Part 5 Episode 12: Survive.
Crow had to stop all his actions due to his unkempt hair.
‘What happened? Where did the boss go and did this strange ego emerge? What should I do? Has ‘it’ completely disappeared? How on earth…’
Sense of Purpose, who was quietly looking at the confused Crow, opened his mouth.
“No need to worry. Just kill me.”
Everyone present looked at the purpose in astonishment.
“…You are not the boss.”
“That’s right. I’m not an obscure.”
“Then order me…!”
“But I have his ‘sense of purpose’.”
Crow stopped his words and looked at the Black Merchant.
“What did you do?”
“I didn’t do it.”
The Black Merchant shrugged his shoulders and said, as if it was unfair.
“I only made a contract with him. I hoped that this beautiful world would not be destroyed yet. He also hoped for that. Since our interests were aligned, I only helped him with his plan.”
“…No way.”
Crow quietly looked at the window floating in the air.
There were only two things left for him.
Sense of purpose.
And mental barriers.
“…No way.”
There was only one person present here who could understand this situation.
“Did you sell everything?”
Crow.
Only Crow, who had experience dealing with black merchants, could know.
“Correct answer. The Obscure strengthened its sense of purpose to the maximum by selling everything that made it up, allowing its body to move even after everything, including its humanity, disappeared. Well, in the words of humans, it was programmed. “I think I can do it.”
The Black Merchant glanced at his purpose.
“I’ve seen a lot of incarnations so far, but this is the first time I’ve seen an incarnation running blindly for something like this. To be honest, it gives me goosebumps.”
“..That can’t be possible.”
Haein staggered and approached the sense of purpose.
“…No. No. No.”
Haein was denying reality.
“…That can’t be possible…!”
Haein stretched out his hand.
A hand that has been stretched out again and again.
And then he stretched out his hand, hoping that the person who held his hand would hold it again and again.
But his hands were not held together.
“There is no time.”
I muttered with empty eyes and no sense of purpose.
“Kill me.”
Haein screamed when she saw that sense of purpose.
“Ah…Ahhh…!”
Xiao pursed her lips and pulled Haein towards her.
The villains and magical girls who joined late showed different reactions to that sense of purpose.
Surprise.
Doubt.
Sadness.
Anger.
All kinds of emotions were directed towards the sense of purpose, but the sense of purpose only muttered again.
“You have to kill me.”
“…There must be another way.”
Shine stepped forward and said.
“I just met a certain being and got a feel for it. If I do well, I will be able to chase that being away.”
“That’s right. I hate the idea of Obscure dying.”
“That’s right. Justice never gives up under any circumstances. There must be another way…!”
Purpose shook his head.
“…Why?”
“That existence again…”
Wood clack
The neck of the sense of purpose was bent at a strange angle.
“…These…Cheeky things…!」
Everyone took a step back in shock or surprise at that sight.
Crash. Wow.
After a while, his sense of purpose returned to its original state and he opened his mouth again.
“I’m trying to take advantage of the opportunity for that being to lose control and activate my mental barrier and myself as much as possible to prevent it from coming back in, but I’m at my limit now. Hurry up.”
“…Don’t be funny.”
Haein gritted his teeth and shouted.
“You are not my brother! Give me my brother back!”
“……”
Sense of Purpose looked at Haein for a moment and seemed to be thinking about something, then muttered.
“I pronounce the persuasive message entered by the body’s original owner, Obscure.”
The sense of purpose creaked for a moment and then opened its mouth.
“Crow.”
“….!”
It was him.
Pronunciation. Tone of voice. The amount of breath mixed.
It was all him.
“..Boss?”
“I’m leaving this to you because I believe you’ll understand.”
The sense of purpose continued.
“I signed a contract with a black merchant, paid the price, and found out a few things. The ‘thing’ that is trying to take over my body now is only the spirit that remains. If it dies while trapped in my body, it will completely disappear.”
“Wait a minute, boss. No way…!”
“If you kill me, this guy will be completely destroyed.”
After a brief pause, the sense of purpose continued.
“Then you will be safe too.”
“……!”
“I know I’m asking you a very difficult favor, Crow. But… Please. For everyone’s sake.”
“..Don’t say it.”
“Me.”
“Don’t say it!!!”
“Kill me.”
Crow finally sat down.
I felt like I couldn’t hold on any longer.
The plans made to save him ended up being plans that would lead to his death.

Clear water flowed from Crow’s eyes and moistened the ground.
“You were going to do this too, weren’t you, Crow?”
When the sense of purpose spoke, Crow raised his head.
Sense of purpose.
No, he is.
I was laughing.
“Are you going to sacrifice yourself? It’s up to anyone. That’s my role.”
“…Ha.”
Crow roughly rubbed his eyes and stood up from his seat.
Everyone there was looking at Obscure with confused faces.
“Everyone, come to your senses!”
Crow shouted and woke them up.
” ‘It’ will come back. And if it does, there’s no guarantee that we’ll be able to get it out again. We’ve already used too much force.”
The villains and magical girls tried to refute, but they could not.
The villain who waded through the black waves was already half exhausted.
The magical girls who had gathered all their power in one place had barely enough energy left to fly.
“We said we’d ask other countries for help, but then it’s too late. We… Have to do it.”
Boom.
Crow hit the ground with his cane and roughly rubbed the area around his eyes again.
“Everyone move. We have to survive…And save ourselves.”
Finally.
Crow started to move.
Crow leapt at a speed several times slower than usual and swung with anger.
Pang.
But the anger had reached its sharp edge.
“…?”
The Seven Deadly Sins were refusing to fight.
“…Profit!”
Crow swung the staff in his hand.
Munch.
But the greed that rose from Crow’s shadow blocked the staff.
“You idiots!”
Crow opened his mind wide and shouted.
“Fight for the boss!”
‘I don’t like it!’
‘Why are we killing the master?’
‘I can’t do just that.’
‘Rather destroy us first!’
‘No. No!’
“This…!”
While Crow hesitates.
This time, someone else came forward.
Boom!
The blade of the spear, swung at incredible speed, hit the stomach of the sense of purpose directly, and the sense of purpose fell and rolled on the floor.
“…That’s too much, my lord. The last command you give is to kill you.”
Xiao, who had put away his spear, bit his lip and said.
“…But…But if it’s an order.”
A spear used to protect the lord.
“I will follow…”
It was aimed at the lord.
Xiao took a leap forward once again.
The sense of purpose muttered quietly.
“You won’t die from that.”
When Crow heard that voice, he shouted loudly.
“What are you doing, magical girls? Apply! Quickly!!”
“…Huh? Uh. Ah. I understand!”
After hearing Crow’s command, several magical girls flew up and began to pour attacks on the sense of purpose.
Numerous attacks broke the floor, changed the terrain, and hit the sense of purpose directly.
“It’s not enough.”
The sense of purpose rose again and only muttered.
“Crazy…What kind of body is that?”
The body of the consciousness from which black fog was rising seemed as if someone was forcibly trying to protect his body.
The gaze of purpose reached beyond the magical girls attacking him.
There were people there who just looked at me with bewildered faces.
After pondering for a moment, the sense of purpose opened its mouth again.
“…Shine.”
“…!”
“Fulfill your purpose with justice.”
Obscue’s words were short.
It was enough to wake up Shine, who had been hesitant for a moment.
“…Everyone prepare to attack.”
“But junior…This…”
“Wait a minute, there’s another way…!”
“Then what should we do!”
Shine pointed to the sense of purpose being attacked.
“He’s making sacrifices. You guys think like that! Are you going to make the sacrifices he’s making in vain?!”
“…….”
“You must kill him.”
Shine gritted his teeth.
“He behaves uncharacteristically of a villain until the end. It’s difficult to define.”
Finally, Shine took off.
As Shine raised her hand, her golden light began to clump together again.
A little sun began to shine on them.
“…Hmph.”
Soldier Girl, who was quietly holding her gun, quietly aimed it with a sense of purpose.
Don Quixote, who was frowning and suffering, raised his lance only after some time had passed.
“…Noble one. May your sacrifice not be in vain.”
Don Quixote entered the battlefield.
And.
Snow Fox was shedding tears and extinguishing the fire in her heart.
Only after a very long time has passed.
I was still able to run towards my sense of purpose while shedding tears.
“What are you guys doing too? Come on!”
“…But the boss…”
“That’s not the boss anymore, Bishop. You saw it!”
“……”
Bishop gritted his teeth and very slowly raised his hand.
“Power.”
Puddeukdeuk.
“Attack…Do it!”
The bishop’s order was given.
The silent advance filled with grief began.
“…Ahab.”
“…Damn. Damn. Damn.”
“Ahab.”
“Damn it! I can’t do it! How can you attack that guy! The benefactor who saved my life…!”
“Ahab.”
“……..”
“You know the rules of our organization, right?”
“…Favor and revenge are always repaid.”
“The way you can repay the favor now is to free that person a little faster.”
“……Damn. Really f*ck.”
Ahab picked up the harpoon.
The Pequod prepared to sail.
But this time, it was a voyage to return a favor, not revenge.
The advance and voyage, filled with the sorrow of the two avengers, began.
「Do you guys… Think… They can… Kill me?Ahh…!”
As the ‘thing’ that began to take over the body little by little cried out, the amount of fog spewing out from the body of the sense of purpose began to increase.
“Damn it! The attack wasn’t going in before, but it’s starting to go down even more!”
The defense has become more solid.
“……..”
Crow, who was watching that scene, ignored the Seven Deadly Sins who were still not listening to him and ran to Haein.
“Haein.”
“I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.”
“…….”
Crow tried to persuade him, but Haein and the Seven Deadly Sins still did not move.
“Oh my…!”
Shine gritted her teeth and looked down at her purpose.
Spewing out more and more black fog, its defenses have now become so thick that no attack can penetrate them.
Literally, Cheolongseong.
“If only I could use the same blow as before… One more time…!”
Shine began to gather light.
But it was never the same light as before.
“Please! I need it!”
Shine used evil to gather light.
The light did not reach the same intensity as before.
“Please…!”
Shine clenched her teeth and closed her eyes.
I want to understand.
I want to define it.
Before that being called Obscure reaches the end.
Shine was in agony.
Defining requires understanding.
Knowledge is needed to understand.
Then what is needed to know?
Light.
Light to illuminate the dark parts and understand the unknown.
What she needed was a small ray of light.
「Good.」
Shine’s eyes opened brightly.
Shine knew intuitively.
Although it was not as large as before, a similar type of light was gathered in her hand.
Shine gathers light.
This time it was neither a beam nor a spear.
It was a hand.
A hand to reach out.
Hands to reach.
Hands that resemble the hands he used for battle.
Shine finally stretched out her hand.
The outstretched hand continued to move forward.
I went through the fog of the unknown.
「QualitySeo…! “Are you interfering with me till the end?”
She finally, she reached him.
—————————
「Humanity has been restored by 1%!」
‘I’ looked at the window that filled my field of vision.
But surprisingly, what was felt before the visual information was the sense of touch.
It hurts.
I crouched slightly, erased the window from my sight, and looked around.
“…Ah.”
Everyone was there.
And each one was attacking me with various expressions to clear the fog around me.
Success….
I smiled slightly and turned my head.
At the edge of my vision were Crow and Haein.
Crow was trying to wake Haein, who was curled up.
…It was expected, but the firepower is still lacking.
I tried to stir the fog that was still filling up around me with my hand.
It didn’t seem like something I could clean up of my own volition.
I finally opened my mouth and made a sound.
「HaInAh.」
Everyone shuddered and paused at the sound of my voice.
And even me.
It’s still incomplete, but… Has it been assimilated?
Crow looked back at me in surprise, and Haein raised his head with bloodshot eyes.
“Oppa…Is that you?”
「That’s right.」
“No… That can’t be… My brother…”
「Do itIna.」
“Ugh…Ugh….”
「It’s okay. Everything will be okay. Do you believe in me?”
Haein nodded her head very slightly.
「HaeinAh. Just…JustClear away this fog a little. “Can you do it?”
“I don’t like it. Then…Then, brother.”
「I won’t die. RememberDon’t you? You went through all kinds of dangerous things and survived, right?”
“…..”
「Do you believe me?」
“…Really?”
Haein finally stood up, wiping away the tears.
“If you really die, I will hate you for the rest of my life.”
Haein put his hands together and started hacking.
He is different from back then when he hacked to survive.
We are doing this to save everyone.
I turned my gaze away from Haein and looked at Crow.
It looks like the Seven Deadly Sins are protesting.
「Seven deadly sins. The command is. Follow the orders of your new master, Crow.”
I could instantly hear the Seven Deadly Sins’ protests, but I ignored them.
I’m sorry, but I know you can’t disobey my orders.
When I completely ignored my complaints, the Seven Deadly Sins finally gave up and began to follow Crow’s orders.
「…What are you all doing?」
I looked back at the villains.
「Attack even . Survive, Right? AndAnd…」
My eyes landed on the magical girls.
「I must save You.」
For a moment, they looked shocked at what I said.
Everyone stood up as if they knew my will.
Now is the time to really see the end.
It started with Haein.
“aaah!!!”
Haein let out a sound that I couldn’t tell whether he was crying or cheering, and attempted to hack at my fog.
In an instant, part of the fog split, and numerous attacks poured in through the gap.
Attacks aimed at opening up even a little more space.
What stands out among them is:
It was definitely Snow Fox’s incredible firepower.
“…….”
Carries the emotion of sadness and spits out fire.
From Noble mtl dot com
Like a real nine-tailed fox.
I said with a grin.
「YesHey, you’re a magic Girl.’
Snow Fox was startled by my words and began to unleash even more firepower.
“What kind of magical girl is this…!”
I looked away.
Three groups rushing towards me.
Vendetta boarded the Pequod.
Okita is trying hard to come to me.
Golden Supreme, who spends money like water and supports villains.
On the boat, there was Ahab with his harpoon pointed at me, and Vendetta with his gun pointed at me.
And Golden Supreme shows a sad look in his eyes as if he no longer needs money.
And Okita fixed his sad gaze on me as if he didn’t want to lose me anymore.
I smiled at him.
They were all familiar faces.
I turned my head again.
My family was there.
Crow takes the lead wearing the Seven Deadly Sins.
Haein doesn’t stop hacking even with a nosebleed.
Xiao overcomes drowsiness surrounded by butterflies.
Bishop commands the villains with a pained expression.
A pharmacist supports the family by organizing medicine with a sad expression.
I raised my head for the last time.
There were two familiar faces in the air.
Don Quixote, a righteously crazy magical girl pursuing justice.
….And.
Shine.
The fog is gradually thinning.
“aaa!!!”
Don Quixote and Shine were rushing in from above.
“aaah!!!”
In front, my family was coming to me with help from those around me.
“Just figure out how to survive according to your goal! Why are you doing this!!”
Crow shouted as he came toward me, and I just smiled.
What you live is what I live.
In Crow, there is a me from my time as a dishonest villain.
Haein has me who sympathizes with her wounds.
I have mercy on Xiao.
I am cold to Bishop, but I still haven’t given up my warmth.
The pharmacist has someone who can be cruel for his family.
I raised my head.
I am there for everyone out there.
My goal has never changed.
My goal is still to survive.
“That’s it!!! Go in, junior!!”
“aaa!!!”
The fog breaks.
Crow and Shine are coming closer to me.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Crow are targeting me.
Shine’s bright light is aiming at me.
And I was still smiling.
If they survive.
I also survive.
I closed my eyes.
Crow and Shine’s hands reached me.
