A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 280

A labyrinth created by Dungeon Maker.

In that dark hallway, Starthers was walking quietly..

While holding the ego stick's hand tightly.

"...."

Suppressing the sound of her pounding heart, she walked down the street..

She couldn't tell how amazing it was to hold hands like this and how her heart was racing..

However, your palm and the ego stick's palm are touching tightly, as if they were glued together..

Feeling his cold skin slowly regaining warmth thanks to his warm hands..

I felt his fingers wrapping around the back of my hand..

Excited. Exciting.

Stadus was just silently realizing that for some reason his heart continued to beat..

...It was dark, so it was a good thing.

Because he won't be able to see your red face..

Starders held on to Egostick's hand and walked down the dark hallway with him..

I thought quietly as I watched Ego Stick walking forward without hesitation while holding her hand..

...It seems that Ego Stick roughly knows the system of this labyrinth. but. Because it's rare that Ego Stick didn't know until now..

And that means that it was all for his own sake that he came here. Until now, when he was in a dangerous situation, he always flew away as if he knew it..

Why does ego stick do this to me?.

...What does he think of me?.

Holding hands with the ego stick, feeling the warmth of his body slowly returning. Is it because the two of us are walking together in a space where no one is around, our bare skin touching each other?.

Stardust became more and more curious about him..

Within. On this opportunity that may never come back, I decided to ask him..

What I've always been curious about.

"Hey, ego stick."

"...yes? why are you like that."

He responds like that, flinching slightly at his own words..

Listening to him asking himself that,.

What should I say? She thought for a moment and.

Soon, I asked the main question I wanted to ask without realizing it..

"...Why do you keep helping me??"

okay. she wanted to ask that.

What on earth does he think of himself that makes him go to such lengths for her? Is there a purpose... or is there a feeling?.

She wanted to hear the answer today..

"...haha. What are you talking about? What do you think I helped you with??"

And to the ego stick who is so stubborn.

She quietly and gently explained what he had done so far. From the Moonlight cult leader to the events that took place in the basement of the Bank of Korea. Why do you do it like that?.

Stadus asked Egostick, who was holding hands with him, that question. This time, I really wanted to hear his truth..

"......"

And, Egostick, who was silent for a moment in response to his question,.

Soon, he opened his mouth again and spoke as if nothing had happened..

"That's it, you're my archenemy."

"...That alone explains it."

The moment Stardus was about to refute something he always heard,.

Egostick cut her off and.

With a little laughter.

In the dark, holding her hand.

"and."

"Because you are a precious person to me."

...

Just like that, his words in response rang out in the hallway..

At those words, before Starthers, whose mind had become blank without realizing it, could reply,.

Egostick continued speaking..

He is a villain, so what? He said those things, but that wasn't the point..

"That's why you are precious to me. As I said before, Mr. Starthers, you are the one who completes me in the end.."

"To me, you are more precious than anything else. So I don't want Mr. Starthers to get hurt.."

He smiles and speaks as if he is confiding in himself..

And Stadus could feel it intuitively through his words. He could sense it through the throbbing of the hand that was holding his..

There is no lie in his words.

When he said that she was precious, he was 100% sincere..

...Actually, it was an absurd statement..

A villain values ​​a hero. This doesn't make sense. If other heroes heard this, they might have dismissed it as nonsense. Even if he was sincere, you probably thought he was a weirdo and were offended..

however.

Why?.

"......"

When I heard him say those words, my heart started beating faster than before..

I was a precious person to him..

He was right to think of me as special..

...It wasn't just me..

And as if to relieve any anxiety she had had until now,.

To be sure, Ego Stick said that he thought of me as special..

She seemed to feel something warm deep inside her heart..

She knew too. That this relationship is not normal. The fact that the hero feels this way because of the villain... the reason the villain feels this way about the hero.

still.

'...huh. Because if you're ego-stick, you're not a villain..'

Considering what he has done so far, even if he is a villain, he cannot be said to be a villain. Rather, he could be seen as a good man because he protected the world..

Justifying yourself like that.

She could only reply to his words by saying yes....

Open your mouth now, if you say anything else.

Because he couldn't be sure what he was going to say..

"...."

Like that, Stardus walked hand in hand with Ego Stick for a while..

Feeling the sound of your heart pounding continuously, trying to calm your red cheeks.

***

Since then, quite some time has passed since Stadus walked while holding his hand..

There were a few monsters that came out during that time, but other than that there was no major threat..

Finally, the two were able to reach the white room at the end of the hallway..

"Well, this place looks safe for now.."

When she finally arrived at the light source, she naturally let go of the ego stick..

...For some reason, when I let go of his hand, the air that touched my palm felt cold. She felt like something was missing..

catch some more...

'...what am i thinking.'

Stadus, who had been thinking such things without realizing it, tried to come to his senses and said:.

How can you keep your expression as calm as possible right now? It shouldn't collapse here..

"...What is this room doing??"

Once she said that and looked around, she said that.

...I feel regretful that I have already parted ways with Ego Stick..

okay.

Still, I learned more about him today. I know his sincerity and that he values ​​himself. Because I did it.

The moment she thought that.

bang.

The door they entered together was closed by a white door that suddenly came down..

She and Egostick were locked in a secret room like that..

'...what?'

Just when she was wondering.

The electronic display board on one wall of the white room suddenly began to glow..

There, really suddenly.

letters popped out.

Letters with conditions for escaping the labyrinth.

And Stardus saw that.

".....?"

For a moment, the accident had no choice but to stop..

*

[A room you can't leave without kissing each other]

*

"Wait, what is that?...?"

The letters are coming out like that, shining proudly on the wall..

It took Stadus a while to understand what those words meant..

So, if you want to get out of this room, kiss me... With ego stick?

The moment I understood those words, Stardust. Shin Haru felt the blood rushing to his head..

huh? Key, kiss? suddenly? ...to kiss the ego stick?

"...?"

Shin Haru's head has already been broken for a long time..

Since she had no tolerance for such things, her face was already red and she started thinking about all sorts of things in her head..

".....Uh, yeah. hmm..."

No, I joined hands with Ego Stick today. How can you do something like that already? That kind of thing should be done between lovers... No, right? These days, even friends kiss at least. Is that okay? There's no way it's okay. Still, uh, if you really have to do that to get out of here. It can't be helped, yes, it can't be helped, right? I don't want to do it, but if I have to, yeah. I can't help it, I can't help it... Yes, as a prank by the villain, if it's just once, I can kiss the ego stick......

She was thinking those things with her face so red and her eyes spinning..

Without realizing it, I glanced in Ego Stick’s direction..

"...."

Just like that, Ego Stick was thinking about something with his arms crossed and his chin resting on his chin..

Our eyes met tightly.

And then he walks towards me.

"Mr. Starders."

"Yes?"

Seeing him walking towards me with that serious look on his face..

Stadus felt his heart beating like crazy and thought about all sorts of things with a red face..

Ha, are you doing it? Here and now? Me, I've never done it before, so I don't know how to do it... But, with Ego Stick. Yes...

The moment she unconsciously took a step back and touched the wall, folded her hands over her chest, looked up at him with a face that was red all the way to the tips of her ears and her eyes were trembling, and was about to close her eyes..

He stood in front of her.

"...found."

With those words, he suddenly clenched his fist and delivered a blow to one wall..

and at that moment.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

The back wall collapsed with the sound of something collapsing..

"...?"

When Stadus, who has not yet understood the situation, blinks his eyes and looks back..

Ego Stick, who walked past it, looked in her direction and smiled and said.

"Mr. Stardust! There is a path here. Please follow me!"

"...?"

When she saw Ego Stick's brightly smiling expression, she finally came to her senses and asked:.

"...The conditions for kissing me are...?"

"Of course you don't have to. I'm so glad, haha. I'm sure Mr. Starthers doesn't want to kiss me either.?"

Seeing Ego Stick smiling and talking like that.

Stardust felt some strength draining from his body..

no. So what are my resolutions and thoughts?....

and.

Is that why?.

Stadus, lost in emptiness, unconsciously touched his lips with his finger and muttered..

"...I don't mind doing it as long as it's with you.."

"yes?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

As always, looking at Ego Stick's appearance as if he couldn't hear what he said,.

Stathers shook his head and followed him out..

"...."

Yeah, that's a relief. thank god.

I'm glad I don't have to.

With that in mind, Stadus followed the ego stick to a strange, unknown space..

Quietly, I thought to myself..

...Good luck, is it??

Thank goodness. Fortunately....

why.

Do I feel this much regret?.

***

As always, after finding the loophole in the villain's perception and shattering the walls of the labyrinth,.

As a route to escape from here, I was walking toward the exit while looking ahead, leading Stardust following behind me..

"....."

Excited. Exciting.

'...I don't mind doing it as long as it's with you..'

Thinking about Starther's mutterings I just heard,.

I suppressed my pounding heart as much as possible and walked blindly forward..

...You probably heard it wrong.?

I guess so...?

[???????]

[Is that woman finally going crazy? Why are you holding your head and leaning against the wall?]

[I don't know what it is, but if you seduce a dog, it looks like a dog hahahaha, but it looks good.?]

[Dungeon Maker<<<<<Is it bipolar disorder? I was grinning to myself and suddenly hit the wall with a shotgun and said why??]

[What on earth could have happened inside to make such a sad expression?]

[ㄹㅇI don't know why it's like that, but it feels good anyway. Experience the pain of 1 million viewers.!]

[Scary fact) I have a feeling that what happened there won't be a particularly good thing for us either....]
