The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 232: For You

[As far as I know, the villain has the ability to generate toxic gases. Everyone, please make sure to have gas masks at home in case of abilities related to manipulating gases.]

Shin Haru's house.

More precisely, the hero Stardus's house.

There, she anxiously watched the Ego Stream broadcast on TV.

'We're doing our best right now, but we can't find him. We're sorry...'

The Association had already stated they couldn't locate him a while ago.

As a result, she couldn't do anything other than watch the Ego Stream broadcast from her house.

"....."

Watching his image on the screen with a worried expression as she tapped the table in frustration was all she could do.

The reason she felt so anxious was just one.

It was because she was worried about Ego Stream, specifically him.

"Is he going to be okay...?"

She said this with a slightly worried look. Of course, she had to admit that she felt somewhat resentful towards Ego Stream lately. She had been making plans to catch him somehow.

However, all those thoughts were temporarily pushed aside, and right now, her worry was greater.

Ego Stream, who was walking alone through that strange passage and laboratory to confront other villains, was wearing a gas mask. His appearance, which seemed unexpectedly cool despite the situation, wasn't the problem.

Even if others didn't know, she, who had faced him directly in battle, knew.

His usual demeanor of always being prepared and in control, along with his mighty colleagues who covered for him, made him seem invincible. Ego Stream's pure physical power was actually very weak.

Therefore, the sight of Ego Stream walking alone through the clearly dangerous passage was enough to make her, the hero Stardus, anxious. Even though she didn't like sticking close to him in normal times, she felt that way now... That was her concern.

In reality, if you thought about it, it might seem strange for a hero to worry so much about a villain.

'Yeah. This isn't strange at all...'

It was normal for a hero to worry about their assigned villain. They shouldn't fall into someone else's hands. They should be punished by the law.

And she herself, in a way, owed him her life. Even though she had paid that debt...

'Cough. You owe me one.'

As she recalled that day Egostic, who was bleeding and dying in the underground lair with holes in his body, her lips twisted unknowingly in frustration. She was anxious and watched the screen with a sense of urgency, unable to do anything at the moment.

And finally, she met the self-proclaimed 'Scream Maker' that Ego Stream had mentioned.

[The rat has finally arrived...]

Seeing the bald villain, whose voice was mixed with a strange, purplish viscous liquid that filled the screen, Stardus's anxiety increased even more.

...Can Ego Stream really beat that guy?

A sinister intuition that could be felt even though the enemy was on the other side of the screen.

That villain, just by looking at him, seemed formidable. The fact that such a person had been living in this country from the beginning was chilling.
