I Became a Framed Villain

Episode 17 – Trading

– Cheek…

“trauma?”

Great, who had a slightly wary expression on the sudden traumatic action, opened his mouth with a confused expression.

“What are you doing there now?”

A class-A villain who neutralized the second-ranked hero in less than a week after his debut.

An uncontrollable figure who just killed 2/3 of the sidekick in her office.

– To and fro…!

Such a terrifying being was slicing green onions in the kitchen with a familiar skill.

“I’m cooking.”

“No, so why?”

Great, who managed to catch his mind from being confused by the cheerful sound of knife cutting and the sound of boiling water, grabbed his head and threw a question.

“From now on, we will share the joys and sorrows together for a long time, but we should treat them to cooking.”

“What is that…”

“Just think of it as a celebration. Isn’t it lunch time anyway?”

After that, the trauma started to focus on cooking again.

As he said, it was lunch time.

I also liked the smell wafting from the kitchen.

And considering that he’s a person who doesn’t know where his trauma will run, the motive behind the cooking itself wasn’t particularly incomprehensible.

‘Let’s eat in this state?’

However, the office was now lined with sidekicks who were cooling off on the floor.

In such a situation, Trauma was absorbed in cooking with blood on his clothes.

“…….”

Apparently he was more insane than he thought.

“It’s done. Let’s eat before it gets cold.”

“Before that, I have a question.”

After thinking about it for a long time, Great poses a question to Trauma, who brings a steaming kimchi stew in front of him.

“The stew is getting cold…”

“Why do you want to infiltrate the Academy and the Hero Union?”

At first, for the purpose of being Kang Ha-neul, she thought that she had to cooperate with trauma unconditionally.

However, seeing the trauma that had been going on for only a few minutes after entering the office, I thought I should know the reason.

“If you really think of me as a business partner, I can tell you that much.”

“Did I tell you before?”

Because of this, the trauma of answering the Great with sharp eyes and a quiet smile.

“There are students in the academy that must be protected.”

“Is that really all there is?”

But the Great begins to question him fiercely.

“Then there would be no need to join the Hero Alliance.”

“Oh, that’s another reason.”

“What is that?”

“I want to turn the world upside down.”

Then, the trauma’s eyes brightened and he began to explain.

“I will soon prove to the world that monsters exist.”

“……..!”

“The preparations are already almost finished. No matter how much the upper towns try to hide information, it will be difficult this time.”

“Is it because of Pandora’s existence?”

“You know it well.”

Great knew. Over the past few years, strangely, information related to the ‘monster’ has been concealed.

However, with Pandora, an executive who recently joined the Villain League, it will no longer be difficult to completely conceal information.

As Lumia, who gave her the attention to the existence of monsters a few days ago, said, the existence of monsters will be revealed to the world sooner or later.

“Well, actually, Pandora’s existence isn’t the end of the plan.”

“Is there another weapon to prove the existence of the monster?”

“Well, you’ll see for yourself later.”

Having said that, the trauma raised an eyebrow and continued the story.

“Anyway, the important thing is after the existence of the monster is known to the world.”

“After that…”

“Heroes can’t kill a villain without a special reason, right?”

“…right.”

Heroes dominate. Karma is restraint and enforcement.

That is the rule of the present day.

“But, what if I killed him once and he was actually a monster?”

However, Trauma was denying that discipline from the front.

“For example, the current director of the Inspection Bureau who is rumored to be taking bribes. Secret intelligence agents who are assassinating heroes without knowing it, but can’t find evidence. Monsters in the costumes of top-ranking heroes.”

“……..”

“I killed such people with only my heart, but it turned out that if they were monsters, they would be innocent.”

in a fairly bizarre way.

“No matter what position or position you hold, no matter what wealth or social prestige you have, it will be of no use in the future.”

“……..”

“Monsters aren’t people.”

Trauma whispered in a low voice to the speechless Great.

“And when such a new era arrives, what if the only person who can accurately identify a monster debuts as a hero?”

“ah…”

“Maybe that hero will be a game changer.”

It was as Trauma said.

If such a hero really appeared.

And if that hero had a force that was too strong to control.

No matter how powerful he is in the world,

And it will become an existence that no other force can dare to resist.

No, rather, the whole world will send him a love call.

“This is why I want to debut as a hero.”

And there was a person in front of her who would become such a person in the not-too-distant future who met all those conditions.

“Do you understand now?”

And that presence, while wearing an apron, was giving her a steaming kimchi stew.

.

.

.

.

.

“Then, are you doing these things to become that kind of person?”

Great, who had not been able to speak for a long time, finally made up his mind and opened his mouth.

“Ultimately not.”

“then…”

“In order to stably hand over the position to the person who deserves to be like that, we are laying the groundwork in advance.”

After hearing those words, Great tilted his head and asked a question.

“Is that person… the student that the academy has to protect?”

“Now, eat slowly. The stew will cool down.”

But the trauma that cut his chin on his hand only smiled softly as he said that.

“then…”

Hearing the detailed plan of the trauma, the Great, who had relaxed to some extent, pondered for a moment and then raised his spoon.

‘You just have to pretend to eat in moderation.’

Of course, there was no way I could have an appetite at the scene where the monsters in sidekick masks were scattered, so I was just pretending to eat in moderation.

“…uh?”

However, even thinking about that for a moment, Great’s eyes widen as he scoops out the soup and puts it in his mouth.

“How is it, is it delicious?”

“…….”

As Trauma said, the stew was really delicious.

If the situation hadn’t been like this, I would have devoured and ate it, risking my face.

“what…”

However, the important thing was that the kimchi stew had a familiar taste for some reason.

‘Is it because of the mood?’

Because of this, she tilted her head for a while, but soon thought it was her mood and passed the question.

It was because she had only eaten Kimchi stew a few times in the past, so there was a clear lack of comparison.

“Hey, this stew…”

After raising the spoon a few more times, the Great moved his gaze forward to say that he couldn’t eat any more because of his face.

“……!”

Then, for a moment, she trembled.

“Why?”

The trauma of taking off the fedora hat that he had been wearing deeply.

I don’t know if it was a joke of fate, but his face was quite similar to that of Kang Ha-neul.

“………”

Of course, the detailed features were different. His eyes were different colors, his right eye didn’t look weak, and he had an older face than Kang Ha-neul.

If Kang Ha-neul had a secretive atmosphere, and if she was only 10 years older in her condition, would she not have looked like this?

“…No, no.”

After thinking about that for a while, Great shook his head with a wry smile.

“nothing.”

According to the trauma and his genetic test results, he was not his kin.

In other words, there was no possibility that he was Kang Ha-neul.

It was rude to even compare him, who was a little tasteless in the first place, but was sure of his goal, and Kang Ha-neul, who murdered Justia.

“…Hmm.”

While organizing his thoughts like that, Great, who unknowingly scooped another spoonful, lifted his head at the sound of laughter that came from in front of him.

“……?”

Trauma was looking at himself and smiling.

“Why are you making that face?”

When Great asks a question with bewildered eyes, the trauma of staring at her for a moment and then lowering her head.

“It makes me happy to see you enjoying your meal.”

“But it looks like your expression is pretty complicated to say the least.”

Having said that, the traumatic sighed quietly after hearing Great’s questioning voice.

“It’s just that I remember the old days.”

“……?”

“Oh, by the way, you didn’t state my request.”

Then, suddenly, he crossed his legs and said that trauma.

“…Now that’s a requirement?”

“If you think about it, aren’t you on the same side as the game-changer in the hero society?”

“It is, but…”

“No matter how much you think about it, it doesn’t make sense. So, I have to ask you one thing.”

At first, Great, who had a displeased expression on his face, then closed his eyes and sighed quietly.

“Tell me first. Let’s hear it.”

Anyway, now she was in Eul’s position.

It was because the trauma had enough momentum to proceed with work even without confidence.

It’s just a booster role that can add more momentum.

As the person who proposed the deal in the first place, no matter how one-sided the request was, I had no choice but to listen to it.

“I was quite worried.”

“…….”

“What requirements should I say, what bad conditions should I attach to make you more troublesome?”

Great, who had closed his eyes thinking about that, swallowed his saliva when he heard Trauma’s mischievous voice.

“…It’s a joke.”

Then, she quietly opens her eyes at the remarks of trauma.

“Every time we meet in the future, please have a meal together.”

“…Is that all?”

“Yes, that’s all.”

Trauma whispers as he quietly holds Great in his eyes as he looks at himself with a worried expression.

“All I want from you is that.”

Upon hearing that, Great began to look at the trauma with strange eyes, and there were dozens of missed calls from Lee Se-ah on his smartphone.

.

.

.

.

.

Meanwhile at that time.

The residence of the world’s leading conglomerate, the chairman of the Shinwa Group.

“What do you mean, senior Se-ah?”

Himari, who had come to see the chairman who had woken up from life support after a few months, received a phone call in front of the door with an expression of incomprehension.

“Rumia-san is a woman. What the hell are you talking about…”

“My lady, the president is waiting for you.”

Then, when she heard the voice of the secretary waiting in front of the door, she quietly nodded and moved on.

“…For now, we’ll talk later.”

After leaving those words behind and hanging up Sae-ah’s phone, which she couldn’t understand at all, she took a deep breath and entered the door.

“Hello, Chairman.”

Then, a voice filled with joy echoed through the room.

“Yes, it’s Himari.”

The person responsible for turning the Shinwa Group into one of the world’s leading conglomerates. Cold-blooded, not even a single drop of blood comes out even when pricked with a needle.

And despite being judged at the end of the day, Suwan-ga, who has been living for 10 years, has not lost power within the group.

The chairman of the Shinwa Group, who has a terrifying potential that people in power cannot even stand up in front of them.

“By the way, didn’t I ask you to call me Grandpa?”

“…grandfather.”

“Heh heh heh! Yeah, that’s better.”

But he, too, was an ordinary grandfather to his granddaughter.

“Did you laugh a little bit these days?”

“…yes.”

“That’s lucky. Hahaha…”

In fact, he was no ordinary grandfather.

The president’s favoritism for granddaughters was quite famous even within the group.

The fact that she, who had been around the group, emerged as a potential successor candidate and was able to use the group’s name outside was all possible thanks to the strong support of the president.

“Then, I’ll give you a delayed report.”

“Yes, I want to draw.”

Himari was well aware of that, so he started to look through the documents, even smiling, which he doesn’t normally wear.

For the president, who fell into hibernation for a certain period of time to maintain his short lifespan, it was essential to report what had happened.

And this report would be a new turning point for Himari.

A series of events that occurred after Justia’s death.

As a result, Kang Ha-neul’s downfall and Lumia’s efforts.

By reporting them, the moment had come to completely turn Grandpa’s heart.

Even though she left Kang Ha-neul, for some reason her grandfather had supported him.

No matter how much his benefactor, his grandfather, Himari hated it.

Because now she had Lumia, not Kang Ha-neul.

Of course, she couldn’t say it out loud, but it would be a different story if she reported the Justia incident.

It was clear that Grandpa would completely turn his heart to Kang Ha-neul and acknowledge Lumia.

“…Above, this was a brief report on Justia’s death.”

With that thought in mind, she quickly finished the report.

“And what I would like to add about this incident is…”

Eventually, Himari looked at Grandpa and tried to put her thoughts into action.

“… Himari.”

“yes?”

Without finishing his words, he froze on the spot.

“What are you guys doing?”

Her grandfather, who always looked at Himari with a warm and kind expression.

“What the hell have you done?”

For the first time, he was glaring at her with cold eyes.

“…grandfather?”

Feeling that something was wrong, Himari started to break out in a cold sweat as she called out to her grandfather in a crawling voice.
