The Villains Became Obsessed Bosses - Chapter 106
Part 5 Episode 7: Decision.
Time passes sometimes too quickly, sometimes too slowly.
When I reminisce about the past, time passes before I can even grasp it.
The time that passes by surrounding oneself in the present moves slowly, like a highly viscous liquid.
But strangely enough, Obscure’s time seemed fast and yet slow.
The time he is awake, that is. This is because the time spent sober was significantly less.
“Apothecary! What are you doing? Give him more sleeping pills! The boss is trying to wake up! When he wakes up, he’ll try something else!”
“Huh…! I understand…!”
When my mind becomes even a little clearer, sleeping pills come in.
“Boss. I’m going to ask you a few questions. Please answer in detail. …Boss? Boss?……Apothecary. How much confessional agent did you administer?”
“The boss has a very high drug resistance… Twice the average…”
“……I like this boss too? Are there more?”
“Yes?”
“No, that’s enough.”
For the time I was awake, I remained in a dazed state of mind due to the medication.
But the good thing is.
“…Fool. Stupid. Really.”
When Hae-in comes in from time to time, he hits Obscue’s stomach with his small fist and falls asleep.
“…It is my duty to protect my master. I always did it.”
As Xiao sits next to him and quietly warms his hand.
“…Your appearance doesn’t make sense, boss.”
Bishop visits with the least frequency, perhaps because he is busy managing the organization.
“…I came and you didn’t wake up? Are you the arrogant boss?”
Evie Vendetta defeats all obstacles and sneaks in, poking Obscure’s cheek.
“…Seueueuup.”
…Snow Fox was chased out after being caught for hunting like a fox, burning fire in Obscur’s hand.
And a very unexpected person.
“……”
Shine visited him only once, looked down at the obscure in silence, and then left the room.
And at this time, Crow did not administer any medicine.
Although Obscure was still dazed, he was able to notice their visit.
Time passed at such an ambiguous speed.
“…Ugh…”
Obs Q woke up, holding his head in pain as a big or small migraine pounded his head irregularly, and turned his head around to look around.
The mind that had been dominated by drugs finally stretched and shook off the daze, and Obscue was finally able to realize where he was trapped.
“…Basement.”
The sight of Obscure sitting on a bed in the middle of an all-too-familiar basement seemed somewhat unnatural.
Obs Q looked around for a moment, then raised his body and put his feet out of the bed to get off the bed.
And.
“….!”
I encountered something strange attached to my body.
“…Prosthetic leg?”
At first glance, the prosthetic leg covered with human skin looked like an ordinary human leg, but Obscure was able to detect the strangeness through its instinct.
Obskew raised his hand and brought it into view.
“…Prosthetic hand.”
Skin.
Snow.
Mouth.
Everything had been ‘replaced’.
“..What is this?”
Obskew tried to get up, but his unfamiliar prosthetic legs could not support him.
“Pfft!”
Obscure fell to the floor with a small groan and muttered with a self-mocking smile.
“Damn it. Now I know why they gave me sleeping pills like that.”
Obscue tried to get up, but the unfamiliar prosthetic arm could not support him.
Obscue was whining like that.
“Cow!”
Suddenly, two crows flew in and grabbed him by both shoulders.
The crows holding on to both Obskue’s shoulders flapped their wings vigorously, and soon Obscue was sitting on the bed again.
“…It’s been a while. Sober.”
“That’s right, boss. It’s been a long time since we were alone together like this, huh?”
Crow came down to the basement with a light wink and said with a smile.
“How are you feeling?”
“The worst.”
“Hmm. It looks good!”
Crow put down the food in his hand next to the bed as if he was used to it and sat down in a chair he had been sitting on for some time.
“I’m here to talk, so you don’t have to be so nervous, boss.”
“Then tell me quickly from the main point.”
“…Is it true that humanity has returned? …By any chance, have you sold ‘compassion’ as well?”
“…….”
“…Ha. Really.”
Crow swept his bangs and spoke quietly.
“..Really, it’s amazing. I guess that’s why that being is targeting it as a top priority.”
“……”
Obscure looked at Crow in silence, and after hesitating for a moment, Crow opened his mouth again.
“…I was afraid to sell anything at that time. They were all things that were necessary to live as a human being.”
“……”
“Boss. Why does the boss want to live?”
“…?”
Obscure frowned at the sudden strange question, but soon relaxed his frown and answered.
“Of course…?”
Obscue was taken aback.
Why did he want to live?
Why did he struggle so hard to survive?
“…Don’t you know? Why did you want to survive?”
The Obscure’s pupils trembled violently and were fixed on Crow.
“When our incarnations were created, each of us was given a command. The being was somehow injected with a different command to increase its survival rate. In my case… It was ‘living like a human’. And in the queen’s case, “The boss was ‘living beautifully.’”
Crow said with a small smile.
“Nothing extra was attached. The goal was simply to ‘survive’. So to speak, it was a defective product.”
Obscue’s pupils began to tremble more violently.
“…Boss. I couldn’t sell anything of mine to live like a human being. But there was one thing I could sell.”
Crow smiled bitterly and grabbed the necklace around his neck.
“Lifespan.”
Crow looked down at the necklace in silence and then looked back at Obscure.
“Boss. There are two reasons why I came here today. One is to see your face. The other is…”
Crow hesitated.
After hesitating and hesitating.
I finally opened my mouth.
“I came to say goodbye.”
“…?”
Obscure raised his head.
Crow was smiling.
“I’m blocking it with this necklace now, but my lifespan is almost at an end. It’s to the point where I can’t stop it with this necklace. So…”
Crow smiled slyly.
“It will be the worst vessel in existence.”
“What are you trying to do?”
“…You know the basics now, right?”
“…No way, you.”
Crow stood up.
“It is inevitable that that being will descend. But…It is not inevitable that this world will be destroyed.”
“…!”
Obscure, who sensed Crow’s thoughts, stood up in astonishment.
“Sane…!”
Thump.
The prosthetic leg could not support him.
“Golden Supreme was very angry with me. He was so busy making it that he couldn’t even go to the boss. But he deliberately asked me to make the prosthetic leg and hand defective.”

“Crow!!!”
Obscure screamed and crawled towards Crow.
And looking at him like that, Crow smiled with sadness and spoke in a low voice.
“I’m not going to die, boss. I’m going to survive. Be human until the end.”
“Don’t be funny!”
Humanity began to struggle to raise him up.
But the absence of legs and arms that were sold to survive.
I prevented Crow from being captured.
“Hello, boss.”
“Super!!!”
Something attached to Crow’s body began to wriggle.
“Ira! Arcadia! Avariti! Lequrum! Invidia! Come to the master!”
Crow’s whole body began to boil.
That was it.
“…Even though I have completely recovered my humanity and severed the link… After all, the boss should not become a vessel. That would be the worst situation.”
Crow started going up the stairs.
The Obscure cried out the names of the Seven Deadly Sins.
No one.
I did not respond to his call.
Thump.
The door was closed.
“…Have you finished saying goodbye?”
“Yes. It’s refreshing.”
Xiao asked, looking at Crow with a worried look on her face, and Crow asked looking at Xiao.
“What about Haein?”
“…He was so vehemently opposed that I put him to sleep.”
“…Really. It’s so easy to get attached to who she resembles.”
Crow smiled again and waved his staff.
The black smoke swirled fiercely, enveloping Xiao and Crow.
A little time passed.
Crow and Xiao had moved to the middle of somewhere.
Her magical girls were all surrounding her there.
Even villains including Vendetta and Bishop joined in.
“..Hmm. Looks like preparations are complete.”
As Crow looked at them for a moment, a woman walked towards him.
“…For your sacrifice.”
The president bowed his head.
“Thank you very much.”
And Crow smiled and said, as if it was awkward, in response to that thank you.
“Why are you doing this? It’s okay, it’s okay. Let’s get ready quickly.”
Crow raised his head and looked at the sky.
“Because something impatient is coming.”
The sky was glowing ominously black.
“…………”
Obscure sat blankly and leaned against the bed.
His survival instinct was screaming at him to sit still and survive.
His humanity was tearing it apart.
That’s why he suffered and suffered again.
What should I do?
Obs Q lowered his head.
He encountered his own prosthetic leg.
“…….!”
Obscure opened his eyes wide as if he had thought of something and raised his head again.
“Black Merchant!”
I shouted loudly.
“I was waiting for you to call me. So, sir.”
The Black Merchant spoke while lying face down on the bed as if he had been there before.
“What is the purpose of calling me?”
Obscure looked blankly at the Black Merchant.
Sigh.
He smiled like Crow.
“Let’s make a deal. We need a bridge.”
