by fnovelpiaAfter hearing unexpected news.
I came face to face with my office computer that had been away for two weeks.
As soon as I turned on the computer, the first thing I checked was the villain list that the Hero Nation updated daily.
“Um… … .”
I looked at the list displayed on the monitor and glanced at the parts that had changed.
Naturally, all six high-ranking villains of the Supernatural Ability Research Society had red horizontal lines drawn on them.
Since all the key executives were killed by Ruina, the chances of these guys making a comeback in the future are close to zero.
Next up is the list of new villains.
Usually, when someone is designated as a villain, the committee identifies their criminal record, abilities, etc., gives them a codename, and notifies us.
But now, the new villains’ codenames were all written in numbers.
For example, the C-class villain designated for the first time this month.
This guy had a dry code name of C105.
“Ah, that’s it? Did you see the news too?”
Even though I didn’t specifically ask, Kyungtae, sitting next to me, stuck his head out from behind the partition and opened his mouth.
“News?”
“The committee members got terrorized.”
“Ahh.”
That’s also what my girlfriend did.
To be exact, it was emphasized by Ruina that the explosion was done by Team Leader Jang Se-hee.
“That’s why it’s called that.”
“I guess so.”
Again, I think the villains’ codenames are announced by the committee.
But maybe it’s because they gave us names that sound more plausible than we thought.
Just like Ruina, the villains have a pretty good sense of naming, to the point where they use codenames instead of their real names.
But the very top of that committee literally blew their minds, so right now they’re just focused on cleaning up the mess that happened to them, Codename and Nabal.
“Still, they were cheap.”
“What did you just say?”
“I guess it’s because I’ve been through something with a villain. I just thought the atmosphere was a bit ominous these days.”
“That’s true. The villain crime rate skyrocketed right around the time Ruina disappeared, but it plummeted as soon as she reappeared. In fact, isn’t Ruina a villain specialist and George a dark hero?”
“Haha… … .”
There were quite a few people in the world who thought like Gyeongtae said.
In fact, there was even a rumor going around that the reason the city was indiscriminately destroyed was to wipe out the villain group that was spread out like a spider web within it.
“… … … … .”
And now it seems as if I am deliberately keeping silent.
Surprisingly, the story was somewhat true.
Information from the underworld that Team Leader Lee Tae-seok and Ruina herself told me directly.
Most of the deaths caused by Ruina are of the same villains.
That is to say, in order to catch the villain, you had to make some sacrifices.
Of course, that ‘somewhat’ part is a huge figure, reaching about 5 trillion won in damages…
“I guess that’s why. I heard that the heroes are starting to have mixed opinions about Ruina.”
“Mood?”
“I heard from Si-eun that even the heroes have different opinions. In the case of Masquerade, they are taking a hard-line stance of thinking about it after we beat them up.”
“That hero is actually stranger because he isn’t a hardliner.”
Masked Hero, Masquerade of the Holy Light.
A human of unknown identity who is obsessed with Ruina to the point that she considers him a friend.
I wonder if the sight of him attacking Ruina right away as soon as he met her left a strong impression on everyone.
He was a top tier hero, currently ranked 2nd in the unofficial rankings.
Well, it’s impossible for someone who so actively attacks a villain who destroys everything in the world as soon as they touch him to be unpopular.
“But you really call Sieun’s name without hesitation. It’s clear that you’re dating.”
“Ah. Hehehe… … .”
At my suggestion, Kyungtae melted into me and let out a sound like he was dancing like Louis.
Use it.
I really didn’t want to see a man so embarrassed.

Lunch at work after two weeks.
Even though it was a little chilly, I went up to the Sky Garden on purpose to feel the old atmosphere.
“Hehehehe… … .”
And next to me is Kyungtae, who has been smiling like that the whole time.
On the boy’s lap was a pretty, handmade lunch box.
“Oh my. You’re the lunch box.”
“Haha. This is it. Si-eun gave it to me last night.”
“Last night!?”
Then those side dishes.
You’re saying it’s been maturing in the fridge for over half a day?
“No… . Ha… … .”
I was about to say something, but then I closed my mouth.
A man and a woman in love have nothing to be afraid of.
Wasn’t it the same for me?
But what would it be like to finally eat a refrigerated lunchbox?
“But you cooked rice in the morning. Did you warm up the side dishes in the microwave before you brought them?”
“Ah, yes… … .”
Did you read my mind already?
Kyungtae added an additional explanation while putting side dishes in his mouth with a cheerful expression.
“By the way, how are you and Yuri?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’ve been taking care of me for two weeks. Has there been any progress? ”
“Is it even possible to call it progress──.”
While I was talking.
Suddenly, the lustful incident that had occurred at the hospital came to mind.
“Um… … .”
“I thought he had become more manly than before he was admitted. Did this kid really take the steps of an adult?”
It’s as if you read the memories hidden in my expression.
Kyungtae opened his eyes wide and glared at me.
“No, what’s wrong? You have a girlfriend now, right? How long are you going to pretend to be single?”
“Huh, huh?”
Kyungtae, who was suddenly attacked, jumped back in surprise.
And then her face turned bright red again.
So they sang a song like that.
This guy got really shy when he actually got a girlfriend.
“That, is that okay with you?”
This guy. He ended up changing the subject.
This time, what Kyungtae looked at was the lunch I was holding in my hand.
It was a round cream bun filled with yuzu cream.
“This is delicious, but why?”
“No, honey. Is that bread enough for lunch? What about rice?”
“Specifically?”
“You should ask Yuri-ssi for something too. Maybe a lunch box.”
“It would be nice if you did it… … .”
This is Ruinagin, who started learning how to hold a sword yesterday.
You still can’t cook anything without me.
Even if it was made, it was obvious that it would take a lot of time as it would require a lot of careful consideration.
“Yuri can’t cook, you know? When she came here, she showed up with a convenience store lunch box.”
“Ah. Now that I think about it, that’s what happened. At that time, Si-eun and I were someone.”
My words brought back old memories.
Kyungtae nodded in agreement.
“Come to think of it, that was exactly when the four of us first met.”
“That’s right. It’s already been a month.”
“Oh, okay, okay. That’s good timing. Shall we get together to celebrate your discharge?”
Kyungtae spoke again while eating his side dishes deliciously.
“What if we gather?”
“Of course, you and me. Each of our girlfriends.”
“Um… … .”
“Ah… . Sorry. Was it trauma?”
“Huh? No, no. I don’t really care. That part.”
What Kyungtae is talking about is probably when I was attacked by a villain.
At that time, four people were gathered together and were suddenly attacked.
But as I told Kyungtae, it was a past I didn’t really care about.
What I’m concerned about now is the bland relationships between women.
Putting aside the fact that they are both villains and heroes.
Ruina used to be very wary of Si-eun, who was my classmate in the past.
Well, now that Si-eun has a partner, she won’t be so clingy to me anymore…
I really wonder if it’ll be okay.
“I don’t really care. I’m not sure if Blaze has the time.”
“Just wait a minute. Let me ask you something.”
Kyungtae immediately picked up his cell phone and tapped his thumb.
And after about 3 minutes.
Boooow!!
The cell phone vibrated.
My phone vibrates.
“Huh?”
“I told you that you were discharged from the hospital and went back to work.”
“That, is that so.”
When I glanced down at the screen, there was a long pile of rice cakes on it.
syncopation.
To summarize… … .
It’s true that I’m dating Kyungtae.
It’s awkward to meet Ruina, but I’ll definitely go when the time is set.
The content was roughly like this.
“What did Si-eun say?”
“Please set a time on our side. And make sure that it’s okay for you to date me.”
“Ehehehe… … .”
Kyungtae rubs the back of his head and twists his body.
Child. Is that really so good?
It was when I was about to put the yuzu cream bun in my mouth again.
“Huh?”
Boohoo. The phone rings again.
Is there anything Si-eun hasn’t said yet?
“Huh?”
But the next text wasn’t from Si-eun.
“Restrict caller ID… ….”
Characters that look like hard stone Buddhas.
Although it wasn’t indicated who sent it, it was clear who sent it.
“Team Leader Lee Tae-seok?”
Something that Ruina and I are very familiar with.
It was definitely the leader of the Strategic Crisis Response Team who had returned.
