A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 376
EP.376 - A relationship different from your own
After Catedal was reorganized with the goal of conquering the world, the cycle of meetings became significantly shorter..
Compared to the fact that it was held occasionally, approximately once every three months, now it feels like it is held almost every week..
Of course, unlike before, it was not necessary to attend every meeting, but it was related to support. And since all kinds of high-quality information was shared, more or less everyone attended..
And when the world was in an uproar over Stardust's power, at an open meeting as usual,.
Of course, I participated as always..
Naturally, with all the attention pouring in,.
"....."
...To be honest, no matter how strong he is, I thought everyone wouldn't be interested because he's a hero from another country, but wasn't it??
but. Rather, if they were the same villains, they would have known the castrum better. They said that the European branch of Catedal also put pressure on them. In particular, the way European villains look at me is unusual..
All of this is probably because I have finally realized what it means to have been dealing with Stardust alone until now..
...Actually, it's not that I'm strong, it's that I was able to deal with her for a long time because I never really engaged with her and just bounced around quickly. what. Didn’t they say that the person who survived was the strong one? So it’s true that I’m strong too..
But if they find out that Stardust likes me, how will they react?.
"....."
When I'm thinking like that.
"Everyone is here."
Celeste, who arrived a little late today, opened her mouth in a mysterious, singing voice..
The atmosphere in the noisy conference room became somewhat quiet, and the meeting began in earnest..
"...Today, we will review your activities so far and decide on the direction to move forward.."
Under the leadership of Celeste, who said such things,.
The concept of this meeting was for everyone to say a word about what they have done so far and how they will move forward..
...Actually, it's stated in the invitation, so everyone must have prepared..
This is how the meeting began.
"Let me tell you first. Etheria, led by Celeste, currently holds over 90% of the leadership of the United States...."
A place to explain your achievements in earnest.
...The villains who have accomplished a lot so far spoke with proud and confident voices, and even the villains who had achieved nothing yet confidently said that they would move forward more aggressively in the future..
In particular, villains like Katana, who had already conquered the country, did not say much. I just said that I will continue to support Catedal..
And then, my turn came..
Eyes focused on the surroundings.
...Especially with Stardust, I sensed something they were probably most worried about..
Soon he smiled and opened his mouth..
"...I am bribing everyone around the hero and eating away at the association and the government from within. With public support, the plan is progressing smoothly.."
I started off with a refreshing lie, but then I got ready to talk about Stardust..
...In fact, there was no need for others to care about Stardust. Because she's busy protecting Korea.
But the problem is, they don't even know that..
...However, they may feel that Stardust is a potential threat because they imagine Stardust coming to their country for support and causing trouble..
Therefore, in order to relieve their anxiety, I continued with the following words:.
"In particular, my country's hero, Stardus, seems to be a big topic these days... She doesn't go out of Korea and keeps her only dealing with us. We are working on a separate way to attract her to us, so you don't have to worry too much.."
Most people looked at my words with a 'hmm...' expression, but some looked visibly relieved..
Most of those who breathe a sigh of relief are European villains. Perhaps because they knew in detail about Castrum's strength, they knew in detail how much strength beyond common sense was that Starthers, who defeated him with one blow, had. In particular, Castrum was roaming all over Europe, unlike the villains gathered here who only focused on their own country..
...In particular, the villain with the red mohawk hair looked almost moved. No, don't get that sorted out.?
Anyway, my turn is over..
...Afterwards, I quietly smiled and looked at the other people's expressions, and nodded quietly to myself..
In fact, I was already in a fairly influential position in Catedal, but now that the attention has increased due to Stardust... I can now intervene more actively..
using celeste.
"...Well, this concludes today’s meeting..
As I was thinking that, the catedale was over before I knew it..
"If you would like to talk further, you can do so here.."
As soon as the meeting ended.
Celeste sat back down on the chair with her eyes still closed..
He opened his mouth very naturally, without even looking in my direction..
"And ego stick, you follow."
she says that to me.
...Recently, she has been calling me first more often..
Most of it was related to Catedal's strategy and tactics, but I could see that she had gained her trust by discussing it with me. ...I sang it more often than I thought, but anyway..
"Yes, I understand."
So I smiled and answered.
I followed Celeste, who stood up first, flapping her cloak, and thought quietly to myself..
'...okay. At this rate, I think we've become a lot of friends..'
I guess I'll have to move on to the next step.
...A ruin where the sun god's sacred relic is hidden. It was time to go there one more time..
In that way, I tried to persuade the Sun God instead of gaslighting him..
I thought to myself, and followed along, hiding my smile..
...However, he seemed to be in a bit of a bad mood today, but I guess I was mistaken...?
***
I was annoyed.
"Hmm... can I look into this information??"
"yes."
Celeste's office, connected to the cathedral where the meeting is held..
In her own simple, white room filled with luxurious decorations.
Celeste looked at the ego stick with a somewhat sullen feeling..
Ego Stick... Dain.
After thinking that he also believed in the sun god like her, she recently felt comfortable being around him. Because she didn't have many people she could trust...and understand her..
...no. In fact, apart from God, egoism was the only thing.
Like now, she often invites Ego Stick to her room. To discuss how to plan Katedal's air raid operation. Well, since it was he who suggested expanding the catedal situation like this, there will be no complaints..
His brain was also useful..
Anyway, there is only one reason why Celeste has been in a bad mood lately..
'...Starders.'
It was because of that woman..
A woman also called the archenemy of egotics.
In fact, she wasn't very interested in Starthers at first. In the first place, it was none of my business who Ego Stick played with. The hero Stardust was very weak and worthless..
but.
"......"
Recently, after she became a hot topic by showing off her hidden powers,.
Celeste's heart became even more upset..
Since then, articles have poured in reexamining the relationship between Egostick and Stardus. There were even rumors of a romantic relationship..
In fact, knights who couldn't even start a fire like that were none of her business, but... Celeste knew something that others didn't..
as soon as.
Stardust is a person who received the power of a star god like Egostick..
"...."
She smoothed the paper like that, opened her eyes and looked at the ego stick..
He is still smiling, holding the map and drawing something..
'...no way.'
When she sees him like that, Celeste becomes suspicious..
In fact, Stardust's strength was none of Celeste's concern. No matter how strong Stardust is, she is much stronger.
but...
There might be some kind of connection between Ego Stick and Stardus. In the first place, Egostick also knows that Stardust has star power. So, you must have been obsessively following Stardust for 5 years..
"....."
For some reason, she felt worse when she imagined Ego Stick following Stardus..
...Egostick is clearly a member of Katedal, and even though he believes in the sun god along with himself... why does he feel uneasy?.
Celeste, who continued to worry alone,.
Soon, I asked that I should make this point clear and move on..
Ego stick. What on earth is he with Starthers?.
Therefore, Celeste opened her mouth..
"ego stick."
"yes?"
He raises his head and answers with a smile when she calls..
Looking into his eyes.
After swallowing a small sigh alone, she chose her words carefully....
Soon I opened my eyes. I asked with my golden eyes facing the ego stick..
"you. What on earth is your relationship with that woman named Starthers??"
