept the giant breathing despite the fatal wounds.

The creature named Alpha took rough breaths in succession, staring at the woman in front of him.

Their eyes met, and Alpha used his ability to see through Lee Mina’s inner self.

“You, no way….”

“……”

Uncomfortable pupils, the chilling weight of the air, a moment of silence.

Several arms extending from her back began to tear at the giant.

“Kuh, hic… Kua….”

“To get rid of those things.”

A voice full of noise popped out of Lee Mina’s mouth.

“I need stronger power, a stronger soul.”

Even in the pain of being eaten alive, Alpha couldn’t close his eyes.

He faced the thousands of eyes covering Lee Mina’s body and sensed his futile end.

“Per, fect mortal….”

He wanted to move his hands and resist, but he didn’t have the power to escape death, as his head had already been pierced.

Alpha’s consciousness was momentarily cut off as he felt his parts being torn off little by little.

“Husband, you were carrying something rougher than I thought on your tail.”

When the woman who acted like a lone wolf turned her attention to her, Lee Mina gave a deep smile.

Perhaps no one could recognize it as a smile, but she was definitely smiling.

As the giant’s corpse was eaten and disappeared into the shadows, her vision began to rise higher and higher.

Little by little, she looks down on the things on the ground. She felt good about the vitality she felt for the first time in a long time.

Fullness and fulfillment.

Positive sensations made her move her body.

“Should I call that a human….”

The Magical Girl muttered, looking up at ‘something’ that could no longer be called Lee Mina.

She swallowed hard and put strength into her trembling hand.

She adjusted her posture, firmly grasped her spear, and thrust it forward.

It wasn’t just the pressure from the size that made her waver. The Magical Girl had a history of easily defeating things bigger than that.

“It is quite… an ominous presence.”

Golden eyes flashed and pierced through the opponent. Chunhyang guarded, rubbing her goosebump-covered arms.

Did they feel their gaze? The giant being turned its head towards them.

The first Jang tribe and the Magical Girl anticipated the upcoming battle and prepared their minds.

“Don’t say you’re going to go alone. I know you’re strong, but you can’t handle that alone, right? Even if you can handle it, it might end faster if I join in. You agree that if something that dangerous is running around, you can’t guarantee Ahjussi’s safety, right?”

Kim Sung-ah said, feeling Chunhyang’s gaze.

Chunhyang scanned Kim Sung-ah up and down.

“Unlike your body, your thoughts are ripe.”

Even in the face of an unknown being, Chunhyang smiled.

“What does that…? Ah! You just dissed me, didn’t you? Right?”

The Magical Girl, who belatedly understood Chunhyang’s words, tried to grab Chunhyang, but she was already running forward and shooting an arrow.

The battle began as a thick arrow shot from a giant longbow pierced the enemy’s eye.
