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

Chapter 309

Carqueas.

Created at the birth of the Society, it is a prison for the world's few powerful people.

One of the reasons the Association has become so powerful in the first place is due to its proprietary technology and ownership of Carqueas.

It is the most secure prison on the planet, where those who can single-handedly shake up a nation are kept by any means necessary.

And in the deepest depths, a place where a being from ancient times, villain or monster, said to possess a cursed power, is sealed away.

Stardus was headed deep into the prison with Egostic to defeat that being.

"...Stardus, I'm guessing that area is heavily guarded. We should probably go around this way."

Egostic muttered with his usual hat and sharp eyes.

Seeing him like that, Stardus couldn't help but stare at his face.

'...Egostic, you've got those long eyelashes...'

"...Stardus?"

"Huh? ...Ah, yes. Let's go this way."

The questioning tone in his voice brought her back to her senses, and she nodded at his next words.

"Alright, then I'll teleport and hide first, you go ahead."

With those words, he disappeared before her eyes.

Only after he was completely gone did Stardus let out a small sigh.

'...I hope he didn't get spotted.'

With that thought, Stardus silently placed a hand on her chest.

Her heart was beating a little faster than usual.

Ever since last night, for some reason, whenever she looked at his face, her heart would beat faster than usual, and she blushed.

'...Ugh, I'm embarrassed.'

What a disgrace she had been last night.

...She could still remember herself, drunkenly falling into the arms of Egostic, burying her face in his chest but she couldn't quite remember what had happened just before she fell asleep.

She was so relaxed, so unbelievably so for a hero who was usually so stoic and strong.

...However, she is strange around Egostic. She felt herself relaxing in his presence, somehow relieved, and smiling unnecessarily.

She found herself enjoying every day of the past week with him around.

...always in battle-like situations, as heroes and villains. Terrorizers and terrorized... or facing off against an enemy in a dire situation.

This is the first time they've done normal things together...like eat breakfast, talk, go for a walk.

Sometimes, she almost forgot he was a villain.

...if he wasn't a villain.

She wondered if they could have always been like this if he was a hero.

She'd tease him and he'd tease her.

She wondered if they could have been together like that, laughing and being companions.

"...This is not the time to be thinking about this."

As she paced the corridors of the prison, lost in thought, she recalled her plan.

The goal of Egostic is to destroy the monster deep within this prison.
