I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.91 EP4. Birth of a King (1)

‘By the way, I… I haven’t heard your real name yet.’

If you had time for yourself.

He would have been able to use that time to recover the memories he had forgotten.

‘Bread, where are you now?’

If only I had been a little stronger.

If I had been able to live without being bound by the past, I would have listened to his story a little more.

‘It’s a vulgar story, but… if I could talk to you again, even if it was just one thing, I wanted to apologize to you with all my heart’

But those complaints will eventually disappear in silence.

Facing such a reality, she quickly closed her eyes, clutching my chest.

and…..

– Awkward.

At that moment, the sound of glass breaking.

The two eyes that were reflexively opened were removed from the hand that was about to press the button and turned to the side.

A crack that begins to unnaturally apply to the air.

The phenomenon, like gold being applied to transparent glass, was something that Seolhwaran was familiar with.

Tesseract Vision. A dimensional rift that occurs through the dimension control used by Shadow.

– Koo!

The sledgehammer, who slipped through the gap, mercilessly smashed the maniac’s grip holding his breath.

“Ahhhh my arms

A hammer with a total mass alone of 10 kg.

It was impossible for an old and weak arm to withstand the swing.

Without exaggeration, the shoulder was dislocated by the impact, and the bones were twisted in reverse and stained with blood bruises.

“Don’t whine. Originally, what I was aiming for was a head.”

With a voice that seemed to follow him, Seol Hwa-ran’s gaze eventually turned to the man who was walking through the cracks.

A well-dressed suit and tie. Even a paper bag peeking out over it.

– Koo!

Eventually, when the hammer in his hand fell to the ground and a roar resounded, Seol Hwa-ran, who was looking at the scene, began to catch her breath.

“why…..”

Is it the main lamp before death?

No, it is the person who tried to kill himself who is struggling right now lying on the floor.

It was clearly the person he was thinking of who was swinging the hammer at him.

“Why, why are you here?”

“promise.”

Grabbing your head is just a side effect of dimensional leap.

He said to himself in such a state.

“I came to keep the promise I made a while ago.”

just one word.

But, as if he thought he could understand the words with many implications.

“Promise, I mean… … .”

What are you talking about?

I only met him a few months ago. The only proper conversations I had with him were old stories exchanged on the ship.

I don’t know if it’s a complete goodbye, though I never shared what I would call a promise.

‘No, that’s not the time.’

promise.

A moment in her life she will never forget.

It was thought that the memory had been erased by a transcendent being, but it was also gradually revived as the power became unstable and the source of the memory was nearby.

‘Yeah, everyone has been walking down different paths, but in the end we’ve all gathered here. So that’s how we met… … .Let’s make one promise.’

Still, everyone had hope.

Still, there was a time when we thought that the feelings we had for each other were sincere and transparent.

‘After the operation starts, maybe someone here will die.’

Yet at least… … .

It was a time when we encouraged each other by clearly demonstrating that we would not feel any regrets on the path we wanted to move forward.

‘On the contrary, someone will survive. So… … .Let the surviving people here fulfill each other’s goals we’ve talked about now.’

Whether it be revenge, representative or revolution.

If we are faithful to the ideology of the organization, we will do our best to achieve the ideal regardless of the type of organization.

‘Isn’t it enough that we can entrust our lives to each other?’

“Hey, you idiot… … .”

But it was he who gave up such promises and ideologies for revenge.

Why did he set foot here to save such a traitor?

“Only for that… … .”

Tears that did not flow even with the pain of tearing apart the whole body, burning hot tears and pouring down with blood.

I had no choice but to do so.

Because he had something to protect, and a calling to carry on.

Such a mindset was so dazzling that she even yearned for it, and the reality that she had to betray such a heart was the only guilt she had.

“Why did you come here?

It’s your mission to protect that person…! Anyone who has already abandoned the organization can leave it alone

While there! Why did someone who can’t even take care of me come all the way here!!”

I can’t let go of regrets about the past.

Why was he even willing to sacrifice everything before entering this place?

“Unlike me, you could choose, so why? For something like me…”

-thud!!

A man who responds by hitting the floor with a hammer in such an outrage.

“I have a lot of things I want to say, but I will keep my mouth shut.”

He also had a lot to say, but, unfortunately, they didn’t have much time to spare.

“Vanguard!! Kill that guy!! Kill him now!!”

Yeah, it’s not the ugly old man running away with a broken arm that needs to be dealt with now.

The guy who comes after him.

– Kwaang!

Immediately after, a fist pierced the wall with a shout and slammed his body.

Eventually, the captured body was thrown out of the exit and fell into the hallway, while a man in a white mask began to follow him.

“… … Gingerbread.”

It must have been the man’s name that came out of his mouth.

“Hey, why are you here… … .”

“… They said it was coming in a hurry, but it’s a bit difficult to recognize it right away.”

“Why are you here to protect that person!!”

Ignoring the complaints, Vanguard screams bitterly.

Faced with that cry, he pressed the envelope with my face on it even more.

“I don’t know why I misunderstood and left without a word, but I have no obligation to answer.”

The answer to return is that.

After that, he raised his broken body and moved towards him, grabbing the sledgehammer in both hands.

“Come on.”

In deeds, not in a thousand words.

Just as it teaches you that you are a villain who chooses to oppose justice.

***

and at the same time.

-… … You’ve arrived.

In the middle of the ruins once famous as a school district.

The shadow alone in the moonlit square stared quietly at the sight of the cracks in front of me gradually receding.

The cracks in the space opened by one’s own abilities.

The person who entered the so-called Dimensional Rift was the person he had talked to before.

‘There is a fairy tale under this.’

Believe in yourself and come here together.

He is one of the few people who can call himself a friend.

‘Under this… … . Really?’

‘You can trust the words of a trusted source. Of course, it took her a while to get here, so I can’t guarantee that she’s safe right now.’

Underneath this was only a name, but it was strictly a person to be called an executive of the association.

Even if you do something dishonest, you will be able to get help from outside, even at least.

Among them, there will be heroes who will be the test subjects for their research, and they will also hope that my mistakes will not be revealed as much as they have committed injustice.

Such a heart will soon lead to ardent loyalty towards the person who performed the operation.

‘Even if there are few

There must be a strong opponent down here. Perhaps, as an unofficial strength, you should also consider getting to the S-class, but… Coincidentally, I

All I can do for you right now is open up a passageway to it. I too have to meet here.

Because.’

‘Who should I greet? Is there another enemy?’

‘Yes, he was the one who followed them before us.’

They are not the only ones aiming here.

And, of course, from their point of view, they would be called enemies.

As long as she loses her organization and Anatomy comes out uncooperatively, the only one who can stop her will be herself.

‘… … Are you a hero?’

‘Hero, it was.’

And her strength is best known by Shadow.

I’ve lived far away from the world, but in the past, there were some people who would call it a bad relationship.

Dealing with such a bad relationship is something he, too, must be sincere. To that extent, the only thing that can actually stop what is happening below me is that the person in front of me is the only one.

A poor man whose only talent is surviving, who has never achieved anything properly.

‘Still, I think you can do it.’

But Shadow trusted such a man.

If that’s the case, then whatever’s down here will definitely be fine.

If he didn’t even have that kind of faith, he wouldn’t have brought him here in the first place.

‘why… … .’

Conversely, he did not understand Shadow’s trust.

‘Why are you helping me?’

It is natural.

Objectively, he is just a pawn with high ideals.

It would be strange for anyone to do such a favor for a person equal to an executive.

‘Mr Brad. Are you a villain?’

But it’s a good thing to see people like that.

Even if it is difficult for others to understand, wouldn’t that be enough if you seriously consider the reason?

‘yes. The villain.’

‘I’m a villain too. It is a reality that does not change even if the organization collapses.’

‘…….“

‘… I think that’s enough for a reason.’

The conversation ends with it.

Shadow, who remembered him advancing through the passageway, quietly shifted his gaze to behind him.

In the middle of a school district that has been neglected for more than 10 years.

In a place where only the midnight moonlight shines, I could feel someone’s popularity slowly approaching.

“… … Shadow.”

Eventually, it was a woman who set foot in the square.

The stylish office suit and sunglasses indirectly taught her that she was a person of high social standing.

-Long time no see, Seras. How have you been?

When facing such a woman, what the Shadow expressed was a favor.

For him, who has been hiding his existence enough to have the nickname of “Rookie Ghost”, the people in front of me are the few who know who he really is.

– The atmosphere has changed a lot since you haven’t seen it. In the past, it was a very desperate and bloody atmosphere.

Yes, Shadow knew her.

Seras Essenberg.

A former S-class hero and a person who borrowed such recognition to become an executive of the current Hero Association.

And in the war three years ago, Shadow failed to assassinate… … . One of the heroes with the reputation and strength enough to succeed in Justice and Heavenly Demon.

“Shadow…why are you here?”

Conversely, what Seras felt when he saw him was neither the joy nor the hostility he felt toward the villain as the head of the association.

It was as if he never thought he would be here.

-… … You know who I am, so I don’t have to hide it.

The upper body of the young boy, who did not take her reaction seriously, began to sink in the shadow beneath him.

No, it’s not like a shadow in the first place.

Essentially, a black hole that is created by distorting space to the extent that if you hit it, your body absorbs even light.

Since he himself could not unconsciously control his own power, the aftermath of the inherent power was only created by influencing the outside.

Conversely, if you want to reveal your true self, you must intentionally suppress that power.

– Juggle.

A body that rises from the darkness that lay on the ground just by showing your sincerity gradually.

Covered with rough hair and pale skin, it was a woman with a body so thin that the leather stuck to her bones.

“… I’m sorry for showing you such an ugly face.”

Alive, but not alive…

Before such a body was fully revealed, the space around her was distorted, and it began to cover her surroundings in a fabric-like form.

It’s like putting a dress on a corpse.

“I still want you to understand. It means that I take this situation seriously.”

Drawing on the face of a person reminiscent of such a death would certainly be called a favor.

For an assassin whose job is to kill people.

A feeling that can be thrown away so lightly.
