Ep.190 – Growing Doubt
There’s a hidden S-class hero in America.
His ability is to turn back time.
Immediately after I said that, the atmosphere of the round table froze slightly.
“…..”
Everyone’s expressions looking at me are like, “Who is he talking nonsense like that?”.
Well, most villains here probably didn’t know that there was such a hero, and that there was such an ability.
Suddenly, I’m an A-class villain, so it’s even more absurd.
Like that, a round table frozen for a moment when I was finished. What are you talking about to me directly?No one said that, but almost the same atmosphere.
And some, too, glanced at Celeste. “Isn’t he such a child who unravels such strange false information?”
And Celeste.
“….”
Without a word, he was silent with his eyes closed as usual.
Of course, because the information she already knew.
S-class Hero X Makina.
The only man in the world who has the ability to turn back time.
Although the U.S. is already full of strong talents, his ability is unique as it is a tremendous ability just to hear it. Of course, his existence is very much wrapped up in the association so that it is not known to the outside world.
Mainly in an underground bunker within the American Association, he even has a hotline to connect with the president of the American Association, the U.S. government, and the president of the International Association on the spot.
And actually… Just now, he said with great energy, “He turns back time!” but of course the ability is a huge penalty.
It takes only a few minutes to turn it around, not a few hours, and even once he uses it, the penalty is enormous, making it difficult to use it again.
However, despite all these defects, his ability was simply unrivaled in the world. Anything else, but only to prevent destruction.
His name within the association is also known as the “Last Fortress of Humanity.” The only thing that can stop the world from falling is him.
According to the original story, he has prevented nuclear war several times, and has prevented terrorism that destroys a country dozens of times.
In short, his significance in the original work is to prevent the worst from happening rather than to make the world better.
No matter how crazy and powerful people are,
At least the world won’t be destroyed.
And he.
I’ll die in a few months.
…Of course, if you say that, you might be misunderstood as a real fortune-teller, so you should explain his ability in moderation.
I went on calmly explaining on the round table, which had become so confused, still smiling slightly to myself.
“Yes. They say we can turn back time. However, the time to spin is very limited, so the association is managing it to prevent the destruction of mankind.”
“…..”
The round table still frozen.
Of course, they still don’t seem to believe it, but how many of you? He seemed slightly skeptical. Even so, I’m sure they’re just lying at a place like this.
But there’s no one else? By now, it’s time for one person to say, “Dog noise!” Yeah, like the red Mohawk haired one last time.
For your information, he’s shining his eyes next to me and says, “As expected, hyung…” He was looking at me with this expression, ‘You even know this confidential…!’ No, how the hell did you end up like this.
…Well, of course it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it.
Even if you don’t believe it now, his existence will be revealed to the world in a few months, right before the third meeting of Cathedral through the death of X Makina.
By the time I’m done thinking that.
“…I think I’ve heard such a similar rumor.”
“?!”
Everyone’s attention was focused on the voice of the voice coming from one side of the round table.
Celeste, who kept listening, opened his mouth for the first time.
“…Huh.”
The Celeste agreed with that.
In other words, what you just said is likely to be true.
On the round table where there was such a hum, I nodded quietly, without expression.
Actually, I was a little embarrassed, too.
…No, why do you open your mouth here?
Hiding such thoughts, I turned my head slightly and looked toward Celeste.
She still sits quietly with her eyes closed as if she had opened her mouth, slightly covering her face with a white saint’s uniform and cotton cloth.
“….”
…I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking.
Of course it’s a good thing for me. I’ve got credibility in my words in no time.
I keep throwing bomb information, making others think I’m a dangerous guy
It’s not as bad as it was intended, but… Anyway, it didn’t really matter that X-Makina would be known to everyone in a few months.
‘You’re going to get Celeste’s attention, I thought about it.’
I didn’t expect this to happen. But what, she’s such a clueless woman.
Like that, Celeste and I shut up again, and the round table was also cluttered.
It’s time for Atlas to release the information.
“Huh, what’s wrong with this atmosphere? Now, let me unpack the information. Listen carefully.”
As Atlas naturally turned his attention to himself, the venue for information sharing continued again.
only.
“…..”
The mysterious gaze that I feel sitting still.
How on earth does a Class A know such information?There were some wary glances, mixed with doubts.
Then, I sometimes whisper, and they look at Atlas. In addition to the information, there’s how I’m not close to anyone.
You might wonder how close he looks to Atlas, the big shot.
Yeah. Keep your guard up and doubt it.
So that you guys think I’m higher than I really am, dangerous. Until the day you decide you shouldn’t touch me.
I thought about that and passed the glances that I felt.
Time flies like that.
The long meeting was finally over.
After Celeste’s words that we will meet again in a few months, they get up one by one.
“Haha! Egostic, how did you know such information? It’s a surprise that there’s a man who can turn back time. Of course he couldn’t stop this Atlas either, hahaha!”
The one who smiles saying what he’s into all of a sudden.
Meanwhile, our red hair is like, ‘Brother! I’m going to go now!’ And he said, “Please call me whenever you need me.”
I left my contact information…Will there ever be a day for me?
When I woke up with Atlas and headed back to the hallway.
“Wait a minute, Atlas. I have someone to meet for a while, so I’ll go see you.”
“Hmm? Yeah.”
After asking Atlas for his understanding like that, I turned to the woman whom I had quietly looked at from earlier.
Her black hair tied back, her grey samurai outfit, and her tired-looking eyes, perhaps to make the activity easier.
Katana, head of Japan’s largest villain organization.
As I approached her like that, she noticed me coming and paused for a moment and looked at me wonderingly.
And in that state.
I laughed, and spoke to Katana.
“Good morning, Mr. Katana.”
“….What’s going on?”
Her asking me with a tired face.
“My name is Egostic, and I am active in Korea. Since we’re working in the neighborhood right next to each other, we came here to say hello.”
“…I see. Good to see you. But I’m busy right now.”
It was her trying to answer so roughly. Yeah, you must be busy. Now his coalition will continue to lose to the government and association.
To her who has so many worries.
I smiled slightly, and spoke to her.
“Oh, and in the sense of being friendly in the future, I have a separate information for Mr. Katana.”
“…Information?”
At the word of information, she’s slightly interested.
To her who looks at me with a slight interest in the words even though she looks tired.
“Yes. I’ll tell you one thing in particular.”
Having said so, I bow my head slightly, quietly to her ear. said in a whisper.
“Natsuha Hishimoto.”
“She is, a traitor.”
“….!”
As I said so, she pulled her head out and stepped back slightly.
Feeling embarrassment, and a glare of anger at first glance, I said with a shrug.
“Well, I told you to be close. I hope my information is helpful.”
“Then, bye.”
After that, I turned around and went back to Atlas.
…Well, I told you.
Now don’t believe it, how to act, it’s her choice.
“Have you finished your work?””
“Yes. Let’s go.”
Having done my job, I went back with Atlas.
You can feel it in the back, Katana. Feeling her gaze.
***
“What is it… What is it?”
Katana, Japan’s S-class villain.
She was looking at the back of a man who had just passed by, saying nonsense to herself.
Natsuha Hishimoto. She’s a traitor.
“That’s nonsense… No, in the first place, how did you know Natsuha?’
Katana.
She had stepped up to rectify the rotting Japan. Even if she was called a villain or considered a merit, she endured it. I thought it wouldn’t matter if I could change this country.
Luckily, she was surrounded by friends who had the same meaning.
With them, the Three Gorges. It was already several years ago that Japan’s largest villain organization was established.
But now, for some reason, it has been losing ground to government forces and associations. As if they knew how to move, they moved like crazy.
At a time when she was worried after such a losing battle. That man suddenly came up and said. Natsuha Hishimoto. She’s a traitor.
‘…Natsuhua, no one will know because his identity is not exposed…’
A naturally good man.
Katana, a friend who has been with her since the beginning, and her own staunch staff.
I don’t know how that man knows her, but Natsuha can never be. I’m sure.
‘…I’m sure it’s impossible…’
But the moment I heard it.
Already, she couldn’t go back until she heard it.
Doubt- the scary thing, sprouted into the corner of her heart.
“…..”
On top of that, his unconventional remarks that he showed at the meeting earlier.
Even though it had nothing to do with her, his words that no one seemed to know that America was hiding a man capable of manipulating time, and even Celeste’s agreement.
What if, really, that Egostic knew what he was talking about?’
Katana thought of it, and unknowingly, she kept mulling over Egostic’s words.
And the sight of Egostic and Katana in a row.
“….”
Celeste, who remained on one side of the round table, was quietly watching it all.
