chapter 35
EP.35 EP2. later talk
The heroine contest is an event that attracts a lot of interest from the residents of Pangea.
Therefore, the tragedy that took place there, the truth of it, and the chaos that arose from it could never be easily put to rest.
Many of the top celebrities in the entertainment industry have died, many of the heroes who participated in the venue turned to villains, and the one who led them was none other than a charismatic big star.
[Breaking News: A rare big star, the Pam Fatal Familiar, has secured evidence that he has communicated with a new villain organization – Pandemonia.]
But well.
No matter how big a star he is, after all, isn’t he just an individual compared to the whole continent?
[A number of narcotic drugs were found in her home. In addition, the transaction situation with Shamji was also identified… … .]
[The doctor in charge of the examination is suspected of manipulating the chart. A hidden chart reveals that he has been using banned substances for at least 10 years and has shared it with the entertainment industry… … ‥.]
In the first place, like a tower, an idol is difficult to build, but easy to destroy.
In other words, it is an optimal existence to shift responsibility and bury when something happened, and it was none other than the current Pangea government that understood such a situation well.
[The worst villain who disappeared three years ago, Seol Hwa-ran, has appeared again.]
[New Villain Alliance – What kind of organization is Pandemonia?]
Yes, it is probably the reason why Sulwharan’s existence is revealed more extensively.
The moment when the villain, who had a fight with none other than the devil, appeared again in Yangji.
Naturally, people who do not know the truth will think of her as the dark side of the situation, and the concentrated interest in her will soon forget the shock of this incident.
Of course, in reality, Sul Hwa-ran also viewed the drug negatively, so it seemed to infiltrate the contest… Well, is such a truth important to the public?
Whatever the truth, she is a villain after all, and under the definition of evil, it is not strange to receive any treatment.
“Mr Brad. Are you ready for discharge?”
“Yeah, I’ll just change my clothes and go out.”
So it would be unreasonable to know the truth of the truth only through the Internet.
You should find out more about this after you leave the hospital.
Having stated that, I put down the smartphone in my hand and threw off the patient uniform I was wearing to prepare to leave the hospital.
“mister! I came to visit… … .”
At that moment, the door rattled open, and someone rushed into the hospital room.
My body hardened without realizing it. It was the same for an uninvited guest who had just entered the room.
She was wrapped up in a hat, mask, and sunglasses, but I knew immediately who she was.
Suzuki Kana.
She looked down at my frozen body and said, looking down.
“Five.”
“What is coming, boy?”
I threw a chop straight on the top of the pervert who came suddenly.
It was still my hand that was smashed.
***
“Is your body okay?”
“There are aftereffects, but they are not dangerous.”
After completing the discharge procedures and entering the park, I raised my left hand in response to Kana, who was sitting next to me on the bench.
He has recovered enough to be able to perform daily activities, but his left finger still does not move properly.
If you leave it alone, it will also recover itself, but it was not something to be welcomed by the aftereffects that remain even after a fortnight has passed.
Well, considering the abilities that Sulwha has, this must be a lucky level.
Without a word, even a small amount of her power is exposed, unless one part of her body is cut out, her life is in danger.
“You idiot.”
Did it feel bad to jump into such an absurdly talented person?
Kana kicked the dirt with her feet hanging down under the bench, let out a blunt voice and started shooting at me.
“Why again?”
“I said I was stupid because I was stupid. Throw yourself away to save me… … . If he hadn’t acted on his whims, he would most likely be dead.”
Is it because of the delay in arguing that there is a sharp edge in his toxic voice?
Come to think of it, from that day on, she also went to various hospitals to recover from her injuries.
No matter how much he was protected by superhuman strength, he recovered only after all kinds of healing powers had managed to stick together.
It must have been enough to realize just how dangerous the power of Sulwharan is.
“… … Do you know how worried I was when I was locked up on the ice wall?”
As such, it is only natural for me to be considered reckless when I jumped in with only one confidence in my regenerative power.
Of course, I am not without such awareness, but would I have jumped into it because I liked it?
“You don’t have to feel guilty. I didn’t jump in just to save you.”
The foundations of hope that will only lead this era are being laid.
In such a field, wouldn’t it make me feel angry that he was trying to commit an organizational philosophy that even me, a pawn, could not forget?
However, I felt my interest in her deepened even more.
It would have never been done if she had been her before, but what the hell is that organization called Pandemonia…?
“Did you say you lost your wife in an accident?”
A careful voice was heard while pondering such an annoying insider.
“What if that accident happened… … .”
“…….”
“… … No, you don’t have to answer. To be honest, I don’t think there’s any reason for you to run away other than that.”
No, it’s completely wrong.
But that’s just because it’s not known that I’m with her. From an outsider’s point of view, it wouldn’t be strange at all to make such a misunderstanding.
Yeah, maybe it’d be better to misunderstand me that way to convince me of my actions.
Although he felt guilty for framed, he also decided to consider her work more than her karma and to disregard it.
“… mister.”
How long has it been since we sat next to each other like that?
After that, as if she had made up her mind to something, Kana suddenly stood up from the bench and faced me.
Eyes with dark sunglasses to hide their identity as a star.
But he could tell just by looking at his hardened lips. The words that follow now are never meant to be taken lightly.
“If you happen to be with me… … .”
It cuts off in the middle of the conversation.
After a considerable amount of silence, she continued to speak with a detached smile.
“Can you be my sidekick?”
side kick.
The role played by helpers who assist the hero, supporters, and others who help by protecting them in any way.
Even if anyone sees it, it’s close to the side where she was trying to say what she was trying to say for the first time, but for the first time, she decided to adjust the rhythm to her words.
“… … You know I’m an E-class, right?”
“Ah, even if it’s a side kick, I won’t let you do it too much. To the last, the sidekick is just a formality, and as before, you can act as a manager and support me.”
I just want you to be by my side as before.
Until this mind is cleared up and I can say what I want to say… … .
“Honestly, I am still a very immature person to be a hero. I thought it would be nice to have an adult by my side to lead me like that… … .”
As I watched her give her an unusually timid look like that, I unconsciously felt my breath stop.
What type of heart this guy has for me.
And because I have a vague sense of how much it weighs.
“I’m sorry, I too… … .”
So I felt sad that I had no choice but to reject it.
“Shh.”
In fact, before my refusal was even properly spit out, she put her finger on my lips and made her mouth shut.
and said with a smile.
“I don’t know about holding back, but I can’t forgive refusal. To take my first one and reject it so bluntly.”
“… … hey.”
“Why, did I say something wrong?”
He slept wrong and the expression was wrong.
A word is an earring if you put it on your ear, and a nose ring if you put it on your nose.
“Sulhwaran.”
But one thing was known.
What I’m saying right now is not like bluff or empty talk.
“When I’m strong enough to take him down, then I’ll say it right again.”
No further words were needed.
No matter what the reason I left at that time, how I feel now, and what the relationship between the two of us will be like in the future.
Let’s put it all off for a while until we achieve our goals. At least until this turmoil in my heart goes away.
“… … do whatever you want.”
“Yes, I’ll do whatever I want~ No matter what Uncle says, I’m the type of person who never misses a point once I get it.”
Yeah, I’m in trouble too, but if you give me a grace, it’ll be fine.
When I finished the story with such a rough hustle, Kana smiled and quietly turned her back on me.
so turn your back
“So… … . Next time, I will definitely come back.”
Kana says a promise, not goodbye, and then leaves the park and out of sight.
A snort came out of my mouth as I stared at the place where she had left.
“I’m glad I didn’t lose my energy.”
It is a common cliché handed down from the old generation for a hero to vow revenge on the evil that defeated him.
But it’s all about clumsy evils.
Ouroboros executives are unprecedented in the history of Pangea, and when the organization was still alive, didn’t even the S-class heroes despair of them?
Even so, I think her viciousness, which vows to fight for revenge, is really great. Moreover, because she assumed such a purpose directly of her own will, and not of her own will, as she had ever done.
The sad thing is that it’s not me, but… … . Well, that must be unavoidable. Right now, I don’t have enough room to reveal my identity like Seol Hwa-ran.
But, wasn’t it a journey that we started looking at for a long time in the first place?
Achieving the ideal will be a long way from now. So, let’s keep this feeling in our hearts for the time being.
“… Shall we go back soon?”
With that conclusion, I moved to the opposite side of where Kana had left.
Realizing that now is the time to return to his side again.
***
… … and.
“Come here, Brad.”
The boss’s voice is terrifying to enter the house.
From working as a manager to being admitted to the hospital. It was something she had always wanted to hear, but nevertheless, she could not express her pleasure to the boss.
Because he realized that his voice was heavier and more serious than ever.
“Nella is out for a while, so don’t worry.”
It didn’t take long to figure out why.
Because she recognized the existence of a woman sitting on the other side of the sofa where she was sitting.
“You are the person I met at the time.”
Yes, I was also a person who could not be overlooked.
Her hair was as white as snow, and her skin had turned white just like that. In the blue eyes beneath the cool eyes, there is a feeling of coldness that makes the blood of those who meet them freeze.
The Ice Empress Sulwhasoo… … .
No, now she has put all her masks and clothes aside.
I came here not as a villain, but as a human being.
“Yoonseol Lee, why are you here… … .”
Immediately after seeing her, she reflexively called out her real name.
“Also.”
As if realizing something from him, she sharpened my eyes and stood up from the sofa.
“If you remember my name, which no one will remember, it means that you too have been baptized by the boss.”
Yeah, she’s an executive too, so you’ve probably noticed it already.
Those who rise to the position of executives in the organization will get the right to use the ‘power to change fate’ possessed by the boss once.
And in general, I know where that power is used.
It is only when ‘one’s existence is erased’ from society.
“The only thing that remembered my real name was my family and the children who were like family….. and the classmates I was with when I just joined the organization.”
The woman who received such protection has narrowed the distance with me, who has received the same grace as herself.
“Gingerbread.”
So he looks straight at me and asks.
“What was your relationship with me in the past?”
About my identity that disappeared from her memory.
