A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 325

 "The 3rd Egostream meeting begins."

 Finally, when Ego Stick was close to retirement,.

 The last meeting has begun.

   Conference room inside Egostream's underground mansion.

 There, women's voices were echoing..

 "therefore. Now that Dain has retired, he can do whatever he wants.?"

 A woman with yellow hair sits on a chair, arms crossed, and smiles. Sehee Choi.

 Hearing those words, Soobin Lee nodded and said.

 "huh. As long as it's not too crazy, it doesn't matter."

 "Ah, I've waited a long time. Mmm..."

 Seeing Choi Se-hee stretching and saying that, Han Seo-eun became filled with complicated feelings..

 ...I know that the sisters are all kind and good people, but still... I didn't know that it would feel like we would become real family instead of family..

 Still, whatever.

 Actually, this might be better.

 Because I don’t want to break this current situation..

 ...Even if there is some sacrifice.

 Anyway, the rest of the meeting ended with roughly discussing how to stop Stardust's dominance and what to do after everyone has joined in..

 "..."

 Although Han Seo-eun looked so complicated, she stood up with a somewhat refreshing expression..

 ha. Well, what if this is all my brother’s karma?.

 anyway.

 That was the time when it was decided within Ego Stream to end the relationship with Ego Stick after retirement..

 "Ugh..."

 Dain was groaning on the bed, having a nightmare of being trampled by many people..

 'Save... save people...'

 ***

 "Brother, why are your eyes so blurry??"

 "huh? I guess it's because I couldn't sleep.."

 And the next day.

 Unlike me, who was sitting on the sofa and yawning as always, Seo-eun, who looked strangely refreshed for the morning, approached me. Holding two cups in her hands.

 "ruler. Brother, drink.."

 "huh? Ah, thank you."

 Seo-eun hands out the clear light green tea..

 As I was sitting on the sofa, looking up at her and taking the cup she handed me, I suddenly got the feeling that Seo-eun looked bigger. Well, now she’s as tall as Soobin..

 ...Or maybe it's because he's wearing an oversized dress shirt. No, isn't that mine? But, you must be wearing shorts underneath, right? I was about to point out something, but I decided to stop for fear of sounding like an old man. Well, you can wear it comfortably at home..

 Anyway, while I was doing that, Seo-eun, who sat down next to me, immediately asked me with her eyes shining..

 "So brother, what are you going to do now? next time?"

 "now? hmm..."

 I was lost in thought for a moment..

 If it goes according to the original work, the angel's descent will probably happen soon. Now I have to go there and kidnap the angel..

 When I said that, Seo-eun said with sparkling eyes..

 "So now I'm really going to do that and retire.?"

 "Yes..."

 "You always said you were retiring, but you kept putting it off for months. It's real now?"

 "...Because it's real. I'm really going to retire in 3 months.."

 "Really?"

 "I promise, I promise. If I don't do it in 3 months, I'll do as you say.."

 When I said that without much thought, Seo-eun froze for a moment..

 "...Really?"

 "...huh."

 "Hmm... then I guess we can take it a little slower.."

 ...I guess it was my mistake that her eyes looked dangerous for a moment.?

 Anyway, I sighed and opened my laptop..

 As soon as you go to the Internet, you can see Stardus' face with shiny blonde hair on the main news page..

 '...It's a shame.'

 When I saw that, I thought that without even realizing it..

 ...Honestly, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed. It's not long now until I see Stardust's face. If the villain retires, won't there be almost nothing to see?.

 Considering that everything I've done up until now was for Stardust, it was a truly heartbreaking feeling to lose my relationship with her. I guess I'll go back to watching TV like before..

 ...still.

 'okay. I have to leave when they applaud.'

 It was time to end our relationship..

 If I keep doing villain things anymore, it won't be productive, it'll just take up time, and it's sure to make Starders upset. ...Recently, my mind has been shaken by Stardust's unidentified beauty(?) strategy..

 I'm going to have to try to stay away from Stardust..

 Anyway, she'll be happy if I tell her I quit...

 ...and.

 'perhaps...'

  really, maybe.

 When everything is over, won't we be able to become good friends? I have such a small wish. If I explain that my villain terrorism was an act for an unavoidable cause, they won't understand...?

 Anyway, yeah. The final terrorist attack should be really grand..

 ...And until then, quickly check the angel kidnapping plan..

 I spent some time thinking like that before the Angel Descent event..

 Meanwhile, I got a call from Atlas..

 [Um... ego stick, are you listening??]

 "Yes Mr. Atlas. Please speak."

 [Huh. It's none other than the black monsters in the sea that I described catching before.?]

 "Ah yes. Is it Krulu or something??"

 [Yeah, that one. And Tulu. Anyway... I think they are variants of the moonlight monsters that fell into the sea a while ago, but that's not the point..]

 Atlas, who had said that far, paused for a moment and then opened his mouth..

 [One of them has now disappeared towards your country..]

 "...yes? really?"

 [okay. They violate all scientific laws and cannot be traced... but don't worry! I'll tell you the strategies I've learned from dealing with them so far, so if they come, this is how you deal with them..]

 In this way, we learn how to deal with the strange giant monsters of the ocean..

 I spent my time faithfully..

 "Is it finally today?."

 The day has finally come.

 [Breaking news! Now, white light is shooting out in the sky....]

 "Seo Eun-ah. My brother will bring me an angel.."

 The day to catch an angel.

 ***

 Meanwhile.

 '...Well then, goodbye to you, Mr. Stadus..'

 "ha..."

 Stardust was having its worst days..

 Since Ego Stick almost ignored her and broke up with her, her condition has gotten worse day by day..

 When I went out and did things, I pretended like nothing was wrong and lived as if nothing happened..

 In reality, her insides were already festering..

 "Why are you doing this?..."

 It became her daily routine to mumble and tap the table without realizing it..

 ...what is the problem? Do you feel pressured because you are so close to prison? Or maybe you really hate me...?

 Stadus was in great shock, as Ego Stick, who had always approached him until now, had never shown such a callous appearance before..

 These days, I have nightmares about Ego Stick abandoning me every day..

 "Ugh..."

 ...It seemed strange for a hero to rely on a villain, but she couldn't help it. I never even thought that ego sticks would do that in the first place..

 In fact, if you think about what Egostick has done to her so far,...

 sacrifice one's life.

 Whenever there is danger, step forward and save the day..

 Smiling even when you get hit because of a misunderstanding.

 ...Drop everything else and show up whenever she wants.

 Since he had consistently shown that side of himself until now, even just one day of behaving differently from before was enough to break her spirit..

 ...okay. It's probably temporary. It'll be temporary.

 I must have been in a bad mood that day, huh..

 She was thinking like that and was having a mental victory, but.

 Still, it was an undeniable fact that I was more sensitive than usual..

 ...These days, I've been going to Ego Stick's fan cafe every day to look for anything related to him..
