by fnovelpiaAs a hero handler, I successfully made contact with the villain Ruina.
I also managed to survive safely.
And now that the underground cave’s protective wall has been opened again.
I was getting a simple vital check from NIS agents.
“Nothing abnormal.”
“Sigh.”
“By the way, you succeeded in nullifying it so easily. If it weren’t for the limitations of your abilities, you would have become a famous hero. It’s too bad.”
Team leader Lee Tae-seok shrugged his shoulders and made a joking comment, his eyes covered by sunglasses.
His mood became even more relaxed.
In fact, he may have been as nervous as I was.
“So what happens now?”
“What are you talking about?”
He glanced at my shoulder.
Next to me is a SSS-class villain wearing a boxy hoodie, holding onto my arm with his whole body.
Ruina was smiling brightly.
The soft and fluffy feeling on my arm… …. Don’t worry about it.
“Even if you tell me to fall now, I will never fall. The team leader knows that.”
Ruina’s assertion is the epitome of determination.
“Are you okay? Stay with me forever. Hehehe♡”
Her tone of voice, which had been sharp towards Team Leader Lee Tae-seok, melted away like snow the moment it turned to me.
Those were the loving words of an ideal girlfriend.
I nodded my head stiffly at her, who was blushing brightly.
“That’s how it is.”
Team leader Lee Tae-seok nodded with his arms crossed.
“What happened… … .”
“The tone has not changed. I hope you two will continue to maintain your relationship in the future.”
“It would’ve happened even if the team leader didn’t say anything!?”
Ruina, who answered on my behalf, hugs my arm even tighter.
Ahh, the soft, supreme feeling… … .
“Handler, please return home with Ruina.”
“Ah, yes. … … … … Yes?”
Together? Back home?
I had some natural doubts about Team Leader Lee Tae-seok’s words.
“The handler’s house is 43 square meters. Fortunately, it’s just the right size for two people to live in.”
“… … … … .”
No no no no.
Thank goodness I’m freezing to death!
Are you telling me to live with Ruina right now!?
Of course, I too would welcome the idea of living with a beautiful woman with open arms.
But if the girl in my arms were just an ordinary woman.
Now Ruina was holding my arm, and the nullification time was constantly being updated.
But if you are so quick that you exceed the 3 minute time limit… … .
I was terribly destroyed by Ruina inside my house.
But I can’t just leave my dangerous villain girlfriend, who is hugging my arm tightly and loving me like this… … !
“Please continue to support us in the future. Hero Handler.”
Are you trying to provoke me by bringing up the word ‘hero’ here?
“… … … … Okay.”
I ended up just lowering my head and agreeing.

When Ruina left the underground cave where she was sealed, she was not wearing a blindfold.
There was also the unexpected harvest of Ruina being completely enamored with me.
Above all, if you put a blindfold on me, she might get really angry.
When we came outside, as expected, it was a dense forest area.
“Ugh… … .”
Ruina, who had been looking at the brightly rising moon, buried her face in mine.
“Are you okay?”
“Hehe. Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen the sky in a long time. My eyes feel a little sore.”
Ruina, who was clinging to me, looks up at me and smiles.
As expected, no matter how many times I see it, it’s a very pretty face.
“But honey?”
“Yes?”
“How long are you going to keep talking like that?”
“Does my speech sound weird?”
“I wish you could just tell me more comfortably~”
“Ah, ahh… … .”
I guess that means he wants me to speak to him informally.
It’s only been about 30 minutes since we met.
Of course, I have no intention of arguing with the way I speak.
I am Ruina’s lover.
Let’s give in to her demands.
“If it’s this comfortable, then… Me?”
“Yes♡”
Ruina smiled bashfully and stuck her head out.
Even without saying anything, it was obvious what her next request would be.
I gently stroked her black hair.
This cute and charming girl is actually the most powerful and evil villain who can destroy an entire city…
It was so contradictory that it still didn’t feel real.
“Let’s ride.”
Soon, a National Intelligence Service agent reaches out to a van parked in the middle of the forest.
At a time when I was trying to follow suit.
Ruina pulled my arm a little harder.
“Can’t you and I go together?”
“Huh? Two, two of you?”
“I don’t want to be with those sweaty old men.”
Ruina glared at the agents with an unpleasant look.
They just stood there frozen in the face of her open disgust.
“Then, the handler should go back with her.”
“I don’t even know where I am. I don’t know how long it will take to get home, and it’s dark.”
I naturally expressed my opposition to Team Leader Lee Tae-seok’s absurd compliance.
He rummaged through his jacket pockets.
I flinched slightly, wondering if he was going to pull out a gun again.
What came out in the team leader’s hand was a smartphone.
Well, there’s someone next to me right now.
If you take out a gun here, it’ll be a straight path to ruin.
“I don’t think there will be a big problem since smartphones have maps, GPS, and even a flashlight.”
“That’s…that’s true.”
I nodded in agreement with Team Leader Lee Tae-seok’s words explaining the superiority of modern civilization.
As he said, the darkness could be chased away with a flashlight, and the location could be confirmed with a map and GPS.
But what about going back?
It took me several dozen minutes to get here by car.
I couldn’t even guess how long it would take to walk home.
He glanced at Ruina with a troubled expression.
“I’m like this, but I’m so strong. I’ll carry you.”
“Carry me… …?”
“Yeah, yeah! Just tell me which way to go home!”
“The conversation is over. Excuse me first.”
Team Leader Lee Tae-seok and the men in black suits gave us a polite greeting.
Vroom!!
He got on the van and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
This guy isn’t done talking yet, damn it…
“Should we go soon, honey?”
“Ugh… . Please.”
As a man, it was a bit awkward for a woman to carry me, but I had no other choice.
I was carried by Ruina with confidence.
Where on earth does this strength come from in those thin arms of hers?
“As I controlled my abilities, my strength naturally grew. Even though it looked like I was just destroying things, I was actually controlling my strength a lot.”
“Oh, I see.”
Did you read my mind?
I ended up stuttering because Ruina suddenly started saying scary things.
What the… I already knew that she had superior physical abilities.
Actually, since you’re carrying me so easily, that must be enough.
“Then let’s go!”
“으─.”
Before I could even say ‘yes’.
Ruina dashed out.
Clearly, her abilities were completely sealed by my power.
That means that this brute strength and agility are purely Ruina’s physical abilities.
As expected, the SSS rating wasn’t just for show.
I lay down on Ruina’s small back and opened the map app on my smartphone.
Our real-time moving location on the map was comparable to the speed of an average vehicle.
It is approximately 15km to the nearest city center.
But at this rate, it seemed like we would get there quickly.
As I had some free time, thoughts that I hadn’t had time to consider before began to take over my mind.
The reason why Ruina likes and follows me so much even though we only met for 30 minutes.
And her ‘man of destiny’ remarks back him up.
I’m really worried. I’m really worried.
Would it be okay to ask why you like me, even bringing up fate?
“Hey. Ruina?”
“Yeah, honey. Why~?”
When I tapped her delicate shoulder and spoke to her, Ruina, who seemed happy, responded right away.
“I have a question for you.”
“Yeah, yeah. If you have any questions for me, I’ll answer them all. Like what I like~? My body size~? Or even something a little racy♡”
Seeing how open-minded you are, I felt like it would be okay to ask.
I licked my dry lips and opened my mouth.
“You called me the person of your destiny earlier… … .”
“Ah~ That?”
Before he could finish speaking, Ruina immediately cut him off.
Through the darkness, her clear gaze glanced at me behind her.
“The person who is destined to fix my life. Something like that.”
“Life?”
A philosophical word popped out.
I didn’t expect it.
Not for romantic reasons like I was the one she had always dreamed of, or my looks fitting right into her strike zone, but for the heavy word ‘life’.
“Didn’t you just tell yourself that you were adjusting your strength?”
“That’s right.”
“But there is a limit to how much power you can control. Just like if you keep pumping air into a balloon, it will eventually burst. No matter how much you control your ability, eventually you will no longer be able to control it.”
She was saying this with a faint smile, but when you consider her abilities and past actions, it was quite a creepy statement.
If what I’m saying is true, then everything she’s been destroying so far is the result of her controlling her abilities.
“Up to 10 seconds. I haven’t counted exactly, but I can suppress my powers for that long. After that, anything I touch will be shattered.”
“So that’s life?”
“Yeah. The one who’s destined to block my fucking abilities. That’s you. Hehe.”
I felt strength enter her arms supporting me.
The ability to completely destroy anything that touches your hand for more than 10 seconds.
It was certainly a fatal flaw that made it impossible to live a normal life.
Because you won’t be able to do things like hold hands with someone, pick up utensils to eat, or even get dressed properly.
Why did Ruina turn into a vicious villain?
I could understand it to some extent.
