I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

Ep.117 Her Strategy

“Cough…”

A huge street where people have already fled in all directions, and no one was there.

There, Shin Haru was fighting a giant robot called ‘Starbuster.’

[Haa, haa. I was a little worried because you said she was so strong, but she’s not that strong either!]

A girl inside Starbuster seemed to be a little tired but was somehow trying to provoke her.

Shin Haru was thinking to herself, avoiding the steel fist that flew toward her again.

Egostic, where does he keep bringing these villains?’

Not just one or two, but a few new villains that kept popping out like onions.

A few years after Egostic said he would create a Villain Union on his own, there are already quite a few villains he introduced for the first time. Electra, Le Peace, Death Knight.

And this time, this thing is like a walking armored car. Moreover, a girl is in this mechanical thing.

[Haa. Attack me! Why are you running away?]

…And, by all accounts, this girl seems to be strangely young. She sounds like… Well, A middle or high school student?

Shin-Haru, who made such a judgment, was again engulfed in anger.

Hiring a minor to do a villain job, is Egostic out of his mind?

[Haa, ha! Seeing that you’re running away, you were nothing, auntie!]

….Her thoughts gradually died down as the voice continued.

Shin Haru’s mental state has begun to crack due to continuous provocations.

Obviously, she thought, ‘Egostic is using that poor child!’ until earlier, but now she changed her mind and decided to educate that blind little kid as an adult.

…What do you mean by ‘auntie’? Hah, what kind of rudimentary provocation is that?

How old is she? Hah, I’m so pissed.

A childish provocation that no villain had ever said to her, rather filled her with anger.

But it’s no good to mess things up in front of those feelings.

‘A first-class hero is a person who has to kill her feelings and compete with a rational reason.’

“……”

The words she was always told.

Recalling her past memories, she cooled her head and analyzed the situation once again.

Thud-. Thud-.

Now, that robot keeps attacking, and she’s fighting defensively, avoiding it or sometimes blocking it.

And the girl in the machine.

[Arggghhh! Stop avoiding me, fight me!]

“……”

She was getting annoyed with Stardus, who kept running away and only stopping her attack.

[Avoiding this, too? Then what about this? Hey!]

Stardus responded defensively to watch the situation turn for now.

Looking at her, the girl in the machine murmured.

[No, I can’t figure the more I fight. Why does he always care about you?]

“…..!”

And at the words she threw for a moment, Shin Haru paused.

…He only cares about me?

At that moment, her heart started beating, and Shin Haru turned her head.

In fact, Egostic, there isn’t that much information about him. He’s a veiled guy who always says what he wants to say and disappears.

Avoiding the incoming attack again, she glanced in Egostic’s direction.

Sitting on one of the wire fences floating in the air, he’s talking to the camera.

Yeah, maybe now is the time.

Egostic. An opportunity to get information about him, which is more important than anything else.

…A chance to find out more about him, which she’s always wondered about.

Having made such a judgment, Stardus soon threw herself away for a moment, distanced herself from what was called ‘Starbuster’, and shouted at her in an angry voice.

“You. Where did you come from? Are you Egostic’s new minion?”

A word was thrown out in anger and in a subtle mixture of provocation to obtain information.

Maybe Electra or Death Knight that she’s been dealing with so far is just ‘Hmm… well?’ or ‘Hahaha!’, it would’ve ended with just that kind of answer.

[What? I’m not newly hired. I’m a colleague who was with him from the beginning.]

Bingo.

As expected, the girl in that robot began to talk smoothly.

It’s a little annoying to emphasize that she’s been with him since the beginning, or to pretend to be close to him by calling him ‘Oppa’, but… Actually, she can take advantage of this.

Shin Haru asked once again, still angry on the outside. In the most ridiculous voice in the world.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone already knows that you’re not Egostic’s first mate. If you were a colleague in the first place, what would you have been doing?”

[Damn it…!]

Hearing her provocation, the girl burst into anger and began to control the robot more aggressively.

She threw a much stronger attack than before.

Avoiding the fists, Stardus listened attentively to what the girl was saying.

[I’m the first colleague. I’m the one who’s done all the hijackings behind the scenes! This is so frustrating!]

A little girl spoke up as if she felt so unfair.

As Stardus heard so, she raised her voice slightly as if she was surprised and asked.

“You’ve done all the hacking so far? Where the hell?”

[Of course, in the same house…]

The girl who had been talking so excitedly, suddenly stopped talking in the middle.

Then, she whispered so quietly that she could barely hear it.

‘…Huh? Wait, oppa. Isn’t it okay to tell? It’s not?… All right, hing.’

She was whispering with someone but soon shouted out loud again.

[…Stop saying nonsense, just fight!]

After saying that, she now closed her mouth tightly and concentrated on the battle.

‘…Tsk.’

Chuckling her tongue inside and avoiding the attack again, she looked back, and Egostic was looking this way.

…She was almost there, it’s a shame.

But it doesn’t matter.

For the rest of the talk, she can listen to it after dragging this kid to the association.

Soon she stopped acting passively, continuing to avoid it from earlier, and began to revive her body.

Her sudden change of momentum

And at the same time.

She jumped at Starbuster again. Furiously

[…Huh? Wait]

Let’s get it over with.

That was the only thought she had.

***

There is nothing but despair in this world.

It is a hell of a world where constant malice and everything that accelerates destruction are boiling at the root of the world like a poison.

Humans try to kill humans.

Even monsters try to kill humans.

Such a terrible world, even God is willing to kill humans.

I am, of course, trying to stop it…

The number of destruction cases is gradually decreasing one by one.

Of course, I don’t know how long this will last.

It may not be long before I can meet Stardus with a smile while doing terrorism like this.

‘…Well, it’s a little early to think about this already.’

It’s still peaceful.

Numerous citizens were not killed in droves like ants, nor did Seoul become a ruin and the fate of the Republic of Korea began to decline.

“……….Not bad”

I muttered so.

Yes, the peace of the world is preserved. I did everything.

It’s good that the world is peaceful.

But it’s so peaceful that now it’s a society where people suck villains like me.

“…Not bad, the weather is not bad. To kill you!”

“Eeeeeekkkkkk!”

Sitting cross-legged on a wire fence, I waved my gun and shouted at the person below me. With a smile.

A woman hid in a corner shivering.

Yeah, it’s good because the reaction is great. In fact, she was sitting on the bars because she was the one who reacted the loudest earlier. She’s good at reacting. Good.

Anyway, I sneaked a look at the chat window, where I forcibly put disarmed civilians in bars and laughed while threatening to kill them. This is enough for people to be scared, angry, and swear at me, right?

[Kyaaaa hahahahaha. Mango Stick looks like a villain after a long time hahaha.]

[If you want to be trapped in the bars instead, press like hahaha.]

[I want to see Ego oppa smiling sexily and threatening me with a gun… I’m so jealous]

[It’s cute when Mango does something… Hehe Isn’t this god moe?]

[I’m in a taxi right now, and if I run there, will you put me in the bars?]

…I was wrong. These people are crazy.

Please, please, just one person, curse at me.

Did the members rent this chatroom? Is that so?

With that in mind, I turned my head again and watched Stardus and Starbuster fighting.

Seo-eun, who still pushed Stardus, and Stardus, who are busy avoiding Starbuster.

….It’s strange. Stardus can’t handle that much with her current abilities? What’s going on?

In the first place, Eun-wol and I were waiting to save Seo-eun’s starbuster, expecting it to be broken soon, but it feels strange because it was getting longer. Is Stardus in bad condition today?

Anyway, that’s better. I’m just gonna keep the ‘Evil Deed’ project going.

I pushed a gun at a woman who was still shaking, then laughed at her.

“Now! Let me ask you a question, stranger A.”

“Eeeeeeeek!”

“If you get this right, I’ll let you go. What do you think? Cool, right? Hurry up and say yes!”

“Eeek. Okay, yes!”

“Yeah, yeah. All right. Here’s the question. When did I start the first terrorist attack?”

I grinned as I said so.

Yeah. ‘Evil deed’ project number two. Ask questions that they can never guess. It’s like a psychopath villain who teases and bullies a hostage who can’t keep answering.

As I tried to make fun of her for not being able to answer, a small voice suddenly came from inside the cage.

“…April. April… 17th.”

She answered in a trembling voice.

And the date is.

That was the answer.

…How did you know? Did you take it?

I had a brain freeze for a moment, so I turned my head and looked at her. What is she doing?

She was still shivering, making eye contact with me and lowering her head. On her cheeks, there was a slight flush, completely different from before.

“…Eeeeek.”

And the scream was less sincere than before.

…All right. I should stop looking. It’s really uncomfortable.

“…I’m afraid you’re wrong! So you can’t go out. You should still be stuck here. Hahahaha!”

[??? Isn’t it April 17?]

[Yeah, that’s right. April 17 was the date of his first terror attack]

[No, she was right. Why is he doing dirty? Hahahah]

[Wait, how did she know that in the first place???]

[Fuck. Isn’t she from Mango Union too? Hahahaha.]

I clenched my teeth and ignored the chat window.

I know nothing.

After finishing the conversation with the hostage who only left something uncomfortable, I looked at the place where Stardus and Seo-eun were fighting again.

And there.

[I’m the first colleague. I’m the one who’s done all the hijackings behind the scenes! This is so frustrating!]

There was Seo-eun, who was blowing information to Stardus.

…Seo-eun, please.

“You’ve done all the hacking so far? Where the hell?”

[Of course, in the same house…]

As Seo-eun was trying to give her the very internal information, I urgently muted the broadcast and whispered to Seo-eun through the in-ear.

“Hey! S-Starbuster, you cannot talk so much there! Stop talking!”

Seo-eun heard me and stopped spilling words at Stardus, she whispered the same thing through the earphones connected to me.

“…Huh? Wait, oppa. Isn’t it okay to tell?”

“No, it’s not okay.”

“It’s not?… All right, hing.”

Soon, Seo-eun answered with a slightly down voice.

I feel a bit sorry, but I can’t help it. Shin Haru has such a good sense. I need to be careful with information.

So Seo-eun shut her mouth and started fighting as I requested.

Stardus, who failed to get information accordingly, suddenly began beating up Starbuster as if she was only acting and had been pushed back earlier.

…I knew it.

“Eun… Moonlight Shaman, Moonlight Shaman, respond. I think it’s time to step up.”

[Yes, Da-in. Roger that!]

Listening to Eun-wol’s brave voice coming over the other receiver, I slowly began to loosen my arms and get ready to step out.

Get ready to save Seo Eun, who will be defeated soon.

Gosh, this is so tiring.
