episode_0035
by fnovelpiaAfter Gayeon and I escaped by teleportation.
We headed to Eclipse headquarters.
‘Since the villain committed a terrorist attack nearby, it might be difficult to return to the cafe right away.’
Perhaps, since there were heroes and police officers all around, it was obvious that they would come and bother me.
And I also had a little bit of work to do within Eclipse.
“Go to the office?”
After teleporting to the training ground,
Gayeon tilts her head while looking up at me.
“I don’t think it’s necessary to do that.”
I shook my head at her question.
I didn’t go on a mission or commit terrorism, so there’s no need to report it.
“I’m going to meet ‘Doctor’ after a long time.”
“Doctor?”
She makes a puzzled expression at my words.
“Ah, Ms. Gayeon, haven’t you met the doctor yet?”
doctor.
Like previous doctors, he is a character who takes care of the organization’s combat personnel.
Among them, the doctor is in charge of forming a platoon of researchers and procuring items that can be helpful to combatants and officers.
“He is someone who has some kind of connection with me.”
I turned my gaze and looked at the wooden dolls fixed on the training ground.
Dolls that are so far apart that it’s hard to tell even at first glance.
‘Ugh-‘
I thought about my goal clearly and swung the object in my hand.
Wheeek-!
Bam!
“Oh, I missed that.”
As I swung it, the whip struck around the wooden doll that had grown in an instant.
It was the spoils of the villain who was running wild today.
‘I bet he’d be quite pleased if you took this to him.’
Pak pak-
A strange object that has no elasticity, but stretches when swung.
I think I’ll leave this to the doctor.
‘It’s an interesting subject, so if I just remember it a little, it might come in handy someday.’
Or, it doesn’t matter if you just carry the whip around.
“Please wait a moment. If you go to Ms. Narin, I will go.”
“How long will it take?”
“It will be over soon.”
With a sound like “Hmm.”
Gayeon takes a thoughtful pose, supporting her chin with one hand.
She quickly took her hand off my chin and looked up at me.
“Come quickly and get a one-time date with me.”
“..Usually, if you come late, don’t you expect some kind of compensation?”
“Only when it’s a punishment. Playing with me is a reward for you too.”
Gayeon looked at me with a confident attitude.
‘Why is that a reward for me too..?’
Where on earth did you learn such shamelessness…
“Then I guess I should come as soon as possible.”
I felt a little dizzy, but I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.
I smiled and patted her head.
***
Inside Eclipse’s lab.
“Huh! Maker! Please wait a moment!!”
When I visited, the surprised researchers told me to wait and then started running inside.
Just wait a little while.
“Ai~gooo~~!!!!”
From afar, a person could be seen running towards me, making a noise.
A man slides in front of me, kneels, and buries his head.
“Maker, are you here!!!”
“…Dr.”
He was the head of research at Eclipse, a Ph.D.
“It’s been a while.”
“Oh my, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you!! Hey, Doctor! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Maker’s face, so I’m impressed! So impressed again..!”
“Stop it and bring out the main character.”
“Yes, I understand, Maker.”
With just one word from me, the doctor changed from a simpleton to a cold-looking man in an instant.
That was his supernatural power.
‘Honestly, it seems more like a mental illness than an ability.’
anyway.
“What brings you here after such a long time, Maker?”
“I have a personal favor to ask of you. Would you please listen to me?”
“Anything within my reach.”
Then, he changed his sitting position to kneeling on one knee and bowing his head politely.
..That seems like a strange personality too.
Let’s just ignore it.
“Thank you. I think the doctor will like it too.”
I took the whip out of my bosom and showed it to him.
“This is..”
“I took it from the villain I encountered today, but it’s a more interesting weapon than I thought.”
“Do you need to know everything about the principles of weapons and the properties of the materials used in them?”
‘As expected, you understand quickly.’
I nodded.
“Then..”
Whirik-
The doctor’s eyes rolled back in an instant.
For a moment his body trembled.
“Oh, ugh…Leave it to me, please. Brother…”
“Mr. Sad is here.”
“Yes..”
The doctor looked at me with his body curled up, tears streaming down his face.
“I, I’m… ugh, not as good as Joy or Guri hyung… but ugh. I’m good at this kind of thing…”
Sad. One of the doctor’s secondary personalities.
He was a person with specialized techniques and knowledge in analysis.
‘It’s a supernatural ability that becomes more and more amazing the more you look at it.’
Multiple personality disorder.
It was a real supernatural ability, not a mental illness like in the original world.
The doctor exists as a main personality, which is himself, and a secondary personality with supernatural powers. Each of the secondary personalities exists as a personality with different areas of expertise, knowledge, and personality.
‘And in this way, when necessary, we would change personalities and utilize each person’s specialty.’
“Then I will believe you, Mr. Sad.”
“Sigh..Thank you for trusting me..Ugh…”
I left him behind, tears streaming down his face as he thanked me.
I left the lab.
***
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
“Poohahaha! Try harder, Gayeon~”
“Profit..”
After leaving the lab, I went straight to the room assigned to Narin.
When I carefully opened the door, what I saw was two girls playing with each other on a game console.
‘I guess you were having fun.’
I looked at the sight with pleasure and deliberately made a noise at the door.
Then, hearing that sound, the two girls’ eyes simultaneously turned to me.
“Brother.”
“Is your brother here?”
Gayeon running towards me, and Narin waving her hand and smiling at me.
“I’m back.”
“Just sit anywhere. I’ll get you something to drink.”
As she said that, Narin got up from her seat and headed to the refrigerator.
“What do you want to drink?”
“I want cola.”
“There’s cola…what do you want to drink, brother? Should I get some tea from the cupboard?”
“I would appreciate it if you could do that.”
“Okay, received~”
Now, Narin speaks to me informally, just like when we first met.
I told her to feel comfortable talking to me.
‘No matter how much I think about it, the gap between when we first met and when you found out my true identity is too big.’
So after I became somewhat close with her, I told her to just talk to me comfortably.
Narin also seemed a little uncomfortable, but quickly accepted it.
I asked if it was possible to avoid hearing that damn brother’s voice, but I was flatly turned down.
That’s just my fandom or something…anyway.
While I was thinking about that for a while, Narin brought me some snacks along with tea and cola.
“So is there anything you need me to do, Brother?”
I nodded toward Narin, who asked while handing me the tea.
“Yes. Could you please hack the CCTV for me?”
I briefly described what happened today.
“Hmm~ Okay!”
And then I could easily get her help.
***
A few days later.
After hearing that she had secured the footage and had done some editing, I went to her room.
“Ms. Narin. I came here because I heard you did all the editing.”
“I did everything you asked me to do! Want to take a look?”
Narin shakes the USB while smiling like that.
I plugged the USB into my computer and played a video.
‘I kind of skimmed over some of the dialogue, like the part where I saved Phantom Luna…’
“Hmm. I guess this is okay.”
Because the scene of the terrorist attack was the actual scene, the editing gave the impression that only a portion of the damaged footage was taken.
“So, can I really upload it, brother?”
She looked at me with a slight hint of caution.
“Yes, it doesn’t matter. Wasn’t that what Na-rin was doing in the first place?”
“No, that was more like a hobby of mine..Actually, I never thought I’d be able to do this again after coming under my brother…”
“From now on, I plan to manage the fans to some extent.”
Although maintaining fans is a bit of a hassle, it is somewhat necessary for me to gain recognition.
The Heroes’ side is an unusual fan club created with site security that cannot be easily breached.
‘If we just keep these guys, the association will feel threatened.’
Besides, there’s nothing special about maintaining fans.
What the fans want is for me to continue to act like I have been doing so far, that is, to continue to pretend like I have been doing so far.
That alone should be enough.
“Then I can upload it, right? Right? I’m uploading it?”
“Please upload comfortably.”
Well, this is just a normal terrorist video, so it doesn’t matter whether you upload it or not.
Still, it will help maintain some level of awareness.
“Ouch~!”
It’s been a while since we’ve had a teaser!
She laughed heartily, tapped away at her keyboard for a moment, and then uploaded the video.
“Huh?”
So when I put the video on the internet and saw the reaction,
I expressed my doubts at the unexpected reaction.
