Villains.

What are villains?

They are typically antagonistic characters in fictional works, often portrayed as evil figures who oppose the protagonist. Main villains, in particular, are known for persistently opposing the hero and posing a significant threat, sometimes even appearing invincible.

And now, looking back, I could probably be considered a main villain. No, after going head-to-head with Stardus and even recognizing her as my enemy, if I'm not the main villain, who is?

So, here I am, the leader of the most influential alliance of villains in South Korea, a gathering of powered individuals.

"What's this?"

"It's cotton candy."

...I was making and eating cotton candy.

Well, people need something sweet to enjoy from time to time.

In the front garden of the mansion, with our Death Knight old guy revamping it from a landfill, Choi Sehee and Seo Ja-young brought a cotton candy machine from somewhere.

That's why, an unexpected cotton candy feast unfolded in the garden.

"...It's quite fascinating."

The one who seemed most intrigued was our centuries-old spirit, Shin Ryeong.

She was wearing a white hanbok, with a hairpin adorned in her hair, and her radiant appearance while eating cotton candy looked rather unusual.

Of course, I had my own cotton candy.

A pink one. I roughly tore it open and tasted the melting sweetness inside.

...It felt like I was eating cotton candy for the first time since I was a child, back when I visited amusement parks.

"Hahaha! Time for the free cotton candy giveaway! Who wants some?"

As the old guy energetically made cotton candy behind the machine, I asked Seo Ja-young, who was enjoying her candy nearby.

"Seriously, where did you find this thing?"

"Hmm? I was browsing the internet, and I found one for sale. So, I decided to buy it."

Lying on a bench, Seo Ja-young answered as she indulged in her candy, her eyes closed, and a contented smile on her face. It seemed like she really enjoyed cotton candy.

"Da-in, what are you doing over there? Come here."

Someone grabbed my arm and pulled me closer.

It was Seo-eun, holding a light blue cotton candy in her hand.

"Try this taste too. It's delicious."

With that, she smoothly handed me her cotton candy, which effortlessly melted in my mouth.

"How's it taste?"

"It's good. Sweet."

Honestly, I couldn't detect any difference in taste between the pink and sky blue cotton candies. Supposedly, one was strawberry-flavored, and the other was blueberry-flavored... but why?

Regardless, they were both deliciously sweet.

So, what started as an impromptu cotton candy machine turned into something like a picnic in front of the mansion. The idea might have sprung from the machine, but anyway, everyone had come outside, and laughter filled the air. It was a beautiful sight.

We even spread out mats for a proper picnic.

While we rested and munched on cotton candy, Seo-eun, who had been energetically taking pictures of us eating cotton candy, suddenly asked me something.
