**One Kick Girl — Chapter 114:
"Raon Tries To Be Normal For One Day (This Was A Mistake)"**
Comedy–slice-of-life meltdown • Raon POV • Shion on standby
---
1. The Decision
Raon woke up with a thought.
A dangerous thought.
"I'm going to be normal today."
The room went silent.
Even the air conditioner hesitated.
Shion, halfway through pouring coffee, froze.
"…Define 'normal.'"
Raon stretched.
"No fighting. No kicking. No crises."
The coffee machine exploded.
Shion stared at the wreckage.
"…The universe disagrees."
Raon pointed confidently.
"See? Already testing me."
---
2. Normal Step One: Breakfast
Raon entered the cafeteria.
No alarms. No pop-ups. No screaming.
Just food.
She stared at the counter.
Options.
Too many options.
Yuno waved.
"Morning! What're you getting?"
Raon squinted at the menu.
"I don't know."
Yuno blinked.
"…You always get the same thing."
Raon nodded.
"That's the problem."
She leaned closer.
"…What if I don't like it today?"
Yuno's smile cracked.
"…Raon, are you okay?"
Raon ordered something new.
A salad.
The room gasped.
Manager Kimchi fainted.
Raon poked it with a fork.
"…This tastes like trust issues."
---
3. Normal Step Two: Walking Outside
Raon walked through the city.
No patrol.
No objectives.
Just sidewalks.
She stopped at a crosswalk.
The light was red.
She waited.
Her leg twitched.
A car honked.
Someone jaywalked.
Raon inhaled sharply.
Shion (through comms): "Breathe."
Raon exhaled.
"…I could clear this intersection in one kick."
"Yes. And you will not."
Raon vibrated.
Then—
The light turned green.
Raon crossed.
She had waited.
She whispered:
"…I'm powerful."

4. Normal Step Three: Talking To Strangers
A street vendor smiled at her.
"First time here?"
Raon panicked.
"Yes."
"No?"
"Maybe."
The vendor laughed.
"What'll it be?"
Raon froze.
Choice paralysis.
Shion whispered through comms:
"Just… answer."
Raon pointed.
"That thing."
The vendor handed her something fried.
She bit it.
Her eyes widened.
"…This is good."
The vendor grinned.
"See? Normal."
Raon nodded solemnly.
"…I will protect this stall with my life."

5. Normal Step Four: Emotions (Oh No)
Raon sat on a bench.
Kids played nearby.
A dog chased a drone.
Someone argued about music.
Raon felt something unfamiliar.
Not anger. Not excitement.
…Contentment.
It scared her.
"…Shion?"
"Yes?"
"…What if I don't need to fight today?"
Shion paused.
"Then today has done its job."
Raon frowned.
"…Is it okay to feel useless?"
Shion's voice softened.
"You're not useless when you're resting."
Raon leaned back.
"…I don't like how calm this feels."
"That's growth."
"I want a refund."

6. The Tiny Crack Appears
Across the street—
A man stood on a box.
He held a sign:
"I CAN TELL YOU WHAT TO DO."
People stopped.
Listened.
The man smiled.
"You look confused. Lost. Tired of choices."
Raon stiffened.
Shion's voice sharpened.
"…Raon. Eyes on him."
The man continued:
"I have a system. Simple. Clean. Easy."
People nodded.
Raon felt it.
That itch.
That old pressure.
"…He sounds wrong."
Shion whispered:
"Because he is."
---
7. Raon Does Not Kick (Yet)
The man spoke louder.
"No fear. No doubt. Just instructions."
Raon stood.
Her leg twitched.
The man pointed at her.
"You. Strong one. You're tired of thinking, aren't you?"
Raon clenched her fists.
"…I am tired."
The crowd leaned in.
The man smiled wider.
"Then let me decide for you."
Raon took a step forward—
Then stopped.
She remembered the crosswalk.
The salad.
Waiting.
Choosing.
"…No."
The man blinked.
"…What?"
Raon stood tall.
"I choose messy."
The man's smile flickered.
Shion exhaled.
"That's my girl."
---
8. The Man Retreats (For Now)
The man stepped down.
"This isn't over," he said softly. "People always come back."
He vanished into the crowd.
Raon watched him go.
Her heart pounded.
"…I didn't kick him."
Shion smiled through the comms.
"I noticed."
Raon looked at her leg.
"…It was harder than kicking."
"Yes."
Raon laughed.
"…Normal is terrifying."
---
9. End Of The Day
That night, Raon collapsed onto her bed.
Muscles sore.
Brain tired.
No explosions.
No villains defeated.
She stared at the ceiling.
"…I did it."
Shion's voice came softly.
"You did."
"…Can I be abnormal tomorrow?"
Shion laughed.
"Absolutely."
Raon smiled.
"…Good."
Outside, the city slept.
And somewhere—
A system without a name continued to gather believers.
