episode_0037

From her magic circle, countless ice crystals are created, which then come together to form a single spear.

A blue energy lingers on the clear, transparent ice, and the surrounding air freezes around the ice.

Blanc, who filled the entire training ground with a shining magic circle, scattered countless spears of ice at his enemies.

The problem was that the enemy was me.

Well, this can be easily prevented.

The total number of magic circles Blanc has cast now is 720.

Ha, you’ve grown in this way too.

The last time I looked, it seemed like it was over with 500 in the pantheon.

Right now, I have 476 spears that I can shoot down by calculating their orbits with the lasers on this tail…

Since there are no computational assistants, the calculations must be done in the most efficient way possible.

I need to create only 476 escape routes.

The most efficient way to break through this magical girl’s barrage of bullets that is made to surround me is…

“Go straight.”

“… ?”

As I passed through the ice window, Blanc was waiting with his sword in hand.

“As expected, I’ve been waiting for you.”

“… !”

Since my body was moving forward, if I stay still like this, I’ll end up getting stabbed by the sword.

The tail is used entirely for defense.

I don’t have time to use this tail to defend myself.

However, there is not enough time to take out the dagger in his bosom.

So, there’s no choice.

Just wrap your body in as much magic as possible and charge forward.

The body wrapped in magic rushes towards Blanc.

With the idea that it’s either all or nothing.

Sigh, I couldn’t help it.

With my speed and mass, I wouldn’t be able to deal much damage to Blanc.

First, avoid Blanc’s sword as much as possible and then charge at Blanc with your body…!

“Ugh… ”

The training ground is covered in dust, blocking visibility.

What is going on now?

First of all, come to your senses…

huh?

“Why are you there?”

“Isn’t that what you’re saying?”

As I was covering Blanc, I ended up falling on top of Blanc who had fallen.

The dagger in my arms…

Huh…?

“Is this what you’re looking for?”

“No, how did you do that…!”

Blanc threw the dagger I was holding far away, and I threw it far away too.

Luckily, I managed to catch my balance before I was pinned against the wall.

“Ha, are you crazy? Throwing people around like objects.”

“No? I’m normal?”

“Haa, haa… ”

“Why. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened?”

“That’s right. Ugh… Nothing has changed. That’s different from before.”

“Why, you really haven’t changed at all.”

“That’s right. Haa… Haa… ”

“Why, is it hard for you? With this much?”

“Unlike you, I haven’t been moving around that much lately… ”

“Then how about we surrender at this point?”

“Not quite there yet. How about you surrender?”

“What are you talking about? If you’re sick, our little one will have a hard time.”

“Are you kidding me? I guess you’re really surprised to see this.”

“Hmm, you probably haven’t seen much of a fight like this.”

“It’s not that big of a battle, is it?”

“It must have been a great stimulus to the children.”

“Then. I can’t help but show Arin an embarrassing side of myself. Shall we end it here?”

“Ah, so you mean you’re going to surrender because if we fight more, you’ll look ugly?”

“No? I mean, I’ll knock you down. As expected, you still don’t understand.”

“What are you talking about? Are you saying you’re going to knock me down?”

“You haven’t grown at all during the time I was away. I saw a chance to win.”

“… What are you talking about?”

“Then, shall we start again?”

“Okay, come in. I’ll take it all.”

“Then.”

It unfolds its tail again.

This time we have to end it in close combat.

In fact, a training ground this size is too small to accommodate our maneuvers.

It needs to be a little bigger than this to be visible from a distance, here.

He charges at her with a rifle.

Using the tail as a leg, the tail is unfolded.

So that I can defend myself like a turret that moves according to her movements.

Blanc dodges all bullets formed by climbing the wall.

Then he takes out another of his wands and aims it at me.

Ha, that’s right.

Blanc also had a gun.

“Vine, surrender!”

“I don’t like it… !”

How difficult it was to attack her while avoiding the barrage of magic bullets pouring down from her…

Because I’m feeling it again with my body.

I feel like my body is boiling. I feel alive again, but

I never wanted to feel again how much mental and physical energy was consumed in each battle…

“Ugh… ”

“It’s hard for you and me, so why don’t we stop now?”

“What are you talking about?”

Blanc, who keeps avoiding annoyingly, blocks the movement with his tail.

I block Blanc’s path and guide him in the direction I want.

And in the guided places, there are traps prepared in advance…

“Okay, you got caught.”

He flies behind her and subdues her.

Subdue her by gently pressing down with your knees so she cannot use her hands.

I think it ended more blandly than I expected.

“The end. Isn’t it?”

“Hahaha… Where are you looking.”

“If it’s like this. Isn’t it the end?”

He points a pistol at the back of her head.

“Tang. Isn’t that the end?”

“Ha, it ended blandly.”

“What were you thinking in the middle of that, that you suddenly fell into a trap?”

“Huh? Oh, what? Secret.”

“Didn’t we bet our wish on this match?”

“Yeah, I didn’t call.”

“Then let’s just say we walked.”

“Where is that?”

“I’m not a villain. I do as I please.”

“Why did you suddenly fall into a trap that you wouldn’t normally fall into?”

“I’ll tell you later. Ow! Vine, it hurts there! ”

“They say you are being held back by the enemy, forcibly disarmed, and threatened.”

“Why. Is it over now?”

“Isn’t that strange? All of a sudden?”

“Really? I don’t know. Congratulations. That’s 855 wins. Now it’s back to the same.”

“Haa… Is that so? I don’t want a boring, dull victory. If you say so.”

“Okay, surrender. I lost. ”

“Then, let’s call Arin. Let’s go home.”

“Okay. Let’s go home.”

It was a truly vain and pointless duel.

Why did you fall into a trap you never thought you would fall into and declare defeat?

Did you do this sparring just to fool me?

No, but I could feel that Blanc was really serious about sparring.

At least I was serious about it until I fell into the final trap.

That means, Blanc saw some external factor or had a psychological change.

As I was thinking about such random thoughts, Blanc said to me.

“Ugh… Rain? It’s a little hard to breathe. Can you come down now?”

Ha, this is ridiculous.

“Have you ever seen a villain listen to a magical girl’s story? Just suffer, magical girl.”

“Haha… Is that so? But it still hurts… ”

“Be quiet.”

I just sat down on top of Blanc.

Sigh, it’s hard.

“Blanc, what on earth are you thinking? I want to tear apart every thought in your brain. It’s so unpredictable.”

“It doesn’t matter because it’s not all bad for you, right?”

Blanc spoke to me with a calm expression even though I was sitting on the floor.

“Don’t think I’ll just let go of this leash and run away.”

“Yeah, there’s no way you would do that.”

“I could shoot you right now and run away.”

“Haha. I see. Right… Oh, I guess you came with Arin.”

While we were talking like that, the training ground door opened and Arin and the others came in.

Well, Arin came to me and asked if I was okay.

“Are you hurt, Unnie?”

“Yes. There are no injuries, but you still feel weak, just like you did earlier. By the way, shouldn’t you be worried about Blanc first?”

“No way! My sister is being pushed around so much, I was worried about what would happen… ”

“Haha… You too, Arin. That wasn’t a delay. Well, my body hasn’t fully recovered yet, so I deliberately conducted the training while looking at the liver… ”

“Even so… Yunseul unnie didn’t get attacked, but Binnie unnie… ”

“I said it’s okay. Arin, please worry about Blanc a little more.”

“Yeah… But, if you sit there like that, looking down on Yunseul unnie… ”

“Ah, that’s about it. I’ve always done this. I’ve done this a lot when I’ve waited for other colleagues to finish their missions and then left. Well, you don’t have to worry about it. It’s sturdy.”

“No, that, that… ”

“Well, it might seem a little uncomfortable. It might seem like I’m humiliating the loser. Okay, let’s go back.”

Yeah, I was thinking it was about time to wake up.

“Arin, you are my colleague. Hehe… Uh, ugh.”

So I got down from above Blanc and lost consciousness while getting up.

* * *

Suddenly, Binnie’s older sister collapsed.

It really happened in an instant.

Until just a moment ago, he was talking to me calmly, with his original expressionless face.

“Sister? Sister! Wake up! Sister!”

I wasn’t the only one who was surprised.

“Vine, are you okay? Vine?”

Yunseul, who was sparring with her older sister just a little while ago.

“Vine! Why did you suddenly collapse! Hey! Vine! ”

Seohyun and Hyewon, who followed me into the training grounds.

Suddenly, my older sister Binnie collapsed.

As the little amethyst in our house broke.

Even though we were only there for a few days, we really felt how much she meant to us.

“Sister! Wake up! Wake up!! Sister!! Sister!!!”
