A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 363
EP.363 - Heroes and misunderstandings
A sudden call from Stardust..
...In fact, at this contact for the first time since our last meeting, I swallowed my saliva and sent a text message..
[What's going on??]
Then, a little while later, the call came back to me with a ringing sound..
>[I just... wanted to see you.]
"Huh..."
For a moment, I held my breath at Stardust's reaction..
After our last meeting.
After confessing her feelings to me, she had no hesitation. Is she a reaction to what she has endured for so long?.
'
>[What are you doing if you're not sleeping??]
To her asking me that question, I just answered like this.
[....I just couldn't sleep, so I was thinking about this and that.]
>[okay? What's going on?]
...Before I could even ask Stadus why she wasn't sleeping, the reply came quickly..
What's going on...
[It's nothing special. I just wanted to know what to do next. I have a lot of thoughts about this and that.]
I was thinking about it while sending it like that..
...Now that I think about it, I should also tell Stardus. The abilities of those with abilities will soon run out of control. That way, she won't be embarrassed when that day comes..
That's when I thought about it.
>[If you have any concerns, please tell me]
>[I'm your girlfriend now]
>[(Shy bear emoticon)]
"Phew."
At the moment she answered, I felt my throat burning for no reason and cleared my throat while I was drinking water..
Girlfriend...girlfriend...
"Girlfriend... That's right."
I felt my face getting a little hot, so I fanned myself with my hand..
...Starders. That stardust is my girlfriend.
girl friend. It's been a few years since I last heard such cute words..
[Yes, I understand haha]
>[Yep]
>[(Bear emoticon nodding its head)]
"Big..."
When I saw the white bear emoticon she used, I couldn't help but laugh for a moment..
Starders... Was this the tone of voice online? It was very cute. Unlike in reality, where she is a somewhat cool-headed beauty,.
'No... Now that I think about it, was he cute in real life??'
I was seriously thinking about that, and when I thought about it, I realized that just as she said, now is an opportunity..
This is none other than a chance to tell Starders what will happen in the future. Phase 4 ability power-up. The official name of the original work is ‘inflation’ event..
[Oh, and Mr. Starthers. I just want to tell you something..]
>[What? And don't call it Stardust, just call it a day...!]
[Yes, Haru haha. Anyway, that's what I heard too....]
So I told her what was going to happen..
According to some obscure experts, the abilities of all villains are expected to suddenly strengthen in the future..
As such, it was said that the world could become confused..
>[Okay, big deal.....]
And she easily believed what I said..
Of course, I told her there was nothing to worry about. Seol-ah Lee and I will do our best to calm the confusion. Of course, I didn't mention Lee Seol-ah without notice....
Anyway, I reassured her like that, and we continued talking early in the morning, forgetting about sleep..
And finally, when it was really late and it was time to go to sleep,.
>[Yes....]
>[When can we meet again??]
Those words came from her.
"When can we meet?..."
I listened to her and closed my eyes..
...If all goes according to my plan, the opportunity to meet will come sooner than I thought..
Originally I had no intention of being on the front line, but now things have changed..
So, I answered her like this.
[Sooner or later, we'll be able to meet.]
okay. Soon, the day will come when we can see each other again in person..
>[okay]
>[I'll look forward to it]
>[(Smiling bear emoticon)]
After reading the message from her for the last time, I turned off my phone, lay down on the bed, and closed my eyes..
Although I was tired...
For some reason, the smile never stopped on my face..
***
Anyway, now the time for real fun is over..
Now is the time to properly prepare for the inflation event..
So things went smoothly..
"First, we need to completely change the Republic of Korea to a hero centralized system.."
Yuseong Group large conference room.
There, Seol-ah Lee proudly declared, with her light blue hair tied back..
"...But isn't that bad for you? You are actually ruling the Republic of Korea now.."
"No, Mr. Dain. What do you mean? First of all, I’m a hero too.?!"
She grinned and made an ice crystal on her hand and said.
"Hehehe... When inflation comes, my ice ability, which was like half a penny, becomes S-class performance...."
Trying to ignore Lee Seol-ah, who was muttering something and smiling evilly, I opened my mouth and asked:.
"So, what exactly do you plan on doing??"
"Hehehe. Listen carefully."
Lee Seol-ah said that and pointed to the large screen..
"Now, once capability inflation occurs, the problem is that the terrorism rate increases. The solution to this is simple. As Dain said, you can just increase the number of heroes in advance.."
"And who is that hero? All we have to do is register all the talented people in our Yuseong PMC with the association. Because there are already so many B-level talented people..
I nodded to Lee Seol-ah, who spoke so kindly..
okay. This is what we were thinking from the beginning.
Considering that after inflation, all B-level talented people will become A-level people, the plan is to turn all those who bought at low prices into heroes..
In fact, the work will not be much different from the days of Yuseong PMC, but public perception is important. In a chaotic society, we have many ‘heroes’. So, having many heroes could give them great reassurance..
Our Yuseong PMC's talented people have now entered the 5th stage. In other words, not only are there a lot of people, but the bond between them is no joke. In other words, there is little chance of him suddenly going astray and becoming a villain. If you are labeled as a hero in the first place, you will continue to receive envious looks from those around you, so it is not easy to escape..
together.
"If you do that, you might be able to make other talented people want to become heroes.."
I nodded and said so..
"Right. We will use this opportunity to significantly increase the salaries and treatment of heroes. We also need to promote this constantly. The public is like, ‘Huh? To make people think, ‘Hero isn’t that bad?’."
she said with an evil smile.
...Although it was evil, it was all for the good of the country. Maybe... I guess so..
"Then, we can provide funds to the association... Is there more??"
"no. This will be enough."
I nodded and said so..
...Actually, this was easy because we had prepared in advance for various events such as Wolgwang Bridge... In fact, it was difficult..
In the original work, the Korean Association collapsed completely..
In the first place, it was great to have so many B and C class heroes in this small country..
"Well, I'll start this job right this week. All you have to do is persuade the president of the association. I would probably agree right away because it would be helpful to the association.?"
"okay."
like that.
The work went very quickly..
[(Breaking News) Yuseong PMC talented people registered as heroes en masse. 'From now on, I want to work for my country.' In Korea, there are hundreds of heroes below B level... Will this set the highest record relative to the population??]
[[[Comprehensive] Hero Association promises to improve treatment under a blanket increase in hero salaries. 'We will create an association that will be strong even 100 years from now.' Association President's Speech.]
*
[Rekka)) Yuseong Group and Hero Association signed a partnership. Group Chairman Lee Seol-ah, ‘We promise full support’.' ]
(A photo of the association president shaking hands with Lee Seol-ah and smiling brightly.)
ㄹㅇ What is it all of a sudden??
The number of heroes is increasing... Yuseong Group is said to support the association....
Monga... Monga wakes up and says this...
=[comment]=
[????What is it that there are suddenly hundreds of heroes in Korea? Wasn't it less than half of half of the original half?]
ㄴ[ㅇㅇ There isn't a single person in Class A... but it's still the highest number ever haha. What's happening all of a sudden?]
[The number of heroes has increased... is that a good thing? Isn’t it Stardust’s one-tool show anyway?]
ㄴ[Jobvillains from local areas or below C level are still dealt with by other heroes... You can roughly think of the increase in the number of strong police officers.]
[Statement of conviction) Even if the number of heroes increases by hundreds, one egoist cannot protect the Republic of Korea.]
ㄴ[ㄹㅇ]
ㄴ[ㄹㅇㅋ]
ㄴ[This is correct]
ㄴ[100 heroes VS 1 villainㄷㄷㄷ]
ㄴ[Mango, where have you gone? Please come back~]
ㄴ[The really scary thing is that this is true.]
[Still, it's good to increase the number of heroes... but more is more.]
*
like that.
The Republic of Korea was strengthening the substance of the association in the face of disastrous power inflation..
And of course.
This increase in heroes has also spread to Stardust..
"There are more heroes."
Hero Association Office.
There, I heard from the president of the association and read about it in an article..
After hearing the news that the number of heroes was increasing, Stadus thought with a bright smile..
Great. Ego Stick and Dain also said that there would soon be chaos due to ability inflation. It's good to prepare in advance.
Seol-ah helped me.
amazing. How is the timing perfect? Such a coincidence... this...
"...."
...Coincidence.
Is it a coincidence??
She thought that far.
After my eyes became cold for a moment, I quietly thought to myself about the strange intuition that came to me at that moment..
Did Seol-Ah just coincidentally get the timing right??
"........"
It was strange.
The timing was perfect..
As if Seol-ah knew that chaos would come soon..
Of course, Seol-ah could have learned the information through another route, or it could have been a coincidence....
For some reason, I feel this uneasiness intuitively..
As she was thinking deeply, she realized something and quietly muttered in a cold voice..
"...for a moment."
There was a time when I didn’t know that Dain was an egotist..
When I first met Dain at the beach.
Who was it that introduced him to me??
"...It was Seol-ah."
Starders.
She muttered that in a cold voice..
It was a moment when a misunderstanding...(?) occurred..
