I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.13 EP1. Duel with enemies (3)

“road…?”

It’s been a while since I had doubts.

“Aww!”

A scream echoed from afar. In the midst of a disaster that was collapsing on all sides, people who had not yet evacuated were shouting.

Such people currently exist here in heaven and on earth.

Protecting them all and defeating the villains is impossible for even the strongest hero to do it alone.

“There are people in the Ferris wheel over there that I have to protect. I’m a member of a hero, so I won’t have anything to do with you either.”

shit. The situation is urgent, but the day will come when you will borrow cooperation from a hero.

But unfortunately, I had no power.

If I had time, these dwarfs would kill hundreds of people, but right now, it’s impossible to know when the demonic spirits of villains will extend to that Ferris wheel.

“So, if you beat down all the villains you meet on the way there, I’ll save people on your behalf.”

Conversely, she has a knack for knocking down enemies, but she has little experience, so she is not used to relief and rescue other than combat.

Even worse, the villains are determined to take hostages, so it can be said that this side, which has a flair for dealing with them, is more suitable for the rescue side.

“In other words, you’re going to be my sidekick temporarily?”

“You can take it that way.”

“Heh heh, this is so… … .”

And, fortunately, Spiritas now regards me as a member of the hero.

I don’t know what will happen in the future, but at least I won’t be reluctant to cooperate with you right now.

“Okay, I have a lot of questions… At least you don’t seem like a villain, so I’ll work with you first.”

“… … That is an honor.”

Not evil… … .

The evaluation was a bit harsh, but he also accepted that I was doing a good job and turned his back on her.

It would be nice to know what the other person thinks.

The only thing that matters to me is the safety of the boss.

In order to protect him, not only this life, but also dignity and belief can be bent.

– Kwagang!

From the background of me reminding myself of that point, the violent riot of the person called New Hope began again.

and……

***

– Kwaga River!

A loud roar was heard from far away.

The car in the Ferris wheel where the two of them were staying with him shook violently, and the trembling of the girl crouching in the corner was abominable.

The highest floor of the Ferris wheel.

There was no guarantee that the safety devices would work properly, and this situation was bound to create a sense of dread that could not be compared with a high-speed roller coaster.

-Coogong, bang!

What the hell happened out there?

Something happened and the device stopped.

– Aaah!

Are you hearing a terrible scream from outside?

“You don’t have to look too hard.”

A little curiosity that blooms in fear.

As he was afraid to put it into action, someone threw a word at him.

Moa Bread.

Unlike herself, who was crouching down, the girl she had asked for alone was leaning her back against the wall of the Ferris wheel and looking out the window with cold eyes.

“Isn’t that a pretty sight? If you don’t want to see it, you’d better hide like a dead mouse until the situation is cleared up.”

While saying that, her gaze was still directed out of the Ferris wheel.

This place might collapse right now, but how can she stay so calm?

“Moa-san, aren’t you afraid?”

Just looking at such an unconcerned figure made my body tremble a little, but that was only for a moment.

Kugugung! She crouched again in the staggering space with binge drinking, but she still looked at her with an unconcerned face and clasped her chin.

“Certainly, this situation must be terrifying for a young child.”

“yes? what is that… … .”

“I don’t know anything.”

To the girl who feels doubt.

A being in the form of a girl just spoke of her realization.

“Can do anything

A weak existence that can only do anything but receive protection from others.

I can’t help but hope that the cry I shed will win the sympathy of those who oppose me, and that those who protect me will hear it and come to me. ”

“Moa, sir?”

“Until this body grows, I can’t take the initiative in my life… … . I think I can see why he insisted on not leaving the house.”

Yes, these words were not aimed at you.

It’s just my own realization.

In the tragedy unfolding for a bird away from the earth, she rejoices with a realization she never expected.

“Nella.”

At the time when she felt a sense of separation from such a figure, she began to close the distance with herself.

“It is a personal opinion, but I think you are a very proud child. Well, even with such a weak body, she cries but does not burst out in a situation like this.”

The red-haired girl approached like that, and looked into her eyes with her knees bent.

You can feel your lips trembling just by meeting those eyes.

I am still afraid, but I feel something, something my heart is drawn to her.

It’s okay to do anything for yourself… … .

In the eyes that you can feel such generosity.

“Yeah, I’m used to it… … .”

At that moment, when I was drawn out without realizing my feelings and expressed my inner feelings, the curiosity of the transcendental person began to grow less and less.

“You’re used to it… … . What is the situation like now?”

Are you saying you’re used to situations in which so-called villains attack people and the threat is even on you?

It wasn’t something that a 7-year-old girl could go through, but it must have been that she had no choice but to become an adult faster than others.

“Then I want to ask you one thing.”

It’s a problem that normal people would just ignore and move on.

However, she lived in a world completely different from normal people, and was able to see what they could not see.

“You want to ask, what do you mean?”

“What are you afraid of right now?”

Of course, you can’t know everything.

For himself, who is still only at the stage of getting to know humans, to be confident that he can understand everything in the world would certainly be called arrogance.

But Ai is a very honest being with my feelings.

Others only read the emotion of fear, but she was trying to figure out the source of the fear from the honesty.

Is it just a cruel villain that this little girl fears?

To belong to those who are dying at their hands?

No, it’s not like that.

It is clear that what this child is truly afraid of cannot be shared with anyone in a society that worships heroes.

“Are you afraid of heroes?”

“…….”

without words.

Nella’s gaze, facing Moa, immediately fell to the bottom.

“… Come to think of it, the conversation we had before was cut off in the middle.”

Yeah, I can’t share this with anyone.

The public who worshiped the hero, of course, would not have been able to speak to my father who was a hero.

In a society that worships heroes.

The current worries would be too heavy a burden for a 7-year-old girl to carry.

“Obviously, it was a topic about ‘Father’.”

At that question, Nella bit her lip that looked like she was about to burst into tears, and struggled to open her mouth.

“Mr. Moa… … . Do you like Uncle Brad?”

A question that anyone with a family can hear.

Nevertheless, the Transcendent had no choice but to ponder the girl’s question for a while.

The reason was a relationship that started from the stomach.

Is it the feelings that have blossomed in that relationship, whether it is the affection of family, the friendship that has been built up in the still-supervised relationship, or the possessiveness… … . Or because I couldn’t even tell if it was just a heart for the opposite s*x.

“Likes.”

However, in a broader sense, any kind of emotion would be called favor.

Although I can’t say that I understand all those feelings because I’m not human, I could say that with certainty.

“Isn’t that also you?”

“Yes, I like him too.”

The girl was also very honest inside herself.

Although the time together is small, the love he gives to himself is never bound by time.

Only the time we spend together is for ourselves. such a good father If possible, I want to do everything I can for such a father.

“But sometimes, when I see my father working, I think it’s scary.”

But my father is not just a father of one daughter, is it?

“What do you mean scared?”

“The crying man.”

after leaving your side.

When I went out into the street and put on another mask called ‘Ronin Blade’ and set foot in the scene where blood and flesh were splashed.

“It’s the way the people who saw a crying person beheaded and the people who saw it go crazy.”

“…….”

“… I thought it was scary.”

own pain.

A sight to be admired by holding the neck of a person who is running rampant complaining of injustice and displaying it on the street.

People say that it is justice, and that it is the correctness pursued by this age.

But if you are moving towards a more stable society by aiming for such a thing…

– Aww!!

Why is this place called a symbol of peace?

Are they being burned by the hands of those crooked?

-Kurreung, Kung.

There are still noises and screams outside.

That thrill has been transmitted, even faintly, to this space.

“Mr. Moa.”

But for this moment alone, he forgot that reality.

The being in front of me drew it out.

“In the book I read… … . He said that justice is always right. He said that it is justice to save those who are suffering.”

The trouble he had been suffering all along, the conflict.

“Then why did Dad have to harm him?”

Because even the fear that should have been felt at this moment was covered.

“Why didn’t Daddy save him? Is it just because he is in danger?”

No, it doesn’t end with just forgetting the fear.

“Because it’s easier to harm someone than to save someone who is suffering?”

No matter how mature they are, they are still in a state of disrepair.

In such a state, the thoughts awakened at an early stage are too fast and go in an extreme direction.

“Then, the people who are running rampant here now.”

Before long, the little girl should not get off.

“Maybe, like the person my father killed back then… … .”

The moment when such an extreme conclusion was about to be drawn.

“Nella.”

A transcendent who holds the hand of a girl who might be broken like that and calls out her name as if calling her.

“… … Moa?”

Only then does Nella regain her sense of reality and calm herself down.

Moa continued to speak while facing Nella like that.

“You are mistaken about one thing.”

“… … yes?”

“At any time.”

What followed was enlightenment.

At least, after descending on this planet, there is one realization that has not changed until this moment.

“Those who have fallen into evil should never be forgiven.”

I can’t say it’s true yet.

At least for now, one fact that is infinitely close to the truth.
