Ep.144 Four-Dimensional
A fast-changing situation, a surging storm.
Currently, the world except for South Korea can be summarized as such.
Of course, Korea is still safer than overseas, but that’s because I’m preventing things from happening. It’ll be a mess again in no time if I do something. Still, Stardus is stronger than herself in the original, so it may not be that much. But still.
Anyway, the conclusion is that force is important in the future.
Of course, our Egostream is still strong. We’re strong but… In other words, only Electra, Moonlight Shaman, and Death Knight are actually armed. Even Desik is not a person, so only two exist.
That’s why I need someone stronger.
In other words, we need to keep recruiting new villains.
There will be more and more people with superpowers, especially as it’s been proved that the world is becoming a mess over time. They are thinking of collecting and managing me as a different identity. But this isn’t important.
Now, it’s time to bring in a new villain.
Out of so many villains, I finally picked two.
A man with brown hair and a woman with purple hair.
And when Ha-yul asked her brother who he liked more, he said he liked the woman besides, so we decided to finally recruit her.
“Black Spirit…”
A villain who was called a neat name, ‘Black Spirit’, in the comic.
One of the villains who was quite famous for her purple hair, purple eyes, and her usual black hoodie.
It was one of the quite popular villains with “these days_villain_beauty.jpg” gifs because she always went around without the derecognition device. She was popular with readers for her unique half-closed eyes and dreamy atmosphere. The original comic was angsty, so the atmosphere was good once she appeared in the fourth dimension. Like me, she made terrorist attacks with no casualties.
In the original work, a purple goblin fire appears hanging in the air at night. Seeing her doing terrorist attacks at night, she’s the third after HanEun group and Wolgwanggyo to defeat Shadow Walker’s ability. Since then, the reputation of ‘Night is dominated by Shadow Walker’ has been broken.
Anyway, she’s our top choice to recruit because her ability is entirely fraudulent. Her main ability is the goblin fire, as a woman with endless skills in using her ability, like the myth that the less explanation, the stronger she is. She could summon purple lights, which is quite a scam.
“…So, one of the problems is how to recruit her.”
Yeah, that’s the biggest problem.
How can we persuade her to join as a member?
‘Da-in, are you hitting on another girl?’
…Hearing the ‘persuade’ expression, I was momentarily startled when I remembered what Seo-eun said to me this morning, but I regained my senses.
That’s not the point. First of all, I have carefully reviewed how we have recruited our Ego Stream members so far.
Seo-eun was successfully recruited with my proposal to smash HanEun group. By the way, she took the longest. I almost tried a million ways to convince her. It wasn’t easy to change Seo-eun’s mind. Well, we’re the closest friends now.
Ha-yul. Ha-yul is… It was almost like kidnapping because it went against the original recruitment plan, but it was luck. How could I know Ha-yul’s brother would like me so much? It’s also commendable to see both of them study hard.
Choi Sehee. Sehee was just successfully recruited by electric lighting. These days, she still lives with the fun of cleaning up the trees in the back of the mountain with a lot of electricity, but how frustrating it must have been to endure it before.
I just bought Desik at the auction house and successfully recruited Eun-wol by liberating her from the curse of Wolgwanggyo.
And this woman with purple hair, Jayoung, has the ability to control fire. A person who was called ‘Black Spirit’ in the comic.
This girl’s personality is, in short, 4-dimensional.
First of all, she likes staying at home the most, so she stays at home, so she’s pretty extraordinary to cause terrorism out of boredom.
So what’s my conclusion to studying how to persuade this girl?
‘…Can’t I just tell her to join Ego Stream?’
Yeah, it was just that.
I mean, she became a terrorist because she was bored. Then, can’t I just suggest to her that we could terrorize together to relieve boredom?
She’s probably bored enough at this time.
So I’m going to go harvesting
“…Shall we go?”
With such a short thought, I teleported.
Well, I can’t fail this one.

“I’m bored.”
It’s Jayoung’s final conclusion.
She’s lying in only a black hoodie with a blanket covering the warm floor,
Since her back was warm, it was a little hot, so she turned on the air conditioner.
It’s warm on the bottom and cool on the top.
Anyway, she murmured in such a mysterious state as she looked at the ceiling with her unique blank purple eyes.
“I’m bored…”
That’s right.
She was bored. Very.
Actually, it’s fun to just lie down at home at first, but it’ll obviously get boring as the days go by.
On top of that, she didn’t even play the common Internet or games on her smartphone, so it was a pleasure just to turn on the TV and stare blankly at the ceiling.
Of course, not just looking at the ceiling.
“…Hmm.”
In the middle of the living room.
There she summoned a purple light into the air.
A flame without heat drifted through the air like a goblin fire.
She made several of them, rolled them like a circle, then soon yawned and muttered.
“Maybe I should do chores… Oh, but I did that.”
Staying at home and not having a hobby, it was cleaning that she ended up doing. Cleaning is fun.
Already, the marble floor in the house was shining as if it had been almost polished. Is it because she wiped it off too much?
Of course, she didn’t eat a lot a day because she skipped meals, but once she cooked almost to the level of art.
“I’m bored.”
And she murmured that she was bored again without realizing it.
Soon after, she took out her arm, whining from the sleeve of the hood, perhaps because she wore a size larger, and entered YouTube from the TV with a remote control.
The site she entered turned on any customized video on the main page and turned it on as white noise as if it were a radio.
What caught her attention there was a video titled ‘The Collection of Terror Highlights in the Second Half of the Ego Stream.’
“Hmm…?”
It’s a terror.
Feeling interested, she manipulated the remote control and turned on the video.
Soon there, the images of Ego Stream villains flying in the sky and confronting the hero began to be shown.
“……Looks like fun.”
She turned her head to watch the video with blank eyes and immediately gave a short review.
Terror. Terror, huh?
“Hmm…”
That’s what she thought recently.
Why don’t I just do terrorism?
She was extremely lazy to go out and move her body, so she had faith. If you move your body and go outside, you must pull out the mulberry as much as you’ve worked hard.
And if you do something like terrorism, it might be fun enough to go out and move your body.
“…But it’s annoying.”
But that’s when you go out.
She had no intention of going out because she was lazy.
She doesn’t know if she should go out if she gets too bored. First of all, home is the best. All the cooking ingredients can be delivered to the door. Why would anyone go outside?
However, the problem is that the intensity of boredom is getting stronger these days to the point where she wants to slowly go out and move her body.
“Yes, I’m going to do some terror.”
So she’s been thinking about that lately.
She doesn’t know what logic circuit goes through in her alternative brain, which convinced her to do terrorism out of boredom, but she was originally a person who lived according to her feelings.
She thought it would be easy to use these purple flames of her own.
“But I’m bored right now…”
But even if she plans to do that later.
What if she’s bored now?
She fell into her thoughts, listening absent-mindedly to the sound from the TV.
There’s nothing entertaining going on.
And something really happened to her, who spent each day thinking about that.
“Hello, I’m Egostic.”
“…I didn’t expect this.”
She looked at the man standing in front of her and muttered with blank eyes.
Black hat, black clothes, black cape, gray mask.
It’s amusing once you look at him.
She put milk in a cup and made Jeti* chocolate, then she stared blankly at the suspicious man who suddenly broke into her house… *TN: A chocolate flavor stick to make chocolate drink.
“Would you like a drink?”
She popped out a cup and suggested.
She’s just wondering if villains drink Jeti.
***
Jayoung.
I was determined before I met her, as she had already shown her 4-dimensional personality in the original comic.
And the girl I actually met.
As described in the original, purple hair, purple eyes, and half-closed eyes look blank.
After suddenly ringing her bell, I felt something peculiar and mysterious as soon as I entered.
She looked at me and held out a cup.
“Drink it.”
So I took the chocolate milk.
…I already feel giddy from the start.
But she looked at this side with half-closed eyes so much that I had no choice but to drink it. Well, it’s sweet.
“What do you think?”
“It’s sweet.”
…What the hell is this conversation?
I expected it but was slightly embarrassed by the unexpected process, so I got a grip on myself and recalled the purpose of coming here.
All right. Recruiting. Recruiting.
“Jayoung, aren’t you bored these days?”
“Huh? I do feel bored?”
“Then…”
I worked hard on the offer to recruit Ego Stream for 10 minutes like that.
Hearing my words, she thought about it briefly with a finger on her lips.
“I don’t want to.”
and answered simply.
…Hmm, so it’s not easy.
