I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

Chapter 17

EP.17 EP2. test(1)

“Moa-san, good morning! Uncle Brad too!”

“Yes, Nella. Good morning.”

It’s been about a month since I’ve been in Shells Town.

As a neighbor to James, I also became friends with his daughter, Nella, in many ways.

No, to be honest, the boundaries between neighbors and family are blurring.

When I and James are away from work, the two of us are alone in their respective homes, so the time we spend together naturally increases.

“But Mr. James… … .”

“They say you’re focused on your work for the time being.”

That yangban still works day and night.

I think it’s because she’s trying too hard on a yangban who is about to retire, but Nella’s face was very bright, unlike before.

“Even though it’s a pity I couldn’t go to the entrance ceremony… … . It’s okay though. Because Moa is there now!”

“Fufu, is that so?”

Was it not bad to take comfort in my existence?

The boss drew a faint smile and narrowed the distance with Nella.

“I am also a stranger

In the environment, you get help in many ways. But after that, a place unknown to both of us… So from now on

Rather than getting help unilaterally, I think it is better to work together and overcome the crisis.”

Boss, talk, talk.

“So, Nella, I will depend on you a lot from now on, so if you too are struggling with strength, please lean on this body as much as you want.”

Frustrated by the authoritative attitude, the boss glanced at Nella with his little hand.

Nella looked down on her hand and shrugged.

Although he seemed very nervous, Nella rather smiled happily and reached to hold the boss’s hand with both hands.

“Come on, I beg you!”

The cheeks reminded of red in the dazzling eyes.

The current authoritarian attitude seemed to arouse admiration rather than suspicion.

Even adults, including James, think that children at this age are all like this… … . Well, it’ll be fine.

“Then let’s go slowly.”

“Ah yes!”

After that, the boss and Nella move forward.

However, the hands they had previously held did not fall apart, and they were connecting the two people who set foot on the school road.

That in itself would show that the bond between the two of them is strong.

The bond between the boss of the villain organization that has lost power and the child of a hero who is still ignorant… . If it wasn’t for the boss, it would have been considered ridiculous.

A villain and a hero can never and should never coexist.

Of course, I was also involved in that to save the boss, but… … . To be honest, it was cooperation based on the agreement of interests, not because I thought of them as real colleagues.

“Then, I will go.”

“I’ll be there, Uncle Brad!”

“Yeah, be careful.”

After separating from each other on the hill leading to the school, I turned my back on the two of them and walked towards the place I had planned.

Gradually, I got used to life in Shells Town.

Now is the time to focus on making money.

***

The place provided by the association was very spacious and comfortable.

Read at readwn.com

Moreover, since it provides almost free rent, it is not difficult to live, but it was estimated that such a special case would last for about half a year at the longest.

The association will report terrorism as small as possible, and the time for chaos to subside sooner.

Of course, getting out of the protection of the association is necessary to reduce the risk of being discovered, but the problem is that now there is a risk that my existence will be noticed by the villains.

Think about it.

An S-class hero who cleared up the situation and an E-class capable person who helped him catch only one A-class villain. Which one would be better as an object of anger and an example?

So, I have to keep in mind that I am now out of the association’s boso, and as such, I had no choice but to consider a safe base first.

A place where the security around you is stable, and if you notice something, you can immediately notice it… … .

“Is it money?”

Yes, you need money no matter what.

That was the reason I went to the job agency located in Shellstown now.

If you ask why there is a job agency in the hero’s residence… … . Well, it’s obvious. In the first place, the guys who do things like a hero are from Grade B or higher.

Reconnaissance and volunteer work are mostly what the C-class idiots who barely do pull-ups do. Occasionally, they catch criminals such as pickpockets and shoplifters, but they do not earn very well.

In the end, he said that in his spare time, he had no choice but to focus on a side job rather than a hero activity.

Of course, the level of C-level gift is higher than the hard labour, but when I occasionally encounter guys with hero tags in society, I can feel a bit of bitterness.

Yes, jjamjji is sad everywhere.

After entering the job agency, I said, “Let’s express our sincere condolences as we are from the same jjamchi.”

“Oh, you are Mr. Gingerbread!”

When I was filling out the paperwork to receive the job, the staff at the desk looked at me and started to know me.

What is this man, how do you know my name?

“Do you know me?”

“Yeah, actually, a while ago, a person with the name of Gingerbread asked me to give you a quest.”

“… … yes?”

If I come here, do you want me to take the quest?

No, the job agency I heard for the first time today picked me up and came to ask for a quest?

“Is this the Hero Association?”

Damn association bastards.

Nella’s dad also had to work day and night, and he came up with a policy to specialize in widowers in Pangea.

It is my great sin that I did not destroy the association at that time. Of course, at that time, I had no strength, but… … .

“No, it’s a request from the agency, not the Hero Association.”

“plan… … . yes?”

As I was muttering to myself, the staff corrected me and handed me a letter of recommendation located under the desk.

“I received a nomination request from Entertainment Spirit, an entertainment agency, would you like to try it?”

Spirit Entertainment.

It was a large entertainment company with a significant stake in Pangea’s entertainment industry.

***

entertainment industry.

In the present era, it was an industry that could never be separated from heroes.

Heroes are the ones that get the most attention in this day and age, and there is no way for them to be left behind by rich businessmen or the government.

Of course, there are people who don’t like being a hero doing clowns in front of people… Well, in the first place, isn’t modern society called capitalism, not honorism?

It is an unavoidable law for the protagonists of the times to get involved with money.

“But anyway, isn’t this too big… … ?”

I looked up at the building in front of me for a moment.

A tall building located on the edge of Shellstown. It was the headquarters of the new entertainment company ‘Entertainment Spirit’ that was established just five years ago.

No matter how uninterested in the entertainment industry, I was able to feel the magnificence of this spirit entertainment just by looking up at the building.

Even with capital investment, it took only 5 years to build a building this size in the core area of Pangea. Anyway, it means that you have a high level of discernment in recognizing talented people.

“Why did you send me a letter of recommendation from such an amazing place?”

Of course, even if the agency is related to the heroes, it is a place that focuses on using awareness rather than eliminating villains.

Of course, there is no need to be wary of the association’s approach, but I thought it was suspicious to ask them to come and find them without any other request.

Of course, there’s no way the yangbans, each of which are famous agencies, will hit the back of the head.

What worries me is who sent this letter of recommendation, and why did he have to pick me up and name me?

First of all, since it’s a place that recruits heroes, I think I’ve heard of something from the association… Damn, you’re not trying to put me on the stage to get some recognition, right?

“… … Shall we go in first?”

No matter what happened, I came all the way here because I regretted the money.

It’s a waste of time to suffer alone, so let’s make the final decision after we go in. As soon as I stepped inside, the office worker in the lobby burst into tears as soon as he saw me.

“Oh, you are here!”

“Ah yes. Receive a letter of recommendation… … .”

“There is not much time left, but you came just in time.”

“yes? Come on, wait a minute.”

“Come on, let me guide you. Come this way!”

The staff who hold my hand and guide me.

I felt puzzled about the situation in which I couldn’t understand English, but the staff did not answer that, just guiding me.

“Then I wish you good luck!”

After that, leave only me at the place I arrived at! and leaving the staff.

I stared blankly at the place where she had left, and then looked at the words written on the door in front of me.

[Entertainment Spirit – Bodyguard Recruitment Interview Room.]

“… … What is this?”

bodyguard.

It is a profession whose job is to protect someone, and common sense is that it is not necessary for heroes whose job is to protect someone.

But when it comes to standing in front of the public rather than fighting, the story is different.

At events and on stage, they are not dealing with a single villain, but tens of thousands of civilians.

However, in places where people gather, various problems arise, and some of them directly harm one’s personal life.

A hero’s direct response to this kind of situation causes a lot of problems.

So, they are less powerful than heroes, but they want to block such problems at the source by setting up people who can be trusted to some extent as bodyguards.

Yeah, so it makes sense for a hero agency to hire a bodyguard…

Why is this agency trying to entrust it to me?

“Oh, are you here for the bodyguard test too?”

As I entered the waiting room without knowing English, someone started talking to me.

A man with yellow hair and a pretentious smile with a soft impression. There was no other parasitic brother who had her chest open.

“Yeah, what. It seems so.”

“Hmm… … .”

A man snoring and clenching his chin.

Afterwards, as he looked up and down as if criticizing me, he burst into laughter.

“This, this, even people who seem insignificant will be able to apply here… … . No matter how broad the recruitment guidelines are, this is a bit harsh.”

what? What did this bastard say now?

Do you think I’m fine?

“Yes, thank you for the compliment.”

“Fufu, I understand my fraction… … uh huh? compliment?”

“Isn’t that a compliment?”

The man who looked at me with eyes wondering what kind of sickness this is.

But from my point of view, I was more than grateful for the response I have now.

Think about it, am I not in a position to hide and disguise myself even though I am a villain?

This is the side that gets in trouble when a guy who suddenly appears in such a yard reacts like, ‘This bastard is suspicious, something seems to be working!’

“Ah, hahahaha. okay. Yes, if you accept that, I have nothing to say.”

A man who smiles lightly when he accepts it without thinking so much.

Maybe I was pretending to be cool, thinking I was just trying to pass it on.

Whatever it is, it’d be nice if it didn’t bother me. She immediately took her attention away from him, and glanced back at the people in the waiting room.

“Fufu.”

And the man I had had an argument with before took a seat next to me.

What the f*ck, why do you keep flirting with me?

“What’s your business?”

“No, well, it’s just that you don’t seem very familiar with places like this. I would like to offer my body and small favors, thinking that I might need someone to explain a little bit… … .”

When I said something, I was just arguing with my good taste.

But right now, I just got a letter of recommendation and just came here.

As I didn’t know what this agency was asking for, I needed someone to explain a little bit.

“… Well, if you do me a favor, I should be grateful.”

“Fufu, that’s fine. I am willing to have mercy on you, my little one.”

Nei Nei, this lowly body must listen to the explanation of the noble body.

“Then let me ask you a question before I go into the explanation. What do you think a bodyguard needs?”

It’s a necessary skill for a bodyguard.

Well, if it’s a light question and answer, a textbook answer would be fine.

“Everything to make sure the target is protected?”

“Whoa, half is the correct answer.”

“… … half?”
