I Was Purged From the Villains Union

48 – If I had held out my hand then… 1

“Ugh….”

Extreme fatigue that weighs down the whole body

In it, she began to force open her eyes, desperately asking for a break.

‘I can’t fall like this… like this…”

My eyesight is blurry due to so much fatigue.

But at this moment.

She couldn’t close her eyes comfortably even in her dying spirit.

The match with ‘that woman’ that she put all her heart into

Now that she can’t remember how it happened, she wanted to quickly figure out the current situation, She

She had the idea that if somehow she didn’t get her victory in her hands, she’d have to somehow keep her spirits together and deliver her final blow to him.

While she thought so, Shin-hye tried to forcefully move her body, which was difficult for her to lift a finger.

But right after that…

“Ah….”

A scene that can be seen with her eyes slightly turning her head.

The figure of the beautiful girl who is being supported by Yuri while lying on the floor.

As she gazed at this, a faint smile automatically began to form on Shinhye’s lips.

‘I did it… uh… I… I won… Uh… I broke the wall… I broke that hard wall…’

The hard wall that gave her one moment of despair to her again.

The fact that she finally overcame it and overcame it began to fill her heart with deep joy, and at the same time, her consciousness began to fade quickly like a candle that went out in her relief.

But…

‘… Uh?’

The next moment, when the tension was released, I finally started to recognize one fact.

It is… The man who is standing in the posture of hugging the princess while holding her body at this moment… It was Han Doyoung’s appearance.

‘!!.. Ah.. No.. Now.. Wait.. Wait.. This.. What is this?.. Uh.. Why does this man..”

Something to the point of rekindling the mind that had gone into a stupor for a moment.

As soon as she recognized it, Shin-hye’s face started to turn bright red.

‘What.. What is this feeling.. Something like this.. I’ve never felt it before..’

It is a feeling that makes you feel overwhelmed in many ways simply by recognizing that you are being held in the arms of a man.

Embarrassment or humiliation.. An intense feeling that is on a different level from those things.

It was as hot as a blazing fire, and at the same time as warm as the warm sunlight of spring.

It was sweet and luscious like chocolate.. It was such a feeling.

The man’s behavior as he carefully hugged himself who couldn’t even move a finger like this,

At this moment, Shinhye… Was making a fact that she had been ignoring so clearly.

‘I thought this… It had nothing to do with me… But no way… No way this… This is really…’

The truth that is still hard to accept even though you are beginning to recognize it yourself.

Feeling deep confusion in the midst of it, Shinhye tried to think about this problem in more detail, but…

‘Ah… ‘

In her next moment, her exhaustion was so strong that she couldn’t stand it any longer, and finally forced her to lose her mind…

The thought of one important fact that was complicating her mind at this moment was also put off for a while.

I can feel it even at the last moment..

With the afterimage of that man’s warm touch deep in my heart…

“… Uh?”

Late night.

When Minerva came to her senses, what she saw was the unfamiliar shape of the ceiling.

It is not the yellow ceiling that she has seen while living with Yuri, but the ceiling covered with neat white tiles.

In response, Minerva began to stand up from her seat, feeling a throbbing pain all over her body.

‘Is this… A hospital?..’

An intravenous drip on the wrist and a hospital bed. And the pungent smell of medicine.

Through this, Minerva, aware of the situation she was in, gently wrapped her palms around her head, where she still felt a resounding pain.

However, at this moment.

Apart from the act of wrapping her head around her to suppress her pain.

What was giving Minerva the greatest pain right now was neither her limbs screaming in pain from her muscles nor her throbbing headache.

‘I lost… This me… Just… Just for a kid like that…’

A scene that still lingers in her mind.

Her little girl, who was hanging from her ceiling and showered her with her barrage.

Recalling that, Minerva began to tremble in pain as she was seized with a sense of defeat that was more painful than she could have imagined.

When she first started, she was the one who went into battle with her honesty and lightheartedness.

I heard that the opponent is quite strong, but even so, he is just a kid who is not even an official hero.

She immediately thought that as she was the one who was on equal footing with her father, the Thunder Force, she would be able to kill the little boy in front of her with her hands, no matter how weak it was.

But .. The result was a defeat that she had not expected, after a bloody battle, which gave her Minerva the feeling of being hit in the back of the head in an unexpected way.

The fact that her opponent was a stronger enemy than anyone could have imagined for a young girl, and the fact that she was at a disadvantage due to the nature of her abilities, didn’t matter to her now.

The important thing is, just a few weeks ago, she was the strongest S-class villain in the Villain Alliance and the commander of the corps.

She held the title of Athena and commanded her world.

Now, it was the fact that he had strategized as if he knew that he was in a position where he knew only a little boy who wanted to be a hero.

“Ha… hahahaha… Ahahahahaha…”

While clearly recognizing that fact, Minerva began to let out a laugh that was so disheartening.

At the same time…

At this moment, a deep feeling of remorse began to automatically flood into Minerva’s heart.

‘How…How did I end up like this?

The alliance of villains collapsed, and they were chased by those who were once colleagues,

In the end, she managed to extend her life while hiding her identity due to the side effects of the drug, but in return, Minerva lost so much of her original mighty power that she was now defeated by a kid.

About the current situation, which is so miserable compared to the brilliant days of the past, Minerva began to suffer with a deep sense of shame.

‘If… if I… had sided with him then. If he hadn’t ignored it when he asked for help… Things wouldn’t have gone this far…’

After all, everything started from that day.

That day, because she did not reach out her helping hand to the man who was unfairly flocking to her…

Although she has always been helped by her, she was seized by momentary fear and ended up turning away from him..

If Minerva had said just one word for him at that time, the Alliance of Villains would not have collapsed due to infighting, and her situation would not have fallen to the bottom like this.

Minerva begins to have tears in her eyes as she regrets her own foolish choice.

Then…

– Clap!

“!…”

The next moment, at the sudden sound of the door opening, Minerva hurriedly wiped away her tears and turned her gaze towards the source of the sound.

Shortly thereafter, she began to see a boy in her eyes.

The moment she saw him, Minerva felt as if his insides were burning black, but she forced a smile on her lips and said to him.

“… Ah.. Seo… Senior. Are you here?”

Apart from her actual age, a boy she calls her senior for the time being as she is one year older than her now.

To be precise, Yuri, who had a similar relationship with her friend, called her senior, so she just called her accordingly, but Minerva started acting as her junior again.

‘Come to think of it… I heard that this guy won against that guy named Choi Choi. That’s right, this guy might be more of a monster than I thought…’

While thinking about that, Minerva tried to focus on the scene in front of her while suppressing her complicated feelings for now.

And, looking at her like that…

That boy

Minerva’s clique leader, whose name is Han Doyoung, spoke to her in her calm voice.

“Are you feeling better?”

“Yes.. I’m fine now. Rather than actually getting hurt, it was just overdoing it.”

“Yeah.. That’s a relief.. Well, you’ve been giving me one edge since before.”

“… Yes?”

The next moment, Han Do-young talks about something unusual.

At this, Minerva began to feel the false mask she had been trying so hard to put on her face momentarily cracked…

Looking at her like that, Han Doyoung said in her calm voice.

“So… How does it feel to be defeated by a kid? Athena.”
