This Villain is Soft - Chapter 19
Only Noblemtl
Episode 19
Long, side-braided white hair.
Eyes that shine golden like mana.
A gorgeous and beautiful appearance.
Broad shoulders and a slender build.
She was a stunning beauty, but her face was one I looked at very closely on the list of villains.
“Nova.”
He was an Awakened villain with a strong body and incredible strength.
“What are those clothes?”
He asked with an elegant smile, then pulled Ha-on’s waist in his arms and bowed his head.
“Have your tastes changed in the meantime?”
Haon was startled by the lips getting closer and covered his mouth with his hand.
“Why, why are you doing this!”
I was so embarrassed that I didn’t know what to do. But Nova also looked surprised.
Haon quickly got away from him and grabbed his cell phone.
His criminal record, which made him a person of interest, flashed through my mind.
“Possession and sale of unregistered explosives, theft of artifacts from overseas, taking over broadcasting stations and attempting to brainwash the entire nation through radio, bombing casinos, murder and attempted murder using poison… .”
Despite his beautiful face, he was a very dangerous person.
Seeing him suddenly hugging and kissing me, it seems like this person is indeed Eunhaon’s lover.
Haon bit his lip with an embarrassed expression.
”Eunhaon’ probably doesn’t know that he’s dead. What should I do?”
Then Nova tilted her head and raised the corners of her lips.
“That’s strange. Who are you?”
“……yes?”
“You’re someone else, aren’t you?”
Haon opened his eyes wide. It was something unexpected.
“Oh, how did you know?”
“Even if the doctor loses his memory, he will still love me.”
He added as if it were a given.
“The doctor is crazy about me.”
“… … ?”
“If you asked for my heart, would you have cut it out yourself and given it to me? The soul was also immortal, it was love. No, was it obsession?”
Haon hesitated and stepped back, feeling creepy.
Nova’s eyes took on a strange light as she spoke about ‘Galaxy On’.
“Well, that’s not important. So what are you?”
“I think it’s Eunhaon… … .”
Ha-on, who had been hesitating to answer, closed his mouth. No matter how much he viewed ‘Eunha-on’ and me as different people, he couldn’t just tell everything to such a dangerous person.
You probably won’t believe me when I say something about a multiverse.
“As long as you are Eunhaon, anything is fine.”
At that moment, an unexpected answer came back.
Haon couldn’t hide his agitation and looked at him with pity.
Did I love ‘Eunhaon’ that much?
‘People who lost their lovers or family members during the war also said things like that.’
Perhaps he has some idea of the death of ‘Eunhaon’?
Haon, who had been worrying, gathered his courage and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Hey, Mr. Nova.”
“Just call me Nova.”
“Hmm. Nova.”
It was a difficult thing to say, but he had to know for sure about his beloved lover.
“Actually, ‘Nova’s Galaxy On’ is dead. He was already dead when I got here.”
“Hmm. So that’s what causes death.”
Haon asked cautiously, wondering if it was because he didn’t feel it was real due to Nova’s indifferent answer.
“Nova. Do you want to take something that ‘Galaxy On’ used?”
“You’re not twins, since your names are the same. Are you an engineer too? You were wearing that coat and working on the computer.”
“That’s true, but… … .”
Haon became increasingly confused by the unknown reaction. He didn’t look sad at all. Rather… … .
‘Why do you look happy?’
“Then, can you make something like this?”
Nova unfolded the blueprints he had taken out of his back pocket.
“Ah. I don’t take requests.”
Haon waved his hand before even checking the blueprint.
“Don’t ask for it, give it as a gift. That’s always been the case.”
“Huh? That, that’s a bit.”
He sat down at the table and smiled softly.
“Why? Just do it because you love me.”
“… … ?”
“Just do it with a heart that loves me madly.”
Haon’s head was spinning.
My lover died, but instead of mourning, what the hell is this? Are you listening to me correctly?
“Oh, you don’t love me?”
“Am I not pretty?”
“you are pretty.”
“But you don’t love me?”
“yes.”
“okay?”
“……yes.”
I held my phone tightly, feeling anxious about being asked so persistently.
He had a kind attitude, but he was still a villain, so I was afraid that he would suddenly change if I kept rejecting him.
“I can’t help it.”
But Nova just shrugged and left the lab without saying goodbye.
‘Like this, obediently?’
Ha-on, who was blankly staring at the door he had exited through, muttered to himself.
‘… … This dimension’s ‘Galaxy On-ssi’. Was he perhaps Nova’s fool?’

That evening.
Haon, who entered the old town, shivered from the eerie and sinister atmosphere.
‘scary……!’
They said that because it is an area where many villains live, gruesome things happen whenever they get the chance.
In one alley, someone was searching through the clothes of someone who was either asleep or passed out.
There were a few people standing around smoking, but no one paid any attention to the sight.
He just stared at Ha-on as he passed by the alley.
‘Eek.’
Ha-on pulled his hat down tightly and quickly moved his feet. This is probably what they mean by a hotbed of crime.
‘I heard there are a lot of ordinary people living here. How can you sleep when you’re so anxious? Are those people ordinary people?’
I passed by this area the day I went to find Juyeol and Gaksunggu. It looked dangerous even when I was passing by on my bike, but it was even scarier when I actually stepped foot in there.
Bullet marks, knife marks, and bloodstains were visible everywhere, and there was also some kind of soggy trash rolling around.
As I turned the corner, rolling my eyes here and there, Blue on my shoulder chirped.
[A large number of people are detected across the street on the left!]
‘It’s here!’
Haon entered the alley and stuck his head out.
Across the street, people were already in a tense standoff. The tension was so high that it seemed like a fight might break out at any moment.
‘There’s a car there too.’
The red-haired woman was carrying a large machine gun, and it was such a threatening visual that even the gang couldn’t attack her rashly.
Then Blue’s warning was heard.
[Three men with guns are approaching from behind!]
“… … !”
As the shocked Ha-on hid behind the crumpled car, three men walked out from the street corner where they had been standing until just now.
“It’s no fun to be left out when you’re fighting. Are you sure about this place?”
“The boss told me to look over here. He said he saw Solmae walking around here.”
Haon’s eyes, which had been hidden by their words, widened.
“As the boss said, we have to get rid of that old man first.”
“Yeah. Even if they make holes in their stomachs, the old man sews them up, so they keep nagging.”
I didn’t mishear. It was clear that he was talking about Solmae.
“Let’s handle this quickly and join us.”
“Stop rushing me and come on, okay? I found it.”
As the man lowered his voice and adjusted his grip on the pistol, the other two looked around.
‘You’re taking care of Elder Solmae?’
Haon peeked his head out. The man’s gun was already pointed somewhere, and the back of his head with white hair was visible in an alley a little distance away.
‘Elder… …!’
As he hurriedly swung his phone, a blue mana hook grabbed the man’s ankle and scattered.
“Uh, ugh!”
The white back of her head flinched in surprise at the sound of the man falling down loudly.
“What are you doing all of a sudden?”
“Did you just fall down alone?”
They laughed as they tried to get the man up and run after Solmae.
‘Absolutely not.’
Haon aimed the top of the phone like a gun and fired the mana heated up by the high temperature at the man’s gun.
The round, blue mana-absorbed gun quickly overheated and began to melt.
“Ouch, it’s hot!”
“What the hell is wrong?”
The man nervously threw the gun’s remains at the ready.
“What the heck! What was that blue thing just now?”
It was inevitable that I would see the mana that had turned blue, but it was okay because I wouldn’t be able to stop it even if I saw it.
Haon squatted down again and looked in the direction Solmae had run away.
‘It was a method used to make a campfire, but I didn’t know it could be used like this.’
Taang! Clang! Clang─.
At that moment, a bullet passed by his ear and shattered the side mirror. Another man had shot Ha-on as soon as he saw him.
“eww……!”
The moment Ha-on, barely able to swallow his screams, tried to crawl under the truck.
Bang! Taang!
Phew!
From the direction where the people were confronting each other, a loud gunshot and explosions began to ring out. The man’s gunshot seemed to be the fuse.
Fireworks flashed and scattered across the dark sky, showing what and how much was being exploded.
A shadow fell over Ha-on’s head, frozen with a bewildered expression.
Haon, who thought that the culprit who killed ‘Eunhaon’ might be a resident of the old city, quickly pulled his hat down lower.
“Are you the one who did something weird to my gun?”
“You’re using a strange weapon? Did Dr. Eun make it?”
“What are you asking? Just kill them and take them.”
As a man aimed a gun at her small head, Ha-on turned pale and lifted her cell phone.
“B, Blue! Shield!”
The man pulled the trigger without waiting for Ha-on, who was extremely sloppy. Ta-ang, a gunshot rang out, but Ha-on was unharmed.
They opened their eyes in surprise. The bullet had stopped right in front of Haon’s nose. No, rather than stopping, it seemed to have been lodged in a transparent blue curtain and then fell off.
