I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With
chapter-88

A penthouse in Busan.

Two women were sitting there with a panoramic view of the Busan sea from the window.

"Oh, Haru. Haru."

"Why?"

"I'm jealous…"

"What?"

The blonde woman sitting at a table on the veranda, drinking cool mango juice with ice, is Shin Haru, an ordinary college student who hides her life as an A-class hero who came to play with her friend.

And the woman with the sky blue ponytail lying on the sofa, whining to her, was also A-class hero Icicle, Lee Seola. Instead, unlike Stardus, she didn't hide that she was a hero.

"Why? You're going to be S-class soon. You’re also the first one in Korea!"

"Haha, is it because of that?"

Finally, Shin Ha-ru, who figured out what Lee Seola was saying, smiled awkwardly.

"I'm jealous of you, S-class…I also wanted to be graded as an S-class…"

"Well, I don't know because I don't realize it. And I wonder how great it is to have the alphabet changed one by one."

Shin Haru talks so casually while stirring ice in juice with a straw.

And toward her, Lee Seola shook her head as if she shouldn’t talk nonsense.

"What are you talking about? How much will it change if you become an S-class? It's gonna change your status right now. The difference between S-class and A-class among people is the difference between heaven and earth."

"Really? I don't know… H. Well, it's possible because the bigger you are, the better it is for the company."

Shin Haru nodded and said so. She also knows that Lee Seola runs a company at the same time while being a hero. Therefore, hero activities are also done for the image making of the company rather than for the sense of justice.

"Yeah. Haa… I want to get a higher grade, too. But in order to do that, I need to have a strong villain to get good results, but everything here is weak. There aren't any special kids! I wish I had a kid like yours, Egostic."

When Egostic suddenly came out of Lee Seola's mouth, Shin Haru flinched for a moment.

And Seola continues to talk, whether she knows it or not.

"Oh! Should I take this opportunity to go to Seoul? There aren't that many villains here these days anyway. Haru, can I deal with him if he does something this time?"

"…No."

"What?"

Haru said it reflexively without realizing it.

And she realized what she had said only after seeing Lee Seola tilting her head, and hurriedly added the reason.

"No, because he kept threatening me to come when he caused terrorism, and if someone else deals with him, he might do something unexpected, right? And… uh”

"All right, all right. Why are you so nervous?"

Looking at Seola smiling and telling her to calm down, Shin Haru exhaled.

Why did I answer like that?'

She herself was embarrassed by the words that popped out without going through her brain. What is it? It's like… She felt repulsed when Egostic said he was fighting with a hero other than her.

…..Yeah, it's because she knows Egostic the best and she’s been fighting for the longest time. Seola might get hurt while dealing with him. He's an irregular and hard-to-stop terrorist, so she’s worried that Seola is a little too much to deal with, so she’s fighting him instead. Yes.

While thinking to herself about the excuse she didn't know who she was making, Lee Seola, who was smiling with her arms on her side, soon stood up.

Stretch out your arms.Stretching for a while with the same sound, she spoke to Shin Haru again.

"Uh… Haru, I'm going to go to work for a while today. I'll be right back, I'll be right back! Give me a few minutes. Got it?"

"Huh? Uh, yeah. Go ahead."

"Okay. Bye."

With such a big smile, she left the living room, waving her tied sky blue hair. Leaving Haru alone in thought, still smoothed her lips behind.

And soon after, she arrived at the headquarter’s building.

And as soon as she entered the company, her face came back blank in an instant.

As she entered the hallway with a completely different cold expression, all the nearby staff greeted her.

"Good morning, boss."

"Good morning."

She looks back at the people who bow their heads here and there and finally receives a greeting with a slight smile.

"Yes, yes, hello."

Of course, after greeting her, her expression returned to a blank face. And when she got to the top floor where her office was, the atmosphere of the building changed dramatically.

Rather than bright and lively as downstairs, such a calm and slightly heavy air enveloped her.

After getting off the elevator, she untied her hair. Click, clack. The sound of her footsteps echoing around. Soon after arriving at the office, she spoke to the bodyguard standing in front of her.

"When I'm at work, don't let anyone in here. Understood?"

"Yes, my lady”

After nodding to his robotic reply in sunglasses, she entered her office.

Her spacious office, larger than the living room of most houses

Except for her, she walked away and sat down with her back to the window.

"Phew…"

She took out one of the stacked payment documents.

Then she took out a ballpoint pen nearby and started signing the documents.

Like that, she was doing paperwork with her head down for a while.

How long has it been?

She put down her pen, held a cup of coffee, and opened her mouth before touching it.

"Why don't you just sit there quietly and say something?"

Her voice reverberated in the empty office.

Then, soon there was a man's voice in front of her.

"Shall we?"

Let's raise her head and look forward.

There was someone sitting in front of an empty office chair until she came in.

A man wearing a black hat, a black cape, and a gray mask covering half his face, sitting cross-legged.

Soon, he smiled slightly at her and spoke up.

"Hello, Lee Seola. My name is Egostic. Nice to meet you."

***

Very manly.

First of all, advance with the stage gun.

Having recklessly headed to Busan, I was currently facing Lee Seola and her long sky-blue hair.

She sipped coffee with an indifferent face, as if she was expecting me to come.

….I decided to pretend I didn't see her fingers shaking a little.

In fact, she was working while yawning. I belatedly confirmed that I was sitting in front of her and decided to erase the fact that she flinched from my memory. It was kind of funny to see her flinch and pretend like she didn't see anything and get back into the paperwork, but anyway.

So while I secretly teleported in front of her and sat for a while, she kept working on the documents pretending to know nothing, but after a while, she put down her pen and finally spoke to me.

She spoke so calmly and quietly that she couldn't believe it was a word to a villain who broke into her personal space.

"Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t just sit there quietly."

So I answered her personally.

"Shall we?"

"Hello, Lee Seola. My name is Egostic. Nice to meet you."

A quiet nod to the greeting I gave with a smile.

Then after a sip of coffee, she soon opened her mouth again.

"So, why are you here? Are you finally ready to turn yourself in?"

She smiled and said that to me, and I was greeted with the same smile.

"Haha. How can that be? However, I came because I was interested in Lee Seola, the actual ruler of Yuseong Enterprise, who pretended to be a hero and tried to devour the Republic of Korea."

"Oh, really? I also thought that Egostic, who pretends to be a villain and takes care of Stardus and protects Korea, came to the camp himself."

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Hahahaha."

So for a moment in her office, my laughter and her dry laughter rang out.

So, after a long laugh.

We stopped laughing at the same time as if we had promised each other.

"…That's great, that's great Lee Seola. I thought you would expect that much."

"Me too, Mr. Egostic. I didn't know you thought of me like that. Where the hell did you get that information? There's no way it's ever leaked"

"Ha ha. There is no secret in the world, isn't there?"

I crossed my arms saying that.

It's important to look relaxed and smile here. In front of Lee Seola, if I let my guard down, I can be robbed. She's such a scary woman.

Seeing myself smiling leisurely with her legs crossed in the main room of someone else's house, she sighed as if she was giving up and opened her mouth.

"…All right, so, why did you come to me?"

Only then did I grin and reply, seeing her asking me.

"Lee Seola, do you have any thoughts of forming a ‘cooperative relationship' with me?"

How to survive in this crazy hero comic world.

Let's hold hands with the dark secret.

The dark secret is not something to beat, but something to take a bus with.

"……."

Shin Haru, who came to visit her friend Lee Seola's house and was resting for a while, suddenly felt a slight sensation in her spine.

"…What the."

She just had a hunch that something very, very bad was going on…
