I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.5 EP1. Ronin Blade(1)

hero.

They are the most hated beings to me.

It was my calling and everything to get rid of that existence in this world, and for that purpose, I can even say with confidence that I can even sacrifice my dignity and existence.

One of those heinous heroes is in front of me.

The only evidence is the boss’s words, but it’s certain.

Because the boss’s insight is incomparable to that of me, the culprit.

“My name is James Hart. I didn’t know what to do because there was no seat, but thank you so much for allowing me to sit with you.”

“You’re welcome. We have to help each other out.”

of course.

Being such a hateful being, I do not show my sword recklessly to them.

A mask that hides my true self is the greatest weapon against the enemy.

For me, who has been infiltrating for three years as a member of society, this situation, although a crisis, could not be said to be an insurmountable challenge.

“You seem to have come with a daughter like me, but it would be better to help each other in a similar situation.”

“Haha, you met someone too good to be a coincidence.”

A hero talking while raising his glasses.

No, I said James Hart now. Coincidentally, it was a name he had never heard of.

Well, of course.

Heroes usually only use the hero name. Because there are many cases where the face is hidden with suits and masks, it is often difficult to identify the identity just by hearing the name.

Of course, there are many people who like to show their heroes, but the reason why they often hide their identity is simple.

“Come on, Nella. You should be grateful.”

Family, lovers, friends, neighbors, etc… … .

When their existence is known, the tribe of villains often takes people around them hostage to take advantage of their weaknesses.

“Oh, thank you, uncle.”

Yeah, if I were a normal villain, I’d be in a really dangerous situation.

But, coincidentally, this one is from Ouroboros.

When he was still alive, he was a powerful force that he could not even dream of fighting for supremacy by other villains, and he did not reach out to civilians in vain as he had enough time as a strong man.

Yes, they always deal with the target and those who stand directly in front of it.

Even though I was just a pawn, I had no intention of reaching out to such a frivolous thing as I belonged to that organization.

“The boy has a good greeting.”

“No, I’m worried that I’m not active because I’m shy.”

“Ah, that’s bold enough.”

Yes, this child will never stand on the battlefield.

So, it’s not the girl who should be concerned now, but his father.

That’s what the boss thinks, not just me… … .

“…hmm.”

No, I can’t read the boss’s thoughts, I’m just a pawn.

Unlike me, who was nervous and acted, the boss had an empty fork in his mouth and had a fat expression on his face.

The boss, who had been generous all the time, was feeling dissatisfied with something.

“Why, why do you do that, boss?”

When I asked in a small voice if I could hear her, she said,

“After all, I thought that a real child can’t win.”

“… … Yes?”

can’t really win

What do you mean?

“The food you ordered has arrived!”

However, no matter how long we waited, the question was not resolved, and the food we ordered came out, and it was time to eat.

“Come on, Nella. Daddy will cut it for you.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I can do it myself.”

Embarrassed by his father’s consideration, he holds a knife and fork.

Even though it might be difficult to sharpen a knife, he was doing it quite skillfully.

Did you receive any etiquette training in advance?

Of course, since you have already learned how to use the boss, you should be able to eat it by yourself.

“My father.”

That’s what I thought, but why is the boss offering me a fork with food stamped on it?

“Oh~”

“…….”

“Ah~”

“I, there… … . town!”

As soon as you open your mouth, the fork comes in.

When I could feel the taste of the pork cutlet in my mouth, she looked up at me and started to smile.

A smile that is very sharp enough to be dimpled.

“… … there.”

“If you have received something, you must also give something.”

A boss who cuts off his words quickly, worrying that the title that was unconsciously spit out would be heard by the other side.

Afterwards, she looked up at me and opened her mouth to say.

“Oh~”

“…….”

“Ah~”

over there, boss.

No matter how much acting, this is way too much.

“Haha, you have a good relationship with your daughter.”

Reluctantly feeding him the food, James, who was watching the scene from the other side, began to laugh.

get along well… … .

It must be rare for a woman to exchange food with each other.

“It seems to me that Mr. James cares about his daughter.”

“I try to do my best while we are together as we don’t have much time to be together due to busy work. But by any chance, Mrs. … .”

“Well, there was an accident… … .”

During the chatter during the meal, sympathy began to grow on James’ face.

James changes the topic without asking for further details. It was a moment when I was reminded again that having a story is helpful for the stomach.

“Actually, I am raising my daughter on my own. I’m very busy with many things, so it’s hard to find time after work on weekdays.”

“It’s the same with me. Since I don’t have a specific job, my work hours are not consistent, so it’s heartbreaking to see my daughter sleeping alone late at night.”

Once I started lying, it went on smoothly as if I was lubricating it.

Well, isn’t it all lies to be stabbed in the conscience?

take care of the boss… … . No, there was nothing wrong with trying to help out, and there was nothing to stifle in speaking.

“He, there… … .”

As he was leading such a risky and flexible conversation, he noticed James’s daughter, Nella, hesitating as she watched the boss sitting across from her.

Watching the boss presenting the fork in my hand to him.

“Why don’t we exchange each other’s food for once?”

… … oh

That’s not the tone of a 7-year-old kid. What if I just win a prize?

“yes… … .”

While staring anxiously, Nella nodded and took a bite of the food the boss had given her.

The boss who looked at him with serious eyes.

“Do you like it?”

Nella nodded her head silently at the next words, and the boss, who saw it, smiled and clasped her chin.

“It’s good to see you eating. If you want to eat more, you can tell me.”

“… Hey, would you like to try mine too?”

“Hey, are you offering a tribute? Yes, please accept it with my grateful heart.”

talk, talk.

He was nervous about the situation beyond his control, but fortunately, James didn’t show any suspicion.

“That night

All children are like that. There are a lot of people who are obsessed with their favorite cartoons and movies… … . Rather, Nella only reads books, so she can’t get along with her peers.

I was worried, but looking at it now makes me feel a little reassured.”

“Ah, hahahaha. Thank you for taking a good look.”

Do you accept that this is also personal?

For a moment, I thought, “It’s fortunate that there are so many unique heroes that children admire.”

– Coogong!

A sudden roar resounds amidst the feeling of doubt.

At the sound of the ground that was felt along with him, the table, which had not yet finished eating, felt strangely trembling.

Is it an earthquake?

No, there is no precedent for that, and it is quite irregular.

Explosives, or by a capable person.

– Weighing.

Just as I sensed it, I heard a strange vibration from the arms of James who was sitting on the other side.

Immediately after, with a serious expression on his face, he held an object that was too thick for a smartphone.

“The capable person escaped from the accommodation vehicle…”

It is a communication device given by the Hero Association, and is mainly used to send signals to heroes at the crime scene.

“Dad… … .”

“It’s okay, Nella. It will be over soon.”

James takes off his glasses while stroking his worried daughter’s hair.

After that, he looked at me for a moment and made a earnest request with a serious voice.

“Can I ask you for a moment, my daughter?”

“Did something serious happen to you?”

“You will hear an evacuation order soon, but you can rest assured.”

Details were not explained.

He seems to think he’ll know what’s going to happen soon.

“Because I am here.”

Having said that, James reached out for the window next to me.

As soon as a vibration rang out from his hand, something from his fingertips pierced a hole in the window.

There was not even the sound of glass breaking.

A glass window that was cut smoothly without any shards around it.

– Whirlik!

Things shot from the James family’s coat, which escaped through the gap, turned into flashes of light, and at the same time, his body began to fly around the city like a parabola.

A body that flies away as if being pulled by something invisible.

When the attention of the people around him was focused on him, the boss who was eating next to him said while taking the food he had cut into pieces with a fork.

“There was something good to see during the meal.”

The moment when none other than the boss said ‘a must-see’.

It was the sound of the opponent not being any kind of dwarf.

***

An era full of villains.

As much as that, prisons are newly established in each district every year, and the vehicles that accommodate them are exploding every day, and there are endless days of traveling on the road.

And very rarely, there are those who escape the receiving vehicle and hit the civilian area.

“Chief! Headquarters has contacted you! The guy’s escape route is the Times Square stop in District D! We must quickly establish the defenses and issue an evacuation order!”

“Calm down and set up your defenses! Just because there is only one escapee, we must not be vigilant!!”

A police organization responsible for the security of Pangea.

While the defense line they built was firmly established in the middle of District D, the surrounding citizens began to take pictures of where they were gathered from afar.

It’s like taking what’s going to happen here as a spectacle.

“What are you doing!? Evacuate citizens immediately!”

“It’s not listening. I tried to suppress it, but there were not enough people… … .”

“It’s f*cking citizenship!”

The loud shouts of the class leader leading the defense line.

As such, the current situation is frequent, and from the perspective of the police, it is unwelcome.

“It’s all because of the Hero Association! Do you know what a joke protecting the city is!? If you do a show with those heroes, you know that the scene is also a show!!”

“Chief, please calm down… … .”

“Chief! Coming soon!”

A police officer who is deterred and a police officer who is observing the situation yells.

The class leader, who lost his anger at him, took a seat on the defensive line again and instructed the police officers under his command to raise their guns and shields.

– Kudangtang!!

Is the huge shadow that appeared from the alley in the distance a villain?

No, it was a vehicle.

A scene where a car parked on the road is thrown away by the power of the villain.

“… That, eh.”

After that, a man with his whole body wrapped in restraints and bandages appeared.

However, the restraints are torn everywhere. The blood all over the bandages wrapped around him is probably not the only one.
