C58: Consultation

I cant believe you believed in the Apple Mango conspiracy theory. What the heck!

Her friend, Lee Seol-ah, who says so with her mouth covered.

When Shin Ha-ru glared at her with an uneven look, she finally smiled and lowered her hand.

Hehe, Im kidding. Dont get angry.

Im serious.

Oh, my. Are you upset, Haru? What should I do?~

Seol-ah, who kept making fun of her with a smile, returned to her usual expression and spoke up after coughing.

Yeah, well, it certainly sounds weird. He did terrorism, but also a villain who doesnt want people to die

Seol-ah, who was lost in thought for a moment, twisted her sky blue hair slightly with her hands and continued.

Its just possible, isnt it? Its kind of like an entertainer. The kind of person who enjoys getting peoples attention? I guess so. Yeah How can I say that?

After choosing a horse for a moment, she clapped her hands and said,

You can say hes a villain who wants to terrorize, but doesnt want to kill civilians. From the fact that he contacted me to save the people who were killed in the terrorist attacks he committed.

Seol-ah, who said so, crossed her arms and nodded as if it was a solution to her worries. Then she drinks green tea again to relieve her thirst.

Shin Haru, who had only listened to it quietly, immediately opened his mouth and asked,

.So you think hes harmless?

Huh? To say that hes harmless First of all, he destroyed buildings and airplanes. Hes a villain. Just a villain who doesnt like civilians dying. Can I say hes harmless? Better than the villains trying to kill all civilians.

And when I see the hacking skills and the money youre throwing at me this time, Im sure theres something going on, but Im relieved to hear you. It would have been more terrible if you had that much ability and tried to kill people.

Seol-ah took a sip of tea again.

Looking at Haru, who was still looking worried, she said with a smile again.

Did you ask for this unnies advice because you were worried about that? You were wondering if he was a villain or not?

Whos unnie? No, well, theres something Ive been thinking

Theres nothing to think about. There are villains like this and that in the world. There are villains who try to kill five people and juggle them, but there might be villains who dont like to kill. You dont have to worry about it. In the future, the terror he causes will only cause civilian damage to the extent that you can prevent it. Killing villains Well, its a private sanction, but its not about killing civilians.

Seeing Seol-ah talking as if she was worried about something, it would be better if she didnt kill someone with terror, Haru has a strange feeling.

Yes. If she thinks about it in common sense, Seol-ah is right. A villain who wants to cause terrorism without civilian casualties. Egostic. Its a matter of ending if you define him like that.

The reason for terrorism is to be seen as simply for pleasure like any other villain.

Maybe thats the normal interpretation of the Egostic.

But she still had some doubts. She cant explain it in words, but Intuition felt strongly in her.

The idea that it is not just his own pursuit of pleasure that causes terrorism, but that there may be other reasons.

Looking at the way he was terrorizing, there was something he was aiming for rather than simply enjoying terrorism.

The idea that with some other intention, something is intended and is likely to be causing terrorism.

What is that? All her thoughts are still dismissed as delusions because she doesnt know them.

Looking at Harus face in agony again, Seol-ah laughed.

No, its a day. I thought it would be a big problem if you called me here. Was it about a villain? What if hes such a workaholic?

She shakes her head in such a way.

Haru. Were people, too. When Im not working, Ill empty my head and rest. Right? If youre a college student, you can go to events. So, can you make friends?

I have a friend.

Oh, the senior you mentioned? Thats not a friend. Shes an older sister! Anyway, lets rest when we rest. So would you ever date a guy?

Youve never dated a man either.

Seol-ahs face turned slightly red at Shin Harus words, who hit her bone while listening quietly.

No, I control my privacy at the group level. Me too! If it wasnt for surveillance.

Yes, yes. All right.

Seol-ah, who was grinning at Shin Harus words, who soon smiled at her, too.

As the story of Egostic moved on, they began to talk about how they were doing.

What Lee Seol-ah brought up is her recent worries.

Sigh Its very stressful that every move I make goes to the press.

Lee Seol-ah.

Her friend, she has ice power, an A-class hero in charge of Busan.

At the same time, she is also the daughter of the chairman of Yuseong Enterprise, one of the largest Korean companies. She is often said to be a third-generation chaebol.

No, hero work is fun for me, and its good to have a positive impact on the company, but Why is everyone so interested in what Im wearing?

She sighed, reaching for the table.

Haru could only say, It must be hard. to her.

Unlike Stardus, who thoroughly hides her identity by actions such as being impaired, Icicle did not hide her identity.

Even before she was called Icicle for awakening her ability in the first place, she was already a well-known figure by the name of Lee Seol-ah, the third generation.

So, she did not hide her identity from her, just like the name of Lee Seol-ah, and even when she was a hero, she went bare-faced without doing anything such as interfering with her perception.

Well, I havent interfered as hard as I did since I started this, so thats good. Honestly, its because I think I have a positive influence on our companys image.

Youre living a hard life, too.

Yeah, Im glad Busan has fewer terror attacks than the metropolitan area. If there were a lot like you Wow

Lee Seol-ah, who said so far, took out her cell phone with her tongue sticking out. She read an article, she crumpled her face.

One day, wondering about this, asked her.

Whats wrong?

No, were rivals. Theres a crazy guy named Kim Sun-woo, who was one of the technical advisers, and hes been released. He did some illegal experiments and got caught. Howd he get out of here? He mustve been doing things in the lobby again.

Kim Sunwoo

Phew. Nothings going well these days.

Seol-ah put her cell phone back on the desk with a chuckle.

And so they kept talking.

Time flew by, and it became a deep night.

rain on the outside

Shall we go now?

Yes.

Thats how the two decided to break up here.

Outside the cafe, bodyguards in sunglasses and suits stood in front of the cafe.

Miss. Get in.

Oh, Haru, do you want a ride? Its raining.

No, Im going to take a walk. You go first.

Really? Okay. Do you have an umbrella? Mister, give me an umbrella!

Haru received an umbrella from the people in the suit in front of her and thanked them.

Haru, Im leaving. If you have another concern, call me right away, okay?

Yes, go home safely.

So she saw her friend off in a black limousine.

Soon the car was out of sight, and she began to move toward the house.

Raindrops were hitting the umbrella

She went on, relying on an umbrella, on the night streets where only raindrops could be heard.

It was nice to meet a friend after a long time.

Seol-ah was the only friend with whom she could talk openly.

Walking slowly, she looked up at the sky.

The dark sky, as its almost dawn.

Looking at the sky where only the moon was floating alone, she was lost in thought again.

In the end, Seol-ah also advised her not to pay particular attention to that Egostic guy.

Its just a villain who doesnt want to hurt people, nothing more.

But Haru still cared.

Seol-ah feels like shes missing something.

Her gut feeling hes been doing something big.

And I dont think hes as bad as I thought, unfounded and ridiculous And yet the thoughts that keep ringing in her head.

So Stardus was trying to penetrate quite a bit of the essence of Ego Stick with her super-sense without herself realizing.

Of course, as she doesnt know his true self, now she just feels uncomfortable so she wants to stay alert n him.

Haa

Looking at the dark night sky, she just sighed.

She just feels upset about Egostic.

Shes sure Egostic is lying down while having his stomach full.

***

Cough, cough.

Ahhhhhhh!! Whats wrong with you? Dont you need to see a doctor? Lets go to the hospital!

Seo-eun, how can I go to the, cough, hospital. Ill be all right in a little while, cough.

Youre spilling a bucket of blood, whats all right!

Da-in, you cant die Sob.

In a large mansion deep in the mountains

I was now vomiting a bucket of blood while lying down.

The sight of people swarming in the mansion, surrounding me and worrying.

At that door, I can see Ha-yul looking at me with a pale face.

Damn it.

Did I work too much on that bridge?

Cough.

My blood is coming out again.

Its so unfair. How much did I use to do this?

Im such a sucker.,.

I blew up the bridge and fainted as soon as I got home and woke up three days later.

As soon as I woke up, I vomit a bucket of blood.

I feel like dying.

Will one day Stardus find out that Im working hard for her and fly over here?

No. She wont come, maybe.

Oh, my

Cough, cough.

Ahhhhhaha

And Seo Eun, stop screaming
