gift.

A special power called a God-given gift that suddenly awakened a part of humanity.

However, despite the name of blessing, its power did not always have a positive effect on mankind.

Natural power itself is like a bomb, and those who refuse to control or restrict that power are clearly socially classified as villains (criminals).

Yes, I too belonged to an organization made up of such villains…

“Humanity is still there.”

Now, three years have passed since the organization collapsed.

As I was preparing breakfast in the single room, I suddenly heard someone’s voice.

Is it the sound of an old TV you bought from a junkyard?

“What do you mean?”

No, he was the one sitting in front of him.

A red-haired girl with a sense of maturity and dignity while drinking milk from a glass with animal characters on it.

“Even if Justice is gone, new hope can always appear.”

“Fufu, this is very ironic. They formed an organization and tried to change this society, but in the end they found something to replace the hope we had shattered.”

Was it self-blame that came out of that girl’s mouth?

No, even when he heard that the organization had collapsed, he had a calm expression on his face.

They’re just purely trying to make fun of me.

“Bread.”

She suddenly calls me when I feel a bit uneasy.

Raising her head in response to the name, she asked quietly, putting the mug she was holding in her hand on the floor.

“Do you like this too?”

Keep your gaze still on the TV.

What appeared in it was a broadcast that was often played in the morning, mainly dealing with the introduction of new generations of heroes.

Yes, this person asked me if I like hero broadcasting.

nonsense talk. As a villain, there’s no way I can’t like the pride of heroes, right?

-Twinkle Twinkle Little Star~ Hello, nice to meet you guys, my name is Spiritas! You are a new idol who appeared like a comet from a distant universe to become your hope~

What a magical girl… … .

No matter how many heroes come out with different outfits and personalities, I never thought that there would be heroes with an image targeting girls.

But why is it called Spiritas when she wears a magical girl tag?

Isn’t that the name of spirits?

“Unfortunately, it’s not my taste. In the first place, it was aimed at girls.”

“It’s what girls like… … .”

After giving her a belated answer, she shrugged her chin in interest and looked back at the screen.

“In a nutshell, I’m just a girl, so I should pay attention to that existence from now on.”

“No, that’s what I meant… … .”

“Fufu, I got it. Don’t take my advice seriously.”

After saying that, she takes another sip of the milk from the mug.

I was about to say something when I saw it, then shook my head and turned to the kitchen.

– Tiing~

I guess the toast was done.

“Breakfast is ready.”

“Yeah, let’s go soon.”

After turning off the TV, she followed me to a table in the kitchen.

I carefully set the simple meal prepared in front of her.

It was the beginning of a daily life that I have become very accustomed to now, three years after the organization collapsed.

***

Yes, the organization collapsed.

After the war, those who survived, including the officers, were scattered, and their whereabouts were still unknown.

Of course, the association continues to pursue it, but, coincidentally, the fight for supremacy between the villains to win the vacancy of Ouroboros is fierce.

Thanks to my efforts to solve the problem, there was a loophole in the association’s monitoring network, and I was successful in blending into their society under the pseudonym of Gingerbread.

Of course, to get a better disguise, you need to pay attention to your identity.

“Did you say you have an interview today?”

As I was standing in the hallway after changing into the suit I had prepared, she stood in front of the door to see me off and looked up at me.

In addition to the appearance of her bangs up with a headband, a loose girl’s dress, etc… … .

She looks like an ordinary 7-year-old girl, but the look in her chin looked precocious.

“It’s a newspaper… … . Being a journalist is an essential job in a society where heroes are the main axis. In modern times, all information that the public encounters is handled in their hands.”

“I thought it would be a good place to get information if I was looking for a job.”

“Fufu, information. It seems that you are not very satisfied with your current life.”

Are you not satisfied? yea that’s the way it is

Because I am now living in hiding from the eyes of society, and rebuilding a guild is something I can’t even dream of.

“I’m talking to an old woman, but please refrain from going out.”

But how can I appeal to her for the frustration of him?

“Like last time, you shouldn’t touch kitchen knives or gas stoves out of curiosity. If there is an accident and the police come in, it will be in trouble.”

“No worries. After all, while you’re away, I’m just collecting information with that TV thing.”

“If you are hungry, order what you want through the delivery app. Do you remember what I taught you last time?”

“I remember it. You taught me none other than that, how can I forget it?”

“… Yes Yes. Yes.”

Feeling agitated, he hurriedly turned his head away from her.

The boss I admire considers my words to be teaching. If you look at the old executives, it’s definitely something to talk about.

“Then I’m done talking, so I have to say hello as usual.”

But perhaps the worst part is this.

“My father. Please make sure you go there safely.”

The scene where the person I serve greets me with a smile and sees me off.

Even after three years, it was something I couldn’t get used to.

***

A series of horn sounds coming from the road. Countless people coming and going through the sidewalks and sidewalks in between.

The morning of the city created together was very busy and noisy.

Of course, even a slight delay will lead to traffic jams.

“Wait a minute!”

Immediately after recognizing the vehicles rushing in the rear, my urgency began to grow as I ran towards the bus that had just arrived at the stop.

Damn, I’m going to miss this.

I can’t help it, I have no choice but to catch up even if it’s a little overkill.

– Duduk.

The body jumps forward as soon as you apply power to both legs.

Thanks to that, I succeeded in forcibly grabbing the bus door just before closing… … . Oh shit. This is my knee ligament.

“Hey, aren’t you going to ride?”

“Ah yes. sorry.”

As I endured the pain in my leg and took the bus card, the driver immediately stepped on the accelerator and started driving on the road.

At that moment, the upper body was pushed and the burden was applied to the legs, but now, only a slight throbbing feeling was felt.

Well, ligament ruptures aren’t really a problem for me.

– Beep.

As I sat down to catch my breath, the bus stopped and many passengers were on board.

The woman sitting next to me, unlike me, is presumed to be an office worker. The smell of freshly baked bread wafted from the envelope she held in her hand.

Do you fill your breakfast with bread on the way to work early in the morning?

Thinking that this side also has a lot of trouble, I glanced down at the notebook in my hand.

What I wrote down over the past few weeks to prepare for today’s interview. The contents written in it were teaching me that I was desperate for this interview.

Yes, I’ll have to pass somehow for that person. Recalling that point, I took the time to carefully examine the contents of the notebook in my hand again.

Let’s see, first of all, by emphasizing that I am the father of one daughter, to induce sympathy… … .

-Tutatatata!!

…f*ck it.

what is this again

“Everyone, hold on! From now on, we will take over this place!”

“The moment you resist, I’ll turn it into a beehive, so stay calm!”

The moment I lifted my head with a feeling of doubt, I heard a shout.

With him, I felt the atmosphere around me rapidly becoming rigid.

Those who have figured out the source of the noise before me can see nothing but fear.

The moment I lifted my head, what caught my eye was the sight of men in black masks aiming submachine guns at the passengers.

“Hey, what the hell is this?”

Yes, this was totally unexpected.

That’s because District C, where I live, was an average place in everything from size to economics among the 26 districts in Pangea.

There’s nothing special about being average, but there’s no reason for the villains to go wild, so the security rate is on the high side.

Normally, when an accident occurs, pickpocketing in the middle of the street stops at an intermittent level…

Damn, why did this satanic break out on the day I was interviewed.

“What, what are you trying to do?”

“You will be used as material for negotiations from now on.”

“bargaining… … ?”

To the passengers who felt suspicious, the person who was supposed to be the head began to narrate the circumstances.

They are anti-government groups, revolutionaries fighting to change society on this continent, their colleagues are in prison and need hostages to rescue them, etc… … .

Each and every story is a stereotyped story, so even if you didn’t listen properly, the story behind it would remind you of it.

“Bus driver! Turn to City Hall immediately.”

“Well, it can’t be. If you did that… … .”

“If you don’t turn it around, I can kill the people here one by one!!”

“Uh, uh…!!”

The bus driver clutches the steering wheel with a wrinkled expression at the bloody threat.

The passengers, too, could not show the will to resist, and began to bow their heads in their seats.

Yeah, he’s got a gun and of course he’s afraid.

Of course, I, who plays a member of society, also decided to adapt to the atmosphere first, but… Damn it, what should I do with this?

They say security is good, but that’s because the crime rate is low, not because the arrest rate is high.

Of course, when an incident occurs, the resolution is delayed. Even if there are reports of gunshots being heard, you cannot expect the police to arrive here.

The good news is that their interest has taken away from me?

There is no CCTV on the bus, and everyone around you is bowing your head and not paying any attention.

The key is to find something suitable to cover your face before solving this case…

– Crash.

… Oh yeah.

The bread bag the woman next to me was holding fell off.

It smells like bread, but in an emergency, where is this?

I immediately lifted the bag of bread and revealed myself in front of them, hiding my face with it.

Okay, if you hide your face like this and stand up… … .

“Ubu-bub, bruh.”

Hey wait, I can’t see ahead.

“What, are you going to resist!?”

oh shit

-Tatatang!!

With gunshots, excruciating pain rushed through my body, and eventually my body was drained of strength.

A body that just sits down.

After that, the faint sound of laughter could be heard in the hazy mind.

“What is that bastard?”

“Do you have any gifts?”

“Isn’t it a gun shot with a gift? ha ha ha!”

The laughter of robbers.

Yeah, I’m sure it’s okay to laugh at guys who believe in their abilities and are stingy in front of guns.

Regardless of the gift, it is said that if you wear a superhuman force, you can deflect bullets, but that is the exclusive patent of those who are prepared.

“Uh, huh? what is that guy… … .”

But I have a body that doesn’t even need that kind of dexterity at all.

After raising his blood-soaked body, he faced them from the front.

Also the pain doesn’t go away.

It was natural that bullets were lodged all over his body, but there was one fortunate fact.

‘Two of the bullets that were fired pierced the eye holes.’

He had succeeded in securing the view that had been blocked before.
