This Villain is Soft - Chapter 63



Only Noblemtl

Episode 63

I didn’t see the opponent because I only witnessed Nova being suddenly attacked by someone and falling down.

“… … Joo-yeol-ah.”

“… … .”

Haon looked at his face closely with wide eyes.

He seemed gaunt and sensitive since the last time I saw him.

It was hard to believe that he was busy with work in the old town, but his whole body was filled with a sharp aura.

He said we shouldn’t meet for a while. How many days does he mean by “for a while”?

A few months? A few years? Or maybe it was a roundabout way of saying that I don’t want to see you again forever.

Joo-yeol, who had been locking eyes with Ha-on as if time had stopped, suddenly frowned. His jaw muscles twitched as if he was gritting his teeth.

At that moment, Ha-on, who was puzzled by the sight, tried to approach.

The mechanical hamster in Haon’s arms jumped down and rolled towards Juyeol.

[The repairs are complete! You don’t have to worry!]

Haon, who came to his senses at that sound, was the first to carefully open his mouth.

“Hey, how have you been? Ttiyong got better in no time.”

Joo-yeol hid his embarrassment and kicked the mechanical hamster with his foot.

“This guy is chasing me around without permission. Take him away right now.”

“I think Ttiyong would be helpful… … .”

“babe…….”

Nova cried, clinging to Haon’s shoulder.

Haon looked back at him in surprise.

“Does it hurt a lot? Raise your head.”

Nova raised her head with a sad and pitiful expression.

I didn’t forget to tilt my face in the direction where my chapped lips were clearly visible.

“It’s bleeding. What should I do?”

Haon grabbed his face with a pitiful expression.

“I can’t help getting hit by a hero. I guess I’m beyond redemption, just like people say… … .”

“Nova! That can’t be true.”

“but…….”

Haon was at a loss at Nova’s frail and pitiful appearance.

Joo-yeol let out a hollow laugh as if he was really annoyed.

‘That disgusting little bastard.’

Haon’s attitude of touching Nova’s face without hesitation was also absurd.

After losing her memory, she was always afraid and reluctant to go to Nova, but now she was busy comforting him by staying right next to him.

Nova’s provocation, where he acted as if something had happened between the two of them, came back to mind.

‘… … He was a guy who couldn’t live without dying until he lost his memories, so something could have happened.’

Joo-yeol, who had thought that far, felt like his breath was caught in his throat.

He adjusted his grip on the gun as was his habit, finding comfort in the cool feel of the gun.

Haon, who discovered it, was startled and hurriedly blocked Nova’s path.

“Don’t do that!”

“… … .”

Joo-yeol’s face distorted fiercely, he rubbed his temples and the back of his neck, then took a deep breath.

Ha-on started talking nonsense as he faced his cold gaze.

“No, Nova may have done a lot of wrong things, but she hasn’t done anything right now, and she’s already been hurt… … .”

“Why did you come here?”

Joo-yeol cut him off nervously.

Then, Ha-on’s face turned pale as he remembered again why he had come to District 1 of the old city.

“Ah! This isn’t the time for this. Joo-yeol. Actually, Bani─”

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening roar was heard from somewhere not far away.

As Haon flinched, letting out a short scream, Nova wrapped her arms around her shoulders.

Joo-yeol realized that his every action was a provocation to me and he found himself laughing.

“Ghost! Come quickly!”

At that moment, River called out to Juyeol urgently.

She was startled when she found Haon and Nova, but ran off somewhere as if something urgent was going on.

As Juyeol hesitated for a moment and then followed River, the mechanical hamster also followed after him.

Haon’s heart sank as he watched the heroes walk away.

It was clear that the villains gathered here to take over District 1 had begun to move.

If the villains continue to barge into Q’s residence without warning, Bunny will also be in danger.

“Nova. I need help.”

“hmm?”

Nova, who had been smiling with satisfaction, quickly changed her expression.

“Barney was kidnapped by Q.”

“Barney? He asked for money, didn’t he?”

“Yes, but I cannot grant the kidnapper’s demands.”

“You are firm.”

“If you listen to me, I’ll kidnap Bunny again when I run out of money.”

Haon’s thoughts were firm. He knew very well that once he complied with the demands of the terrorists and kidnappers, that would never be the end.

Haon said, looking worriedly at Nova’s chapped lips.

“So, if it’s okay with you, Nova, please help me save Bunny.”

Nova stared blankly at Haon, then stretched the corners of her lips. It was a beautiful smile.

“Honey, I’ll do my best to help you. There’s no price to pay.”

“… … !”

Haon opened his eyes wide in genuine surprise. He was the first to come forward and say that there was no need for a price.

This time, if you wanted something, I was willing to make it.

Nova seemed to have guessed my thoughts and smiled slightly as she held out her hand.

“I know the way to the basement of the base. Let’s go.”

* * *

The area near Q’s base was Abigyuhuan.

The villains were busy taking out their rivals first in order to kill Queue.

Whoever kills Queue becomes the new boss, unless he gives up his position as boss of Area 1.

If you give up your position as boss and leave the old city, you will be killed to avoid any trouble.

Defend Zone 1 or die in Zone 1. Q had only two choices.

“Area 1 is mine! Die!”

A villain from outside the old city rushed towards Weaver.

Tataang!

The villain, who was leisurely blocking the bullets flying in from the side with a manhole cover and grinning, soon let out a scream and fell to the ground.

I clearly stopped the bullet, but then another identical bullet came flying in from the opposite direction.

“Even if my one foot isn’t just one foot.”

Twoshot walked proudly next to Weaver.

The ability of Two-Shot was that when you fire one shot, an identical bullet is fired simultaneously from the exact opposite direction.

“You look happy.”

Weaver said as he marked the head of the fleeing villain. It was the villain’s comrade who was shot and felled by Two Shot.

“It’s been a while since I’ve had a dogfight like this, so of course it’s fun! Thanks for the compliments!”

“Yeah. I didn’t even think about doing that.”

Weaver, smiling gracefully, threw the dagger high in the air in an unexpected direction.

The dagger that had shot up into the sky fell down in a long parabolic arc, and a final scream was heard from inside the alley.

Weaver’s ability was that no matter where he threw the dagger, it would land on the head of one person who had been ‘marked’.

The villain who was pointing a shotgun at Halla from a distance flinched before pulling the trigger.

In an instant, the gun rusted and the trigger wouldn’t budge.

“Foreigners are seen everywhere, as if they heard the rumor somewhere.”

Rusty approached, adjusting his fedora.

Rusty’s ability to make metal rust just by staring at it was his.

Halla grumbled as she blasted away the hesitating villains with her bear’s paw.

“I saw it too. Those idiots who can’t even communicate set up shop here and what they’re going to do.”

The four bosses also used their abilities against alien villains who were fighting from different directions.

The villains continued to fall around them. They decided to first strike down the outside saboteurs before fighting each other.

The boss change in the old city was a big event for people. It was a chance to watch the Awakened fight in person, so you wouldn’t want to miss it.

There were many civilians watching from the rooftops of buildings here and there, and there were also many reporters wandering around with cameras.

It was the heroes who were giving them a headache.

“It’s dangerous, don’t come near and go inside the building!”

Chaser shouted, but it was no use.

“Are you telling me I should miss this scoop?”

The reporters, who thought that there was someone to protect them as the heroes appeared and blocked their way, became even more reckless.

The three heroes were dispatched to District 1 of the Old City not to stop the villains from fighting, but to save the citizens who were acting impulsively.

Phew! Boom!

There was the sound of something exploding and crashing all around.

Joo-yeol used the barrel of his gun to ward off a flying piece of concrete, then grabbed a reporter by the back of the neck.

“Come in when I say nice things to you.”

“Hey, how can this be considered a good thing─.”

The reporters tried to hold out, but were overcome by the ghost’s power and were pushed into the building.

But I couldn’t give up taking pictures, so I pressed against the window and thrust my camera in.

River, who had evacuated bystanders who were close to being caught up in the fight, covered the windows with wooden boards.

“Dangerously. Don’t you know that if you make eye contact with bad guys, you could end up being the target of their unnecessary anger?”

“If the old town bosses start fighting each other, it will be difficult to rescue people, so we have to hurry.”

Juyeol, who was looking around, clicked his tongue as he realized that he was looking for someone without realizing it.

My body is there and my senses are sharp, but my thoughts are wandering elsewhere. It must be because I faced Ha-on without any mental preparation.

Joo-yeol looked at the mechanical hamster with a feeling of unease.

‘Why on earth did you come here? Surely you’re not suddenly after the boss position, are you?’

I immediately answered to myself that it was nonsense.

‘That guy who gets scared even by the sound of an explosion, what kind of boss is that? I don’t know if he followed Nova because he was afraid of causing an accident.’

He muttered to himself, then suddenly remembered Haon protecting Nova, and shook his head to shake it off.
