I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.59 EP3. later talk

[The largest cruise ship in Pangea, the Titanic, sank.]

The news quickly spread throughout Pangea, and eventually caused a stir in society.

One of the biggest facilities in Pangea was devastated.

As it is a place where businessmen, wealthy people, and politicians have also boarded, the social impact will never be small.

[This incident is a reminder that the government officials have been neglected!]

[The fact that the whole villain forces are left until they infiltrate the ship. What was the crime of the crew of the Titanic who trusted them to operate the ship!?]

The shouts of the debaters from the TV turned on in the dark room.

On the PC that was raised next to him, news and articles from SNS linked to him were being displayed every month.

The sinking of the cruise ship, which had been heavily invested, caused fluctuations in stock prices, and the resulting economic turbulence made citizens feel quite uncomfortable.

The protests condemned by the bereaved family further intensified such public opinion, and eventually the political circles brought up past events and criticized the current government extensively.

[Even in Hero Land]

Hundreds of people died. In the Heroine Contest, none other than a lot of heroes turned into villains! nevertheless

The association insisted that all the news be reduced and reported.]

[What would be the reason? You are trying to blind people’s eyes and ears because you’re on a topic that you don’t even have the ability to manage!]

[Now I have to admit it. The unified government of Pangea is corrupt, and the associations under it are incompetent!]

But can those who make such heated arguments be called justice?

For them, those who have already secured their place are merely competitors.

Accidents and disasters that are not intertwined are merely a means to highlight the incompetence of the manager.

The public instigated by it rages like a fire and shakes society, and in the darkness that spreads from it, someone moves to take advantage.

This has been repeated over and over again on this continent.

Even after that, the process will continue without change, and the tumultuous commotion as if the continent was about to collapse will finally be quiet.

‘It would be unreasonable to say this is such a revolution.’

Yes, for now, this is just a process to create an opportunity.

To create confusion as soon as possible, and to achieve what you want in the process of destruction… … .

“boss.”

A voice came from outside the room while I was pondering those thoughts alone.

Seol Hwa-ran turned off the TV and PC to listen to him and called out his name.

“… Yes, tell me Gigantes.”

S-class villain Gigantes.

A villain who formed Pandemonia together, and a loyal subordinate who is still active as an aide to me at this moment.

“I came here to report on a previous raid, but are you okay?”

“… I’m tired right now, so please keep it short.”

“Yes, then.”

After that, Gigantes continued to report in a calm voice from outside the visit.

In addition to the harvest obtained from the raid on the cruise ship, the contents consisted mainly of information not covered by the media.

As it is the largest cruise ship, it has obtained considerable resources.

The things earned from this will surely help a lot in future operations, and furthermore, the notoriety that has grown due to this incident will be a great help in attracting many villains and increasing their power.

“… How many people did not return from this operation?”

However, my mouth opened when I realized that the part I was most concerned about was missing from the report.

Gigantes answered the question reluctantly after hearing the question.

“It is 20% of the whole.”

“…a lot of people have died.”

“You don’t have to worry. Most of them are newcomers who have prepared to fill the number of heads. There are plenty of people who can replace them.”

Unlike Seolhwaran, who was confused, Gigantes showed no concern.

As if he didn’t know that the person he served was from the bottom line.

“… … boss.”

No, no matter what, his attitude as a villain might be the right answer.

Calling it a weakness in itself to set restrictions on actions while regretting the past.

That is something that should never be allowed for a villain who cannot rely on society.

“Eat your heart out. In future operations, more comrades will be killed.”

How much less should a leader who leads a faction take such an attitude?

Seol Hwa-ran, who had her heart set on such a loyalist’s advice, bowed her head and answered quietly.

“I know.”

“… … Then I will leave.”

– Thump, thump.

The sound of heavy footsteps comes from outside the door and then goes away.

Seol Hwa-ran, realizing that the popularity had completely disappeared, got up from her seat, and then slowly moved to her bed.

Stuffed dolls lying on a bed in a dark room.

It may be seen as a cute hobby for her age, but what was painted on her face as she touched the doll was nothing more than sadness.

Moreover, I use the doll as a catalyst to recall my memories.

‘It’s okay, you don’t have to be afraid.’

In an era where children who have lost their parents were common, a child who accidentally entered the same facility and became friends.

In his arms, he always had a rabbit doll given by the people who managed the facility.

At first, she was a child who cried like herself, but after holding the doll, the only thing that remained in her memory was that her crying had evaporated.

‘Didn’t the uncles also give you delicious candy when you’re done? I’m sure good things will happen if you just follow the instructions!’

Did you feel that even courage was being blessed from him?

The child would always comfort the children, including herself, while hugging the doll.

It’s only a short time when it’s hard.

Although they didn’t choose anything, they still met here.

‘After this is over, we’ll play again. Understand?’

Yes, the friendship that was formed from a young heart at that time.

The main axis must have been built with that child as a starting point.

Just by feeling the presence of such a friend, I gradually felt a sense of relief.

‘A-03, failed.’

When I woke up, the voice of a man with a mournful voice lingered in my ear.

What came into the open field of view was a room where everything was dyed pure white.

Looking down at himself lying on the bed inside, he saw a man writing on a chart with a blunt face.

‘A-04, success.’

The word ‘A-04’ that came out of his mouth was the number engraved on the white clothes he was wearing.

and before that.

The place where A-03 is engraved is the text engraved on the white cloth covering the melted flesh on the test bench next to me… … .

‘If the experiment was successful, prepare to move to the next test site.’

Since it was a place where everything was dyed white, I could feel the red light soaking under it getting clearer.

Nausea soaring from the fishy scent on the tip of the nose.

As I was afraid to turn my eyes away from the eerie feeling that came from him, what caught my eye was a small rabbit doll leaning at the entrance.

I could understand it just by looking at it.

What does the chunk of meat he had seen before mean?

‘A-04. Do not stand idly.’

‘Yoonseol Lee.’

It was his real name that came out of his mouth as soon as he realized it.

And that child must have had a proper name, not an A-03.

‘It’s Yunseol Lee, my name… . And, that kid… … . That boy’s name is… … .’

‘A-04, don’t make me say the same thing.’

However, the other person does not speak my name.

Don’t name the girl who was horribly murdered by their hands.

Just make eye level and point your eyes towards yourself and say.

‘Prepare for the next experiment. hurry.’

I couldn’t say anything.

Without letting out a single scream or cry, they simply follow their instructions.

During that process, no one called the child by name.

No, they were just concentrating on their work as if they had forgotten its existence.

For them, what gave them hope was just a failure, and they were just chunks of meat thrown in the trash.

‘Ahhhh, ahhhh!!’

After that, I’ve seen the same sight over and over again.

If it fails, that’s it.

At the moment of refusal of even a successful test subject, they were brutally murdered under the pretext of disposal.

Even if they ignore such death and follow the instructions, in the end, the only thing that catches their eye is the appearance of children trembling in fear like themselves.

– Whoops!

Dozens or hundreds of times to the drug flowing through the body.

When I saw the sight of a child who could not stand that strength, crying with tears of blood, and then her head exploded and died.

There were times when I calmly thought that maybe there was such a thick liquid and debris in my head.

To the extent that even the supreme fear turned into a trivial curiosity, he had been ruined at that time.

On the one hand, I wish this hellish time would end.

Wouldn’t it be easier if I had died halfway through?

‘This is not justice.’

What made the time awesome.

Ironically, in the first experiment, he was a researcher who forced him to head to the next place.

‘It’s wrong no matter how you think about it. this… … . There’s no way this can be forgiven! This can’t be right!’

It didn’t take long to realize.

Even he, who was always afraid, was only the end in the end.

The spectacle of slaughtering boys and girls for the sake of gaining power, even in the position of being the only person in charge and bystander, stimulated a sense of guilt.

Yes, this man has defined himself as evil.

Just sitting around can be a sin for some.

‘Run away from here. I’ll stop it somehow, so come on… … !’

Some would say that it is common in this day and age for a Mormot who escaped at the sacrifice of those who realized it and set foot in a distorted environment.

Also, some will say that it is a common tragedy in this era.

“Vengeance… … .”

If so, what will be the ending?

If things that do not change over time are common, is adapting to the common things called justice? Would resisting it be called evil?

If society collapses due to such resistance, and what has always been considered common sense will not be taken for granted.

Will you be called justice in the world that will unfold after that, or will you still be called evil?

“After I finish my revenge, will this echo in my head go away?”

That too, time will tell. and do.

The worst villain, who remembered the same conclusion as usual, soon went to bed, hugging the teddy bear in my arms.

***

… … and.

“… Mr. Brad.”

About three months after the sinking of the Titanic.

The man who felt the chilly autumn wind blowing through the crack in the half-open door looked at me quietly, arranging the collar of his coat.

James Hart.

A hero who has been closely related for half a year.

He, who doesn’t know who I am, is still showing his favor, but he still shows hesitation in his steps toward the front door.

Yes, because I may not be able to come back this time.

“After all, you are going.”

“Yeah, so for the time being my daughter… … . Please take care of Nella.”

But for the sake of the cause, we must move forward.

Preparing to say goodbye to one’s most precious existence must also be a skill for those who are truly called heroes.

“Uncle Brad.”

After seeing off the hero whom I had formed a relationship with, I turned my back on the front door and what I saw was a little girl hugging a rabbit doll.

Even though I clearly loved and felt love.

A pitiful child who could not see off his father, who was leaving for Saji.

“Dad, will you be okay?”

“Don’t worry. You will definitely come back.”

It was unheard of.

From now on, he clearly knows what kind of enemy he is dealing with.

“Did you keep coming back to your side until now? So you’ll be fine.”

But isn’t that what comfort is?

There is no point in being swayed by anxiety about the vague future, so you should prepare to move forward with solace, even if it is empty words.

Especially for children who collapse immediately if there is no place to lean on.

“… … my father.”

How long had it been since Tyler gave the girl’s anxiety like that?

As I laid the girl on her lap, who was tired of looking for crying, another girl’s voice was heard from behind.

“You can speak comfortably. Because Nella is asleep.”

A girl who is sleeping soundly despite her previous gloom.

When I felt pity that I was sleeping without knowing anything, the boss quietly took a seat next to me and turned on the TV.

so without words.

Only the time to stare at the TV in silence continues.

“Bread.”

At some point, her hand stopped turning the channel, and her expression slowly began to stiffen when she saw the news on the screen.

“Are you okay?”

“it’s okay.”

He answered that short question right away.

To the extent that it is reflective.

“I’m fine.”

Yes, I had already made up my mind.

that’s the way it is

Even in the yard where it is difficult to cover my face, to protect my master, I must not worry about anything else.

So no matter what news comes from the world, I will not move.

[Yes, I will give you an urgent breaking news. Currently, Pandemonia has declared an all-out war against District B… … .]

She had already made up her mind.

Because I, who was unable to even stand in front of her, would not change anything if I intervene in her affairs.

‘Yes, I will never see her again in my life.’

When I saw her appearing on the news, I felt only one such resignation.
