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

Chapter 306

Anyway, after all that eating...it was time for bed.

I didn't actually know it was time to go to bed until I looked outside and saw the time on the TV on the wall.

I somehow managed to get cleaned up in the shower, and when I came out, Stardus was also coming out of the other shower, drying her wet hair with a towel.

"...Whew."

After staring at her for a moment, I turned my head slightly and averted my eyes.

She came out wearing a t-shirt that clung slightly to her body, and her long hair was slightly damp....I hadn't seen a defenseless Stardus like that before and I felt my heart beat in an odd direction for a moment. Okay. Let's get some sleep.

After I leaned back on the suspiciously fluffy bed...I sighed heavily as I dried my hair and watched Stardus crawl into bed next to me.

"...You're really going to sleep here?"

"Yep. I don't know what you're going to do here, so why not?"

In contrast to her hard voice, she says that with a wry smile.

...My cheeks are red, but I'm not sure if it's because I washed them or because I'm embarrassed to admit it.

On top of that, she's back to her usual stern tone.

Anyway, after turning off the lights I and Stardus were lying next to each other.

"..."

"....."

The beds are close together, so it's kind of weird to think that Stardus is lying right next to me, just an arm's reach away.

...Still, I was sleepy after everything that had happened today despite the situation.

Listening to her breathing, while I lay there staring at the ceiling.

"...Egotistic."

Suddenly, Stardus, lying next to me in bed, spoke.

"What?"

"...Just."

Stardus, who was lying next to me, opened her mouth to mumble.

"...Doesn't this remind you of the time we were both trapped under the HanEun Group?"

"Aha..."

I was silent for a moment, letting her words bring back memories.

...That was after I had just finished the attack on the bridge. She and I had run into each other when we went down to the basement of the lab after the Behemoth incident at the HanEun Group, and we were locked side by side in a room that suppressed our abilities. In fact, this prison is similar in that it also suppresses our abilities a bit.

At that time she had stayed away from me, glaring at me, as if wary of me.

But now...

"Huh? Why?"

We were stuck together in what was effectively one bed.

Within reach of each other if I moved a little, we were stuck together.

...What's the difference between then and now?

Why were we so far apart then, and now we're so close?

As I was thinking about that, I saw the scene in front of me.

Suddenly, the scenes I'd been through with her flashed before my eyes.

...me throwing myself at Stardus. How we worked together to defeat the other villains. How we worked hand-in-hand to defeat Labyrinth Maker...

Yeah.
