A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 91

Episode 91

Different places, different people

Seol-ah is strange these days..

"Don’t you think that ego stick guy is really a bad guy? It really seems like the end of the world that such an evil guy even has a fan cafe. right?"

"....huh."

It's already been a few weeks since she stayed at her friend Seol-ah's house..

These days, in Busan, where she came to visit at Seol-ah's invitation to take a break from the constant hero work, she mostly stayed and played with Seol-ah..

And, from one day.

Seol-ah strangely started saying a lot of egotic swear words..

"How many terrorist attacks have been committed? This isn't completely evil. They say he’s a guy without blood or tears."

"......"

Somehow, one day, I felt an inexplicable discomfort as I saw my friend frequently talking about ego sticks..

....He's definitely a villain, but still, still...

However, since she, a hero, could not possibly support the villain in the slightest, she always just nodded quietly..

"That bastard should just be torn limb from limb and killed.."

....That's a bit.

"From what I see, he's a psychopath who only cares about himself.."

It's not. He risked his life to save me..

"How could they cause terrorism against so many hundreds of people? Because it is pure evil."

....Still, there have been no deaths yet..

"And when I see you, I always call you only for a day. It's not creepy?"

Not really...

Shinharu just nodded, swallowing those answers in his heart..

When I was blankly watching the TV hanging on the wall of Seol-ah's house..

[special! Egotic In-Depth Analysis!]

Startle.

Haru's eyes were shaken by the sudden news program..

And as expected.

"uh! That guy!"

She sighed involuntarily when she heard Seol-ah's voice coming from behind the sofa..

Ah, here we go again.

*

The video itself was ordinary..

As can be seen through the ego stream published by Ego Stick, there is a high probability that he will join forces with other villains in the future..

And it is predicted that the area where terrorism occurs will most likely be Seoul, and that the hero who will deal with it will almost unconditionally be Stardust..

Well, there was no problem with the content itself..

The only problem was Seol-ah, who kept spewing out egoic curses while holding the remote control next to her..

"........"

At this point, she realized something was strange..

Why am I suddenly so obsessed with egoism? For what reason?

Even when I consulted about ego stick in the past, it was Seol-ah who showed an indifferent attitude and told me not to worry too much..

It was very strange to suddenly start cursing overnight..

And what's even more strange is.

"The reason why Egostick is a very evil villain is because just looking at that shows up...."

Because her intuition feels it.

There was no real sincerity in what Seol-ah said..

That was the strangest thing..

"......"

One day, I was just quietly listening to Seol-ah with slightly sunken eyes..

***

A large house nestled in a mountain valley.

Also known as Egostream Headquarters, The Big House).

I was there, declaring to everyone.

"We are going down to Busan."

"yes?"

"You went to Busan alone last time. also?"

Choi Se-hee tilted her head and said as if she didn't understand..

"brother. Why are you going to Busan??"

"To terrorize."

Haeun asked back as if she didn't understand my simple answer..

"Are you carrying out a terrorist attack in Busan? Oppa, you always played Stardust in Seoul.."

"that's right. Starders like Dain's brother are doing it somewhere else.?"

Everyone looking at me in disbelief.

No, what am I doing? When did I become this image? When you say that, it seems like I'm obsessed with Stardust. Of course, it's true that I live for Stardust, but that doesn't mean I just think about Stardust all day. Because it's not.

Anyway, I cleared my throat to brighten the mood..

"look. Everyone is misunderstanding this, but I'm not particularly obsessed with Stardust.."

"Well... Mr. Dain, for you to say that, don't you even run a Stardust fan cafe??"

Subin listened to what I said and made a comment as if it was absurd. That's sharp. In this case, the correct answer is to just let her words flow naturally..

"Huh. Anyway, with that in mind, this time I decided to carry out a terrorist attack in an area with heroes other than Stardust.."

Although Lee Seol-ah did it with a lot of bravado, I also intended to make it clear that I am not always sniping at Stardus. There are too many evil bugs.

And, now is the perfect timing. They'll probably come to Busan soon..

"In that sense, Choi Se-hee, you are coming with me.."

"Eh? me?"

Choi Se-hee pointed at herself with her finger and blinked. No, I really.

"Of course it's you. Out of all of us, you're the only one with no power, but it's not a given.?"

"ah. Well, it's not cool."

Choi Se-hee bobbed her head as if she understood. Through her fluttering orange hair, I could see Seo-eun's sulky expression behind her..

"....I have to do it quickly too...."

He's muttering something, but it's ominous..

While I was glancing at Seo-eun, Se-hee Choi, who was nodding her head while muttering, asked a question as if something suddenly occurred to her..

"No, but. Didn't I commit a terrorist attack last time? Do it again this time?"

Looking at her questioning gaze, I waved my finger. That's not it.

"No, this time we won't terrorize ourselves.."

"then?"

"Of course I have to get someone else to do it.."

I said that with a grin..

What did I say? Egostream. Didn’t you say you were creating the Villain Alliance? Then, of course, we have to unite with other villains..

It's not exactly a union, but in reality, I'll be taking care of it. Kelkekelkell.

While thinking evil thoughts like that, I also told Subin..

"And Subin. You know how to drive a boat?"

"yes? Oh, I don't know much about big ships, but if it's a small ship, yes, to some extent.."

"also. Then, Soobin, please come with me this time.."

I said that, flicking my hand. Okay, everything is ready. Now all I have to do is contact Lee Seol-ah..

"Next week, we are leaving for Busan.."

That's how our next terrorist attack was decided..

Of course, you can't go to Busan and carry out a terrorist attack right away, and it will take some time to lure another villain..

Now, we need to show it to the world. That I'm not Stardust's bastard. I am everyone's terrorist! Although I think of Stardust as a bit more special, I don't think of Stardust alone. And especially.

'Debt paid off?'

...That day, I kept thinking of Shin Haru's face smiling slightly at me and saying that, there is a problem..

I think I might need to distance myself from Stardust for a while..

Let's prepare for terrorism.

***

"Next week? Good. Yacht? Heh, what are you looking at me for? I am Seol-ah Lee from Yuseong Group. We'll prepare it with the highest quality products, so don't worry, just come.."

"Oh, and I've been talking bad about you to Haru lately, but no matter how much I think about it, it doesn't seem to have much effect, does it? Still, should I just do it? Hmm...."

"Then yes, I understand. See you then."

Lee Seol-ah hung up the phone after talking for a while and smiled alone in her office..

Various abacus was already bouncing around in her head. This time, Egostick's awareness, popularity, influence, and image will increase as he suppresses the terrorist attack that will occur in Busan..

"It's perfect."

Already, after her phone call with Egostick, a plan was being steadily drawn up. First of all, Haru said he would return home in a few days, so it doesn't matter after that... I think it will be perfect if I use the various materials he sent me..

She felt better for the first time in a long time. Something is going according to plan. If this continues, she may be able to achieve her goal to some extent within a few years....

So Seol-ah Lee headed home with a much lighter heart..

What greeted her when she arrived home was Haru eating a mango-flavored popsicle that she had stored in the refrigerator..

"It's a day~."

"Yes? oh."

As soon as Lee Seol-ah arrived home, she hugged Haru, who was waving at her with an ice cream in her mouth..

ha. I feel healed just by being held in Haru’s chest..

"Yes? Why are you like this all of a sudden??"

One day, he was taken aback by the sudden hug, but he didn't pull away and just stood still..

In fact, Seol-ah liked this about Haru. When she acts as a hero, she is more just and strong than anyone else and comes out to yell at the villains, but in fact, as can be seen from her private life, Haru is actually a quite quiet person. Does she seem like a nice, friendly cat? You can tell that this is because even when she hugs you like this, she stays quiet without much resistance..

MBTI actually said I was an introvert. With that thought in mind, Seol-ah finally let Haru go. Haru still looks up at Seol-ah with eyes full of doubt..

Towards her, Seol-ah just smiled and said,.

"just. Something nice happened these days, so I went a little overboard.."

"....okay?"

One day he said that and tilted his head..

That whole day, Seol-ah seemed to be in a good mood. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her tension was high, and it seemed as if she had forgotten to swear at the ego stick for the first time in a while and did not mention it..

And looking at my friend like that,.

One day, I felt something getting more and more frustrating in my heart..

....Well, without any idea why.

So, the day when Egostick would carry out his first terrorist attack in Busan was getting closer..
