by fnovelpiaThe Sky Garden is a source of pride for the building where our Hero Nation is located.
It was a small artificial forest on the rooftop, created at the suggestion of a high-ranking official who suggested adding a little green to the bleak, gray building.
I sat on the bench inside… … .
“Aaang~”
“Ru, Ruina. If you only give this to me, you… … .”
“Aaang~!”
“… Aaang. Ugh!”
I was continuously accepting Ruina shoving her side dishes into my mouth.
Thanks to that, I haven’t even eaten half of the side dishes yet.
Ruina’s lunch box was already almost empty.
“I feel full just watching myself enjoy my meal.”
“Um, umm… … .”
It’s nice that you’re generous with me, though.
Doesn’t this feel more like a mother than a lover?
“Hehehe. Honey, you have to eat a lot and love me a lot?”
The side dishes that Ruina put in my mouth are still there.
I nodded my head repeatedly, my cheeks puffed out.
“Haa… … .”
“Okay, here’s a drink.”
“, thank you.”
As soon as I got the food down my throat, a bottle of drink was thrust into my mouth along with a bright smile.
I washed my throat, which was almost blocked, with the refreshing taste of the drink.
I asked Ruina, who was only eating rice.
“Ruina. Are you sure you can give it all to me? I’m just as hungry as you are.”
“Then yes. This time, will you put it in my mouth?”
Aha. So this was the plan?
A scene of them lovingly handing each other food.
Isn’t this the perfect sight of a honey-dripping couple?
We’ve already kissed each other once.
Now I can do embarrassing things to her without hesitation.
“Then… … .Okay.”
“Aaang~”
I picked up a large Vienna sausage with chopsticks and carefully fed it to her, who had her eyes closed and her mouth open.
“Is it delicious?”
“Yeah. Yeah.”
Ruina nodded her head vigorously while enjoying the side dishes I gave her.
Her expression, which had seemed like it would drown anyone just a moment ago, was filled with utmost happiness.
By the way, just a moment ago I thought something really big was going to happen.
On one side, there is a villain of SSS-class destruction.
On one side, there are elite heroes who are on the rise.
Even though Ruina’s abilities were sealed in my abilities, her physical abilities were comparable to those of top-tier physical enhancement users.
If the two of them had just engaged in a pure hand-to-hand fight… … .
Let’s stop thinking about it.
If you have negative thoughts like this, really negative things will happen.
It’s a good thing there’s no one in the Sky Garden today.
Because Ruina and Blaze didn’t seem to be fighting with each other.
To be exact, only one side unilaterally fired sparks.
“Come to think of it, it’s really deserted?”
I turned on the screen of my fully charged phone in the office.
The time is 12:37 p.m.
It was already more than halfway through lunchtime, but strangely enough, there were no resident employees in sight.
There is also a female employee leisurely sipping coffee.
There are also human chimneys smoking in the smoking booth in the corner.
Even the occasional, annoying male couples that I saw.
I glanced at Ruina, who was staring at me intently and smiling.
“Why, honey? Is there something you want to tell me?”
Are you sure you won’t miss my gaze even for a millimeter?
Ruina tilted her head and asked straight away.
“No, just that.”
I really hope so… … .
I cleared my throat and asked Ruina a question.
“Ruina. Is it possible that there are other people hiding around here besides us…?”
“Yeah. The team leader’s subordinates are over there and over there.”
“… … … … .”
The moment Ruina answered without a moment’s hesitation, she looked in the direction he had pointed.
I definitely felt something moving and rustling.
I thought it was a stretch, but it seems to be true.
In preparation for any unforeseen circumstances, the National Intelligence Service agents are controlling this entire sky garden.
I wonder if they were a strategic crisis response team, they were very thorough in their crisis response.
It’s creepy, really.
It was after finishing a meal that was watched from all sides.
“Honey. When will you finish what you’re doing now?”
Ruina asked, lifting a paper bag full of trash.
“If nothing else comes up, I think it’ll be 6 o’clock.”
But it might be a little late because of the report my team members gave me today.
Wouldn’t it be better to tell this in advance?
Because Ruina might suddenly come to visit again like this.
“Then I will stay with you until the end.”
“Yeah. Maybe until 8 o’clock──Yes?”
“I’ll be here with you forever.”
“… … … … .”
After that, I became so embarrassed that I forgot what I was going to say.
Her large eyes show strong will.
This isn’t a joke or anything, Ruina really intends to stay here with me forever.
“That, that. Ruina.”
“No way?”
“This is a workplace after all… … . No one other than the staff is allowed to enter the office… … .”
“No… … ?”
Oh, no… … .
I’m starting to fall for her earnest gaze.
Although his reason knew that it was absolutely impossible, his instincts and affection were secretly pushing him to find a way to be with Ruina.
but…….
There really was nothing I could do.
I want to be with her too.
After all, it was impossible for me to break the rules that everyone had to follow for my sake.
“I’m really sorry, Ruina. I’m really sorry about that.”
I held both of Ruina’s hands tightly and politely told her that I was refusing.
“… … I see.”
I wonder if Ruina really hates being separated from me.
He looked very disappointed, with his shoulders and head drooping.
Her gloomy appearance made my heart ache a little, but
Here, I was in a position where I had no choice but to take a strong stance.
If she and I both like each other, it would be natural that we should understand each other’s case as well.
“Instead, I’ll be with you all day on holidays─.”
“Then if I destroy it here, I can stay here.”
“… … This, will be there.”
Ruina suddenly started muttering something scary.
This is it.
Isn’t this a very dangerous situation in a different sense from before?
I whipped my head around to see her mumbling something increasingly unintelligible.
I’m sure it’s still somewhere nearby.
The black suits of the Strategic Crisis Response Team!
He gestured urgently in the direction where the agent was likely hiding.
Rustle rustle.
So how have you been folding your body up until now?
A large body emerged from the grass, stretching its body here and there like a transforming robot.
No. It’s okay for now.
As long as I can properly contact Team Leader Lee Tae-seok, that’s all that matters.
The walkie-talkie was handed over to us as soon as the man in the black suit approached us.
[Ruina. You must keep your promise to us. For the sake of the handler.]
A truly welcome voice came from the reception desk, just in time for the current situation.
I didn’t even explain the situation to Team Leader Lee Tae-seok.
Ruina’s mutterings suddenly stopped at his blunt words.
“Huh! You know what? I was just venting.”
“Oh, I see… … .”
You’re saying that was just a rant!?
In addition to her destructive powers, did Ruina also have method acting skills?
I honestly thought she was going to tear this building down… … .
[Then it’s time to go. After all, Handler is a worker before he is a hero.]
“Honey. Are you sure you’ll be back soon? Huh?”
“Okay. Okay.”
I have to somehow get Kyungtae to help me out so we can finish the paperwork together.
For the safety of the Hero Nation.
[And it looks like it’s going to rain tonight. I’ll be waiting downstairs. Ruina.]
“I got it, Team Leader. Now, throw this away.”
Ruina threw the paper bag at the man in black suit with a blank expression.
And then, just before we finally fell apart, she held my hand and smiled brightly.
“Look at it♡”
I waved at Ruina as she walked away, treating the NIS agent like a servant.
On the other hand,
I thought back to what Team Leader Lee Tae-seok had said just now and the small talk from last night.
[If I say ‘It’s going to rain at night’, please call me right away.]
After talking about salary and work.
It was a request he made while glancing down at his sunglasses.
It was an unforgettable word when I recalled those fierce eyes.
I waited until Ruina completely disappeared.
I immediately called Team Leader Lee Tae-seok’s number.
“I─.”
[Warning: Hero Handler.]
Before I could even ask what he was trying to say.
The first thing I heard was Team Leader Lee Tae-seok’s cold words.
“Hey, warning? Suddenly?”
[Handler, you are on a top secret mission involving a SSS-class, top-notch villain. Please don’t forget.]
“I know that… … .”
[You are still under Ruina’s control, so I am leaving you free. If the villain runs wild despite this ‘monster taming’ operation… ]
“If it goes wild… … ?”
[After I confine you to the mothership, I plan to use you as a means of controlling Ruina. The details of the operation have changed considerably from the initial plan, but you have risen to the most important position for her.]
Gulp.
A much more realistic threat than Ruina’s mutterings.
I just held the phone to my ear like a dumb person who had eaten honey.
[Okay. Next, please take care of me. Hero Handler.]
Stop.
The one-sided command tone of the call was cut off.
“… … … … Fuck.”
As I sat there blankly for a moment, a single curse came out softly from my mouth.
Something I had briefly forgotten came to mind.
The first step towards me becoming Ruina’s lover was their kidnapping.
