Seo-eun received it, and she cried while reading the posts on the screen with slightly red eyes.
“…Sehee, what is this?”
“What do you mean? These are the posts that say you are cute in this terrorist attack. What do you think? It gives you a little encouragement, right?”
“…Ha. Sehee, I’m not even an elementary school student. Would I suddenly feel good to see this? I’m not normally a person who cares about what people think.”
Seo-eun, it would have been better if you only said that without a smile on your lips.
So Seo-eun looked at her phone for a long time. And other posts. Sehee was standing in front of me and she was like, ‘Hmm… Give it back to me, will you?’
Seo-eun, who focused on reading my fan cafe posts, stopped crying and clenched her fist tightly.
“….Yeah! This was not my only attack, but I’ll still be there, and I’ll win then!”
Seo-eun, who suddenly spoke confidently, whispered quietly and solemnly to me, who was sitting in front of her with her fist still tightly clenched in one hand.
“…Da-in, my Starbuster 2.0 will be different from last time. I’m going to make it like that.”
“Oh… Ok. Good luck?”
“It was good. Sehee!!!”
“H-Huh?
“Follow me to the basement! Starting today, we’re going to make the new Starbuster!”
“Hey, wait!”
Choi Sehee rushed after Seo-eun, who ran out of bed suddenly full of motivation.
“……”
Well.
Anyway, she’s got her energy up, so it’s good, right?
For your information, Seo-eun, who was running, was caught by Soobin in the living room and scolded. She complained about how she could run around as soon as she woke up after fainting.
Oh, dear.
***
“Whew…”
Seo Eun’s problem is solved well.
Looking at Seo-eun lying in bed and chit-chatting with Eun-wol and Choi Sehee, I came out of the living room again and slumped on the sofa, and then took the remote control nearby to turn on the TV.
[Egostic started a new terrorist attack. How did citizens react?]
[Yes. Nothing unexpected happened this time, too. There were no casualties, and the hostages were released safely. In particular, one of the people who was taken hostage was a fan of Egostic, so she said she was happier.]
….I should stop watching.
I kept skipping the channels and changed it to the one where the movie came out, and soon sighed again.
“Gosh…”
“Da-in, what’s with the long sigh?”
Lee Ha-yul, who was in the nearby kitchen, came along.
She looked at me with a concerned look.
I told her my concerns honestly.
“I mean… I certainly caused terrorism to lose my popularity, but there’s no use…”
It’s not like I cannot understand.
Since when has it never been a problem to keep a person in a cage, intimidate them, and threaten them with a gun?
There is something wrong with Korea in this world. I’ve been terrorizing hard and sincerely, and it’s strange that people don’t realize that.
And Ha-yul said it with a slightly vague expression at my words.
“…Hmm, Da-in. To be honest, I think your popularity will continue unless at least one person dies in your attack. Actually, it’s kind of weird that there are no casualties in terrorism.”
She finished her statement of conviction while blurring the end of her words.
I told her straight away.
“…I can’t kill people. “
One thing I promised myself as I decided to be a villain here.
I won’t kill civilians. I just can’t.
…Well, from the beginning, with or without casualties, I took hostages and attempted murder dozens of times. Why the hell doesn’t that bother anyone?
“Haa… That’s why it’s a problem.”
“Da-in, you look tired, do you want me to clear your head?”
“Oh? Yeah, that would be good for me. Thank you.”
When I finished talking, Ha-yul sat me on the sofa and rubbed my shoulders.
…?
“Ha-yul, weren’t you going to use that healing power?”
“It’s better to use my skills while massaging like this, so stay still.”
“Umm… OK. Thank you.”
Ha-yul’s massage was cool.
…I don’t even remember how I ended up getting a massage, anyway.
That night.
I searched the video-sharing site in front of my desk in my room alone.
“Wow… No, it doesn’t have that much?”
I put Egostic in the search box, and all the videos that cursed me were gone. Now, they are treating me like a celebrity.
Egostic_Highlight, Egostic_Mad Movie, K-Villain_Egostic that surprised the world, and so on.
…No one is swearing at me?
It was only at that moment that I felt a great sense of alarm.
I mean, in the hero movie I saw before, even the good hero who shoots spiderwebs was exposed to the media crazily, but there’s no one in this world cursing the villain?
With that thought in mind, I searched ‘Egostic criticism’.
Then the search results shrink sharply.
All the videos of me in the early days of my terrorism were nowhere to be found.
As I was scrolling down with such a serious face.
“…There is, one.”
There was only one.
The video was some woman wondering, ‘Isn’t Egostic a terrorist?’
I don’t even bother saying ‘Of course?’ while watching the footage of the terrorist attack.
Something flashed through my mind.
“…Yeah.”
As long as no one’s going to hold me back.
Shouldn’t I just make a broadcast like in the hero movie?
