I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

Chapter 36

“Let’s go!”

Riding the SUV we bought before, we left the house.

The destination is Busan.

Seo-eun said she had never seen the sea, so she decided to take this opportunity to see it.

“Da-in, can’t we just take the KTX*?” *TN: Korean Express Train

Seo-eun in the back seat grumbled.

“Seo-eun, can you see the bag in the trunk? That’s all guns and stuff, how can we get on a train with that?”

“I’m so… How long are we going to be there? Why did you pack that much for 3 days and 2 nights?”

Seo-eun turned her head and was looking at the things on the bag behind her.

I’m driving, and she’s doing something dangerous.

“Da-in, what is this mask? It’s my first time seeing it

Seo-eun took the mask out of the bag.

It’s not a mask that covers only half of my face, but a mask that covers the entire face.

“You don’t know what’s going to happen there. Just in case, I will take something to cover my face.”

Soobin, who was in the passenger seat next to me, asked curiously.

“Didn’t you come wearing derecognition device?””

“Oh, I didn’t. Seo Eun and I haven’t been exposed to the public yet.”

“Oh…”

Soobin said softly as the end of her sentence.

Wait, now that I think about it, Soobin is the only one who came here to travel with a derecognition device.

And I was the one who hit Soobin’s face live.

Hmm.

Let’s stop talking about this. I’m sorry.

In the back, only Seo-eun was playing looking at her phone without thinking. I hope she doesn’t have any thoughts.

So we went to Busan.

It’s exhausting to drive for 5 hours.

***

“It’s the sea!”

We came to Haeundae.

I’m glad that Seo Eun likes it.

The child ran and played, and I laid out a mat and sat under the parasol.

It’s hard to even stand. I need to sit down.

Soobin, who sat next to me, bought two drinks and gave me one.

It’s nice that the sun is bright and there aren’t many people on the beach.

This is why you have to travel on weekdays.

Soobin sitting next to me took a sip of the drink with a straw and told me, sweeping her hair behind her ears.

“It’s also… been a while since I last saw the beach since I was young.”

“It’s been a while since I saw it, too.”

It’s the first time I’ve seen it since I fell into this world.

Of course, it’s the sea. It’s just the sea, but… Still, there’s something bothering me inside.

In this world.

I eliminated four villains.

I committed three terrorist acts.

I have been so busy.

Being packed is good, but it’s also necessary to take a good rest like this sometimes.

“…I’m always grateful to you, Da-in.”

I was looking at the sea… What should I call it? “Sea blanking?” “Water blanking?”

Soobin spoke quietly from the side.

“Grateful? For what?”

“It’s just… everything. Thank you for saving me without killing me in the beginning. I’m thankful that you treat me well…”

“Ha ha, what are you talking about? There are more things that I’m thankful for. You always take care of the house and even support Seo-eun.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

Soobin smiled quietly.

What’s up with this atmosphere?

Is this some kind of flag this?

In the comic, the person who said this always dies or betrays in the next episode.

I’m scared!

Before I could ask why, Seo-eun came back from running alone to look at the sea.

“You’re back already? Did you see it all?

“Yeah, it’s not that different from the sea I saw in the game. It just feels familiar.”

Oh, my God.

She’s feeling familiar because of the sea that she saw from the game.

Is this… Is it the net function or bad influence of the game?

I don’t know, but I think I should adjust her frequency of playing games once we go back.

“But stepping barefoot on the beach was refreshing. About 3 out of 5 stars?”

…I have never seen a kid who scores stars at a beach.

But it’s even salty! She should give it 4 points!

“Shall we grab something to eat then?”

Let’s do that.

***

We came to a Gukbap* restaurant. *TN: Hot soup with rice

Busan is famous for Gukbap.

“Oppa, it says to pour the radish kimchi water into the gukbap. Is that true?”

“Well, if you want to eat like that then eat it like that.”

I don’t like it.

Seo-eun poured radish kimchi water into the gukbap. Why would people do that?

“It tastes fine.”

Surprisingly, Seo-eun responded that it tasted fine.

Is that so? Is it because of the difference in taste?

Well, it’s nice to see her eat well.

Rather than always eating home-cooked meals at home, you should sometimes go eat out while blowing out the hot earthen pot like this.

There’s a lot of meat in gukbap here, too. Good.

News was coming out on the TV on the wall of the Gukbap restaurant.

[The association issued a statement condemning A-class villain Egostick, saying, “We are doing our best to catch him.” However, the investigation is disrupted by the fact that the criminal can teleport and is good at manipulating the network. Netizens say, “Egostick is scary.”” Did you see Stardus vs. Egostick fight? It’s a legend.”, and many more kinds of reactions.]

It happened to be talking about me. But the news seems a bit strange…

When I was watching my face on the screen while munching on radish kimchi, Seo-eun, who was eating in front of me, asked me.

“Why did you name yourself Egostick?”

For a moment, the radish kimchi almost came out of my nose.

Why is she talking in loud voice in such crowded place about that?

I looked at the people around me in a hurry, luckily, everyone seemed not to be very interested in this.

When I looked at Seo-eun with a very embarrassed face, she looked at what I was looking at then said, “Ah!” and took something out of her pocket.

“Don’t worry. Last time, when you were grumbling too much, so I made a noise canceling device and brought it with me.”

And then on the desk, it was something that looked like a small walkie-

“What is this?”

I asked carefully, Seo-eun shrugged her shoulders and said,

“It makes what we say among ourselves will be silent to others.”

“Oh? When did you make this again?”

“Last time, you told me not to talk about identity in a crowded place, so I looked through the design at home and it came out. HanEun Group has everything.”

“It’s fascinating.”

“So, Da-in, why did you name yourself Egostic?”

Seo-eun asked me with a mischievous smile. Didn’t she ask this before?

“It’s derived from egoistic, which means selfish. Doesn’t it remind you of that?”

“No, I can only think of a stick… But why did you take out in the middle?”

“Why did I take it out? I just… took it out.”

Stardust reduced her name to Stardus.

So what’s the point of not reducing the Egoistic to the Egostic.

“Stardus again… Honestly, I don’t know why Stardus took out the back. Why didn’t you just go with ‘Egois’ without the tic? This is much better.”

“I think I could have made it better if I were with you when you were deciding your name, I feel sorry for you”

Soobin, who was quietly eating next to us, also spoke up.

“…If you keep doing this, I will change my name to Mango Stick. ‘Welcome to Mango Stick’s Mango Show in front of the camera during the next terrorist attack.’ I’m going to be like this.”

“I think that’s cute. I agree!”

My heart was broken when Seo-eun said with a bright smile.

I’m just kidding… I’m just kidding…

The news on TV ended my story and was reporting on the following.

[Breaking news. A-class hero Shadow Walker currently passed out. The association said, ‘The cause is the use of too much ability during the day for special activities,’ and said they would complete the treatment as soon as possible. Netizens responded by saying, “I’m afraid of the association’s incompetence,” “Isn’t it a mischievous disease?” and “The president of the association should take responsibility for the security vacuum and resign.”]

“No, why did he suddenly pass out?”

I watched TV in a hurry. Don’t tell me that’s what made Stardus go back and forth to Jeju Island? I feel so sorry for him if it’s because of that.

[Stardus’ fan cafe, “Stardust Team” membership is increasing rapidly. The cafe, which was founded after the last airplane incident, quickly surpassed 100,000 members in just a few days. It’s very unusual for a hero’s fan cafe to be opened in Korea.]

“Oh!”

I focused on TV instead of eating.

Yeah, I believed you! As expected, my rolling like a dog works!

“…You like it more than when you opened the fan cafe.” Oh, my. People might think you’re Stardus’ dad.”

Seo-eun, who was eating in front of me, grumbled at me. Well, did I like it too much?

[Breaking news. Experts are causing a stir by announcing the results of Egostic’s last plane crash that “It doesn’t look like a bomb exploded.” Experts say the aircraft is currently sunk in the sea and cannot be accurately identified, but based on the last photograph taken, no trace of the explosion can be identified. We’re lifting the sunken plane and as soon as the results come out…]

“How did you know that?”

The world is killing me.

“Oppa, just give up now. I heard that #1 on the real-time trend is ‘#MangoStick.’”

Seo-eun showed me the terrible truth on her phone.

No, this can’t be real.

“No, wait. Whether it’s a bomb or not, I did crash it, but there are people left covering me?”

“These people say that you must have drawn a big picture. In the end, they claim that there was no civilian damage this time. Mangodan’s support is amazing.”

“No, does that make sense? I did something”

“It’s weird for me, too. Did they all take medicine? That’s abnormal support Look at this.”

“What is it?”

I got a phone from Seo-eun.

[Mango stick <— If you believed in me, it’s super recommended. Hahahaha]

I will go firstLOL

[Recommendation] 1355. [Not recommended] 32

[Really? There’s no one who didn’t believe it, right?]

[Why didn’t he use the bomb? He did it to save everyone. Hahaha]

[I agree with the big picture. Hahaha]

“Seoeun… Where the hell did you get these comments.”

“Da-in, look at this. It was posted on my school community.”

“What’s that?”

[Title] The interview for the passengers on the plane is up!

How was it?

(Passenger 1) It was scary. I was scared, but when I thought about it after getting off, it was still a meaningful experience. It reminded me of the importance of life. It feels like I’m on a scary roller coaster.

(Passenger 2) I think it was kind of fun. I was dizzy when I fell at the end. But I arrived in Jeju Island normally, so I had fun and came back home.

Roller hahahaha. Coaster hahahaha.

[Anonymous 1] All the passengers are brave.

[Anonymous 2] Korea, the land of manly men

[Anonymous 3] You can’t get scared on the roller coaster hahaha.

[Anonymous 4] Roller coaster! Fuck hahahaha

===

My emotion was plain.

“The world is going crazy.”

It’s the end of the world.

After we finished eating, we went around looking around.

I went to the international market and visited other famous restaurants.
