by fnovelpiaRuina was in a bad mood even before she left the room.
Just trudging.
A person who wanders aimlessly around the building.
The duration of Sunghoon’s nullification ability must have ended a long time ago.
Ruina, who had no intention of wandering any further, rested her arms on the railing of a nearby hallway and stared blankly at the small, nicely decorated garden.
At that time.
Ruina felt something sinister approaching from behind her, and instinctively kicked it away.
It was something I did without thinking because I was already feeling anxious.
If it had ended there, I would have run away quickly.
“… … … … .”
“… … … … .”
An unidentified man falls out after shattering the tempered glass.
And a bipedal dragon wearing thin, summer clothes, looking back and forth between the man and Ruina.
“Did the teacher… … . do it?”
The Dragon Hero, Draconius, opened his mouth with difficulty.
Ruina’s head was still so blocked up that she didn’t even realize that she was lifting her legs.
Soon, Ruina lowered her legs and quickly turned her back.
“… … … … No.”
“Isn’t that too blatant to say no!?”
“Cheet.”
He is a uselessly honest and upright hero.
I can’t fool you with lies full of holes.
While Ruina clicked her tongue slightly.
Draconius came quickly, stomping forward, and knelt before the man sprawled in the garden.
“Huh? This guy is the voyeur I caught last time… … .”
Draconius opened his eyes wide as he took off the hat of the man who had been knocked unconscious with a single kick.
“Private filming?”
“Yes. It was because of this man that the mixed bathhouse was closed.”
“So that’s it… … ?”
Ruina was just sitting here blankly, having been left with the butterfly effect of not being able to use the mixed bathhouse with Seonghoon.
But to think that I would ever get revenge on the guy who caused this.
A carefree smile spread across Ruina’s face for a moment.
“Fortunately, it seems like he wasn’t seriously hurt… … .”
Then, Draconius’ sharp gaze turned to Ruina again.
Ruina’s smile, which had been blooming faintly, withered away again.
“Still, I think I need to talk to the teacher a little bit.”
“What, what are you talking about?”
“Let me tell you in advance, I don’t really discriminate between men and women.”
Draconius got up quietly and approached Ruina with a thud.
Ruina was trying hard not to look at him.
“But there is a clear difference in strength between men and women that comes from their physique.”
“What do you want to tell me?”
“How could you knock out a healthy, adult male with one kick?”
Hero’s fastball.
Ruina bit her lower lip at the all too honest question.
Of course, it was impossible to reveal herself as the villain Ruina.
If I fight the hero here, everything I’ve built up so far will go down the drain.
But I couldn’t just hold him back and say I didn’t do it till the end.
Because Draconius was already convinced that Ruina had roundhouse kicked the villain.
Of course, I couldn’t tell an obvious lie that it was because of my physical enhancement abilities.
In an age of supernatural powers, it was illegal for an unqualified civilian to use their powers without permission.
It was a situation where I was literally pushed to the edge.
Ruina rolled her eyes, which were lowered to the ground, in all directions, while also moving her head diligently.
“Teacher?”
“That guy tried to take a picture of me. That guy, you just said he’s a spy photographer, right?”
If you waste time, that alone will be enough to make you suspicious.
Ruina quickly came up with a plausible answer based on the energy she felt and Draconius’s words.
Draconius gently stroked his long, protruding chin with his large hand.
“Hmm… … . Surely, there’s no way that villain would just pass by a beautiful woman like you, teacher.”
“That, right?”
“But that doesn’t answer the question I asked.”
“… … … … .”
“If you used your power to commit violence, even if you are the owner of an S-class, you cannot just let it go as a hero.”
For Ruina, there was nowhere left to run.
I couldn’t escape, not just figuratively, but literally.
Perhaps because of the sound of glass breaking, people’s voices could be heard from the end of the hallway.
In that situation.
Draconius’ sharp gaze was increasingly squeezing Ruina.
So, you should just stop getting so angry without thinking about it, right?
You almost got in big trouble last time you did this too. You really are an idiot.
If you want to live with me forever, just stay home and be quiet.
All sorts of negative thoughts were poking at Ruina’s mind.
Before she knew it, Ruina was gritting her teeth.
Because with his own limited thinking, he couldn’t come up with any way to overcome this situation.
In the end, what she chose to do was to slowly open her clenched fist into a hook shape.
In the current situation, it could be resolved by simply eliminating one hero in front of you.
Even though I won’t be able to see my lover again, I’ll be able to prevent Sunghoon from getting involved like last time.
“I’m sorry, honey… … .”
It was at that moment that Ruina was muttering very quietly and was about to reach out to Draconius.
“Yuri!!”
A voice came out loud.
Ruina and Draconius both turned their heads towards the direction where the voice came from.
“Okay, honey… … !”
Seonghun was there, standing awkwardly, supported by Sehee.
Ruina ran straight to him, not caring about the hero who doubted her.
“Are you okay!? Can I get up already!?”
“Haha… . As you can see. Sorry for worrying you.”
Seong-Hoon quickly wiped away the sparkling tears that were forming in Ruina’s eyes.
Then he locked eyes with Draconius, who was blankly staring at the two.
“Sorry for keeping it a secret, Draconius.”
“You said you hid it?”
In response to Draconius’ question, Seonghun fumbled around in his pants pocket and took something out.
“My name is Hero Handler. And this is my girlfriend and sidekick.”
“Sidekick… ….”
What Seong-Hoon took out was a hero certificate.
And the sidekick he was talking about.
It was a word meaning someone with the ability to assist a hero, but who is not yet qualified to be a hero.
“If this is the case, I think we can take into account the issues Draconius raised to some extent.”
“… … That’s right. Sidekicks who are in the same location as the hero in charge are allowed to use limited abilities. ”
At Seonghun’s point, Draconius’s eyes, which had been sharp until then, began to soften.
“And the person lying there is the villain who filmed the secret scene? My girlfriend was a victim who was almost filmed by the villain before she became a sidekick. I hope you understand that part as well.”
“Hmm… … . If you say so, then I have nothing more to say.”
Draconius then nodded as he had done several times.
“I’m sorry, teachers. Because of my stubbornness, I almost caused trouble for the good people I met through my car connection.”
“No, no. It’s because we were hiding the fact that we are heroes that things turned out like this.”
“By the way, you don’t look well. Are you okay?”
“Ah, this is a little dizzy, don’t worry about it.”
Seong-Hoon slowly moved away from Se-Hee and smiled awkwardly.
Fortunately, Draconius’s suspicions were now completely dispelled.
* * *
The room I came back to.
“I almost got into trouble while I was down for a moment.”
“Hipp… … . Black… … .”
While I was sitting on the bed and taking a deep breath.
Ruina, who followed him back into the room, was sobbing and shaking her shoulders.
“Sorry… . I’m sorry… … . Things almost got worse because of me again… … .”
“Team Leader Jang Se-hee. Could you please leave the seat?”
“Yes. Leave the cleanup to us.”
I responded to Team Leader Jang Se-hee’s words with a gentle smile.
After she left without a sound.
I opened my arms wide towards Ruina.
“Ruina. Come here?”
“But I… ….”
“Yetcha.”
If you don’t come, I’ll just go.
I got up from the bed and hugged Ruina tightly, who was sobbing and curled up in a ball.
“It’s okay. It’s really okay.”
“Hipp… … . Are you really okay… … ?”
“I told you, I’d do anything for you. Dizziness doesn’t matter.”
“Pretend… … .”
“Ha, haha. Did I just get caught?”
To be honest, I still had a slight headache.
Still, everything I said to Ruina was true.
While lying in bed, I slowly recovered.
Team Leader Jang Se-hee received an emergency radio transmission from the black-suited men hiding here and there in the hot spring.
The fact is that Draconius and Ruina are in a standoff due to an unexpected incident.
At that moment, I felt dizzy and everything, so I ran out of the room to save her.
If I had been just a little bit later, something irreversible could have definitely happened.
That must be why Ruina is sobbing sadly.
“I’m afraid I’ll just never leave the house again… … .”
“Why do you think so?”
“Well, I always cause trouble when I come out… … . I could be in danger too… … .”
Oh my.
This is just getting completely depressing.
I gently stroked her round head.
“You’re doing that much for me. Thank you so much, Ruina. But there you go. I want to be with you even more.”
“More and more… … ?”
“There are still so many things we haven’t done yet. To the winter snow festival. To a spring outing. To the summer beach. It hasn’t even been a year yet, and you’re already thinking of staying inside?”
“I’d like to go out too, if only I could be with you… … .”
“Okay, that’s it.”
I hugged Ruina tighter.
“We promised to be together for the rest of our lives. So don’t worry and stay with me. Ruina.”
“Honey… … .”
Ruina slowly raised her tear-stained face towards me.
Soon she closed her eyes naturally.
Now that I think about it, I couldn’t do it earlier because I collapsed.
Then this time for sure… … .
Soon her lips, wet with tears, touched mine carefully.
“Your lips are salty.”
“Don’t say that, it’s embarrassing… … . Idiot… … ♡”
After finishing the kiss, Ruina blushed and came closer to me.
We just laid down on the bed.
Our night started from now.
