Part 2 Episode 14: Disaster Begins.

And so, Ahab became the new ‘harpooner’.

Ahh… Let’s just call it ah.

Calling Ahab gives me the feeling that some kind of disharmony is coming.

Ay left with his chin held high.

…I really didn’t mean to recommend it.

So Ai left for Vendetta’s headquarters.

And now a week has passed since such a big incident happened.

Although it was an incident I caused, it was a big enough incident to stir up the whole of Seoul.

As evidence of that, if you turn on the TV, there will probably be news about me.

The news I saw a few days ago was talking about whether I was good or evil.

The faction that called me evil called me evil, saying that I was the head of a group that caused a large-scale terror.

Actually, it wasn’t just one or two buildings that I demolished… I did.

Still, Bishop had quite a bit of money saved up from swallowing the Butcher and the Drug family, so we donated the money anonymously.

What. You can call it hypocrisy.

Still, I still haven’t killed my emotions…

I just want you to call it a minimum conscience.

Anyway. If there are camps that call me evil, there are also those who call me justice.

Perhaps… You interpreted it as me revealing Casshallo Blanche’s crimes, punishing him, and even targeting the president and overthrowing the corrupt Peacekeeper.

They call justice done illegally.

But that’s never justice.

It’s just chaos where lawlessness and justice are mixed together.

A vigilante?

The Dark Knight?

Vigilante?

In the end, they are beings that bring chaos.

Suppressing illegality by means of violence.

Is it really justice to eradicate the illegality of murder?

Well. At least not in this worldview.

The law can no longer protect the weak.

If justice loses its meaning.

Only then will chaos become justice.

But if you chose that path.

That kind of waiting is something we must be willing to endure.

“Boss. What are you thinking?”

Crow woke me from my thoughts.

“..Ah. No. I was dazed for a moment.”

I have strangely philosophical concerns these days.

More after ‘Before Casshallo Blanche’…Damn it. It’s just going to have a bad effect in many ways.

I leaned back, swearing at Caschalo Blanche.

“By the way…When are you coming?”

Haein, who was chewing on snacks next to me, asked.

“Looks like you’re busy with something…”

“Vendetta is always busy. Illegal activities are bound to bring in another ‘Vendetta’, so it usually acts like a bodyguard that protects a place like this. This isn’t it.”

At my answer, Xiao, who was standing still behind him, tilted his head.

“A peculiar group.”

“Isn’t it? Well… Maybe that’s the secret to the survival of a small number of elite Vendettas.”

“Hmm. Strangely, our boss is more knowledgeable than we are about this? Did you come from the Villain Analysis department?”

“I just watched the anime intently.”

“…That wasn’t a very smart answer.”

It’s true.

I glanced at the door, ignoring Bishop’s words.

Flashing lights occasionally leaked through the cracks in the door.

The loud sound was blocked by the door, filtered out and quietly spread throughout the room.

The pharmacist pushed through the door with me and looked at the light that came out and recalled memories.

“I remember that time. When I negotiated with that… Evie Vendetta.”

Um.

I was a bit embarrassed at the time…

“I was also very surprised when someone named Evie Vendetta suddenly hugged the boss.”

????????????

I decided not to say that…!

I looked at the pharmacist with a resentful look.

It’s already too late.

“Hooooo…”

Crow, who was sitting next to me, slowly looked back at me with his black eyes twinkling.

“Is that so?”

“…It’s a misunderstanding. It’s not the hug you think it is. Absolutely not.”

I waved my hand and explained it.

It didn’t work for the beasts who had already set their targets.

“You mean..?”

Crow was slowly approaching, so I forced myself to lay back.

Haein is behind…

…No?

I ended up lying on the sofa.

Crow’s right arm was erected next to my face like a pillar.

“When we were all struggling…That’s what I mean…”

“Brother… Isn’t it?”

“My lord…Please let me trust you.”

“Hmm.. Our boss is a man with a lot of flair.”

Everyone is looking down at me with their eyes shining.

It was the eyes of a beast.

It was the eye of a predator that caught the prey’s weakness.

It’s scary.

…Decided.

The next team member is somehow a man. Man please please.

“Uh…That…That’s…Uh…”

I was panicking and hovering.

“Oh. And right after that, the boss was a little weird.”

The Alchemist is ready to deliver the final blow.

No.

No. No. sh*t.

Don’t tell me, pharmacist.

“That must be…”

Oops…

“It feels like you’re trying to hide something in your pocket by pulling your back back…?”

Four eye-beams stare at me.

…You have a pay cut. Druggist.

Just before the four eye-beams glaring at me rush at me.

“Sorry~. I’m a little late because I have something to do.”

Kikii Profit.

The door opened and Evie Vendetta entered.

“You didn’t wait long, did you?”

“Of course.”

I got up quickly, grabbed Crow’s shoulders, and sat him upright.

“…Oh~. Our little boss is very popular~?”

Evie Vendetta, sitting on the couch opposite me, laughed.

“Okay. Then… Should I give it to you now?”

Evie Vendetta smiled as if she had an idea for something funny.

Ominous.

I nodded and tried to get the ledger out of my pocket.

But Evie Vendetta came at speed and grabbed her by the back of my neck with one hand.

“Then, as promised.”

….??

“I’ll take it? The beginning of your lips.”

????????

I was taken aback for a moment, but my voice was momentarily suppressed by the chilling feeling of life around me.

“Everyone put their weapons down.”

Crow pulled out his staff and aimed it at Evie Vendetta.

Xiao took out a spear, Haein took out an invisible line used for hacking, and Bishop took out a pistol and aimed it at it.

“…Whoops. As expected, this reaction is really delicious.”

Evie Vendetta smiled and gestured.

Boom!

The door burst open and someone leaped in.

That was the one who roams the sea.

Grab the harpoon.

Those who struggle to carry out their own justice while cruising the sea.

A appeared and swung a pequod.

Then the water flow followed the pequod’s trajectory.

The stream of water deflected all weapons.

“…Crazy. Did he absorb Moby Dick’s abilities?”

As I murmured, Ay nodded her head triumphantly and grinned at me.

“How is it? Do you regret not recruiting me now…?!”

“No.”

I was sincere.

I can’t handle it if it increases here.

“Sheesh. Not funny.”

Ay quickly got behind Evie Vendetta.

Evie Vendetta also smiled and went back to her seat.

“..Is everyone okay?”

I turned my head and asked.

Crow answered while fiddling with his wrist.

“..Yes, it’s okay.”

Is it just that the weapon bounced off?

That’s good.

“..Huh.”

I sighed and took out the ledger from my pocket and held it out.

“This is the ledger of the drug family. Please use it well.”

“Thank you~. You know I’m sorry for the joke, right?”

Evie Benzetta winked and rose from her seat.

“Then let’s all break up here for a while. I have a lot of work left to do. We just overthrew the Peacekeeper a few days ago?”

Evie Vendetta smiled, glanced around me and around me, and said.

“See you live next time? Don’t be a fortune teller.”

“…Even if you say something… It’s okay. See you later.”

With a light laugh, Evie Vendetta stepped outside.

“Look…!”

I quickly jumped up and started running.

“Xiao! Grab it!”

At Crow’s command, Xiao immediately moved his body.

As I opened the door, loud lights and bright sounds greeted me.

Is it the opposite? Well anyway

I was about to throw myself down the stairs when I stumbled upon something and became hardened like a stone.

“I got it, please don’t move my lord…….?”

I stood blankly and looked at a flyer.

“..Lord? Why is that?”

Ambient sound cannot be heard.

As if sinking into the sea, it seemed that only I was floating in that space.

My eyes were fixed on the leaflet.

It brought great despair.

“…Damn it. You don’t have to give it a break. Damn writer..”

I hurriedly turned around and spoke to Xiao.

“Xiao. Bring my family quickly. This is an urgent meeting.”

“..Yes? ..Yes. I understand.”

Xiao moved again and quickly headed towards Crow.

I looked at the flyer again.

It was written there.

「Art is coming to you!

-Art Propagation Association.」

…Damn it.

The seeds of a new disaster have been planted.

********

“… Ha ha.”

A woman sighs.

There was deep weariness and worry there.

Smart.

Someone knocked.

“..President, may I come in?”

“…Come in.”

Kikiiik.

The door is open.

A neatly dressed secretary came in.

“…You have suffered a lot.”

“Yes. A lot. There are so many things the former president who was murdered did.”

The new woman general with her tongue stuck out her hand to the secretary.

“Isn’t that the material about the newly discovered magical girl? Give it to me so I can review it.”

“Yes.”

The secretary handed out the papers.

The president read the document with tired eyes.

“…Your name is unusual.”

The president sighed and casually threw the document aside and picked up another document.

“I’ll decide later whether to hire that magical girl. Go now.”

“..I understand.”

Ttogak. Again. Again.

The secretary turned and left the room.

“..I need to investigate that secretary as well. How many people are involved in the corruption?”

The president muttered softly and glanced at the document.

“..Eternal Shine? That’s a long name. Let’s just write it down as ‘Magical Girl Shine’.”
