A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 226
".....hmm."
After the Shine Tia commotion.
I found all the people who caused this incident, went to their base, destroyed them, and spent time dusting off all their data. Maybe it's because they were kids who wanted to become something like a game's information guild, but there were a lot of them..
Of course, most of the information was not particularly important to us, so we gave it all to Seol-ah Lee....
Still, there is some interesting information..
"Brother, what are you doing??"
"huh? Just keep reading."
Either I know them separately, or I have saved some of them..
...There isn't enough evidence yet, but there are some pretty interesting stories. There is a high possibility that it is fake information, but.
Of course, this too is coming to an end now..
"Let’s do this for today and finish the rest tomorrow, Seo-eun. I think this is enough."
"Haaam. Yes it is."
I almost finished the analysis. I put Seo-eun, who looked sleepy, to sleep first, and then I got ready for bed..
...Although there was a lot of work to do due to their sudden actions, it was still an experience from which I could learn something. First of all, it's been a while since we've seen a group of villains that weren't even mentioned in the original work..
Of course, the villain group that did not appear in the original work is not particularly threatening. It means that the world is floating around. It's like they got caught up in the wrong information this time..
Anyway, that wasn't the problem....
I had a different problem..
"......"
The day before, when I intentionally massaged Stardust's eyes..
From that day on, I started to feel something very uneasy. I feel like I did something I shouldn't have done...
"....ha."
I tried to just ignore it, but somehow as the days went by, my anxiety grew. It feels like my intuition is warning me that something big is about to happen. No, what's the big deal? The villain may not make eye contact with the hero.
but...
'....Well, let’s think about it the other way around..'
I was just messing around with something similar to a terrorist attack when I came across Stardust. But Stardust is intentionally ignoring me. Instead of growling and saying 'Ego stick...!' whenever he sees me like usual, he doesn't even make eye contact and just ignores me. They treat me like I don't exist, as if I'm not a threat..
"hmm...."
...what. Somehow I feel like I did something wrong.
So at night, before I turn off the light and lie down in bed,.
I wandered around the room alone, lost in thought..
...Of course, I know I'm thinking strange things. In the first place, it's not normal for a villain to care this much just because he didn't even make eye contact with the hero and ignored him..
However, when I think about it again, the relationship between me and Stardust is a bit special, unlike others. Aren’t they in an archenemy relationship where they are each other’s main enemy?.
...At that time, should I have at least pretended to know something to Stardus??
".....Ugh, what am I worrying about again?."
After thinking so deeply, I just shook my head. This is too much immersion. There's no way Stardust would care about that in the first place. I guess they just said, ‘He comes and quietly disappears~’.
okay. Let's sleep.
I fell asleep thinking about that.
That day, I had a nightmare..
***
"....Dain oppa, it’s okay.?"
"huh? Ah, Eunwol. uh. are you okay. I just didn't sleep well last night... Haam."
the next morning.
When Eunwol found me dozing off in the living room with dark circles in my eyes, she was startled and asked me a question in a worried voice. I smiled bitterly and waved my hand..
.....Are your dreams a bit confusing these days? Why are you dreaming like this?.
'...Your home is here from now on.'
I think it was a dream where I was imprisoned in a strange place and had a deep conversation with the yellow-haired hero, but I don't remember much. I think Stardust came out because I was thinking about it the night before going to bed....
Anyway, it could be said that it was an extremely unsettling dream, starting with being trapped. Isn't the thing that all villains most afraid of is being dragged away by the hero and trapped?.
"Dain, drink some of this warm food in the morning and get some rest.."
That was when I was lying on the sofa and Eunwol was holding one of my hands and massaging it with both hands, saying he wanted to do something..
Subin, who already knew about my condition, came to me with something warm in a teacup..
"Oh, thank you."
After drinking the warm tea Subin made for me, I felt like I was calming down a bit. The slightly clear light green tea seemed to infuse energy in my mouth. I'm not sure what car it is.
Anyway, with that thought in mind, I naturally turned on the TV in the living room..
Then the screen that was turned off the day before appeared naturally..
[Wicked ego stick again! Trying to blame his crime on another poor civilian named Mr. Kim....]
Today, I saw a satisfactory channel that was airing a broadcast criticizing egoism 24 hours a day, but as soon as I saw this, I could already see Eunwol next to me, who seemed to be in a bad mood in real time, so I quickly decided to switch to another channel..
Then a news program similar to the one I always watch pops up..
Stardust was seen there for the first time in a long time. Stardust is said to have beaten the villain yesterday as well..
Then, the image of Stadus walking away with an expressionless expression after defeating one villain..
I listened with pleasure as the host explained the greatness of Stardust. okay. Our Stardust is amazing,
However, the host who said that added something meaningful before the news ended..
[And it is said that Stardus' facial expression has been a bit expressionless lately. Of course, she was always expressionless, but she said she was a little more scared these days. Did something happen that made her feel bad? Anyway, her villains are all full of anger, so she must be prepared to deal with her..]
"....."
...haha. Our day seems to be in a bad mood these days..? I didn't know because I haven't been to the Starders fan cafe lately. hmm.
...what. Things like that happen, too. Isn’t she human too? In her life, there are happy things and bad things. It can happen regardless of me.
...I guess it's like that?
"....."
...I think we need to come up with something. To get rid of this anxious intuition.
While I was holding my throbbing head, feeling the sense of anxiety that I normally felt grow stronger, Soobin came back and spoke to me in a worried voice..
"Dain, are you still tired??"
"Haha, it will get better soon. Do not worry. I think I was just a little upset because I had a wild dream last night.."
"...still. If you are having trouble sleeping, you can come and sleep in my room. The bed is wide too.."
It was Soobin who said that with a kind smile..
...Aren’t you too kind? Of course, I can't do that because it would be a hassle to Soobin..
I smiled haha and just answered that I knew..
...I feel fortunate that Seo Ja-young or Choi Se-hee didn't hear our conversation. When they hear it, they misunderstand it again..
By the way, why doesn’t Eunwol, who went to wake Seo-eun, come? Is Seo-eun using the high school student’s secret technique, ‘Just 5 more minutes’ again??
Just as I was thinking that, Eunwol came walking holding Seoeun’s hand..
"haam..."
Seo-eun yawning like me.
...Since Seo-eun is a bit weak in the morning, she is always half-asleep in the morning. However, after becoming friends with Eunwol, I wake up a little early thanks to Eunwol..
"Umm... oppa."
Seo-eun came to the sofa and sat next to me..
Then he just naturally leaned on my shoulder and started dozing off..
...Anyway, it will get noisy in a few minutes and it will come to its senses on its own, so let's just leave it alone for now. I'm also tired right now, so I understand how Seo-eun feels..
Anyway, starting today, after reading some information, it is time to start the next operation..
Preparing to hunt down the S-class villain, Scream Maker, has been postponed because of those Saintia guys..
...It will be broadcast again this time, will people like it again?.
***
Scream Maker.
A muscular skinhead villain who attacks by wearing something similar to an oxygen tank that looks like a jetpack on his back and exhaling gas from a hose connected to it..
One of his unique features is that he uses his abilities to create special poison gas. Anyone who inhales even a little bit of the smoke he creates will scream without realizing it. Until death like that.
This guy, who just looks dangerous, was naturally assigned to be an S-class villain in the original work. In fact, as much as his abilities were specialized in multi-fighting, he was also a guy who sent away dozens of civilians at a time..
...in other words. There is a reason why I feel the need to step in and send him away first. It's dangerous, but too many people die in this first terrorist attack. Stardust was okay with a little bit of smoke, but the rest was mediocre. As the original work was a waste, naturally Stardust failed to catch it at first. I felt very distressed in the face of so many civilian casualties..
...And of course I didn't want to see that happen..
How have you maintained the Stardust mentality until now? I can't break it now. Because there are too many casualties.
Finally, I was able to find out some information about this guy, and I planned a plan with Seo-eun and other Ego Stream members..
The atmosphere was good until then. This isn't the first time I've done something like this. but.
"...what? You said you would go alone.?"
When I said I would handle it on my own, the atmosphere suddenly changed..
I felt it when I saw Soobin's worried face and Choi Sehee's face looking at me as if I was saying something nonsense..
...It won't be easy to convince you of this..
This is the last registered session.
