93 – If you see this (1)
Minbom couldn’t concentrate on the meeting.
Stress builds up and pools.
He was reading malicious comments and articles pouring down on him under the round table.
An article asking about Jeong-gyeom’s identity.
Bent over by personal feelings, criticize the defeated Solas.
As if aiming for this moment, anti-fans appear like hyenas.
I can’t trust it at all.
Why does the Hero Association exist?
Without knowing what a life-and-death fight felt like, he cursed at himself.
It feels like all the sacrifices she’s made are meaningless.
It feels like the courage I’ve shown so far and the value of the lives I’ve saved are fading.
Forget the past and only evaluate the present.
I was angry at this absurdity…but also sad.
But that wasn’t the problem.
The fact that Jung-gyeom could not be reached was even more stressful.
he is worried
I wanted to find you quickly.
why don’t you contact me? Why can’t I get in touch?
However, according to the association’s regulations, they were still unable to leave the building.
Even Hera, a hero specializing in healing, was banned from going out in the name of recovery.
Worried about Jeong-gyeom.
Stress about bad comments.
All this builds up and builds up.
I also smoked more cigarettes than before.
The fortunate thing is that there are spare parts in the private room.
Still, I just have to hold out for one more day.
Control will be released tomorrow.
Minbom opened the text window and looked at the records.
Even the text messages sent to Song Soo-yeon had already exceeded 10.
But she never sent a single reply.
Mixed with my current feelings, I felt a great annoyance towards her.
‘A piece of trash.’
she thinks
Why is Jeong-gyeom helping her?
“…Solas. Put your phone away.”
The president of the Hero Association says.
“sorry.”
Minbom put the phone in without saying anything.
A moment of silence.
With a clearing of his throat, the meeting resumed.
the presenter says
“..Kuhm. So, to continue, trust in the association has fallen… but those who have broken that trust are not safe. You all must have heard it. That the Villain Alliance has collapsed.”
The documents sent out by the beam projector move on to the next slide.
“There were numerous eyewitnesses. The witnesses were all members of a criminal organization.”
“How can you trust the words of criminal gang members?”
“Everyone said the same thing… and turned themselves in while asking for personal protection. I can’t completely trust it, but it seems to have some credibility.”
“…”
“The eyewitness testimony was as follows. The fight lasted less than three minutes.”
Sheikh frowned. It was the same with Min Bom.
Those who had actually experienced coalitions and battles could not be trusted.
“Trino’s right eye is broken, Stingshot’s gun and right hand are broken, and Liquid’s left leg is broken.”
Minbom, who was unable to concentrate on the meeting, was also absorbed in the shocking news.
“This… ‘Mysterious Man’, I’ll call it ‘A’ for convenience, but it is said that he had multiple abilities.”
The slide goes over again.
“Ability to emit cold air from hands, telekinesis, heat vision, shadow movement. It was four things. The eyewitness testimony was consistent with these four abilities.”
“…..under.”
The Sheikh burst out laughing.
The rest couldn’t even breathe.
The presenter continued.
“It is said that the alliance of villains who were hit by A ran away, and one unknown villain was captured by him. Luna wasn’t there. That is all.”
Silence lingers again. No one dared to open their mouth.
And it was always the Sheikh who broke the silence.
“…Four things. You are a complete monster.”
attention is drawn
“…I can’t catch this guy. You shouldn’t even think about pursuing it. It’s not something we can afford.”
It was the first time Solas had ever seen the Sheikh speak like that. But at the same time, I didn’t feel like I was wrong.
You have four abilities. How is it different from having four powerful people in one body?
Sheikh continued.
“furthermore. You just caught the villains. Leave it alone. Shouldn’t it rather be rewarded?”
The president of the association opened his mouth.
“…Sheikh, you know. Private sanctions are a crime. Even a villain like Trino must be judged by the law. A is a criminal.”
“I know. But let’s show flexibility. Don’t tell me you don’t fight. You said you destroyed the villain alliance in 3 minutes. Even if we wanted to, we couldn’t.”
“Sheikh.”
“Besides, it’s not like putting all the villains on the court, right? How many villains die in battle? Even heroes die. Let’s just move on.”
“Who is incompetent? Some of the gang members at the scene said they were seriously injured. Maybe it will remain permanently disabled. Even if they were scum, I can’t say that this retaliation was justified.”
Sheik hit the desk.
-bang!
It was sudden, but it seemed as if the anger he had been holding back exploded.
Blood began to form in his eyes.
“…it’s always easy to say the right thing. It’s us who act. If you love justice that much, you go and get it.”
“…You’re saying it as if you’re trying to justify A’s actions. I didn’t tell you to catch me yet. But it should definitely be classified as a villain.”
“…you don’t have to bring it?”
“…Didn’t you say you couldn’t catch it…. We’ll have to wait and see. It could be that we blindly trust the words of the criminal gang members and get scared.”
Sheikh’s momentum fades.
He too was shaken by the appearance of a new villain.
It was the same with Solas… but now I was more worried about Jeong-gyeom.
When I see him thinking of Jeong-gyeom even in such a serious moment… I realized for myself how important he is to me.
She looked at the president of the association.
Wouldn’t that end the meeting?
I desperately need to think about cigarettes.
The president of the association sighed as he slowly touched his forehead.
“…Whoa… Super Villain… is it?”
****
The more I continued to talk with Han Yoo-jung, the more I threw off the burden of my heart one by one.
Not everything Song Soo-yeon told me was a lie.
“Since when did Luna belong to the Alliance?”
“I think it’s going to be about two months now.”
Song Soo-yeon’s voice resounds at Han Yoo-jung’s answer.
‘I got the ability later…Huh…It’s been awhile… Mister, please trust me…’
But at the same time, it was also painful.
When I thought of that mournful voice, a part of my heart kept throbbing.
“Then two months-“
“Jeong-gyeom, it’s my turn.”
“……ask.”
Unlike me, who asks about the Villain Alliance or Song Soo-yeon, Han Yoo-jung has been asking personal questions.
The difference in weight was clear from the question.
“How old are you?”
“…..Currently 23 years old.”
“I am your sister. Can I talk-“
“-During the past two months, has Luna been involved in any murders?”
“……Directly, there is none.”
I let out another deep sigh of relief.
Direct or indirect, what difference does it make… For me, who was desperate, this much was enough.
The original Luna had no hesitation in killing people.
Pieces of information come together.
The more I think about it, the more I think that Song Soo-yeon would not have returned.
Maybe that’s what I want to believe.
“Can I speak?”
When the turn has passed, Han Yu-jeong asks.
“no.”
“…You’re letting go too.”
Han Yoo-jeong, who let go of her words.
“…”
I couldn’t tell whether Han Yu-jeong was fearless, reckless, or risking everything.
She was trying to come to me. can’t know
As much as I am a regressor, I have no hesitation even though I know my past.
…the feeling comes.
The moment I took off the mask, she revealed my name and asked if I remembered me.
Judging by her reaction, we might have already met.
I don’t remember, though.
“…”
I immediately pay attention to her.
In fact, it didn’t matter if she spoke plain language or not.
Before moving on to a deeper question, I asked.
“What role did you play in the coalition?”
“Are you asking about me now?”
“Answer me.”
Han Yu-jeong smiled lightly. It wasn’t the time I wanted to see now.
“…was the leader.”
My impression was frowned upon. It was an unexpected answer.
At best, I thought I would run errands, but to be the leader.
Trinona Liquid. Stingshot and Liem are the villains I already remember.
But seeing Han Yu-jeong in front of her for the first time. I don’t even know the name of the villain.
It was hard to believe that she, like this, led the rest of the villains.
“….Do not lie.”
“Really.”
“…”
On the one hand, it is also understandable.
There was a reason why villains who had not gathered before formed an alliance. It was the work of another regressor.
The fact that they were like bugs and grew up by leaps and bounds must have been Han Yoo-jung’s work.
Hostility toward Han Yu-jeong rose. I had to use all my strength to suppress my shifting emotions.
“Then did you…seduce Luna?”
The fist is dry.
I keep thinking about the breakup with Song Soo-yeon, and my breathing becomes unstable.
Han Yoo-jung must have sensed my changed mood, and answered the series of questions in compliance.
“I went to find it. That’s right, Luna…isn’t she strong?”
“…”
“…but if you ask me if I’ve seduced you…well. We came together to achieve our own goals…”
“What was your goal?”
“me? Or Luna?”
“……”
Instead of answering, he glared at Han Yu-jeong.
There, she laid her gaze with a shy smile and strangely regretful eyes.
Then he said
“…isn’t that me too?”
“…”
“But do you believe everything I say?”
“…”
“What if I’m lying?”
“Answer me. Why did Luna join the Alliance?”
“…I don’t want to answer.”
Procrastinating on answering, she declared.
My eyes still didn’t look.
Now that I look back, my hands are shaking a little bit.
I was hiding it, but I guess I was afraid.
I didn’t care.
It wasn’t my knowledge.
It’s just frustrating that she doesn’t answer.
I raised my hand.
A single dice is created with a small whirlwind in the palm of your hand.
– Took.
He threw it right in front of her.
The scale is 3.
say it again
“Answer me.”
“…I won’t.”
Even so, her stubbornness did not break.
With a pitiful and pitiful expression, he lowered his head and said.
“…If I answer…you’ll never come to see me again. Because you are only interested in Lu, Luna…”
“…”
“…and…I hate that.”
She asked momentarily as she took in her growing breath.
“…really you don’t know who I am?”
“…”
She closed her eyes and only raised her head.
Even though he showed me his face, he couldn’t make eye contact.
her trembling face.
“…Dice, don’t you remember me?”
She asks again with respect. It was as if he was trying to pull something out of my memory.
Why?
I couldn’t get angry when I asked if I didn’t remember being so afraid.
It seemed more important to me to remember myself than the threat I was threatening her.
It’s like my old self asking for affection.
It’s like my old self, where I made rice for anyone out of loneliness and went out to serve.
“…………under.”
I finally let out a long sigh.
The dice placed in front of her disappear.
I got up from my seat.
I put the bag of bread I had been carrying into her cage.
If I’m hungry, I’ll take out more.
I started to get out of the basement.
This is enough for today.
Looking at the day I left, Han Yu-jeong said.
“…i’ll wait.”
she’s talking nonsense again.
“…”
“…I will give you an answer to your question someday…so please keep coming back.”
“…Don’t even think about getting close. I will turn you over to the Association soon.”
“…until then.”
“…”
I didn’t return an answer.
