A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 342
EP.342 - Her confusion
After Egostick retired.
Stardust didn't show much difference on the surface..
...okay. On the surface at least.
"...die."
"Ughhh...!"
Kwagagagagagagagagah-.
In the middle of Seoul.
Another villain appears there and causes terrorism..
Starders was dispatched to the scene and after a confrontation, he immediately grabbed the man by the neck and pinned him against the building..
After that, she walked straight ahead..
"Wow... ugh."
The villain, whose body was torn apart by the entire building, lost consciousness..
"Tsk..."
And then she looks down at that guy with a cold expression and throws him to the ground..
After defeating the villain, she contacted the association with an expressionless face..
"S-class villain, Anonymous Monkey has been processed. Please come and take care of it.."
[Yes, yes! All right!]
Tuk.
After contacting her like that, she.
I took to the sky again, quietly glanced around at the chaotic cityscape, and flew again with a stern face..
okay.
Stardust hasn't changed. On the surface.
but.
Somehow, except that the way the villains are dealt with has become more merciless and extreme than before..
And the reason that happened was.
Starders herself didn't know it, but the reason she became colder towards the villains who unknowingly caused terrorism was simple..
'...No, it's not you.'
When I heard that a villain had caused a terrorist attack,.
A little anticipation blooming without her knowledge.
And when I hear the name of a villain that has nothing to do with egoism, I feel a surge of excitement..
The bitterness and anger that comes with the thought, “I knew that would happen.” despair.
All of these stresses were more clearly revealed in the process of dealing with villains other than Ego Stick..
"....."
On a topic that is not egoistic.
Why are you taking my time??
It is said that if other villains had seen Stardus flying in the sky thinking like that with dead eyes, they would have been so frightened that they would have run away....
Anyway, she came back to the association again..
She looked emotionless as she sat in her office and expressionlessly turned on her laptop, but in reality, all kinds of emotions were swirling inside her..
Of course, most of them are related to egoism..
'If I hadn't spoken coldly at the end, Ego Stick wouldn't have left.?'
self-loathing and regret.
'...too bad. How can you leave in such an instant?...'
Resentment towards egoism.
'Ego stick... hmm. You can't cry in the office.'
sadness.
'Still, Ego Stick is probably still thinking of me. Wouldn’t they come if I did a show where I just jumped out of the loop? Ah... I'm not dying though..'
and negotiate.
'...okay. The S-class villain has retired, so I'm happy. Anyway, I didn't pay any attention to my ego... This feeling is probably temporary, right....'
Finally, to mental victory.
Lately, her condition has always been like this..
A situation in which numerous emotions swirl in one's heart like a storm, and even when one finally decides on one, they are reset again the next day..
Anyway, today seemed to end with a mental victory..
...Of course, for someone who doesn't care about the Ego Stick, I started using the Ego Stick on the Internet as soon as I turned on the laptop....
So today, she was carrying out the same routine as usual..
"uh...?"
For a moment, my body froze when I saw a post..
*
[[Breaking News] Ego Stick, new overseas heroes and terrorism begin! Was it just a farewell to Stardust, not retirement??]
*
When she saw that, her mind instantly turned white..
What are you talking about?.
Ego stick, that can’t be possible. No way...
While thinking that, she held the mouse with trembling hands and clicked on the post..
What she saw as soon as she entered the post was.
It was a picture of a robot with a cold expression..

[Where do you live? I'll give you a gift, so give me the address.]
[As soon as I saw the title, I was hooked, haha.]
[Stardust dislikes this post]
[No, I thought it was real because it had so many likes, so why did I click like on this, you crazy people?]
ㄴ[That's right... I can't be the only one who gets caught....]
[But honestly, Ego Stick said he wouldn't hang out with Starders, he never said he wouldn't commit terrorism, so it's plausible haha.]
ㄴ[ㄹㅇㅋ]

".....Ugh."
Kwaaang!
"Mr. Stathers, what's going on?!"
"...ah. Well, it’s nothing, so you don’t have to come in.!"
Starders became enraged at the sight of the article and slammed his desk, and when asked by an employee outside the hallway, Starders hurriedly answered the question..
"Sigh... Really bad guys. Even if you catch it, why do you catch it with something like this?..."
Starthers muttered, putting his head back on the chair and covering his slightly red eyes with his arm..
When she thought for a moment that Egostick was abandoning her and playing with another female hero, she felt really upset..
She wasn't sure how she would react if something like that actually happened....
"ego stick..."
muttering his name like that.
Starders once again left himself in a storm of emotions..
I just realized that I like him.
Why did we have no choice but to break up at that moment?.
If only I was more honest with myself.
If so...
I didn't know that Stadus was brooding over regret and self-loathing..
...It's only been 3 weeks since Ego Stick retired..
The three months that her body remembers as the limit of ‘living without ego’ have not even come yet....
As she was digging in the ground alone like that, she sighed and thought..
'...okay. Don't dig too much alone.'
Should I get some advice from my friends?.
She was looking at the contact information like that..
I was reminded of Kim Ja-hyeon, a shadow walker who recently decided to marry his girlfriend soon..
It's been a while since I last contacted him.
'...Shall I meet Seola after a long time?.'
Stadus thought while fiddling with his phone..
If he even gets married. I thought it might be helpful for my own relationship counseling..
***
a family home.
There, a man with thick black hair was sitting there holding a glass of beer..
His name is Jahyun Kim.
In other words, Korea's A-level hero and guardian of the night, Shadow Walker..
He was watching the news and drinking beer with mixed feelings..
[It's already been over a month since Ego Stick retired. He has not been seen since announcing his retirement. After his retirement, the terrorism rate in Korea was...]
"ego stick..."
He muttered that quietly and bitterly..
While the news reports the retirement of villain Egostick as if it were common gossip,.
Shadowwalker. he knew the truth.
"...Haha, no one knows but me."
About the real reason why Egostick, the S-class villain who shook Korea, retired.
"Egostick... was a true hero.."
okay.
He was a hero who protected the Republic of Korea, hiding in the shadows behind a mask..
He was the only one who knew that the man who was cosplaying as a villain was actually doing it to save the world..
and...
There is only one reason for him to retire.
"Egoistic... Because he is terminally ill.."
Shadowwalker calmly muttered the truth he believed in..
The truth that only you know and no one else in the world knows.
The dark hero Egostick is actually limited in time..
okay. I've seen Shadowwalker before..
The sight of Ego Stick coughing up blood and hiding it..
And then, through various logical deductions, Shadow Walker arrived at the truth..?.
Ah, the days left for Ego Stick to live are numbered..
Before he dies, he wants to burn everything he has, sacrifice it for his country, and leave..
Since then, Shadowwalker has respected Egostick..
In particular, it is natural that Kim Ja-hyun's head will nod at the performance of Ego Stick that is heard as each year passes..
I've made up my mind several times to imitate him and stop complaining and fulfill my mission as a hero..
But finally.
Looks like the time has come.
Seeing that he is retiring...
'...I guess I only have a few days left to live..'
"ha..."
Even the sky is cruel. How could such a righteous person be taken away so early?.
But don’t worry, ego stick..
After you leave, I will take responsibility and reveal the whole truth to restore your honor to the world..
Because that's the least I can do..
Shadow Walker was so determined..
...When his phone rang, Shadow Walker flinched without realizing it..
'...Ugh, is it Sookhee??'
It was just yesterday that his girlfriend gave him a stern look and told him not to drink for a while..
...However, because he was gulping down beer today, he was stabbed without realizing it..
He quickly picked up his cell phone and unconsciously sighed in relief when he saw the caller..
"What is it... Stardust?."
It's been a while.
How are you doing?.
With that in mind, Shadow Walker answered the phone..
I wonder what's going on, and I have something to worry about, so I ask if we can meet together..
After briefly asking how he was doing, Kim Ja-hyun nodded that he understood when Stadus asked him that question..
While I was talking on the phone like that.
Shadowwalker, Jahyun Kim thought quietly..
'...Now that I think about it, since Starthers was also an archenemy of egoism, it would be better to take this opportunity to tell him the truth before it's too late..'
Ego stick, time limit.
That sad fact...
