A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 377
EP.377 - Interrogation
"you. What on earth is your relationship with that woman named Starthers??"
Celeste asks me a question in a somewhat cold voice..
With those words, I thought it had finally come..
'...okay. Of course you would have found out more about Stardust..'
As Stardust's strength became a hot topic, naturally, words about her reached Celeste's ears as well..
In fact, Stardust is not yet at the level of a threat to Celeste, but the problem is...
'Celeste knows that Stardust has the power of stars..'
Therefore, we will have no choice but to be even more vigilant. Because humans are afraid of things that are foreign to themselves..
...Still, fortunately.
'yet. Celeste doesn't know about the evil relationship between the sun god and the star god..'
In other words, there is only instinctive hostility because they are just different gods... We have no choice but to know Stardust's true identity..
And I also have star power.
Here, head-on approach is the answer..
With that judgment, I.
Smiling, I opened my mouth..
"It's the relationship between a hero and a villain.."
"I'm not asking that...."
"To be precise, he is the hero I am trying to bring to our side. She, she too, she has the same star power as me.."
She still looks at me with eyes that seem uncomfortable at my words..
"...So, you're staying close??"
"yes? Well... depending on your perspective, maybe. 'Cause it would be nice if she also believed in the power of the sun."
At my words, she pursed her lips slightly..
As if he had made up his mind, he looked into my eyes and said.
"Ego stick. you like that girl?"
"..."
Celeste's attack becomes even more fierce..
Seeing her staring at me with golden eyes that seemed to penetrate deep into my heart, I secretly swallowed my saliva and realized:.
That's right, if we don't move on right now, it's going to be a big problem..
So I'm still smiling.
Carefully, I opened my mouth.."
"...Who would I like?."
"For me, there is only the sun god who cares for humans like us... and you, Celeste, his spokesperson.."
"She is just a person who is close to our sun. I have no other interests or personal interests. I'm busy focusing on cathedal right now. haha."
Celeste's face softened slightly at my words, which I spoke without taking a breath..
I felt a little guilty towards Starthers as I made up the words on the spot, but I had no doubt that she would forgive me since it was for the greater good. However, if she said now, ‘We even kissed each other,’ she would be branded a heretic and face death....
"Hmm... Well, I understand. then."
Celeste avoids my eyes and answers like that..
"Still, don't get too close to her.."
"...yes. All right."
As she said that, her cheeks seemed to turn slightly red..
'Did you get through it safely?.'
As I thought so, I felt reassured inside..
I suddenly felt something strange..
But something is strange.
'...I thought he was going to ask about something related to star power or betrayal, but instead he focused on my relationship with her..'
It was a minor difference, but I noticed it. Celeste was so important to me that I focused on even the slightest change in facial expression or tone of voice..
especially...
'Could it be that you're a little jealous that I've been hanging out with Starthers all this time?...?'
"..."
That's probably not it.
Even when I think about it to myself, I think it’s nonsense. From the moment I had this thought, I thought it might be a problem..
But, if that's true...
"..."
That's a good thing.
"...What are you looking at?"
okay.
it was a good thing.
Because Celeste needed to like me more than she does now..
"ah. haha. it's nothing."
"joy..."
As I looked at Celeste turning her head away from me with a slightly red face, I thought quietly..
I'm much closer to Celeste.
I had to make her dependent on me..
So that she can fall for me, trust and rely only on me.
Love me, depend on me, so much that you can't live without me.
like that.
...She is the sun god and me. When you have to choose one of the two.
So that you can abandon the God you have worshiped all your life and choose me..
'...It won't be easy.'
I thought so and used my pen..
Actually, it wasn't that easy. It was close to impossible.
but.
Shouldn't I try it?.
If this is the easiest way to save the world.
like that.
I smiled and opened my mouth to Celeste..
"...ah. And Celeste."
"yes."
"I discovered one more relic of the sun god.."
"...yes?
At my words, she lifted her head from her documents and opened her eyes wide..
I chuckled at that sight of Celeste and then asked her:.
"So, would you like to come with me? right now."
"...of course!"
She looks a little excited, talking to me.
No, how on earth did you find out??
...Let's go right now.!
Seeing Celeste say that, I grinned..
good.
It was an opportunity to take the relationship one step further..
As a bonus... what kind of 'mind' can be instilled in her?.
While thinking that, I quietly smiled and got up..
It was time to go to the place in Europe where the fourth, sacred relic of the sun god was hidden..
***
"Well, it's here.."
"..."
Busy European streets.
Celeste, who was standing there following Egostick's words, opened her mouth with a sullen expression..
"...There are ruins hidden in this crowded place.?"
Currently, she has taken off her saint's clothes and is wearing a plain t-shirt like everyone else..
She is walking with her long silver hair flowing like that..
...Thanks to the recognition-impeding effect on both of them and blocking other people's gaze, Ego Stick also took off his usual coat and mask and smiled at her while wearing a plain shirt..
"yes. Just trust me."
"joy..."
The person who speaks with such a confident voice.
As he walked ahead, Celeste followed quietly..
Feeling somehow awkward.
'...How long has it been since you walked down the street in ordinary clothes like this?.'
After hearing the voice of God as a child, she has since devoted all her energies to creating an empire for him..
So, it's been a while since I walked this leisurely street full of people. Until then, in my spare time, I was always focused on attending God in the prayer room..
like that.
The sun warmly comes down from the sky and lights up the streets..
This space is full of people’s laughter..
Celeste was looking on as if she was experiencing something new..
Outside the cathedral, people live happily like this. There were a lot of them..
...This too must be God's grace.
With that thought in mind, Celeste unconsciously smiled warmly and looked around..
Soon, Ego Stick is walking in front. Looking at his back, I was lost in complicated thoughts..
...I guess I was able to see this scene thanks to him..
What a strange man. That ego stick person.
Thinking about that, she fell into reminiscence..
*
"you. What on earth is your relationship with that woman named Starthers??"
After careful consideration, the question she asked.
In her words.
Egostick answered her without any hesitation..
"It's the relationship between a hero and a villain.."
"I'm not asking that...."
At the moment when her eyes were about to frown at such an obvious answer,.
Egostick smiled and said:.
"To be precise, he is the hero I am trying to bring to our side. She, she too, she has the same star power as me.."
let's hear that.
Celeste somehow felt her heart throbbing..
...okay. In the end, I was interested because he was a person with the same star power..
Is there some kind of kinship among the characters who received power from the star god??
It was absurd..
...I told her that I was a believer in the same sun god. In the end, what she was most interested in was her lineage..
"...So, you're staying close??"
When she said that in a cold voice, feeling betrayed somehow,.
Ego Stick still gave an ambiguous answer as if he had no thoughts.
"yes? Well... depending on your perspective, maybe. 'Cause it would be nice if she also believed in the power of the sun."
'...'
So, you’ve only been with Stardust for the past 5 years??
Even that girl was pretty..
Is that really all there is??
[Shock! 401 reasons why Egostick likes Stardust!]
For some reason, the article I saw the day before never left my heart and I felt cold inside..
"..."
okay.
I'm definitely going to do this.
...If it's true, egotism could be attached to a woman who betrays the sun god and believes in the star god. okay. Just for that reason.
She rationalized it like that..
Soon, with cold eyes, I asked Ego Stick a question..
"Ego stick. you like that girl?"
"...."
At those words, Ego Stick paused with a smile on his face..
Watching Ego Stick choose his words for a moment, Celeste's gaze became increasingly cold..
'...okay. Ego stick. After all, he is also a man..'
He said he would live for the sun god, but now he's trying to reach the stars again because of one woman. that kind of man.
okay. no wonder. I should have noticed when I saw you forcefully kissing me in the future. In the end, is it like this?.
...I can't do it. If we don't do something about this woman named Stardus right away,...
When Celeste was thinking such dangerous thoughts.
"...Who would I like?."
Egostick finally opened his mouth thoughtfully..
At the moment when Celeste's attention went to him again at his words,.
Ego Stick's words immediately touched her heart. I handed it over without any hesitation..
"For me, there is only the sun god who cares for humans like us... and you, Celeste, his spokesperson.."
...?
'Well, what do you say??'
Moment. Celeste wondered if she had heard wrong..
Otherwise, would he have casually said something embarrassing like ‘Celeste, you are the only one’ in front of him??
While Celeste suddenly became agitated,.
"She is just a person who is close to our sun. I have no other interests or personal interests. I'm busy focusing on cathedal right now.."
Ego Stick has definitely driven a wedge..
Starders only stays close for her sake. There are no different feelings at all... I am certain of this..
Celeste feels at ease.
"Hmm... Well, I understand. then."
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she looked away from the ego stick..
Immediately, I smiled inwardly without realizing it and thought quietly..
Yes... for egotics, there is only themselves. How many people are chosen by the same sun god?.
...Ego Stick. You should only stay by your side. Because that's the position that honors him the most..
so that.
Celeste spoke quietly to Egostick..
"Still, don't get too close to her.."
'Cause he's his.
