The Japanese heroes withdrew, taking their wounded comrades with them.
I took Trickster, who was lying unconscious in the second floor hallway due to a broken limb, and returned to the room where Seo Na-young and Bae Yeon-hee were waiting.
The two people tilted their heads when they saw me come back looking the same as before I left the room.
“Why did you come back already?”
“Are you going to leave behind the one you’re holding in your hand? Just throw it aside here! I will be watching carefully with Bae Yeonhee.”
The truth was told to two people who did not know that the situation had already ended. I subdued Kang Da-kyung and the other executive who is not here.
Then the two people were very surprised.
“I thought it would at least show that I fought a battle… ”
“Hehe. It’s a good thing I decided to follow Ignis!”
Bae Yeon-hee reacted as if she couldn’t easily believe what I said, and Seo Na-young just seemed happy that her side won.
“Telekinesis was a bit tricky. Still, the victory was easier than I thought. It’s just that I was stronger.”
Bae Yeon-hee looked at the Trickster being held in my hands with his limbs hanging limply, and then he cut through the ice imprisoning his body and came out.
Seo Na-young, seeing that, opened her mouth and spoke.
“What?! Was it possible to get out this easily?”
“Because it was my superpower in the first place.”
Bae Yeon-hee, who answered so simply, looked up at me. It seemed like he had a lot to say, but his head was so busy that no words came out.
I reached out my hand to her.
“?”
“What are you doing, I’m not catching you.”
“Why are my hands suddenly… ”
Seo Na-young, who was next to her, answered Bae Yeon-hee’s questions.
“Eh?! Are you trying to scout the Ice Queen too?”
“uh.”
“Why? I’m a bit… Is it not enough to mention that you recruited me?”
Seo Na-young puffed out her cheeks and muttered. Rather than hating Bae Yeon-hee, it seemed like it was the fact that she was no longer the only villain I had been offered to recruit.
I retrieved the hand I had extended to Bae Yeon-hee and placed it on Seo Na-young’s head. That alone took the wind out of her cheeks.
“After fighting before, I think he has decent superpowers and isn’t that stupid when he’s thinking about leaving the organization. When you return to Korea, you will be living in a different place than before. Wouldn’t it be easier to adapt if you have at least one familiar face?”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“… I never said I would follow you, Ignis.”
When she saw us talking as if it had already been decided that Bae Yeon-hee would follow, she looked dumbfounded.
“Then you will live here for the rest of your life? Is there a way to return to Korea?”
“You can obtain at least a fake passport by using your remaining Yakuza connections. Or, another option is to stow away.”
“Do you really think they can make you a proper passport? Smuggling might be a possibility. You’ll have to live like a homeless person for a few days. But is there really a need to choose such a miserable method? If you’re stuck in a container or a fishing boat, you won’t be able to see the sun for a few days.”
“Wow.”
Next to me, Seo Na-young pretended to gag. Bae Yeon-hee, who glared at him, asked with a more calm expression.
“So you’re saying there is a way?”
“Of course I am. Otherwise, did you think they would just recruit Seo Na-young and leave her in Japan?”
There are many ways. This problem can be easily solved by hacking the airport system using Maria’s hacking abilities. As long as she had a passport that looked authentic to a human, fooling the system was easier for Maria.
If the Yakuza’s counterfeit passport that Bae Yeon-hee mentioned was used in that way, it would be possible to use it without being detected.
‘Or you can carry two people across the sea.’
Since it hasn’t been long since I got the souvenir, it seems difficult to fly while carrying a person, but considering my natural ability and Bae Yeonhee’s superpower, crossing the sea seemed possible.
Wouldn’t it be possible to freeze a little of the sea to create a foothold and use this ability to gain propulsion?
Of course, I could take a plane, but I didn’t want to go through all that trouble.
Bae Yeon-hee seemed lost in thought after listening to me. I gently urged her. I had a lot of free time, but as a villain, it was best for her to leave as quickly as possible.
“Aren’t you so relieved that the heroes have withdrawn? The Self-Defense Forces and police are already on their way to inspect the scene. If you procrastinate too much and your face gets caught, you’ll be in trouble.”
“I have a question.”
“What is it?”
Bae Yeonhee asked me with a stern expression.
“Ignis, you are working as a hero in Korea. In fact, his popularity is also great due to his characteristic of being the strongest male hero.”
“Yes.”
“But while meeting you directly, I did not feel that you had a special sense of duty as a hero. Most of the heroes I met were filled with an incomprehensible sense of duty or a sense of being the chosen people. ‘It can’t be done without me.’, ‘I am so great that I protect you, so praise me.’ The same intentions were clearly visible.”
“Maybe not all heroes think that way, but many heroes think that way. At least it won’t be easy to do hero work if you don’t have a sense of duty.”
“But you were different. When I first met you, you tried to kill me without hesitation. If the sign had fallen and I hadn’t gone back to save the citizens, I would have cut my head off.”
“That… Did you say that?”
To be honest, I couldn’t remember exactly how we fought during our first meeting. But since the person involved said so, it is probably true.
“Even if you are a hero, it is difficult to receive positive attention if you commit murder. Depending on the situation, he may be considered a villain right away. But you didn’t show any signs of worrying about it. And even for a moment, I accepted the offer of my boss, or Da-kyung Kang… When I saw you, you were a man closer to a villain than a hero.”
“… … .”
“Ignis, what is your real purpose? I don’t know what they are trying to achieve by recruiting two villains. If this fact were to become known, it would be difficult for you to move on as if nothing had happened.”
She said that and looked at me intently.
It seemed like they were trying to decide whether to follow me or not depending on the answer.
Seo Na-young also seemed to be curious about Bae Yeon-hee’s question and looked up at me, twirling her blonde twin tails with her fingers.
I shrugged and answered.
“Well, it’s just as you said. I’m not particularly interested in hero business cards.”
“As expected… ”
“Not interested?! Why?”
Bae Yeon-hee, who spoke, reacted as if she had expected it, but Seo Na-young looked surprised, as if she had no idea.
“It would be convenient to have a business card that says Hero. It’s easy to buy people’s favor, and the government officially recognizes that it’s okay to deal with villains. It’s just that I haven’t found a reason to throw away the hero position because it’s convenient, and I’m not obsessed with it. And the reason I’m recruiting you… ”
gulp…
Seo Na-young swallowed her saliva and looked up at me. Bae Yeon-hee also tried not to show it, but I could see that she was focusing all her attention on my mouth. For a villain, it was a pretty cute reaction.
“Because I just want to.”
“What?”
“What is that!”
Bae Yeon-hee reacts blankly and Seo Na-young gets upset as if she thought I was joking. I shook my head and continued speaking.
“Did you think of me as the shadowy figure behind a huge conspiracy?”
It was not an unfounded claim, as Kang Da-kyung was also deceived into thinking that she was a hero and was actually leading a villain organization. If her plan had worked, she could have swallowed Korea whole.
But I didn’t really feel the need to do that.
Sitting in a high position means having duties and responsibilities equal to one’s authority.
You may be greedy because you have a lot to gain from that position, but… It was good to see that there was almost nothing I couldn’t get as I had a ticket anyway.
And even now, no one can force me to do anything. The same was true for the president. By the standards of this world, my strength has already surpassed the strongest.
“All I want is to be free. Do what you want to do. That’s all. In addition, it would be nice if the safety of my people was guaranteed.”
“The safety of your people… ”
“It’s a man’s loyalty.”
Bae Yeon-hee seemed to find it funny that I was looking for a man in a world where men and women were reversed, and laughed.
Still, she seemed to like my answer and this time she reached out first.
“You must be the only man who talks about loyalty to the villain.”
“I’m actually a bit special.”
Wow~
He held Bae Yeonhee’s hand tightly and gave a strong handshake.
“Then let’s move quickly!”
widely!
Seo Na-young looked at Bae Yeon-hee with jealous eyes and grabbed my hand.
It was good to go, but there was something they couldn’t take care of.
“Wait a minute. I still have some left.”
“What’s left? What is left?”
With the two people looking at me with curious faces, I walked over to the ice where Bae Yeon-hee was trapped and kicked a piece of it with my foot.
puck!
Then, a villain hiding behind him appeared.
“Haha… under… ”
The guy who showed up with an awkward smile.
‘I need to take care of artifact materials wisely.’
First of all, I had to make all the artifacts before returning to Korea.
