by fnovelpiaA research lab that is completely falling apart.
The lab was easier to destroy than expected, as it was hiding in a slum without proper security facilities.
‘Yeah, you should have been more careful about security.’
Now, I turned my gaze away from the building that had no shape left.
“I think it would be better to disperse here.”
“That would certainly be good.”
Even if it was a slum, if there was this much noise, there was a high possibility that a hero would come.
So, I think it would be best for us to part ways at this point.
“..Now, are you done with everything here?”
Woochi closes his mouth slightly and then looks at me with a smile as if nothing happened.
“Yes.”
The ability booster that was the goal is unlikely to come out in the future since the lab is gone.
The mission I received from Astra has already been completed.
‘There is no reason to stay here anymore.’
“Then it’s goodbye.”
Woochi looked at me with a strange expression.
..What is this? Does this feel like a high school graduation ceremony?
I felt like I was getting goosebumps for no reason.
But anyway, Woochi continued speaking little by little.
“It was a short time, but it was fun. Your Majesty.”
“……”
As he said, it was a short time, but a lot happened.
From the moment we first met, that little brat has been following me around.
They caught the researcher who was selling drugs and made him gay.
Finally, even blowing up the research lab.
…
Did you have any fun?
“I think it was a good idea to chase after the young master!”
I nodded my head in agreement with his words.
Uchi taps my shoulder hard.
“..That’s fortunate.”
“When will I ever have such a spectacular experience?”
Woochi laughed and turned his gaze to look at the collapsed research lab.
“Well, actually, sometimes I think, is there such a bastard in the world!!”
What the heck is this kid?
“I think it is clear that Do-ryeong is a good person and that he cares for the weak!”
Woochi smiled brightly and turned his gaze away from the laboratory.
I take a moment to glance at the girl next to me.
Uchi looked at me again and nodded.
‘..I think there’s some kind of misunderstanding again.’
It seemed that Uchi thought that my destruction of the laboratory was an act of goodwill.
‘…Okay. This is the last one, so I guess I’ll just let it be misunderstood.’
“Okay, goodbye.”
I nodded my head in greeting.
“Oh, by the way, your highness. What is your name?”
The moment I was about to leave, Uchi called out to me.
“When you leave like this, even if it’s a bit awkward to say, how about at least saying your name?”
His words made me hesitate for a moment.
In this chaotic situation, I can’t say the maker’s name, and I can’t say a name that reminds me of my real name.
“Jack. You can call me Jack.”
That’s why I often used my foreign name in my past life.
There was no need to tell me your real name in the first place, so this should be enough.
“Goodbye, Jack!”
“Oh my, aren’t you going to say hello to me?”
“You should just disappear from my sight quickly.”
“Be spicy~”
“Goodbye, my lord!”
Uchi ignored the traitor1 and waved at me with a bright smile.
I also chuckled at the sight and waved back.
He left with the traitor 1 and the girl.

“Brother.”
A deserted cafe.
As I opened the door with the sign [Close] written on it and went inside, Gayeon came running towards me.
“Come on in.”
“I’m back.”
When I opened my arms, Gayeon naturally came into my arms.
I smiled and patted her head.
“Are you done with the work?”
“Yes, it’s done now.”
Let’s have a little bit of a friendly conversation between Gayeon and me.
“……”
Hug.
I felt something tug at the hem of my top and turned my head to see the girl looking up at me.
“..Hmm?”
Could it be because I suddenly turned my gaze away while we were talking?
Gayeon turns her head to follow my gaze.
Gayeon looked at the girl with strange eyes.
“Brother.”
She looks at me with a questioning expression.
I answered her questions calmly.
“Your new colleague.”
“Are you a colleague?”
Gayeon looked at me with a quizzical expression.
And then she looked back and forth between me and the girl.
“I’ll accept it specially.”
Gayeon placed her hand on his waist and confidently gave permission.
‘Thank you very much.’
“What’s your name?”
“net..?”
The girl looks at Gayeon with bewildered eyes, perhaps because she was suddenly spoken to.
“Um, ugh…”
Oww…
The girl seemed to hesitate for a moment, then shook her head.
And then the girl hid behind me.
‘You don’t want to tell me?’
Judging by the way he kept gaping at me, I didn’t think he wanted to tell me anything.
Then why…ah.
Come to think of it, he was a test subject.
If you were called by your number, you would have been called, but it’s likely that you wouldn’t have been called by your real name.
‘It may even not have a name at all.’
First of all, since you seem sensitive about names, I think we should change the subject.
I opened my mouth looking at the girl and the traitor1.
“It’s late today, so let’s just rest for a day.”
“Are you going to rest?”
Then, the traitor 1 looked at me with a questioning expression.
What’s the problem?
“Isn’t this the main base where Jack is active?”
‘I haven’t revealed my true identity yet.’
Now I know what Traitor 1 is thinking.
“This is where I do my hobbies, not exactly my main place.”
“Yes? Then…”
“Actually, I am active in an organization.”
I took off my hat and mask and put on a half mask over my face.
Then, as if he recognized my appearance, the traitor1’s eyes opened slightly wide.
“You..?”
“Hello. I am Maker, an executive of Eclipse and a class A villain.”
“This, Eclipse?”
Traitor 1 opened his mouth slightly in surprise when he saw me.
***
That night.
“Mr. Jack?”
“Please call me Maker.”
I knocked on the door where Traitor 1 was resting and called him.
“Can I come in?”
“Yes, of course. I just couldn’t sleep.”
Squeak..
Traitor 1, who had been glancing at me, soon smiled and opened the door.
“By the way, that’s really amazing.”
“What do you mean?”
“Mr. Maker’s true identity. I didn’t know he would move in Eclipse..”
As I sat down on the chair, a traitor1 started boiling water in a coffee pot in the corner.
Surely it must be strange from his perspective, a large villain organization suddenly showing its teeth.
“There was an addict in our organization too.”
“..This medicine was only sold in the slums.”
“I caught the Blue Scope gang.”
“Ah.”
Only then did he seem to understand the situation and covered his head.
“…Why did it flow in there.”
It was I who led the drugs into the organization…
anyway.
“Well, isn’t it too late to regret it?”
“That’s true.”
The research lab that was already researching the ability booster was completely destroyed, and all the researchers inside were buried alive.
Traitor 1 calmly took a sip of the coffee he had made.
“Are you going to kill me?”
And then, he stares at me with a calm look.
‘To be honest, it’s pretty much out of date now.’
There is no more information to be obtained.
In the first place, I was planning on killing him after this was over.
Crunch.
I activated my ability and aimed my gun at him.
“I think it’s natural.”
Traitor 1 took a sip of his coffee, seeming calm.
“Even if I helped you in the end, it was half-assed and I’ve done too many bad things…”
..No, you’re dying because you’re gay.
“This is something I can’t even eat. I was blinded by my achievements, so I hurt many people. I was even assigned to a main project, but I ended up getting demoted and this is how I ended up.”
Could you please stop suddenly going into reminiscence?
Somehow I feel like I have to listen to the last words until the end.
“..I’m sorry for talking so much, but it’s pointless. As expected, when you’re about to die, you tend to talk a lot.”
“Do you want to live?”
“Do you want to live a little more and experience more pleasures? Of course, the Maker must be merciful.”
Unfortunately, I was thinking of killing him.
‘It’s not like they’re just trying to kill you for some ridiculous reason like being gay.’
He was too variable.
When I bring in researchers as my colleagues, there are limitations to what they can do alone, and above all, they lack trust.
Because if you bring them in as Eclipse researchers, they might run away with all the information.
It’s not like he saved someone from a life-threatening situation, it’s just a simple relationship between a hostage and a kidnapper.
It was a relationship that was enough to make you think differently later on.
‘It’s a bit of a shame to throw away Z-Bio’s information and my value as a senior researcher…’
It’s not like there aren’t any people who are better than him.
I aimed my gun silently, with an unchanging attitude.
Then, perhaps because he sensed my feelings, Traitor 1 closed his eyes and prepared for death.
“Well, dying like this isn’t so bad.”
Around that time, it felt like we had both sorted out our thoughts to some extent.
The moment I was finally about to pull the trigger.
Boom!
“Okay, let’s go to sleep!!”
Kaang!!
‘This is crazy!’
A young girl ran through the door in an instant, crushing the gun with her powerful front paws.
