‘I wonder where it is.’

    I walked out of the slums with light steps.

    There were occasional beggars from the slums who would stare at me, but soon they would click their tongues when they saw the gun in my hand.

    ‘If I looked easy, they would have tried to loot my belongings right away.’

    There are no CCTVs here and they don’t have smartphones.

    A shit bucket that even heroes are reluctant to patrol here.

    A place where the entire area is ruined, unlike other places where there are just a few abandoned buildings.

    Zone F.

    It served as a central area connected to each of the other districts, but was an area inhabited only by the abandoned.

    That’s why I’m dressed as a maker now.

    There are no CCTVs or smartphones, so no hero will come to catch me, and it would be quite annoying if I were to be looked down on.

    ‘Anyway, if my calculations are correct, it should be around this time. Where could it be? Lee Ga-yeon.’

    Five years later, the villain who would appear in the original work, Polia.

    Her real name is Lee Ga-yeon.

    Her powers are a little more special than others.

    ‘A person with multiple abilities.’

    It’s not that there aren’t people with multiple abilities in general.

    In very rare cases, there are beings who are born with two or three abilities.

    But more than that.

    A person with countless supernatural abilities, more than 10 or 20.

    She was none other than the future S-class villain, Polia.

    ‘Of course, having multiple abilities isn’t necessarily a good thing.’

    This ability is like a seed planted in the ground.

    Depending on how fertile the soil is and how well it is watered, it is quite possible for it to grow into a large tree, or vice versa.

    At this time, if a single ability user plants one seed, a multi-ability user plants two or more seeds in the same soil.

    How will the tree grow then?

    They will probably fight each other to get nutrients from the same land.

    ‘People who are born with multiple abilities are unable to stabilize them.’

    As we were born with beautiful land.

    They can evenly distribute the nutrients in the soil, dividing them exactly in half.

    Instead, you will be pushed out by single ability users of the same type.

    But what if there were artificially created multi-powered people?

    What if you were not born with multiple abilities, but were created with multiple abilities?

    ‘The girl I’m going to meet now is exactly that kind of special case.’

    “Gyaaak!!”

    While I was walking down the street, thinking about it, I heard a frail woman’s voice in my ear.

    I turned my head and walked towards the sound, and there was a man climbing on top of a woman’s body.

    “Hehehe..Stay still! You bitch!”

    “Gyaaaah!!”

    Sizzle- sizzle-

    A man who tears the clothes of a woman who is struggling like that.

    “shi, I hate it!!”

    “Hehehe! You like it too, you bitch! You like it but you’re being annoying!”

    “Hey, …

    “Who helps whom in this slum? I’ll help you a lot! Don’t do that, be quiet..!”

    “I can’t hear you.”

    Crunch.

    Taang!

    I pulled the trigger at the man without hesitation.

    A red flood burst out from the man’s head.

    “Ah, ahh..ah.”

    “Are you okay?”

    The man is now a piece of meat.

    I kicked it away and spoke to the trembling woman.

    ‘Wow. No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem to be Lee Ga-yeon.’

    At this time, she is still a middle school student.

    The woman in front of him was young, but she looked like she was in her early twenties, so she couldn’t be Lee Ga-yeon.

    “, thank you! I really appreciate it! ”

    “Don’t mention it.”

    A woman who seemed to have come to her senses after being dazed for a moment and then greeted me.

    I accepted the thank you without any particular problem, but I was a little surprised.

    ‘Even if we live in a world where the value of life has been reduced, how can you not feel bad when someone is killed right in front of you?’

    ◦ ◦ ◦!

    Hmm. I guess it’s nothing.

    A woman who, as if she had died well, gathered phlegm from her mouth and spat it out loud.

    I feel like I’m getting sick of looking at her.

    ‘Is this the citizen mindset of the hero world? This part is not easy to adapt to.’

    I used this ability to make her a thick fur coat and gave it to her.

    “It’s cold. I don’t think you can withstand this weather in those clothes.”

    “Huh? Ah, ah…thank you, ah..”

    The woman who had been giggling and spitting just a moment ago blushed and shyly thanked me when I handed her some clothes.

    “……”

    ‘I need to get this matter straight and then leave.’

    “Have you seen a child around here by any chance?”

    ***

    I followed the woman’s words and set out on the path through the slums.

    When I felt like I wasn’t getting any help, I would walk around the streets and ask other people for help.

    A few hours passed like that.

    ‘Where the hell are you..’

    She first appeared in the winter five years after the beginning of the original story.

    There was also a scene where sounds of New Year’s were heard in the slums.

    Calculating it, it should be around this time.

    ‘I guess I’m starting to lack the strength to use my abilities, so I won’t be able to run away properly.’

    In the original, it was described that she was chased by crazy humans who tried to pounce on her as a child.

    And to escape from those people, he continuously used teleportation. In the end, he said he used up almost all of his magic power.

    In an extreme situation where you are weak both psychologically and physically, someone comes to your rescue.

    It’s a cliché development, but clichés work well, so it can be called a cliché.

    ‘The problem is that the main character has to be visible…’

    “Get out of here..!!”

    I think I found it.

    When I turned to the direction of the sound, I saw a small girl panting and glaring at a middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man looking at her with a sinister gaze.

    ‘I don’t think it’s dramatic timing yet.’

    Should I just watch for a bit?

    “Okay, okay, good..? Oh, mister, I’m not a bad person!”

    “……”

    “That, that, that, just, in this, this kind of place, haa..you, a, young, child like you, is, there, is.”

    “……”

    “That’s why I’m worried, worried, that’s why I’m doing that!”

    One step.

    The girl who took a step forward with a grin on her face, looked at the middle-aged man with trembling eyes, and then took a step back.

    She stretched out her arms, but nothing came out of her hands.

    “Why, why, do, run away? Are you running away? Huh? Oh, what did the old man do..?”

    “Don’t come..!”

    A middle-aged man who starts to beat his legs in a fit of convulsions at her words.

    “Why, why? Why? What did I, what did I, what did I do..? Ah, nothing! I didn’t do anything!! Bitch, bitch! Fucking bitch! You too! You, you too!! You too! They call me a, a retard! They call me a retard!!!!”

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The middle-aged man ground his teeth as he hit the floor hard with his feet.

    “Me too, I wanted to touch and try it! Me too, me too, me too!!! Me too!!!”

    Then the middle-aged man ran towards the girl and knocked her down.

    The girl tried her best to push the middle-aged man away, but it wasn’t enough.

    He hit the middle-aged man with his small hand and bit his arm, etc.

    The girl struggled to shake off the middle-aged man.

    “Me too! I’ll touch it too! Me too!!”

    Even as tears streamed down her face, the girl continued to resist.

    The moment the man raised his hand to tear the girl’s yellow clothes.

    Crunch.

    “What are you doing to a child who hasn’t even grown up yet?”

    I aimed my gun at the middle-aged man’s head, as if I was a little angry.

    Taang!!

    This time I pulled the trigger without hesitation.

    “……”

    ‘Let’s manage our expressions, manage our expressions.’

    I’m really angry right now.

    Why? Because I saw a piece of trash trying to pounce on a child right in front of my eyes.

    But the girl shouldn’t have felt that anger.

    After the scary experience I just had, I can’t make it scary again.

    “..Are you okay?”

    He smiled a little awkwardly, bent his knees to get to her eye level as if he was trying his best to make her not look scared.

    “……”

    Then the girl looked at me with tearful eyes.

    “Oh, if this is okay, please use it.”

    “..sigh.”

    As I made a handkerchief and handed it to her, tears quietly flowed from her eyes.

    ‘As planned.’

    I held her in my arms while she was crying and smiled.

    ***

    I picked her up and returned to the cafe.

    “Would you like something to eat?”

    “……”

    Was it because she was embarrassed about crying earlier, or was it because she was only now beginning to doubt me?

    She looks at me, keeping silence the whole time.

    Why are you doing this? We already gave our names when we came here.

    “Is there anything you’d like to eat, Gayeon?”

    “……”

    “I could make you something really delicious.”

    I have a body that even went to cooking school.

    It was quite possible to cook simple dishes.

    “…uh.”

    “Huh? I didn’t hear you correctly. Could you say that again?”

    “Nothing..I want to eat it.”

    She looked away curtly.

    “Aren’t you hungry?”

    “…I’m not hungry.”

    Gulp.

    “……”

    “……”

    When she says she’s not hungry, her stomach rumbles in protest.

    Lee Ga-yeon’s face turned red like a persimmon.

    “I think you’re hungry.”

    “..I’m not hungry…!”

    Lee Ga-yeon hurriedly pressed her stomach and screamed.

    “Is it because I’m not good enough?”

    She paused for a moment at my words and looked at me.

    I smiled as if I didn’t care at all as I watched her like that.

    “It’s okay. That could be possible.”

    “……”

    “But I can’t not feed him, so what should I do?”

    “..I said I’m not hungry…”

    Gulp.

    Lee Ga-yeon felt frustrated with her stomach rumbling without her knowing, so she patted her stomach.

    “Don’t do that. Hmm… How about doing it like this?”

    I brought a chair and set it up next to the kitchen.

    And then he looked at her, patting her on the back.

    “Would you please sit here and watch me while I cook to make sure I don’t do anything bad?”

    “……”

    Lee Ga-yeon hesitates for a moment after hearing what I said.

    She soon made up her mind, came towards me hesitantly and sat down on the chair.

    ‘Shall we begin?’

    I turned on the fire and started cooking.

    Lee Ga-yeon watched me cook, staring intently at me like that.

    ***

    “ It’s done.”

    What I made was pasta.

    Even if I wanted to cook a proper meal, it would take a long time, so I just chose to make a simple pasta dish from the supermarket with the ingredients.

    …gulp.

    She swallows her saliva with a visual that makes her steam rise and the delicious smell.

    “Okay, try it.”

    I handed her a fork and a plate of pasta.

    She, who had been watching closely, soon began to inhale the pasta.

    “Eat slowly. You’ll choke.”

    I watched Igayeon eat pasta like that for a while, then chuckled and brought her some water.

    Lee Ga-yeon stopped drinking the water I gave her and looked at the pasta.

    “……”

    She paused, holding her fork as if pondering something, then began eating her pasta again.

    A little slower than before.

    I questioned such behavior.

    “..Does pasta not suit your taste?”

    …Dori dori.

    Well, if it wasn’t tasty, I wouldn’t have eaten it like that.

    Then are you saving it?

    “If you want to eat it again, I’ll make it for you, so you don’t have to eat it so slowly.”

    Lee Ga-yeon looks at me after hearing my words.

    “…I hate it.”

    She showed her denial, as when she threw a tantrum and refused to eat.

    “..If you eat everything…you have to leave.”

    ‘So that’s why.’

    After saying everything she wanted to say, Lee Ga-yeon lowers her head and starts stirring the pasta.

    You’re worrying about useless things.

    ‘I didn’t intend to let you go.’

    If that were the case, there would be no reason for me to bring you here.

    But from her perspective, it was a worrying enough thought, so I quietly accepted it.

    And then he picked out the words to say to her.
