Chapter 39: See you next time (2)

“Doesn’t that hurt?”

Happy spewed out was extremely bland.

So much so that I thought it was absurdly detached from the spectacle in my field of vision.

Narrowly, the problem was that she ended with the question of, ‘Doesn’t that hurt?’ even after seeing the blood dripping from Yeres’s palm.

Broadly, compared to the blood flowing from the corpses piled up in this room… her blood was only a handful.

“It hurts.”

So Yeres answered that it hurt.

She was actually suffering from the pain of self-harm.

In order to resist the artificially created emotions, blood gushed from the wound that was deeper than before.

“How much does it hurt?”

“So much that I never want to cut again.”

“Really? That’s amazing.”

“What is.”

“I’m curious why Unnie, who is in pain from such a small wound, would bother doing that.”

“Because it’s nothing compared to the abuse I suffered from you.”

“Ah.”

However, she didn’t sympathize with the magical girl whose emotions had been worn down.

As she tried to forget the feeling of love, Yeres’s words were full of hatred.

There was no way Happy, who wouldn’t know that, wouldn’t sigh deeply and lower her head.

It wasn’t because she was hurt by the spitefulness of her beloved.

“Yeres Unnie.”

She was just doing it with the purpose of sorting out her thoughts for a moment.

When she raised her head again, her eyes were thick with madness.

The feeling of loving Yeres had disappeared without a trace.

“I’ve been saying it since two days ago. If Unnie gives up, everyone can have a happy ending, you know?”

But Unnie kept resisting.

Yeres chuckled at the tone of blaming the other person while conveniently omitting her own faults.

“I guess so.”

Then, looking around, she ridiculed Happy.

“If I had loved you, these magical girls wouldn’t have died like this, right?”

“Don’t be sarcastic. It’s a tragedy that happened because of Unnie.”

“What are you talking about?”

The answer wasn’t given through voice.

Happy, with her mouth shut, moved her feet to induce Yeres to see something she couldn’t see.

She thought she would, but Yeres was shocked.

“Alpha!”

On the bed that Happy and I had chosen together last night,

as if to not allow any resistance,

not only was her whole body bound by light magic,

but Alpha, with a gag in her mouth, was sitting.

Alpha’s gaze, trembling as she looked at Yeres, was full of fear.

It was an attitude of regarding Happy, who had destroyed the dark organization Darkmoon and even the magical girl management department, as an object of terror.

“Don’t move.”

Yeres was about to run to Alpha right away, but stopped her footwork at the hot and cool sensation on her neck.

A spear full of light was aimed at her neck.

“That b*tch is mine.”

Paradoxically.

No, it’s too far away to use the expression paradoxical now.

Because she’s a magical girl who loves the Queen of the dark organization Darkmoon.

It was now nothing to cherish the Queen’s subordinate.

However, it definitely didn’t mean she loved her.

“Don’t tell me…”

“Don’t tell me?”

“The magical girls… were trying to kill Alpha… so you killed all the magical girls in reverse?”

“You’re correct.”

For Happy, Alpha was just the reason why Yeres had to come here.

Nothing more, nothing less.

“Why did you do that?”

That was the same for Yeres.

What was important to her wasn’t Alpha’s life, but information that she absolutely had to find out.

Even if Alpha died here, she would be revived again if she went to the 133rd life.

She was confident that she wouldn’t be sad even if Happy killed her precious first subordinate.

“Why are you so desperate to be loved by me?”

“Because the person I love most in this world is Unnie.”

“Don’t lie. You’re just doing this because you want to play with me, right.”

“I’m not?”

That doesn’t mean I’m going to stand by and watch her die.

I’m sorry to Alpha, but while vowing to thoroughly use her in this situation, she tried to somehow take the initiative in the conversation.

“I sincerely love Unnie. But Unnie doesn’t do that for me. I was just being spiteful.”

It was in vain.

At Happy’s answer, Yeres not only couldn’t change the flow of the conversation as she wanted, but repeatedly opened and closed her mouth.

It was that nonsensical of an answer.

This is spiteful?

If she was angry, wouldn’t the world perish?

“So. What about Unnie?”

Happy didn’t wait for the hesitant Yeres.

“Do you still love something other than me?”

The spear that had been aiming at Yeres’s neck disappeared.

Slap

The sound of sticky blood being stepped on each time Happy walked increased the tension.

In contrast to the footsteps that were slowly narrowing the distance, her mouth was constantly pressuring her.

Slap

“Or do you love me?”

Finally, after getting off the floor full of blood

and stepping on the floor soaked with the water that Yeres had brought,

it was Happy who glared with eyes full of madness, as if she would never let go until she got the answer she wanted,

and constantly demanded an answer.

But Yeres wasn’t one to be defeated by just that much.

“I hate you to death.”

After creating a blade and cutting her palm a little more, she opened her mouth and spewed out more hatred than before.

It was a desperate protest to take the initiative in the conversation.

“I knew it.”

Don’t tell me it’s useless this time too.

Happy, who nodded with a nonchalant expression, had already arrived in front of Yeres.

“I knew from the beginning that Unnie was trying to love me by force.”

“If you knew, why did you do that?”

“But you tried to love me anyway.”

“Don’t say weird things.”

It wasn’t.

Happy wasn’t nonchalant at all.

She aimed the spear she had created again at Alpha, in the opposite direction.

Then, after finishing preparing to blow it away at any time, she opened her mouth.

“Weird things? Are these weird things, Unnie?”

An exaggerated trembling could be felt in her voice.

It was a tone full of fear, like Alpha now, like Yeres in the past.

“I hugged Unnie tightly, and even kissed her.”

“Stop it.”

“No, I’m going to keep going. I even took Unnie’s first time. I took it with my own hands!”

“I said stop it!”

Not only could she not take the initiative in the conversation,

but also because it wasn’t the flow she wanted, Yeres’s voice, annoyed, grew louder and louder.

“Why are you saying you hate me now after allowing all of that, Yeres? Is it because of that b*tch?”

Happy was the same.

No, she was worse than Yeres.

She quickly turned around and walked towards Alpha.

“Why do you keep trying to kill Alpha! Don’t do that!”

“Do you think I want to do this? You won’t love me even if I erase everything you love!”

“Then you don’t have to do it!”

“No! I still have to do it! If I erase them one by one like that, Unnie will look at me someday!”

“Do you think that’s possible?”

“How do I know if it’s possible or not! But this is the only way!”

“Don’t be stubborn! Do you think I’ll love you if you do that?!”

“You’re the one being stubborn…! No, just be stubborn, Yeres! Love me even if it’s by force!”

Happy, who had reached Alpha, aimed the spear at her neck.

Yeres, who was only a little more away from piercing it if she reached out her hand, tried to calm her excitement.

“Don’t do that.”

The result of repeating several deep breaths was successful.

The voice that came out when she finally opened her mouth was quite calm.

“It’s what Unnie brought upon herself.”

“What kind of answer do you want from me? I’ll do anything, so please save Alpha.”

“Love me sincerely. If you’re willing to do that, I’ll let you meet that b*tch at least once a month.”

“Once a month?”

“Why? Did you think it would be once every 10 years? I love Unnie, but I’m not so crazy that I’m obsessed?”

But she couldn’t easily continue the conversation.

She clicked her tongue at Happy’s ridiculous answer.

“What is it if what you’ve been doing so far isn’t obsession.”

“It’s because I love Unnie, but Unnie doesn’t love me.”

As a result, she still couldn’t take away the initiative in the conversation.

Until Happy chuckled and threw a question again, Yeres didn’t even open her mouth.

“So what are you going to do now?”

“About what?”

“You changed into the Queen’s outfit, and you’ve gathered a lot of water… I don’t think you’re going to give me the answer I want.”

The spear pierced Alpha’s neck.

It wasn’t a fatal wound, but blood began to drip from her neck, drop by drop.

“Then I can just kill that b*tch, right?”

“Don’t do that.”

“Why should I?”

Yeres, who sensed that she couldn’t drag it out any longer,

in order to visually express that she had given up everything,

got off the floor with water and walked towards the floor full of blood.

Without washing away the fishy liquid with water.

In that way, her outfit gradually began to be stained red.

“I still don’t know who I should love.”

“Between me and that b*tch?”

“No, between you and Hyun-seo.”

Although she didn’t take the initiative in the conversation, the flow she wanted had begun.

Happy sighed deeply at Yeres’s struggle to make her conviction a fact.

“That’s a relief.”

It was a sigh of relief.

“You can just love both of them.”

“I can’t do that.”

“Why do you think so?”

“I think you’re slowly killing Hyun-seo.”

“No. That’s definitely not the case. Rather, Hyun-seo is grateful to me.”

“Why?”

“Hyun-seo has lived a suppressed life so far. She’s grateful to me for gradually solving that.”

“How? Is it because your power and even your personality get stronger each time you awaken?”

“…You know it well. That’s right. But Mother is still hard to deal with.”

I finally found out.

Yeres clenched her fist outside of Happy’s gaze.

Now it’s time to ask a different question.

“Are you that insecure?”

However, the flow of the conversation shouldn’t become awkward.

If Happy noticed that she was conducting a task to extract information… she would immediately kill Alpha and imprison Yeres.

“Wouldn’t Unnie know? What kind of life Hyun-seo has lived.”

“I don’t know well.”

“No, you’re just pretending not to know, but Unnie knows it well.”

Therefore, she tried not to be swayed by such an irrelevant remark.

As naturally as possible.

“Then are you Hyun-seo’s guardian angel or something?”

“If it’s easier to think that way, think that way.”

So that Happy wouldn’t notice

…

…

“But Unnie.”

“Yeah?”

“Why are you asking such things?”

She failed.

Happy pierced the spear aimed at Alpha a little deeper.

Then the amount of blood that had been dripping drop by drop increased.

“Wait a minute!”

“No way. It’s time to choose now.”

Not yet.

There was still a mountain of information to find out.

But, it was a situation where it was difficult to have a conversation any longer.

Happy, who had a tight grip on the initiative, forced Yeres to choose.

“I.”

Then

“I hate you.”

She can turn the tables.

“I hate you so much that I despise myself for even trying to love you for a moment.”

“That’s a relief. There’s even a saying that the first step is half the battle. That’s enough.”

“The first step might end here?”

“How?”

She created a blade and aimed it at her own neck.

Then, for the first time, she threatened Happy.

“Release me and Alpha.”

“Unnie.”

“Or I’ll die.”

“Yeres Unnie.”

“Choose, Happy.”

Did she develop a habit of repaying what Happy had said?

Yeres was confident that Happy would be flustered by her bold choice.

Because she loves me.

Because she doesn’t want me to die.

Of course, she thought she would.

“If you can.”

But

“Try it.”

Happy didn’t do that.

Still glaring at Yeres with an expression full of anger,

she gripped the spear aimed at Alpha’s neck even more firmly.
