hero association.
In fact, in various hero films, an organization like an association that oversees all heroes always appears..
And what those organizations have in common is that they are always destroyed by internal enemies..
The same goes for this worldview association..
The association, which was somehow managed to run in the early and mid-aughts by an incompetent but still conscientious president, is eventually completely consumed by villain forces in the latter half. And by cleverly leading the heroes into self-destruction and infighting, he contributes greatly to the ruin of the Republic of Korea..
There are other reasons as well, but if I summarize them in one line, they are as follows..
Icicle and Shadowwalker.
Just two people who don't want anything big. Let's recruit just two people..
So I thought of the Shadow Walker from the original work..
Because of his special ability to be invincible at night, his pride is strong, and as a result, he thinks he is very smart, and contrary to his beliefs, uh... okay. Maybe my brain is running at low power because I'm always tired, but it's a bit simple. I saw it in the original, uh. Unlike its powerful abilities, it is rather simple..
And anyway, the most important thing is that I care about my girlfriend very much.
So what is the best way to become his friend??
ah! Wouldn't it be okay to save his girlfriend??
so i came here.
"Hello, Mr. Shadowwalker. It's called ego stick.!"
I said that and smiled brightly..
The first meeting decides everything. He smiled as a ploy to increase his favorability by showing a smile at first impression. Of course it's funny, but anyway.
In an apartment that is approximately 10 stories high at night,.
Facing the cold wind, I said hello to the Shadow Walker beyond the window..
And the Shadow Walker who received my greeting was.
"....am i dreaming now?"
He said that with a slightly embarrassed expression..
From messy hair to dark circles drawn under the eyes as if to advertise ‘I’m tired.’ He's even still wearing his pajamas..
Then, as if he still didn't understand what was going on, he shook out his messy hair with his hand, looked at me, and continued talking..
"....No, it's definitely reality. Then what are you? Are you here to turn yourself in??"
He's still looking at me like he doesn't understand.
He was holding his forehead as if he was dizzy, and I opened my mouth, still grinning..
"Could that be possible? Of course, I came for a different reason.."
"No... how on earth did you find out about my house before that? What on earth...."
"I'm going to tell you something important now. listen carefully."
"....Can't you just listen after I hold you here??"
"First of all, this is not what I did. So don't get excited and listen carefully.."
"....no. Think about it from your perspective. If you're at night and a hero comes to your window and knocks on it, you'll get agitated, won't you??"
"I didn't do it, I heard it too.."
"...what. What."
"Your girlfriend was kidnapped by some gang.."
"......"
And the moment I said those words.
His mood, which had seemed foolish just a moment ago, changed in an instant..
"No, I said I didn't do it. Take that scythe away."
I said angrily when I saw him summoning a scythe made of shadows in his hand..
I knew it would be like this, the villain is sad, sad. Even if he does good things, he is suspected, so will he live with this unfairness? uh?
"....You didn't do it?"
"No, think about it. If it was me who did it, why would I come here and report it man-to-man? Just broadcast it."
"...okay. broadcast. Didn't you just broadcast this??"
"Don't sound weird, this is off the record. It's just a conversation between you and me."
"No shit... Sook-hee, Sook-hee was kidnapped? how do you know that?"
"There is nothing in this world that I don’t know, you just need to know that. And here it is."
Seeing him panicking at my sudden words, I quickly handed him a map. Actually, I didn't plan on giving it to him already, but I could see that he was losing his temper quickly, so I gave it to him. If there is a little delay, 'You kidnapped me, right?' He said he looked like he was going to swing that scythe at me..
".....What is this?."
"Well, whatever. These are the coordinates of the factory area where your girlfriend was kidnapped. It's a gift."
"......"
And as soon as I finished speaking, he just teleported away using shadow movement..
....? just went?
".....Um, uh. He went right away."
So I stood alone outside the empty window..
...No, no matter how distracted I was, I didn't even attack or tie them up or anything, I just disappeared..
If it was a trap in the first place, why on earth would they do that? Of course, how much of a threat can a shadow walker be at night?.
"Behemoth, it's a shame.."
I gave deep words of comfort to the Behemoth I packed in my coat. It's been a while since I used Behemoth, but I'm not getting much benefit from it. The only thing that can deal with Shadow Walker's darkness is Behemoth, so I brought it with me, but Shadow Walker left without even asking, so I left....
[Dyne! What happened? Why hasn't the fight started yet??]
"ah. Desik is an old man. Well, um. There is no fighting today. Just sleep.."
[what!]
And the Death Knight who is trapped as a soul in a ring. It was disappointing even for him who was expecting a fight..
No, I really thought we'd fight at least once.
My original plan was this.
I tell you that your girlfriend was kidnapped by Shadowwalker. Then Shadow Walker gets angry and says, 'You kidnapped me!!' and attacks me. Then I use Behemoth and Death Knight to confront him. And then I gently convinced him that it wasn't me and sent him to that factory area....
mom. From the moment he heard what I said, he started to sweat a little and became anxious, but as soon as he received the instructions, he quickly teleported away and disappeared..
"....what. Good is good."
Looking at that, I think I understand why he gradually darkened after his girlfriend died..
With that in mind, I came back down to the first floor..
Black car parked ahead of time in a dark alley.
I got on there very naturally and opened my mouth..
"Mr. Subin. I'm here."
"Oh my, Mr. Dain. You came early.?"
"yes. I thought they were going to fight, but they didn't fight. Anyway, I move quickly. Is the destination set??"
"yes. It's towards the factory.."
"great. Let's leave right away."
So we started running through the dark streets of the night..
...Shadow Walker, he has outstanding abilities and can teleport there in an instant, but if I do that, I will vomit and die. How far is it from here to there?.
"....."
And now that I think about it, if I had known it would turn out like this, I would have gone alone without calling Soobin..
I was more than 90% sure that the fight with Shadow Walker was unavoidable, so I had Subin on standby in case he got injured along the way, but he was fine, so I feel a bit sorry. I can drive.
Feeling a little sorry, I got into the car and headed to the factory area..
Still, the backrest is soft, and Subin said it was good because it was just the two of us for the first time in a while, so I guess it was okay.?
While chatting about this and that, we soon arrived at the factory area..
Abandoned factory on a naughty night.
There's probably a Shadowwalker in there trying to control the gang..
With that in mind, I moved toward the factory..
I have to talk to Shadowwalker and then leave..
***
"Wow!!"
"Tsk."
Shadow Walker, Jahyun Kim clicked her tongue..
It's been a long time since we last disposed of all the gang members occupying this factory..
"...ha. What's going on?..."
Free all the kidnapped and unconscious hostages..
He went out, taking care of his girlfriend who was in the middle of it all..
"....I almost got into big trouble.."
He muttered while holding his unconscious girlfriend in his arms..
Fortunately, she is sleeping peacefully without any injuries..
...I almost got into real trouble..
He remembered what he had just seen..
Gangsters holding guns and laughing, wondering who they should shoot and kill first..
He rolled his eyes at the sight and disposed of it all in an instant..
The dizzying feeling still remained..
I could have lost her to those bastards..
....If it weren't for him
"Hello, Mr. Shadowwalker. It looks like you handled it neatly. You are amazing."
"....ego stick."
Kim Ja-hyeon, who came out with his girlfriend in his arms, looked at Ego Stick congratulating him while standing in a wide open space and recited briefly..
He is wearing a black hat, a black cape, and black clothes, and is covering half of his face with a white mask..
...Thanks to that guy, I was able to save her..
"...."
He quickly reviewed the information he knew about Ego Stick..
Ego stick. Even though he wasn't really interested in what happens during the day, he's someone I've heard of countless times..
The most famous villain in Korea and also the most popular. I heard that they cause terrorism but never cause casualties, and sometimes prevent other villains from causing terrorism..
Yes, I heard a lot about that too through rumors. I heard that Stardust also cares a lot about him..
Actually, I wasn't that interested in it..
This is a different story..
"....Ego stick. Aren't you definitely a villain? why did you help me?"
okay.
That was Jahyun Kim’s biggest curiosity..
Aside from knowing his identity, why did you tell him that his girlfriend was kidnapped??
And to his own question, the egoistic man just grinned and answered..
"well. Why??"
"...."
"Just take it easy. A villain doesn't necessarily have to do bad things, right? Heroes aren't always good, and sometimes they do bad things. I can do good things sometimes too.."
"...?"
What bullshit.
Kim Ja-hyun almost held back those words from coming out of her mouth..
Whatever it is, it was Ego Stick who actually saved her..
Instead, Jahyun Kim shook her head..
His girlfriend Sook-hee always calls him ignorant, but Kim Ja-hyun firmly believes in it himself. That's because he doesn't use his brain, but when he does, he's very smart..
Then he started to shake his head..
Ego stick. Although he is a villain, he usually causes no casualties in terrorist attacks and instead hunts other villains. If you look at it up to that point, you can see that the villain is still a villain..
"....thanks. Is there anything you want??"
"Hehe. Please do not tell the association or anyone else that I helped you. If you just do that, I don't want anything more.."
In addition, by informing the hero that another hero's lover has been kidnapped, the crime is prevented and the hostages are saved.?
So his brain came up with a result..
This guy was a good guy.
"I get it. There must be something going on with you too."
Shadowwalker concluded that.
Considering that he already saved the life of his girlfriend, who is more precious than anything else, his favorability towards Ego Stick has long since gone through the ceiling. Plus, he doesn't seem like a particularly bad guy, and his likeability has doubled..
He even left a message asking others not to know about his good deeds and then disappeared without a trace..
Isn’t this a true man?.
"...Ego stick. He was a good guy. Of course I knew from the start."
"Yes..."
"Hey Sookhee! I woke up?"
So that night.
That night was the moment when, as naturally as water, two of Korea's three A-list heroes sided with Ego Stick..
***
"....?"
Stadus, who was alone in his room, was caught by a strange sensation..
what? I feel like everyone is doing something while I'm the only one being left out..
"...I guess it's my mood."
So she dismissed her hard-working intuition today as just her mood..
...Leaving behind only a bit of discomfort.
