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

Chapter 257

"Hah..."

Stardust had been lost in thought for quite some time ever since she and Egostic had captured the strange creature known as the Knight of God.

"What was that...What...?"

There were a lot of questions.

Why was there an Egyptian-style ruin sleeping beneath Korea, what was wrong with this powerful enemy.

And how the hell did Egostic know about this?

"....."

...Of course, her pondering didn't produce any answers.

She even went back to the site of the ruins, but there was nothing there. It must have collapsed, so there should be some rubble left behind.

Of course, the easiest way to find out about this mysterious secret would be to ask Egostic himself, but...

'...Later, I'll tell you all about it.'

Well...When would later be.

What was almost certain from the sound of his voice was that he was very hesitant when he said it. She could tell he was having a hard time putting it into words.

'...Yeah. He'll tell me someday.'

She thought, and decided to let it go for now.

Judging by his reaction, it didn't seem like there were any more of those weird things left in Korea right now.

Maybe one day he'll tell her.

But...

"Ugh..."

The Heroes Association office in a sunny spot behind a window Stardus twirled her golden hair, glistening in the sunlight, with one hand, lost in thought.

During the battle in the ruins, Egostic kept barking orders at her.

The experience of acting on his word alone, trusting him completely.

"....."

It had been quite an experience for her, well, impressive.

She'd never felt anything like it before... like she and Egostic had become one... like their thoughts had resonated...?

"What am I thinking...?"

She thought, and then muttered against her chest.

...Haru, you can't have such thoughts about a villain, you have to get a grip.

He's an evil, terrorizing villain... Mean... Well, not really evil...

'So, I've gotten some help from him after all.'

She thought to herself.

She'd been stopping all sorts of dangerous villains lately, all with the help of Egostic.

No, actually, not even recently. Ever since the beginning, since the HanEun Group or the typhoon at Moonlight Church she always had Egostic by her side.

Now, she can't imagine life without him.

And she was.

Well, she was very troubled.

"...."

Stardus sees herself as a hero.

Righteous, always punishing evil, dedicated to the people. A hero.

And the villains, to her, were all non-negotiable targets. The enemy.

...Which is why she's always been so confused about what she feels for him.
