Chapter 134 – Courteous Snip Snip

“…?”

‘Are you watching?’

Gulp.

He swallowed and observed Hong Seon’s actions. The tentacles clumped and unwound repeatedly, wriggling like a sea anemone, then swallowing a hand-held business card with their head, and doing unknown acts, eventually swallowing it in one gulp.

‘Is it true that we can communicate for real?!’

At this point, it’s horror.

It was hard for me to keep my mouth shut, wondering if this young man looked like this only in my own eyes, but at this moment, Leas, who was in the car, cautiously pushed the teacup forward and smiled.

“Please don’t worry. Master is just making fun of the old man. He knows at least that his appearance is like that, and isn’t it Master who told you to come in when you come in and out?”

“—Ah.”

The representative opened his mouth briefly.

Speaking of that, didn’t I just say “Come in”?

‘Even if it’s because of the appearance, it’s okay to be too nervous—’

So relieved, and facing the tentacled young man again, he awkwardly scratched his head, actually scratching the air, with body language.

“If you say something like that, haha… Turn off the couple… So… Un… De…”

‘—No. After all, it’s not normal.’

A tone that resounds like a microphone. It was a grotesque cry that seemed to flow around from the tentacles. If you look closely, you can see that there are breathing holes in several places on the tentacles, and words are coming out from there. Thanks to this, the CEO, who was trying to relax, straightened his back again and hurriedly got into the car to catch his breath.

“CEO Kang Hong-seon was always like this?”

“Because he’s the representative, he’s giving me a high rating. No, I’m not complaining. That’s right… The current Master is in a difficult state to talk to, so I’d like to tell you instead that this happened very recently, so you don’t have to discuss the Master’s race.”

“What about that?”

“The Master is an Earthling. If you ask if he is a 100% pure Earthling, he himself does not know his bloodline, so it is impossible to answer.”

‘It’s also a monster… ‘

While Leas answered for her, the monster in human skin raised her little finger and elegantly raised her teacup. The head moves like a sea anemone, the tentacle is lowered leisurely and the contents are sucked in with the tip of the tentacle.

“Master. You’re not used to it yet. Would it be okay if I listened to the story and answered instead?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay-“

“Thank you. ─ Side.”

If there were 10 men in her world, all 10 of them would see her and get the impression that she is a model of her secretary or that she is a cool beauty. They kissed and put on a happy face. Sincere love is contained in that act, if you look at it from the side, you will only see it as a geek with grotesque tastes as much as its beautiful appearance.

“Then let’s talk while Master is enjoying tea. Old man, why did you come all the way here?”

“Before that, I didn’t say hello to the recent situation…”

“You don’t have enough time, so please refrain from talking round and round.”

-Are you that type?

It has become an atmosphere of reporting one-sidedly, but there is nothing to shy away from because it is a place where I was willing to risk my life. Most of the previous reports are useless until you hear their story in the first place. Even if that is the case, there is nothing the CEO, an earthling, can do, and honestly confessed.

The transfer of the goods that came up earlier, the results of the inspection, communication with the Evil Dead, and the story about it.

He even confessed that the military had come up with such an opinion to see if magical girls were planning a coup. In a way, it was comparable to being called an idiot, and in a way, it was good that he did something like a spy. I was telling this story to the magical girl I saw for the first time today and the tentacle monster that owned it, so even the CEO himself regretted not knowing what he was doing. There was also a thought that the earth would be in danger if something was not done, and the feeling that I came to it impulsively because of that was too great.

“… Is the story.”

“Hmm.”

Leas crosses his arms. Standing at a distance next to Hongseon, the owner, she shows off her beautiful legs. Conversely, the monster with such a beautiful woman by his side emptied the tea, carefully set down the cup, and, without knowing what he was thinking, put his hand on his armrest and behaved calmly.

“There is also unexpected information mixed in. Then, Master. Can I give you an answer based on my judgment?”

“…”

Instead of an answer that echoes like a microphone, the tentacles on her head twitch and Leahs nods in response.

“Yes, I understand. Then I will answer you, but we were the ones who communicated with the Evil Dead first.”

“…Then is it real?”

“If it’s about a coup, I’ll have to answer because I’m overly suspicious. I’m sure I’ve communicated often with the Evil Dead. I’ve talked about the Master, and I’ve talked about the survival of humanity. The main story was how long each boss would maintain this truce. Recently, there may have been a change in the master, but it has changed to a question about him. In other words, it is surprising that the state intervenes because it is our personal affairs.”

‘No way… ‘

The personal history of the tentacle monster accompanying many magical girls.

“It’s the personal history of such an influential representative. If you think the state won’t interfere, isn’t that a big misunderstanding?”

After evading the word ‘tentacle monster’ so that it wouldn’t come out of his throat, when the question was asked again, Leas continued to answer while his eyebrows twitched.

“If you say that, then we have to answer. Because we don’t know what will happen to the fate of mankind due to his personal history, I personally didn’t want him to stick his head into it. As you can see, you can see that the Master isn’t an existence that ends up being influential. Because it will.”

“Does it sound like we humans have been quiet without knowing anything?”

“That’s what it says. All I know of this now is that many of you have reported it… It’s too late to gloss over it now, but controlling it through AI will do anything.”

“…”

Leas, knowing that it was impossible, said something stupid. I thought that he had a more tenacious personality than he seemed, so when the CEO’s eyes narrowed, his tentacles swayed.

“So, so… I came to Rororo, the representative… Dada Dada…”

“…Ah? Yes. He came as a representative. Judging from the situation, he came right away without permission or a meeting from a high-ranking member of the party.”

“Nanana… One… When… Door gate door gate… Er… Urgently… Came… Da da da da…”

“I guess so.”

“Then, please understand the couple in good faith…”

“…Master. Are you still obsessed with human life?”

“Leaaas?”

“No, it was a mistake.”

It is an attitude of blatant dissatisfaction. Considering that magical girls don’t carelessly show that kind of expression to others, it was quite uncomfortable. It was not that he was disappointed with Hong-seon himself, but that he was uncomfortable because something was stuck in his throat, but he did not refuse the order of the monster who became his master.

“Then…”

Scratching your head.

No matter how far I can tell, the answer came right after thinking about it.

“We are also aware of the movement of supplies. Are supplies and magical girls gathering in the former occupied area used by the Evil Dead?”

“…! That’s right. The Emergency Response Committee will soon be convened on that matter, so we need to hear about it…!!”

“It’s a coup.”

“──?”

Jjorororororolock.

The new car in front of Hong Seon was refilled and there was a moment of silence.

Coup d’etat.

Words he didn’t want to hear hit the president’s brain and froze for a moment.

“Coup d’état. The French national word on Earth. It means to strike a blow against the government and to seize or seize power by force.”

“No!! No that! Didn’t you just say there wasn’t such a thing!! It was an excessive suspicion! What a coup after saying that?!”

“Because it’s not ‘us’.”

“What is it?”

“So, the coup is on our side.”

“──Don’t talk round and round, why don’t you explain the situation right away!!!!!”

Thud!!!

Even though I was told not to talk round and round, when Leas himself was polite, his voice eventually jumped high and knocked on the desk.

“…”

At that moment, the blood on his head cooled down. A moment of silence in case you want to die right here. However, neither of them were surprised or annoyed, but rather, Hong Seon shook his shoulders and was happy, so Leas forgave.

“Excuse me. I’ll explain more clearly from now on. Most of the magical girls currently in the special zone are the so-called love group in the master’s hands. At first, there were only about 500 people, but now the number has increased to about 1500. In other words, they belong to the special zone. It is no exaggeration to say that all magical girls in the Special Zone, including the trainees, are the Master’s clique.”

“Cliques, unheard of!”

“Because this is the first time such a large faction has been formed. Originally, there was no such thing as a commotion like this. Our relationship with the Master was well controlled so that disrespectful rumors would not spread among the magical girls even if they were discovered outside, The story of ‘The magical girls inside were brainwashed by a man named Hong Seon’ leaked out… It’s just a matter of spur of the moment. Just recently, documents about the war arrived, so we’re in the process of sorting it out.”

‘… This, no way.’

I looked at the monster in front of me in a cold sweat. I couldn’t grasp the situation, but I wondered, ‘Could these guys be being tricked by the evil dead?’ I fell into the same delusion. No matter how you look at it, it’s because a monster who doesn’t look like a magical girl is ruling this place.

“Are you guys on the side of humanity? That’s the expression. Isn’t the master brainwashing us into giving the earth to the evil dead, are you suspicious of such an operation? And the magical girls who initiated the coup now realize that and try to fight righteously… Is that a story…”

“Then no…? Suddenly a truce with the evil dead… Cut off support… Isn’t it all this guy’s fault…?!”

“If that’s the case, then we should suspect whether the princess and queen in Bright Star’s home country were also brainwashed. This truce was initiated by us, including Soar-sama, and it was the queen of the home country who agreed to the truce. Without having to do anything, the Evil Dead would have led us to take over the Earth and start their reign, but I don’t think there’s anything suspicious about that part.”

“…That.”

“I can’t tell you everything about the Master, but the rebels are over there and we are on the side of mankind. Master, even though our appearance has turned out like this, we, being born aliens, have no complaints or discriminatory views towards this appearance. Such a discriminatory gaze. Only earthlings have it. Please don’t confuse that part and don’t be hostile.”

It was the last warning.

The party leader cooled his head and tried to exclude from his head the story that the queen and princesses might have been brainwashed.

… But.

“Then, in the end, a large clique is formed within the magical girls regardless of brainwashing and they fight because of it? … Is it because of this man?”

“The Master’s help regarding the Evil Dead truce was great, so all the magical girls from the Special Zone who received that help followed the Master. Conversely, the fact that the opposing truce gathered in one faction was the cause of the coup. As you can see, the sexual connotation It may look like brainwashing because you are following the Master, but it is not. The Queen or the Princess can vouch for that part. The Princess is currently on Earth, so she will appear with the delegation soon.”

Excuses are lame

I expelled the evil dead, so I came to follow it. I wonder if it’s a story that can be passed with just one word.

‘No matter how you think about it, this monster is a villain. I asked her like this, but she doesn’t talk about her birthplace or what she did.’

It’s not something that can be dismissed as weird because of magical girls’ sexual orientation. How could they say that all of the 1,500 magical girls sexually follow the tentacle monster? Rather, it would be more correct to say that this tentacle monster brainwashed all the magical girls in the special zone, and that the magical girls preparing for a coup from the outside are the real justice.

… Actually it does too.

‘I can’t do anything anyway. Can’t tell where It’s already over.’

When I was blaming myself that the reason I came here today was to actually listen to the death sentence of mankind, such words came out naturally.

“What about civilians?”

“…? Civilians?”

‘Look at that, even though such a large-scale coup takes place, they don’t care about civilians.’

As she covers her face with her hands, sighs, and is in despair, Hong Seon speaks instead of Leas.

“There is no need to worry about anything.”

“Ah?”

After talking that far, Leas realized it too.

“What is it?”

“No, I think there’s some misunderstanding. Even if it’s a coup, it’s not about overthrowing the country, so just do it as usual. We magical girls came here to protect humanity, and we don’t want to harm the country for personal reasons, so we fight. It itself borrows the training ground of the special district. So internal disputes won’t spread outside. Even if you hit and run, would it be enough to punch? Even if you use magic or psychic powers, there won’t be a big problem because the training ground is underground, and be careful not to cause casualties It’s going to tip, so it’s going to be pretty fair.”

“…Sports day?”

At the thoughtless words, the tentacle next to her made a ‘fufu’ laugh.

“Depending on the mood of the day, it might be like that. The princess participating as a delegation will also appear, so she’ll stick her head out to everyone after that. Ah, I don’t know what you’ve been worried about until now, but no matter which side wins, humanity will protect it. Please don’t worry about that part.”

‘I really don’t know what is what.’

Now that I think about it, it reminds me that these guys are magical girls.

‘Are you really brainwashed? Or is there some misunderstanding?’

I do not know.

Nothing is known.

‘I’m deliberately hiding information about this man… Then… It’s not really brainwashing or anything like that… ? As this woman said, her delegation including the princess would come soon, so if that’s true… No, rather, there is a possibility that this man is someone in a high position on the magical girl side… Aliens don’t seem to care about appearance… ‘

However, if you think about it that way, it is also strange that this young man is an earthling. If you doubt something, something gets you in trouble, and if you doubt something, new questions get you in trouble.

At best, this was all the party representative could do. It was obvious that the other side would not answer even if I inquired more than this, and it was great just to get the information that the magical girls are currently divided into factions and fight each other with blades. I have to leave out the information about this young man with tentacles, which is the biggest keyword in the series of conversations, but thanks to that, I saved face.

“Looks like the meal is finally ready. The old man is lucky. Today’s meal is what Master likes, so I think it will surely suit your taste.”

“Uh… Yes?”

At the same time, naked women who seem to have taken over the cooking rush in, put down their meals, and leave again. It was very contrasting to send a friendly gaze to the tentacle youth Hong Seon, but to send a skeptical gaze to the party representative.

‘The sun is still up, but this big meat… ‘

The large and spacious meat placed between the fork and knife is marinated in sauce and looks like a child’s taste at first glance. However, it was true that I hadn’t eaten, so my appetite was piqued, and when I quietly touched the knife, it was cut easier than it looked, and the taste was good.

“What kind of meat is it?”

“It’s a cow. It’s the thighs of a blunt cow with small breasts but well-behaved.”

“A metaphor is young…?”

“It’s my hobby. I apologize if I’m offended.”

Leas, her faceless head lowered, turned her eyes and smiled gleefully as her master splayed the center of her tentacles open and consumed her meat through where her throat should have been.

“Master, do you like it?”

“Mama mama, there is-“

“Is that so? Huhu, it’s an honor.”

Then she, who had not yet been seated in her seat, took the seat next to her and acted devotedly to her, slicing her own meat and going straight down her throat. Hong Seon, who eats meat just as it looks, was a horror story for the representative, but Leas, who serves such a monster, feels like she is reaching the climax of her life. It was clear what would happen if he looked at Leas in this state with strange eyes, so the CEO acted quietly until the meal was over.

Afterwards, she sorted out what she said earlier and helped to calm the fuss. He told me about what was going to happen inside, deliberately hid information about him, and told me about his treatment of mankind. The representative returned safely, but Hong Seon’s name did not come up and down in his mouth. Because everyone’s life is precious. Even if the outside world knew about a monster with tentacles on its head leading more than a thousand magical girls, it would only be treated like a madman, and I didn’t want to listen to what was happening as a result or be delusional, so I decided to act like a maniac.

The time is coming

The underground training ground of the special zone.

It is the day when all the remaining magical girls on Earth gather.
