Chapter 293:
A dark cloudy sky with heavy rain.
A great spherical space, made of blue water, floating in the air.
I stepped into it, along with Stardus, who had come to help me
Well, Ariel, I think youve got a big misunderstanding.
I was sweating profusely, trying to explain to Ariel, who was sobbing in front of me.
Ariels shocking statement came out of nowhere. When she asked me if I was dating Stardus, I was dumbfounded. What could she possibly see that would make her think that? Is it because my infatuation has spread abroad?
Big brother, Im not stupid.
Ariel says that while suddenly wiping her tears with her clothes.
Why was she crying? I couldnt understand but Before I could say anything else, Ariel continued.
First of all, youre obviously dating from the way youre acting on TV, and how can anyone not notice that?
Ariels eyes narrowed, her fists clenched tightly in each hand as she shouted.
Naturally, it sounded very ridiculous to me. Of course, well. It might look like that in a place where there are no cameras I mean, I might have done something that could be mistaken for something else, like holding hands, or just blurting out weird things when Im alone with my emotions Things like that Of course not, but things that could be misinterpreted by a third party who doesnt know me well.
However, I, Villain Egostic, can swear Ive never done any of those things on camera. In the first place, we have a businesslike hero-villain relationship. We never mix emotions.Maybe.
In any case, I glanced at Stardus in disbelief, because now was the perfect time for her to be just as annoyed as I was. Imagine being told by a hero, Youre actually dating a villain, arent you? That would piss me off.
I looked back at her, expecting Stardus to speak for me, and
.ha? I dont know what youre talking about
She actually did say that.
Not because she was angry, but because she was still a little flushed from ear to ear, scratching her cheeks and avoiding eye contact.
And what, what, what, when did I
Looking at Stardus muttering seriously to herself with reddened cheeks, I decided to just take care of it myself. She looks a little flustered. Yeah, well, its not often that she gets to hear this stuff in person.Maybe?
Yeah. Im about to embarrass myself, so lets stop thinking about this.
I I dont care who youre with, Im just happy to be with you, and thats all that matters, is that so hard?
And while were at it, my Ariel is still spouting off words that will make me kick my futon even in a months time when I think about them at night.
I was a little disoriented by the whole love and war thing, but I had to say something.
So I did.
I sighed and replied to Ariel in a low voice.
Ariel. I dont know what youre thinking, but its not true.
Not what?
I mean really not. Has your brother ever lied to you?
As I said that, as if to calm her down, Ariel gradually calmed down.
Really?
To Ariel who asked that with slightly reddened eyes, I beat my chest in frustration.
Huh. Why on earth did you think that? The last time you asked me, I said there was no such thing.
You did.
Ariel calmed down, wiped her eyes, and stopped crying.
and only then did she realize what shed done, her cheeks flushed. Yeah, Im glad youre embarrassed. Good thing you know how to be embarrassed
So, Ariel. Why did you cause this?
After Ariel had calmed down a bit, I looked at her and said, Look at the storm, look at the tidal wave, look at the mess. Of course, there was the unexpected income of growing Icicle
Anyway, I had a rough idea, but its better to hear it from the horses mouth.
In response to my question, Ariel answered quietly.
You told me I was too weak to enter Egostream, so I wanted to
You wanted to show me what you could do?
Yes.
As expected.
I sighed deeply at the answer, which was no different from what I expected.
No, then Ill tell her, shes that strong.
Of course, even if I did, I dont think Id accept it because of Atlas Wait. Aside from that, Ariel created this huge storm all by herself?
I pointed that out and asked.
Oh, I did have some help from my dads fishermen, ahaha
I could hear Ariels words as she smiled and admitted the truth.
Haha.
Okay, Ariel. Well talk about it later when we get back to my place. Okay?
Yeah
And with that, I left Ariel.
In effect, the incident in Busan was over.
The only thing left was.
Home?
Stardus, who was blushing earlier, is looking at me with a cold gaze again.
[Da-in, what the hell are you doing in there, theres a whole bunch of people outside right now who can see everything youre doing.]
the publics reaction to witnessing the sudden hijinks.
So, to be fair, they were both problems.
***
After a massive terrorist attack in which a tsunami crashed into Busan the public went into a frenzy at the unusual southern terrorism.
*
[Oh shit, its Busan, but suddenly Im making a disaster movie]
(photo of a huge tsunami)
No. Whats wrong with me?
=[Comment]=
[Im watching the news right now and this is the first time Ive seen Busan being terrorized]
[Now can you understand the pain of Seoul people?]
[Busan people who lived without any terrorism are suddenly distracted by the spicy terrorism they are experiencing for the first time]
[Weve all been through the monsters jumping from the Moonlight Bridge]
[Now theyre all running towards the interior]
[Busan doesnt even have a Stardus? Big deal]
[Stardus will be called, like shes on her way]
[Icicle shows me once???]
[Honestly, waiting for Stardus would be quicker]]
[But now its said that its Latis who did the terrorism, but isnt there a collaboration between them and Egostic? Until now, even during the simultaneous invasion of the whole world, they terrorized except for Korea, but suddenly?]
N[Thats a little weird]
N[Didnt you fight with them?]
N[The scale of their terrorism is smaller than their average, but I dont know what it is.]
N[According to the latest news, it was a woman who caused the terror?]
[Gasp]
[Ah haha]
[Oh, if I sleep like this, isnt there a good chance that Egostic will come to Busan?]
[Huh?]
[I live in Busan and was running away, but when I saw this, I turned the car around and headed back to the beach. Haha. I bet on my life that Egostic will appear. Haha]
[You crazy guy haha]

[(Breaking News) Real appearance of Egostic Busan.]
(Photo)
Just got caught on a broadcasters camera.
AhhIs it you again MANGO-AT
=[Comment]=
[wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]
[Shit I did something last time and it was MANGO-AT]
[Thank you MANGO thank you GOAT]
[Hes faster than Stardus now haha]
[Honestly, if Egostic is more reliable than Icicle, then Ill just go for it.]
[He shakes his head lol]
[Icicle is an A-level hero and Mango is an S-level hero, but it cant be helped]
[But why is it not broadcasting? But why is it not broadcasting? But why is it not broadcasting?]
[Huh?]
[Is it true?]
*
After that, people calmed down as quickly as if they hadnt seen it before.
While the media calms down to the point where they send out a broadcast saying that now that Egostic is here, you can rest easy.
Meanwhile, people started saying strange things again.
*
[Latest] Icicle X Mangostick What the hell is that?]
(A picture of Icicle smiling and chatting with Egostic)
Hmph What are you two doing?
Icicle Mangostick resurrection?
=[Comment]]
[Ohhhhhh]
[Ice-mango rice cake resurrected after 100,000 years]
[Hey, what are you doing? This is adultery!]
[Adultery pure love!]
[You crazy guy haha]
[Ice Mango supporters also admitted that it was an affair haha]
[Mango cheating on Stardus~]
[Stardus will arrive soon.]
[(Fact) Ego Star is just a fuss from fans, the two actually have nothing to do with each other haha]
[?]
[Haa?]
[What are you saying now?]
[???]
[You guy what are you talking about?]
[Look at the comments from the Ego Stars running wild haha]
[In the meantime, even when the hero and villain talk naturally, people dont react at all haha]
[Its just everyday life now haha]
*
In addition to the community, the stranded people also gathered in the stations chat room, where cameras were broadcasting the situation from afar.
Still, it was calm there, too
*
[Stardus even mouthing off]]
*
After Stardus arrival, it exploded.
Even though it was too far away and the angle was obscured by the ice crystals that froze the sea, it was hard to see but still, people were eagerly writing down their speculations.
Especially after Stardus flew off somewhere with Egostic.
People were dying to know what the hell was going on in there, seeing Stardus and Egostic go into that strange sphere of water and not come out.
Inside that sphere of water, I was now planning my next move.
To be precise, I was planning to take Ariel and run away from Stardus.
