episode_0002
by fnovelpiaOne month.
Over the past month, I’ve been doing a variety of things.
Stealing elixirs, soaking hostile organizations or villains that could harm me, etc.
Along with the things I did to ensure a safe life in the hero world in the future.
“It’s almost here.”
“I will show you terrorism befitting an executive of the organization.”
I spent the remaining time laying the groundwork for my successful villain debut.
“Please look forward to it, haha.”
“……”
As I smiled brightly, Astra looked strangely uneasy.
“Um..well, cheer up.”
‘What did I do wrong?’
I walked out of her office and started walking.
To make plans for the future.
***
The headquarters of the Hero Association.
“How many times has this happened already..”
Hero Ice Queen banged her fist on the empty desk.
Similar incidents have occurred one after another since the Blue Scope gang’s destruction last time.
‘A number of guns that seem unlikely to have been used by an individual, with no serial numbers whatsoever.’
Even though she didn’t know anything else, Ice Queen knew it was the work of the same criminal when she saw the serial number that had no trace.
Even though there was no serial number, this time the gun was left behind and disappeared, so if they investigated this, they might be able to get some information, Ice Queen had hopeful thoughts…
“Why on earth is it disappearing..”
Starting with the guns from the very first incident, the guns collected for each incident were turned to dust and disappeared.
‘Is this really a person with a supernatural ability? Is it some kind of space movement? No, it seems a little different from normal movement..’
If it is a person with the ability to move through space, the possibility of it being an individual or even several people in number becomes much higher.
But how do you catch them? After all, you don’t even know their location or their faces?
“Ugh..”
The Ice Queen, feeling dizzy, sat down on her chair and blankly stared outside the association.
The outside scenery is covered with pure white snow, turning the entire world white.
“Was today Christmas..”
Let’s turn on the smartphone for a moment and see the words December 25th.
It was Christmas, a happy holiday for lovers.
‘What kind of Christmas is Christmas?’
Is it because I feel somehow pathetic, waiting for something to happen even on a day like this?
The Ice Queen, whose expression naturally became glum, stretched and placed her hands on her bookshelf.
‘On a day like today, the best thing to do is sit in a quiet place, watch the snow fall, and read a book with a warm cup of tea.’
With that thought in mind, she took the book out of the bookshelf and just as she was getting ready to read it.
“Ah, Ice Queenie!!, O, we’re in big trouble! There’s been a terrorist attack at the B District Department Store..!”
“…I’ll be there right away.”
The Ice Queen, who had frowned at the sudden interruption, soon began to run with a stern face at the subsequent news of the terrorist attack.
***
Today is the important terrorist day.
Before broadcasting my appearance, I stood up and checked my appearance.
Thanks to the ability of the person with the ability to block the organization’s perception, the face does not necessarily need to be covered, but just in case, a black half-mask is worn to cover the upper half of the face.
A black uniform that exudes sophistication, along with a matching hat.
‘It’s okay.’
Here, with a coat on, a fairly plausible looking villain was standing in front of the mirror.
As I turned around with such satisfaction, what I saw were staff members busily running around setting up broadcasting equipment.
“Are you ready yet?”
““Settings will be completed soon!””
The members of the organization answered my question loudly.
‘Hmm. The taste of power is indeed sweet.’
“Now that the time of terror is approaching, I would like you to hurry up a little bit.”
““Okay!!””
After leaving the broadcast settings to the organizers, I sat down in my chair and reviewed the terror planned for today once again.
‘The entrance to the department store has been sealed, mannequins have been prepared to create tension, and the bombs were all installed the day before…’
I prepared for a month and since it was my first villain debut, I wanted to make it a little more perfect.
Let’s take a moment to review what we’ve prepared and think again about how to carry out the attack.
“Nice to meet you, everyone.”
The terrorist broadcast that announced my beginning as a villain began.
***
I looked at the camera and smiled leisurely.
“Nice to meet you, everyone.”
‘The face is always a smiling face.’
Cross your legs and place your hands on your knees.
‘The concept is a polite gentleman villain.’
A villain who is never emotional, and is polite to the hostages even though he is the main perpetrator of the terrorist attack.
It will feel like there is a dark curtain that is always smiling but whose true intentions are unknown.
In reality, it wouldn’t be that different.
I plan to make the heroes stronger by manipulating them in the future.
It would be perfect if they could defeat the final boss among themselves without me having to struggle.
“My name is Maker. I am an executive of ‘Eclipse’.”
Putting aside my distracting thoughts, I looked at the camera and continued saying what I wanted to say.
“I know there are many shortcomings since I haven’t been here for long, but I will do my best as an executive, so please understand.”
‘Is the broadcast being broadcast properly?’
Since I can’t grasp it in real time, it feels strangely like I’m talking to myself, and it’s embarrassing.
I rolled my eyes for a moment and looked at the panel that the organization member was holding up.
I could see the electronic boards on each public broadcasting station broadcasting me speaking live.
-There is currently a terrorist attack at the B District Department Store.
-The villain revealed that he is currently an executive of the villain organization ‘Eclipse’.
-Villain’s psychiatry professors are analyzing his mental flaws..
Hmm. Fortunately, it seems to be being transmitted well.
Feeling a little relieved, I quickly grasped the content of each news story.
‘But what do you mean by mental defect? The concept is set to be a completely gentlemanly guy.’
Is it a bit ironic to commit terrorism in a gentlemanly manner?
I had a moment of doubt, but I let it slide. I picked up my teacup, took a sip, and continued talking.
“Getting to the point, I’m going to terrorize this place today.”
As I smiled and pointed to the floor below with my finger, a murmur began to be heard throughout the building.
“There is only one thing I wish for.”
Anyway, I smiled brightly, leaned my upper body over the table, and looked at the camera.
“Heroes are coming this way.”
***
-There’s only one thing I wish for.
-Heroes are coming this way.
Inside the Hero Association’s B-Sector Operations Analysis Lab.
From heroes to association staff, many people were watching the new villain ‘Maker’ appearing on public broadcast.
“What do you mean, “Hero, come here?””
As the people in the analysis room listened to him, a common question came to mind.
In response, the maker continued speaking.
-Haha, doesn’t it seem too strange for a guy who’s about to commit terrorism to suddenly call a hero when he doesn’t even have money?
The maker spoke nonchalantly as if he were having a daily conversation, and poured warm tea into the empty cup.
-I am an artist who loves games. Games naturally need players.
-Compensation. Um, should we make it with the citizens?
“Ha.”
“That kid.”
The faces of the association staff turn pale at the mention of the word citizen.
“Hey, the police blocked the area? Did they block off the area so that kid can’t escape? ”
Some of them asked their subordinates standing next to them about the current situation, as if it was not worth listening to.
-I swear on the honor of the organization that if you take my bet and win, I will free all the citizens here.
– Of course, there shouldn’t be any flaws for you, the rewarders. You just have to wait for the heroes to save you without any worries.
As the Maker spoke, the commotion from the building below him grew louder.
And the maker makes a strange expression as to how he accepted such a commotion.
-Hmm, I guess I’m still suspicious.
The maker, who had been pondering for a moment, soon smiled as if he had done a good deed, leaned back in his chair, and poured the freshly poured tea into his mouth.
-If you can’t believe it, then fine. Trust is needed to get anything done.
-If only the heroes would come, and if you would just do that much for today, I will release everyone here.
Don’t you think I’m being too lenient?
A smiling maker.
-You guys just need to rest comfortably and when the heroes come, you can go home.
“Ha, you’re talking funny”
The man who was in charge of the operations analysis team put out his cigarette nervously.
All villains are psychopaths.
That is the established theory.
Up until now, the game has been about putting citizens at risk or using citizens as shields to attack heroes.
The terrorist attacks committed by villains in the name of games always ended badly.
Even if you followed all the villains’ words, there was no one who kept their word.
There are some guys who get obsessed with something and act strangely, but they are all the same in the end.
They are all guys who change their words as if it were natural for some purpose.
A guy who’s obviously similar to that type kidnaps citizens without any purpose and then lets them go because a hero has arrived?
‘You’re talking nonsense.’
That’s nonsense.
There must be something else going on, obviously.
When the hero comes, he either takes the citizens hostage right away, or has some other hidden purpose.
“There’s nothing more to see! Hit me!”
The moment the angry man was about to shout to immediately catch the villain who was broadcasting terrorism over there.
-Kwaaang!!!
The camera screen shook with a loud noise.
The maker sat still, unfazed, waiting for the shaking to stop.
-I forgot to mention this, but if you commit any low-level acts, such as trying to collect the compensation first while I’m not looking, I will detonate all the bombs in the department store.
-Also, if the heroes don’t come, a bomb will be randomly detonated once every 20 minutes.
If you guys come late, you’ll be in big trouble, right?
Maker with a playful smile.
The screen shows low-quality images of a large number of people huddled together in one place with their heads bowed, along with bombs installed in every corner of the building.
-I hope you all become my masterpieces.
With those words, the screen on the scoreboard where the maker was appearing blinked darkly.
