I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain - Chapter 105
105 – EP4. Afterword (4) – Part 1 Complete
The poor children whom justice could not save are instead made into sacrifices for justice.
Even though he knew about the nonsense of sacrificing the children he was supposed to protect, what he could have done would have been to protect the world he had cultivated, even if only through silence, taking that secret to the grave.
If her opponent had been someone other than her Heavenly Demon, her results might have been different.
“…… “Did Cheonma know that you became that guy’s manager?”
“No, he had already died of illness at that time. “I approached him before he debuted as an idol.”
That’s right.
Given this guy’s personality, for some reason he probably didn’t want to show himself to the guy who saved him.
Probably the only time I visited the man called Cheonma again was for his funeral.
“…… His successor.”
However, if he still remains in our hearts, our interest would naturally turn to the things he has accomplished since then.
“I wanted to purely see what he left behind as he raised the world’s resentment towards me. Is he a seed of evil or a follower of justice?”
“… ….”
“… Yes, even though he despaired of the world, he left behind hope to replace himself in this world. He couldn’t believe he would pull a knife on a child like that. “Fate is truly cruel.”
Lee Yun-seol looks down at a can of hot chocolate that has not cooled down yet.
A very painful emotion was depicted on that face. For her, who had accomplished nothing of her own volition, the choice she made at the time was also unavoidable.
If Kana was killed on the spot…….
If that had happened, it wouldn’t have led to a situation where all of her subordinates who trusted and followed her were wiped out.
“Are you going to fight her?”
But that will not lead to resentment toward Kana.
They were the ones who committed the affair in the first place, and Kana just did what she had to do.
Evil should not be understood by anyone, and it is also something that everyone has decided to do. Now that he has retired from the front line, how can he be swayed by personal resentment?
“…… I have to fight. “Not now, but in the distant future.”
That is what she chose to walk a different path from me.
I spoke honestly to her about her future.
“Are you going to stop me?”
“I don’t have the right to do that. “Now I’m not a villain, and I’ve even lost the power to pursue that path.”
She smiled bitterly and looked down at her own hands.
Even the frost that can barely be created at the tip of one’s fingertips is only a very thin level compared to the snow falling from the sky.
Perhaps even the chill of this winter day would feel cold to her now. I could feel it just by looking at it.
The villain Seol Hwa-ran had already died in the fight that day.
So, no matter what the association’s policy is, the choice to calm the situation by using her death as a symbol of victory will not come with regrets.

“Take responsibility?”
But is it really okay to leave like this? While thinking about it, I blurted out something.
“Yes. Yes!?”
Lee Yoon-seol jumps up from his seat in surprise.
Her wide-open eyes and red face showed that she was embarrassed.
She was so surprised that she even dropped the can of hot chocolate she was holding in her hand. Damn it, she drank it all. If she messed up, her shoes would have been dirty.
“No, because you lost your strength because of me. Shouldn’t I find a way to restore that power? “I also thought about it.”
“Ah, yes. In that sense… ….”
“…… “Does it have any other meaning?”
“Oh, it’s nothing!”
Seol Hwa-ran is startled and quickly looks away.
“Well, just…” ….”
She looked at him with an incomprehensible expression, and then she covered her mouth with the muffler she wore around her neck.
“Just as long as we meet like this occasionally, that’s okay.”
“… ….”
“…… Are you in trouble?”
A cautious tone of voice, as if crawling inside. Moist eyes with a hint of shyness.
The moment she faced that appearance, her mouth became stiff as if it had been frozen.
What should I say… ….
Okay, I guess I should say that this guy looked like a woman for just this moment.
She was confident that she never had such feelings until now, but is it because she is no longer her villain that she is worried now?
“Is that really okay?”
Yes, because she is not a villain now.
And I too, just in case.
If I didn’t have a mission to accomplish, she wouldn’t have tried to leave this unstable and dangerous woman alone.
“Yes, really…” ….”
“Really?”
But no matter how much she had a mission to accomplish, she thought that she should not be left like this.
She is one of the people who gave me the opportunity to walk this path.
Even though it may not have been established by her law, she was one of the main pillars of this mindset that made me who I am today.
“…… Mr. Brad.”
Did he read my true feelings?
Soon she calmed down and revealed her true feelings to me.
“As long as my identity is not known, I will continue to live as a member of society. “I may never have to live as a villain in the future.”
Yes, the person who will be the target of revenge has disappeared.
Of course, there remains a world that ignores even such a person’s affair, but even madness is only possible if there is the power to encourage it.
She is weak now. In the reprieve I provided for her, she must have repeated that situation endlessly.
“If even in the unlikely event that someone discovers my true identity and accuses me, I will calmly walk to the gallows to pay for that crime. “When that time comes, even if you help me, I will try to reject it.”
That is also fully understandable.
Unlike back then, now she can make choices of her own will. If she chooses to be judged for her sins herself, I would have no right to stop her.
“Still… ….”
But the next words.
“Still, if you’re in danger, I’ll run anywhere.”
I couldn’t take the words just now lightly.
“You have fulfilled my purpose, but you have not yet achieved your ideal. So, just like you, who had no strength, ran to save me. “I will run to you, even in this body.”
The moment a chilly wind blows.
A woman faces me, standing firm, even though her body doesn’t even have the strength to withstand the cold.
“That’s all.”
Her wet eyes melt away her chill and clearly reveal her own emotions.
“Could you please allow just that?”
Beyond being the savior of her life, the look in her eyes shows her wanting to entrust her own life and her future.
I thought it was sad rather than heavy.
Why she.
Even though she has finally had a chance to move away from her evil, she still cannot let go of her lingering affection for those who live as evildoers.
“…… I.”
But if that is also my responsibility.
If that is also an ordeal I have to endure, I will accept it with joy.
“If I become strong enough to not need that kind of help, then you will never have to come out into the world, right?”
The trials that did not kill me make me stronger.
Isn’t that what you’ve learned along the way?
“…… “You’re still the same.”
Lee Yoon-seol stares at me like that and then bursts into laughter.
“You’re still a pretentious idiot.”
The kindness depicted in her eyes was clearly directed towards me.
Now, finally.
As if he understood the human being I am.
“It’s okay to bluff. “If only I could move on.”
That is enough for now. Thinking about her, he lifted her body up from her seat and turned his back on her.
“…… “I’ll just go now.”
There are still a lot of things I want to say, but now is not the only opportunity.
I widened the distance for a moment, thinking that if I had more to say, I could go ahead and resolve it.
“Next time.”
Both arms that grabbed me as I was about to leave.
I don’t feel any strength at all, but I feel warmth from the head resting on my back.
“See you next time. “Bread.”
I felt it when I heard the whisper accompanied by such warmth.
To her and to her, to her and to her.
There is still a tomorrow.
***
Yes, the law is far and the fist is close, but there is a tomorrow for people.
Those who forget that and live only for today are called villains in the world.
For those who are not guaranteed the safety of law and morality, assuming plans for the distant future may be considered a luxury in itself.
Nevertheless, what should you do if you dream of the future even though you are pursuing evil?
Is dreaming of ambitions that will be fulfilled not now but in the distant future something a villain should not do?
“Welcome, my father.”
The answer to such concerns can be found just by stepping into the front door of your home.
By keeping in mind the red-haired girl standing there as if she had been waiting.
“Yes, I went… ….”
Yes, I am a villain now.
He was once a great evil, but now he has become very weak.
Nevertheless, he dreams of a comeback in the future, and is still a helper to those who make an effort to learn about the world.
How could I, who must protect her, take this disguised life lightly?
“…… “Why do you do that?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
If tomorrow does not exist for the villain, he would have to hide his true intentions in order to dream of the future.
So, it is when we seize the opportunity that we reveal our true colors.
This will be the moment when the seeds of evil, planted in the burial ground ignored by this world, sprout.
“I’m back, Moya.”
So, until the promised time comes, I will play her father.
I will destroy everything with these hands.
I lead a daily life with my lord, who will lead this broken world.
He is not a father, he is a villain Part 1. END
