A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 58
EP.58 Consultation
"I can't believe we spent our days believing in the Apple Mango conspiracy theory... Wow.!"
Her friend, Lee Seol-ah, says that while covering her mouth..
Shinharu glared at her with a sullen expression, and only then did she smile and lower her hand..
"Hehe, it's a joke, it's a joke. calm down."
"I'm serious."
"Oh my, is our child upset today? oh my god~"
Seol-ah, who kept teasing her with a bright smile, cleared her throat and returned to her usual expression and opened her mouth..
"okay. Well, it certainly sounds strange to hear. He's a villain who commits terrorism but doesn't want people to die...."
Seol-ah, lost in thought for a moment, twisted her light blue hair slightly with her hands and spoke again..
"...Isn’t that just something that could happen? It's a bit like something, like an entertainer. Are you the type of person who enjoys attracting people’s attention? Let’s see. Yeah... what should I say?."
After choosing her words for a moment, she clapped her hands and said.
"You can think of him as a villain who wants to commit terrorism but doesn't want to kill civilians. He contacted me to save the people who died in the terrorist attack he committed.."
After saying that, Seol-ah crossed her arms and nodded, as if solving her problem. She does so and she drinks her green tea again to quench her thirst..
Shin Haru, who had been quietly listening until then, soon opened his mouth and asked:.
"....So you think he's harmless?"
"huh? Well, it's harmless... First of all, it's true that it destroys things like buildings and airplanes. The villain is correct. A villain who just hates seeing civilians die. Could that be considered harmless? It's better than villains trying to kill all civilians.."
"And judging by his hacking skills and the way he's spending money this time, he's definitely got something going on, but hearing you say that makes me feel reassured, right? It must have been even more terrifying if you had that much ability and tried to kill people.."
After saying that, Seol-ah took another sip of tea and drank it..
Looking at Haru, who was still looking worried, he smiled again and said,.
"Are you worried about our day, so you asked this girl for some advice? I'm curious as to whether that egotic guy is a villain or not.?"
"Who's the older sister... No, whatever. There's something that's taking a while..."
"What's there to take? In the world, there are villains like this and villains like that. There is a villain who wants to kill 5 people and use witchcraft on them, but isn't there also a villain who doesn't like people dying? Rather, there is no need to worry. From now on, the terror he causes will only cause civilian casualties to the extent that you can prevent it. Going around killing villains... well, it's a private sanction, but it's not the same as killing civilians.."
One day, I had a strange feeling while watching Seol-Ah say that it would be a good thing if she didn't kill people through terrorism, but what was she worrying about?.
okay. If we think about it in terms of common sense, what Seol-ah said is correct. A villain who just wants to cause terrorism without causing any casualties to civilians. Ego stick. If you define him that way, the problem will end..
The reason for terrorism can be seen as simple pleasure, like other villains..
Maybe that's the normal interpretation of egotic..
But she still had some doubts. I can't explain it in words... but I feel a strong 'intuition' within her.'.
I think that there may be some other reason behind causing terrorism, rather than simply seeking one's own pleasure..
Watching him commit terrorism, it seemed like he was aiming for something rather than simply enjoying terrorism..
The idea that they may be causing terrorism with some other intention, with the intention of doing something..
What is that? Because she doesn't know that, all her thoughts are still dismissed as delusions..
Seeing Haru's worried face again, Seol-ah smiled..
"No, it's just a day. I thought it would be a huge problem for me to bring this up here, but was it about a villain? What should I do if my child is such a workaholic??"
She says that and shakes her head..
"It's a day. We are people too. When I'm not working, I need to clear my head and rest. huh? If you're a college student, go to some events. Yes, I can make friends with that.?"
"....I have friends."
"Oh, that senior you mentioned? That's not a friend. Sister! Anyway, let's take a break. This is it. So, would you ever date a man??"
"You've never dated a guy either.."
Seol-ah's face turned slightly red as Shin Haru's words struck her as she listened quietly..
"No, because I control privacy at the group level... Me too, huh? If it weren't for surveillance."
"Yes, yes. okay."
Seol-ah, who grumbled at Haru's words while laughing, soon found herself laughing too..
So the story about ego sticks was over and they started talking about their current situation..
The reason Lee Seol-ah brought out the baby was because of her recent worries..
"Ha... it's quite stressful having my every move published in the media.."
Lee Seol-ah.
Her friend, an A-level hero in charge of Busan, has ice skills..
At the same time, she is the daughter of the chairman of Yoosung Corporation, one of Korea's largest conglomerates. She is often said to be a third generation chaebol..
"No, hero work is fun for me and it's good because it has a positive impact on the company... but why is everyone so interested in what I'm wearing?..."
She stretches her hand toward the table and sighs..
All I could say to her was, ‘It must be hard.’.
Unlike Stardus, who thoroughly hides his identity through actions such as being recognized, Icicle did not particularly hide his identity..
Even before she awakened her abilities and became known as Icicle, she was already widely known to the public under the name Jebeul III Lee Seol-ah..
So, she did not hide her identity and went out with a bare face under the name Lee Seol-ah, without doing anything that would hinder recognition even when she was working as a hero..
"Still, since I started this, it hasn't interfered as much as before, so that's good. Honestly, I guess they think I have a positive influence on our company’s image.."
"You have a hard time too..."
"okay. Fortunately, there are fewer terrorist attacks in Busan than in the metropolitan area. I really wish there were as many as you..."
Lee Seol-ah, who had said that, clicked her tongue and took out her cell phone. And she read some article and her face scrunched up.
Haru was puzzled by this and asked her..
"what's the matter?"
"No, we have competitors. Bank of Korea Group. There was a guy named Kim Seon-woo who was one of the technical advisors there, and he was released. He was caught doing some kind of human experiment. How did he get released? Looks like you did a lot of lobbying again.."
"Seonwoo Kim..."
"Ugh. Nothing is going well these days."
Seol-ah clicked her tongue and put her phone back on the desk..
So they continued talking..
Time passed quickly and it became deep into the night..
Rain is falling steadily outside.
"Let’s go now?"
"okay."
So we decided to part ways here.
When I came out of the cafe, bodyguards wearing sunglasses and suits were standing in front..
"miss. Let's get on."
"uh. Haru, would you like me to give you a ride too? It's raining too."
"No, I'll just walk for a bit and then go. you go in first."
"okay..? okay. But do you have an umbrella? Mister, the only thing left is an umbrella.!"
So one day, I received an umbrella from the people in suits in front of me and expressed my gratitude..
"Good day, I'm leaving. Next time you have any concerns, call me right away, okay??"
"huh. Be careful going in."
So she saw off her friend who was leaving in a black limousine..
Soon, when the car was out of sight, she took her steps and started walking towards the house..
rain hitting the umbrella.
She walked through the night street, where only the sound of raindrops could be heard, relying on an umbrella..
It was nice to meet a friend after a long time.
Seol-ah was the only friend I could talk to openly..
She walked slowly, raised her head and looked at the sky..
As it is almost dawn, the sky is dark..
Looking at the sky with only the moon floating alone, she fell into deep thought again..
In the end, Seol-ah is also egoistic. He just advised me not to pay much attention to him..
He's just a villain who doesn't like hurting people, nothing more or less..
But one day I still cared about him..
Seol-ah and herself feel like there’s something we’re missing out on..
I have a feeling that his actions so far seem to be drawing a bigger picture..
And the thought that he might not be as bad a person as she thought, unfounded and ridiculous... but still lingering in her head..
In this way, Stardus was trying to penetrate the essence of Egostick with his extra senses without even realizing it..
Of course, since I don't know his true identity, right now I just feel uncomfortable and worried about him..
"ha..."
Looking at the dark night sky, she just sighed..
When you are so distraught because of egoism.
Actually, that ego-stick guy is probably living happily in his own home.?
***
"Cluck, cluck."
"Wow!! Oppa why are you like this!!! Don’t I need to go to the hospital for this? Let's go to the hospital.!"
"Seo-eun, how could I go to the hospital? It'll be okay in a little while, lol.."
"I'm pouring out a lot of blood like this, so what's okay?!!"
"You can't die... hehe."
Inside a large mansion deep in the mountains.
I was lying there, and I was vomiting a lot of blood..
People flocking to the mansion and surrounding me, looking worried..
On the other side of the door, I see Hayul looking at me with a pale complexion..
Oh shit.
Did I push myself too hard on my legs?.
"Cough."
I cough up blood again like that.
I'm dying of injustice. Why on earth do you suddenly say how much strength you used??
It's like a fucking ability....
I collapsed my leg, passed out as soon as I got home, and woke up 3 days later..
As soon as I wake up, I'm coughing up a lot of blood..
I'm dying.
Will there ever be a day when Stardust finds out that I'm rolling for her like this??
no. won't come, probably.
oh my...
"Cluck, cluck."
"Wow!!"
And Seo-eun, stop screaming....
