That night.
Seo-ah and I decided to spend our last night lying together in one bed.
Well⌠to be honest, we always sleep in the same bed anyway, so it wasnât anything particularly special.
âGood night.â
âYes, sleep well.â
As always, we exchanged our usual goodnight greetings and closed our eyes.
But for some reason, I couldn't fall asleep even as time passed.
Was it because of the thought that tomorrow would be our last day?
Or was it thanks to catching up on rest by sleeping in late this morning?
Either way, I had to spend some time lying awake with my eyes open, unable to fall asleep.
I knew I should sleep now for tomorrow, but my body refused to cooperate with my thoughts.
In the end, I simply stared blankly at the ceiling, waiting for sleep to take me.
And apparently⌠the same went for Seo-ah.
âSarah. Are you awake?â
Hearing a voice from the head of the bed, I gently lifted my head to look up, and my eyes met Seo-ah's.
âYouâre not sleeping either, huh.â
âLooks like youâre still up too, Seo-ah.â
âMaybe itâs because todayâs the last day, but I just canât fall asleep.â
âWhat a coincidence. Me too.â
Since we had already finished talking about it earlier in the day, Yoo Seo-ah didnât ask me to stay longer or plead for just one more day.
She just chuckled at my words and nodded her head.
âShall we chat for a bit then?â
âSounds good. I actually had something I wanted to ask.â
Something to ask? Hadnât we already talked about pretty much everything?
As I wondered, Seo-ah looked at me and asked:
âOnce you leave this city, where are you planning to go?â
At that question, I let out an exclamation, "Ah."
Until now I had only said I was leaving, but never mentioned where I was going.
âIâm thinking of heading to City C, where Magical Girl Blue is.â
As soon as the name Blue came out, Seo-ah made a sharp sound like someone eating something spicy and sighed deeply.
âWhy are you going to Han Soyu of all peopleâŚâ
Han Soyu.
That was the name of Magical Girl Blue from the original story.
âYou know her?â
I blinked and asked, since they didnât really have any notable connection in the original story.
Seo-ah gave me a long look, pondered for a moment, then sighed and pulled me into her arms.
âOf course I do. Iâve been a magical girl for 10 years, you know. How could I not?â
10 years? I didn't even know that.
Wasnât it 8 years?
ââŚAh, right. She said the battle with the humanoid monster happened 8 years ago.â
Realizing that belatedly, I closed my mouth again and asked a different question.
âIf you know her by name, then you must be pretty close, right?â
âIf you call it close⌠I guess. We were elementary school classmates, after all.â
âIf you went to the same elementary school and same class, wouldnât that make you close?â
âWe were just vaguely familiar, enough to know each otherâs face and name. And the last time I saw her face was over 5 years ago⌠So there's not much of a relationship to speak of.â
âOver 5 years? You havenât met even once since then?â
Given her sharp reaction earlier, I started wonderingâdid the two of them have a falling-out?
But what came out of Seo-ahâs mouth was far from what I expected.
âItâs not that we didnât meet⌠itâs that she locked herself up and never came out, so I couldnât meet her. Well, even if that wasn't the case, we probably wouldn't have had much reason to meet anyway.â
âLocked herself up? But from what Iâve seen, sheâs still fighting monsters and doing her duties as a magical girlâŚâ
âShe just uses the drones she made herself to maintain public safety. She hasnât made a public appearance in years. Like I said, the last time I saw her was over 5 years ago⌠so itâs been nearly 6 years now that sheâs holed up at home.â
I blinked at the number that was far beyond my expectations.
Not 2 or 3 years, but 6 years not leaving the house?
âWas there some kind of serious accident, perhaps?â
âWell⌠something like that.â
Yoo Seo-ah replied in a reluctant tone.
âSomething happened. Something really complicated.â
What on earth could possibly have happened to turn a magical girl into a hikikomori?
Was it aftereffects of an accident? A serious injury that prevented her from going outside?
âŚDamn that author. Always dropping hints without properly explaining anything, leaving me with nothing to go on.
I sighed inwardly and opened my mouth.
âCan I ask what happened?â
After hesitating for a moment, Yoo Seo-ah sighed and hugged me.
âI donât know the details either. There was a big incident about 6 years ago, and after that, she shut herself in. Thatâs all I know.â
âA big incident⌠Do you remember what kind of incident it was?â
Yoo Seo-ah gave a bitter smile and shook her head.
âHonestly, I donât remember. Back then I was overwhelmed just dealing with my own problems that I didnât have the time or energy to worry about someone else. Sorry I canât be of more help.â
âMm, no, itâs okay. This is already more than enough. Thank you for telling me.â
âIâm glad if it helped.â
Yoo Seo-ah hugged me tightly and gently rubbed her cheek against mine.
ââŚBe careful, okay? That girl, the last time I saw her, she looked in really bad shape.â
Coming from someone like Yoo Seo-ah, who was practically a walking corpse at one pointâŚ
To hear her say someone was in bad shape?
Thatâs almost unthinkable.
I blinked at her absurd words.
How far gone must someone be for Seo-ah to describe them like that?
Instead of leisurely lying here, should I be flying off to Blue right now with a big hug and give her all the love and praise, saying âaww, there there, our sweet magical girl, you did so well, come here and let me pamper youâ?
âŚOf course, that only stayed in my thoughts and I didnât say it out loud.
After all, bluntly saying something like âIt's really worrying to hear you say that when you were nearly dead yourselfâ would be way too rude.
âYes. Iâll be careful.â
In the end, this was all I could say in response.
Once our curiosity was satisfied, Seo-ah and I chatted about trivial things until we fell asleep.
***
Since time doesnât stop just because we donât want to say goodbye, the next day arrived.
Where thereâs a meeting, there must also be a parting.
Yes, it was finally time to part ways.
âTake care of yourself. And if anything happens, make sure to contact me.â
âOkay. But⌠donât we not actually have a way to contact each other?â
âAh⌠Youâre right.â
Scratching her head, Seo-ah muttered something like maybe giving me a spare phone as she started rummaging through her drawers.
After a moment of thought, I decided to grant me a new ability.
âSeo-ah.â
âHm?â
âCan you come closer for a moment?â
As Seo-ah stepped over with a puzzled expression, I lightly kissed her forehead.
Smoochâ
âWh-Wh-Wh-WhatâŚ! What are you doing?!â
I smiled softly at her cute reaction as she backed away quickly with her face turning bright red.
âItâs a gift!â
âA g-giftâŚ?â
âNow, if you think of me and call my name, I'll appear anytime, anywhere!â
Canât contact me? Donât have a way to reach me?
Then isnât it fine to just meet and talk directly?
Getting back might be a problem, but with this, Iâve secured a way to stay in touch, soâsuccess!
âHehe, what do you think?â
As I spoke, Seo-ah absentmindedly touched her forehead, then opened her mouth.
âUm, c-can you explain that one more time?â
âIf you think about me and call my name, Iâll come to you, no matter where or when. Itâs not hard! You just have to think of me while calling my name.â
âSarah.â
âHehe, Iâm right in front of you right now, though.â
âAh, true.â
She gave a wry smile, then after a pause, spoke again.
"Just one more time. Can you do it again?"
I blinked at her careful, almost shy request.
Did she mean the explanation?
âWas my explanation that hard to understand?â
Did she get hit with the classic melee-fighter syndrome of having more muscle than brain?
Did she end up training her muscles so hard that her brain got caught up in it too?
No, that couldnât be it.
âIf you call my nameââ
âNo, not that.â
She interrupted me, smiling playfully and gently tapping her forehead.
âAh, I can do that much for you!â
I'm not doing this with any bad intentions!
I'm agender anyway so I have no sexual desire, and outwardly we're both women, so it's okay, right!
What about the me who used to be a man, you ask?
The me who used to be a man agrees too, so what's the problem?
What idiot would refuse when a cute and pretty girl asks for a kiss?
With angel, body, and mind all in unanimous agreement, I approached to kiss her forehead.
Just as I was about to...
âYou seduced me first.â
âHuh?â
Seo-ah's hands gently cupped my cheeks, and she lifted her head.
Chu...
A moist sound, different from the dry sound of lips touching a forehead.
A soft, warm temperature touching my lips.
â...!?â
Now it was my turn to be surprised.
I was so shocked I almost forgot I was floating in the air and nearly fell to the floor.
Whoosh!
Seo-ah caught me and pulled me into a tight embrace, continuing the kiss.
âMmph...! Mmm...â
Her tongue slipped between my lips, tapping against my teeth.
Startled, I unconsciously opened my mouth, and her tongue entered deeper.
I twisted my body to escape, but with one arm around my waist and her other hand pressing the back of my head, I couldn't get away.
âChup... Hah, chu...â
Pop, pop, pop.
Small sparks flew in my head.
Seo-ah's desire for me touched the love inside me.
I wiggled my toes and squeezed my legs together for a moment.
âHah...â
She released me first.
A silvery thread of saliva stretched between us.
I shuddered at the cold sensation of saliva on my chin, and Seo-ah wiped her own mouth with the back of her hand before using her thumb to wipe my chin.
âSince we won't see each other for a while, it's okay to be a little greedy, right?â
After looking at her in a dazed state for a long time, I covered my face with both hands and nodded shyly.
Seo-ah, you're too much of a player...
On our last day together, both Seo-ah and I made an unforgettable memory.
***
After making an unforgettable memory, I left Seo-ah's house and headed straight for City C.
And then...
[Unidentified organic lifeform detected. Surrender immediately.]
[Unidentified organic lifeform detected. Surrender immediately.]
[Unidentified organic lifeform detected. Surrender immediately.]
[Unidentified organic lifeform detected. Surrender immediately.]
âHeheâŚâ
âŚI ended up surrounded by hundreds of drones.
How did it come to this?
