315 – EP.11 The End of a Long Puberty-7
***
“Ho… That’s great?”
The witch was truly impressed.
It is said that it was an attack she made with all her might, but it was because she had no idea that a persona on the verge of death would receive it.
“But what happens next? Will my pitiful human body be able to block my next attack?”
What the witch said was correct.
Kang In-ho’s body, tattered like a rag, was shaking as she blocked her fist with her body.
It seemed like it would just go away if she tapped it with her finger.
“If this goes on… Rider.”
I memorized the spell for transformation, but the mask did not appear.
“What is such an old-fashioned spell? Could it be a transformation spell? Ah~ What happened while you were gone? I’m so curious?”
The witch heard his transformation spell and laughed.
“Are you curious…?”
The voice he managed to squeeze out was a fading voice, like a dying flame of life.
Slap, the witch slapped his cheek.
“Wouldn’t it be better to watch your mouth?”
Her huge fist opened and grabbed him.
He spat out dark red blood from the pressure that was squeezing her body.
“Do you have anything more to show me? I was looking forward to it because you seemed to have gotten stronger… But I’m disappointed at this level?”
The witch laughed as she saw Kang In-ho bleeding profusely.
The witch’s eyes narrowed at the sight of Kang In-ho lowering his head while being held by a huge hand.
“What, did you faint?”
The witch snorted as if she had let out steam and approached him.
The sun set and the moon began to rise.
The stars in the sky, hidden by the light of the sun, were gradually revealing themselves.
“…….”
He lowers his head and mutters something softly.
“What are you saying?”
The witch grinned and got closer, wondering if she was trying to use a secret trick.
No matter what method was used, it wouldn’t work for me, that’s what she wanted to say.
When she got close enough to hear his breathing, the witch felt ‘hot’.
“…?”
Before the witch knew it, a huge explosion occurred.
***
When the last and final exam was over, the students came out to the school gate.
The sun has already set and it has been dark for a long time.
The fresh-faced students were embraced by their families waiting for them at the school gate, ending their three-year arduous journey.
Some of them laughed, others cried, relieving the emotions that had built up over the years.
Seeing the family’s strong emotional exchange, Seongah Kim trudged out of the school gate.
She looked around, but there was no sign of the man who would be waiting for her.
“I think the fight is over.”
The fierce clash of forces stopped a while ago.
It may be that he hasn’t returned here yet.
She looked up at the sky.
“…!!”
Light fell in the sky. It was a star.
As the sun was setting in the sky, scattered clusters of light decorated the evening.
If one had seen that soft light, even a person who had lost dreams and hopes would have admired the beauty of nature.
Shattered light decorates the sky.
It was truly beautiful.
And for some reason she cried.
The anxiety that I had suppressed throughout the exam suddenly surges.
In the midst of people, Kim Seong-ah soared into the sky.
Leaving a trail like a comet, she flew to where the stars were falling.
She had already completed her transformation and arrived at the rooftop of a building.
“…Uncle?”
There she saw Kang In-ho’s figure stretched out in the shape of a large character.
Thud, my heart dropped.
“Mister!”
I run to him panting.
My heart is beating fast. Blood dries all over the body.
“Mister!”
Kim Seong-ah sat next to Kang In-ho and shook his body.
“Why!”
As he stood up in his usual voice, Kim Seong-ah quickly glanced at his appearance.
There seemed to be no trauma.
“Are you okay?”
“Well, I had a hard time… But I won for now. The opponent was a bit tough.”
“Who on earth was it? Did you fight the Four Heavenly Kings?”
“We eliminated the Four Heavenly Kings, and we also fought the witch.”
“What? A witch?”
The magic girl’s eyes opened brightly.
And then he gropes his body. This is because he could not believe that he came back safely after meeting the witch.
“Hey, you’re groping me secretly. Take your hands off me. If you don’t, I’ll report you for s*xual harassment.”
Just as she was about to scan his body with magic, Kang In-ho slightly pushed her body.
“…Are you hurt?”
“Yes, it’s okay. But I missed the witch.”
“If you say she was missed, does that mean she was a witch who ran away?”
“That’s right. He was so surprised by my strength that he ran away.”
“Mister, I’m not in the mood to joke.”
The magic girl’s eyes narrowed.
“I’m not kidding either.”
His face became as calm as a lake.
“I suffered a serious injury, so I won’t be here for a while… But someday I will regain my strength and come back.”
Seeing his serious face, Kim Seong-ah also became deep in thought.
“I guess so.”
“Still, we lost our subordinates, so wouldn’t there be peace for a while?”
“I guess that’s true. It’ll feel like a holiday for a while.”
“That’s right. Tskcha!”
Kang In-ho stood up. He then smiled and looked down at her.

“Did you do well on the CSAT?”
In the same tone as usual,
“I ruined it by worrying about my uncle.”
Kim Seong-ah chuckled.
“But you did a good job. You worked hard while studying.”
He lifted her hand and stroked her hair.
She closed her eyes and felt his touch.
“What do you think about the CSAT? Do you feel relieved?”
“…Well, I’m not sure.”
“Now I have no choice but to graduate from high school.”
A cool breeze blew on the roof of the building.
The wind tangled his and her hair.
“That’s right. Ah~ I wanted to be a high school student my whole life.”
As if she was truly regretful, she turned her body and headed towards her stairs.
Following her slowly moving steps, he followed her steps.
“Seong-ya, there’s actually nothing special about being an adult.”
“Is that so? I’m still anxious.”
“It’s the same for adults and teenagers. They always make mistakes, fall, get frustrated, feel sad, get angry… Adults are just as immature as teenagers.”
“hahahaha… Why are you holding on to your weight all of a sudden? It’s awkward.”
“You will make a lot of mistakes in the future.”
“Mister?”
“You will make a lot of mistakes, you will fall so much that you will never be able to stand up again, you will be frustrated by many things, sad about being alone, and angry at the absurdity of the world.”
“…Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
Kim Seong-ah turned her body and looked at him.
A group of blue lights illuminated his body.
“You will be evaluated by stricter standards than when you were a student. It will be harsher and colder.”
“Oh, uncle?”
His body was becoming blurred.
The magical girl focused her power on her eyes. And she looked inside him.
She opened her mouth slightly when she saw the empty inside of his body.
“But don’t be afraid to try.”
He laughs. Not laughing frivolously at a dull joke or laughing loudly to hide awkwardness, but just smiling.
“Adults are not complete beings. This is just the beginning. Even though you fail a lot and despair… It’s never too late to try a little harder.”
It was the smile of a man named Kang In-ho.
“Ah… I wanted to see you go to college. That’s too bad. Oh, but don’t go to art school.”
He muttered, as if he was regretful.
“What are you talking about? Now!!!”
“I almost said, if I had had a few more years, I would have been able to accept your feelings…”
With a playful face, he jokes even as he disappears.
“Mister!”
The magical girl stretches out her hand and runs towards him.
“There are side dishes in the refrigerator. Eat well. Be healthy. Be happy…”
“Mister!!!!”
“I hope you become a wonderful adult who protects your dreams and hopes.”
“Uncle!!!!!!”
That day, shattered starlight floated across the rooftop, and Kim Seong-ah once again lost someone precious to her.
After puberty, the magical girl finally became an adult.
you just made it worse😭
