I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.10 EP1. Hero Land (4)

“… … I don’t know, that.”

It’s a serious story, but, unfortunately, I didn’t know the answer to her question.

Why did the continents on this planet collapse and the remnants merged to form the continent called ‘Pangea’?

Why did some of those who survived such a disaster develop a power called supernatural power?

“Unfortunately, that’s something I don’t even know about.”

And it’s the same with her.

“The power exerted by a being higher than me has affected this land… … . What I can come to is not very different from the conclusions you made.”

Cataclysm and Gifts.

In front of them both, she is no different from me.

Didn’t she actually define the power she was handling as a ‘gift’?

When that power was still in existence, she was only very strong, but if you look at the essence except for the size, she is no different from a human.

Having said that, the boss looked down at his hand bitterly.

Just by looking down at the tiny hand, it was as if you were realizing your own limitations.

“I just remembered the time when I rode the roller coaster and went through space. The fact that I am only a very small being compared to this vast space…”

“… A roller coaster is not a weapon, boss.”

Do all the rideable machines look like weapons?

Well, it wasn’t very incomprehensible.

In fact, after she landed on this earth, everything she saw was like that.

His followers yearn for destruction, weapons are always in their hands, and all the money circulating in the organization is for crime and war.

If the first impression is mostly of personality, then the impression she has on humanity and its creatures is bound to come down to that.

But doesn’t that mean that the person I admired and hoped to follow was the one who reigned above those powers?

Such organizations are collapsing.

Just because it’s camouflage, it melts into human society and continues what we call ‘everyday life’… … .

Perhaps such a time is what makes her originally pursue the purpose of being an apostle from the universe and distanced herself from the mission of destroying mankind?

“Uncle Bread! Moa!!”

But in the end, such worries are my own.

When I woke up, I heard Nella running from afar, shouting and waving her hand.

Time to put on the mask again.

“Yes, you are here.”

“Thank you for waiting.”

“Thank you. When we go back, we will go together.”

Because it was such a request.

Because I am now in a situation where I have to live as a Gingerbread member of society, not as Ouroboros’ pawn.

“Now then, it’s over for me… … . how will we do it? Would you like to have dinner here? Or go out?”

So I have no hatred or murderous intentions for this girl.

Even if this girl inherited the blood of a heinous hero, from the beginning, what I wanted was to create a world where they would not be in the spotlight, not to end the individual hero’s breath.

“there… … .”

While reflecting on such a big picture and acting affectionately, Nella hesitated and began to look into my eyes.

“Uncle Brad, may I ask you a favor?”

“yes? Please, what do you mean?”

“Before we part, there is a story I want to share with Moa. It’s just the two of us.”

drop.

The composure he had previously wanted to maintain was disturbed for a moment.

What did this kid just say? Solo with the boss?

“But it’s just two… … .”

“It’s a secret story!”

“Rain, secret?”

It’s a secret story. What the hell are you doing with the boss?

Oh yeah. First of all, this girl is a girl. Is there anything serious about the girl’s words?

But even so, if you ask me to allow you to be alone with the boss… … .

“Are you okay?”

In the midst of conflict, the boss walked out next to me and faced Nella.

“no… … .”

“Don’t worry. Because there will be no malice in that child.”

He was about to express his concerns, but before that, the boss stroked Nella’s head.

Despite his attitude towards a child who was at the same level as his eyes, he was full of adultness.

Nella blushes as if embarrassed by that action.

The boss smiled faintly and said as if trying to reassure me of concern.

“And I, too, have a sensible body. Don’t worry, I won’t talk nonsense just because I’m out of your eyes.”

“Ah yes… … .”

Did he think that he was worried that the boss would not reveal his identity?

It’s not that I don’t have to worry about that, but isn’t the boss smarter than me?

“If it’s a Ferris wheel, we can talk together for about 30 minutes.”

If the boss says it’s okay, it’s okay.

First of all, believing that, I saw the boss and Nella off to the Ferris wheel.

“Please climb slowly and carefully.”

Two people get on the Ferris wheel with the guidance of the staff.

For the next 30 minutes, a space just for the two of us will be created. I sat on a bench in the park and watched as the two of them slowly climbed up.

I imagined what the two of them would say inside me… … .

Well, Nella’s side was talking about something, so it’s probably a story appropriate to the level of a young girl.

And the boss is someone who likes to hear other people’s stories. He’ll probably be more focused on listening to Nella than he’s going to take the lead.

So you’ll be fine. At least, our existence and mission will not be revealed through the conversation in that space.

If I’m worried, I’m just wondering if the boss will have a ‘personal affection’ for that girl.

‘The Transcendent regards humans as friends.’

That might create an excuse to reveal his identity…

I was worried about that for a moment, then burst out a snort and shook my head.

Even though he is a transcendent, isn’t he someone who wants to understand humans?

Rather, when I was in the organization, I simply followed the flow, so taking the opportunity to take ‘voluntary’ in my actions now may be seen as a good change for a monarch who leads people.

It’s just that I myself can’t participate in the daily life that she wants to enjoy.

Yes, in the end it’s all just acting.

It’s just that she plays her father and plays her daily life to make her wish come true.

And that mindset was something that couldn’t be changed even if it lasted a lifetime.

No matter how faithfully I live in the present, it happened and everything that makes up who I am today comes from the past.

‘Ahhhh!’

see now

Can’t you hear it when you close your eyes?

‘Ahhhh! mama! Aaa mom!!

A girl who, without knowing anything, is swept away by other intentions, and is only crying desperately, and a girl… … .

Those children, whom no one saves, will never be saved no matter how much time passes.

It’s something to be remembered over and over again.

The world is too twisted to go in the right direction, so let’s break it all down and think about it.

Even if it goes far away from my ideal.

Even if it was to melt into such a peaceful daily life, I firmly vowed not to lose my vigor in the process.

– Whoops!!!

The moment I was about to put a wedge on that decision, a loud bang resounded.

“… … uh?”

At that moment, with the elasticity that came out of my mouth, my gaze began to move to the side.

What I can see is a huge shadow flying towards the bench where I am sitting… … .

– Kudangtang!!

***

“…Damn.”

Something huge flew in and how much was it stuck in the debris?

When I felt that my body that had barely been crushed was recovering, I tried to resist the feeling of weight that came over my body by strengthening my body using superhuman strength.

It’s terribly heavy, but not to the point where I can’t lift it.

It’s just that superhuman powers can only be used if they are conscious, so it’s only too late to get out.

Damn, what do you do with regenerative power?

When the head is crushed, the ability to think is also impaired.

– Kurreung.

… nothing

Better than just dying instantly.

“Aaah

So, what now?

-Pop puff! Whoops!

When I came out after pushing out all the fragments that weighed on my body, I was greeted by an explosion that swallowed up even screams.

What caught my eye after that was right in front of me and beyond the horizon. The sight of burning, crushing, and shattering wherever the eye touches.

A terrorist attack took place on Heroland.

“Hey, what the hell is this?”

The situation was more incomprehensible than embarrassing.

This is Hero Land.

As the name suggests, it is one of the places that can be called the main base of heroes, and it is the safest place in Pangea after the Hero Association.

Until before, there were performances between heroes.

For such a large-scale terrorism to take place in such a place, it was only possible to see that the writers who had done this were crazy.

“Kuh-ha-ha!”

And right now, it would be difficult to know what type of self-inflicted it is.

Let’s turn our gaze to the place where we heard the mean laughter. The figure of someone approaching over the debris of rides and buildings caught my eye.

A man with a voluminous body wearing a ragged leather bandana over his head. What he held in his hand was a slaughter cleaver.

An obvious villain to anyone who sees it.

Looking at the bloodstains on his body, it seemed that he had already killed quite a few people at this site.

“Oh, were there any survivors here too!?”

“… … ah.”

I haven’t finished understanding the situation yet, so please take a look.

Same villain.

“I will slaughter your body and display it on the street!”

However, the villain, who had not mastered mind-reading, swung his sword at me in a question-and-answer dance.

No, even if you read your mind, the conclusion will be the same.

To a hero, another hero is a competitor and colleague, but to a villain, another villain is only regarded as an enemy no different from the hero.

Fighting over each other’s territory is frequent, until they engage in a slaughter battle. For that reason, belonging to an organization that makes an oath not to betray each other is the top priority for survival in the villain society.

I am Ouroboros, and I belong to a villain organization that I do not know yet.

That is enough reason to be hostile.

– Scream!

By the time I was reminded of that one fact that had become dull in peace, my arm was cut off by the guy’s sword and began to soar into the air.

Bleeding from the cut surface.

At that moment, the joy of the murderer is revealed under the leather hood.

“Yes, I will give you an arm.”

I straightened the body that had been pushed out as it was, and poked the tip of my finger into the guy’s neck as it was.

“In return, pay for it with your life.”

“Cuckoo!!”

Fingers that have been strengthened by superpowers can penetrate a human body at once.

Did you not think that you would fight back?

A villain who vomits blood without even thinking of strengthening it with superhuman strength.

It’s not destructive enough to shatter, but unless you remodel your body, it’s a blow that would be considered fatal.

“Uh, uh, uh… … .”

A villain who gnaws while grabbing my neck.

If my superhuman strength had been high, I would have cut it right away, but I didn’t want to reduce the pain of the guy who was hostile to me.

“I take my arm.”

If you die painfully, die.

I turned my back on him as it was, and reattached the arm that fell on the floor to the cut surface.
