This Villain is Soft - Chapter 32
Only Noblemtl
Episode 32
Haon didn’t feel any sense of betrayal or disappointment in this situation.
There were quite a few people who took her for granted and offered her outrageous deals because of the rumor that she was a mad scientist.
Everyone who went today was like that.
“Mr. Yang. Are you a conman?”
“A fraud. He just has a different perspective on things!”
It was so shameless.
It is true that Dr. Eun has become more docile than before, so he has not been careful with his words and actions.
As Haon sighed and picked up his phone, Mana Tan hit President Yang.
Blue sent the unconscious guest out of the lab as planned.
I never got scammed when buying materials while Blue was around, but it kept happening and I was getting fed up.
‘I should go check on the energy extraction of the Awakening District.’
However, Haon, who was fiddling with the extraction settings, dozed off again.
It was a secret to Barney that the Awakening Orb had almost exploded, blowing up the entire building.
* * *
There was no hesitation in Haon’s steps as he walked through the old town.
I had become accustomed to visiting Solmae’s clinic, but when I came in broad daylight, this place was no different from any other place where people lived.
“Mr. Kim! Come over after you finish today!”
“Good! I’m going to eat chicken for the first time in a while!”
Although it was a little shabby, the streets were filled with neat shops.
“Mom, my shoes are too small.”
“Again? I bought it big on purpose. It’s growing really fast these days.”
Families who came out for lunch also walked leisurely along the street.
What had seemed like a deserted, lawless zone at night now felt like an ordinary neighborhood.
Haon turned around the corner as he saw a cat getting water in front of a pizza place.
‘But you shouldn’t bring the car in.’
The cars in ‘Eunhaon’ are all expensive and flashy supercars, so they often attract unnecessary attention.
You could guess what the supercars were like by looking at the cars parked on the side of the road that were almost all broken down.
‘I’ll probably get my parts ripped off and towed away.’
Even though it looked normal in broad daylight, I couldn’t feel completely at ease.
When Ha-on knocked on the door of the clinic as usual, Sol-mae opened the door with a reluctant expression.
“Hello, sir.”
“Since you came today too, I guess it was a dud this time too.”
Solmae sat in the examination room, shaking her head.
“Yes. Is there anything else?”
When Ha-on asked while sitting across from her with an embarrassed smile, Sol-mae let out a deep sigh.
“It seems to be a psychological problem, but if that’s the case, there’s no use coming to me.”
The reason she came to Solmae was to take sleeping pills.
I took various types of sleeping pills and sleeping pills, but they didn’t really have any effect.
Rather, it became more difficult and took longer to wake up from the nightmare.
“There are things that can’t be solved with medication. You might as well get some counseling. Or find someone you can open up to.”
“that…….”
Haon hesitated for a moment and then closed his mouth.
I knew that the terrible nightmares and insomnia that plagued me were due to psychological factors.
But even if you go for counseling, what will you say?
I actually fought in a war for two years and got caught up in an explosion and ended up in another dimension, where I had the same name and face as an extremely evil scientist, so I suffered a lot.
I have this dream every day of the Gimpo Bridge collapsing and people dying, which doesn’t exist here. It’s driving me crazy.
Because it wasn’t just a dream, it was something I actually experienced in a previous dimension.
Haon, who was thinking about my story, touched his forehead.
‘You’ll think I’m crazy.’
At worst, they might see this as an opportunity to quarantine Dr. Eunhaon in a mental hospital.
“Do you by any chance seek counseling?”
“Don’t say such horrible things.”
Solmae was disgusted.
“Don’t you know how many things have stories in the old town? If I give advice here, I won’t be able to close the door.”
“ah…….”
He didn’t even blink an eye when Ha-on let out a sigh of regret. Instead, he offered an alternative.
“Think about the last time you had the best sleep.”
“And?”
“Just make your sleeping environment as similar as possible to that time. Once you figure out what you need for a good night’s sleep, you’ll be much more comfortable from then on.”
“Oh.”
Haon, who was about to agree with his words, was embarrassed.
I actually already knew what I needed for a good night’s sleep.
‘I’m looking for sleeping pills because that’s not an option. What should I do?’
* * *
‘What should I really do?’
Haon’s agony continued even after he went to find the awakening sphere.
‘If I keep going like this, I might end up falling asleep and blowing away all the awakening orbs I’ve worked so hard to collect. Along with my life… . . ‘
I had to find some way.
I know that I can sleep soundly and without nightmares only if I have someone by my side.
I slept very well during the two days I spent with Juyeol, so that was certain.
‘… … I wonder how Juyeol is doing.’
I’ve thought about going to him dozens of times to ask him to let me get some sleep.
But Juyeol doesn’t answer the phone or come to get his helmet. He may be sick of everything related to villains or heroes.
Even though Bunny is dead, he says he doesn’t want to be in the lab, and Chacha… … I still can’t believe it.
I can’t believe it, who on earth are you letting into your bedroom?
“Ughhhh.”
Haon, who felt embarrassed as his sigh turned into a yawn, covered his mouth and hurried into the park.
It was the place where the Awakening Orb was discovered in the previous dimension.
“Blue. Begin exploring the Awakening Orb.”
[Start exploring the Awakening Zone.]
Blue flapped her wings, spreading out her blue mana widely.
[Traces of mana are detected, but there are no awakening orbs within the search range.]
“Huh? Is it on the edge?”
I circled the park grounds with Blue, but the sphere was never found.
It was impossible to accidentally miss it because I was sleepy. It was Blue, not Haon, who was exploring the Awakening Orb.
But Haon didn’t look surprised.
‘It’s not here either. Someone already took it.’
This wasn’t the first or second time something like this had happened.
Traces of mana remain strongly, suggesting that the Awakening Orb was buried there until recently.
‘Has the hero headquarters started actively looking for the Awakening Sphere?’
Haon, who was thinking about going to one more place, decided to give up because he felt dizzy.
Since I couldn’t sleep, I had to get some rest before I could come out to find the awakening sphere again.
The moment I was about to leave my regrets behind and return to the lab, Blue warned me.
[Haon. Nova is approaching from behind.]
“… … !”
I quickly turned around and saw a model-like man with mysterious white hair and golden eyes approaching me.
It was a leisurely appearance that seemed to have no intention of hiding his presence.
“The bird you raise is a rascal. It won’t let you have any surprises.”
Nova, whose appearance itself was a surprise, smiled beautifully and said.
I expected him to give up since I hadn’t seen him for a while, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“Nova. Long time no see.”
“I was a little busy.”
The last time we met, he said something had come up and left. Is he busy with that?
Since the villains were so busy, I thought the heroes would be busy too.
“How do you know where I am?”
“Well. By the way, what about my present?”
“hmm…….”
He didn’t answer questions and just said what he wanted to say.
As Haon closed his mouth and observed her expression, Nova slightly bent down to match his eye level.
“If you don’t want to die, try loving. Is that so hard?”
“It must be hard. How can you like someone who threatens to kill you?”
“I won’t kill you. Then will you love me?”
“that…….”
“… … I thought something interesting had appeared, but it doesn’t love me and doesn’t cry. Should I kill it?”
Nova straightened her back and looked at Haon earnestly, sweeping her white hair back.
Haon swallowed dry saliva at the worried look in his eyes and held his cell phone tightly.
‘The compatibility with Nova is the worst. You can’t block it with your bare hands with a mana shield.’
Besides, unlike the ‘Galaxy On’ here, I know that he can use magic engineering. I don’t think he’ll be easily defeated.
Then suddenly a light came on in my head.
A person who knows that he is different from ‘Eunhaon’.
Someone who won’t think I’m crazy if I pour my heart out to them.
“Nova. How about something other than a weapon as a gift?”
“Anything else?”
Nova showed interest in Haon’s attitude as he suddenly asked with shining eyes.
Nova was even more unreliable than Chacha.
But since he truly wanted to have something made for him, I didn’t think he would do anything I would dislike.
I guess it would be better if you killed me.
“I will lift the ban on entering the lab.”
“Hmm.”
It seemed like a gift that was not enough to arouse interest.
Haon looked at his long fingers stroking his chin, and suddenly a good idea occurred to him.
“And I’ll make you something other than a weapon.”
“With all your heart?”
“Yes. I’m completely serious. But it’s not love.”
“… … Well, I’ll be satisfied with that for now.”
“Then do you want to go with me now? I’ll stay for a while and then go. I’ll sleep at the lab today.”
As Haon spoke with a face full of anticipation, Nova smiled leisurely.
“We also have our fair share of cheeky sides.”
“Go quickly. Go quickly.”
Haon was so excited that he didn’t even hear what Nova was saying.
