It's been a long time since Stardus faced a giant weapon.

"…Haa. Haa."

During the ongoing battle, she stopped the attack to catch her breath and was a little away from it.

Fortunately, he didn't mean to give her a break, or he chased me and attacked me.

Thanks to that, she was able to breathe out for a while like this.

"…Gosh."

The sight of her stealing sweat in the air looked very tiring.

The suit she was wearing was so tight that she could see the inside.

Her signature blonde hair is also fluttering around in the wind.

In such a situation, she judged herself objectively.

Her condition at the moment was not good even with empty words.

With the exception of this little break, I've spent hours constantly flying around and fighting against weapons that are many times my weight difference… In fact, it was great to stand like this now.

Her body itself is already overworked, so it's not strange if she falls down anytime.

In extreme situations like this where it's hard to make a flying fist.

Paradoxically, she felt her strength growing stronger.

"……"

In order to produce output in a state of weakness and in good condition.

Because she’s trying to use all her strength.

Unknowingly, the ability is gradually breaking through the limit.

Just as athletes improve their skills by running with sandbags.

The more she grit my teeth and try to exert her power as usual in a situation where she’s pushed to the limit, the more she feels like something is wriggling inside her.

Her power, which had been stagnant for a while, felt gradually growing again.

I have a hunch that I can grow explosively if I have a little more stimulation.

With that in mind, she looked once more at the control room of the giant weapon that Egostic would be carrying.

Did he do this knowing that his abilities could grow in this way?

…Maybe, for this?

‘You can do it.’

She shook her head, thinking of his voice playing back in her ear.

No matter how much you do, it won't go that far.

Maybe…

After taking a good rest, she took another breath and prepared to resume fighting.

Yeah. It's a great opportunity to grow strength, whether she intended it or not. The stronger you are, the more likely you will be able to protect your citizens from the villains.

For now, let's focus on beating him.

So determined, when she comes out again.

From the earphones she had forgotten to stick in her ears, a voice suddenly began to come out.

[Stardus. Stardus, can you hear me?]

"Sir…?"

As she was heading back to where the weapon was, she involuntarily stopped walking.

She’s busy fighting right now, why is he contacting her?

As if answering her question, the head of the association was heard over the earphones.

[There’s a change of plan. Prepare to withdraw soon.]

"What?"

She had no choice but to tilt her head at the president’s words. She's fighting so well right now, breaking through her limits, withdrawal? It's not a disadvantage

The head of the association continued in a low voice as she tried to ask questions without realizing it.

[The president shot GOAB to the place. It's about to fall into that giant weapon, so run away at the right time.]

"…What did he shoot?"

[…GOAB-3. It's a stealth guided missile. It's the most powerful missile at the moment, almost halving the surrounding area. It's already flying there now.]

The moment she heard it, her mind went blank. He fired a missile? Here?

No, but, wait.

"…In the first place, can you catch that with a missile?"

[Right. It's a secret developing it. It was so powerful that if it was in the middle of the city, the city would have flown away and not been able to shoot, but thanks to Egostic falling into the outskirts, we were able to shoot it.]

"Are you crazy? How can you shoot something like that here, no matter how hard it is!"

[What could I do? It's the president's decision. He said he would take this opportunity to make sure that the evil villains that mess up the country were eliminated. Also, to grow trust in the government.]

Stardus, who was excited up to that, tried to calm down and regain her reason.

Yeah. A-class villain. The justification is certain. Maybe there's no chance like this. Especially since he's stuck in that weapon, he can't afford to understand his surroundings.

"……"

Stardus stiffened her face at his words.

Both the Government and the Association are sincere.

Right now, it’s going to fly that giant weapon and Egostic at the same time.

…Yeah. Actually, it's not uncommon to kill an impossible villain.

Many of the A-class villains, including Egostic, are already on the summary execution list.

So

Now, in this place, Egostic will die?

"……"

No, it's not.

He'll notice a missile flying in.

He always looked down as if he knew everything from a step above him, so of course, he knows.

Yeah, so, maybe, he'll run away right away. There's teleportation, too.

I guess so

[Finally, you're back. Ms. Stardus! How long are you going to keep me waiting?]

As she came back quietly, his loud voice heard from the giant weapon.

…The villain who waits for the hero to rest enough without fighting.

"….."

Again, having a complex and subtle appreciation of Egostic, she thought.

Okay.

She’s sure he'll run away in the middle of course. Of course, she does.

And, there's still time for the missiles to fly. He'll be on the run soon.

Thinking that, as if nothing had happened, she continued the battle.

At the same time, her mind was complicated.

He'll notice and run away, right?

I'm sure you already know.

[Why can't you focus on the battle? Pay attention!]

And is it because she keeps flying with other thoughts?

He noticed that he was in a strange condition, so he shouted to concentrate.

…That's funny. Isn't it better for him if the enemy isn't concentrating?

[Stardus. The missile is about to drop. Let's get out of there.]

And, how long has it been? The voice of the president of the association in her ear.

When she heard him say that, she looked at Egostic again.

[Hahahahahaha!]

With his huge arms swinging, he still has no sense of vigilance.

It doesn't seem to know that the missile is falling over his head now.

"……"

Then, if she stays still now, he'll die like this.

Looking at him like that, she thought about him again for a moment.

Egostic. He's definitely a villain. The terror he's caused so far is many times.

So, even if the government tries to kill him, there's nothing wrong with it. Of course. Kill dangerous villains when they can.

But

Is it true that he ends like this here?

She thought.

In the face of his death

She doesn't deny him herself

For the first time, honestly

Egostic, she thought about him.

Egostic. She had initially concluded that he was, like all the other villains, a ‘bad guy' who intimidated people, felt joy, and committed terror for his own entertainment.

But since when?

When he realized that every time he started a terrorist attack, there were no deaths as a result?

When he found out that all the villains he killed were dangerous?

At the festival, when he stopped himself from stepping up and stepped up instead?

When she doesn't believe in herself, when she says she does?

At the scene of another villain's terror, when he even lied to himself as a hero?

When you confessed that the reason you collapsed the bridge was to save people?

She doesn’t know exactly when.

However, from some point on-. She's…

Just like that, she

She's dealing with the giant weapon that Egostic is controlling.

With her blonde hair fluttering

Only with his death on the horizon, did he admit it.

Since when did she.

She didn't think he was bad.

She doesn’t know exactly why.

When she looked at him, she didn't feel any evil that was common to other villains.

Sometimes, the reason why he causes terrorism, the reason why he antagonizes himself.

C, It often occurred to me that there was another hidden reason she didn't know.

Egostic is definitely a villain.

It's definitely a villain, why.

Every time she looks at him, she feels a strange sense of homogeneity inside.

From what point on, she doesn’t even think he's a villain.

Do you think he acts like that on purpose, contrary to what he thinks?

She, here, realized.

He wanted to believe in Egostic. No. Actually, I already believed it without realizing it.

He actually wants to save others, just like himself.

Perhaps the reason why he commits terrorism is because there is an inevitable reason why he has to do so.

At some point she was looking for a reason why Egostic wasn't a villain.

So she decided the moment she first acknowledged her feelings for him.

Egostic, you can't die like this.

And

‘This time… one, you owe me.'

Didn't he save himself once, too?

She owes him, doesn't she?

Yeah, he shouldn't die like this.

She’ll stop that missile herself.

After a moment of silence, she whispered quietly to the association.

"…I'm sorry."

[Huh? Stardus? Stardus? What? Hey! Shin Haru!]

She turned off the earphones that were plugged into her ear and connected to the association again.

And the moment her decision was made.

The action was quick.

She kicked her seat and flew into the sky.

Towards where the missiles are flying.

***

[Stardus, what are you doing?]

[What? Are they running away?]

[He's not running away. He's going up. What is he doing?]

[Our Byul Munji is crazy!]

[Like a rocket]

"What is he doing?""

She shouted in absurdity without realizing it.

Why is everyone suddenly jumping into the sky instead of fighting? Is it a fun hidden camera?

"Isn't it because you gave me so much stress that I'm going to explode and fly?"

"…I don't think so."

She raised my head from the golden one, and looked at Stardus, who kept flying into the sky.

No, for real.

What the hell is going on?
