The Villains Became Obsessed Bosses

Part 2 Episode 4: What is Justice?

Another one. Again. Again. Again.

High heels make a regular sound as they step on the wide hallway.

Like a metronum.

Ttogak. Again. Again.

The sound that was made in such a regular rhythm soon stopped in front of a door.

“… Haa…”

The regular rhythm soon turned into a handful of sighs containing irregular worries.

Kikiiik.

The door is open.

“Sister!!! You’re here!!!”

A beautiful-looking girl ran up with her long black hair and was embraced by a sharp-looking woman.

“How many times have I told you to call me team leader instead of unnie?”

The woman named her team leader pushed her girl away and admonished her.

“hehehe. It’s been a while, so I’m glad I did.”

The girl who withdrew her cheekily scratching her neck smiled and took her seat.

The round table was painted with pure white paint, which seemed to create a sense of intimidation and a heavy and solemn atmosphere.

However, the girl suppressing even that atmosphere and radiating her own vitality contaminates everything around her with her own atmosphere.

Seeing such a girl, the woman lifted her glasses as if she was in trouble, and looked at the man sitting next to her.

“At times like this, you, the manager, have to step in.”

The manager, who was almost lying on his chair, said.

“What’s the matter? You should let yourself do what you want to do. If you act like that these days, I’ll listen to you.”

“..Keep your posture straight.”

“That’s exactly what it is.”

The manager acted as if nothing was wrong, but when the team leader opened his eyes, he straightened up and sat down.

“Is it possible? Of course I have to correct my posture.”

“…Ha. It’s important, so listen carefully. You included.”

“..hehehe..”

After seeing the girl who had corrected her posture and her manager, the team leader let out a sigh of relief and muttered softly.

“…It’s so difficult to just deliver the mission… I’m really… Worried.”

The team leader put down the white pad he was holding and turned the screen to show it to the girl and the manager.

“..What is this?”

“A few days ago Magical Girl Division stole a piece of the future. Here’s what it says.”

“..Divination?”

The girl and the manager, both interested in the word divination, leaned over and looked down at the pad.

It was written there.

「The one who holds the harpoon will come. Whoever holds the harpoon will pierce the lives of many. There is only one person who can oppose it. This terrible thing can be prevented by the sacrifice of the one who protects and rules the sea.”

“…Short?”

“..And it’s very abstract. Divination is like that.”

As if he had lost weight, the manager leaned back on the chair and said curtly.

“So. Why are you showing this to us?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

The team leader’s gaze turned to the girl.

“..Damn it. Yes. No. Wait a minute. Maybe not us. Divination prophecies are notoriously vague and abstract.”

“Therefore, there is a large department that specializes in interpreting Divination prophecies. This interpretation is the conclusion of that department after long deliberation.”

“..So. What. Are you saying you want to sacrifice a magical girl?”

The team leader looked down at the pad and shook his head.

“No. Opposite.”

“…The opposite..?”

The girl asked.

And the team leader.

The cruel adult looked at the girl quietly.

“..Chief? Surely not?”

“..That’s right. If you know the prophecy, you should stop it from coming true.”

Sure. Shuk.

The team leader operated the pad and turned the screen.

A picture soon appeared.

“..What is this?”

The manager asked in bewilderment.

“..The most likely suspects. So, the ones with the highest probability of being the ‘harpooner’.”

The manager’s and the girl’s expressions rotted at the same time.

“Are you kidding me? This is a family picture. Are you sure the whole family is a suspect?”

“..That’s right.”

“…Huh. Divination’s prophecy is also out of date.”

Bang.

The girl spurred her seat and stood up.

“Something must be wrong. I’ll go check it myself…”

“Sit down.”

The team leader said in a sharp voice.

“There’s still a lot of evidence. Look to the end and tell me.”

“…”

The girl sat back in her seat.

The team leader operated the pad again.

And this time, a short video came out.

There, a small boy was hiding in an alley, guarding his surroundings.

‘…What is it?’

The girl was puzzled.

The question was soon resolved.

Shook.

The boy’s figure disappeared in an instant.

“..This is the data found by the Villain Investigation Team a few days ago. Since I’m still a child, I tracked him down to get him some sort of edification for the villain… And this came out.”

Suck. Skip.

The team leader operated the pad again.

This time, one picture came out.

There, the boy from the video just entered the house and was talking to a man who seemed to be the boy’s father.

In the hands of the boy’s father…

There was something that looked like a shiny harpoon.

“……”

“…….”

“…….”

The team leader, manager, and girl didn’t say anything for a while.

Because it was very clear evidence.

“..Our Peacekeeper has come to a conclusion. There is very clear evidence. If this is clear evidence, we know what will happen.”

“…Sister. Seol…”

The girl tried to say something.

“Everyone in the family must be killed. Before any human harm is done.”

“Don’t f*ck with me!”

The manager jumped out of his seat and stood up.

“I’d rather just kill the men, but I’d understand. Killing the whole family is a f*cking thing from where on earth…!”

Boom!

From noble mtl dot com

The team leader hit the desk again.

“..Listen to the end.”

“…….”

The team leader frowned and adjusted his glasses.

“The Prophecy Interpretation Team also came up with this interpretation. There was never a saying that there was only one ‘one who held the harpoon’. Perhaps it meant one group.”

“…….”

“…I analyzed this boy’s abilities and found that he could only teleport in a straight line. I interpreted this as a ‘harpoon’.”

It was a forced interpretation.

“..What is that…”

“I can’t help it.”

The team leader closed his eyes for the first time.

“..The interpretation team judged that if only the child’s father was killed, the child’s vengeful spirit would awaken the child as another ‘harpoon holder’. Although the daughter and mother are incompetent… But still the same. The odds are slim, but it’s a matter where many people’s lives are at stake. You can’t rely on the odds.”

The team leader looked at the girl.

“..You, the subject of the prophecy, have to do it.”

The girl’s expression is distorted with despair.

The team leader held the girl’s hand tightly.

“I have to.”

********

A little time has passed.

Jerbug. That buck that buck that buck

The manager was heading somewhere with a black envelope.

“Damn it. The weather is filthy nice.”

The manager walked away swearing and looked up at the sky.

The embroidery left by the Milky Way across the sky and the night sky full of stars caught the manager’s eye.

“…..”

The manager soon entered a building and took the elevator.

Weiying.

The elevator defies gravity.

Go up against the guilt.

“…..”

Ding.

The elevator reached the rooftop.

The manager got off the elevator.

“..Can you calm down?”

The manager walked forward and said.

“..No…Hiccup.”

The girl was sitting down and drinking something.

The liquid in the green bottle quickly enters the girl’s mouth.

“..I fell for this. Originally, I shouldn’t drink alcohol, but they gave me permission.”

The manager lightly hit the girl on the head and sat down next to her.

“..Can you do it?”

“…Can I tell you the truth?”

“Do it.”

“..I can’t do it. To kill people who haven’t done anything wrong just because there’s a chance they’ll do something wrong in the future…”

The manager and the girl were silent for a moment.

“…Eh.”

Tddak.

After opening the green bottle, the manager took one shot of the liquid.

“..f*ck! It’s f*cking hot.”

The manager wiped her mouth roughly and looked up at the sky with a red face and said to the girl.

“..What can I do? I have no choice but to think that I am dealing with the villains. I must prevent future massacres.”

“…….”

“…Protect people. Stop villains. A righteous magical girl, right?”

The girl turned to the manager and said.

“Justice? What is justice?”

What is justice?

Can this be called justice?

“The justice I learned from Blue Ocean wasn’t like this. This is justice…”

“No.”

The manager cut off the girl.

“We are justice. We must be justice.”

Tddak.

The bottle was broken.

It went into the manager’s mouth again.

The manager’s feelings were not too different from that of the girl.

Guilt presses the heart.

Anxiety entangles the brain.

What is justice?

What is illegal?

What is a line?

What is evil?

I ask you guys.

Are you really just?

Is justice that is realized illegally really true justice, or is it just another illegality?

The manager gave up answering these questions.

Just cover your ears.

Blindfolded.

Away from the truth.

Has carved a false mark of justice upon himself.

“We are justice. We are not outlawed. We are justice.”

The girl looked at the manager in silence, then turned her head to the sky.

“..The night sky is pretty today..”

Then the girl finally shook her head.

“..I can’t.”

It was too heavy a burden for a girl who loved justice to bear.

“…..”

The manager waited patiently and took out something from the black envelope and handed it to the girl.

“..I will help you choose. Don’t worry. You won’t get addicted. It’s a new drug family product, so the effect will be certain.”

The girl held her little syringe in her hand.

“..Manager oppa!”

The girl shouted.

The manager also shouted at him.

“Then what will we do! We are justice! We must act as justice!”

Quack.

The manager’s rough hand grabbed the girl’s shoulder.

“You have to! You have to!”

The manager called her name with a frightening force.

“You must do it Casshallo Blanche!!”

Casshallo Blanche blankly looked back and forth between her manager and the syringe in her hand.

What is justice?

Are you justice?

The manager refused to answer this question.

In the end.

The girl also gave up.

Hook.

The syringe digs into the flesh.

The drug got into her system and started making its way straight to her brain.

“…Ugh…!”

Grabbing her head, Blanche took off.

Towards a peaceful family home.

Flies across the night sky like the beautiful Milky Way.

“aaa!!”

Tears of repentance fall like stars.

But.

The drug stopped the tears.

Casshallo invades Blanche’s brain and subdues her emotions.

Down there.

Under that deep consciousness.

Emotions are blunted.

The hesitation is gone.

Quaaa.

The speed increases.

Caschalo Blanche started plummeting toward the ground.

I met eyes with a woman who was looking at me in horror.

Quaaagh.

*******

“Ugh… Uh…”

Caschalo Blanche came to his senses.

Smoke is rising all around.

Maybe this is hell.

The blunted feelings have yet to return.

Jerbug. That buck

Casshallo Blanche walked across the ruins in her daze.

“Ugh…Ah…”

As Casshallo Blanche was walking along, she heard someone moaning.

The original Cassallo Blanche would have helped the wounded.

But.

But not anymore.

Cathalo Blanche grabbed his head and muttered coldly.

“f*ck… The new drug family product is so effective… Was it too much to fly after drinking the medicine…?”
