by fnovelpia‘Just how far did these tentacles spread!?’
Seo Yoon-hee’s stomach was seething.
Thanks to the exchange, it was nice not having to hear about those tentacles for a while!
“..Where did you hear that?”
How did it spread that the news even reached Lily who lives in America!!
-Huh? You didn’t know, Unnie?
Lily’s voice was suspicious, as if asking how she could not know that.
I felt a chill down my spine at that nuance.
“How would I know? Isn’t it spread somewhere, like on an illegal site?”
-I saw it on your fan cafe?
“What..?”
At her innocent voice, Seo Yoon-hee’s thoughts stopped.
“…Isn’t something wrong?”
Did you see that video in Ice Queen’s fan cafe, Ice Garden?
Ice garden.
It was a fan cafe created by fans who were fascinated by Ice Queen’s unique pretty appearance and skills as a hero.
– Ice Queen always looks so pretty!
– Your Majesty! Thank you for protecting us today!
It’s a little embarrassing, but it’s a rare community where people always like you and never curse.
“Lily, where did you get it wrong..”
Seo Yoon-hee denied Lily’s words.
Clearly you must have mistaken it for another community.
Or, it was clear that I had seen posts sharing the situation in other communities.
‘Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense. Right?’
With trembling hands, she searched for her own fan cafe and entered it.
For a moment, a picture of a penguin holding a sign that says ‘Welcome!’ appears on the loading screen.
“This, what is this…”
Seo Yoon-hee couldn’t help but be shocked by the posts on the fan cafe.
To be honest, I didn’t come here often.
I feel sorry for the fans who love me, but I didn’t have time to worry about things like this.
But very occasionally, when she was tired or exhausted, Seo Yoon-hee would look around the fan cafe to gain strength.
It definitely was like that…
[Almighty Maker, protect me with eternal light. Almighty Maker, protect me with eternal light. Almighty Maker, protect me with eternal light…]
[Fuck it, it’s the Maker again. Now I have to worship! Fuck it, it’s the Maker again. Now I have to worship! Fuck it, it’s the Maker again. Now I have to worship!…]
[Maker, please give us our daily bread… Please! Please!! Please!!! Please!!!]
What on earth is this?
– Sister?
“..uh.”
Seo Yoon-hee was shocked by the state of the post.
I was barely able to come to my senses when I heard Lily’s voice right after.
“…So what about those…tentacles?”
– It’s in the best posts!
I wonder why that’s on the best posts list.
Her eyes fluttered, but Seo Yoon-hee took a deep breath and clicked on the post.
[Our Queen’s famous scene again avi.]
At first glance, it looks like a video of Ice Queen in action, but there are an unusually large number of comments.
‘Creak.. creak.. ugh, ugh..!!’
Let’s click on the post, and, sure enough, the Ice Queen’s moaning can be heard in the video.
– Even our queen’s tears are beautiful!!
– Ah! Maker, is he a god? Is he a god? Is he a god?
– The Queen, who showed us a side of herself that she had never shown to anyone before, as if it were a given to a man who was seeing her for the first time. The Queen, who had a hazy expression on her face as if she was happy even though her appearance was being broadcast live. Hehe. Hehehee. Ehehehehe.
– Please ruin our queen even more! You messed up MechaKucha!!!
“Crazy!”
Percussion!!
Seo Yoon-hee got goosebumps while reading the article.
She jumped up from her seat and threw her phone at the sofa.
“Ugh…haa…whoosh.”
-Sister?
She swept her arms down aimlessly.
‘Maker, what did this kid do to someone else’s fan cafe?’
And when she calmed down a bit, the emotion she felt was anger.
If you think about it, it was all because of that guy, the maker.
This is how the tentacle video spread and caused suffering in various places.
There was even an absurd rumor that he was a masochist because he flinched for a moment when the maker cursed!
What was so upsetting just now!!
‘And now the fan cafe is all ruined like this!!!’
“……”
-Oh, sister..?
Could it be because I felt uneasy in a situation where I couldn’t hear anything?
Lily called Seo Yoon-hee while keeping an eye on her.
“Liliya.”
-..Huh?
“There’s a guy who’s been treating my sister really badly lately.”
-Villain..?
“Yeah, a villain. A very, very mean guy who only knows how to run away. ”
A voice that is strangely affectionate for someone who usually calls herself Seo Yoon-hee.
‘what..’
The voice is definitely warm and has a smile on it…
For some reason, Lily felt that the current Seo Yoon-hee was scary.
“I lost my social image because of that guy…”
-……
“Why does that guy make my life so hard? Haha. Hahaha..haha. Ha.”
‘What, should I say something to comfort you..?’
A look of laughter, or rather, insanity.
The moment Lily tried to comfort her at that sight.
Boom!
A sound of something being struck was heard over the phone.
“Catch. Maker. I will catch you..”
-……
“Be sure to catch him, and be sure to put an end to this disgrace…”
Well, I guess I should just not say anything!
Lily decided to wait until she calmed down on her own, and soon got some cola and popcorn from the fridge.

“What’s going on? Astra.”
One day, while I was working normally at a cafe and doing simple tasks.
Maker headed to her office after receiving a sudden call from Astra.
“Are you here? Maker.”
Astra greets me with a slightly serious expression.
What’s going on? It looks pretty serious.
“The reason I called you today is because I want to give you a mission.”
“Are you talking about a mission?”
“Yes. I think it would be better for someone who has done it before to take over again.”
“If you’ve done it once, what mission are you talking about?”
It’s not like I’ve been assigned just one or two missions.
If you just say that, I won’t be able to understand, right?
Astra nodded and took something out of the drawer.
“Would you like to see this?”
“What is this..?”
It was a plastic pack.
It also contains pure white powder.
‘Pure white powder, and the mission I’ve been given.’
Putting the two clues together, I realized that I had only ever been assigned to a task like this once.
“Is this a power booster?”
“That’s right.”
A drug that not only enhances this ability, but also causes strong pleasure and addiction.
The drug is once again being released into the slums.
***
Ability booster.
This was my first mission as a villain executive.
‘It seemed like things were going well after we eliminated the Blue Scope gang that was clearly doing the smuggling.’
Was there a separate group behind the scenes that made the medicine?
Even so, I don’t understand why they are selling the drug again now.
“How effective is the medicine?”
“The effect is the same. It makes this ability stronger and makes you feel strong pleasure and addiction. ”
Astra uses her telekinesis to float the plastic bag and shake it back and forth for a moment.
She looked at me, holding the plastic bag in midair.
“However, in terms of performance, this medicine is said to be more toxic and stronger.”
“Hmm. Then there are two possibilities.”
When you think about it rationally, there are two possibilities.
“First, someone stole the drug and then developed a new drug that made the drug even more effective.”
Even for me, it would be nearly impossible to retrieve the medicine that had already been distributed.
The best I could do was shut down the smuggling operation so they couldn’t sell the drugs anymore.
I don’t know if anyone has ever used it in research without using drugs.
“Second. The first drug sprayed in the slums was for simple experiments.”
A kind of prototype that uses the slums as a testing ground.
The Blue Scope gang may have simply been there to receive and sell items to them.
‘If it’s really like this, it’s a little annoying.’
In this case, it means there is a backer, so it will not be easy to eradicate the drugs.
In addition, if there is a connection with Blue Scope, who will become a future S-class villain, there is a very high possibility that the person behind him is also an organization or person from the original work.
hmm…
“There is obviously no option to reject, right?”
“Oh my, you’re saying the obvious. This month’s command is right here.”
I guess so.
I smiled at her, as if I had expected that.
“How much damage has our side suffered?”
“There doesn’t seem to be any members of the organization addicted to drugs yet.”
“Do you plan to prevent it in advance this time?”
“Yes. We don’t want to have addicts like last time among the members of the organization.”
I listened to Astra’s words and sipped my tea calmly.
“It was definitely a big deal last time. Who knew that the drug that was only spreading in the slums would spread inside Eclipse too?”
“..It’s fortunate that it was discovered early. If it had been discovered later, the problem could have been worse.”
“That’s right, if the maker hadn’t revealed that it was because of the medicine, we would have been in big trouble, right?”
Thank you, Maker.
Astra remembered what had happened back then, and thanked me again.
“……”
note.
When you say it like that, my conscience pricks for no reason.
I pretended like nothing happened and sipped my tea.
And then I thought back on that time.
hmm.
‘Actually, I gave drugs to the members of the organization.’
To be exact, I was trying to get them to eat it, but anyway.
“..It’s nothing. Even though I was still a newbie, I was still an executive at Eclipse.”
“Maker..”
Wouldn’t it be okay if Astra didn’t know?
I continued my conversation with Astra, covering my shaking eyes with a smile.
