A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 353
EP.353 - Still, lightning strikes
I went out alone with Seo Ja-young and came back..
...After being scolded by Choi Se-hee, asking why it was just the two of them going out to play.
"Then today, just stay with me!"
I nodded to Choi Se-hee, who spoke so confidently. ...I was never scared of Choi Se-hee, who spoke with a sad expression..
"Yeah, yeah."
Anyway, as a result, I ended up accompanying Choi Se-hee today..
And what Choi Se-hee wanted to do was none other than.
"Ability manifestation?"
"huh. It's already piled up too much these days. I'll solve that too, so you can watch from the side.."
She leans back and stretches her arms upward as she speaks..
...Fortunately, the training site was right in front, so there was no need to move far..
In the end, Choi Se-hee decided to set off with a strong will to shoot lightning again today..
Before that, she was working hand in hand with our healer Lee Ha-yul and receiving buffs..
"Sister, don’t overdo it. You understand?"
"Yes, yes. don't worry."
Lee Ha-yul, with her brown hair tied up, clasped her hands in front of Choi Se-hee and spoke in a worried voice..
And seeing Choi Se-hee answering her words with a cool smile, I felt something warm in my heart..
okay. If you think about it, even in the original work, Choi Se-hee and Lee Ha-yul were always together. As the saint of Electra and the villains.
Even though I ruined the original, as a fan of the original, I am moved to tears when I see something similar to the original....
"Come on, let's go!"
Anyway, the two of us moved deeper into the forest..
How long did it fly like that?.
"That's it?"
I said as I flew in the blue sky, looking at the gray golems walking through the green forest below..
"uh. That's what Seoeun made... what should I say? What is it called a test robot? All we have to do is take him down now.."
Choi Se-hee explains it like that..
From what I heard, Seo-eun created a solid robot that calculates damage to check the power of our Ego Stream, and scattered it on the mountain behind this place..
But I thought, “What if I get caught like this?”, but they explained that it doesn’t matter because they installed a recognition-blocking device here too..
"Anyway, I'll be back!"
"okay. Come back."
I said that and grabbed the towel and water bottle that Choi Se-hee gave me..
"Haha... let's have some fun?"
Pumping his fists, blue lightning flashing from his eyes.
Choi Se-hee went down with her orange hair flowing..
Then, streaks of lightning emanated from her body..
"Ahhhhh!"
Kwagagagagagagagagagah-
I clicked my tongue as I watched Choi Se-hee, who was destroying robots and destroying forests with streaks of blue lightning..
...As expected, Choi Se-hee looks the most excited when she uses her abilities to emit lightning, perhaps due to her unique frustration..
In fact, talented people like Choi Se-hee who had to show off their abilities on a regular basis were very rare. They say that if I don't shoot lightning, my body gets itchy and I can't control my impulses or something. It almost makes me wonder if I'm actually storing electricity in my body..
Well, that's why he became a villain in the original because he couldn't control his impulses, and in this world, he took advantage of that to become friends..
Now I'm used to Choi Se-hee's appearance like that..
...Although he still seemed a bit crazy.
"Kyahahahahahaha!"
Boom boom boom-
I nodded, looking at Choi Se-hee, who was still destroying the forest with blue lightning flashing from her eyes..
...Choi Se-hee certainly also powered up. First of all, it changed from lightning color to yellow to blue..
It's probably due to a combination of Lee Ha-yul's buff, which goes beyond his existing healing ability and awakened his buff ability, and his passionate use(?) of the ability among the existing stream members..
Although it is impossible for a talented person to become stronger in absolute terms, it is possible to become stronger by mastering combat skills and how to use abilities..
Perhaps, if we really experience the power-up event after the start of Phase 4, Eunwol could become the next strongest member in Egostream..
I thought so.
By the time I thought about that, it seemed like it was finally over and the sound of the lightning disappeared..
When I looked again, Choi Se-hee was coming up, sweating like rain..
"haha. Water, please..."
"ruler."
With those words, Choi Se-hee, who was handed a water bottle from me, tied her orange hair back tightly, tied a towel around her neck, and began to drink the entire bottle in one gulp..
...Looking at it like this, it feels like I'm seeing Iljin, who I used to see in the alley during my school days. I had dyed my hair exactly that color and was standing there in sweats and looking like this. It was somehow a memory.
The difference is that Choi Se-hee was not part of Iljin during her school days, and her orange hair was not due to dyeing but was due to her abilities....
As I was looking at Choi Se-hee with such emotions, Choi Se-hee, who must have sensed my gaze, drank all her water, frowned and said,.
"hey. What're you doing. I thought it was strange."
"...no. I really didn't think she was like Iljin's older sister who was stealing money.."
"What dude?"
We flirted like that, which soon led to Choi Se-hee's lamentation..
"...I know how I look too. But I can't bear it if I don't use my abilities, so what can I do? I'm weird?"
"It's something unusual?"
"and. I feel really unfair. To be honest, I don't know where there is a normal, ordinary person like me in my house.."
In response to her words that seemed to be sincerely unfair, I tilted my head and responded..
"...is it?"
"uh. Honestly, everyone is a bit extraordinary. The saint of the moon god, the daughter of the second-ranked villain in the world...."
Choi Se-hee's explanation in that way made some sense..
Seo-eun is a survivor of biological experiments who was kidnapped as a child by Han Eun Group as a test subject. Needless to say, Eunwol and Ariel. Hayul, a healer who looked like an ordinary college student, was the head of a family of orphaned siblings who left the orphanage..
"And honestly, Subin Lee isn’t normal either. Soobin was the one who first came up with the idea? Dating with you all together..."
Choi Se-hee, who had said that far, immediately closed her mouth to see what she was saying..
"....."
The silence that comes after that.
...Choi Se-hee, whose face was bright red, whether because she was hot from sweat or some other reason, smiled and turned her head to the other side of me..
"..."
"....."
"..."
The silence continued for a while until the way back..
"...Ugh."
And Choi Se-hee, who must have been unable to bear this atmosphere, soon fell silent, clutched the towel tightly and screamed with a red face..
"okay!!! I like you! Are you done???"
She seemed embarrassed after saying that, so she quickly flew forward, ahead of me..
Then, Se-hee Choi stood in front of me, looked back at me with a very red face, and opened her mouth..
"Just wait and see. Because one day, I will make it so that you have no choice but to accept it. Let's see how long I can just watch Stardust.!"
And then she flew away ahead..
"....."
'...Iljin, right?.'
And I was left alone after that, just thinking blankly..
***
Time has passed since I played with Choi Se-hee like that..
As expected, the peaceful days continue.
...It was an ordinary daily life with no special differences, except that Choi Se-hee's face would turn red whenever she saw me and she would quickly get up and run away. For your information, Seo Ja-young saw that and made fun of Choi Se-hee and got kicked....
Even on such a peaceful day, it was time to stop for a moment..
Because the big one is coming soon.
"...Next Monday is finally the event.."
weekend.
As I sat down at my desk, I checked for the last time what would happen next week..
As always, it was a problem that Stardust, now fully powered up, could solve on its own without me having to step in....
"Hmm..."
Before that, there was the casualty problem, and he needed something from me, so I had no choice but to step forward..
The last thing I thought about was whether to wear an ego stick costume or pretend to be someone else and wear a different costume....
'I'll take it down soon anyway, so it doesn't really matter..'
So I decided to wear my existing clothes..
Because it won’t matter anyway.
and...
'I also need to find out what the status of Stardust is..'
...To be honest, it's true that I wanted to see Stardust... but that wasn't the reason this time..
Starders has been acting emotionally unstable and self-destructive lately. To find out why she does that.
What is the problem?.
whatever it is...
'No matter what happens, I have to resolve it unconditionally..'
Because that's the attitude of a true fan...!
Until that time when I made that promise, I didn't really know..
Why was Stardust in such a state?.
...Until that day, until I met her. at all.
***
"....."
dark city.
On the rooftop of a building, a woman with flowing blonde hair stood looking at the night view with a blank expression..
her name is stardust.
And what she was thinking was.
'...Is it okay for me to live like this?.'
It was none other than the meaning of one's existence..
It's already been a few days since she couldn't sleep due to nightmares..
It was only after he left that Stadus felt his absence greatly..
'Egostick, if he really died...'
Is there any meaning to being alive??
She had dead eyes and was even thinking those thoughts without realizing it..
'The ego stick...'
Really, if we could meet one last time.
She quietly closed her eyes and thought.
Starders.
It was two days before she met Egostick again..
