Ever since Egostic took the Fallen Angel, Korea has been in more turmoil than anyone could have imagined.

If this isnt a show, then Egostic has gone from being a villain to being chosen by the gods, which means hes connected to them.

Even if this was a show, the fact that it had the ability to tear open the sky and make the viewers feel this much awe and holiness was something to behold.

And then there are the testimonies of experts who say it doesnt look like a hoax. The time and space distortions that theyve found in the moment of the angels descent, that theyve been able to investigate

It was a situation where there really was a God, and he sent an angel down to the world, and Korea, where the angel descended, was the chosen land of salvation, and Egostic was the messiah, and it was spreading like wildfire.

Of course, none of that mattered to Stardus.

Ha

~The offices of the Heroes Association~

The villains didnt think theyd get much attention if they carried out a terrorist attack while the whole country was buzzing with Egostic.

In the unexpected peace that came with the lack of terrorism, Stardus was dumbfounded.

Well, she heard that Egostic got an angel

To Shin Haru, the story didnt surprise her. It wasnt like it was the first time hed gotten an angel in the first place, and with all the things hed done, it wasnt that unusual for him to get one.

..

She already knew, sort of, that there was a god who gave her powers so Shin Harus problem wasnt anything else, it was that Egosticignored her today, just like last time.

And that, unbeknownst to her, it loomed large.

Egostic, why?

Stardus had reason to think so, actually.

Looking at his behavior so far: calling her after every attack, coming to her defense whenever she was in danger, even risking his own life for her

Especially in prisonHes been the first to touch her hand. Hes even slept in the same bed with her. HonestlyHmm?

How could he just change his mind like that overnight?

Changing his attitude

All sorts of thoughts were running through Stardus head.

Did he get tired of me? Did I do something wrong? Did I get too close to him in prison?

The hero whining about the villain disrespecting her is something you dont see everywhere but it was a serious issue for both parties.

Stardus herself was having a hard time keeping her mind off of it, and she was reminded of how much she valued the Egostic.

What do you think?

The next day Stardus confided in her friend, a light-blue-haired girl named Lee Seola.

.

Lee Seola listened to Stardus with her mouth agape.

There was only one reason why her face was so stiff.

Haru, its not the time for you to be grumbling to yourself.

Thats right.

Shed heard that Egostic was retiring soon.

Youre retiring?

Uh, Im just about done with this, and Ive got to get my villain business in order.

No UmYeah. I see.

You might say that theres nothing wrong with a villain retiring, but for Stardus, theres a big problem with losing contact with him.

Theres no way she could have told Haru that Egostic was retiring. If she did, Haru would naturally ask how she knew, and then she would have to explain her secret relationship with him. And what would happen then?

Lee Seola didnt want to get into a messy drama with her best friend over a man, so theres only one thing she can do.

Haru doesnt have much time, so

She should just go for it.

Lee Seola thought with a straight face.

To be honest, she was one hundred percent sure that Da-in had noticed that she liked him. Only an idiot would not know that.

But he, strangely enough, had never imagined that Stardus liked him. As if being involved with Stardus would make him a fool.

So, I guess Ill just have to tell him, and hell understand.

With that thought, she sighed and turned to Stardus, who was drinking tea, and asked her directly.

Tell me the truth, Haru, you like Egostic.

Uh, huh? What? Oh No?

When she asked that, Shin Haru reacted dramatically.

As Haru looks up at her with a flushed face, coughing, and watery eyes that shake, she has mixed feelings. No Haru, this is not the time. Its time to be proactive.

With that thought in mind, Lee Seola gave her some serious advice.

Haru, next time you see him, tell him how you feel, even if its indirectly.

What did you say? Its not like that.

She tried to say that it wasnt, but it didnt sound very convincing with her already flushed face and lost eyes.

Since you dont talk to each other, maybe its just a misunderstanding thats built up, huh? Haru, you dont really think of Egostic as more special than everyone else anyway, do you?

Yeah.

Then at least be honest about it. Its because you dont know what the other person thinks. If you say something like that, dont you think hell react?

Stardus was silently listening to Lee Seolas advice, but it seemed that she had her own ears perked up.

Anyway, thats how the hole was dug.

After parting ways with Stardus, Seola sighed and thought to herself,

Still, after all this time, they must have gotten the memo.

She sincerely hoped that the frustrating couple would get together soon.

Then maybe shed get her chance.

*

I like you.

Stardus muttered the words quietly as she lay on the bed, her blonde locks hanging down.

Not necessarily, like.

Ill tell him what I think about him.

But doesnt that mean I like him, even if its not necessarily in a sexual sense?

Stardus hand rose and fell across her chest, pondering the question.

Yeah

Next time we meet, Ill confess my feelings.

Im worried.

***

[Jesus, why dont you start the meeting?]

First of all, me lol.

=[Comment]=

[Egostic Is he God? Egostic Is he God? Egostic Is he God? Egostic Is he God? Egostic Is he God? Egostic Is he God? Egoistic Is he God?]

[Its just that God-Sticks performance begins now haha]

[Koreas largest output. If you think its mango sticks, then its okay haha. First of all, me first haha]

[My heart aches every time I watch the video of the angels descent, as if there is some kind of hypnosis in it.]

[Republic of Korea <A country with angels haha]

[Oh my god, where is the villain that the angel calls master? Hahaha. This is just a hero.]

[Rather, its the ultimate villain Even the angel may have become NTR]

[Gasp]

[The worlds number one villain from now on is Mango Stick]

[Mango Star is completely destroyed hahaha Angel Stick is a piece of cake haha]

[Really, how did the community come to talk about this haha]

[You should watch that video. I have no choice but to believe in God]

[I can feel something just by looking at it]

Da-in. Look at this.

Okay, Seo-eun

Two days after that incident Seo-eun was having fun watching me being the talk of the whole country.

Dont call me master, just call me Mr. Da-in.

How can I call you differently?

No

This angel, by the way, was embarrassing me in real time.

I must have gotten the spell wrong, because shes not listening to me.

Meanwhile, Seo Ja-young, who saw me training the angel like that, was lying there with a dazed face and muttering to herself.

I want to dress her in a maids outfit, since shes always around her master. A maid angel Im about to be arrested for blasphemy. Hmph

Judging by the strange glint in her eye, well have to wait.

Anyway, weve been spending the last few days getting to know this new member, Angel.

Shes basically the tallest of the group (minus me), with long blonde hair, golden eyes unlike Stardus, and a pair of large white wings on her back.

Her defining characteristic was her almost unconditional obedience to my commands.

Ownership of this angel had been seamlessly transferred to me, which was a good thing, because I didnt have to worry about her rebelling.

Perhaps Celeste will follow my lead when she comes along.

I was relieved to have another trusted ally.

By the way, I gave her a name because I couldnt keep calling her Angel.

Shes an angel, but theres no Halo, so how about Halo?

Sounds good.

Anyway, the most characteristic thing about this angel is.

Halo.

Yes, master.

Whenever I call her, she teleports to wherever I am.

It was a very useful feature. Especially since I now have someone to rescue me if Im kidnapped anywhere.

In a way, it felt like an upscale version of our Death Knight companion.

[Hmmm youre not thinking something weird, are you?]

Ugh. Get away from me, unholy one. Youre bringing a curse on my master.

[No, what is this lady doing to me?!]

For the record, our angel didnt seem to like Mr. Desik very much

Anyway, I was having such a peaceful and unconventional day.

Da-in, I have a letter for you.

Until an invitation letter came from Cathedral.

Hmm. Its been two days since I took the Sun Gods servant.

Its been a long time since the last time the Cathedral was held, so even if its time for a gathering Its quite a coincidence.

As expected.

By now, Celeste should be

Im sure shes in the shit.

Shell be furious and angry that Ive stolen the Sun Gods creation that she worships more than her own life. Its even more amazing that she didnt break into my house.

Well, if I dont go to Cathedral, she will attack me.

Seo-eun, Ill be right back. And

I looked at the angel, who was looking at me with innocent golden eyes, and chuckled.

You too, get ready to go, Halo.

Okay.

Go give Celeste a taste of your angelic power.

Toughness is a villains virtue, isnt it?
