I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.7 EP1. Hero Land (1)

“A problem suddenly occurred, and investigations overlapped, so I left my daughter with her until this late hour. that… … . Were you very surprised?”

“Oh, no. it’s okay. Rather, it would be a difficult situation if we didn’t come forward.”

Yes, heroes are usually like this.

Not to the point of being called a top secret, but they are the beings who get everyone’s attention as the protagonists of the times.

If you don’t create a sense of difference between your original appearance and what you looked like when you were a hero, people around you would definitely come and cause a commotion.

“By the way, it’s amazing. I don’t think Mr. James was a Ronin Blade.”

“I am only sorry for showing a bloody appearance during the meal.”

“no. Was it rather cool? Everyone liked it… … . Thanks to you, I think it’s fortunate that things didn’t get bigger.”

“… Thank you for saying that.”

He smiles vaguely and puts his hand on the bridge of his nose.

He seemed to habitually put his glasses on, but he had taken them off before going out to the rescue.

“Oh, Dad.”

It was Nella Hart, who was by my side, who brought the glasses to James.

Soon after, Nella, who had left my side, approached James and carefully gave out the glasses she had been holding in her arms.

“Thank you, daughter.”

Was such a daughter proud?

As she stroked her hair with a gentle smile, Nella’s body, which had been nervous before, began to shake.

Yes, no matter how cruel a villain is, my bloodline is precious.

“While you were away, Nella was very worried.”

“Yes, I guess it is time for me to step down from the front line. A lot of people cheered me on, but I’m old, and I have something to protect personally, unlike when I was younger…”

I could tell by just looking at the tender expression on her face as she hugged her daughter, but I could feel that even that expression was soon distorted by bitterness.

“It’s just a pity that it doesn’t happen now.”

“… … Dad?”

“I’m sorry, Nella.”

A sudden apology.

Nella hesitated at that, then bowed her head with a sad expression on her face.

As if he understood what my father was trying to say.

Rather than being clever, he seemed to be closer to being educated as this happened frequently.

“Mr. Brad.”

It took me a while to see it and feel a bit complicated.

As if to organize something, James called me and asked a question carefully.

“Could you spare some time tomorrow?”

“yes? Tomorrow?”

“Actually, I was in a situation where I would have to continue my vacation until tomorrow, but I have some work to do because of the previous escape incident.”

Oh, that’s right.

Obviously, it is difficult to escape alone, so there must have been a collaborator.

So, he was in charge of the investigation and handling of this case.

“Among what you said before, the job is not consistent… … . Alas, there is no meaning to belittle. I was just asking because I wondered if there was any freedom to adjust the schedule.”

“Yes, it is possible, but… … .”

Anyway, it’s just a labour, I put in as soon as I have the manpower, so there was no problem at all if I was missing one.

But if you ask me, there’s only one reason. It must mean that this person has a request to entrust to me.

“I’ll pay you, so if it’s okay with you, can you take care of my daughter tomorrow?”

“… … yes?”

“Actually, I was supposed to go to the amusement park with Nella tomorrow, but that’s how things turned out, and I had no choice but to put off the promise I was hoping for.”

James stroking my daughter’s hair with a sad face.

It wouldn’t be strange to whine, but Nella simply bowed her head and silently accepted her father’s stroke.

“Of course, you can leave it to someone else, but I was wondering if it would be better to hang out with a new friend this time to create memories.”

In short, I need a nanny to take care of my daughter and a guardian to take me to the amusement park on behalf of my absentee.

It is understandable from the heart of a father who cannot give up his official duties. Even if it’s the first time you see someone, there’s a reason that they’re ‘friends’… … .

… huh? for a moment.

Friend, who are you talking about?

“Great.”

While feeling suspicious, the boss, who was watching silently, coughed in vain.

He looked up and clapped his hand.

Her eyes were brighter than usual.

After thinking about it, I will make a decision, exchanged contact information and then parted.

Back at home, I had time to consult with the boss about what to do with the previous proposal.

“Bread. Think carefully.”

“Yes? What…”

“Now we

Since the collapse of the organization, he has been hiding from human society, avoiding the eyes of the Hero Association. The identity disguised for him is his father and daughter.

acting… … . Is there any part of this that I have misunderstood?”

“…no.”

It’s a perfect summary with nothing to add.

“Then let me ask you one more question. Brad, you are that James Hart… … . Are you feeling wary of a hero called Ronin Blade?”

“A vigilant mind, right?”

I shrugged my chin for a moment and thought about what the boss said.

Do you feel wary when you see a man showing off a villain’s neck on the street?

Coincidentally, it didn’t feel like that at all.

Even so, he didn’t doubt our identities at all right now.

Rather, the father, who spends the weekend with his daughter, has a preconceived notion that it is harmless. That is why he showed trust enough to entrust his daughter to someone he did not know.

“Of course, there are a lot of unsettling factors just from acting like that, so we should consider putting a wedge in the trust we have now. Isn’t the most certain thing about building relationships with people from opposing forces?”

Clearly, the trust of an adversary is a way to make even the slightest suspicion a defense.

So, if you want to continue this life, you can rather view this situation as an opportunity… … . There was no disagreement with that opinion itself.

“But wouldn’t there be a risk of being discovered by having a kite?”

The problem is that it is a high risk high return.

It was not a method I wanted to recommend, as one mistake can lead to immediate death. Sure it will, but… … .

“From that point of view, wouldn’t it be more dangerous to raise children in a situation where there is no regular income?”

ugh

In fact, you come in through a painful spot.

As I shrugged off the unusually sharp horse, the boss burst out laughing and started clasping his arms.

“Yes, the current situation is objectively an opportunity to win both trust and money in a situation that is lacking. Of course, the final decision is yours, so I can’t force it… … .”

The boss who spoke up to that point, clouded his tail as if he was looking into my eyes.

It’s certainly a proposition worth accepting as it’s worth taking a little risk, but the boss’s opinion nevertheless felt a bit absurd.

So far, the boss has always tended to respect my opinion, but this time, doesn’t it look like he’s trying to convince me?

“boss.”

I asked her just in case.

“If you happen to want to go to an amusement park, that’s… … . Isn’t it?”

“Fufu.”

The boss just laughed.

Without knowing that my stomach is burning.

Ouroboros.

It was an organization of villains, including myself, who were dissatisfied with society.

Whether it’s resentment against the leadership, hatred of the world, just delight in destruction, or dreaming of a revolution… … .

The purpose of each is different, but as a result, the place where people who wished for the ‘collapse of the present age’ gathered is the organization called Ouroboros to which I belonged.

‘Boss, why do you want to destroy mankind?’

And she wanted to achieve the ideal desired by everyone in the organization.

Although she failed in the end, perhaps no one who followed her doubted her sincerity. Her loyalty to her must have continued until the moment of her decisive battle.

But, is what the universe god really wants to just destroy society and cause a revolution?

‘I do not know.’

She answered the question firmly.

‘yes?’

‘He said he didn’t know. I was just endlessly repeating the revelations that someone gave me until I landed on this earth. The order to destroy everything that exists in the land I have arrived at by a being called humanity.’

Even she, a transcendent, could not be called an Absolute if she left this planet.

They are merely beings higher than humans, and cannot be said to be omnipotent.

Therefore, she said that the mission given to her was absolute, but since the concept was abstract, the action plan had not been decided.

‘I was in the organization

In the past, I just lived up to the expectations of my followers, but in the end it was just a result of conforming to the flow. the time I spent with them

No one can be sure that this is the correct answer to the mission given.’

‘So, the boss… you mean he doesn’t know exactly what to do yet?’

‘Yeah, so I’ll have to figure it out from now on.’

It’s called Ouroboros.

Even the purpose of the great evil, which all the heroes of Pangea put all their efforts into stopping, could not give a correct answer to a transcendent like her.

Such a fact came to me as too much of a burden.

‘Brad, I hope that you will know the boundaries through life with you.’

Can I find an answer that I couldn’t find even when I was in the organization?

I couldn’t even say it was impossible.

I also needed her strength to achieve what I wanted, so I was going to do everything I could.

So no matter what decision she makes, I will never overturn it.

Even if it’s too pure to be called evil.

Even if it gets weaker to the point where it gets weaker, even if it’s still in the ‘stage of getting to know humanity’.

With a firm belief that the moment she finds the answer to her mission someday, it will lead to the calling she wants.

“welcome! We sincerely welcome you to Hero Land, which is full of hopes and dreams of the times!!”

… … okay.

Coming to this abominable place would be necessary for that.
