chapter 5
5 – My fatally deadly girlfriend (2)
“Can I ask you something too?”
Next, a question came from Ruina.
“Of course. Ask me anything.”
“I don’t know much about heroes. But I don’t know nothing either. I remember quite a few famous heroes who lost an arm or a leg in my hands.”
“An arm or a leg…”
Ruina said something terrifyingly casual.
For a moment, she, who had become SSS-ranked villain, faded, only to regain a deep color.
So, what could she be curious about, complaining about being a hero all the time?
“Anyway, what I want to ask is. Are you really a hero?”
“Huh?”
“I’ve never heard of a hero name called ‘Handler’ before. If there was a hero with abilities like yours, I would have definitely gone to meet them somehow. Besides, even your outfit doesn’t seem to scream ‘hero’ at all. If I were to say, um… a civil servant?”
“Ha… ha…”
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Louina’s precise guess.
I lowered my head slightly.
Wearing the standard look of a civil servant, known as the so-called “ballpoint pen.”
My figure was seen, standing tall in the attire of a civil servant.
It was more than surprising that Louina didn’t question my appearance anymore.
In fact, heroes were required to wear distinctive attire to stand out from ordinary people.
Why don’t police officers wear uniforms all the time?
It’s a similar context.
Clearly, the heroes she had seen and met so far must have dressed up in flashy costumes at best, or childish ones at worst.
Therefore, as a hero handler, my attire was considered a violation of regulations.
Should I just tell the truth here?
Actually, it’s only been an hour since I became a hero.
I didn’t even become a hero by taking a competitive exam, so it wouldn’t matter whether I kept it a secret or not.
Moreover, above all, it was Louina’s question that was bothering me.
With a half-hearted lie, I might hurt her feelings for no reason.
“Is it finally happening? Should I say I’ve become a hero for you? hahahahaha…”
Right after a mischievous thought occurred to me,
I blurted out the truth as it was.
It was at that moment.
Crackle!!
Louina, who had been running for a while, suddenly came to a halt, scratching the ground for a long distance.
Thanks to that, I found myself burying my nose into the warm scent emanating from the back of Louina, who had been confined for a week.
“Lu, Louina…? Is there something in front of us?”
“Darling…..”
Did I say something wrong!?
It was when her voice suddenly dropped by about half a tone, making me feel extremely nervous.
After Louina gently laid me down on the ground,
She turned to me with sparkling eyes even in the darkness.
But that wasn’t all.
A crescent moon was blooming at the corner of her mouth.
“I knew it. I thought I could endure for a day, but I guess not.”
Louina grabbed my hands tightly with both of hers.
Her fingers intertwined with mine.
It was something lovers often do.
“For a villain like me, to become a hero for me… I like it even more, I can’t stand it anymore.”
“Wait, wait, just a moment, Luina. Your face is so close…!”
In Luina’s sparkling eyes, which were approaching me closely, was a heart filled with affection for me.
Could it be that I became a hero for her, just by telling her the truth as it is?
“You. You’re going to be with me~ forever, right? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah!?”
“Uh, yeah. Of course…”
I ended up agreeing in a daze.
Who wouldn’t agree when an SSS-class villain is acting like this right in front of them?
In response to my answer, Luina laughed slyly and licked her upper lip with her tongue.
My tightly held hands were immobilized with unbelievable strength, unable to even move.
A strangely throbbing atmosphere.
Luina’s half-closed, sticky eyes.
Even though I’ve lived for a period of time without a girlfriend, I couldn’t know what she was going to do next.
“I, I want to kiss you.”
“B-b-but we still don’t know much about each other…!”
“We’ll get to know each other little by little from now on.”
“The atmosphere in this forest is a bit…!”
“It’s more atmospheric than doing it in the middle of the road.”
“I’m not ready in my heart yet…!”
“The choice lies only with the strong. My dear♡”
Would anyone have dared to imagine it just before leaving work today?
I mean, sharing a kiss with the SSS-class villain beauty in the dark, empty forest.
My first kiss was incredibly soft, moist, and fervent.
Compelling.
◈
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Before I knew it, we had reached the end of the forest.
I was half-dazed.
Walking side by side with Luina, running my fingers over my lips.
The lingering sensation of an unexpected first kiss still remained.
To think that I would engage in an act I thought I would never do, with such a stunning beauty.
Not to mention, she wasn’t just pretty, but also the most dangerous villain in the world.
I swallowed hard and looked back at Luina, holding her hand.
It seemed like she was enjoying my gaze.
She met my eyes and smiled bashfully.
It turns out that this was also Luina’s first kiss.
Considering she had never held hands with anyone alive before, it was somewhat expected.
Perhaps it was because we were each other’s first.
We were just inexperienced in kissing, but even that made our hearts race incessantly.
Could it be that there’s something else I have to do when I get home…?
“Is this a factory? But all the lights are off.”
As my heart raced with an ominous delusion,
Luna looked at the dim scenery in front of her and spoke.
I, too, quickly returned to reality and glanced around.
As she said, this place seemed like an abandoned factory site that hadn’t been in operation for a long time.
I heard that many factories in the metropolitan area are relocated to rural areas due to various regulations.
It seemed like this place was also abandoned in that way.
Not only was it eerie to look at such a place,
But it was also often used as the secret hideout for villains, so it was best to avoid it if possible.
“Could it be that it’s here too…?”
“Hm? What?”
“It’s nothing. Let’s quickly get out of here.”
With a gentle smile, Luna reached out and lightly pulled my hand towards her.
“Oh my, oh my. Do you think this is a motel?”
A gruff and bold voice just had to be heard.
“Hah… Couples these days come to secluded places like this to have their flings.”
“Oh, really? The girl is quite pretty, isn’t she?”
“I find the guy quite cute. hehehe.”
It wasn’t just one person.
Several men’s voices overlapped from different directions.
But, the last guy, isn’t he going the wrong way…?
In the midst of feeling a strange chill on my buttocks.
Several flashlights turned on, illuminating us.
Even if there were ten rays of dazzling light, they couldn’t match Inyoung’s radiance.
Apparently, this place had already become the base camp for these guys, a dangerous area.
“So, why have you come here?”
A restless, burly, tattooed bald man approached.
He was probably the boss around here.
His face was not listed in the usual villain lineup I encountered while working.
In other words, he was just a neighborhood thug.
“We were just passing by….”
I casually blocked the path in front of Luina and faced off with the tough guy.
“Just passing by? That’s a load of nonsense. Clearly, you came in here without anyone noticing.”
“What were you planning to do with that girl here?”
“We just wanted to take a look, hehehe.”
The thugs gradually closed in on us.
I clenched my lips tighter in the increasingly hostile atmosphere.
But my attention was not on the surrounding thugs, it was focused on Luina, who was holding onto my hand tightly.
Of course, these guys didn’t know Luina.
If something were to upset Luina in this situation…
“We’re on our way home, just as you said. Any complaints?”
Before I could reply,
Luina, in the end, gave a cheeky response first, looking fiercely at her.
The bald guy smirked and whistled.
“Whew~ Quite stylish for a tough lady.”
“Of course, of course. You’re shaking like crazy, hehehe.”
“They say high-handed women have weak butts.”
“Right. How about me instead of that side’s shabby stuff? I’m sure I’m much more satisfying than what’s on your side, right?”
“Wait a minute. It’s better not to say such things…”
I was about to reach out to stop those guys who didn’t even hesitate to s*xually harass Luina.
Fwisht–!!
Right at that moment, a tearing sound filled the air, coming from the perverted guy who had just made lewd remarks to Luina.
Kwaaah!!!
Following that, a silhouette of a man cutting through the darkness was accompanied by a gruesome noise as it slammed into the wall of the abandoned factory.
“………….”
““………….””
Of course, me too.
The gangsters all stared at the small fist that had caused the violent noise.
“I can endure being insulted, but I can’t tolerate them insulting us.”
Luna stretched out her fist and lowered her voice.
Her cold face, which had just been blushing and smiling while kissing me, was so different that it made me wonder if she was the same person who had just committed murder.
“What… is that… right now…”
As if she couldn’t grasp reality.
The bald man alternately shone a flashlight on us and the hole-ridden wall of the factory.
The gangsters surrounding us began to slowly move away at the pitiful end of their comrade.
“He’s… he’s… powerful!!”
“Is that person dead!?”
“Po… police! Call the police quickly!!”
“Hel… help!!!”
What on earth is going on?
The gangsters are the ones calling the police and looking for a hero.
“hehehehe. Let’s go, darling♡”
“Uh, okay……”
Whether they ran away in confusion or not.
Luna, who clung to me tightly, was a villain of the SSS class, even if her abilities were sealed.
She was my fatally charming girlfriend.
