CH 79

After the Electra debut and the proclamation of the creation of the Villain Union, I decided to rest for a while again.

The advantage of the job is that you can take a few weeks off on your own.

Well, I’m actually just waiting for the main event of the original.

I was having such peaceful days anyway.

“……I can’t watch entertainment news these days.”

A leisurely day

When I was playing a game on TV in the living room with Seo-eun, I heard Choi Sehee’s voice from behind.

“Why can’t you see it?”

“Haa. Because this comes out every time you go in?”

She sits on the sofa and shows me her cell phone.

On the screen she showed, there was a very dreary article called [Egostic X Electra’s presenceful chemistry collection.zip

“Da-in! In front of you!”

“Oh? Argh!”

FYI, I died in the game while looking at them.

“It’s a manga game.”

If you turn your eyes a little, it’s game over. What is gameover?

“Haa… What did you see? Show me, too.”

While Seo-eun was looking at Choi Sehee’s phone, I spoke to Choi Sehee.

“Don’t worry too much. People who don’t know well are going to turn it around anyway.”

“No… Still, it’s on the main page, don’t you care?”

Choi Sehee looked down at me with a complex face.

Me?

Come to think of it, I was really surprised when I first heard about my dating scandal with Stardus. I even thought about blowing up the broadcasting station.

But, well, right now.

“You get used to it if you keep watching it.”

“…that’s very helpful.”

When I was avoiding Choi Sehee’s gaze looking at me awkwardly, Seo-eun next to me said slightly.

“No. I was the one who stayed next to you the longest in the first place, but why is Sehee the only one who knows?”

“Because you were in the back and Choi Sehee was standing in front of the camera with me.”

“Urg. Don’t even bring up the camera. Do you know how embarrassed I was to act in front of them? I’m Electra! I almost bit my tongue when I said this.”

“…But I think you’ve been enjoying it since mid-term, too”

“Me? Ha! That’s ridiculous.”

She closed her mouth and turned her head with a slightly red face, as if she had been stabbed by my sharp words.

And Seo-eun murmured behind ‘Me too… I want to do terrorism…’

Well.

It’s still a peaceful day.

But our Egosquad. No. Should I say Egostream now? Our Egostream members don’t just play. When we work, we do things for real.

Seo-eun and Soobin are busy making Egostream homepages. What kind of macro are you going to use? I’m not sure what it means.

Ha-yul and Cha-yoon are studying hard. Cha-yoon especially expressed his ambition to help me by joining the association when he grew up. I’m so proud of him.

Choi Sehee is still training to control her ability

I

I was now standing in the middle of downtown Seoul.

A street lined with old buildings that can be seen anywhere in Seoul.

I entered a small red brick building among them.

Inside a shabby building that’s about to collapse.

Coming inside, I went straight down the stairs to the basement.

A dark and shabby underground.

It was a normal-looking underground road.

The difference is.

No matter how much you go down, the stairs are endless?

“…Okay.”

I muttered like that for no reason.

It should be here, right?

I was going down the stairs as if there was no problem. I hit the side wall with my foot by surprise.

“Come here!!!”

At the same time, walls that are torn down like sand.

And beyond that wall, there was a long corridor.

I came to the right place.

The antique stone corridor, which contrasts with the shabby building before, is subtly covered by green candles. I walked confidently in this place, where a little moss caught in it, creating a more mysterious atmosphere. No, it’s been ages but why are they still using candles? If I could, I’d like to put all the LEDs on. We need to industrialize it.

As I walked with such wild thoughts, all of a sudden, the end of the corridor.

And in front of it, there was a black door.

It was an antique obsidian door full of fine decorations, but that’s none of my business. Whether it’s a wooden door, an obsidian door, or an automatic door, everything made to open is the same. So I opened the door confidently.

When I opened the door, what I saw was a slightly spacious room that shone softly with green candles.

Passing through one frame or another and a pot of something seething, I strode into a place with a light green curtain.

From black hats to black shoes to capes. Before I know it, I’m already in my Ego suit. Actually, I think she’ll see through me pretty well, just in case.

What I can see as I walk through the veil is a small round table. And on top of that, the crystal ball.

And there was a woman, facing me.

“Hello.”

She nodded quietly as I greeted her.

Covering her face with a dark green robe to the tip of her head, she was a villain, a vine witch, who was immediately given an S-class as soon as her identity was revealed to the association.

When I sat down, she finally spoke up.

“It’s my first time seeing you. So, what brings you here?”

“Yes. I just want to make a request.”

Yeah. The reason I found her is to make a request.

I took out two leather notebooks that I had packed in advance.

One is my diary, and the other is a note I haven’t written yet.

“Please spell these two with a seal.”

“When is the deadline?”

“Both until I die.”

I said that and took something else out of my arms.

Dozens of colorful jewels in a small box.

When I put the box on the table, she nodded and took a note from me.

Then, she starts singing in a low voice.

When she put her hands on my notebook and murmured, both books began to glow light green.

After such a short period of time, the light went out.

Soon after, she handed me two notes as if it was done.

When I received both books again and looked at them, I saw a magical pattern of light green that had never been on the outside.

“…Now, no one but the owner will be able to open or peek at the contents in a compulsory way.”

“Thank you, witch.”

I stood up thanking her..

Since I got my things done, I should go.

After that, I walked the veil again and went outside. I was walking to the door,but then heard a sudden word from behind.

“…You’re on a tough road.”

Her voice, passing by, gave me a slight pause.

At her words, as if they were penetrating my everything. My footsteps slow down naturally.

As expected, she recognizes it at once.

How should I answer?

…Okay.

“…Because it’s a path that someone has to walk on.”

“Cheer up.”

She briefly supports my answer.

Did the vine witch ever say that in the original? I think it’s the first time someone has ever said something to cheer up on me like that.

I quietly closed the door and walked in the hallway.

It’s a tough road.

I grinned at the words.

If it wasn’t hard, I didn’t even start in the first place.

***

Back home, I looked at the two open notes.

One is my diary. Now, as Choi Sehee also lives with us now, as the chance that I’ll get caught gets bigger, I already got it sealed. My goal and everything is written here, so I’m in big trouble if I get caught.

And the other one is the new notebook I bought.

I’m planning to fill in the contents as well. I’ll do this later.

After roughly finishing my work, I went into the Stardus fan cafe.

The largest hero fan cafe in Korea that I made myself. Stardust Union,  Stardus fan cafe.

When I see the cafe growing day by day, I feel proud for no reason.

….The flaw is that compared to my fan cafe Mango Union, the number of people is less than half. Does it make sense that a villain has a bigger fan cafe than a hero? I feel sorry for those who can’t see the charm of Stardus.

I complained then went to manage the cafe.

Stardus picture… Save. Stardus praising… All right. Stardus, love scandal… Delete. Stardus and Egostic go well together? Hmm. Let’s leave this alone.

As I was managing one by one, I paused a little when I saw the title of one post.

[I heard from an acquaintance of the association that there was Egostic in the basement]

It was deleted immediately and blocked the author of the post.

You knew too much.

Having done so, I thought again about the HanEun Group. The enemies of Seo-eun and Soobin, a conglomerate that was conducting secret experiments, and Kim Sun-woo and those researchers who ran away.

Looking at the calendar… Yeah, it’ll be soon.

“It’s finally over.”

Okay.

This time, it is time to completely destroy the HanEun Group, the middle boss of the original and the living impoverished maker.

I got up from my seat.

From now on, I’m going to get ready for the broadcast, and I’m going to make plans.

And this time, let’s call out Stardus.

“….”

It’s not because I recently saw on my fan cafe that Egostic seems to have abandoned Stardus.

Never.
