123 – S2.5. Do Butterflies Dream Of Magical Women -5
A voice that seems to be whispering is heard. Exceptionally clear through the heavy rain.
“Are you going to keep fighting with that body?”
When Lulu looked behind her, a female wearing a cone hat was blinking her eyes. Lulu said, twisting her wet hair.
“Uh, so… You were also one of the Four Heavenly Kings. “What was your name?”
“I am, ‘Eunaris, the Being of Infinite Nothingness’… It’s okay if you don’t call me by my full name. Yunaris is enough.”
“Are you going to fight?”
“… That’s right, but you’re hurt a lot. You might die. If you die… It’s all over. I know you’re from another world. This death won’t be your death. It’ll be hard to reach your dream again. Are you okay?”
Yunaris spoke quietly. Didn’t Lulu really enjoy this world? However, it seemed like he rushed into the fight without any regret or hesitation, so I was curious about that part.
Is it because he likes everything about fighting? Or is there another reason?
Lulu’s answer to that was simple.
“I just… Do what I want to do. “I don’t think too much about it.”
“Don’t you think about it?”
“Yes. My brain is a bit… Bad, but you know one thing, right? The heart doesn’t lie. If you use your head, you’ll only end up lying to yourself. It’s pointless.”
Lulu proudly revealed how he reads the scales of the heart.
“In my heart, I know that I want to protect Oh Hye-in and Oh Dae-su, that I want to continue this dream, and that if I continue like this, I will die. Even though I know this, I am more drawn to risking my life and fighting.”
“….”
“Well, my love for Hye-in and Dae-su was bigger than my survival instinct. So, you can do whatever you want. It’s easy and simple, right?”
“I see. Yes, then. I’m not going on a rampage just because I want to fight this time. Got it.”
Although it was written in crude language, it was said that he would risk his life his to protect his friend his his. Yunaris faked a blank expression using illusion magic and internally laughed. As expected, Lulu and Daesu were married.
If he was going on a rampage without thinking again this time, I was planning on punishing him for what happened last time. And it must have been used as an accessory to ask Roderus a question.
But if only I had such a fresh motivation.
Just as the crazy wizard wanted to give Roderus a chance, Yuna also wanted to give the leader of the Capital Knights a chance. Should I say I am a faint fan?
I guess it could be said that I hope my favorite character does well.
It could be said that I want to create a protagonist.
“I wonder if this is how you play a TRPG.”
“Why have you been muttering since a while ago… Are you giving me a break?”
“Oh sorry.”
She sensed the location of Roderus, the Prince of Lulu. He was running here. Estimated arrival time is approximately 5 minutes. It just worked out well.
Let’s do our mid-boss role properly.
Yunaris slowly raised her head and stretched out her four translucent arms from beneath her conical hat. The glow in her eyes darkened, and purple magic began to gather at the tips of each of her fingers.
Yunaris’ long shadow in the streetlight looked like a giant spider.
“…!!”
“Let’s begin.”
Kwaaang──!!
A purple ray of light crossed the road.
—- —- —- — —-
Ran.
There were flashes of light and explosions everywhere, and people were screaming. There are two points where a large energy response can be felt. A shopping street just below the black whirlpool and a little distance away from it.
People were also able to be detected from the waves of magical power. On the whirlpool side was Oh Hye-in, and on the mall side was Kim Ruru.
Roderus did not have two bodies. He had to choose one, and he chose the commercial street. Well, because it was a little less trustworthy. He thought so himself.
I ran the shortest route possible, climbing over the air conditioner’s outdoor unit and jumping over obstacles. And.
“…!!”
Creepy.I fell flat on my stomach, feeling cold. And a purple ray of light passed by where Roderus was standing. I have dealt with it before. Is it an ‘existence of infinite nihilism’?
Sizzling.
The wall that the rays passed through melted, leaving behind black soot. Even if you have magical power, if you get hit, you will be seriously injured, so if you get hit with a body without magical power, you will die immediately.
Yes, magic attribute.
All Roderus had was a body that had been trained to the extreme.
It would be simple to cook a civilian or a gangster with just that, but in the world of those who use magical power, it is like a teacup in front of a typhoon.
If only there was a transformation device.
If only I could transform into a magic female…!!
Roderus estimated the location based on the angle at which the beam came and moved secretly. He climbed up the villa’s drain pipe, opened the window, entered, and advanced between buildings.
And he reached the battle scene where the magic female and the monster were fighting.
“…Kim Ruru.”
It’s bloody. Roderus clenched his fists, unable to see even with his eyes open. The one who is pushing her is ‘Eunaris’. He was literally playing with Kim Ruru, sending out rays of light in all directions.
Roderus was inside the building. He stuck to the wall near the window and looked out of the corner of his eye, spying outside while hiding himself.
—- —- —- — —-
Yunaris held out her hand to Lulu Kim while she was floating about 30cm in the air.
“I was designed as a wide-range bombardment type. Although my durability is weaker than that of the other Four Heavenly Kings… As you can see, my attack power is strong.”
“…It’s so hot it’s killing me!!”
“So, even with your broken body, you might be able to defeat me. As long as you can reach through the barrage. How about you, magic female? “Can you work up your courage?”
“If you reduce just one ray, I’ll do anything!!”
Shuuu!!
Kwakwang!!
“If you don’t like it, say it!!”
Lulu Kim was pushed to the ground by the aftereffects of the explosion. She had fallen for the first time, and the pain was slowly fading away.
The adjutant said that if she said she wasn’t sick in a situation where anyone could see that she was going to be left behind, she was really on the verge of death.
“IC….”
Still, she couldn’t give up. If they are already dying, they will at least self-destruct and cause damage. When Lulu eats her poisonous heart and turns on her double wick.
“…?”
She saw something strange.
Beyond the window of the building where Yunaris’ back is turned, there is a person fluttering her orange hair. At first, her heart sank as she thought it was Oh Dae-su, but when she took a closer look, she saw that she was not a woman but a man.
His facial features were so similar that I thought he was Oh Dae-su’s cousin. It made me wonder if Oh Dae-su would look like this if he became a man.

Our eyes met. I felt that way.
Roderus opened the window and prepared to jump out. He was holding a golf club in one hand. It seemed like he was planning to just drop down and attack Yunaris.
“…No, hey. That’s a bit dangerous…”
If you shout to warn of danger at a distance where you can’t even talk to yourself, Yunaris will hear you. Before you can jump, you will be swept into dust by the magic cannon.
If so, you should at least attract attention. Lulu forced herself up, coughing up blood. And he echoed with force, as if grinding his vocal cords her her her her.
“Hey, you little guy with weird makeup—!!”
“…Suddenly? Ah.”
Yunaris smiled brightly and gathered all his arms in one direction, concentrating an enormous amount of magical power. So much so that the distance flies by in an instant.
“Come on, come on. You won’t be able to avoid this. I’m going to use all my might to shoot… ! Your defense will be a little more vulnerable, but yes, you won’t be able to teleport!”
“Instead of teleportation, I have telekinesis!! Do it—─!!”
Tuk.
Roderus jumped from three stories high, swinging his entire body weight on a golf club. The blunt weapon he swung without thinking about falling took a curved line and exploded on the defenseless head of Yunaris, who was preparing her magic cannon.
Suddenly.
When his golf club touched his head, Yunaris’ appearance soft and mushy. And became in an instant, it turned into pitch black slime.
“…A person’s appearance is a disguise, is this the real thing?”Weee──!!
The slime staggered while making a strange sound. A round nucleus was visible where the head was. Although it was slight, there was a crack, as if it had been damaged by a previous blow.
Roderus hit the surface of the slime with a golf club, but it did no damage because it was a squishy slime. He was unable to penetrate the surface and hit the core.
“Holy sh*t…!”
The slime seemed to be gradually coming to its senses. The swaying was decreasing, and the light was flashing on the tentacles extending from the surface.
At that time.
“There, take it——!!”
Something flew in a parabola. Roderus jumped from his spot, grabbed the flying object, and landed. When I opened his fist and checked, it was Kim Lulu’s transformation device.
Shall I transform?
No. I know the emergency commands, but it takes a long time to transform. At that time, the slime will come to its senses, and the magic bombardment will come.
There is no time. Then.
Roderus generated just a little bit of the power of the “Fable” And infused it into his transformation device. Damn it! The transformation device was under stress, and cracks began to form on its surface.
Induce. Overload, not functional stoppage. To make it explode.
“It’s a bomb, eat it!!”
Roderus threw the overloaded transformation device at the slime and flew backwards.
Quagwagwang──!!!
Magical light spewed out in all directions, randomly melting surrounding objects regardless of whether they were friendly or not. The slime made a strange noise and boiled and screamed every time the magic light passed by.
A magic fanatic hits the slime’s core directly, and boom! And the slime burst out and lost its shape.
“….”
“….”
There was no movement. Dead.
Throbbing.
Roderus looked at the back of his hand, feeling a stabbing pain. The surface of his skin seemed to have been broken and bleeding. It was a clash of powers that occurred through the use of ‘Fable’.
“….”
Roderus confirmed Yunaris’ death and ran towards Lulu.
—- —- —- — —-
Roderus held Kim Lulu’s hand, which was covered in blood, and examined his wounds. His body was like a rag. It wasn’t strange if he died at any time.
“…Are you okay? Are you conscious? Open your eyes, Ruru Kim!”
“….”
Lulu narrowed her eyes and parted her small lips.
“What are you saying? I can’t hear anything…”
“….”
Roderus brought his ears close. Lulu’s breathing was light, as if she would go out at any moment. She wheezed, barely able to get her words out.
“Who are you?”
“….”
“Who are you?”
“Well, I mean… Oh Dae-su, he’s my cousin.”
Oh Hye-in and Oh Dae-su don’t look alike at all, but they look very similar. Lulu turned her head while thinking that in her mind.
A swirling vortex. Oh Hye-in must still be fighting.
“…Hey, are you some kind of special forces or something? From the third floor⋯⋯ ⋯⋯ ⋯⋯ ⋯⋯ ⋯⋯, he jumped down in a cool way.”
“It’s similar…”
“Well… Soldier, over there. Hye-in is fighting alone. I’m a bit sorry for saying this, Collock… But can you please take a look… ?”
“….”
“No, not…” ”.”
Lulu was laughing while spitting out her blood, and then suddenly. I thought the way she held her hand was strange. Does she usually hold the hand of a woman she’s meeting for the first time?
And, it looks very familiar. Hand sizes are different, but… Something like distribution of power.
Lulu moved her thumb and placed it on Roderus’s thumb. In Oh Dae-su’s case, if it’s like this… She puts her thumb up, as if she doesn’t want to lose.
However, this strange man also did the same.
“…Ah.”
Her her Lulu her brain cells her she did something for the first time in a while. She immediately gained insight into what the questions and answers on the playground meant. Yes, Oh Dae-su was a man.
Yes, yes. It seemed like it would be very difficult. That’s right. Even after shedding her blood like this, his heart beats her. “Hey.”
“…I’m listening.”
“He’s Oh Dae-su’s cousin, so tell him. I like him. So, it’s okay if he’s a guy. I know, Kolok, do you understand?”
“…I heard it. I will deliver it properly, so don’t worry… you low class.”
What kind of concept is that again? Saying strange things with a face that looks like it’s about to cry.
Lulu gasped for breath, and then she knew she would soon wake from her dream. So, she barely squeezed out her lungs to utter her last words. Because you shouldn’t worry for nothing.
“I, too, am from another world. So, I’m not dead. “Do you understand?”
“….”
“Originally, I heard it’s really strong. So…”
Tuk.
The strength left Lulu’s hands her her her.
Roderus stayed like that for a while, getting caught in the rain, then closed Lulu’s eyes and got up. He has to go help Oh Hye-in.
The sky was dyed black, and a large hand came out from beyond the portal, down into the pitch-black vortex.
