Ep.128 You’re Mistaken
[Stardus fever in Korea. #Stardus, there’s no sign of disappearing on the trending chart…]
[Hot topic… Stardus’ battle highlight video surpassed 10 million views in a short period of ti… It’s on the list of popular videos around the world.]
[Even foreigners are paying attention to this incident… She’s the prideful Korean Hero Stardus who ended the first incident in which day turned into night.]
[The most popular hero of all ti… The association is winning every battle.]
“Hahahahahahahaha!!!”
After the incident ended,
On the top floor of the Hero Association in Korea.
There, the president of the association was laughing loudly.
“Hey, Stardus. Are you feeling better now?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Yes! As expected, our Stardus. You were amazing this ti! Do you know how surprised I was thinking our country was going to be ruined? Hahahaha!”
The president keeps laughing.
And looking at that reaction, Shin Haru felt uncomfortable.
‘……Was it really who knocked him downed it?’
All right.
The last attack she sent against the monster, emitting the light, had a surprising output even now when she thinks about it.
Perhaps the strongest attack she has ever done.
But.
Shin Haru never thought she could knock it down with that attack.
She only did it with the determination to give it a final punch at the last minute.
Her instinct is telling her that it couldn’t go down with this usual simple attack. I don’t know if there’s sothing else like its “weakness.”
So.
Shin Haru couldn’t believe she knocked it down with such an attack.
And.
“Stardus, don’t worry. I’ll take responsibility and contact the International Association’s general affairs office to make sure that you should be promoted to S-level imdiately! Hahaha, an S-class, in our association! Hahahaha!”
“…..”
Looking at the president who firmly believed she had knocked it down, she beca increasingly uncomfortable.
….Did she really knock it down?
In addition to that doubt, a hazy mory that she saw after it fell down and before she also lost her consciousness.
There was a loud, gun-like noise when she flew the attack.
Soone must have been standing on the roof.
….And that soone might be.
As Shin Haru thought of soone, the laughter of the president filled the conference room again.
“Stardus anyway. I’ll give you a bonus this ti, so take a good rest, okay? Go on a trip sowhere. I heard that there is a warm sea in the East Sea despite this weather, so go and get so rest. You should give yourself so reward, too. Now that you’re a national star, hahahaha!!!”
“That’s right, Haru. Take a rest since you worked hard. Hiccup. You did an amazing job, didn’t you?”
Icicle also said so with a warm smile on her red face.
Shadow Walker, who was deep in thought next to her, suddenly ca to his senses and spoke up.
“Hmm… hmm, huh? Oh, yeah, Stardus. Your fight was aweso. Let’s get so rest for now. Aren’t you the hero of Korea? Icicle already said she’ll take care of everything else.”
“…Excuse , hiccup. Ja-hyun? When did I say that?”
After the president, Icicle and Shadow Walker said such things to her, Stardus suddenly feels a bit guilty.
…Right, she did fight for her life.
But was it she who finished it?
The shooting sound, the shadow on the roof.
She knew more than anyone else, the one that had a gun as his main weapon, seed to wear a mask, and always saved himself in a mont of crisis.
At the sa ti, a figure of a man passed through her head, but she shook her head.
….Too speculative. She might have misheard it and mistook it at the end because she was exhausted. There’s no evidence other than her own intuition. And he’s a villain in the first place.
But.
Shin Haru’s intuition shouted strongly until the end that one thing was certain.
….It wasn’t sothing she could knock down.
She’s sure that soone else helped her.
Maybe, surely he…
“Haha! To knock that monster down on you’re own, Stardus. The more I think about it, the more…”
“President.”
She cut off the chairman of the association who was so excitedly talking
Eventually, Stardus, Shin Haru confessed.
“…No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I’m the one who knocked it down.”
The mont her words were finished
A sudden chill atmosphere
“….What did you say?”
The president’s face stiffened after hearing her shocking statent.
There were people who were even more shocked than him.
“……..Hiccup.”
“…..!”
Icicle and Shadow Walker turned pale.
***
“What are you talking about, Haru? Of course, you’re the one who knocked it down, hahaha, hiccup. Are you mistaken?”
The first one to speak out in such a frozen atmosphere was Icicle.
She had already heard the whole story from Da-in, so she knew he had secretly knocked down the monster.
‘…And because I’m doing it with the right timing, Stardus will never, ever know I did it. I’m sure that she will think that she did it.’
‘…Da-in, you said Haru wouldn’t know!’
Lee Seola, who seed to hear him confidently on the phone, complained inside and continued to talk to Stardus, holding her dizzy head.
“Who else would knock it down other than you? Haru, did you hurt your head after passing out?”
“No. I definitely saw it. There was soone on the roof. And maybe it’s that person who knocked it down.”
“Stardus, it can’t be.”
“…Shadow Walker?”
Stardus questioned as Shadow Walker suddenly spoke up.
With her gaze, Shadow Walker thought quietly inside.
‘…Egostic. He definitely said he didn’t want to be identified.’
Then he recalled his mories on the rooftop that day.
He said he didn’t want to be known, and he wanted to live in the dark as a villain.
And he kept vomiting blood.
And there, Shadowwalker created a hypothesis.
‘…Does he have a ti limit?’
Why on earth does the man live as a villain, not a hero? He’s doing good deeds, but claiming to be a villain?
Why did he seem to care about the world and people more than anyone else?
…Is it because his ti is limited, he’s probably doing it in case he dies while staying active as a hero, and people in the world will lose hope?
The ti is set anyway… If he wants to refuse any affection, just lives quietly as a villain and protects the world, then.
‘…Whoa. Egotistic. As expected, you’re a real man.’
A hidden hero who protects the world in the dark… Egostic…
So Shadow walker, who wrote an epic poem in his head, concluded.
Yeah, I can at least do this for such a true hero like you, Egostic.
Don’t worry, Egostic. Leave it to .
Shadow Walker obsessed with that belief and again spoke brazenly to Stardus.
“I looked all around you just before you knocked it down for the last ti. No one was near. Of course, there was no one on the rooftop.”
“…No way.”
“Trust , Stardus. Don’t you think that I can notice that much no matter how weak my ability got in the dark?”
“At that ti, there was no one around you. You’re the one who knocked it down.”
“That’s right, Haru. Who could have been there? Of course, you knocked it down. I guess you mistook it since you’re feeling empty these days. Do you want to recomnd a good vacation spot to you?”
“…….”
“…Hahaha! Yeah, Stardus, you’re mistaken. Oh my, I was really surprised. Then I have to explain to the reporters how our association helped, so I’ll go now.”
“Oh, Haru. I’m going to go, too. Ha, these days, businesses and politicians are all going crazy because they can’t eat up my business, hiccup. The counterasures… Whew, I’m so fed up, really.”
“…I’ll go too. I’m definitely so sleepy since I’m awake during the day… But Icicle, is that alcohol?”
“What? I’m going crazy without this these days, so I have to drink it regularly.”
“……You’ve been hiccuping for a while… That. Nevermind. Do what you want.”
Their conversation gradually faded away
Soon in the conference room, Stardus was the only one left.
“……”
Everyone left the room.
Stardus, who remained so alone, murmured quietly with a serious expression.
“…No, that can’t be the case…”
A situation in which everyone except herself tells her that she’s mistaken as if they planned it.
….I’m mistaken?
That’s ridiculous. That’s really ridiculous.
Now that everyone denied it, she was confused.
Am I really just mistaken?
“…That, no matter how much I think about it, seed like Egostic.”
She finally admitted herself.
…Yeah, maybe she’s mistaken because she depends so much on Egostic.
Wait. Depend? I’m relying on Egostic, the villain?
“……”
Blush.
She blushed without realizing it, shaking her head and quickly correcting her thoughts.
No way. My condition is weak these days so I’m getting confused.
…But really, it really did look like Egostic. That’s what her gut tells her.
“…Am I delusional?”
No.
Still, it seed like Egostic knocked it down.
She was just muttering to herself quietly.
Okay.
….This ti, I trust my gut.
With that in mind, she suddenly ca to her senses and looked around the empty conference room.
….Wait. But co to think of it, everyone’s gone and I’m alone.
Just like that, Shin Haru who was sitting alone in an empty large office got up from her seat.
…Everyone was too much.
***
[Let’s talk about how Mangbung’s soul got sucked.]
Just like every day, I was having a hard ti at work.
Suddenly, I heard a crackling sound outside.
So I went out in a hurry. But fuck, it got dark and a monster ca out.
Everyone saw it and went ‘Aaaahhhh!’ and they started running everywhere.
Suddenly I couldn’t move my body as if soone had grabbed , and then I was caught in the air and dragged to that monster;;;
Then suddenly, a feeling like soone had pulled my hair?
I felt sothing coming out of my body like an ice cream got squeezed.
I did invest in soul collecting a lot, but I didn’t expect my soul to be collected one day.
Anyway, after being caught, it felt so strange. I was stuck next to the monster, but it felt like I was dreaming. I was a little unconscious.
I was staying like that, then suddenly a yellow light flashed and I ca back to my body. Without Stardus, my soul wouldn’t have gone back to , right? Fuck, it’s scary just thinking about it.
I just feel it today, but it was like I went to the afterlife…
I know it sounds a bit nonsense.
Conclusion: Starting today, I decided to support EgoStar.
= [Comnt] =
[The conclusion is a bit weird though?]
[Fuck hahahahahaha. It’s a rare experience I’ve seen in my life.]
[Seeing you finally accept EgoStar, it must’ve been a good experience.]
[Suddenly beca an EgoStar supporter hahaha. It’s not even related to Egostic.]
ㄴ[Oh, OP likes both Mango and Stardus, so wouldn’t it be twice as good if you combine those two?]
*
“Ha, cough. That’s funny, cough. Cough!”
“Da-in! Are you okay?”
“Oh, of course, cough. I’m fi-… Cough. Cough!!!”
“AAAH! HA-YUL!!!”
“I’m coming!”
Ever since the incident ended.
After passing out, I was still bleeding when I woke up.
Ha. I only teleport a few tis and now I’m on verge of dying. Does it even make sense?
People with poor skills will be so sad…
“I really can’t live because of you, Da-in!”
“Seo-eun… I’m going to pass out… Eunwol, cough. Give a new handkerchief over there.”
“Okay, okay!”
Ha.
I have to hurry up and retire, really.
