I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With
chapter-90

There are quite a few reasons why I decided to cooperate with Lee Seola.

First of all, I thought she would take care of the dark secret since she’s the dark secret.

As a result of thinking about it, it was concluded that it would be more advantageous for her to control the Republic of Korea as a whole. From what I saw in the original, she reigns while keeping the line in moderation.

And in particular, there is an advantage that I can use her if I leave her in the dark.

In fact, all I can do is hack and terror, so I need to borrow for greater power. And Seola is perfect.

That's how I suggested I'd like to cooperate with her.

A week later, when she agreed to it, the hero-villain's bond was established.

"Well, the coffee tastes good."

"Whoa, you know how to enjoy coffee. This is an Esmeralda special. It's a very hard one to get?"

What's that, dude?

But here, I just nodded quietly. Staying still is a good choice, you know. Es… matilda? Well, there must be something like that.

"By the way, you've been speaking informally very naturally since earlier, haven't you?"

Lee Seola glanced at me and said so.

Well.

"Now that we're in an alliance, isn't it weird to use honorifics? You speak informally, too."

As I shrugged, she widened her eyes.

"No, I’m good."

It was Lee Seola who crossed her arms saying that. Well, I know it as the original, but she only talks to Shin Haru informally and uses honorifics to everyone else anyway. I mean, it's not something new.

By the way, she is quite obedient, albeit a little curt. To be exact, I'd say she'd follow my lead. The USB I gave her last time probably worked quite well.

Lee Seola. As far as I know, she will be concentrating on conquering the business world around this time. As she is ambitious, she must be working hard to engulf other companies. Especially since HanEun Group collapsed.

Of course, it's not easy, but when she’s in trouble, ta-da! I just showed up and gave her an answer. I'll be able to solve all the things I can do in the next few years with the information on my USB. Of course, the information was collected by Seo-eun. Thank you, Seo-eun.

Anyway, she seems to have lost her guard against me quite a bit because of my little gift. In fact, the atmosphere is much more comfortable now than before, and I'm probably really thinking of cooperating with her, and it's calculated that it would be good to actually make a side dish.

"Hey, I wrote it all down, so read it."

When I was lost in thought for a moment, I heard her voice from the front.

Busan Yuseong Enterprise's top floor.

We were in the reception room on one side, setting out matters to be agreed upon.

"Oh, yeah. Is this a basic contract?"

"Yes. I'm going to decide the rest verbally anyway, so I only wrote the basics.""

Her neat handwriting with a pen

I read it roughly, and in summary, it can be said that we will help each other.

"Provide additional information. Yeah. I'll help you as much as I can. We're one team now, but I'm happy when you do well."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Did you just live by being fooled?"

I said with a smirk to her eyes twinkling

As expected. You've been very ambitious since then. The attitude that you can do anything for your dream is cool. It's a shame that her dream is to conquer Korea.

"And well, if there's anything you want to add, tell me now. Let's decide everything here."

"Really? Then… Let's meet once a week from now on."

"What?"

"Let's meet once a week and share information with each other. You said it was an alliance. If it's an alliance, you have to see my face often."

"…You want me to come down to Busan once a week?”

That’s too much.

She hummed, as if she had read my uncomfortable expression.

"If you don't like it, I can go up to Seoul."

The contract we made is, in fact, simple.

I help her conquer Korea, and she tells me everything about the forces trying to sabotage me – whether it's the government or the association. The end.

But is this something we can do while seeing each other every week? I think it's enough to meet her once in a while

“Once a week, let's meet once a month. That would be perfect."

"What do you mean it's perfect? Don't be ridiculous."

She asks back absurdly.

In the end, we agreed to meet once every two weeks after discussion.

"…So, is the conquest project going well?"

"Don't even tell me. Well, it's just going to be merging, it's going to be…"

I sneaked a look at how it's going these days, and she's talking smoothly. I nodded as I listened to her lamentable story. Yes, yes. I see.

That's how we talked for quite a long time. Perhaps because there was a consensus that they hid their inner thoughts and identities, and worked the opposite way on the outside, we communicated well. This is another unexpected thing.

I wonder how much we've talked.

As we continued to talk about this and that, we changed the topic to Shin Haru before we knew it.

"Haru… Haa. Right. Did you not know about her real identity? Did I accidentally leak it?"

"I know everything. Stardus, Shin Haru, I know everything."

"Well, I expected that you'd know. But you really know…"

She said that, and then, with great curiosity, she drew her head closer to me and said,

"But… this is something I've been wondering for a long time, why are you so obsessed with Stardus?"

"Obsessed? Me?"

"Yes, you."

When did I get obsessed? It's a dirty deed.

I took a brazen attitude as if I didn't know what she was talking about, she smiled and opened her mouth.

“Aren't you trying to grow our Haru by targeting her? I think it's kind of like a game where you level up the character instead. Villain activity is an extension of that concept, right?"

Why is she so sharp?

While I hesitated for a moment to answer, she got up before I knew it and sneaked up next to me.

Then, she comes up to the chair next to me and puts her arm on it. Then, she began to talk to me as if she were whispering.

"To be honest, I was a little envious of Stardus. You know how her popularity increases every time you guys fight."

She said that, then lowered her head for a moment, leaning back at me altogether.

Her drooping sky blue hair covered my face, while she whispered to me in a smaller voice from the side.

"…So, I'm begging you. Can you terrorize me, too? We're colleagues. Icicle, come and call me out, too. Okay?"

Now, I turned my face toward her whispering to me in a voice that was completely tingling.

Then, I met eyes with Lee Seola, who was looking at me from a close enough distance to meet each other's breath.

Her face, smiling with eyes at me, fills my view, and involuntarily raises my hand toward her as she approaches.

I hit her forehead.

"Argh!"

She backed off with her forehead gripped by a sudden attack.

Her face is red and she even shows tears around her eyes. "What are you doing!"

I replied with a smirk at her, who cried out in a worldly way

"What does it mean? It means get a hold of yourself.""

"What are you talking about? This is sexual harassment. I'll report you!"

"A-class hero, shocked to be sexually harassed at her house by a villain. It's going to be a great article, right?"

I only smiled quietly at her staring at me with a little tear in my eyes. I hit her really weakly.

….Maybe because she's ashamed to overdo it like that. What was that vibe just now? I don't know what's wrong with her. I know she’s comfortable with me, all of a sudden? Did she try to seduce me?

Well, I think that's right, seeing that my ears are red, too. As expected, she’s still stupid.

Anyway, let's look back on her suggestion.

Terrorism. If I do, does she mean in Busan?

"……And, no terrorism."

"What? Why?"

She shoots at me.

Why? It's because my terror is only allowed to Stardus.

To answer like that, I thought it wouldn't be bad to raise Icicle. In the original, she was the one who caught Behemoth, but I took care of it because of the power-up project.

It's flown away, so I'll have to take some responsibility.

…..But it doesn't have to be now, does it?

I changed my words and said it again.

"…Okay, I'll do it for you. But I can't now. So, later."

"When will you? Come on! Please make a detailed plan."

There is no such thing.

I quickly changed the subject.

"…By the way, you're close to Stardus, aren't you?"

"Haru? We're close. But why is that suddenly coming out?"

I continued before she hurried back to her original subject.

"It's nothing, and please curse me whenever you’re with Haru."

"What?"

She tilted her head for a moment, as if she didn't understand me. And not missing the moment she was dazed, I said like a wedge.

"Please continue to talk behind my back."

"…What? Are you a pervert?"

What do you mean?

"So, before Haru suspects you, do you want me to swear in advance so that she can recognize you as a villain?"

"Yes."

"…Uh, I don't think this will work."

"No, it will work."

Who am I. Stardus expert.

I'm 100% sure it works.

Who is Shin Haru? Isn't she a woman with a sense of justice?

I don't have much sense in it, and especially as I'm swept away by my friends' words, if you keep reminding me that I'm a heinous villain, I'll continue to antagonize you without doubting me.

Although Lee Seola in front of me looked suspicious. No, trust me!

"…Okay, I got it, for now. I'll try."

"Thank you."

I got up after saying that.

We’re done. Let's go back.

When I got up like that, Lee Seola, who was sitting in front of me again, jumped up.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, you've decided, right? I'll see you in two weeks, we exchanged numbers."

"…No, wait! What about my terrorist attack?

I'll do it for you one day. Someday.

As I tried to say, a flash crossed my mind for a moment.

Come to think of it, isn't there an incident in Busan soon?

If that's the case, maybe… Even if I don't come out…

I rephrased what I was going to say.

"Yes, all right. I'll be in touch soon, so pick up. Got it?"

"Really? You're going to do it for me in a little bit, right?"

"Yes. I’m not fooling you."

I smiled unconsciously, looking at my favorite Icicle.

Well, a hero's pestering a villain for some terror.

What is this? It's not match-fixing, it's an adult's world that kids don't know about. Political circles are supposed to drink with their brothers behind those kids’ backs, who fight among themselves.

After so much further agreement, I was finally able to leave there.

Well, I guess it worked out.

But seems like it's working out too well

"Miss, did something good happen?"

"What? Oh, nothing."

Sitting in the back seat of the car, heading home again.

Lee Seola, who was recounting today's work leaning on her seat, formed a smile unknowingly.

Egostic. The meeting with him turned out very good.

She expected him to be just crazy when she saw him on the show, but when she met him in person, he was much better than she thought, to the surprise of her.

In particular, he was a person who could communicate after a while, beside Haru. Especially, he understands everything that she can't tell Haru.

"…I like that."

Her eyes twinkled, muttering unconsciously.

Lee Seola. She loves this man, Egostic. Capable, talkative, trustworthy. In a word, she likes him.

As she had absolute certainty in her eyes, she was sure.

Yeah. she’ll have to get this guy on her side no matter of course. She decided so.

She had confidence, because she gets whatever she wants once she has eyes on it ever since she was young.

In the backseat of a dark car.

Only her sky blue eyes twinkled in the darkness.

Egostic. She'll make him her own.

***

“I'm kinda nervous…"

Shin Haru muttered like that without realizing it.

For some reason, the anxiety is growing, let alone being relieved.

What is it…
