EP.25 EP2. Bluff

The pursuit of justice is the right thing to do.

Disruption of it means the collapse of society, and those who live in society must obey justice that encompasses laws and morals.

But in fact, everyone will know.

Justice is not a concept that originally existed like truth, but it is called justice because everyone made such a promise.

“Justice… … . To be honest, it’s a cowardly concept.”

“Yes? Justice is cowardly?”

“Why, the whole world?

Guys who call themselves heroes are rushing around every day, right? Five to ten people… … . Alone with the guys who rushed around like that

When you see a villain you’re dealing with, don’t you feel sympathy for him or her?”

“No, that’s because it’s a superhero… … .”

“Doesn’t it make you cowardly to hit a taguri if it’s all about the dynasty?”

At first glance, you may think that this is wrong, but unfortunately, the era we live in is different from before the cataclysm.

Evil exists and is close to everyone’s daily life, and since the shape is clear, there is no choice but to exist as a hero.

What was once considered an ideal was brought to reality, so what’s wrong with wielding violence and pushing numbers against those who threaten me?

“You don’t have to follow ethics and morals for things called evil. What if that wasn’t a cowardly concept?”

“… … When you say that, you seem to be saying that justice is wrong.”

“It’s not always right. In fact, even historically, the concept of justice has been constantly changing.”

Although it may be a barbaric and ignorant method from the present point of view, was it not justice for the people of that time?

However, the modern definition also has its roots in the past.

just very little.

I just believe that right now is the right thing to do because it has changed so that people are not aware of it.

“And being a hero… … . What might be wrong and passed on to future generations is right now.”

Even what you think is wrong, you must follow that opinion if you believe everyone is right.

You have to sacrifice small things for the maintenance of society, and you have to be able to overlook the past as it is past.

In this way, he gradually realizes the order of the world, compromises with reality, and becomes reborn as a being who looks at things that are excluded from it.

The heroes I’ve seen are usually like that.

“But the problem is that you are greedy even though you are in a position to stand on the side of justice.”

Unlike this foolish woman in front of me.

“Greed, you say?”

“Definitely a hero.

It’s something that needs to be revived by people’s expectations, but… alone, by killing the enemies in front of you, you save people, and in addition to the next

Don’t you think it’s too greedy to want your clothes not to be torn just because you’re preparing for a performance?”

“But that’s what being a hero is. you have to do all of that… … .”

“It’s an ideal, not a reality.”

No matter how much power you are born with, aren’t you just an individual after all?

Still, enveloped in excessive responsibility, she was struggling to take responsibility for too many things in her hand.

He tries to bear everything in front of him, struggles when he has to sacrifice one thing, he can’t do it, he leaves regrets about the past and repeats despair…

“It’s more than what people expect of you, but after all, there are limits to what you can do.”

If such a thing repeats itself, it eventually collapses into the harsh reality. Those who become idols must first learn to compromise with reality.

As long as it is an imperfect being (human) that enforces justice.

Feeling that everything you do has to be perfect is not an obligation, it’s a compulsion.

“Tell me to rest

I can’t, but it’s not good to work too hard just because you want to be a hero. When you take a break like now, take time to take a break and look after yourself.

You have to have it, measure your level, and work while keeping the line you can handle.”

Yeah, most of the heroes I’ve seen were those guys.

Realizing my limitations, I strive to save only what I have in my hands, and entrust myself to the field in the glory created by those who have already saved me.

In such a subject that is enveloped in the comfort of ‘the paradise they created’, they try to impose the correctness that comes from it even on those outside the paradise.

‘You guys have already been defeated, so how can you light a candle at this moment of glory without conforming to the obvious fact!?’

Even the strongest hero is fed up with such a disgusting euphoria, but will his fate change if he is a newcomer who has not yet reached it?

Now, this is just a wanderlust. One day she will realize her reality and she will walk the same path as him.

As a symbol of that detestable hope.

“If you are a hero, you must first learn to compromise with reality… … .”

For whatever reason, as long as she aims to become a hero, it is inevitable that she and I will be hostile.

Therefore, the current advice should end at the level of teaching such a cruel reality.

“That’s not what Uncle would say if you think about it, is it?”

The moment the story is about to end, the question suddenly comes back.

Unknowingly, I turned to Kana with a blank expression on her face.

“Isn’t that what I mean?”

I’m sure it’s funny to say that I know about heroes because I’m a villain, but doesn’t she know that I’m a villain?

“Hey, you were running around trying to save people during the day before.”

No, what she is doing now is not out of such suspicion.

At that time, when I went around the burned down site to save people.

“I kept looking. Even after I killed the villain, I was running around the scene to save people.”

Recalling that time, Kana narrowed the distance between me and reached out to my body.

As if caring for my wounds that have now been erased, with a careful touch.

“At that time, even at the amusement park, today… … . Even though he wasn’t born with strength like me, he worked harder than anyone else to save people.”

His hand felt more reluctant than embarrassed.

No, I can even feel the disgust of having to shake this hand off right now.

“I was saving people without taking care of my own body. No matter how fast you recover, you will feel pain, and you won’t be as strong as me… … .”

Don’t get me wrong.

As a villain, the best mercy I can offer to civilians is to stand by and stand still, but I have good reason to reach out to save them.

Now I’m disguised as her manager, so if she doesn’t do my part, I’m in trouble too.

“Personally, I thought it was cool. The man at that time was…”

Yet she was reading goodwill from my actions.

From that action that was nothing but smoke.

In the action taken only as a disguise and as an extension of the plan, never…

decisively. what I shouldn’t be

“You really were like a hero.”

No, it’s not like that.

Don’t say that to me.

I… … .

I’m not the person you think I am

It can’t be like that.

Rather, it is a hateful position.

“just.”

I hate myself for not being able to vomit such disgust out of my mouth.

“It’s just basic. like that.”

Because he was too weak compared to the executives in the organization.

I feel disillusioned with my weak self, who can’t reveal myself proudly, hide my true self, and have no choice but to put out an abomination of lies.

“……”

Unable to suppress such emotions, my body trembles, and I can feel Kana’s face gradually hardening as she stares at me.

Did you feel that something was touching you?

Yeah, I’d rather you think about it that way.

If this topic continues… … .

I might throw off the mask of ‘Gingerbread’ regardless of my mission.

“Ah, the basics?”

The atmosphere suddenly changed while feeling such a conflict.

When I came to my senses and turned around, I saw Kana snoring, leaning her shoulders on the bath cradle.

“Anyway, everything I’ve said so far is easy for you. I can’t even do that, so I’m an idiot who doesn’t know the basics.”

This is the usual tension.

Innocent yet naive, on the other hand, an attitude without hesitation that even feels witty.

“I got it. You idiot, you idiot.”

But for some reason, a reflex snort came out as soon as I saw it.

To the extent that I feel like an idiot for being nervous before.

“Then let me teach a fool~ What is the basics that you think.”

Kana, who spoke in a lighter tone, quickly stood up and began to stand in front of me, who was still sitting there.

Except for a wet towel, he was in a state of being naked.

Still, there is no shame on her face.

“The man thinks… … . What is a real hero?”

Because it’s not just a weak woman here.

Even though he is still inexperienced, he still has the heart to be reborn as a true hero… … . A follower of justice who has an embers that will never be extinguished even if shaken.

How could we end the conversation here seeing such momentum?

“… … ha.”

In my mind, I just wanted to go back to tears, but ironically, the problem was that I too was immersed in the conversation with her too much.

Damn, I’m so accustomed to lying, I’ve been so vigilant.

“Don’t take it too seriously. Just take it as light advice.”

“Really? I promised you!”

“Hey, don’t stand up. You can see it below!”

“What if you see it? I saw your breasts too, and you can see some of me too.”

“If you don’t say that… … .”

By the time she covered her eyes in embarrassment, she had already left.

Watching him run, he doesn’t even wipe off the water on his body and looks like he’s diving into the bed linen.

No matter how inexperienced you are, you have to do what you can to do without iron.

I thought about that for a moment, and even that was swallowed by the self-help that leaked out of my mouth.

“… … No, I am immature as well.”

A lie is something that must be blended into the subtle truth.

Even though I shouldn’t be telling lies on such a serious topic, I created this situation without being able to properly control my emotions.

I’ve gotten used to lying. It’s a mistake I didn’t believe in.

However, the reason why the mind is not so troubled is simple.

Officers I know.

Perhaps, in a situation like the one we have now, we would have reacted in a similar way.

***

‘Come back strong.’

Yep, they’ve been saying that all along.

In fact, it is close to stalking the enemy, but what they originally sought was ‘proof and surrender’, not indiscriminate slaughter or plunder.

If they enter an affair and cannot stop them, then the prevailing justice in this world is wrong…

To prove it, they tried to defeat those in high positions, and for that reason, they sometimes defended and acknowledged the budding heroes.

If you have a high ideal, don’t make an exception to that attitude.

Justice must be broken in a state where they believe they are perfect, and then their followers will lose hope and despair.

Of course, it was not out of leisure that I was pursuing such a path, even though I had no strength.

To be honest… Yeah, it’s probably nothing more than the bluff of an idiot who is still looking up at a spot that doesn’t even fit the fountain.

With such a body, I cannot proudly reveal myself, and I have no choice but to live in disguise in this heinous society.

If I had been more confident, I would have revealed my existence to this society, but now I can’t protect my master if I don’t do this.

– My father. It’s nice to see you after a while.

The object to be protected was waving towards me right now in the smartphone in my hand.

Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the boss.

Was this the first time in three years that we’ve been apart for so long?

-ah! Uncle Brad! Do you see well here?

Still, she was not worried because the place she was currently staying in was one of the safest areas on the continent.

At least if you don’t find out that you’re a villain, it’s safest to be with a hero.

“Yes, Nella. Are you having a good picnic?”

-yes! Everyone is resting at the dormitory now. My classmates are asking me to have a pillow fight… … .

-Whoa, it’s often said that it’s not enough to deal damage, but that’s why you don’t have to worry about getting hurt even if you swing it with all your might. Wouldn’t it be perfect for Dalian?

“Look over there… … . our daughter? Can’t you overdo it?”

Whoa, who would have thought that the boss of an evil gang would get into a pillow fight amongst the kids?

Still, I was nervous so I wouldn’t overdo it, but the boss who looked at me only showed kindness.

– My father.

Yes, still in a soft voice.

-Is your work going well?

I just want to worry about my safety more than myself.

I wanted him to pay attention to the boss side, but I felt that such a voice was somewhat comforting now that I was exhausted mentally and physically.

“Yeah, what… … . First of all, we have decided to close the contract by today, so tomorrow we will be able to go home in peace.”

– Then you’d be lucky. I hope that each other can finish their work safely and return home.

After finishing the conversation and video call, I put my smartphone away and glanced around the scene where I was standing.

A grand castle that looks like something out of a movie.

In fact, it was used as a movie set, but it was also used as a banquet hall for occasional large-scale events.

A table full of banquets displayed in the garden in a dazzling atmosphere. Its moisture and taste are reaching far beyond any high-end buffet.

“… I’m not a top star for nothing, is this?”

I said this was also small.

In the midst of wandering around such a magnificent site, I took the time to think about why I came to such a place.
