Ragnarok, mobilizing magical girls from around the world, launched a sudden attack on headquarters and branches in each region.

After neutralizing the armed personnel inside Eden, they even used special forces to eradicate the remnants.

It was a meticulously planned operation to ensure that no organization of such immense evil would ever appear again, even trampling on the sprouts of new growth.

And the golden-haired girl shining brighter than the full moon in the sky desired this operation so much.

To somehow bring down the towering Eden, unaware of its high place in the sky, and eradicate the demon who broke her sister’s shining wings like weeds.

The final piece of her grand revenge.

The mission of the girl, Citrus, was the Eden headquarters. Disabling the main gate of the deepest part, the tendrils of darkness, Vene.

A team consisting of only 20 elite members. She was one of them.

Truly, it was difficult to describe with words like exhausting, no, it was beyond that.

At the end of a brutal, yes, brutal battle.

They successfully brought down Vene, who piled up the towering, endless darkness.

Finally, she thought she had finished the desperate revenge she had only dreamed of.

Attacked by Vene, now a unwelcome guest appeared at the dormitory while she was away helping her sister, who now runs a bakery.

If you look closely, it was more horrifying than an unwelcome guest.

Because there was something that should not have been seen.

The only changes were slightly shorter hair, a smaller build, and a shabby outfit never seen before.

However, her emotionless face remained the same, and her shining amethyst, though faint, still retained its color, shining proudly.

Why was she confidently present in our precious sanctuary, overflowing with such hatred?

There was no one to stop the rising anger.

Well, fortunately, after hearing Yoon-seul’s explanation, she was able to somewhat calm the situation, but how will she deal with the unresolved hatred?

The scars of violence she inflicted on her sister still haven’t healed and are eating away at her life.

Yes, as Yoon-seul said. Take her to her sister.

Let her handle her as she pleases.

If her sister wishes for her to experience the same pain as Vene.

She will immediately return the favor, she said.

***

Embracing Blanc, she flew to this place, just an ordinary apartment in Seoul.

It wasn’t old, nor was it narrow.

For a magical girl like Citrus, the government subsidies must be quite substantial.

It’s questionable why this house is her hometown, but for now, it is what it is.

Yeon-yang, now here, felt a bit awkward, but she looked like a blonde troublemaker when they first met.

Every time she saw that woman, she felt tired.

Even in Eden, her speed, though slower than her sister’s, was exhausting.

And now, what is this? With a wound on her neck, she was brought to her own home.

Surely she’s not still caught up in that revenge from the Eden days, right?

Back then, they were aiming for each other’s throats, so if they’re still holding onto that and hurting each other, it’s a bit disappointing.

Shouldn’t they have become adults who can distinguish between work and personal matters?

Hmm, I still don’t know…

Entering through the open door, it was an ordinary but somewhat special house of hers.

There were no door frames in any of the rooms, and there were slight rubber marks left on the floor, a house like that.

“Here, this is the room where my sister is. It’s her day off today, so she’s probably sleeping. I’ll bring her out.”

“If she’s sleeping…? Then I’ll wait outside without waking her up until she wakes up. We have plenty of time.”

“No, she’ll understand. Just wait a moment.”

“Hyewon!”

It seems Blanc’s voice calling for the girl who had already stealthily entered the room didn’t reach her.

Finally, after some commotion and creaking sounds coming from the room, the door opened again.

Yes, there was a person standing in front of me after a long time.

“A guest, who, huh?!”

“Sister, I told you I would surprise you.”

“Why is Vina here in our house…?”

“It’s been a long time. Citrus.”

“Oh, really…? It’s been a while. Truly.”

“Sister, it’s her. Vina, who trampled on the dream you wanted so badly. I brought her here. I’ll do as you wish.”

“Heywon, you say as if I want something. We haven’t even talked yet. Vina, why are you here? And surrounded by these two. Are you here to break something? Ugh… really.”

“No, that’s not it. Don’t you know too? This here, on your neck, is your sister’s achievement. Your sister is truly amazing.”

“Wow, amazing. I heard that you faced 20 people similar to Heywon and said you would take them all on alone. And you did it.”

“Anyway, I didn’t lose. You can praise your sister more.”

“Oh, I’ve already praised her a lot, so don’t worry. So, why are you here? The dwarf bushes?”

“Oh, really. It wasn’t much different back then. Is that what you’re saying? Hmm, maybe it would be faster to ask Blanc here.”

“Is that so? Okay, Yoonseul. How did you manage to bring her here? Your back still hurts when you see a child.”

“Sister, are you really okay? It’s Vina. But how can you be so calm…”

“Heywon, calm down. Are you too excited? We need to listen to what Yoonseul has to say.”

“Sister!”

“Heywon, calm down.”

“Sigh…”

“Okay, Yoonseul. Can you explain?”

“Yes. It might be a bit long. Is that okay?”

“Yes, I can listen to Yoonseul’s voice for 10 hours without getting tired. Well, maybe I’ll get tired by then?”

And so, Blanc calmly and solemnly explained the reason for being here, the reason I was here, all with dry humor that was not funny at all.

Really, everything was told.

From Geumyang to the story she told when she came back.

After listening to the whole story, she asked her sister again in a calm voice after organizing it a bit.

“Heywon, what do you want to do?”

“Me? I leave it to my sister’s decision…”

“Really?”

“Yes, because my sister is the victim. My sister suffered. So, let my sister decide.”

“Hmm. Vina, what about you?”

“Me? It doesn’t matter to me. Even if you tell me to cut my throat right now, it’s a situation where I don’t know if I’ll die or not.”

“So, you want me to decide too? Really, they’re still babies.”

“Sister! I’m not a baby!”

“Okay, Heywon is not a baby. Okay… What punishment suits the cute villain who cut off my leg…?”

“Heyin sister, have you made your choice?”

“Yes, there’s something just right.”

“Sister, is it to return your pain? Is that it, sister?”

After calming her down again, she asked me quietly.

“Um, Vina.”

“Yes. What is it?”

“Do you remember back then?”

“Um, when you say back then. The park 9 years ago, right?”

“Yes. It was quite intense, probably?”

“Yes. Well, looking back now, it was just kids playing.”

“Um, just that? I’m a little disappointed. Even if you didn’t get hurt back then. Wouldn’t you have become stronger as Magical Girl Blanc?”

“No, Blanc’s combat power increased at an exponential rate, a unique case. It was probably tough for me to keep up. It was really tough.”

“I see… Well, our Yoonseul is quite amazing. Surpassing me, who was a senior in no time. Look at that. She grew up so well because of you.”

“Maybe it’s because you taught her well.”

“Maybe… Well, our Yoonseul is quite amazing. Surpassing me, who was a senior in no time. Look at that. She grew up so well because of you.”

“Oh, this is the first time I’ve received praise from the enemy. Even the owner of the bakery across the street hasn’t heard of it.”

“I also struggled a bit. It was tough, you know. It was difficult to aim quickly.”

“Haha, but in the end, I hit the mark, right?”

“You hit the mark, didn’t you? You hit me.”

“Yeah, I hit you. Haha, but I didn’t want to lose a precious junior.”

“Well, even if Blanc had hit me, I wouldn’t have died.”

“No, it was quite fatal. With all the defense walls gone, if that attack had hit, it would have been a direct hit to the vitals.”

“But still, I protected my junior, so I’m satisfied. Even if I’ve become a sitting duck. We won because I protected my junior. Isn’t that right?”

“Well, you can see it that way.”

“Yeah, you can see it that way. Running, well, it’s not something I have to do. Losing a junior hurts more.”

“Sister! But, but the track and field event you wanted so badly, huh? The Olympics you aimed for!! What about that!!”

“Hyewon. Are you listening to me?”

“But!! Sister, back then. Back then, with those sad eyes…”

“Hyewon. Oh, really… why are you crying. Yeah. It’s nothing. It’s just something from when we were young. That’s how it is when you’re young.”

“Looking back now, sitting here running a bakery isn’t so bad. Actually, it’s enjoyable to see my customers enjoying delicious bread and coffee.”

“Running, yeah. It’s a shame I can’t do it. But is it really so disappointing that it could kill a person? It’s not that serious. Hyewon. Right?”

Her crying sister asked.

“Sister, then what is my goal? Huh? It was for you. I became a magical girl for you… sniff.”

“Hyewon, that was already over when we caught Vinnie, right? And even after that, our Hyewon worked hard, didn’t she? Why did she do that?”

“That, that is…”

“See, the truth is, that might not have been your goal. Your life should be lived for yourself, not for me. Right?”

“Sister… sniff…”

“So, what are you going to do, sister.”

“Are you talking about Vinnie? I…”

A compassionate smile, embracing her sister warmly, answers the question.

In a warm voice.
