NOVEL NEXT chapter 56
56 – 21. Tag: Mind control -4
Okay, then what should we do now?
“Noah.”
“Yes, master.”
“Can I let you go now?”
“No.”
To escape from the clutches of this evil Noah.
“Noah, isn’t it hot? It’s been really hot lately.”
“I turned on the air conditioner.”
“Oh, no. If you use electricity like that. If you waste it like that, the world will be ruined.”
“If I can’t have my master by my side, it might be better that way.”
Noah seemed to have no intention of releasing me.
I lay there feeling like a ship tied to an anchor.
The anchor called Noah bound me tightly. There is no way to escape…There is.
I quietly hugged Noah with resignation.
“Are you okay?”
“…Yes, it’s good. That…”
“Huh?”
“Can you hug me a little harder… Until it takes my breath away?”
“…”
“Are you in too much trouble?”
What should I do? Seeing Noah’s tearful expression weakens her heart.
Guilt for doing something I shouldn’t have done, sorry for making Noah cry. The two emotions mix together and make her head hurt.
I don’t know anymore.
“Oh…”
When his wish was granted, Noah exhaled happily. Noah’s small body bursts into my arms.
I feel like my energy is being sucked into his body.
“hehehe…”
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, it’s warm…”
…Yes, they even hypnotize you and make you suffer, so this should be enough.
I gently rubbed Noah’s back.
“Go to sleep quickly.”
“Umm…”
Noah looked tired.
It has to be that way. Because it was such a mess all morning.
Children need a lot of sleep to grow well, right? Noah still has a long time left to grow up, so now we have to force him to sleep.
A suitably warm blanket, and an appropriately dry and cool blanket outside. Noah seemed to be falling asleep thanks to the luxury of covering himself with a blanket and turning on the air conditioner.
The bed, which was much softer than the gosiwon bed, probably also played a role.
Noah let out a sleepy voice.
“Master…”
“Huh?”
“Where… Aren’t you going?”
Noah approached me, speaking as if pleading. Even then I couldn’t find anything to say.
“Don’t go anywhere. Stay with me.”
“…”
“Because I don’t like being lonely.”
It was a moist voice. Really, you’re quick-witted. How did he know her intention to run away when she fell asleep?
Noah buried her face and muttered.
“Please continue to be with us…”
“…”
“If my master disappears… I will become sad.”
At the same time, seeing her shed a few tears made me feel quite lonely.
You were with me every day, but was that not enough?
She stroked Noah’s head, who had already fallen asleep, and used her sleep talk as background music.
“Umm…”
“…”
“…Oppa…”
“…”
She is looking for me even in her sleep. Noah looked relaxed as he stroked her head.
As she looked at the guy’s expression, she drank a glass of water.
‘Don’t go anywhere…’
Well, if I could, I would do it as much as I want. In order to do that, we must survive the battle ahead.
‘…Can I survive?’
I remembered.
The day of great disaster will come soon. The day when everyone might die.
+++++
This game has two big boss battles.
One is, of course, to defeat the final boss of this game, the Demon King, Rudere.
And another boss is Lust.
This guy is the mid-boss of this work. The monster that appears at the end of summer vacation is completely different from the previous monsters.
‘I was very surprised when I first saw it.’
If I were to describe him, he would be a huge piece of meat. The chaos of seeing people as mere objects of pleasure.
If you are defeated by this guy, not only the magical girls but also a city will be completely cocooned and become his nest.
Men use nutrients, women use egg sacs.
In the process, what kind of ending will the magical girls who will become powerful mothers meet? It probably doesn’t need to be said.
Iris, in particular, becomes even more terrifying.
You become unable to lose consciousness and experience vivid pain.
And above all.
‘…Summer vacation is just around the corner.’
Summer vacation is just around the corner. Isn’t it especially a short vacation?
The emergence of Rust will be imminent.
Soon, he will appear at some point and use a city as his stage, and the heroes will conduct large-scale raids.
I wasn’t this nervous even when I was fighting Iris. A cold sweat broke out as I remembered Rust’s horrible sight.
‘It would be difficult for me to be by your side.’
Rust attacks very broadly. If you’re running around here and there, it’s hard to stick close to Iris.
I will be included in Rust’s attack target, and he will also have to avoid heroes.
“…Ugh.”
‘Why are you sighing like this?’
‘Kkeun, are you okay?’
Kkomulgi and Kkkyun, who were playing happily under the bed, crawl out.
‘We get along well.’
‘Yes, you are a person who can communicate better than I thought.’
‘Wow, Mr. Kkomul is a fun person.’
‘You’re not talking about me behind my back, are you?’
‘No.’
‘That can’t be right.’
They both shake their heads at the same time.
…It’s not real, is it? I looked at him with suspicion. The guys nodded as quickly as they could, as if it really wasn’t true.
At that time, Noah twitched her body.
It seemed like the rustling sound was annoying.
“Ugh…Don’t go…Oppa don’t go…”
“Noah, you’re here.”
“Don’t go…It’s cold…”
“Don’t worry. I won’t go anywhere.”
I petted Noah and made him fall asleep again.
I felt eyes on my back.
The two mascots were putting their all into acting as if they were determined to cause trouble.
‘Mr. Kyuong… I’m so cold…’
‘Kyu…Don’t worry…I’m not going anywhere-‘
‘Go and sleep. ‘I’m starting to crave chicken and raw fish.’
‘Hi!?’
‘Kyuu!?”
I chased the two scared guys away and looked at Noah once again.
The guy was sleeping without knowing anything about the world. He looked like a fairy perched on a cloud.
“Ugh…hehehe…Oppa…”
“I wonder what I’m dreaming about…”
When I pressed his mochi-like cheek, he made a roaring sound.
‘It’s soft.’
I stopped because I felt like I would break if I continued, but it is addictive and soft.
“Noah. Let’s survive together.”
I patted Noah’s small back over and over again.
Until a dream tempts me and takes me away.
+++++
“Master, where are you going?”
Crackling. Noah stopped chopping meat and looked back at me.
I spoke honestly.
“To deal with magical girls.”
“Did they invade?”
“No, I’m just going to meet you.”
Noah’s worried eyes turn to me.
“Are you okay? If I don’t go…”
“It’s okay, I won’t die.”
“Oh…”
“Uh…”
After saying that line, I smiled awkwardly.
“It’s true. Do you think I’ll be defeated by them?”
Noah shook her head.
“So don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”
I stroked Noah’s head. The guy seemed to be still anxious, so he held my hand tightly and asked me a question.
“…Do you have to come back safely?”
“Oh my, if anyone sees me, they’ll think I’m going to die.”
“Okay…”
“Don’t worry. I’ll come back.”
“Be careful. I’ll prepare something delicious for you, so you have to come back, okay?”
“I understand. Then I’ll go.”
After leaving the dorm, I waited in a tall building.
I think it’s probably time to come.
“Kraken!”
Well, punctuality and accuracy.
“Give Iris back quickly!”
I turned around when I heard a familiar voice. Black Heart was standing there.
“Did you come alone?”
“Stella and Natalia are still recuperating.”
“Well, I hope you get well.”
Black Heart made a dumbfounded expression. Well, if the perpetrator said this, anyone would do that.
The guy took out a black sword as if he had nothing more to say. The force of black magic flowing along the blade is ferocious.
“Oh, are you planning on dealing with me alone?”
“There is no Iris, no Stella, no Natalia. But.”
Growing.
A spark shines in Blackheart’s eyes.
“But that doesn’t mean you can’t just leave the unpleasant villain alone, right?”
“…I see.”
I cried out in joy. That’s how it should be. If it’s Black Heart, it should come out like this.
I was wondering if they might get scared and give up, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything to worry about.
Especially.
“Black Heart!”
“Let’s fight together!”
“Sisters…?”
Even more so when I see that figure.
“I have to save my friend.”
“You can’t let the youngest fight alone, right?”
“Sisters…! Yes, let’s do it together!”
This is a scene where magical girls work together to save their friend.
“That’s great.”
But this is not a fairy tale. There is no such thing as a fairytale story about a sudden surge of tremendous power and defeating a villain.
If you want to defeat the villain, if you want to protect your precious things. In the end, the only way is to become stronger.
“Good! Then, let’s give it a try!”
“””…”””
“Here, I will celebrate your blood with your blood!”
In order to do that, you need to practice consistently on a daily basis.
“Go for it, you weak ones!”
I also plan to take the training seriously. That is ultimately the way to defeat the villain and protect what is precious.
And above all.
To survive again and again and return to where Noah is waiting.
“Ha…The uncle is here…”
“Are you here?”
“Aww…You’re tired…Noah, you can get some rest-“
“Then…Master. Do you want to take a shower? Eat first? If not…Here-“
“Okay, that’s it. I’m going to lie down.”
If this happens every time I come, my heart will break a little.
…A month passed by, tiring both physically and mentally.
