Chapter 57 – Episode 54 Memento Mori

“Uuuuu… !!!”

When Umi opened her eyes, her friends were in front of her. The feeling of a foreign body enveloping my body, the countless attentions from people, the ugly behavior that makes me feel like my life is going to be ruined… Everything disappeared.

The storm of incidents in the café he brought to the café is everywhere.

As if everything hadn’t happened…

I can hear Izzy and Yeri talking.

“No matter who eats the dessert, as long as it’s delicious, it’s the best! “If I open a café later, you’ll make macarons with a skull mark on them, right?”

“… “I don’t make things like that.”

“Ah… ?!”

What happened… ?

Umi pinched her cheek. Was what happened just a momentary delusion? But it is too clear to dismiss it as something like that. It seems like the goosebumps all over my body and the feeling of my heart pounding and about to explode still remain.

Tiririring.

Umi heard her cell phone ringing and got up from her seat. It’s a call from Gina.

“Kids, give me a call…”

“Come back before the parfait comes out!”

Umi nods her head and picks up her purse containing her precious Umi Hole.

Stumbling, I move to the bathroom. The moment I see the mirror, my legs give out and I collapse.

“Uuuuu… !! Ugh… !!!”

When her friends were out of sight, Umi couldn’t stop crying.

The shame and fear of her returned memories still linger. I try to calm down while exhaling.

Really… I thought everything was over.

Revealing my vagina hole as a parfait smoothie in front of people… Not only does she look like a prostitute who climaxes unsightly, but she also gets help from her friends to get the foreign object out of her… A lot of photos were posted on social media, and it almost ruined not only his life but also the lives of many people.

Gulp…

I almost got in big trouble…

Umi answered the ringing phone.

“Jina senior…”

“Umi, it’s okay… ?!”

Even her voice is full of embarrassment.

“I… Stir…”

“Mi… Sorry! It’s all our fault… ! I had to capture the monster somehow…”

“This time… It was rewound 10 minutes ago, right? “Whose magic is this?”

“It’s the monster’s hidden ability. Trying to somehow avoid a fatal blow…”

“Thank you!!!”

Gina is startled by Umi’s sudden shout.

“What… ?”

“Thank you for giving me back time… Thank you monster… !!!”

“Umi, what is that… ?”

Gina has no clue.

She wondered what Umi was going through while they were fighting monsters, and how she longed to go back to the way it was 10 minutes ago… There was no way she could reason.

After listening to Umi’s vague explanation, Gina told her about her current situation.

It is said that the monster that turned back time 10 minutes ago jumped into the portal and disappeared before Gina approached. If Su-Ah, who was hanging on his shark’s head, hadn’t jumped quickly, he might have been in big trouble.

Anyway, this is how the battle with the monster, which created a confusing situation in many ways, came to an end.  Thanks to going back 10 minutes, [God’s Logic Human Magic] Was not used much, so Ara was able to avoid becoming younger than an adult.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary of the monster’s ability to return to the past 10 minutes ago is Umi herself.

She couldn’t even imagine what path Umi’s life would have taken if time had not been turned back.

After finishing the call, Woomi returned to her seat.

Pretend to be peaceful as if nothing happened.

When Umi returned, there was [Spring’s new product, the great parfait smoothie].

Siyeon also arrived and was taking pictures. It looks like he worked hard to post it on social media. However, in that scene, Umi ends up projecting her own image.

“Ugh…”

Every time she hears the shutter sound, her lower abdomen twitches.

When she remembers the photo of the obscene act that turned into a pussy hole parfait smoothie, she feels weird for no reason. A chilling feeling runs down her spine.

“Are you here? Umi, take a picture quickly too! Let’s eat together!”

At her bright smile, Umi takes out her cell phone with a sly expression on her face.

‘Normal mind… Normal mind…’

In an attempt to act as if nothing had happened, Umi herself takes a picture of Parfait Smoothie’s magnificent figure. The beautiful dessert decoration is delicious.

“Then let’s eat!”

“YEAH!”

The long-awaited parfait time.

Several spoons rush to the parfait. Cut up the banana and remove the pepero that is stuck in it. I scoop up the ice cream and eat it, thinking it’s delicious.

All my friends here… You probably don’t remember that you had your pussy hole pierced like that 10 minutes ago…

Umi reluctantly takes a drink too. A parfait spoon goes into the inner bowl, mixes the ice cream, and scoops out sweet strawberries and candy powder.

Hop, and white, thick cream enters Umi’s mouth. I lick what flows from the corner of my mouth with my tongue, and savor the taste while my body trembles.

“…”

Damn, it tastes delicious.

“What? “Are you crying?”

“I was so impressed because it was so delicious!”

“Lol! Let’s eat a lot and go!”

Hearing her friends’ words, Umi somehow wipes away the tears that are flowing.

“… Yes!”

Umi says that and takes another sip of the parfait.

Even if she looks like a mess… Even though she looked cold in her eyes… Even in that situation, she recalled the images of her friends who tried to help her somehow.

“I’m so glad…”

Her overwhelming emotion at regaining her precious daily life was melted in the mouths of her friends without their knowledge.

“~So Gina. What are you left to talk about? ?”

After finishing the battle, the magical girls had lunch together. The original loach stew restaurant with 30 years of tradition. Ara’s sense is still the same. Ara asks her as she empties her drink, saying she’s glad he didn’t become her brat.

Su-ah resisted her invitation to drink, and after finishing her meal, she left first. Despite this, she remained in her seat and became Ari’s drinking partner.

The matter of turning back time was already mentioned when Suah was there. It is said that it was the ability of the monster-turned-murderer who rewinded time, and it was his desire to somehow undo his mistakes that led to the terrible accident.

According to RegTech, this ending ability was a one-time use and a last resort type of magic, so it could not be used twice.

I’ll probably be able to kill you the next time it appears… I hope the next time it appears, it won’t have anything threatening like a shark’s head attached.

Gina eats the ingredients of loach stew while blowing her breath. The strong scent of Japanese pepper powder is addictive. He picked up his soju glass, took a sip, and continued speaking.

“… “It occurred to me there.”

“Huh?”

“We didn’t die that day.”

“… ?”

Juseom Gina recalls the memories of that day and speaks out.

I was walking on a normal crosswalk.

Gina’s body froze as a dump truck drove into her, ignoring her signal. Due to the overwhelming size of the car body, it is not as easy for people to remain cool-headed as one might think. The moment you feel the energy of death, someone pushes you, and you fall over, and your vision becomes blurred.

Blood splattering everywhere… The sight of a man being trampled in a mess is visible.

The man’s knees below were completely crushed.

“That…”

Ara’s face is filled with pensiveness.

“We didn’t die that day… Died before our eyes… “I saw someone and ended up wishing for them.”

Because of me…

Because of me… Dead…

Rather,

It would be better if I were dead.

I wish I had died…

The magical girls ended up [Altering] The memories of that day with their own deaths.

“… So, the person who threw his body to save you was Joo-hyuk’s older brother.”

Ara nods her head with a bitter expression.

“I thought it was too harsh to disappear from existence simply by being involved in an incident. That wasn’t it. Rather…”

Ara tries to think of the members of the mystery club.

I can’t tell who is who in my blurry memories… He must have wanted it so earnestly.

Begging for the nightmarish serial killings to end…

“So you deliberately didn’t bring it up when Su-ah was around.”

“I think it’s still a little early for her to talk about this.”

If the same goes for other magical girls, Su-ah also forgets someone who died in front of her.

Umi is definitely…

“… Due to the [Change] Of the world, have we forgotten the events that really happened and have only good memories? It might be a much better feeling than self-blame. Then… How can I tell this to Joo Hyuk…”

“No, it’s not time yet.”

Huh? And when Ara looked at her, her Gina… After thinking about it, she speaks.

“Her brother himself didn’t want it…”

“What… ?”

Ara looked at her with an unexpected expression.

“How…?”

“That’s it… The identity of the mascots…”

After eating more than half of the parfait smoothie, Umi and her friends continue chatting. In the lively atmosphere, Umi soon adapts and lets go of her difficult memories. Although I’m still worried about the bag containing Umihole.

“Ahahaha!”

“Yeri, I heard your voice is too loud…”

“Of course, how many female vocal screamers do you think there are in Korea?”

“Anyway, you need to know that.”

“Ah! I was going to eat that macaron… !”

Since it was a place where high school friends met, the conversation naturally revolved around those days. What was it like back then? The teacher was a bit strange. I want to eat the bread from the cafeteria again… A small story. Meanwhile, the topic turns to Yeri’s voice growing louder.

“It’s really amazing sometimes when I see him talking. “You can hear voices even when the train passes by?”

“You got scolded at Umi’s house too~.”

“Ah, let’s all get together and have a slumber party… You’re watching a horror movie, and you’re like, “Aaaaah!”, Not realizing that this guy’s teeth are even scarier. No shit… The zombie-like kid is right next to me. It’s not easy, really.”

“Why, I hate zombies!”

“We were making a lot of noise back then… “He came out from the next room and told me to be quiet while I was studying. It wasn’t a joke, I guess?”

“Huh? Was it like that?”

Umi asked while sucking up the smoothie.

The next room… It must have been a warehouse…

No, I remember when I came back on Monday. A strange feeling of discomfort. It was like the next room to begin with… Was there?

“Who said that?”

“Uh… Who was that? You don’t remember? Umi, did you have an older brother?”

In response to Yeri’s question, Umi shakes her hand and makes a noise.

“What do you mean?”

Throbbing, one side of my chest feels cold for some reason.

I end up feeling a strange sense of déjà vu.

“To me… “

Is it because of a shocking memory from earlier? Maintaining her normal demeanor, Umi continued speaking as if nothing had happened.

“… There’s no way I could have an older brother, right?”
