A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 229
ep.232
[From what I found out, the villain said he had the ability to create something like poisonous gas. Everyone, please prepare a gas mask at home in case you have the ability to operate an aircraft..]
Shinharu's house.
More precisely, the home of Hero Stardust..
There she was nervously watching the egotik on TV..
'We're trying our best right now, but we don't know. sorry...'
The association has already said for a long time that it is unable to determine his location..
So, she couldn't do anything but watch Ego Stick's broadcast at home right now..
"....."
All she can do is bang on the table nervously and watch him on the screen..
There's only one reason she's so nervous.
It was because I was worried about Ego Stick..
".....Will it be okay?."
She says that with a slightly worried look..
...Of course, it's true that she's been disappointed with Ego Stick lately without realizing it. It was also true that she was planning to catch him somehow..
However, putting all that aside, I felt even more anxious now..
Ego Stick is walking alone through those strange passages and laboratories and is on his way to fight other villains..
The sight of him walking around wearing a gas mask looked surprisingly cool... but that wasn't the problem..
She may not know the others, but she knows because she fought him herself..
It's not obvious because of his usual attitude of always preparing and controlling every situation and his powerful colleagues..
Egostick's pure force itself is very weak..
Therefore, the sight of Ego Stick walking alone down that seemingly dangerous passageway was enough to make his hero, Stadus, uneasy..
...Even his colleagues, who normally didn't like being around him, felt like they had to be there..
That much worry.
Actually, if you think about it, it seemed strange for a hero to be so worried about a villain..
'.....okay. this is not strange.'
It's natural for a hero to worry about his villain. He shouldn't fall at the hands of anyone other than himself. You can't go without being judged by the law..
...And I owed him my life. Even though he said he paid back.
'...Cough. You owe me one.?'
The image of Ego Stick bleeding to death in the basement with his body cut open came to mind once again, and she stared at the screen nervously, biting her lip without realizing that she couldn't do anything right now..
And finally, we met the guy who called himself ‘Scream Maker’, as Egostick said..
[.....A rat came in..]
I saw a bald villain speaking in a mechanical voice so loud that the screen rang, filled with a purple, sticky, poison-like liquid..
Stardust's anxiety grew even more..
...That ego can win?
An ominous intuition that can be felt even when the enemy is beyond the screen..
That villain looked strong at first glance. It's so creepy that a guy like that was living in hiding in this country in the first place..
I was also wondering how Egostick found a guy like that. How are you going to deal with that guy by yourself? She was more curious about that.
[...that gas mask.]
[You seem to know what I'm researching..]
[yes. Isn’t it natural?.]
[.....Right.]
The incomprehensible conversation between the two continues like that..
Soon, with Ego Stick’s final provocation,.
The guy in the barrel grabbed his hand.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
At that moment, the area around Ego Stick suddenly became thick with a dangerous gas that looked like something could be seen on the other side of the screen..
As it was, all the unidentified weapons in the room activated on their own and began targeting the ego stick..
Jiiiiiiing-
"no!"
and then.
Stadus, who was watching the scene, was so shocked that he stood up without realizing it and shouted like that..
however.
As expected, ego-stick was ego-stick..
[Oh my, you prepared all these gifts for me. Thank you, but unfortunately, I will politely decline..]
Just.
He smiles and says that as if there is no problem, then snaps his fingers..
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
And surprisingly, at that moment, all the devices in the room stopped functioning and fell down helplessly..
The barrel also opens and a bald villain is revealed..
I was a guy who was embarrassed and tried to yell something.
-bang.
A guy who falls down with a single shot from an ego stick..
like that.
[yes Today’s revenge ends here..]
After the whole situation was over, it was only then that Ego Stick smiled..
She could breathe a sigh of relief.
"....Ha, really. Trying to make people worry."
She relaxed her body and leaned back, muttering like that..
Only then did I suddenly look back at myself..
"......"
Until today, there was always a time when I made a firm determination, saying that Ego Stick was a bad guy and that I was going to arrest him at all costs..
As if it had been like that for some time, I saw myself sweating with my hands, hoping that he would be safe..
".....hmm."
She felt a little embarrassed about herself, her cheeks turning slightly red..
'...what. Because I have to hold it with my own hands. Things like that happen, too. huh. Since I have to catch the ego stick with my own hand, it would be a big problem if I got caught.?'
After some self-rationalization, I concluded that there was nothing wrong..
Although my cheeks were still red.
She was fanning her face with her hands in an inexplicable heat..
Suddenly, his expression darkened..
...But, what would you do if you were alone like this?.
Anyway, Ego Stick doesn't pay attention to her these days and doesn't even make eye contact with her..
...Am I the only one who thinks he's Arch Enemy and is doing this? In fact, he probably isn't thinking about me at all even now..
And just before she dug into the ground alone with that thought in mind,.
Ego Stick, who was recognizing something on the screen, opened his mouth as if he suddenly remembered something..
[...Also, since this place looks dangerous... I think it would be better if only Mr. Stadus came..
"....!"
The words that came out of his mouth at that time.
Starthers raised his head without realizing it..
[I will tell you the location separately. Well then, let's really go. Well then, that's it!]
And his broadcast was turned off.
Looking at the screen blacked out like that,.
"....."
Stadus sat blankly looking at it..
huh....
what. As expected, I guess I'm the one calling after work is done..
Ugh. Are you always causing trouble and telling me to clean it up? Ha, I wonder if he thinks I'm the hero or his sidekick..
Even though I was complaining like that.
Just the fact that he mentioned her, unlike last time..
Stardust seemed to be in the best mood of the day..
***
a few hours later.
Starders flew towards the address that came to him from an unknown sender..
...Although she does feel slightly better knowing that he contacted her directly rather than through an association. It must be an illusion.
Anyway, since he told her to come only to him, there must be a reason..
With that firm belief, she headed to the place he told her about..
Then we finally arrived at the remote penthouse seen on TV..
She crossed over the door that had already been smashed open by the ego stick and walked inside the hidden place..
Only then was she able to enter the secret laboratory of a guy called Scream Maker..
"....."
And her expression hardens along with it..
A place filled with something that appears to be a dangerous place, where dull-colored experimental subjects are placed..
At a glance, it looked like a biochemical weapon because the label said something like a germ or poison in English..
There was a little blood splattered in the glass laboratory-like place where rats were kept, as if some kind of experiment had been done there..
And there were dozens or hundreds of them..
"....It's bad."
Looking at those scenes, Stadus muttered without realizing it..
...This villain was growing his power while avoiding his eyes..
I feel terrible just thinking about it.
Holding her dizzy head like that, she continued to move inward..
Deeper, into the deepest room where Egostick fought against the villain..
Soon, she finally arrived.
She was at a loss for words as she looked at the place, which seemed incomparably more dangerous than before..
...What is the problem with Korea? Why are there so many vicious and powerful people in such a small country?.
...Really, if there was no ego stick.
Until the day before this villain carried out the terrorist attack, he must have been unaware of anything and then suffered..
She looked around and pondered those thoughts..
Soon, I found something.
"....?"
In front of the dull and bleak monochromatic gas cylinder.
Yellow post-it note that sticks and stands alone.
The sight that caught her eye so much that she walked there without even realizing it..
There, in scrawled letters, it was written:.
[danger! Never open it. There is a gas inside that will kill you instantly if you ingest even a small amount. No matter how much it is, it is dangerous, so do not drink it. Please report it to the association and dispose of it safely..]
[-ego stick.]
"......ah."
And that post-it note.
Stardust, without realizing it,.
For a long time, I watched.
After standing for a moment, I put it down and looked around again..
Numerous post-it notes visible everywhere.
[When turned on, the machine gun fires from the left wall. Never touch it.]
[When operated, instant death gas flows out from the ceiling. I hope you don't kiss me just in case!]
[It appears to be a ventilation button. Since there is a gas mixed with poison stored inside, I think it would be better to inform the association later and dispose of it..]
so spread out.
Egoistic handwritten letters written for herself.
Anyone can see that he is worried about her, thinking that he might get hurt if he touches her casually..
Even in the scrawled letters, I felt it so well.
Starders is.
I feel like all the knots that have been buried in my heart are being released..
she muttered helplessly.
"If this happens... really. haha..."
...i want you.
I can't hate you.
Any villain. Who would do this?.
[All poisons have been removed. Well, just in case, don't touch it..]
And the villain's body is finally visible at the end..
Perhaps he was worried that he might step on it, as he looked at the purple liquid that had been cleaned up and placed inside the broken aquarium..
She smiled once more, then turned her attention away from the corpse..
...I don't know what he's doing.
This guy, yeah. Guess he deserved to die.
And rather than that.
She was interested in the last post-it note on the ego stick placed next to it..
"...What is this?"
[For you, Stardus.]
The letter started with that familiar sentence:.
