88 – The bare face behind the mask (2)
I made Ruina sit on the sofa and brought her body as close as possible.
Then, she quietly brought up the matter that could be her hope or despair for Ruina.
At first, she was just smiling and wondering what I was going to say,
“……… ….”
When she brought up the story of her lab, her complexion slowly turned to an earthy color.
“I thought there might be something… …. “It was something like that.”
Ruina reacted calmly, unexpectedly.
I thought I would run out right away and go find Masquerade in the middle of the night.
“Ruina. “What are you going to do?”
“Masquerade met me and said she wanted to find me? “Then let me find her.”
Louisa clenched her fist, which was small but full of power.
She didn’t want to leave right away, but it seemed like she had already made up her mind.
“That day. “You clearly said you destroyed everything in the lab, so how on earth did the Masquerade survive there?”
“Well. 24, I remember, was a very nimble person. Thanks to that, I secretly stole a few more pieces of bread served during meal times and gave them away. “He was a very kind and upright person.”
“It definitely feels similar to Masquerade…….”
“Well, if you had had your ability adjusted like me after that, you might have been able to avoid my destructive ability. Right now, Masquerade is going to deal with me before I can even get my hands on it, right?”
Ruina, who was saying that, suddenly raised her eyebrows.
And then he tilted his head.
She tilted her head to the side.
“But I have one question.”
“Any questions?”
“Yes. The 24 I know was one or two years older than me, right? It was she who said, “I might die today.” So is she, Masquerade, actually a woman?”
“It could be so. “Masquerade is a woman!?”
Without realizing it, I jumped up from my seat and started screaming.
Neighbors… Even though it is our maid, Jang Se-hee, the team leader.
In any case, the voice was loud enough to be a nuisance to the neighbors.
“For someone so masculine to be a woman… ….”
“Yes, yes. 24 Said her face looked pretty too? “Thanks to her, her boys really liked her.”
“hahahaha… ….”
I never thought I would laugh out loud with such unexpected information while we were talking about something dark.
I patted Ruina’s head, which refreshed her mood.
“hehehe. It tickles♡”
“Thank you, Ruina. Thanks to you, I was able to relieve some of my heavy thoughts.”
“Is it a heavy burden that Masquerade is a woman?”
“Oh, no. “That’s not what I meant!”
“Baby. If you look away because she’s a pretty girl, just in case……. “Eight!”
Ruina smiled brightly at me and ran towards me.
“Because she will let me seep into her entire body so that no other woman can even see her.”
“Lu, Ruina… ….”
It looks like the switch has been turned on.
When everyone else is acting with heavy duties.
Is it okay for me to be happy like this?
…… A thought occurred to her for a moment, but she quickly shook her head to shake it off.
Didn’t Inspector Lee Tae-seok and Ex-Machina tell me?
Please take good care of Ruina.
And I am a hero handler.
As the name suggests, she is a unique hero who takes care of Ruina.
So, in the end, it is my duty to accommodate Ruina’s mood.
“hehehe♡ Looks like this place is already ready♡”
Ruina glanced at my lower body and licked her lips with her tongue.
Thanks to that bewitching appearance, I finished self-justification and decided to surrender myself to this pink flow.
“Ruina. I really love you.”
“Yes…… ♡”
After Ruina and I confirmed our sincerity to each other.
I overlapped my body like that.

The next day.
The Hero Bureau office was noisy with the noise of people working.
“Does something good seem to happen these days?”
While I was in the middle of working on the computer, Gyeongtae sitting next to me suddenly poked his head in.
“It’s a good thing.”
“Because it’s all over your face.”
“Should I call this a good thing?” ….”
If you think about it, it’s just that you can’t even see what the future will be like.
That’s how it looks on my face when Gyeongtae looks at it.
“How are you and Si-eun?”
“Oh, what do you think? How are you doing?”
“No dude. You guys have been dating for a while now. So, has there been any progress?”
“Why would I tell you that, idiot?”
“Hoo. Since you don’t say no clearly, does this guy have something going on?”
“No, no comment.”
Gyeongtae was embarrassed and hid his head behind the partition.
I thought they were pitiful, single brothers forever.
We were both becoming adults step by step.
It’s so peaceful now.
What will happen on the day Ruina and Masquerade meet? ….
“Hey. Cho Seong-hoon.”
Only Gyeongtae’s eyes were sticking out beyond the partition.
“What? Now, do you want to tell me how you messed around with Si-eun?”
“I will take care of it myself. “You and Yuri should get along well.”
“Ha. “Are you just going to say that?”
“Thanks to you and Yuri, I got to know Blaze and Si-eun. “I’m so, so grateful to you couple.”
“You, Gyeongtae… ….”
“So, make sure to make Yuri happy. “I will also play hard with Si-eun.”
Gyeongtae’s eyes flashed with determination.
It was the look in the eyes of a close friend and man.
I smiled and waved my hands.
“Yeah dude. “Think of it as a chance you won’t get twice and act like it.”
“hehehe. “I think the two people who say that are not working right now and are just making fun of each other~?”
While confirming the strong friendship between men.
A low female voice came from behind.
From Noble mtl dot com
Gyeongtae had already hidden his head beyond the partition.
“Seo, senior… ….”
Behind her, the female senior who had helped Ruina earlier was standing with a very angry expression on her face.
“Documents in charge. “You can finish it by today, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right! No problem!”
“What about Yoo Gyeong-tae~?”
“You can do it!!”
In response to my senior’s serious question about the instrument, a loud answer was heard from beyond the partition.
“Then let’s work hard today too? “Don’t be a joke♪”
The senior smiled broadly, tapped my shoulder, and returned to his seat.
Of course, people who laugh while saying things like that were the scariest.

The time when Seonghoon was in the midst of his daily routine as a public servant.
In Seonghoon’s 43 square meter house, where there was no owner, three people and one hidden person were putting their heads together.
“This is an appropriately selected meeting place. Please check.”
After Tae-seok received satellite photos of several areas sent by an Ex-Machina who had managed to hide somewhere in the house.
I was showing it to Ruina and Sehee as a proxy.
“Everyone is far away from the city.”
“You never know what kind of accident could happen near the city center… ….”
Louis I think she didn’t want to fight with her older sister, with whom she was close.
However, Baron Masquerade has forgotten who he is.
If she thought that the only way to get herself back was through fighting, as Ruina, she had no choice but to fight back.
“Ha. I’m in a position where I might get into a fight with someone like my own sister. “My position is also quite unfortunate.”
“My real sister…… Is it.”
Ruina nodded her head with a round expression at her Taeseok’s muttering.
“She is someone who knew me before I was a villain, so of course she is my real sister.”
“I hope I can have a smooth conversation with you.”
“Of course! “I don’t want to go around destroying everyone!!”
Ruina stood up quietly from her seat, sticking out her lips.
“But what if we get into a fight?”
In response to her next question, the two lowered their heads.
In fact, what everyone wanted was to end it with words, but everyone knew that that would never happen.
So, the meeting places sent by Ex Machina were only places far away from the city center to prevent civilian casualties.
“Ruina. “What would you do if you had to kill the Masquerade?”
“24?”
“Yes.”
In response to Taeseok’s question, Ruina silenced her mouth for a moment.
And then the silence followed.
I wonder what she is thinking.
Taeseok and Sehee quietly waited for her answer.
“hehehe.”
Soon, what was heard before the answer was Ruina’s hearty laughter.
“No matter how much of a sister I am, they are trying to kill me because they only look at the past? Then I have to do my best to deal with it. “Because I have a precious person waiting for me.”
It was a bright answer from someone who looked to the future and could no longer be considered a villain.
