C16: Here Comes The Big One

Stardus. Shin Haru.

Her parents gave her that name, with the meaning of 'Starting a new day'.

But these days, she can barely have a new day.

"Haa…"

Looking at her smartphone, she sighed and dropped it down.

[Let's be honest. What have Stardus done?]

Those words seemed to ring in her ears.

The public opinions centered around the Internet.

They doubt the quality of the A-class hero, Stardus.

Honestly, she was very upset.

What has she done wrong?

Her only crime is to save people from time to time while attending college.

But the public opinions coldly stared her down.

Ever since he appeared.

Why should she be vilified when she did as usual and only ran out when she heard Egostic had appeared in town?

She even let him go and could not catch him properly since she was afraid the citizens would be in danger.

She could not understand.

Why people like how Egostic eliminates other villains.

The citizens accumulated dissatisfaction seeing heroes only caught and gave the diabolical villains soft punishments.

The anger which used to direct at the judges had spread to the heroes before they knew it.

You should have killed him on the spot. Why did they have to aim to capture them alive?

Because you only captured them alive so they still live comfortably in prison like that,…

It was nonsense, but complaints have already spread quietly among the citizens.

And then he came out like a comet that everyone was waiting for.

A man who hunts villains has appeared.

That is Egostic.

He was the person that every Korean person has been dreaming of.

…Of course, he caused the cruise ships terrorism. No, to be exact, the case should be considered as an attempt terrorist incident.

He did not cause any terrorism after all. No one pressed the button, the citizens were quickly convinced and easily backed off.

And he defeated the terrorist hostage crisis at Daehyun Tower by himself. That incident was so big that it had to be buried.

When other heroes were unable to do anything because of the hostages, he proudly entered the enemy camp by himself and succeeded in rescuing everyone without any death. He even gave them money.

And Teleporter, who was graded as class A because of the danger of his escape skill, was eliminated by him.

The public showed their enthusiasm in many ways. It is not a coincidence that almost every community likes him and a fancafe for him has been opened.

And those who confront him will naturally become evil.

And it happened to be her.

"Haa…"

Shin Haru took another sip of the mango frappé in her hand.

As she feels ashamed and painful, she wonders if this is why she became a hero.

She was shocked to see even her close senior friend expressed that she likes Egostic lately.

Sitting by the window in the cafe, she looked out.

As spring came, cherry blossoms bloomed so beautifully on the street.

She doesn't even have time to go see it because of both her college life and hero life.

But even so, people are cursing at her.

Even in the regular meeting of the Hero Association last time,

She almost fainted as the general manager said with a smile, 'I am getting more comfortable these days thanks to Egostic'.

It is not normal. Everyone except her is crazy.

"Haa… No. Get a hold of yourself."

She shook her head and decided to finish her assignment.

She cannot be productive if she keeps digging into it like this.

She has to do her homework.

So she pulled herself together and tried to finish the assignment.

Until she got a call at this time.

[Stardus, turn on the TV right now! Egostic is back. He pointed you out again!]

Her face stiffened.

Perhaps, it is time for work again.

Shin Haru immediately kicked her seat and hurried out.

No matter what people say, she is a hero.

She is on her way to do her job.

***

"Long time no see, my fellow citizens! It is your likable villain, Egostic!"

On a cliff with a panoramic view of the railroad.

I greeted the camera.

I am going to be broadcasted live on everyone's TV again.

Actually, I think even with just a livestream on Youtube, the terrestrial TV will broadcast it on its own.

This  time I hijacked the waves again.

Why? Because it can show my potential.

Since the last hijacking incident, the broadcasting companies seem to have paid a lot of attention to the security, but it is nothing more than a useless decoration to me. Well, I actually did nothing… Seo-eun did it all… But who would know that?

Bowing my head, I looked at the hologram with my right eye hidden behind the mask.

Using a high technology made by Seo-eun, it has a function that allows me to see holograms in front of my eyes like the suit in Iron Man's world. But the important thing is that there was no software to put into this function. So I opened the chat window from the Youtube live broadcast. I opened it…

[The big one is coming. The big one is coming. The big one is coming. The big one is coming. The big one is coming. The big one is coming. The big one is coming. The big one is coming. The big one is coming. The big one is coming.]

[Egostic Live ON. Hahahahaha.]

[I was bored but a fun event came. Hahahaha]

[What crazy stuff is he planning to do today? Hahahaha.]

[Ego-Hi(meaning Egostic-Hi)]

[Let's go~ Let's go~ ]

[Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick! Mango Stick!]

…but I already regret it… Do they think this is a surprise event?

I checked my reflection on the camera. As always, I am wearing my suit in black from head to toe. I am wearing a gray half-mask on my face, which is my symbolic appearance. Honestly, I wanted to wear a black wizard hat here, but I could not because Seo-eun refrained from that. Next time, I am going to use it secretly.

Anyway, let's keep talking.

"I have been getting a lot of news lately. Yes! A lot of them are coming in. A lot of people like me! I saw my fancafe, too! Gosh, it is very fascinating. Haha."

I said with an awkward laugh.

I scratched my head and laughed.

But all of sudden, my face got serious.

"But. I think you guys are misunderstanding something."

I spoke with my low voice and walked to the edge of the cliff. The camera followed me and slowly approached me. I controlled all of it with my telekinesis. Phew, I am lucky to have this telekinetic power. Or I had to hire a personal cameraman. How awkward would it be to look at the cameraman on this cliff while bragging.

Keeping my low voice, I continued while looking at the edge of the cliff.

"I am a criminal, guys. Do they use the word 'villain' these days? Anyway, that's me. I think a lot of people forgot that I am a villain who eliminated other villains for my vulgar satisfaction, not for you guys!"

[This brat, he is such a tsundere*wwwwwww] TN: Tsundere is a term for people who act rude, cold, and hostile towards the people they care about in order to conceal their warm and caring feelings.

I almost fell off the cliff when I saw the chat window. Can't I turn this off in the middle? I should tell Seo-eun to make an OFF function after this.

I almost lost my mind, but I am a professional. I spoke up without changing my expression.

"In that sense, I have prepared another great project. I think you guys are not scared of me yet. Now! Everyone, can you see the railroad far away?"

I fixed the camera to the track side of the train with my telekinesis.

The tracks were straight all the way, but there was a forked road that extended to the other side in the middle.

And the camera showed how people were tied up at the end of the track.

"Hahahahaha! Can you see this?"

The chat window turned upside down in an instant.

Yes, this is it. This is it! Fear me more!

"I tied them up. People on the track. This place where the train runs straight! Five innocent people are being tied up here. And the place where the train goes out! Only one person is tied up at that crossroads. If this train keeps running straight, it will run over five people. But do you see the lever over there? If you pull that, the lever will change the track. So the train is going to hit only one person who is tied up there."

[I think I saw this somewhere]

[Isn't this The Trolley Dilemma?] TN: Also known as "The Trolley Problem". A series of thought experiments in ethics and psychology.

[Trolley Dilemma for real?]

I could not help but look at the chat window.

Oh, so people in this world also know about The Trolley Dilemma unlike in the Dark Knight.

Still, I guess no villains have done this yet. I swallowed a sigh of relief.

"Should we turn the lever? I am not going to switch it. Fyi, stopping the train is not an option."

I switched the screen shown by the camera.

Now, a view of the engine room in the running train is shown. The driver there was unconscious and collapsed, a masked woman was driving the train. Yes, that is Soobin. Thank you, Soobin!

"If you do something stupid, you might flip the train, so please keep that in mind. The only option is to turn the lever or not. Well, I will stop talking. Ms. Stardus, please come. I will keep an eye on your moral judgment."

Okay, the situation is all set.

Now, Shin Haru. You just need to come.

[Stardus again. At this point, this is true love.]

I completely ignored the chat window.

C17: Time To Choose

Terrorism.

It sounds like a simple thing to do where you just need to throw a bomb.

But in reality, it's complicated as it requires a lot of design and planning. Although I have caused only two large-scale terrorist attacks, I can assure you that it's true. Probably.

People were tied to the tracks that the train passes.

It sounds so easy. Or does it?

You might think that we can just kidnap a person and tie him up…

But when you do it for real, it's not easy at all.

Firstly, it was hard to find people that allowed me to tie them up.

How uncomfortable would I feel if I tied up real citizens and killed them by mistake?

Even though I have already gotten a lot of blood on my hands, I haven't been able to sleep at night after doing it. I was only an ordinary law-abiding citizen of South Korea not too long ago.

So I picked out some rotten ones. Those who got off with a slap on the wrist even after committing a felony. It was somewhat easy to kidnap them because they were still living like trash.

Even though I succeeded in kidnapping them, tying them to the tracks was also a big problem. Actually, it's somehow similar to the kidnapping part. There are too many CCTVs in Korea. They don't install them all over the place because of privacy violations, but sometimes,  they arrange them cautiously.

Of course, I can avoid CCTV with my teleportation and the help of Seo-eun's hacking skills, but tying people to the tracks…

In Korea, because there is that invincible hero, Shadow Walker, I will be in big trouble if I get caught doing something at night. It would be fine if various terrorist attacks happen at the same time since Shadow Walker cannot deal with all of them at once. But because all villains are cowards, it would be a big problem if they went out alone at night. Tsk.

I mean, I teleported and tied people up in broad daylight.  It's embarrassing and weird. Even if there was no CCTV, the day is bright, I'm not sure how to feel about it…

And the train. Honestly, I know my sin is big, but since the previous cruise ship bombing and the building bombing of my followers, explosives inspections have been tightened everywhere, so I cannot install bombs on the train. So Soobin had no choice but to get to work. She anesthetized the train driver and drove the train herself.

Soobin, I'm certain that she had no friends and only stayed at home since she was young, but she knows how to drive everything. From a helicopter to a train, an excavator, and even a plane. I asked her how she could do it and I almost fainted as she said she learned it through a computer simulator.

Rationally, it made no sense to me at all, but I decided to accept that fact as I found out that she started studying for the CSAT a week before and was still able to get into Seoul National University. That's right, geniuses surely are different from me.

I thought she was similar to me since she was so timid, but I forgot that she was also a genius who could have a technical conversation with Seo-eun. Am I the only normal one here? That's so sad…

Anyway, we let Soobin drive the train. It will be difficult for us if the driver suddenly stops or drifts the train to avoid hitting people. And if that happens, she will derail the train and die.

It takes time, effort, and insurance to start terrorism. As I always say, I have a fragile body that can be killed instantly with just one punch from Stardus. I told her to pull the lever, but I can say farewell to this world when she pulls my spine. That's why I must have insurance. The first insurance is for Soobin, who might have to derail the train . And the second insurance is for installing the bomb at the place where I tied those people in case Stardus attacks the train. Nothing is easy.

Still, at least if I do it like this,

I can show the citizens what a dangerous villain I am!

I can raise Stardus' favorability again!

I, Da-in, can sacrifice myself for my favorite character.

And just in time, she's coming here.

With her blonde hair flying, Stardus is coming in her red latex suit that I have no idea how she had time to change.

It's the same feeling every time I see her, how pretty she is.

Will I ever be able to date a girl who is as beautiful as Stardus? I don't think so, probably.

Of course, Soobin's beauty is also pretty comparable to Stardus'… Even so.

Anyway, it's time to get back to the concept.

Although I can feel my hands and legs getting shaky, I already chose this concept! Protecting her by being evil.

"Oh, the star of the day. Ms. Stardus, you are finally here!"

I clapped my hands and greeted Stardus.

She landed a little far from me.

"You punk! What the hell are you doing?"

Well.

Actually, my concept is not the only weird thing.

I didn't notice it when I read the comic, but after hearing it directly from Stardus, uh…

You and I, we both picked the wrong concept. Don't you think so?

Hearing an ordinary female college student like Shin Haru speak in a historical drama tone in modern times is weird.

Of course, I'm also not a pushover.

"Hahahahaha! What am I doing? I just wanted to see if you could make a 'moral' choice."

"You punk. Do you think that you will be fine if you slaughter citizens like that?"

[Citizens (Not)]

[Killing (Haven't done it)]

[That Stardus, why is she trying to slander our Mango Stick like that?]

[Really. Do you really think that his name is Mango?]

[Me likey….]

[You mean who?]

[I mean I like Stardus. I'm being sarcastic. I don't like her.]

[??? Didn't you say that you liked Egostic?]

[I think you do mean that you like her.]

[What the fuck, why are there two meanings for "like"?]

[Judge it based on the context.]

[This dude, I guess it's your first time seeing slang in the community, you cannot get yourself together. wwww*] *TN: It is used to express laughter

[Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo. Release Kim Sunwoo.]

[Stop leaving comments!]

[I hate seeing Stardus' face.]

…I checked the chat window one more time, and even in this situation, they are even more abusive toward Stardus. No, I have to hurry up and turn the table!

I spoke up in an exaggerated voice.

"Well, that's not the problem. Right now, the train is coming and the problem is it's going to hit five people! Why don't you go over there and quickly decide whether to pull the lever or not?"

I could see veins growing on Stardus' forehead as I spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"…Is there any reason why I should not just leave you here?"

"What? Of course, there is a reason! You know what this is, right?"

I quickly pulled the detonator out of my robe. Did I not explain this yet? Probably not yet.

"Now, can you see this? If I press it, all six of them will be wiped out. And if I die, my men who are driving the train will not stay still, right? So you better calm down."

Stardus did not seem to like it very much, but she seemed convinced. Phew, that was close.

But I don't have time right now. I think the train is almost here.

"Now! Breaking news, the train is getting close!"

As soon as I finished, I teleported to the lever under the cliff. Looking up at the cliff from below, Stardus was looking around to find me but then flew toward the lever a little later.

"Now, now! It's time to make a choice. What will you do? If you don't turn the lever, the five people who are tied up there will die. Nu-uh, don't go there! You can just derail the train. Yes, lever. If you turn the lever, only one person will die. Please decide quickly whether to sacrifice one to save five."

Quickly finishing my words, I climbed back up the cliff.

On the cliff, the camera filmed Stardus who is thinking hard in front of the lever. And the sound of a train coming in right away can be heard.

"Now, now! The train to Pentakill* is coming in. What choice will our Stardus make?" *TN: In the video game 'Valorant', the term is used when a single player eliminates five players and becomes an ace

[She has to turn the lever.]

[If she turns the lever, Stardus will be the one who kills that one person, right? If she stays still, she will be innocent, but if she turns the lever, she will kill someone with her own hands.]

[It will be the right choice if she turns it, because she will save four people in a utilitarian way…]

Even in the chat window, people are having mixed opinions.

Still, everyone seems to expect Stardus to turn the lever.

Yeah, everyone certainly would think that way.

But I know.

The Stardus I know is not that kind of person!

The train is just around the corner.

Stardus, who was suffering in front of the lever, did not pull the lever in the end.

She then clenched her fist, and started running toward the train.

[AAAAAAAAh! Da-in! She is running towards me. What should I do?]

I heard Soobin's scream from my in-ear. She must be looking at Stardus running straight to her from the engine room.

I hurriedly muted the camera I was filming and told her.

"Don't worry. She is not coming to hurt you."

Probably, she is going to try blocking the train with her body.

Alright.

If it's the Stardus I know, the most righteous Shin Haru,

I knew she would choose a path that no one would get hurt.

Now, I'm going to make her stand out that way.

After taking the camera off mute, I screamed while tearing my hair out with my hands.

"No way! What the hell is Stardus doing?!! Oh, my god!"

I screamed like a pterodactyl and I could feel the pain in my throat right away.

Stardus, are you watching?

I'm so screwed up for you…

C18: Hero

The train is moving fast.

What will happen if the train properly hits a person?

Well, most people would have the same thought.

That person is going to break into pieces.

That is a common thought.

In that sense, what do you think when you see someone running toward an oncoming train?

You would not able to think much other than, 'These days, people try so many ways to suicide!'

The view that I'm looking at now is the same.

A slender woman is running straight to the train.

But I have faith in her.

I believe that she will not be shattered.

But this is not the time for me to say so.

It's time to be exaggerated.

I made a fuss at the sight.

"No!!! Is that even possible? If you do that, you will be shattered!"

[Did Stardus finally go out of her mind?]

[I know Stardus is an A-class hero but can she handle that?]

[No, I don't think Stardus will be able to handle it. I saw the data posted by the Hero Association, the maximum amount of her physical strength is less than that train crash.]

[What will happen?]

[I said that she should have chosen either one or five deaths, but it seems like we will have six deaths.]

"Wait! Ms. Stardus! Why are you trying to kill yourself? Stop!!!"

I'm screaming on the cliff, loud enough for Stardus to hear me.

I was only watching Stardus running into the train in vain.

But the chat window is heating up.

[Koitsu*. Why is he panicking over meeting a mad woman? wwwww] *TN: "This brat". It is actually a Japanese word, but Koreans use it as slang.

[He only re-created a dilemma but someone is committing suicide. Hahahahaha]

[Why is Mango Stick frozen?]

[He became an ice mango. wwwwwww]

[I think they should upgrade him to an S-class villain.]

[He can eliminate an A-class hero by doing nothing. Hahahahahaha]

[These crazy brats! If Stardus dies, we are doomed, too. It's not time for you guys to laugh!!!]

[Isn't Stardus in charge of Seoul? I don't live in Seoul, so it doesn't matter. Hahahahaha]

[As long as it's not meeeeee Hahahahaha]

"This… This is not my intention…"

I muttered bitterly.

To be exact, I'm pretending to be bitter.

Not my intention, my ass. Of course, this is my intention.

With Stardus' personality, there is no way that she would let anyone sacrifice.

She would rather sacrifice herself.

Stardus. Shin Haru.

Shin Haru goes through many hardships in the original comic.

All kinds of extraordinary villains do their best and try various ways to kill Stardus.

In the process, Shin Haru's body and mind become tattered. Even though she is more righteous than anyone else, she constantly suffers.

On the first day that I realized that I had stepped into this strange world, I made a promise.

Let's relieve Stardus, Shin Haru's pain.

But there is a tiny problem.

Like any hero in the hero movies, Shin Haru also gets stronger as she goes through hardships.

The more exhausted your mind is, the stronger your ability will get, and the harder your body is, the stronger your ability will also get.

A grass-like character who overcomes hardships.

But the thing is, the odds are fading as I decide to remove villains instead of her.

She has to suffer, but she doesn't suffer because of me.

If she does not suffer, she cannot become stronger.

And if she cannot get stronger, there will be a lot of trouble.

As I said before, the world which was made up in the original comic will become power inflation. Obviously, Korea, where appropriate heroes and appropriate villains are gathered, becomes a story of villains becoming insanely stronger over time and Stardus also becoming insanely stronger.

And the U.S. In this worldview, the United States is always in a state where it seems to be able to turn into a mess in 5 minutes. Korea is the world's no.1 in having no S-class hero, and also a country that has the most S-class villains. A country where all kinds of incidents and accidents happen every day.

In the second half of the story, some kind of deity appears, and also the world has to face global destruction, which even the S-class people in the U.S. cannot stop but my Stardus prevents them all.

I have been talking for too long, but the bottom line is that Stardus have to suffer and get stronger to prevent the end of the world.

And now I'm the one who has to give her the hardships.

Wouldn't it be better for Stardus to suffer from me, who is in charge of a systematic and well-organized hardship curriculum, rather than suffering from those unpredictable villains that only cause casualties to the citizens and property damages?

Anyway, I'm better than them.

And the first of my hardship gift set is blocking the train, which is coming right away.

Yeah, it can be hard. It can be hard, but we will be able to withstand it for one day. Stardus, cheer up!

At that moment, Stardus crashed into the train.

BUMP! A tremendous roar that can be heard all the way here.

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!]

…Also, Soobin's scream.

I'm so sorry, Soobin. Please hang in there a little longer.

I watched the sight with my mouth open.

Through a cloud of dust, the train kept running.

However, it's certainly slowing down.

Because someone is pushing it at the front.

The squeaking train, which was slowing down, finally managed to stop just right in front of those five people. It works! It stopped! Phew, I secretly sighed.

Hold on. Stardus is okay, right? I looked there with my fist clenched. She made it, right? She definitely made it. There is no way my Stardus would collapse because of this. That's right, she definitely made it.

I gulped down my saliva without myself knowing. An unprecedented situation. The dust began to clear out.

I somehow started to feel anxious. What if she died? Oh, then that cannot happen.

A horrifying moment.

Before I knew it, all the dusty clouds were cleared up.

What appeared in it was the image of Stardus standing firm.

I opened my clenched fist and shouted without realizing it.

"Yes!!!… I mean! Oh! Oh… Oh! You made it. You made it. Wow, you made it. Yeah, this is not what I planned, but… Well, alright. You solve this dilemma in your own way. Hmm. Alright."

[Did he just yell "Yes"? Hahahahaha]

[Doesn't he look happier than anyone else since Stardus is okay?]

[I knew it from the moment this Mango Stick killed the other villains and wrote Stardus' name. He is Stardus' number one fan all this time. wwwwww]

[What the fuck? "Yes" he said. Hahahaha]

[Egostic is so cute.]

[Wow, but Stardus made it! How did she do that?]

[Wasn't the speed like 140? How can a person withstand that?]

[Not a person, she is a hero.]

[Stardus! Stardus! Stardus! Stardus! Stardus! Stardus! Stardus! Stardus! Stardus! Stardus! Stardus! Stardus!]

[Mom, I'm going to become Stardus when I grow up! Mom, I'm going to become Stardus when I grow up! Mom, I'm going to become Stardus when I grow up!]

[Seriously hahahahah. I thought Stardus would be cursed whether she turns the lever or not, but she solved it like this. Hahahahahahaha]

[Those who cursed at Stardus, come out right now!!]

[Egostic still caused zero casualties. Is this for real? Egostic is really a legend…]

[I'm asking the association to appoint Egostic as an A-class hero.]

The reactions in the chat window are also very good.

Yeah, this is it! Stardus deserves this!

I'm relieved. Good, good. Even though there were also zero casualties this time, there will be more people who will fall out of me… Yes, I can take this much sacrifice for my Stardus.

Right at the moment I was so moved by myself, I could see Stardus collapsing in the distance. Uh-oh.

I immediately went to Stardus.

Stardus collapsed on the floor.

Covering in dust, she could barely open her eyes, and she was wheezing. She looked like she was about to pass out.

"You… punk…"

Stardus called me in an exhausting voice.

Looking at how she looked like she was about to faint, I felt a little sorry. I made her suffer because she had to, but I feel sorry for making it hard on her like this.

Before she faints, I should at least say something.

I sat on one knee beside her and spoke up.

"Yes, Stardus. Good job. In a way that I could have never imagined. I didn't expect you to save everyone in that way. It's your victory. I'm going to take off now, so get some rest. There will be other heroes coming soon."

As I whispered, I reached out one hand and closed her eyes.

She tried to resist for a while, but as soon as her eyes closed, she seemed to have completely lost her strength as she breathed heavily, but eventually, she fell asleep. Yeah, it must have been hard for her.

I stood up and turned around, then said goodbye to the camera.

"Alright. That was my terrorism for today. Thank you for watching."

Everything seems quiet now, I should pick up the fainted Soobin in the engine room and head home.

After my ending greeting, I turned off the camera. As soon as the broadcast was turned off, the chat ended.

[What was that between the two of them?]

That was the last comment.

And that night, a love scandal between Egostic and Stardus broke out.

Is this really… Korea?

C19: The End Of The World

If you tie people to the rail and just leave the train running, it will hit five people, but if you turn the lever, only the one that was tied on the other track will be hit. So will you turn the lever?

Egostic made a dilemma.

In fact, it's a quite philosophically well-known dilemma.

The so-called "Trolley Dilemma".

If the train keeps running, it hits five people. But if you turn the lever, it only hits one person.

In a utilitarian way, it's right to turn the lever. Since four people can be saved.

But can you really turn it?

It's a sad accident when the train hits five people. In this world, they might consider it as a sad terrorist attack. But if you turn the lever, it's not an accident anymore. It's an accident when five people die, but once the lever is turned, you will be the one  who killed that one person. The one who didn't have to die will die because you turned the lever.

…Well, it's this kind of dilemma.

And I embodied this dilemma in the real world. Stardus had made a brilliant breakthrough by taking action from a situation that cannot be solved in a verbal dilemma.

She did not even think about where to turn the lever and head the train.

She stepped up and stopped the train herself.

Stardus has superpower.

She is different from a man with double abilities like me. She is powerful, and she can fly in the sky at the same time. .They are called superhuman strength and flying ability to be exact.

She also has double abilities, so her abilities are a little flawed like me. Of course, not as much as I am.

For superhuman strength, the one that has this ability only can collapse buildings alone. The same thing for the one who has flying ability only, that person can fly at Mach's speed in the sky. Of course, both are heroes in the U.S.

Stardus isn't at the same level as them. She's powerful but not enough to make a building collapse in one punch, and she cannot fly at a supersonic speed.

…And of course, as the ones who have double abilities, we still have some flaws, but she's much better than I am… Still, it's true that she's a little lacking.

Of course, people with double abilities are pretty rare, and the superhuman strength and flying ability are very compatible so that's why she got graded as class A, but there are at least 2% of disappointment.

But she's the main character of this comic.

The unique characteristic that differs from others is the improvement of her abilities.

The ability that helps her go through hardships and adversity to become stronger.

That's why I arranged an event for her to strengthen her muscles.

Make Stardus Great Again.

Honestly, she wasn't able to stop the running train, but when the actual situation came, she was filled with the desire to save every person.

And her favorability has also improved.

Somehow her popularity, which dropped after confronting me, has risen again because of this chance. Her action of throwing herself like a clamp to block the train has impressed people who watched it on television across the country.

It was good that people started to like Stardus again.

But why did a love scandal break out?

***

I'm watching TV in vain.

After the rebellion, I teleported home and woke up after a good night's sleep on the fatigue recovery capsule.

Seo-eun grabbed my hand and dragged me to watch TV. She sat me on the sofa.

The big title of today's show is shown on TV.

[Egostic – Stardus Love Scandal]

"What the hell is this?"

I shouted as soon as I saw what was on the TV.

But no matter what I said, people on the TV already started saying what they wanted to say.

"Hello, this is the Weekly Entertainment show! These two are the hottest topics these days, right? Villain Egostic, which is the most popular in Korea at the moment! And the rising hero Stardus! Their love scandal is sweeping the Korean entertainment industry these days. Reporter Park, how did it lead to this love scandal?"

An entertainment program on terrestrial TV.

The female anchor asked the question to the male reporter who looked somewhat like a professional.

"Yes, we can see it from Egostic's actions."

Suddenly, the man brought out a panel from below and put it in front of him.

There are stickers on the white panel.

An impressive pink texts that are written in pink at the top, "Egostic ♡ Stardus".

"The first reason is Egositc openly chasing for her love."

He took the white sticker off the panel, I could see letters and pictures which were folded inside.

[1. Egostic's love letter]

The man continued with a serious look on his face. Speaking with such an expression, he was wearing a suit and horn-rimmed glasses, he looked like a CEO reporting the performance at the general shareholders' meeting.

Of course, what came out of his mouth is nothing but a ridiculous rumor.

"Egostic's first step was killing S-class villain Enzodiac and A-class villain Rhino. But that's not the main point. This is what matters."

He pointed to the picture on the panel he was holding.

In the picture, you can see the letters that were written in blood. The letters were written like this.

Death to a worse man than me.

Death to someone weaker than me.

To you, Stardus.

Today's phrase, which the reporter probably does not know, was the result of me, who chose a concept to go with and committed the crime for the first time in this world, rushing without knowing how far I should keep my concept.

Perhaps because it was my first time, I was very motivated. And perhaps because it was my first  murder, I was too drunk on my emotions as I did drug myself a bit before that. I have seen it somewhere before and I thought it was cool so I wrote it down in my blood.

But in that sober state,  I couldn't realize how cheesy it would be.

Now, I'm still adjusting the cheesiness in my concept, but anyway, since I thought it was cool, I wrote it down and things turned out like that. Gosh…

Honestly, at first, I was proud of myself because of the perfect rhyme that I wrote. Of course, I realized how strange it was when Seo-eun burst out laughing as soon as she saw it… Now, it has become my dark past. Every time someone mentions it, I blush so hard. I think I'm a little traumatized because Seo-eun keeps teasing me like, 'Death to someone weaker than me blah blah~'.

Anyway, now that reporter has finally revealed the dark past that I wanted to erase so badly. Looking to my side, Seo-eun is bursting into laughter again. I feel relieved that Soobin is not next to me…

The reporter analyzed my dark past with a very serious expression.

"Now, can you see these words here? It's a message left at the scene himself after Egostic committed his crime. The thing that we should notice is, again, the last line, 'To you, Stardus.'. In fact, from the beginning, Egostic consistently was hitting on Stardus. He eliminated the villains and gave them to Stardus as gifts. He is actually openly chasing after her."

I didn't give them to her as gifts, I was just trying to drag an agro.

What if I worked hard on doing bad things but they assigned some weird hero instead of Stardus? That is why I refer that note to Stardus to drag an agro. Do they know how much Stardus hates vigilantes…?

"The second reason is the terrorist attacks.  Honest, we can barely call Egostic's terrorism as a proper terrorism. Because the results show zero casualties. It's worth nothing in both of his attacks, he only triggered Stardus, and she handled both of them excellently."

The scene of my terrorist attacks came out on the screen. They were showing the footage where  Stardus spoke to the people on the ships and blocked the train by herself. Hmmm, she looks cool.

"And what Egostic said afterward is also very significant. Let's listen to it."

And now my voice is coming out.

That is what I said to her while I was wondering after the ship terrorism was defeated.

*check the previous episodes*

[It was because of you.]

[Everyone suddenly became united after your speech.]

[Okay. Alright. I guess I underestimated you. It was something that no one else could do. You wouldn't just enlighten the public with a single word, right?]

Oh, I said that?

Before my confusion went away, another voice came out.

This time, it was what I told her in the previous train attack.

[Yes, Ms. Stardus. Good job. I did not expect you to save everyone in a way that I could never have imagined. It's your victory.]

The reporter, who was quietly listening to my voice, suddenly jumped out of his seat.

Ignoring the surprised anchor, he began to shout loudly.

"Look at this!!! If this is not love, what is it then?!!! When Mango Stick said that last sentence and closed Stardus' eyes, Stardus fell asleep soundly!!! If they are not dating then how do you describe dating?!!"

He started screaming, tearing his hair out! That crazy guy! Am I really watching a terrestrial broadcast?

"What the hell is this?!!"

I screamed as I picked up the remote control and threw it at the TV.

Seo-eun, who was watching next to me, has been laughing for so long that she can hardly breathe.

The camera suddenly turned to the surprised anchor looking at the reporter then finally switched to commercials.

The caption [Checking The Broadcast] was put on the screen, so I guess it was a broadcasting accident.

Fuck, yeah! Who would call me Mango Stick on a show?

I could only hang my head low and feel frustrated.

No matter how hard I think about it, the Republic of Korea is crazy.

I found out later that the reporter was a member of my passionate fanclub, commonly referred to as 'Mango Union'.

Although he faced a relegation due to the sudden accident, he received a bonus rather than disciplinary action as the show recorded a high rating.

Seriously, the world is coming to an end…

C20: Coincidence

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Shin Haru threw the remote control toward the TV.

Of course, if she put all her strength into throwing it, her new UHD TV could be smashed, so she kept that in mind and threw it as gently as possible.

Of course. BUMP! It hit the wall.

"Haa… Haa…"

She wheezed.

After calming herself down, she sat on the sofa and took some time to think.

How many years has she been a hero under the name of Stardus?

The first time she got her abilities was probably around middle school or high school, so she has been a hero for a pretty long time.

She was determined to be a hero who could throw villains into prisons to get revenge for her late parents.

But even then, she had never imagined this before. Dating a villain?

"Haa…"

Shin Haru sighed and headed to the refrigerator.

She needs something sweet because she is so frustrated.

She naturally took out a cool juice box and drank it, and when she checked the name on the juice box, she frowned.

[Minute Maid Mango]

Mango. Now, mango reminds her of that Egostic brat.

Egostic's supporters call him Mango Stick, right?

Ugh. She felt like her mind was corrupted.

Her favorite thing is mango.

Honestly, she hates mango itself, but she likes mango-flavored things like mango juice, mango frappe, and mango shaved ice.

But now, she can never see mango like how she saw it before.

Every time she sees a mango now, she will think of that Mango Stick.

"My mind… My mind is corrupted…"

She was slightly depressed. Although a person's perception changes from time to time as life goes on, she has never imagined that it would change in this way.

"Haa…"

She decided to get some fresh air out of the window.

She opened the window and put her head out.

A cool spring breeze blows by.

The bright sunlight reflected on her blonde hair, she gave a dreamy performance as if it was twinkling. The men, who casually looked up from the street, dazed at her but she did not notice.

She had a lot on her mind. And the main idea in her thought is definitely that Egostic guy.

Egostic. She thought it was a funny name. Egostic. Doesn't it remind you of a weak old man walking with a stick? Of course, she told that to her close older friend and received a pitiful gaze from her, so she decided to keep that idea for herself from now on.

She was surprised at herself as she thought about how Egoistic would be a better name than Egostic. Why the hell is she considering a villain's name for that guy? She shook her head off the idea.

Still, she couldn't help but feel disturbed whenever she thought of Egostic.

Something that she cannot explain in words.

Complex emotions fill her up, they become a mass of irrepressible thoughts, then rise and disappear in her mind.

And she thought it was weird.

Obviously, when you think of an evil villain, you have to think of hatred and disgust.

But why do these complex emotions come to her mind?

Among many emotions, there certainly were other things that weren't hatred or disgust.

Egostic. He is well-known on the Internet right now.

No, not only is he well-known on the Internet but also in real life.

Even her close friend Chaehyun said she joined the Mango Union last time.

In the chatroom where students from her department gather, people sometimes mention Mango Stick, but they were all talking good about him.

She asked how everyone can be like that after watching the livestream of the train attack.

At first, they covered up for Egostic saying that both attacks caused zero casualties.

Later, when they revealed that all the people who were tied to the rail were those who committed terrible crimes and got off with a slap on the wrist, people blindly began to praise Egostic again.

People joke around about how Stardus didn't have to stop the train.

Honestly, Korean people's enthusiasm for Egostic has already reached the level of fanaticism. For the people who have only eaten sweet potatoes* so far, Egostic, who has been making them feel so refreshing with his actions, is so popular that they even made a catchphrase for him,  "Please, if you are Korean, let's support Egostic". *TN: This phrase refers to frustrating people.

And the love scandal she saw earlier.

"Ugh."

She could feel her face burning up.

The blood letters, his terrorist attacks, and so on, every actions of him so far.

They are all because he likes her?

"What nonsense!"

She shouted in spite of herself.

Why on Earth does he like her?

Because of her face? Yeah, probably that's the reason. There is no other explanation other than that!

As expected, Egostic must also be one of those who are only into her face.

But there is one thing for sure.

She looked down at her hand and clenched her fist.

She definitely strengthened her muscles.

After stopping the train last time, she definitely has gotten stronger.

It's good to be stronger, it's what she has always aimed for.

"I don't know…"

As much as she didn't know why she was confused herself, she let out a sigh.

But one good thing is that her haters disappeared after this incident.

Honestly, she was more concerned than anyone else while pretending not to care about the reaction of the public, so she was quite relieved that the public began to like her again.

Honestly, she dropped her favorability because of Egostic, but also thanks to Egostic, it went up again.

It feels like Egostic is shaking her life.

In fact, it must not be wrong to say so, because she was assigned to deal with Egostic from the superior office.

"Haa…"

As she was feeling upset, her phone rang.

The caller is Kim Chaehyun.

A senior student who she is close with in university.

"Hello?"

[Oh, Haru! Do you want to hang out? The weather is nice.]

"Hang out?"

Hang out.

Come to think of it, she doesn't hang out with her friends a lot.

Studying and working as a hero. There wasn't enough time to do both.

But her friend asked her to hang out.

Hmm.

Usually, she would reject the offer.

She had no time to relax since she had to study and work as a hero at the same time.

At the beginning, she was so busy that she couldn't even sit in the Association's office for too long. Even though she likes it because it's sunny from where she sits.

But she has been worried about Egostic these days.

The suggestion to hang out was quite tempting.

"Oh… Sure! When should we go?"

[Today! What do you think? There is a festival! I have always wanted to go there!]

"Oh, festival sounds good. Today… I do have time! See you later then. But what festival is it?"

[Ice Cream Festival! It sounds fun, right?]

"Uh, yeah."

Was there an ice cream festival in the world? 

She thought to herself.

***

A Seoul where buildings crammed up, cars roamed around, and people busily moved around.

Far away from it, there was our underground base.

Egostic, a villain who terrorizes the whole Korea.

Han Seo-eun, a genius hacker who can destroy Korea's network system with just one finger.

Lee Soobin, an all-rounded assistant who is good at hacking, housework and driving.

This place where all three of us are gathered, is called Ego-base.

Although it's located deep underground, it's a cozy place with LED lights that can replace the sun.

Sometimes, I like resting at home.

Didn't I live too busily these days?

It's not easy for me, who was an ordinary citizen, to act as a villain.

I was a little nervous because thousands of people were watching me on the last broadcast. Every word of mine will be on the news… I mean, they already wrote news about the last time when I accidentally cheered "Yes!" while watching Stardus stop the train. They mostly wrote about our love scandal…

Those trashy reporters.

They are so quick-witted…

Anyway, there's nothing good about dragging an agro too often.

These days, I'm resting at home idly.

What I usually do is play with Seo-eun.

She's a senior in middle school and she doesn't have any friends.

How bored must she be?

Soobin joined us to play either board games or Switch.

Even though she said this was something only kids would play, it was cute to see her having fun together in our living room.

Yeah, kids should play like kids! Looking at the computers too much is not good for them..

Anyway, it's just another day of us staying still and resting.

While watching TV, I was eating the apple that Soobin peeled, and Seo-eun, who was doing something in her room, rushed to me.

Then, she showed me something and asked me to go with her.

"Ice cream festival?"

"Yeah, I told you last time. That's today! We have to go!"

Seo-eun was talking with her sparkling eyes.

Soobin standing next to her also seems to want to go.

Yeah, come to think of it, I might have heard of it.

The 13th International Ice Cream Festival… I have never heard of anything like this in the original comic…

Seo-eun is explaining to me that it's their first time holding it in Korea and there are so many things to see.

I felt a little strange because I had never heard of an ice cream festival in my life.

Seo-eun likes to stay at home the most because she likes staying inside like me, but since she asked me to go with her first, I guess she really wanted to go… Do you really like ice cream that much?

"Alright, let's go! Go and get changed."

I shouted as I stood up.

Well, nothing is going to happen, right?

Who Knows?

Yes, yes. You can't have a villain mc and not have interact with the heroes in their non-villain form, right? That's one of the fun parts of these kinds of stories

C21: At The Festival

"The weather is nice.

At this place, where the warm spring breeze blows by.

The last time I came out to terrorize was already last week.

I haven't been out since and I have been stuck in the house, so it has been a long time since I came out.

On the way to the festival.

Seo-eun and Soobin were walking on the street after a while.

Oh, it has not been a long time for Soobin. She has always been back and forth for grocery shopping.

Anyway, I felt better since I could see the sun after a long time.

Seriously, people sometimes need to sunbathe like this. In the sun, what is that called again?… I heard someone say that it contains vitamin D. So you cannot stay inside for too long.

"Oppa, are you wearing black again?"

Seo-eun is scolding me again.

I have known this since we have lived together for quite a long time, but there is a standard for Seo-eun calling me between 'Hyung' and 'Oppa'.

She usually calls me "Hyung", but she only calls me "Oppa" when she wants to ask for a favor or when she feels good.

…Can't you just call me oppa?

Honestly, I think she will call me oppa if I grab and scold her.

But I certainly don't want to go that far. Because It would make us feel awkward and distant. I will wait until the day she opens her heart. Someday, she will constantly call me oppa for good, right? I'm sure that day will come.

Anyway, I'm happy to hear her calling me oppa because she's in a good mood now. But why am I wearing black again?

I checked my clothes. I'm wearing a black coat. Normally, I would wear it underneath. The coat is covered so no one will see it anyway.

But as a result, I'm wearing all black like when I'm Egostic again. No, I look the best in black.

I decided to tell Seo-eun the truth that she did not know.

"Seo-eun, black is for men."

"What do you mean?"

Seo-eun said it with a smile. Huh, she's not usually this bright. I'm quite surprised since I have been waiting for her to throw away that contemptuous face.

I guess she is really in a good mood now as she hums along the way.

Seo-eun, so you were really into ice cream.

Or is she feeling good because it has been a while since she went out?

Soobin was also smiling happily while covering her mouth as she found how cute Seo-eun was.

Perhaps because of Seo-eun's unique silver hair, people are glancing at her, and Soobin is also a pretty girl, so even if she is just walking on the street, people begin to pay attention to her. What's wrong with them?

FYI, the first time Soobin was on broadcast, she put on a derecognition filter. Of course, the derecognition filter itself is a function that makes people who see them limited to their faces into facial recognition disorders, so it doesn't work for me who already knows how Soobin looks.

It's fascinating now that I think about it. I just have to wear a mask and a filter on all kinds of shows, and then I can confidently walk around with my bare face. Soobin must have the filter on whenever she goes out.

FYI, this derecognition filter is also the crystal of the latest technology. An American genius researcher invented it saying, "Until when do the heroes have to wear weird tight masks?". When they put it on as a decoration, the derecognition filter works on their faces for a certain period of time…

There's one in each office of the Hero Association, and somehow Seo-eun looked at the design and recreated it, so there's another one in our underground base. Thank you, Seo-eunemon*! TN: Seo-eun + Doraemon = Seo-eunemon

If I don't have this filter, I'm doomed… Soobin could not go grocery shopping either.

If Soobin cannot go outside, she has no choice but to order delivery food for three meals. Even though that is what you call a 'homebody'…

"Oh, I can see it!"

Seo-eun shouted in excitement.

Yeah, I can see it, too.

[The 13th International Ice Cream Festival]

At this place, where there's a big banner, it's the sight of an ice cream festival that I had no idea about its existence.

Every street is full of booths with refrigerators. I couldn't help but wonder how much the electricity bill used for this festival would be combined.

Seo-eun is already excited, she is looking around in all directions. And Soobin is also looking around because she is amazed.

"Oh, it's rice ice cream!"

Seo-eun is running towards somewhere. Hey, wait for me!

Soobin and I slowly followed. Seo-eun already bought the ice cream and was holding it.

White ice cream in a cone.

"It tastes good! Do you want to have a bite?"

Seo-eun asked, her eyes sparkling.

Rice ice cream. I have only heard of it, but I have never tried.

"Alright, give me some."

I took the cone that Seo-eun gave me and took a bite.

Hmm. It's delicious.

I thought it would taste like Haetban*, but it tasted similar to vanilla more than I thought. TN: A Korean brand of instant rice.

"Oh, it's edible. Soobin, have some, too."

"What? I-I…"

Soobin's face is turning red as she is flustered. What's wrong with her?

"It's delicious. Aren't you going to try it?"

"Yeah, dig in!"

Soobin's face gradually turned red as Seo-eun repeated aggressively, and eventually she dropped her head.

"Okay. G-Give me some please."

She stuttered and reached out.

Why did she turn into the timid Soobin of the early days again?

Is it because we are forcing her to eat it? Is the nightmare of the first we met coming to life?

"…Ugh… This is… indirect… Am I the only one… think it's weird?"

She muttered something but I couldn't hear her because her voice was so tiny. Then, she closed her eyes and took a bite. Wait, why is she being so serious over eating ice cream?

"Hmm… It's good!"

She took a bite saying it was delicious with her eyes shining. Right? It's more savory than I thought, so it was worth trying.

After taking a bite, the remaining cone went back to Seo-eun's hand, and she finished the rest neatly. She is eating well.

***

So we went around the festival and tasted ice cream for a while. Eating so many of them somehow made me feel like I just spent money like water, but there was no problem because all I have is money.

I could see all sorts of ice cream, perhaps because it was a world-class festival that was held around the world. Basic ice creams such as chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and mint chocolate, to brand ice creams such as 'My dad is an alien', and 'Shooting Star'. And besides those, there are a lot of ice creams that you cannot see anywhere else.

Wasabi flavor, cold noodle flavor, steak flavor, ramen flavor, terrible combination of ice cream flavors. But the steak tasted better than I expected. I guess it somehow tasted like eating grilled meat flavored ice cream? I have no idea what I'm talking about either.

And there were also flavors that should not exist in this world, such as desk flavor, booger flavor, and ear wax flavor. Why are you selling that for money?

…Of course, we played rock-paper-scissors and decided that the loser had to buy the booger flavor. Soobin, who lost with scissors, suddenly changed her expression after her first bite, then she just threw the rest away. Don't eat it, just give it to the trash can.

Right now, I'm eating mango-flavored ice cream. I don't know why I have to eat mango flavor here… Don't you think so, Seo-eun?

When I asked reproachfully, she whispered confidently without being ashamed. What she said after tiptoeing and putting her words in my ears was…

"…You are the leader of Mango Union, so you should eat mango-flavored ice cream!"

"Seo-eun… Honestly, don't you think mango or anything is a bit of a headache now? It's not fun if you eat too much."

"No. It's fun every time I do it. And no matter how much you deny it, your fanclub name is Mango Union."

Seo-eun burst into laughter. Now she finally lives for the fun of teasing me…

Alright, as long as you are happy.

Looking at this and that, I came to the event corner.

This place sells collaborative ice cream such as Frankenstein ice cream, Mickey Mouse flavored ice cream,…

There is an Egostic ice cream over there…

Huh?

Wait, what flavor of ice cream?

"Now, you can only eat it here! Egostic ice cream!"

There was a woman in the booth who started touting.

What the hell.

This is a violation of superpower rights!

"Oppa. Pfft. You also have ice cream. Hahahahaha!"

Seo-eun bursted into laughter. Is it funny to you?

Wait, Soobin also turned her head and laughed, too.

The funniest thing is that people are standing in line only for that one. In front of us, there are a lot of people holding ice cream and taking pictures. Is it for their Instagrams? I feel dizzy…

At the strong request of Seo-eun and Soobin, I eventually lined up and bought my own flavor ice cream. I wonder what it tastes like…

The ice cream itself is a common vanilla with a half mask, which is my trademark, made of chocolate. They even made my eyes and mouth with chocolate… which made me feel so strange. The difference is that there is mango inside.

Fortunately, it was worth eating. Will the person selling it ever know? That Egostic came and ate her Egostic ice cream.

A little further down, there was a game booth. Throwing darts at the balloons. If you get a lot, you will get a prize. But perhaps since it's an ice cream festival, the prize is also ice cream. 10 layers of ice cream? What the.

"Seo-eun, I will show you. I used to be a master of dart throwing. I will get you a 10-layer of ice cream or something."

"Da-in, are you trying to trick me with your telekinesis?"

Stunned by Seo-eun's words, I decided to play the game normally. That is why I don't like quick-witted kids. The booth was designed for two people to play at the same time, and there was no one, so I could play it right away.

"Phew… This heavy but chilly feeling."

I was talking nonsense to Seo-eun with a dart, and someone came to play the game next to me,

Without thinking, I glanced to the side to see who had come.

My brain stopped working.

The silky blonde hair.

The beauty that is prettier than anyone in this world.

It was Stardus, Shin Haru. She came to play the game.

Uh… Why are you here?

C22: The Meeting

"Haru, here! Here!"

In front of the ice cream festival venue.

Shin Haru got off the bus and met her senior.

"Oh, unnie. You already came!"

"I just got here, too! Let's go inside."

"Okay."

The two of them decided to look around the festival together.

Haru looked at her older friend who was chattering with a bright smile.

Chaehyun is one year older than her, but she is short and bright, she looks more like a younger sister.

"Chaehyun, do you want to try this? It's rice-flavored ice cream."

"Alright!"

Seeing her older friend eating ice cream deliciously makes her feel good.

Honestly, she doesn't like ice cream that much, but hanging out with her close friend after a while makes her feel better.

The truth is Shin Haru doesn't have many friends. Ever since she was young, she has been living while building a wall with others because she had to maintain her studying and her hero life. If Chaehyun had not actively approached her, she would have no friends while attending college.

Of course, she has friends as a hero. Shadow Walker and North Sea Ice Girl, who are also A-class heroes, are representative. But they don't contact each other.

Honestly, because Shadow Walker is only active at night, as he keeps a life pattern of sleeping during the day and waking up at night, it's hard to meet him. And the North Sea Ice Girl is always busy covering the bottom of the Korean Peninsula alone. That's why the chatroom where the three of them gather is always silent. Stardus herself is also busy with Egostic…

Holding many thoughts, she walked down the street with her friend.

They certainly caught a lot of attention as they walked by. Kim Chaehyun has a cute appearance, but Shin Haru stood out more since she is tall for a woman and has blonde hair. She also looked cold and chic to others, but sometimes, the sight of her smiling while talking with her friend made a lot of men's hearts pound.

Of course, some of those men were watching while walking with their girlfriends, so these girls unintentionally were the reason for various couples to break up. But they don't seem to know that.

Shin Haru and Kim Chaehyun, who had been walking around, slowly finished eating and walked to the venue.

"Wow! They even have Egostic ice cream over there!"

Her friend asked her to go there with a bright smile.

Even though she came out here to forget about Egostic, Haru's face stiffened as she faced Egostic again. But her friend, who has already joined the Mango Union, does not seem to notice.

The two of them stood in line to buy the ice cream.

Haru let out a sigh and took a picture of her friend who was eating while smiling happily.

And she felt bitter as she looked at her friend. Still, she thought that it was fortunate that her friend had not shown herself swearing at Stardus. Among the Mango Union who support the villain, some of them curse at Stardus… She searched for the comments herself, and eventually, she was shocked as she read them.

Time already flew so much as they took pictures and walked around the rest of the festival.

It has been a while since she spent time with Chaehyun, so it was a valuable time.

Although she still feels disturbed as she thinks about Egostic…

"Let's play that and call it a day before we go home!"

Chaehyun pointed to the booth where they were throwing darts at the balloons.

They said that if anyone got more than a certain number, then they would get a 10-layer ice cream as the prize. What the hell is 10-layer ice cream?

"Sure."

They walked toward the place.

The booth is designed to accommodate two guests at the same time.

The other customer already occupied one side.

At first, she thought that they were a family who was hanging out.

Mom, dad, and their daughter.

Both the mom and dad have black hair, but their daughter's hair is white. Did she dye her hair?

She was curious about the silver-haired girl who she saw for the first time. Looking at them closely, the daughter must be in middle school, but her mom and dad look so young. So perhaps they are not a family. What is their relationship then?

While she was thinking about it, she felt something suspicious. Since when did she become the type who is curious about people like that?

Perhaps because she was amazed by the girl's silver hair… She was the type who only took a quick glance even if a man with green Afro hair walked by. But strangely, this family seems interesting to her.

Especially that black-haired guy. She can somehow feel a sense of frustration from him…

Well, she probably was just thinking too much.

After shaking her head off complicated thoughts, she decided to watch Chaehyun throw darts.

They were getting close to the booth before she knew it, then she called for the staff.

"Here."

***

Fuck.

"Here."

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Give me ten darts, please."

"Alright!"

What's going on?

Why does this happen to me when I'm just here to normally enjoy the festival?

I can feel my hands and feet trembling.

My back was already sweating.

My eyes suddenly shake non-stop.

Looking at the side, Seo-eun and Soobin also looked stiff.

We all know Stardus' real face.

In other words, the current situation is alarming.

I swallowed my saliva.

I have no idea why Stardus is here, but we have to run away immediately.

Stardus' abilities are superhuman strength and flying.

But her superhuman strength is not just pure strength.

To be exact, the power from her body is huge.

Still, it's not like she can get stronger anytime she wants to, but she will go beyond a human's strength and become a superhuman later on.

The development of five senses, such as looking further than others and listening better than others. In other words, the Association, who has no idea about it yet, named this ability as superhuman strength, in fact, it's right to see Stardus as a superhuman.

Not only five senses but also her sixth sense will develop.

Hence, her instinct can sense it when something is strange. It's actually a supernatural feeling.

Of course, compared with the original work's timeline, it's still early. It hasn't been to the point where she can look at me and immediately say, "That brat is Egostic!". But of course, she can still sense something strange now.

The bottom line is, I'm in big trouble.

We have to run.

But I already got the darts.

Wouldn't it look more suspicious if I ran away without playing the darts?

"Yap!"

"Oh, you're good at this!"

"Of course! I'm good at this!"

In the original comic, when she's in her daily life mode but not in a hero mood, I guess that's what she calls it? Anyway, that's her closest senior friend when she lives as an ordinary citizen. She was also a popular character for her bright and cute personality. Of course, the thing that happened to her in the latter part…

"Throw and throw the darts~"

Standing next to her, Chaehyun was throwing the darts like crazy.  I mean, I thought Shin Haru was throwing them for a second because she threw it so well.

"Aren't you going to throw them, sir?"

Looking at my blank expression, the employee asked cautiously.

Oh, right. I should hurry up and throw them

While Haru is still focusing on Chaehyun's dart throwing, I have to throw them quickly.

"Oh, the person next to me was so good so I stared at her without realizing. I'm going to throw now."

Speaking quietly and quickly to the employee, I picked up the darts and started throwing.

"Haha, S-Seo-eun. Look at my dart throwing skills!"

"Uh, yeah. T-Throw it fast"

Seo-eun answered me while trembling. Hey! Act well! How can your voice be shaky like that… But I'm also trembling so I guess we are the same.

I began to throw the darts without thinking. Well, because I was just throwing without thinking so I obviously didn't have any good shots. On the other hand, Shin Haru's side seems to be done. Even though she arrived after us…

"Wow! I got everything!"

"Oh, Chaehyun. How did you do it?"

"Give me the prize! The prize!"

Wait, did she get all ten shots?

The employee told her with a smile that she was the first one to get ten shots today. He told her to wait for a second, and then brought out an ice cream cone from behind. After he brought it out, he scooped the ice cream out of a container in the refrigerator and started putting it on the cone.

Is that the prize, a 10-layer ice cream?

One scoop on the cone, two scoops on the cone, three scoops on the cone, four scoops on the cone, five scoops on the cone, six scoops on the cone,…

What the. How much will he serve?

In the end, he scooped the tenth one and put it up.

Since the ice cream went over the height of the employee, he had to stretch his hand and pile it up.

Finally, the 10-layer ice cream cone.

What the hell is this?

Even when he holds the cone near his waist, the end of the ice cream still goes over his head. That seems to be at least one-meter long.

I had no choice but to peek at it while throwing the darts.

God, what is that!

It's so tall as if it's about to fall.

The employee is also standing while sticking his hand out as if he was playing some kind of balance game. What is he doing…?

"Oh, my. This is harder than I thought, ma'am. Please be careful when you eat it."

"O-Okay!"

"Unnie… Should I hold it for you?"

"No! I won it myself, so I have to hold it. I can do it."

Kim Chaehyun claimed it like that but barely accepted the cone from the employee.

"Uh…"

The ice cream tower is already shaking dangerously above her.

Well, I think something terrible will happen in a little while.

I also finished throwing all the darts. It seems like I got four balloons. Of course, I couldn't get any prizes.

"Oh, what a shame. We will get going now."

I was about to turn around and quickly escape. We have to run away.

Suddenly, I can hear Kim Chaehyun screaming next to me.

"Uh, uh…. No! No!!!"

When I turned to look, the 10-layer ice cream couldn't grab its center and tilted. Eventually, it fell to the side.

I mean, to my side, as I was going to the closer side while passing by her to get out of there.

What the hell. Fuck, why is this happening to me.
