I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.22 EP2. Heir of Heaven (3)

“On this beautiful starry night, so that I can feel the dazzling you! Will you come to me like a falling star?”

“Ahhhh! Spiritasu!!”

“This is the best Spiritasu!!”

A shout that returns to the music.

The sound team and the broadcasting team, who were worried that the music might be buried in the shout, began to move busily behind the stage.

Even that, there is a shortage of manpower and it is difficult to know where to start. Eventually, one of the staff members began to look at me desperately while moving the equipment.

“Manager!! Can you help me with this one!?”

If you give me any money, I have to help.

“Don’t bring judgment on the evil villains! Come on everyone! Ultimate~!”

“Shooting star!”

Despite their efforts, Kana and 50,000 fans enjoying everything they can enjoy… … .

No, only the fans are happy. It’s hard to see from the camera or from the crowd, but if you glance behind the stage, you can clearly see the sweat on his face.

To teach her that she did her best on the previous stage.

As I have always watched and felt, she was a person who never neglected her stage for even a single moment.

“Everyone, I think today’s stage will have to end here. But did you all enjoy it?”

Offstage, as a person, there are a lot of things that I missed, but still, on stage, at any time, he does his best for the satisfaction of his fans.

The Spiritas I have seen were such a hero.

But if you ask me if it’s always good to look like that, it’s not.

“Encore! Encore! Encore!!”

“Oh, an encore?”

“Encore! Enkoo!!!!”

A scene where the voices of the fans are gradually increasing. Spiritas, not knowing what to do about it, trembled and turned his gaze to me behind the stage.

“That, that… . My schedule is a bit busy… … .”

No, look at me and tell me what to do.

I don’t have time, so stop here.

“Hey, I don’t know! Band team, please ask for music!”

“Hey wash… … .”

– Doo-doo, tak!!

Even the profanity that came out of her voice was swallowed up by the sound of the band, and her cheers began to resound on the stage again.

… … Damn, people have to do what’s good for them.

“Hey, what are you really doing… … .”

“Okay, I can send my luggage later, so I’m ready to go to the next site.”

Spiritas comes down from the stage and takes a deep breath only after completing the 4th verse.

There are a lot of things I want to ask, but I don’t have time right now.

“Is that again?”

“Otherwise, we won’t be on time.”

“Then ignore the encore request… … .”

“Okay, so come here!”

damn it. I really hate this.

As soon as she was forced out of the building, she grabbed her waist with all her might.

The moment when you try to back hug the best idol in Pangea.

It was a sight that would make other fans faint, but what I was feeling at this moment was none other than fear.

“Then I will go!!”

A body soaring into the sky with a shout.

After that, everything I could see turned into afterimages, and then it turned pure white, and only the tinnitus rang out in my ear, ‘Cheer up!’.

Yes, seeing the world at the speed of Mach is so dizzying.

It is clear that it is the end of a human being to experience this with his bare body without any other protection or equipment.

“… … Uncle, are you okay?”

When I arrived at the next scheduled place, a question that suddenly followed.

But I fell to the floor and didn’t even have the energy left to respond to that voice.

The muscles and joints of the whole body are all crushed, and the accident doesn’t go on properly as if the frontal lobe has melted… … . Damn, I think I can see why the managers of my previous generation would beat me in less than three days even if I paid a lot of money.

An idol running at Mach speed to meet a tight schedule.

I’ve searched hundreds of times if it’s not me.

***

Spiritas.

It is said that she has an enormous amount of superhuman powers than ordinary superhumans, and the total amount of her power reaches a level that exceeds that of other S-class heroes even if it is used only for pure physical ability or discharge.

The leaping power alone is comparable to the speed of Mach. A superman among superhumans who can throw at Mach speed even if it is only 2 seconds long, even if it is released from one’s hand.

But if you can achieve that speed, wouldn’t there be no need to take the train as it is now?

“No, that’s it. I am also a person who eats and poops.”

“… Don’t talk shit while you’re eating.”

“How do you feel? I applied for a private room to talk like this.”

“No, what do you mean you do it in a place that no one else sees…”

“under! I was aiming for this time!”

“Hey, don’t take my fried eggs!!”

Private rooms on high-speed trains.

While we were sitting there having a meal, the woman who looted my fried eggs started to smile brightly.

“I’m sorry~ But because I’m growing up, I have to eat a lot!”

“… … The growing season is bullshit. It would just be bad fuel economy.”

And don’t you think I don’t need rice?

Even if I am a person with the ability to regenerate, it is not the ability to create something from nothing, but the ability to constantly preserve the existing physical state.

A lack of nutrients also affects the body. I mean, like you, I have to eat and poop to maintain my body.

“What,

anyway… … . Due to the nature of my abilities, I am strong, but I am not in good physical condition. On the contrary, I am not as good at controlling my strength as other people, like now.

Except when we live without super manpower, the waste of energy is rather large.”

“… Oh, is it?”

Eww, how did I end up serving this pink bastard?

She sighed and pondered for a moment what she had said.

It’s a huge waste of power… Yeah, I know what you’re talking about.

For example, a C-class hero’s ability is 10, and her superhuman ability is 100… … . No, it’s probably going to be more than that, but let’s assume that’s about it.

Assuming that a C-class uses 10% of her superpower, it will consume 1 when she uses her superpower, but she will use 10 superpower if she feels similar to them.

Conversely, less power. For example, to use an ability equal to the absolute value of 1 is to exercise only 1% of one’s ability.

Of course, it is not easy to fine-tune that much, and for that reason, he often uses more power than necessary, so he is no different from other talented people in terms of exhaustion of his physical strength.

In short, she’s weak against Earth compared to her abilities… That’s one of her few weaknesses, considered a perfect superhuman.

How dare you teach me such weaknesses. This guy, how much do you trust me?

“What more do you want me to do?”

“Ah, I wish I had eaten this much. I have to take care of my body…”

– Knuckle.

“…one more bowl?”

“Ugh, then it is.”

Yes, eat a lot.

There are so many things to do in the future, how sad would it be if I couldn’t even eat?

***

“Vaah! Hello little friends! Do you know who your sister is?”

“It’s a magical girl~!”

“Wow, Sanspyrus!”

“Ahahahaha, you’re wrong~ My sister’s name is Spiritas~”

Volunteering in the middle of a long schedule.

Although it doesn’t make money, philanthropy to help people in need helps build an image.

Whether it’s delivering supplies to the poor or performing for children who have lost their parents… … .

It is said that there is a good reason why a big star, about the size of Spiritas, set foot in a small orphanage on the edge of District G.

“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star~♬”

Although the space is small, through the efforts of the cameras and the staff installed around it, this situation will become a story and spread throughout Pangea.

“Fufu, this is a good scene being filmed.”

“I’m really glad that Spiritas likes children.”

Of course, even if you understand that with your head, there are often people who are not good in character.

In fact, the station staff felt relieved as they watched Kana hanging out with the children.

As if there are heroes who turn their backs on this kind of volunteer work…

“Little Star~ Sister~! Shake my hand!!”

“Okay, come on. Hands here!”

But to hang out with children like that is something that can only be done if you truly love children.

“Sister! Did you really come down from heaven?”

“Then, I came here to drive out the bad villains from this land from the Magical Star~”

“A magical star? Then you can use magic too!?”

“Well, I can write, but… … . Sorry. Coincidentally, my sister’s magic can only be used against evil villains, so I can’t show it here.”

“Then I will be the villain!”

“I can’t use it when you say such bad things~”

Kana gently strokes the child’s head with the blade of her hand.

When I hit it without the superhuman force, there was only a popping sound, but if that was the villain, it might have been split in half with a cry of ‘Gal!!!!’ and died.

Well, being able to do that with just the blade of a hand is almost magical.

“The magic is too much and I’ll play light games. Now, look here!”

Afterwards, Kana beckons me to bring the prepared items.

I immediately put the heavy box I was holding in my arms in front of her.

thud. The heaviness of the sound… … . Inside it was a hollow pipe.

“Vaah~ This is a special balloon prepared just for you~”

No, it was an iron pipe.

Kana insists that it is a balloon, but even at this moment when I put the box, the tingling sensation I felt in both arms was teaching me that it was an iron pipe.

“Whoops!”

And when Kana blows on the iron pipe with her mouth, the surface gradually swells and begins to increase in volume.

what the f*ck

what the hell is that

“Come on, if you tie it up like this… … . Voila~ A cute puppy is finished~”

Kana twists an inflated iron pipe like a balloon craft, ignoring the embarrassment of the station staff who seem to say that.

It was a sight that I, too, saw in shock at first, but now I am accepting that it is so.

Isn’t magic any good?

That’s magic.

“Wow~ It’s a puppy! It’s a puppy!!”

“sister! Please make me a bear!”

“I am a dinosaur!”

“Okay, okay, okay.”

Above all else, aren’t the children enjoying themselves?

Although it does not float in the air like a real balloon, and it is difficult to lift it with the power of children… it looks fun nonetheless.

“Uncle! This way!!”

As I was looking at the scene with delighted eyes, Kana began to look at me with her arms folded around the children around me.

The way he smiles and holds his pose is as if he wants to take a picture.

Haha, filming at a broadcasting station and filming personally are different.

“Okay, everyone, take a look here. I’ll take a picture!”

I didn’t really hate taking pictures of such a scene.

No, rather the opposite.

Even though it’s called a camouflage, if you only show a scene like this, you can genuinely match it.

However, on the other hand, the situation now felt sad.

If, at least one.

If all the heroes could be sincere in a situation like her…

– Kwaang!

With such disappointment, an explosion sounded the moment the shutter was pressed.

Everyone was startled for a moment, the atmosphere stiffened, and they began to turn their heads to the place where the sound was heard.

“What? Where did you ring it?”

“Weren’t the firecrackers used in the next schedule?”

No, it’s not like fireworks. Unlike them, I, who had already grasped the situation, stared at the screen captured by the camera in my hand.

The corner of the photo. Black smoke visible into the sky beyond the orphanage.

It was to teach us that there was a terrorist attack on the frontier where we were.

****

Pangea is a continent that is divided into 26 districts and ruled under a unified government.

However, the size reaches nearly half of the combined continents that existed before the cataclysm, and the larger the group, the more difficult it is to control.

There are places where management is thorough, such as City A, where the wealthy and the powerful usually gather, and there are also places where management is neglected because their interests have not reached them.

Such an effect is more pronounced in the ‘frontier area’, where the government’s eyes do not reach.

Of course, in this case, there are few cases of being targeted by villains because of their lack of wealth or influence, but conversely, in the case of villains whose goals are not… … .

For example, it is bound to become a good prey for hedonists whose goal is pure pleasure itself.

– Kwaga River!

Yes, a villain running rampant on the frontier of this District I. Doomsday was such a person.

“Ah ha ha ha ha!! There are plenty of good firewoods to burn!!”

A man hanging a mechanical device made of scrap metal.

Whenever the body and the muzzle connected to it spewed fire, fireballs soared all over the city, and people began to run away from the pillars of fire.

But even more dangerous than the explosion is the collapse of the surrounding area in the aftermath.

The impacted vehicle exploded and even the surrounding buildings lost their balance and collapsed, and the entire city was transformed into a chaos in an instant.

“Yeah, explode, explode more!! Everything you see will explode!”

“It must be your head that explodes!”

– Hakhahahahak!

An afterimage of pink light flying from far away with a shout.

That’s when the building on the other side collides and thumps! Immediately after the sound, strange expectations began to appear in the eyes of the terrorist under the goggles.
