by fnovelpiaI sat Ruina down on the sofa and pressed my body as close to her as possible.
And then he quietly brought up something that could either be hope or despair for Ruina.
At first, she was just smiling, wondering what I would say,
“… … … … .”
When the subject of the lab was brought up, her face literally turned a shade of earth.
“I thought there would be something… … . That’s what it was.”
Ruina reacted unexpectedly calmly.
I thought you’d run out right away and go find the Masquerade in the middle of the night.
“Ruina. What are you going to do?”
“Masquerade said he wanted to meet me and find himself? Then I should help him find himself.”
Ruina clenched her small but powerful fist.
She didn’t intend to leave right away, but she seemed to have made up her mind a while ago.
“That day. You said you destroyed everything in the lab, so how on earth did Masquerade survive there?”
“Well, the 24 I remember was a very agile person. Thanks to that, he would sneak out a few extra pieces of bread during mealtime and share them with others. He was a very kind and upright person.”
“It definitely feels similar to Masquerade right now… … .”
“Well, if you had your abilities adjusted like mine after that, you might have been able to avoid my destructive powers. Even Masquerade is dealing with me right now before I can even reach him, right?”
Ruina, who was saying that, suddenly raised her eyebrows.
And then nod.
He tilted his head to the side.
“But I have a question.”
“Any questions?”
“Yeah. The 24 I know is a girl who is a year or two older than me. She was the one who said, “I might die today.” So does that mean Masquerade is actually a girl?”
“That could be true. Masquerade is a girl──!!?”
I sat up from my seat without realizing it and screamed.
Neighbor… even so, he is our maid, Team Leader Jang Se-hee.
Anyway, the voice was loud enough to be a nuisance to the neighbors.
“How can such a manly person be a woman… … .”
“Yeah, yeah. 24 had a pretty face too? That’s why the boys really liked her.”
“Haha… … .”
Who would have thought that in the middle of a dark conversation, such random information would make you laugh out loud?
I stroked Ruina’s hair, which brightened the mood.
“Hehe. Ticklish♡”
“Thank you, Ruina. Thanks to you, I was able to relieve some of my heavy thoughts.”
“Was it a heavy burden that Masquerade was a woman?”
“Oh, no. That’s not what I meant!”
“Honey. If you turn your eyes to a pretty woman just in case… … . Eight!”
Ruina ran towards me with a bright smile.
“I will let you seep me into your whole body without any other woman even noticing it.”
“Ru, Ruina… … .”
It looks like the switch is turned on.
When everyone else is acting with a heavy mission.
Can I just be so happy and flirting like this?
… … I briefly had a dutiful thought, but I quickly shook my head and shook it off.
Didn’t Inspector Lee Tae-seok and Ex-Machina tell me?
Please take good care of Ruina.
And I’m a hero handler.
As the name suggests, she is the one and only hero who takes care of Ruina.
So, in the end, it’s my duty to accommodate Ruina’s mood.
“Hoohoo♡ It looks like this side is already ready♡”
Ruina glanced at my lower body and licked her lips with her tongue.
Encouraged by that alluring appearance, I decided to give myself over to this pink flow after finishing my self-rationalization.
“Ruina. I really love you.”
“Yeah… … ♡”
After Ruina and I confirmed each other’s sincerity.
They overlapped each other’s bodies as it was.

The next day.
The Hero Bureau office is noisy with the noise of each person working.
“Does something good seem to be happening to you these days?”
While I was working on the computer, Kyungtae, sitting next to me, suddenly popped his head in.
“That’s a good thing.”
“It’s all over your face.”
“Should I call this a good thing… … .”
If you really think about it, you can’t see even an inch ahead of you what the future holds.
That’s what my face looks like when Kyungtae looks at it.
“How about you, Si-eun?”
“Hey, how are you? How are you?”
“No, Imma. You guys have been dating for quite some time now. So, have you made any progress?”
“Why would I tell you that, you idiot.”
“Wow. I guess this kid’s got something going on because he doesn’t say no outright?”
“No, no comment.”
Kyungtae hid his head behind the partition, feeling embarrassed for no reason.
I always thought we would be pitiful single brothers.
We were both slowly becoming adults.
It’s so peaceful now.
What will happen when Ruina and Masquerade meet?
“Hey. Jo Seong-hoon.”
Beyond the partition, only Kyungtae’s two eyes were peeking out again.
“What? Now you want to tell me how you and Sieun got along?”
“I’ll take care of it. You should get along well with Yuri.”
“Ha. Is that all you wanted to say?”
“Thanks to you and Yuri, I got to know Blaze and Si-eun. I’m really, really grateful to you two.”
“Kyungtae you… … .”
“So, please make Yuri happy. I will also work hard to be with Si-eun.”
Kyungtae’s eyes flashed with determination.
It was the gaze of a man and a close friend.
I waved my hands with a snicker.
“Yeah, Ima. Think of it as a once in a lifetime opportunity and act like it’s nothing.”
“Haha. Those two people who are talking like that, aren’t working right now and are just hanging out~?”
While confirming the strong friendship between men.
A low, female voice was heard from behind.
Kyungtae had already hidden his head beyond the partition.
“Seo, senior… … .”
Behind her, the senior who had helped Ruina before was standing with a very angry expression on her face.
“Documents in charge. Can you finish them by today?”
“That, that’s right! No problem!”
“Mr. Yoo Kyung-tae~?”
“You can do it!!”
A loud answer came from beyond the partition to the senior’s question.
“Then let’s work hard today too? Don’t slack off♪”
My senior smiled brightly, tapped me on the shoulder, and returned to his seat.
After all, the person who says something like that and laughs is the scariest.

The time when Seonghun was busy with his work as a civil servant.
In Seong-Hoon’s 43-square-meter house, where there was no landlord, three people and one hidden person were butting heads.
“Here are some reasonably selected contact points. Please check them out.”
After Tae-seok receives satellite photos of several areas sent by Ex-Machina, who has managed to hide somewhere in the house.
I was showing it to Ruina and Sehee on their behalf.
“They are all far from the city.”
“Because you never know what kind of accident might happen near the city center… … .”
Ruina didn’t want to fight with her older sister, who was close to her.
However, Baron Masquerade, who heard about it, had forgotten who he was.
If she thought that fighting was the only way to get herself back, then Ruina had no choice but to fight against it.
“Haa. I might be fighting with someone who’s like my own sister. My position is also quite strange.”
“Your older sister… … is that you?”
At Taeseok’s muttering, Ruina nodded with a round expression.
“She’s someone who knew me before I became a villain, so of course she’s my older sister.”
“I hope you and your sister can have a smooth conversation.”
“Of course! I don’t want to go around destroying everything!!”
Ruina stuck out her lips and slowly got up from her seat.
“But what if we fight?”
The two lowered their heads at her subsequent questions.
In fact, everyone wanted it to end with words, but everyone knew that would never happen.
So, the contact points that Exmachina sent were also far from the city center to avoid causing civilian casualties.
“Ruina. What would you do if you were in a situation where you had to kill the Masquerade?”
“24?”
“Yes.”
Ruina closed her mouth for a moment at Taeseok’s question.
And then the silence followed.
I wonder what she’s thinking.
Taeseok and Sehee waited quietly for her answer.
“Hehe.”
What was soon heard before the answer was Ruina’s hearty laughter.
“Even if she’s like my real sister, she’s only looking at the past and trying to kill me? Then I have to do my best to deal with her. I have someone precious to me who’s waiting for me.”
It was a bright answer from someone who looked to the future and could no longer be seen as a villain.
