I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.68 EP4. Best Partner(4)

‘Spiritas wants you as a sidekick, the association has contacted you.’

When I first heard it, I thought it was strange.

S-class heroes are the ones who get the most attention on this continent, and the side kick they choose must be more special than anyone else.

By the way, to choose someone who has only reached Grade A on paper. Was that just something he did?

‘Whatever it is, it’s a great opportunity for an S-class hero to use it as a side kick. Vanguard-kun, aren’t you pretty happy about this too?’

‘… … I have no idea.’

However, Vanguard accepted even that offer graciously.

It’s not like humility.

What he pursues is to follow the ‘justice’ that this society insists on, so he seeks only results, not opportunities, at any time.

It is only necessary to go up and down the stairs calmly if it is necessary to take care of the hero who has reached the peak.

‘Yeah, you just want that all the time. I liked that look, so I made an investment in you.’

But society is like a gigantic machine made of countless interests intertwined.

There is a limit to pursuing a cause only with an honest character, and to win more opportunities, it is necessary to revive the expectations of those with power.

‘Please prove your strength in this raid on District B. The more you work out, the more it proves that I too am on the right path.’

Yes, the strength that he has cultivated is only borrowed from someone in the end.

So, reviving his expectations is also a way to follow the justice he seeks.

Even if it was a villain who was laughing like crazy at this moment, who knew the source of my power.

“Fuha, hahahaha! I will know everything!!”

A warehouse that was terribly collapsed.

The Vanguard, who moved forward while clearing the fragments, was faced with the mentis who had been hit by his own counterattack orthodoxly.

The limbs are twisted and the bones of the whole body are crumbling.

Even the aides who had been guarding the area before were also buried in the debris, so it could be said that there was virtually nothing that could protect the body.

Still, there was no fear in the eyes looking up at him.

“Unbreakable Vanguard… … . You’ve also been treated with a multi-gift… … !!”

Yes, from the moment I became a villain, I had already made up my mind that my end would be trivial.

It was just funny.

The fact that the author who judges the villain himself is actually a person who has entered into an affair like himself.

“A hero who protects people gains strength by sacrificing people, what the hell is a hero! After all, you are just like me… … !”

-Puck!!

His bloody fists swung towards his mouth.

The moment when the superhuman force that runs wildly is released.

The fragments of the collapsed warehouse trembled, and the balance was disturbed, and the terrain began to change gradually.

“Don’t treat me the same way… … .”

The swing stopped when even the seizure of the corpse with its crushed head stopped.

Then Vanguard, struggling to breathe, clenched his blood-stained fists and wept.

“I am, strictly for justice… … !”

Yes, he is different from the villain.

It means that I obtained this power not to pursue only self-interest, like the corpse in front of me.

“Did you get hit by a mentee?”

At the time when even the pain of scars was forgotten by such resentment, popular pretenders began to lurk around.

Did Mentis’s aides escaped the buried scene?

No, they weren’t Mentis’ subordinates, they were Class A villains who were on the same level as him.

‘Wasn’t it one mentee who led the riot?’

In a way, this is normal.

What is happening in this city is caused by hundreds or thousands of reactionaries at the same time.

The supply of funds and explosives necessary for the operation, the destruction of surveillance and manpower control, and the connection with the shadows for the supply of drugs, etc… … .

Among the myriad activities necessary for the riot, Mentis was merely the most infamous, so he only represented the power as a face-to-face.

“Okay, so who’s the next boss?”

“That’s going to be the one who cuts his hair. I don’t know who he is, but if it’s enough to defeat a mentee, he’s definitely a gangster.”

“You don’t know. If we take down that guy, the mantis investor might give us a chance to get surgery too.”

“You bastard, you didn’t like honey from the moment you drank honey by yourself?”

Still, if at all I could feel the bond between colleagues who have walked the same path together as human beings.

Still, if he felt a sense of camaraderie, even a slight tremor in his clenched fist might have existed.

But that, too, is just a vain expectation that is destined to turn into disappointment.

For those who made it a business to punish evil, the present stillness was very familiar to them.

Because there are so many evils in this world.

In order to give room for conversion to those who have already entered the affair, it was because they could not turn away from those who suffered during that time.

‘So, there should be no means or methods to exclude them.’

Enduring the remorse of conscience that comes from it will also have to be endured.

Right after I clenched my fists to drive away such self-righteousness.

– Aww!!

A ray of light flew in from far away, and eventually crashed into the warehouse where they were standing, causing a shiver in the land.

Debris and dust scattered everywhere.

The Vanguard, who had endured the wave, endured the throbbing in his body, and eventually stared at the intruder.

Another enemy?

“That white mask… … . You’re the Vanguard, aren’t you?”

No, the intruder turned his back on him.

It’s as if you’re trying to take over this fight on your behalf.

“… … you are?”

“He came to take you as a sidekick. I think you’ve heard of it before… … .”

Attire is a simple outfit called an outdoor coat and a scarf.

Although she was not wearing the pink dress that symbolized her, there were patterns reminiscent of starlight in her eyes as she looked back at her.

Its unique lens is the symbol of a hero who does not know anyone in this era.

“What is that girl? Are you a hero?”

“Whatever happens, just do it… … .”

On the other hand, the villains have yet to discover her true identity.

They were arrogant, targeting even new intruders, and preparing to spread their malice.

– Aww!!!

As if she could not allow even that momentary preparation, her body turned into afterimages from the binge drinking.

When he realized that he had already moved, his fist was aimed at the leading chin.

“mousse… … .”

– Aww!!

A villain’s body that flew dozens of meters into the air with an uppercut.

While everyone’s attention was focused on him, her legs, which had risen slightly, sank to the ground again.

At the same time, thump! Gravity reversing with a sound.

No, the moment the force so strong that it was mistakenly struck the ground, the villains’ bodies began to float in the air without mercy.

“What the hell! What happened now… … .”

– Aww!!

It doesn’t even give you time to understand the situation.

Afterimages flying into the air hit the floating bodies without mercy, and the bodies that are thrown off over and over again fall to the ground in full blows.

The moment when the villains who rose to the same level as the villains who had risen to the A-class sacrificed themselves and attacked, fell out insignificantly.

However, there was a certain restraint in the gestures that knocked them down.

The ruthless and radical movements, or the act of leaving only their breath on the brink, obviously stemmed from leisure.

‘That’s an S-class hero.’

Vanguard couldn’t take his eyes off that figure.

For Vanguard, who has been concentrating on honing only himself, the current appearance was very shocking.

‘That’s the pinnacle of the path I should pursue… … .’

like that

The fact that there are heroes who can defeat evil so overwhelmingly.

Even in this age where we have always thought that there is no hope, the fact that there is a strong person who overpowers evil like that.

‘Ah, yes. I, I… … .’

Star Girl Spiritas.

A woman whom everyone agreed to as the hope of the next generation.

Vanguard was at this moment realizing with his own eyes that that opinion was by no means exaggerated.

‘You must have been favored by such a strong hero.’

At the same time, the fact that such a wonderful person had chosen him.

I don’t know why she chose her, but whatever it was, she chose herself.

It seems that he has discovered a value that even himself, who has been seeking justice all along, does not know.

‘I’m not wrong.’

With that alone, I can feel the turmoil in my heart gradually subside.

At least the path he was pursuing was not wrong.

Because I felt that belief gradually getting stronger.

“Mister, f*ck you. Why did an S-class hero come here?”

“If it’s not any other S-class, there’s no way it’s going to be a fight in the first place!”

Conversely, for the villains who have noticed her identity, despair gradually arrives.

Spiritas noticed it belatedly, but by that time the villains had already set foot at the entrance to the nearby warehouse.

Even though they have the strongest hero behind them, they smile triumphantly as if they still have a chance.

“under! Even if it’s an S-class, it’s a hero Naburang after all. By the way, the Mentis has been holding hostages here, so if you take them as hostages and escape… … .”

“Anyway, it’s obvious what you are thinking.”

As soon as the door opened, someone’s voice came from inside.

As soon as he felt his doubts, an iron pipe protruded through the gap in the door and hit the gum of the villain who was about to break in.

“Kuh hey!”

“Damn, what else is this time?!”

“What? A white-collar worker I stopped by on the way.”

– Kaang!

The assailant slams the bewildered villain’s head.

After that, it was the man in the bread bag who was looking at them with an iron pipe on his shoulder who squirmed through the gap in the door.

“Hey, you f*cking bastard! Know who we are!”

A-class villains who are furious with open provocations and prepare to unleash their gifts.

The man in the bread bag, seeing such an outrageous appearance, snorted and shook his head.

“Heh heh, this is true. People who become A-class villains can afford to worry about E-class buggies. I don’t know what to do with this.”

– Whoo!

At that moment, a loud vibrating sound echoed from behind them.

Spiritas, who grabbed their hair as soon as they looked back, smiled softly, and began to put power into his hands.

“But you guys, what have you been up to here?”

“Come on, wait… … !”

– Kwaang!!

The heads of two villains collide violently.

Their eyes overturned at the shock enough to cause a blast, and soon their bodies drooped.

The moment when the worst villains who brought fear to the public were insignificantly suppressed.

The man who had stood in the way before them took off the bread bag he was wearing and expressed his embarrassment.

“… Aren’t they dead?”

“Hey, I’m not going to die like this~ Well, I’ll be a little crazy for a while.”

“Not just a little, but for the rest of my life, not in prison, but in a psychiatric ward.

“Anyway, I’ve solved what I did with this. Good job, man!”

Spiritas shouted vigorously and patted him on the shoulder.

At that moment, the sound of ‘Fuck!’ echoed, and his body was smashed to the ground.

“… … hey.”

“Ah! I’m sorry. I couldn’t control my power without realizing it.”

“The power control isn’t the problem, you bastard, you know I’m a patient right now, right?”

“Ugh, umm, I know. I just forgot for a moment… … .”

“There is nothing else to forget.”

“But you are the man who said that you would follow me even if you were hurt like that!

“That’s because if I leave it alone, I’m sure I’ll be dumb again.”

“That’s right. If only one leaks, people are at risk.”

Afterwards, Spiritas’ gaze turned towards the inside of the warehouse.

People who were kidnapped by mobs for brainwashing training. But in reality, given the initiators, it is clear that they were most likely in danger of being sold to a human trafficking group.

Even if it was stopped, a considerable amount of damage might have occurred.

For a hero who still considers himself immature, having someone to protect them is a great strength in itself.

“Really, I think I’m lucky to have you.”

Yes, the remarks I am making now come from such a sincere heart.

The moment when none other than an S-class hero feels gratitude for a civilian who has not even become a hero.

“…why.”

But Vanguard couldn’t make it to the scene.

It seemed that the expectations that had been gradually built up had been shattered.

“Why are you, the weak… by the side of the strongest woman…?”

Just staring at the two with empty eyes was the only thing he could do.
