I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

359 – Her Heart Throbbing

Korea Hero Association.

The atmosphere… has brightened considerably.

“Hello~.”

“Ha ha… Yes, hello. Stardust.”

All thanks to none other than Stardust, currently the only S-class hero.

She, who had been cold and serious for almost half a year now.

…Of course, being a hero constantly on the line between life and death, it was understandable, but the always taciturn and sharp atmosphere about her…

Changed.

“…..hehehehe.”

For some reason, she was always smiling and sometimes even laughing as if she had a pleasant thought.

…For the employees who had only seen her cold and sharp demeanor, it was a very bewildering event.

“…Stardust, have you had any good news recently?”

“Well… Even so, I’m glad to see you brightening up.”

Of course, thanks to her, the stiff atmosphere of the association was greatly relaxed, and the employees all liked it.

Even the chairman of the association.

“Hmm. Stardust has been cheerful lately, hasn’t she?”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“…That’s a good thing! Ha ha, finally, she’s coming to life! Oh, I thought I was going to die of fear until now…”

The chairman, slumped in his chair, wiping his shiny head…

…He had been quite relieved because he had been tormented by the cold Stardust for a while.

“Well, seeing how she’s suddenly like that, she must’ve got a man, hasn’t she? Ha ha! I don’t know who he is, but I’m really grateful!”

After figuring that out with one look, the chairman, laughing heartily while clutching his stomach, didn’t know.

…That Stardust’s lover was a villain.

And the fact that he would later fall clutching the back of his neck when he found out…

Well. Whatever happens.

Recently, Stardust, Shinharu, has been in a good mood.

The best she has ever been.

‘I will never leave you again. I will always be by your side.’

“…Hmm.”

At the end of the day’s work, in the evening.

On the bed.

Haru, lying there, was smiling with a slightly blushed face, clutching her blanket.

Finally, she confessed her feelings to Egoistic. No, should we call him Da-in now? And he accepted her feelings.

Could there be anything better than this?

“…Hmm.”

To Haru, who was smiling so brightly,

…All her previous anxiety, impatience, and fatigue, had nearly disappeared.

In other words, she had almost returned to her old self.

Her head could finally make rational decisions…!

And perhaps because of that,

Whenever she suddenly remembered the disgraceful actions she committed in the past, she tended to react dramatically.

“Uh…”

…For instance, like now, when she recalled how she had cried and flown at the sight of Egoistic.

She would inevitably feel a sense of shame…

‘…I must have been crazy back then.’

It would have been better if she had approached the situation more seriously. But at that time, she couldn’t control her emotions.

No, on the contrary, wasn’t it because of that she was able to get along well with Egoistic, and in the end… kiss him?

“Hmm…”

As she blushed and unconsciously touched her lips,

She soon felt her heart filling with a faithful sense of happiness.

Now, she didn’t feel much jealousy towards Ego-stream, rather thinking of them made her chuckle.

‘…Of course.’

The fact that Egoistic was still living with them made her anxious…

But she couldn’t help it. After all, he must have his own circumstances.

In reality… she didn’t know, but the guilt she felt when she thought Egoistic was terminally ill still lingered deep in her heart, making the idea of stealing him away somehow uncomfortable.

Of course, she couldn’t forgive him if he cheated.

“Uh…”

Unknowingly, with her deadened eyes and her pale complexion, she brought her fingernails to her lips, then she abruptly pulled her hand away in surprise.

…Yes. Let’s not have such dark thoughts.

Instead, should she keep in mind a house that wouldn’t attract attention in preparation for any unforeseen circumstances? It would be great if it had a basement where escape would be impossible. A place no one could reach.

With these various thoughts, she spent her sleepless day, soon sighing while staring at the ceiling.

Of course, everything was not resolved.

The biggest problem was that it was difficult to communicate. She had agreed with Stardust that it could be a bit tricky if their relationship was exposed to Egoistrim and the others. If they knew about their relationship, there’s no telling how they might react.

Of course, she knew his contact information… but the fact that the opportunity to meet was rare was a sad thing.

Especially after they had such an intimate relationship last time.

“…I miss him.”

She hugged the pillow next to her and murmured like that.

I miss him. I miss him. I miss him. I miss him.

It would be nice if he was lying next to her. It would be nice if he hugged her again like that time. It would be nice if he smiled at her. It would be nice if they could kiss again. It would be nice if they could spend the night together…

With these thoughts, Stardust rubbed her eyes and went to sleep.

Waiting for the day to see Egoistrim again.

‘…Should I consult with Seol-Ah. It should be okay to tell Seol-Ah…’

That thought was all she had in her sleep.

***

Late into the night.

After Egoistrim left his office.

Seol-Ah looked at the moon that had risen in the night sky and smiled.

“So it went as planned.”

Finally, Egoistrim and Stardust were connected.

That meant, she was one step closer to her grand plan.

She had made many preparations for this day.

Haru did not actively deny that Egoistic was on borrowed time, and Egoistic was not informed that Stardust had become such a state, all because of that reason.

Haru’s best friend, Lee Seol-Ah. And since she was also Haru’s best friend, she knew almost everything about Haru.

If Haru mistakenly believed that he had limited time, she knew that Haru would have a dramatic reaction when he saw Egoistic again. And the moment the misunderstanding was cleared, he would confess everything.

If not, the two would still be frustratingly stuck in the same place… This was the right choice.

Anyway, in the end, they successfully brought the two together according to plan.

That meant that the path was finally open.

“…If Egoistic had connected with Eghostream first, ugh…”

There might not have been a chance for her. After all, there was a strong bond between them.

But if Stardust was first, it would be a different story.

Because she was the one who was the closest friend to Haru.

‘Stimulate Haru and connect with Eghostream…’

Good. That’s good.

This would be the best approach.

Even when they saw it long ago, the eyes of the Eghostream members…

Those eyes showed that they had no intention of giving up.

‘Ugh…’

Lee Seol-Ah shivered at the thought alone.

…Yes. It was necessary to prevent Egoistic from being kidnapped and divided into ten pieces.

This was for the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people.

…Egoistic wouldn’t know. The tearful struggle behind him.

“Sigh… Alright.”

With such thoughts, Lee Seol-Ah looked at the city lights under her night sky.

‘…I also need to consider Egoistic’s ability, Inflation, there’s so much to do…’

She sighed as she sorted out the tasks she needed to do.

It was a night with various thoughts crossing each other.

As the advent of the Sun God draws near, the influence of his power amplifies, causing all ability users around the world to strengthen and plunge the world into chaos in Phase 4.

The original work unfolded in a way that no one, not even the readers, could have anticipated. It was a shocking development.

However, I, who knew all of this in advance, had no intention of letting the world be so greatly shocked by this.

‘…Really, the original author was the worst.’

One of the heroes, who was much stronger, was laughing off an attack from a weaker villain, only for his head to suddenly explode. It was shocking. I was furious about how far the author was willing to take this.

“….”

I, who had vowed in this world to make Stardust happy no matter what, began to write.

To be honest, I wasn’t worried about Stardust’s body itself. Because the biggest beneficiary of Phase 4 was Stardust…

To put it simply, everyone’s abilities strengthen in Phase 4 because the advent of the Sun God is nearing. In other words, the influence of the Sun God has grown.

And Stardust, who becomes stronger under the power of the sun, has his abilities multiplied several times over in the situation when a god, made of 100 percent pure solar power, is approaching earth. In other words, he is in a constant state of awakening.

While the strengthening of other ability users’ powers can be considered an addition, Stardust’s was a multiplication. That’s why I said it’s enough that Stardust has become this strong now. He’s already much stronger than in the original work, and if his strength is inflated from here, it will be enough to reach the limit of his abilities. There was no higher place to go.

Anyway, why does the powerful Stardust become frail after Phase 4?

…Naturally, it was because of others, not himself. With the power amplification, numerous villains caused chaos, and society became close to anarchy. They killed each other off even before the Sun God arrived. That must have been the Sun God’s scheme.

Anyway, I had no intention of watching the world turn into a mess, enough to bring tears to Stardust’s eyes. …Now more than ever.

In other words, we needed to figure out what to do with the Villain Union Cathedral, which was at the forefront of world destruction.

And to do that, I had to meet Celeste.

Everything was for Stardust.

Muttering to myself, I put on a mask and prepared to meet Celeste at the next cathedral.

‘Is this the weight of the mask…’

I thought to myself.

Phew, it’s not easy.
