This Villain is Soft - Chapter 13



Only Noblemtl

Episode 13

‘It would be better to go knowing what kind of person he is.’

Solmae was not on the list of villains. It seemed that ‘Eunhaon’ was not only involved with villains.

Ha-on, who was stretching once more, went out of the bedroom and looked around as a sudden thought occurred to him.

“Joo-yeol, where are you?”

There was no answer, only a rustling sound coming from somewhere.

“… … ?”

Haon looked towards the place where the sound was coming from with a puzzled expression.

Juyeol was standing in front of the door leading to the stairs leading to the second floor.

I tried pressing this and that to open the door, but it didn’t seem to work.

“I couldn’t open it because I didn’t know the password.”

As he approached and spoke, his black eyes glanced down at Haon. His face was complicated.

She asked, wondering if it was because she was tired.

“But you were sitting like that all night? You could have slept comfortably in bed.”

Joo-yeol responded curtly, moving his feet towards another door.

“How can you sleep there when it’s so uncomfortable?”

“It was clean.”

When Haon tilted his head, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“I bet your bedding is clean.”

I glanced toward the bedroom with a disgusted look, then checked the locked door.

He stayed up all night, but he wasn’t very tired.

Since I wasn’t called out or exercised during the night due to my hero duties suspension, I had a lot of energy left.

But I felt mentally tired from thinking all night.

“You can open here!”

A small hand appeared from the side and pressed the number keys without hesitation.

Joo-yeol’s entire attention was focused on Eun-ha-on, who was standing next to him.

“Juyeol… … .”

“You can’t go anywhere… … .”

“You’re all I have left now.”

The words she blurted out as she fell asleep last night lingered in my ears.

Even as he entered through the door that Haon had opened, his mind was in confusion.

I know that Eunhaon has a problem with his head and considers me his best friend.

‘Why me?’

But I don’t know why it has to be me.

Judging from how scared he was of River yesterday, he’s not shy and friendly with everyone.

I can’t be sure, but I’m sure that favor wasn’t directed at everyone.

‘Is that me, the one you saw right after you got your head hurt? Like a duckling imprint or something?’

Joo-yeol felt unfamiliar with Ha-on, who acted as if he couldn’t live without him.

‘Why are you sleeping so defenseless?’

I was seething with irritation. I felt like I was being tested by someone.

It seemed like he was teasing me by asking me to guess whether Eunhaon was crazy, rehabilitated, or a ghost in disguise.

Ha-on, who had been chasing after her, asked quietly.

“Juyeol-ah. Do you happen to know Solmae?”

“Why that old man.”

“Oh, it was the old man Solmae.”

He covered his mouth in surprise and then continued speaking.

“I wonder if he knows about your brother.”

“You should know. I helped treat my brother’s wounds when he was little.”

“Is Mr. Solmae a doctor?”

“Back alley unlicensed doctor. A quack.”

“A stone-thrower… …?”

Haon unnaturally shut his mouth at those words.

It seems he had a difficult childhood to the point of having to see a quack doctor.

And it was still strange.

Since ‘Eunhaon’ wasn’t registered as a villain, he could have easily gone to a regular hospital.

It was quite suspicious that I frequently met unlicensed doctors.

“Do you know what kind of relationship ‘Eunhaon’ had with Solmae?”

“I don’t know. I heard other heroes reporting that you’ve been visiting Solmae a lot lately.”

“I see,” Ha-on nodded, then looked up at Ju-yeol.

You’re answering my questions well today. Come to think of it, you’ve been kind since last night.

He didn’t just sit next to me for a little while and then go somewhere else, he stayed by my side all night. He didn’t curse or point a gun at me.

Haon’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“Juyeol-ah. Do you now believe that I am a different person from the ‘Eunhaon’ who used to live here?”

Joo-yeol, who had been trying hard to ignore her gaze, looked at her clear eyes with a trembling look.

“no.”

Haon pursed his lips as if disappointed by the firm answer, then spoke resolutely.

“It’s okay. Once I fix my phone, I can show you pictures of my friend ‘Juyeol.’”

Then he proudly shrugged his shoulders.

“Then you will believe me too!”

Joo-yeol looked up at the ceiling in a swaying posture and then sighed.

All the photos and videos confiscated from Eunhaon by the Hero Headquarters were fake.

They are all cleverly composited and edited, so you can’t believe anything they show you.

However, there is a way to verify that this galaxy ion is really a mad scientist and not someone else.

“Hey. You should meet the hunter once… … .”

For a moment, Ju-yeol’s sharp gaze turned towards the entrance.

“Why, why?”

Haon, who was a little scared, also looked back at the front door.

Boom, bang, bang!

“Galaxy! Open it!”

At that moment, a woman’s voice was heard along with the sound of a knock on the front door.

“Chacha… … ?”

As I realized who it was, it occurred to me that there was a hero in this house right now.

“Oh, what should I do?”

Haon looked at him worriedly.

Then, the lamp that had been in front of my eyes disappeared into the shadow of a large display case.

“wow.”

As expected, I wasn’t mistaken in the lab. When I realized that he was in the shadows, I felt a ripple of mana.

Haon opened the front door, thinking, ‘I wonder if the awakened ones can feel Mana’s waves.’

“what’s the matter?”

As soon as the door opened, Chacha entered the house and sat down on the sofa, catching her breath.

“I came up because the lab was locked.”

“Yeah. I just have some things to do at home. But why?”

“I wanted to add something to the weapon I was commissioned to make.”

“ah.”

By the way, Chacha said that he came to find the commissioned item and found the dead ‘Eunhaon’.

“I’ll take it today. Surely your hands aren’t stupid either?”

“That’s… … uh, what are you trying to add?”

“Turn the firepower two or three times harder.”

As I listened to him speak, I was reminded of the large firearm that was sitting in the storage room for commissioned items.

Although he didn’t know who was included in the ‘da’ that Chacha was talking about, Haon’s back was covered in sweat.

Joo-yeol, who had been hiding behind Cha-cha, suddenly appeared from the shadows and quietly drew his gun.

He seemed ready to shoot the bank robber who was about to get his hands on a powerful firearm.

“That, that might take a week!”

Haon didn’t know what to do, so he shouted urgently.

Joo-yeol paused and then raised his eyebrows as if to see what was going on.

“You did it right away last time.”

As Chacha narrowed her eyes, Haon waved his hands frantically.

“We’re out of ingredients. We’re all out.”

“No way! We need to prepare from now on.”

Juyeol put his gun back and disappeared into the shadows as he saw Chacha nervously biting her fingertips.

Haon’s heart pounded. He almost saw someone die right before his eyes.

‘I need to quickly spread the word that I’m no longer taking requests.’

There was no idea to make my hand more powerful to the weapons created by Galaxy.

How could anyone do such a horrible and unethical thing as making and selling criminal tools to criminals?

“I can’t help it. Then I’ll just take it. Give it to me right now.”

“No, that.”

Ha-on looked back and forth between Joo-yeol’s hidden shadow and Cha-cha, then followed her urgently.

“What are you going to use it for in such a hurry?”

“Hanla suddenly told me to vacate the house by two nights later. She said she was going to sell the entire building.”

Chacha’s expression suddenly became fierce.

“How can you stand it when I tell you to break everything if you don’t empty it? That damn punk’s contract hasn’t even ended yet.”

Ha-on, who was relieved that they weren’t robbing a bank, was confused as to whether this was really something to be relieved about.

Still, I decided to think that it was fortunate that it was being used to deal with villains.

Hanra was the boss of a gang that took over District 2 of the old city, and was an awakened villain.

The checker who got his nose hit by the monkey wrench was a member of the Halla gang.

Haon opened the door to the lab while chewing over the information on the villain list.

“The weapon may be big and strong, but it may not be enough to fight a gang.”

“What, you think I’m the only one who’s going to do it? Everyone in that building is up in arms. Solmae too.”

Haon was startled by Chacha’s words.

“Oh, does old Solmae live there?”

There were more than one or two things I wanted to ask Solmae.

But what if you lose your life while fighting the Halla Gang… … .

Chacha snorted as if he had read Haon’s anxious thoughts.

“Have you forgotten to tell us to be careful of the old people, children, and women who live happily in the old town?”

It’s the first time I’ve heard that, but when I think about it, it’s not wrong.

“That gentleman is not easy either. That’s why he is holding out as an unlicensed doctor in the old town.”

According to what I’ve researched about Kwon Young-shi, there’s no place more dangerous than the old city.

If there was someone who treated dangerous people in such a place, it would be unusual.

It wasn’t completely reassuring, but I decided to trust him since he would know more about this dimension later.

‘… … Are you sure it’s okay?’

Haon then brought Chacha’s request to the freight elevator while contemplating when he should go meet Solmae.

When the cloth was removed, a machine gun the size of Haon’s torso was revealed.
