Ep.115 Declaration
[Hero Public Poll… ‘Surprise appearance’ of villain Egostic in the top chart.]
Hero poll after Moonlight Shaman attack has been released.
Which hero is the most trustworthy? The poll, which was conducted through the question, shows something quite unique.
1st place] Stardus.
2nd place] Shadow Walker.
3rd place] Egostic.
4th place] Icicle.
5th place] Vorderman.
(Picture: Korea’s ARS Research Lab public poll’s results. 95% reliability level with ±3.0% error range)
As usual, A-class heroes appear to be at the top of the list, but what’s unique is that Egostic, a villain, is ranked.
The public poll institution was also shocked and did a double-check, which is truly a surprising result.
It can be explained that Egostic is receiving a lot of support and love even though he is a villain.

I mean. Why is my name in the Hero public poll? Doesn’t that mean someone put my name on it when they polled in the first place?
What is this…
“Tsk…”
“Da-in, what are you thinking about?”
A fine Sunday morning
I was sitting on the sofa with a serious face, Seo-eun came to the living room with a bucket of ice cream and asked me.
“Terrorism…”
“What?”
“I think we should start a new terrorist attack this time”
I muttered.
The impact of this incident has been much greater than I expected, and the situation has come to take action immediately.
Gosh… I just didn’t know people would be this crazy about one villain recruiting another villain.
To be honest, I expected people who originally liked me to go crazy, but I didn’t know it would turn out this way.
I turned on the broadcast on purpose to prevent this, but why the hell…
As expected, the only way to reverse public opinion is to immediately cause new terrorism.
Yeah, I’ll have to get back to work. I’ve been resting for too long.
Once again, it’s time to show people the spicy taste of K-villain.
…What should I do then?
When I was thinking about what kind of terror I would do,
Seo-eun, who was listening to me, suddenly put down the ice cream canister and approached me.
“You’re going to start a new terrorist attack?”
“Yes, I’m planning to break into the musical…”
“I have a better idea than that, brother.”
After saying that, Seo-eun smiled confidently.
“Because I’ve already made plans!”
“…You?”
I tilted my head at Seo-eun’s sudden words.
Why did Seo-eun suddenly do such an amazing job?
“…It’s time to reveal it. Come with me.”
Seo-eun still beckoned to me with a confident smile.
So I was brought to the basement without knowing why.
What the hell is she going to show me?
My curiosity deepened as I entered the depths of the underground base.
“…Seo-eun, how far are you going?”
“We’re almost there. Here!”
Finally, a huge iron gate opens.
The lights turned on and what she revealed.
“…What is this?”
“Starbuster. It’s a big Stardus strategy weapon I created!”
A thick iron-clad suit, seen behind her screaming confidently, about twice the height of a person.
When a person entered the top, it was like a structure that controlled a huge iron weapon placed underneath. And for some reason, it’s a familiar name, and even with a familiar appearance.
What is this?
“…Did you make this on your own?”
“I made the overall design, and Sehee helped me a little.”
She talked while wiping the tip of her nose as if she were introducing some new secret weapon.
Under the circumstances, I think the reason why the two of them always went down to the basement was to make this.
“What do you think?”
I complimented Seo-eun, who said so while looking up at me with sparkling eyes.
“That’s cool. You did a great job!”
“Ha! I know, right?”
Now, Seo-eun smiled without hiding her pride. It’s cute.
It’s cute, but…
To Seo-eun, who was still talking, I asked the most important question.
“So, who’s going to ride this?”
“Of course, me!”
Looking at Seo-eun answering confidently, I tapped my forehead.
“…No.”
“What did you say?”
Until earlier, I could feel the warm atmosphere hardening in an instant.
Seo-eun looks at me with a stiffened expression. Looking at her determined eyes, I felt it would not be an easy fight.
Gosh. Raising a kid was the hardest thing in the world.
***
“Seo-eun, you’re too young. You’re still a minor. If I put you on a terrorist attack, I’ll be arrested for any crimes.”
“Haa. So far, you’ve already planned terrorism with me and hacked other things, but it’s already enough for you to be caught.”
We returned to our home.
There, Seo-eun was trying to persuade me.
“Even so, you can’t because it might be dangerous. Can you deal with Stardus with this in the first place…? She’s much stronger than you think.”
She answered in a confident voice.
“Da-in, no matter how strong she is, I can beat her with my Starbuster. Do you know what this is made of?”
“…Iron?”
“What are you talking about? Would I have tried to deal with Stardus with that? It’s made of materials that are tens of times harder than iron, which is hard to get now. I’m sure he’ll hold out most fists.”
Gosh, I was so nervous even when she said that.
As I was thinking that way, Choi Sehee, who suddenly popped out of nowhere, came out and assisted Seo-eun.
“Hey. I made this with her, and it was really strong. No matter how much I attack, there’s no scratch.”
“That’s right. And honestly, how long have we been together?””
Seo-eun suddenly asked.
I thought about it for a while.
“… Has it been almost 3 years?”
“That’s right. I was next to you before any other Ego Stream members. But look at this.”
Seo-eun is giving me her cell phone saying that.
On the screen, there was a post somewhere on the familiar cafe gate.

[Villain Union_Ego Stream_Organization (Latest Edition)]
Egostic: Korea’s most recognizable villain in name and reality. Just looking at what he’s done by himself so far, he’s all in the TOP.
Electra: Electricity manipulation. She’s an A-class villain.
Death Knight: A ghost(?) one-on-one encounter with Stardus. I guess it’s possible for him to revive.
Moonlight Shaman: That’s right, the woman who was introduced to the whole country this time. Her ability is overwhelming, as you’ve seen this time. She’s an S-class.
Saintess: Again, for the first time on the show this time. Her ability is not yet known. Presumably related to magic, buff, and healing.
And even Le Peace with a huge airship there.
The lineup is already incredible.

“…What about this?”
I tilted my head when Seo-eun suddenly showed this, she shouted as if she was frustrated.
“It doesn’t have my name. Just my name! Ha-yul was added in this time. Does it make sense that I’m the only one who doesn’t”
…Though that may be the case.
My thoughts were interrupted by her.
“No. I’ve endured it for a long time, now I’m going to step out. I’m going to let the world know. That I’m here!”
Why would you want to step up so much?
Even though I didn’t understand it well, I thought quietly while looking at Seo-eun’s burning eyes.
…Come to think of it, I think it’s the first time Seo-eun has come forward and asked for something.
“…Okay then.”
“Really?”
Seo-eun, who immediately changed her posture with my consent, glittered her eyes.
I was going to oppose it.
….Since she wants to go for it so much. I think I could give her a chance once.
“Yeah. On one condition, I have to go with you, too.”
“Of course, we have to come forward together. There’s no meaning if I go by myself, right?”
Seo-eun grinned.
…I feel uneasy somehow.
“Oh, and this is finally my first debut, so I’ll take charge of the directing. I can do that, right?”
“Okay… Do whatever you want.”
“Whoa… Stardus, I’m going to knock her down myself…”
Seo-eun is strangely motivated.
…I don’t know what Stardus did to motivate her to knock the girl down like that, but I decided to support her first.
I have to prepare a plan to save Seo-eun at the end.
***
At Shin Haru’s house.
Shin Haru, who returned home after a long time, fell down on her bed.
“…Phew.”
Having become more disturbed these days, she began to think about one thing or another inside.
What was it?
….Why did she stop there?
Even so.
When she lost all hope in front of the storm.
Seeing him appear.
To be honest, her heart fluttered a little then.
“……I’m afraid I’ll just stick it on the wall.”
After attaching a picture of Egostic, she was even thinking if she should write “bad guy” next to him really big.
…And breaking into that situation anyway, he was trying to raise his own villain’s union. She doesn’t think there was any particular intention.
No. Nothing’s sure.
Seriously, what if he was actually not willing to destroy the world?
“Ugh…”
She gripped her hair, which throbbed with confusion.
Egostic. It was always like this when she thought about him. She thinks he’s a bad guy, but she keeps thinking, ‘Is he really a bad guy…?’
“….”
All right.
For now, let’s focus on something else.
It’s Egostic anyway. It’s only once every three months that he causes terrorism, so it’ll be a long time to see him again.
She’s already a senior in college, and she has to think about what she’s going to do after graduation. She can’t play all the rest of the time because she’s doing hero activities sometimes.
Yeah, about Egostic. She can sort it out until then before he comes back.
To her, who was rubbing her eyes thinking so, the phone’s ringtone rang from the desk side.
What she saw as she stood up from her bed and approached it mumbling, ‘Who is it?’ is one word of “The Association” written big on the phone screen.
She was surprised by the news that she had never expected.
[Stardus! Egostic has caused a terrorist attack! Please get ready!]
“What…?”
