I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With - Chapter 425 - END

425 – Epilogue

“…in.”

“Dain… wake up.”

“Umm…”

Upon the soft bed.

I, who was momentarily silent at the sound calling me there, woke up from my sleep, rubbing my blurry eyes, and opened them.

Then, before my eyes, she appeared, with blue eyes smiling.

Feeling her golden hair, which had slipped down, tickling my face, I mumbled to her with a voice still groggy from sleep.

“…Haru. Are you awake?”

“Yes. Get up quickly.”

Along with those words, Haru kissed me briefly with a smile.

Feeling the sensation on my lips, I chuckled lightly, and soon got up from my spot, stretching.

“uuu… okay. Let’s get up.”

Today is another day to start.

Thus, we, who slept and woke up together in one bed, washed up simply. After one more kiss, we exited the bedroom.

And as we descended the stairs heading towards the living room, what we saw was…

“Ah! Brother, you’re awake?”

“Yes, Seo Eun-ah. Did you sleep well?”

Sitting on the sofa, flipping through the remote, was Seo Eun, who greeted me with a bright voice upon seeing me.

With that, she got up from her spot, came towards the stairs, and then naturally embraced me in my arms.

“hehehe… Brother.”

“Yes. Okay, okay.”

I gently caressed Seo Eun, who rubbed her face against my chest, showing more affection than usual today, with a small smile.

…And observing such a scene, Haru just stood by my side, with a gentle smile on her face.

“hehehe. Did Haru unnie sleep well too?”

“Yes. I slept well.”

Then, afterwards, with Haru and Seo Eun chatting and heading towards the living room behind me, I briefly glanced towards the living room.

…In the adjacent kitchen, three people were gathered, wearing aprons, and doing something.

“No, Celeste-ssi. That’s not how you cut it. Look here.”

“Huuu… it’s difficult. Can’t I just use my power?”

“No. You need to know how to do it by hand for it to be sincere. Look, Halo is doing well. Try doing it like her.”

“…Compliments make me shy.”

Subin-ssi, Celeste, and even Halo.

The three women were gathered, seemingly cooking.

When I was watching them…

…Perhaps sensing my gaze, Subin-ssi, who was cutting vegetables with a knife, turned her head to look at me and greeted me with a bright smile.

“Ah, Dain-ssi! Have you woken up?”

With her gesture, the others also turned their heads and greeted me with smiles.

“Oh. Egoistic, you’re awake?”

“…Master, you’re awake.”

“hahahaha, yes. Did everyone sleep well?”

After I greeted back, upon asking what they were doing, Subin-ssi spoke with a tender smile, holding the kitchen knife.

“It’s nothing special. Celeste-ssi wanted to learn to cook. So Halo and I were teaching her.”

“hehehe. That’s right. Egoistic, look forward to it. I will prepare breakfast today.”

“…hahahaha. I’m looking forward to it. Is there anything I can help with?”

“No. There are already many people in the kitchen, so please rest over there.”

“Understood.”

Responding with a smile to her words, I headed towards the sofa where Seo Eun and Haru were sitting.

As I went there, Seo Eun, tapping next to the sofa and pointing to the TV, said,

“Brother! Look at this. There’s a story about you.”

With her words, I, who had flopped down on the sofa, leaned back and looked at the news on the TV screen.

[Next news. It’s been several weeks since Egoistic, the leader of Egostrim and a global hero, resurrected in the middle of Seoul…]

With that, the screen showed footage of me at the time of my resurrection.

[Whoooooosh-]

In the middle of downtown Seoul.

Something fell from the sky with a bright yellow light pillar and a tremendous noise in that place.

…That was the way I was resurrected in this world.

From Stardust’s side, I descended in a spectacular manner, much like when the sun god sent down Halo.

Of course, having made such a fuss upon returning, it was self-evident that the spectacle was captured on camera and spread worldwide.

…As a result.

After my return, for a while, the broadcasts only covered the news of Egoistic’s resurrection.

Especially in South Korea, people were sobbing with emotion. It was a grateful yet bizarre event…

Anyway, after resurrecting in that manner, I announced that I would stay in the mansion for rest and stability and have been living in this same mansion.

…And, as if it was natural, my comrades were with me.

Everyone cried a lot on the day I returned. So much that I felt terribly sorry.

…Maybe the good news is that everyone got along while I was gone.

“…!!”

In the meantime, while looking at Haru, who was watching me appear on TV with a contented smile, in the midst of unknowingly smiling,

Boom- Kwaang-

Suddenly, I heard loud noises coming from under the blue sky outside the window, and naturally asked Seo Eun,

“Seo Eun-ah. Are they still doing that?”

“Yes. Don’t even talk about it. They say they have to get the most out of their powers before they completely disappear…”

Shaking her head back and forth while saying that, I listened to Seo Eun and chuckled, thinking.

After the sun god fell.

…As it appeared in the original work, the abilities of the super-powered individuals began to fade gradually. If time passes like this, even the strongest superhumans will become completely powerless.

And as a result.

…Trying to enjoy as much as possible before these powers completely vanish, Choi Se-hee and Seo Ja-young went out every morning to fight each other.

Of course, Ha-yul and Ariel, who were dragged along with them, were included.

“…Anyway, Eun-wol said she’s going to tell them to come back because it’s almost time to eat. They’ll be back soon.”

In response to Seo Eun’s following words,

I looked outside the window to see if they were returning.

…Clearly, since no larger sounds had been heard since the previous noises, are they slowly coming back?

Well, I can’t see them against the clear blue sky, so they’ll be back soon.

Of course, I could see the ones in the mansion’s front yard.

“Hmm….”

Lying on a sunbed in the front yard, reading a book in a strange combination of white robes and sunglasses, was the spirit-ssi and…

[hehehehem~ hahahaha! I missed this.]

Holding a big pair of shears and humming, doing some yard work, was Uncle Desik.

…By the way, when I, who had summoned Uncle Desik again as soon as I came back, asked if he was okay after hearing that Stardust saw him in the afterlife with his wife…

[hahahaha

! Of course. Initially, when I’m in the ring, I’m in the afterlife. And sometimes seeing each other is even more precious! hahahahaha!]

…Such was the reply.

Such a consistent uncle.

While I was thinking that,

On the TV, peaceful everyday stories, which lightly grazed my ears, were being broadcast.

[Breaking news. In the National Assembly, South Korea’s first ‘National Honoree Limited Polygamy Permit Law’ has been passed. This bill, also known as the polygamy law…]

…Wait a minute. It seems like I heard something strange.

With a sense of disbelief, I, who lifted my head, saw Lee Seol-ah, in the National Assembly, boasting with a triumphant face, smiling, and felt incredulous.

No. Why are you appearing there…?

As I was about to look at the news again,

Just then, there were noisy sounds from the entrance, and soon the ones who had gone out came into the living room, towels around their necks.

“Phew… all showered. Oh, Dain’s awake?”

“What’s this… Yawn. Yes. Hello, Dain.”

“Dain oppa, are you awake?”

Seemingly freshly showered Choi Se-hee, Seo Ja-young, Eun-wol, and Ha-yul.

While I was exchanging greetings with them, a loud voice came from Subin-ssi in the living room.

“Everyone, come eat breakfast~.”

“Ung~”

“Okay, unnie.”

So, they headed towards the kitchen,

And I, who was sitting on the sofa watching them with a contented expression, soon turned my head and looked out the window again.

It took a long time.

Finally, the original work ended, and the world entered the post-original era.

Although many cities were destroyed and there were those we lost… Unlike the original, I finally succeeded in saving the world.

Of course, there were still issues.

Although the superhumans’ abilities were weakening, the remaining abilities, the uneasiness regarding terror that residual villains could cause, the society to be newly established after the complete disappearance of the supernatural abilities, and how long the alliance between the heroes and villains would last… various concerns remained.

Strangely, though, I was not too worried about those things.

I wonder why.

“Dain.”

At about that moment, when I was thinking,

I, who turned my head again at the sound of that voice calling me,

“…Let’s go.”

There, stood,

Haru, having risen from her seat, shining her golden hair in the sunlight, smiling, and extending her hand towards me.

And seeing her,

“Understood.”

I, who smiled faintly, soon held her hand and rose from my spot.

Where was I?

…Yes. Somehow, now, I was not particularly worried about the future.

Although big problems were gone.

If we are all together, knowing this happiness can continue, is it?

“Let’s go, Haru-ssi.”

I, smiling, said to her,

Moving my steps towards where everyone was gathered, thought quietly.

Somehow.

I felt that this peace might continue in the future.

-I Became the Villain that the Hero is Obsessed with. The End.
