82 – Two people who resemble each other (3)
“My stalker?”
“Heroes know that.”
These were the answers of Ruina and team leader Jang Se-hee, respectively.
I was at a loss for words for a moment at the exemplary answers that could have come from each of their mouths.
“…… “They are right, though.”
“Did you also meet the Masquerade there?”
Ruina asked, raising her head towards me.
“Should I say we met? “Should I say it happened suddenly?”
“Did you get hit? Honey? What?”
Did I have a bad imagination?
Ruina jumped up from my leg, her eyes sharp.
“No, no. It’s not that something happened physically. “I was forced to make an appointment.”
“Promise?”
I have to be honest and honest here.
Eventually, Louis went into listening mode, with me next to her.
She told everything about what happened with Masquerade at the hero gathering.
He suddenly came to me and said he needed my skills.
He asked me to help him catch Ruina.
The whole story, including the secret story that he didn’t tell others about losing himself.
“What does that have to do with me?”
That was my impression of Louis after hearing her entire story.
I fully agreed with what she said.
Aside from the similarity that no one’s identity is known to the world, in fact, the two people could not be found to have anything related to each other, such as personality, abilities, etc.
When Masquerade said that she was somehow stimulated by Ruina’s abilities, Ruina simply shook her head and gestured that she had no idea.
“What about the team leader?”
“Yes?”
“I was wondering if you knew something about the Masquerade as a secret agent.”
“Just because a secret agent is not omnipotent…….”
Oh yeah.
It was my fault for expecting too much from a team leader I didn’t like.
“Then, by any chance, Inspector Lee Tae-seok, does he know anything?”
“You probably don’t know either. “From the beginning, the heroes we were looking at were set, and Masquerade was not on that list, at least for our team.”
“Ha… ….”
In conclusion, no one knows the identity of Masquerade.
He is a hero full of doubts who is already alone with his face covered.
“Well, I’ll ask the team just in case.”
“Thank you for doing so.”
Team leader Jang Se-hee immediately took his cell phone and went into the bathroom for a moment.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have to go to the bathroom, but I guess it’s out of consideration for us.
Or maybe there was an emergency signal and I went in to make a phone call.
“Baby. “I’m thinking about something strange.”
“Uh, huh? I?”
Ruina poked my cheek and blew air into her cheek.
“It’s all revealed through facial expressions and tone of voice.”
“hahahaha… ….”
As expected, she is my girlfriend with sharp senses.
You can see through the thoughts in my head in such a short amount of time.
“So what do you want to do? The villain he’s looking for, Ruina, is here.”
Ruina asked, wrapping her arms around mine.
Her big eyes blinked at me.
“I feel like I just want to ignore it. “If we meet and get screwed, I don’t know what will happen to you or the Masquerade.”
“Are you both worried?”
“Of course, your worries are much bigger.”

I was worried that Ruina might get upset, so I added quickly and stroked her soft cheek.
“Ehehehe♡ You look cute when you’re embarrassed.”
“Your ears are cute.”
I guess Ruina knew long ago that I was going to say something like that.
Soon she came to rest her head on my shoulder.
“I don’t really care if we meet.”
“But it’s dangerous.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. In the past, heroes have survived even when hit by a truck.”
“Ruina… ….”
I gently brushed down Louisa’s long, shiny black hair.
“When you stroke me like that, my neck gets itchy and I’m embarrassed… ….”
Ruina blushed slightly.
Then he raised his head towards me and slowly closed his eyes.
A very sudden kiss signal.
But I didn’t hate it.
As a man, I couldn’t be more happy to have a lover who constantly craves affection.
For a moment, she forgot about her hero and was about to lower her head towards Ruina’s small, light pink lips.
“I received a call from my senior──. Oh.”
Team Leader Jang Se-hee’s embarrassed voice came from the back of his head.
I raised my head in anger even though I had done nothing wrong.
“Oh.”
And Ruina glared fiercely at team leader Jang Se-hee, probably because her kissing mood was broken.
“Shall I tell you again later?”
“No… …. “Please tell me right away.”
It was my fault for trying to make fun of someone when there was clearly a third person at home.
If you waste time here, the picture will become even stranger.
“To conclude, senior Lee Tae-seok also says he doesn’t know anything about Masquerade.”
Team leader Jang Se-hee, who returned to the sofa again, said the same thing.
“What on earth is that person?”
You don’t even know the National Intelligence Service, which hides in the shadows of the country and collects information that the world doesn’t know about.
This part also seemed very similar to Ruina.
It’s as if the National Intelligence Service was completely unaware of Ruina’s past activities, which she heard about on the day she first drank with him.
“So, what do you mean? Senior Lee Tae-seok wants to meet the handler.”
“Huh? “Suddenly?”
What kind of wind suddenly blew?
After Team Leader Jang Se-hee became team leader and maid, she never showed herself to me.
“You said you wouldn’t be able to tell everything through non-face-to-face contact… ….”
“Hmm.”
If that stone Buddha says that, there must be some valid reason.
He has almost no emotional ups and downs, but he is the most capable person I have ever met.
I slowly got up from the sofa, put my hands on my waist, and looked at team leader Jang Se-hee.
“Okay. “It’s been a while since I saw my former team leader’s face.”

After accepting the meeting with Inspector Lee Tae-seok.
It’s late at night when the only sound you can hear is the cold wind.
“It’s cold, so you can stay inside the house.”
“You promised to stick around on holidays no matter what happens. So it will stick.”
Ruina, wrapped tightly in her thick coat and scarf, looking round like a snowman, was outside the common entrance, holding on to my arm tightly.
Originally, she would have been able to destroy even the coldness that touched her.
Now, as can be seen from the way she is holding on to my arm tightly, her ability to deal with me has been sealed, so she is so cute and fully armed.
“Ah, it was like that. Sorry.”
“That’s all you need to know~ hehehe.”
Anyway, the reason we went outside in this cold early winter weather was to meet Inspector Lee Tae-seok.
But usually, as soon as I went outside, a black van appeared at good timing.
Their arrival was a little late today compared to other days.
Of course, we only had to wait 3 minutes, but it seemed even more late because they had been arriving in 3 seconds, let alone 3 minutes.
After Team Leader Jang Se-hee came to live next door to us.
Maybe it’s because I got bitten by a lot of black suits waiting around the house.
“Anyway, is there a reason why you asked to see me this late at night?”
By the time I left the house, it was already 20 minutes past 00:00.
If tomorrow wasn’t a holiday, it was late enough to just ask to meet next time.
What on earth does Inspector Lee Tae-seok want to tell me, why does he want to meet me at this late hour?
The answer would soon be known as a familiar silhouette approached with its headlights turned on.
A black van approached, chasing away the darkness of the night with bright lights.
A vehicle so familiar to me that I even memorized its license plate stopped smoothly in front of the front door.
Drurr.
The sliding door opens in front of us.
Even in this cold weather, Inspector Lee Tae-seok appeared, still wearing a suit and sunglasses.
“Hello. Handler. “Ruina.”
“I said hello, and since it’s cold, I’ll give you a quick ride. “We’ve been waiting for a few minutes.”
“I’m sorry. “Please come in.”
Watcher Lee Tae-seok, who was scolded by Ruina, quickly entered the dark car.
“f*ck you.”
Ruina, who got away from me, jumped up first and got into the van.
“Huh!?”
Then, while I was trying to get on.
Ruina’s surprised voice suddenly came from inside the car.
What on earth did you see inside?
“Huh?”
A voice like that immediately came out of my mouth as I climbed up with the very natural thought.
“It’s been a while, both of you. “Is it only for a month?”
A small passenger who boarded before us.
Her Self A girl with a laptop larger than her body on her lap gave her characteristic cynical greeting.
Of course, we knew that this girl was actually older than us.
“Ex Machina…… !”
A hero who is more secretive than anyone else, never revealing himself to the outside world.
Jeonji’s Ex Machina grinned and raised the corners of her mouth.
