I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain - Chapter 104
104 – EP4. Afterword (3)
“Are you worried?”
“Of course I’m worried. “You haven’t had a proper vacation since that day, right?”
“That can’t be helped. Because I am a hero. “The more difficult times are, the more we need to lead everyone.”
“Before he is a hero, he is a person. “Why don’t you ask for the fans’ understanding to give you a little break?”
“You know that’s not something the guy who threw me out on a date would say, right?”
Then, does it make sense for an idol to say the word “Date” So loosely?
For a moment, I even felt burdened by my actions that crossed the line of joking.
“…… Well, I know I’m not qualified to say this.”
Kana, who had been talking with a smile until now, suddenly became quiet. Afterwards, what appeared on her face towards me was a very bitter smile.
“In the end, I wasn’t the one who defeated Seolhwaran. “It wouldn’t be very desirable for me to be this close to you, even though I couldn’t fulfill my promise.”
“… ….”
“… “Could you please wait a little longer?”
Nevertheless, passion is visible in her eyes.
Even though I missed the opportunity, it is not a failure. He said he has not lost his will yet and will continue to move forward.
But why is it me?
In the end, it is fate that we will separate from each other when the time comes.

Still, if I prepare for that time, I… ….
Do I really have to use this mind to achieve my goal?
“Kana, are you here? It’s almost time for the performance to begin…….”
“Ah, manager! “This way! This way!”
Immediately afterwards, Kana responds to a cry heard from far away.
When she came to her senses and looked back, she saw someone approaching this place.
Her appearance looks strangely familiar……. Uh? For a moment.
Why is that guy here?
“Ah, is this your first time seeing me? “Then I guess I should introduce you here.”
Unlike me, who was frozen in place due to her embarrassment, Kana expressed her joy. Afterwards, a smile was drawn on her face the whole time she pointed out her opponent.
“Before you took over as my manager, you were my manager first. He is someone who took care of me in many ways even before I debuted…….”
Yes, like introducing a really close person.
But I couldn’t bear to hear the story behind it.
Even if I didn’t listen to Cana’s words, I knew the person in front of me very well.
“Nice to meet you.”
And that goes for her too. Afterwards, a woman who introduced herself as Kana’s manager politely bowed her head and greeted me.
She has long white hair tied neatly behind her back.
Blue eyes hidden behind red-rimmed glasses. Her snow-white skin was reminiscent of Russian culture, but her facial shape was closer to Eastern culture like Kana.
In my memory, the impression clearly seemed sharp, but at this moment, those eyes seemed to have softened even further.
“My name is Yunseol Lee, an employee of Entertainment Spirit and the manager in charge of Spiritas.”
Yes, it was someone I knew.
Was this the first time since that day that you met her?
“You are correct, Mr. Gingerbread, right? I often heard stories from Kana. When I went back to my hometown, even though it was only for a short time, he took care of me…….”
Seolhwa raises his glasses while saying that…….
No, now it should be called the profit theory.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Yunseol. “This is Gingerbread, an acquaintance of Cana’s.”
It’s been 3 years since I infiltrated society… ….
No, around the time we enter the 4th year.
I was very used to lying.

‘hahahaha, I was wondering who would bring this dying guy to me.’
When I finally returned with the help of Shadow after completing my battle in the underground, the first thing I went to was none other than Anatomy.
There was friction, but there was no choice. Not only was it impossible to take her, her villain, to proper doctors, but her condition at the time was too serious to be taken to the bastards who were acting like doctors.
Literally, only humans who can treat at the genetic level are allowed to touch it. He was the only person I knew who could do something like that.
‘It’s a miracle that I’m really alive. Still, if you want to live like a human being, you have to replace every part of your body, right?
‘Tell me whether it can be fixed or not.’
‘You can fix it, but you’ll probably have to give up on multigift. ‘I guess it will be impossible to live as a villain from now on.’
Yes, the body was almost frozen to prevent collapse due to the multi-gift. Since one can survive only by replacing the entire body, it is natural that all traces of modification are lost.
But that actually came as a relief to me.
‘…… Rather, it worked out well. ‘There’s no need to get involved in any more bullsh*t.’
Wasn’t she the one who took advantage of her evil because of her power, and was caught up in her uncontrollable scale and did what she did?
In that case, all she has to do is take away all that power from the beginning. If she really does that, she won’t even lose her purpose of revenge and go on a wild rampage.
‘You also know that if you become a nobody, there is no reason for me to be interested, right?’
‘… ….’
‘… Yeah buddy, I have absolutely no reason to spare that guy. Nevertheless, if he wants to keep him alive, he will have to pay some kind of price.’
Certainly, given his personality, he would not show mercy to someone who cannot walk the same path as him.
It’s natural to ask for a deal. But can I really achieve what he wants?
‘What do you want?’
What came back to me, who was so anxious, was a truly unexpected answer.
‘Just pretend everything that happened at the motel never happened.’
‘What?’
‘Literally, I’m trying to forget about what happened there from now on. In addition to the sh*t I did to you, I also let this guy head there.’
‘… ….’
‘If you don’t like it, don’t do it? ‘I don’t really care either way.’
‘No, okay. ‘I will do that.’
In exchange for saving her life, I settle all of her grudges…….
When I thought about what he had done, there were many things that made no sense, but even so, I couldn’t bear to say anything about it.
To him, wasn’t I more than just a bug, a bug that lived under the Transcendent without even knowing what to do?
Why did such a guy suddenly demand redress of his grudges in return? When I went to rescue Seolhwaran, did he also have a change of heart?
-Rattling.
…… No, whatever it is, there is nothing to avoid immediately.
Above all, if he can heal her, it means that he won’t have direct malice towards me or that guy in the future.
No matter what happens, let’s value her recovery.
That was the end of the treatment at that time.
“Now, drink.”
Afterwards, when Kana’s performance was in full swing, she took a moment to sit side by side on a bench in the park with her outing.
A warm drink perfect for the chilly, snowy winter months.
“…… “It’s hot chocolate.”
“If you don’t like it, can you exchange it for black?”
“Oh, no. “Hot chocolate is enough.”
“If you say so, that’s right. “The kids’ taste preferences are still the same.”
“… “Don’t make fun of me.”
“Then why don’t you break your habit of sleeping while hugging a doll?”
Lee Yun-seol curls up making a sound.
I looked at her and laughed, sat down next to her on the bench, and brought her coffee to her mouth.
“Mr. Brad… ….”
Lee Yun-seol looked at that scene and said.
“Mr. Brad, do you like black?”
“Oh well. “It’s not that I don’t like sweets, but I don’t like sugar in my coffee.”
“I see. “I should remember that.”
“…… “I’m trying to remember everything.”
“That’s right. “I haven’t completely figured out about you yet.”
Lee Yun-seol said and brought hot chocolate to his mouth.
The smile on my face must have come from joy.
It’s just that he taught me what I like…….
No, even that would be cherished by her now.
Because when she last broke up, she really had nothing left.
“… By the way, you are also amazing. “How could you think of wearing the villain label and becoming the strongest manager on the hero side?”
When I think about it, there were a lot of strange things about my first meeting with her.
She, a villain, wandered around the heroine contest site with her bare face exposed, and later, she even came to Shells Town and came to my boss’s home.
All of that was possible not only by acting as a civilian, but also by having an identity related to the hero side.
Yes, if the place you infiltrated is an agency that handles heroes, it would be entirely possible.
“I wanted to check.”
And I guess the reason she took on the role of Kana’s manager before me was because of a bad relationship from her past.
“You want to check, what?”
“I wonder what the person who went out of his way to save me left behind.”
Hero Jack Horse.
The man called Cheonma.
“What does a person who despairs of this society but cannot bear to turn them into enemies leaves behind?”
It was known in the world that he won the battle with Seolhwaran, but his condition worsened and he died.
But the reality is different. Even with the mighty power of Absolute Zero, she couldn’t even reach the toes of the one called the Heavenly Demon.
Nevertheless, the reason she was able to save her life in the battle that day was purely because the person called Cheonma showed her mercy.
“…… “What kind of person was Cheonma?”
No, is it closer to personal disillusionment than compassion?
Rather, as he was a hero with a noble spirit, he must have been very sensitive to the injustice committed by the forces he belonged to.
“He is a poor man. “Because the attempt to make the world beautiful has been reduced to a means to bury the world’s filth.”
“…..”
