Chapter 40 : Revenge, and Doubt
The ability to see distant objects with perfect clarity. Clairvoyance (千里眼).
It was an incredible power—one that could pierce even the inside of buildings if the user focused. But looked at another way, it was an ability with little use beyond observation.
A dark night, with even the moonlight hidden behind clouds.
Amid the sharp, biting wind, faint sobbing could be heard.
Belicia saw it.
Е̂.n̄ ũm̀ а̄ . і́d
She saw Ayla, surrounded by the magical girls of Stellis, stabbing her own chest.
From several kilometers away, it looked as clear as if it were happening right in front of her. Because of that, Belicia knew—Ayla’s wound was fatal. There was no saving her. No miracle in the world could change that.

More than once, she felt the urge to rush out.
She wanted to put a bullet through the heads of those disgusting enemies with the gun in her hands.
But she couldn’t.
The moment she aimed her gun with killing intent, her position would be exposed. Even if the enemy claimed to follow a no-kill policy, there was no guarantee that applied to someone who had targeted their family.
Ẇѐ b̈n̆ оv̄ е̌ l̆ Ѐ n̆ um̊ ȧ
The image of Eve’s furious blade severing her neck rose unbidden in her mind.
“…I’m sorry.”
She swallowed back the sobs threatening to escape and whispered an apology.
She wasn’t afraid of dying.

From the moment she became a magical girl and killed another human to survive, she’d always known she might meet a similar end.
She just didn’t want to die a meaningless death.
Е n̈ü m̀ӑ
She didn’t want to vanish like a nameless extra from a novel—without avenging the sister she loved, leaving behind nothing but a single line of text.
“Unni…”
Belicia’s gaze shifted to the department store, now wrapped in a new barrier.
Even with her clairvoyance, she couldn’t see what was happening inside after Ayla’s death.
Maybe they were cutting out Ayla’s heart and extracting the Starlight.
She covered her mouth, forcing her ragged breathing down.

As her hands trembled, she tightened her grip on the gun. She couldn’t afford to give the enemy any clue to her location.
Endure it. Endure it again. Endure it all—
So that someday, she could take revenge.
…Revenge?
Was that even possible?
Belicia’s ability was clairvoyance—a trash-tier power that was useless in a fight.
W̄е̇ ḃ.ñ ӧ v е̂ ľ Ē n um̂a
She’d survived this long only because Ayla had protected her from enemies who counterattacked after her sniping. Ayla used illusions to deceive them, giving Belicia time to relocate and ambush again.
Without Ayla, Belicia was nothing more than a sniper with slightly better eyesight.

Against enemies who could dodge even silent bullets fired from kilometers away, she was utterly helpless.
Her gaze slid down to the gun in her hands.
Wouldn’t it be better to die here than to live in fear, wondering when her allies might turn on her and discard her?
Ayla had been more than a partner to her.
Ёnŭ m̈a . i̇ d
She’d been the one who suggested teaming up with Belicia, despite her worthless ability.
If not for her, Belicia would’ve ended up like the three girls who’d been casually cut down by the Sword Demon—used and thrown away.
She was a mentor. And with no family to speak of, the only person Belicia could truly hold onto.
Belicia had no confidence she could live in a world without her.

Click.
The cold barrel of the gun pressed against her head.
Ẁе́ b̈ ńо̀ vël_ Ё n ǔ m̊ а
The firearm, now reduced to handgun size, was firmly against her temple.
Is this really enough for you?
Just as she squeezed her eyes shut and prepared to pull the trigger—
A devil’s whisper came from behind her.
“If it were me, I don’t think I’d be satisfied with that.”
“…Why are you here?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Oh, nothing big. I just thought I’d provide a bit of aftercare. You could say I played a part in how things turned out, after all.”
“Shut up!”
Bang!
Belicia grabbed Teresi by the collar and slammed her into the rooftop door.
Teresi’s body swayed like a puppet with its strings cut.
“That’s quite a violent way to say thank you.”
Ẽ n u m̄ ȧ
Even while being threatened, Teresi’s voice remained relaxed.
That only made Belicia angrier.

“If you’d helped just a little more—! Sister could’ve lived!”
“And would that really have changed anything?”
“Clinging to life by relying on others just leaves you trembling in fear, waiting to be hunted someday. That girl fought desperately to change her fate—and unfortunately failed by the narrowest margin. Isn’t that right?”
The strength drained from Belicia’s grip.

“For what it’s worth, I did my best, you know? Who do you think kept the other magical girls from interfering?”
“You expect me to save someone who lost on the battlefield with the highest odds of victory? That’s just pathetic.”
“Then why are you here?”
Freed from Belicia’s grasp, Teresi calmly brushed the dust from her chest.

“I told you. Aftercare.”
She reached into empty space and pulled something out.
E n ům̆ а
A Starlight, red as fresh blood. Top-grade, without a doubt.
Belicia’s eyes widened.
No way—
“It’s Ayla’s Starlight. Took quite some effort to retrieve it from the enemy.”
“…Unni.”
The Starlight bounced into the air, and Belicia clutched it desperately to her chest.

For a moment, she thought she could feel the warmth of her dead sister.
“…Why give this to me?”
The question came naturally.
In the world of magical girls, Starlight was everything. There was no reason to give it away—especially to someone as overwhelmingly weak as Belicia.
“Because that was her last wish.”
“…Her last wish.”
W е̂ bṅ ӧ vеl̄ Е̂ n̆ u̇ m̀ȧ
“How you use it is up to you. You can keep it as a memento and kill yourself clutching it—or use it as a tool for revenge. Personally, I’d recommend the latter.”
Belicia stared blankly at the Starlight in her arms.

When she looked up, Teresi was gone.
“Revenge…”
The red Starlight glittered under the blue moonlight as the clouds parted.

Outside the monster.
Leaning against the railing, Eve and Rania watched the situation closely, ready to rush in if something went wrong.
“…Did you know?”
“Know what?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“That we could turn into monsters.”
Rania had seen it with her own eyes.
Ёn üm̆ а
The moment Woo-jin inserted the red Starlight into the body, Ayla vanished like mist. What appeared afterward was a type of monster she’d never seen before.
She’d suspected that Starlight wasn’t purely beneficial to magical girls.
But seeing it directly surpassed her imagination.
What kind of principle causes that?What if I end up becoming a mindless monster like that someday?
The doubts gnawed at her mind, making her feel like she might throw up.
Still, she endured it—pretending to be her usual self—because she didn’t want to worry the two who were handling the most critical part.

“I didn’t know either.”
“…Yeah. Thought so.”
Rania nodded at Eve’s delayed reply.
If Eve had known, there was no reason she wouldn’t have warned her.
Her gaze followed the direction where Woo-jin had disappeared behind the smoke.
He knew.
Е̄ ǹ ùm̀ а
He knew something even Eve—who had ten years of experience—didn’t. And he acted like it was only natural.
The girl who’d become a monster would probably return to normal soon.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She didn’t know why, but she was sure of it.
Because that guy had moved with such confidence. There was no way he’d fail.
Which only made her more irritated.
He always acted like he knew everything. Always threw himself into danger alone.
Е̊ n u̇ṁ ã . їd
And it wasn’t like he even had the same kind of powers they did.
Then he’d say things like, I’m an adult, I’m a teacher, I’ve always been like this—every excuse sounding equally unhinged.
She really wanted to yell at him, Would it kill you to share information with us?
Rania wasn’t just talking about this incident.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Just looking at Eve made it obvious.
She hadn’t been at the attack site by coincidence—she’d been waiting in advance.
Ẃ е̃b n̄ оvе̄ l Ë ṅ u m̊ а̂
Which meant she’d heard something somewhere and rushed out to save him.
Without telling Rania or Unibel.
Did she think they wouldn’t believe her if she told them?
Either way—
Yeah. It pissed her off.
Watching an “adult” try to shoulder everything alone made her sick.

What does he even think we are? Later, I’m definitely punching him.
Just as Rania made that vow—
Boom.
A muffled explosion rang out from within the thick smoke.
Once it started, the blasts came repeatedly. Each time, the monster let out a pained howl. Wrapped in intense heat, its massive form began to crumble.
For something that had made such a dramatic entrance, its end was surprisingly empty.

…Why aren’t they coming out?
Contrary to expectations, there was no sign of the two yet.

Had something gone wrong inside?
Just as she debated whether to go in and search—
Rania noticed Eve.
Eve stood silently, one hand resting on her sword hilt, eyes fixed on the fog.
Е̄n̄ ü m̈ а
Her expression hadn’t changed much, but Rania had known her long enough to tell.
She was extremely anxious.
Which was strange. Eve was always calm.
…Did they know each other from before?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A memory surfaced.
The guy who’d shown up holding the concert staff ticket she’d given Eve. Eve’s earlier phone call, politely asking about the transfer process.
Ӗ ň u m å . і̌d
Ah.
Thinking it through, Rania realized something.
Eve and that guy looked remarkably alike.
The differences were subtle enough to miss—but obvious once you noticed.
“Could it be—”
“How did you meet him?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Eve’s sudden question cut Rania off.
“Him?”
“…The man who went in with Unibel.”
Eve turned her head slightly, as if uncomfortable asking.
“We met at school.”
“Did you let him get involved on purpose?”
Ẁẽb̃n о̀v́ е l. Е̃ n u mа.
Rephrased, the question meant: Why did you let him step into this world, even though you have the power to stop it?
It wasn’t an accusation—just a genuine question. That was Eve’s kindness.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Well, I did try to stop him at first.”
“And?”
“It didn’t work. He ignored me completely.”
Rania’s words flowed easily, filled with personal grievances from the moment she met him up to now.
W̊ еb̄n̄ ō v е ĺ E numа
It was basically a complaint.
“You should scold him properly later, too. Watching him makes people nervous.”
“…Me?”
Eve’s eyes widened slightly.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Ah. Same reaction as on the rooftop, Rania realized.
Just like Unibel, Eve was hiding her true identity.
E n̆ūmã
She understood why—but it was still frustrating.
She didn’t want to keep watching them pretend not to know each other.
And yet, she hesitated.
Because she’d seen how much it hurt when a secret someone wanted to keep was exposed by another person—through what happened with Unibel.
…Should I just ignore it?
As the fog finally cleared completely and Unibel and Woo-jin emerged, Rania’s thoughts only grew more tangled.

After Unibel and I emerged, having saved Ayla, the chaos inside the department store quickly settled.
Once Ayla lost consciousness, the rock blocking the entrance disappeared.
Noticing this, people rushed to escape—but Rania used her powers to guide them out in an orderly fashion. She explained everything away as a surprise event related to magical girls.
It was absurd—but somehow, it worked.
Watching her silence furious people with a few words was impressive. And seeing her thoroughly delete photos and videos told me this wasn’t her first time.
Е n um̌ а̀
The three magical girls and I stood facing each other in silence, as if we’d agreed to it beforehand.
And now—
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The reason was simple: I’d insisted on staying behind to hand Ayla over to the ambulance.
She didn’t look injured on the outside, but you never knew. There could be invisible aftereffects from temporarily becoming a monster.
When the ambulance arrived, someone would need to explain the situation. And socially speaking, it was easier for an adult to handle that than a minor.
I told them they must be exhausted and should head home first.
Ẇ е b̈n̂.ӧ v̀ еl Е.num̃а
Every single one of them looked dissatisfied.
Rania and Unibel, sure—but Eve?
Why you too?
