Ep.119 One That Would Have the Fruit Must Climb the Tree
[Why is the new kid so cute? Hahaha]
I didn’t think that she was a villain at all, I watched it as if I was watching my granddaughter’s talent show hahaha.
She was so cute to call Stardus ‘auntie’ and Egostic ‘oppa’.
= [Comment] =
[‘I’m the first colleague!!’ It was so cute even when she said it haha]
ㄴ[She was sad that no one recognized her hahaha]
ㄴ [+ She thought she knocked down Stardus and bragged about it to Egostic]
[Even with the same honorifics, if Egostic does it, it’s kind of moody, but she’s just cute]
ㄴ[Since she said she’s a high school student, it’s right for to speak formally to adults]
[Why is everyone calling a terrorist ‘cute’, not ‘scary’?]
ㄴ[It’s not a terrorist attack. Just call it the main event]
ㄴ[It was Mango’s concert]
*
[What kind of place is Ego Stream…?]
A high school girl who is a genius hacker who pulled out a biological weapon (no cap)
Death Knight resurrects even if he dies
Moonlight Shaman, who has NTRed someone’s pseudo-religion.
Even Mango Stick is suspiciously influential…
And they’re even close like a family…?
Damn it!! You Mango Stick, what did you create…?
= [Comment] =
[The Hero Association better hide, because Mango Stream is coming~]
[Are you ignoring Korea’s treasure Egostic?]
[Why are you leaving out Ego Stream’s first member, Electra, in the text?? What the?? You want to fight?]
ㄴ[You’re suspiciously angry. Are you from Electric Mango Union?]
ㄴ[Oh wow, they still have people in Egotra Union? Vicious hahaha.]
*
[What’s meaningful about their declaration about ‘Same house’?]
Along with his statement about Ego Stream members are like family.
Considering the ‘same house’ statement that the hacker high school girl.
Don’t you think Ego Stream members all live together in one big house?
= [Comment] =
[Oh my]
[It’s really possible]
[Among the Ego Stream members confirmed so far, aren’t there four women? Oh my god]
ㄴ[Haremstic.]
ㄴ[Is the Egotra Union going to be revived????]
ㄴ[MangoMoon Union has the advantage, the electric one is already crushed.]
ㄴ[Didn’t you see Moonlight Shaman’s appearance this time? I can’t believe you still could say that]
ㄴ[Hey, newbie… ‘Ice Mango’ is real….]
ㄴW[Crazy bitches, stop arguing about your OTPs in the comments. Fuck.]
ㄴ[Looking at how you got angry, you must be an EgoStar supporter, huh?]
ㄴW[How did you know?]
ㄴ[Fuck hahahahahahaha.]
[If all the members live in the same house, what would they do together? I’m so curious]
***
Deep in a mountain where no one can find.
A large house standing proudly in the middle of it.
It’s the Ego Stream headquarters.
Surpassed Korea’s No. 1 Villain Union, it’s now about to become Korea’s No. 1 superpower group.
And me, the founder of this union.
was busy trying to soothe crying Seo-eun.
“Sob…”
“It’s all right, it’s all right.”
As soon as she woke up after one night of passing out, Seo-eun sat on the bed blankly and suddenly shed tears in her eyes.
She suddenly cried as soon as she woke up, so I was surprised, and I’ve been soothing her since then. I mean, what made her upset? Why is she crying?
“Sob… I could’ve won…”
Oh, she got upset about that.
…But Seo-eun, hmm. It didn’t seem like you were going to win though…?
Seo-eun, who was still in my arms, soon began to apologize to me.
“I’m sorry, Da-in… If I did a little better, I could have won…”
“No, it’s okay, it’s okay. You didn’t have to win.”
“Sob…”
Soon I held crying Seo-eun in my arms and comforted her, thinking quietly.
Actually, Seo-eun… It was a fight that you shouldn’t have won in the first place.
Ego Stream itself is an organization designed to periodically challenge Stardus, and if she beat the real Stardus, I would somehow be in trouble.
…Or not? If she had lost, would I have tried harder?
While stroking Seo-eun with that thought in mind, Soobin and Choi Sehee’s faces peeked out from the door behind Seo-eun’s back.
I think they came because they heard her cry.
Choi Sehee silently mouthed, ‘Can I come in?’, so I nodded slightly.
Yeah. Help me soothe the kid.
Choi Sehee entered the room and soon talked to Seo-eun next to her.
“Hey, Seo-eun.”
“What?!”
As she suddenly heard Choi Sehee’s voice, Seo-eun startled.
Then she fell out of my arms and said,
“S-Sehee?”
“Yes, it’s me. Don’t cry and look at this.”
Choi Sehee handed over her phone.
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?
“…..”
….I guess I’m a genius.
