I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

Chapter 88

EP.88 EP4. Confidence(2)

Love… love.

That’s nonsense.

No matter how much my master said it, I couldn’t take it seriously.

“… … Of course, there may be differences.”

Then she said

It’s not that my thinking is so wrong.

“No matter how hard I try to understand you, the essence is very different. The emotion you define as love may be accepted differently from your point of view.”

Yes, there is a difference between the emotions of the Transcendent and humans.

No matter how close your relationship with her seems, the goal will be a lot deeper and darker than I thought.

“But one thing can be said for sure.”

nevertheless she said

“You are the one who realized something that even I could not foresee.”

To me, who is just a human being.

To me who blames myself for my own weakness and is frustrated by the reality of not being able to achieve anything… … . She discovered that she was more special than anyone else.

“For me, who could foresee the future, the miracle of that day was something I never expected.”

At a time when I wasn’t as weak as I am now.

Nevertheless, at the moment when he was defeated in an all-out war against everything and even gave up on his own death, the insignificant human being who came to visit.

She was calling this moment a ‘miracle’ by taking advantage of the accidental achievement she made after all her struggles.

“… … Do you think the desire to see that miracle again is wrong?”

Because it deceives the darkness that can’t even know one inch ahead.

The faint light seemed to be more intense.

“I want to see that miracle again, so do you think this wish to make your wish come true is wrong?”

Even if it consumes its own existence.

Because he also has the belief that it will lead to the feeling of respect for himself and will lead to the path where he can achieve what he wants.

“… … me too.”

That feeling was considered too excessive for me.

No matter how I ended up saving her, what I did at the time was nothing but a struggle.

“If I can save it, I want to save it.”

Still, if that’s the truth.

If the favor she evoked was not false, it would never be wrong to revive it.

That’s what she wants, and what’s more, if that’s what I want… … . Being pampered with that generosity can also be said to be a reward for the work I’ve done.

“then… … .”

“Still, I’m sorry.”

But it shouldn’t be now… … .

Having suppressed the urge with such thoughts, I finally made the choice to let go of her hand.

“… … Brad.”

“I understand how the boss thinks of me.”

Yes, I judged this person only by my own standards.

Despite all the sincerity and special consideration to me, I just put a wall between the monarch and the vassal and kept my distance from her.

The reason I couldn’t pamper her even though I understood it was because the ideal I had in myself was that huge.

“Still, this isn’t it. You shouldn’t put any effort into this. you are… … .”

“… Brad.”

“Because you can’t be just for me.”

Angolmore.

The god of destruction who descended on this earth for the destruction of mankind for some reason. However, they do not know the clear boundaries, so they want to get to know humans.

Even if they claim to be insignificant beings in the universe just like humans, nevertheless, to humans like me, they are seen as far away.

“If you’re really for me, I’m not what you should look at. If there is a time when I need to use that power, I have to use it for the world I live in, not me.”

The power exercised by such a being should never be for the individual.

Not for one, but for the whole.

What I want from her must be nothing more, nothing less.

The day when her existence becomes a ‘light’ that illuminates everyone’s path, not someone’s path… … .

“So please don’t say that again.”

For me, who firmly believed that such a day would come, the current temptation had to be overcome.

“… … Hi, are you okay with that?”

Even if the world is not equal, and no matter how much you desire, even if you do not have the power to achieve your ideals in this hand.

“Bread, I know… you’ve been watching her for over 10 years and I hear you.”

Even though it can be dried over and over again, I silently watch the way she goes.

Even if we have to wait for the end that is destined to end in tragedy from the beginning.

“I thought about how she had been living during that time, but didn’t Idaji suffer because she couldn’t stop her?”

Until the day when the promised time comes, I must say that I am the pillar (father) that supports her, I firmly vowed not to become a person who should never expect anything from her.

“If you miss her, you may fall sooner or later.”

But even so, there’s only one thing.

“I’m sure… … .”

Still, with all the favor she has of me, can I ask you just one question?

“I need certainty.”

“If you are sure, what?”

“I am convinced that what I am going to do afterward is meaningless.”

I want to achieve something with this weak body.

How foolish and arrogant it is to have such confidence, I have been deeply aware of through my life so far.

“I wonder if what I do has any meaning… … . Please teach me that.”

So I don’t want much.

I just want you to hear the certainty that even I cannot have, through the mouth of the master who truly cares for me.

“…….”

On the one hand, the question, which could be said to be excessive, did not urge her to use any more force.

I was just telling you.

I take everything seriously that will come to me in my future actions, as I wish.

“Is the answer enough?”

What followed at the end was an answer far from omnipotence.

But despite being aware of it, my heart felt a sense of comfort as if it had ever happened.

“… … yes.”

I seem to have realized that the only thing I need now is the one answer that the believer will return.

– Mr. Brad.

When I was aware of it, the voice I heard suddenly made me and the boss’ eyes turned to a certain place.

A dark shadow slowly fell from the window. While feeling familiarity from him, the boy’s upper body, which had finally hardened, spoke quietly while facing me.

-I found the place where the sulwharan is located.

As if I wasn’t wrong now.

Directly mentioning the information I so desperately wanted.

***

a full day’s time.

Although he did not know about the complete concealment of information, it was enough time to make the necessary respite for the operation.

Of course, if it’s just words, it’s hard to believe, but unless you cover up everything with lies… Most of the truth will be easily believed if you add a few plausible lies.

In fact, it was true that I met Seol Hwa-ran by accident and suppressed her.

The only distortion is that her body disappeared without a form. Her death was also scheduled to continue after my work was done, so there was nothing to interfere with.

Demanding physical evidence also symbolized her, such as the Baekjeong Mask and Hwandudaedo. These are the traces left after the battle, and if you send them to the forensics team, they will figure out the whereabouts on their own, and give strength to my opinion.

Afterwards, at an official event, he presents the hero he sponsored directly to the public, and uses it as a cornerstone to regain his lost glory and status… …

The plan crafted in his head was gradually being brought to reality through the few authority he had as an executive.

Of course, even if there are a lot of other problems, it will be solved somehow because he also gave his words to other executives.

Even though they followed justice, they didn’t just do things like themselves.

Yes, except for one person.

– You said that it was the Unbreakable Vanguard that caught Snowflake.

Seras Essenberg.

After the Great War three years ago, she is a woman at the bottom of the board who was elected as a former S-class hero.

The status of the enemy who would have been a hero reached just below that of Justice or Jack Horse, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the best among the heroes in the present when the two did not exist.

“Yeah, I’m one of the heroes I’ve been guardian of.”

Then why did she contact her out of the blue? … .

Perhaps it was because he was concerned about the fact that he was the one who revealed Sul Hwa-ran’s death, but McCoy didn’t feel any other tension in her presence.

No matter how much you come from an S-class hero, what a hero does is far from political.

The fact that she was chosen as an executive was to use her publicity to soften the association’s awareness, not to demand her political and authoritative qualities.

No, rather, if you show your talents in that direction, the position of other executives will become more difficult.

He was so obsessed with killing her power that she would never harm herself.

-Yes, I found out that I was promoted to Grade A on the promotion test a few months ago. He didn’t do any particularly conspicuous activities, but he received a recommendation from an executive and received extra points… … .

“Lucky crab. I was just giving the youngsters a chance, but I never thought he would be so amazing.”

Yes, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about the current contact.

McCoy, who was on the phone in the basement lab, grabbed his throbbing head, and even looked at the documents in his hand.

-… … It’s a bit sudden. Even though he was promoted to A-class, he didn’t do any clear publicity activities, and all he had to do was concentrate on training in a remote place.

“Well, you are a shy friend. Still, she’s not very active, but her potential is not down to S-class. I think you can tell by looking at the villain he killed this time.”

-Yes, I have no doubts about that, since we have sent evidence. In fact, in the samples sent to us, the same properties as those detected in the blood or hair of Sulwharan were even detected… … .

Seras was convincing, but his voice seemed to be dissatisfied.

It would be an unavoidable reaction for her.

Like Chunma, she was also a hero who participated in the great war that day, so she would not have thought that the villain, called a disaster at the time, would be overcome so easily.

Perhaps even the current currency is closer to the one who felt dissatisfied with the nameless hero’s overpowering the villain, whom even himself could not easily overcome.

-However, according to previous investigations, I heard that he suffered serious injuries in the process of suppressing the villains in the riot that took place in District D just two days ago.

They would have thoroughly investigated this as well, but in the end, it would only be news that was revealed to the public.

“The gift he has is the power that grows stronger as the battle escalates. The stronger the opponent, the greater the power, so it is safe to say that it specializes in reversal.”

– Reversal, you mean?

“Yeah, he needs to recover right now, so it’s hard to meet him yet, but if you meet him on an official board soon, you’ll know why I recommended him.”

Even if you have doubts, you will not try to investigate yourself unless you are convinced of the doubts.

That’ll be enough after you’ve already finished all your work.

Gradually, McCoy, who felt that Yue’s security was assured by her reaction, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled.

– First of all, I understand.

“Yeah, I’ll make a detailed report and fix it soon.”

– Yes, then… … .

It took a while to end the call without such a big deal.

Right after I was about to press the end call button.

-… … Mr McCoy.

Before hanging up, Seras called his name once more.

“Do you have anything more to say?”

-I heard that you are recuperating at a resort now… … .

“Ah, yes. Aren’t I old too?”

After all, was it known that way on the outside?

Of course, he is now known as an executive with only a name. Borrowing that position, he was perceived as a prodigal authority, but that was also a perception that could be overturned later, so he was passing it on now.

– You must be suffering in many ways to have such a serious accident occur while you are recuperating.

“… Heh heh, it’s no big deal. It’s just me sitting here, receiving calls and organizing paperwork.”

– Oh, yes, it is.

Seras expressed his understanding with a shaky voice again.

Afterwards, along with the rustling of the documents in his hand, a voice saying, ‘Mars, please organize the materials you sent me now’ came from over the receiver.

After that, the call ended without saying goodbye.

Judging from what he was talking about, he seemed to be communicating with his secretary…

– Pop!

Before he could even think about it deeply, the smartphone in his hand was released from McCoy’s hand and plummeted to the floor.

Liquid crystals shattered by impact.

Still, McCoy couldn’t pick up my phone right away.

I could feel the headache I had felt before we even started talking, and it was getting worse as time went on.

“Hey, what… . This.”

Just a headache from aging and fatigue… … .

No, it’s not like that. I know it because I’ve felt it before.

‘Get it right now!!!’

At least in the headaches I’ve experienced, there’s no such thing as hallucinations.
