14 : In this world, the police deal with the dark.
Damn you tall people. A sigh comes out spontaneously.
The commissioner was delighted that he did well, but other high-ranking people and the media succeeded in clearing out the supervillains, but the high-ranking people of us sat there arguing why it took five days for the arrest operation.
No, this is what ‘some’ media and politicians, and idiots fighting for power with the Commissioner say. Bad feelings don’t change.
And even those people have something to say. The reason it took five days to arrest the guys this time was not because of a lack of personnel or lack of ability.
There is one reason why we took 5 days.
Even though those damn things are fighting for power by joining forces with each other.
The expression of joining forces is colorless, these bastards, when they saw Mina, they said they would not fight each other, pushed the guy next to them to fight and ran away.
It is not an analogy. They literally ran away, pushing each other away.
If it wasn’t for Mina, I couldn’t deal with supervillains, but those supervillains ran away from the hero.
Even the police didn’t want to fight, so it took us five days as we drove them like sheep.
Looking at these guys, I wonder if they heard something from Sai. Or maybe Mina is scared.
Supervillains who gain superpowers and kill people because of their pride are those who believe that even if they lose, their defeat is purely due to misfortune, and that they are the strongest.
I think the reason why the material of the union of supervillains appears only in the second half of the novel is because it took time for those who could be called the incarnation of unfounded confidence to realize the reality.
But I heard that those guys wouldn’t fight with Mina even if they died.

Just looking at it, isn’t it fucking weird? I’m glad I got it all, but I can’t deny the fact that it took longer than expected.
They say they don’t know anything about Sai, but there’s no way they can properly believe that.
“What kind of crap are you planning again… … .”
Swearing comes out on its own. I swallowed my curse and received the warm water in my face.
This is the shower room. It is currently used by the Special Investigation Team, but it was originally a shower room in the office used by the Special Investigation Team.
Even if I returned to the office after organizing the case, I was treated like the head of the special task force, so I had to do things like organizing the scene and writing a report.
I finally finished my work and washed my body while everyone else was resting.
It’s unfair to be covered with a damn coat of arms, but there’s a lot of work!
I said I would do everything I need to use, but I’m more tired than I imagined. Even if I die and wake up, I feel again that I am not the person to work with my best.
Come to think of it, the Commissioner said he would create a special task force centered on me, but how would an inspector lead such a special task force? What kind of class is there for you to boil and eat soup?
Obviously, being the head of the special task force is like showmanship to the anxious citizens, and when the team starts to stabilize, someone else will come here.
Until then, you’ll just have to be patient and suffer. It will. I hope so.
… … pestilence.
“Detective~ Did you wash everything? The police are asking me to ask if I want to eat jajangmyeon or jjamppong for dinner~”
As I sighed, Mina called out from outside the shower room.
Even though I was able to enter first, Mina came back with me after helping me write a report and clean up the site, saying she would help me.
Girls should wash a little longer, but have they already washed? I don’t know if it was or if I stopped by for a while before washing, but when I asked for the dinner menu, I tried to answer but kept my mouth shut for a while.
This is the office building of the special investigation team, and there is a jajangmyeon restaurant that I used to frequent nearby, and there is also a class leader, assuming there are people from the special task force who don’t even know me well.
The class president must know that I can’t eat jjambbong, so all I order is jajangmyeon, so why did Mina come here?
Are you keeping your mouth shut as revenge for what I brought you? What a nasty human being. If you make fun of people, you should have been prepared to get fucked.
I stuck out my tongue at the class president’s meanness and said while rubbing the shampoo that had been sprayed on my hair into my hair.
“I’m a ganjajang. by subtraction. Ask for some red pepper powder. There’s a favorite place to eat on the street opposite the office! over there-”
“- uh, yes ?! I can not hear you well!”
“I am! Jjajang-! oh no wait!”
I guess I can’t hear well because of the sound of water.
I hurriedly wiped the shampoo off my hair, brushed off the water from my hair, and opened the door to tell Mina, who was standing outside the shower room covered with a towel, what to do.
“ah. Just say it again… … Herb hub!”
In an instant, Mina’s power loss shook her ears. As the steam escaped from the room, my vision was slightly blurred and I couldn’t see, but that was for a while.
My vision returned and what I saw was Mina, blushing as she looked at me in front of the shower door.
No, to be precise, I was doing the motion of covering my eyes with my hand, but the act itself of covering my fingers with my fingers open seemed meaningless. That’s why you’re pretending to cover it up and seeing it all.
In addition, the flight jumper I usually wear was off. I was curious about the structure of his kkoljjogi, but it seems to be a structure in which you take off the zipper on the back and put it on.
But I wonder what kind of material those chewy sticks are made of so that they don’t tear easily even when fighting so fiercely. Are you saying the material name is censorship?
I stopped thinking about such nonsense and scratched my cheek.
“I eat a lot of soy sauce. by adding chili powder. The class president knows, but I have to order it from the store across the street?”
I finished what I was going to say and tried to go back in. Mina was staring blankly at me, whether or not she heard me.
Looking at Mina, who is trembling and looking at me with her face dyed as red as a tomato, I think, why is she like this? was
I raised my eyebrows and looked at Mina. Receiving my gaze, Mina made her blushing face even redder, looked at me slowly, and said with a forced smile.
“ha ha ha. You seem to be working harder than you think. I really like my body, so it’s cool- Ah, this isn’t it… … What nonsense are you talking about… … .”
Mina suddenly makes a strange sound, then crouches down and screams in agony, as if she felt ashamed of herself.
It made me realize that this bratty kid was thinking about my body.
I’m not a puberty male high school student, what are you doing? I shook my head and looked at Mina when I saw the toilet bag she had brought.
Maybe he told me the menu I was going to order and tried to wash himself.
However, there are only travel shampoos and soaps sold at convenience stores, and there is nothing that girls can bring with them.
No, whatever I bought before, this baby. I asked with a frown on my face.
“Hey, where did you put all the cosmetics that I bought you before? I researched the Internet and bought everything for a guy with a pretty face to dress up a bit… … … .”
When I pressed my head with force, Mina said with a stern expression as usual.
“Hey, it’s pretty. I’m happy, but there’s no way I could bring something like that in a situation like this… … . No, more confidently than that, if you go around like that, it’s sexual harassment… … .”
“Isn’t it sexual harassment to look at that?”
“… … .”
Mina looked at me as if it was a combination. He seemed to think about it for a while, but rather confidently started looking at me again.
It was as if he was trying to show with his body that he hadn’t done anything wrong.
Such Mina’s face was redder than before, and it had changed to the point where I wondered if a person’s skin could turn so red, so there wasn’t much credibility.
I wanted to be in the middle of the day, so I turned around pretending not to know.
“- If you are going to wash, use the third shower over there. water comes out well Also wash behind the ears. You have to wash it clean.”
“a little! You shouldn’t be ashamed of yourself either! I guess I’m the only one who’s really weird! Me, take off my clothes too?! Take it off?!”
Mina groaned, saying that the lack of response was rather hurtful. I sneered at Mina and told her about the old days.
“Last winter, when you jumped into the frozen water alone and suffered from a cold. I went to buy you medicine and make porridge, but do you remember what I did when you secretly stole the soju I bought for you and drank it?”
“oh.”
Mina put on a face that was empty of the world at the words I said. Now I started to contort my face in a different sense of shame, but I didn’t mind.
“I vomited and cried and was very asshole. You don’t know how much I suffered for changing your clothes back then. What did you do to that kid then? embarrassed? It’s impossible.”
“And think of your age. It’s true that the blood hasn’t even dried on your head yet.”
“Ugh, that extreme… … .”
Mina wants to recall the past and refute it, but she only puffed out her cheeks in resentment, perhaps realizing that digging further would only reveal her own dark history.
I was so excited to see Mina like that. What does a 35-year-old man say he likes?
It’s funny because he’s right when he sees himself being ashamed of himself in a situation like this but acting boldly in his own way.
I can’t seem to get rid of the thought that I like someone my age and what happens to them.
I wish that a man like the prince on a white horse, who did not appear in the original work, would appear and take Mina away, but it’s hard to say that he’s asking a prince on a white horse because of his personality.
Are you worried about whether you will be able to get a job later? If an incident happens on the day of the exam, he is the kind of guy who throws everything and goes to save people first… … .
I let out a deep sigh and went back into the shower.
“First love never comes true.”
“… … It’s my first and last love, so it’s okay.”
“Don’t talk about your last love while you’re still in high school.”
Seeing Mina speak confidently with a grin on her face, I laughed in reverse, thinking that it was a very childlike statement.
First love and last love. Isn’t it a line that can only be seen in third-rate romance novels?
Internet rumors surfaced about a high school student couple claiming to be each other’s first and last love, submitting a marriage report to the government office, and then breaking up and causing a stir.
Eventually, as time goes by, the day will come when you will laugh and say it was a mistake you made when you were young.
I went back to the shower room and tried to finish the shower that I couldn’t finish.
As if Mina was trying to change the awkward atmosphere, she couldn’t go back into the box she was asking for.
“Detective. But, that woman. Do you know why Sai is doing this? You said you would tell me the other day, but you haven’t told me yet.”
“Ah, did you?”
After the destruction of the lab, he said he would tell me about Sai’s purpose, but he was so distracted that he couldn’t tell me.
But would you believe me if I told you this? Destroy the world to make me look back?
It’s bullshit that even a cheap B-movie scriptwriter can’t think of. That’s why I couldn’t tell this to the special team either.
I’m going to tell Mina, but even if you don’t believe it, let’s calmly laugh and pass it on. With that in mind, I sighed and told him about the purpose Sai had stated.
“That guy is kicking me and destroying the world to make me look back. Wouldn’t it be okay if what you’ve done is no longer a crime?”
“… … yes?”
“… … I can’t believe it. I just-”

Just said anything I looked back with a blank smile as if I was evasive. oh my god. Mina was looking at me with her bright red eyes suffocatingly wide open.
Mina’s current appearance was fleeting, but she was exuding a terrifying pressure that reminded her of the relationship.
As I was stiffening up, Mina proudly entered the shower as if she had been lying about her blushing at my body.
Then, standing in front of me, Mina said with a smile as if flowers were falling apart.
“Detective. I’m telling you just in case. You can’t forgive that nonsense to stop her. Is that absolutely not enough?”
“of course.”
Isn’t it because I didn’t intend to do that in the first place? No, more than that, why is he like this? Is this because the kid is jealous? Was he such a jealous kid?
When I nodded in disgust, Mina nodded in satisfaction.
Are all those who say they are born with psychic powers have such a wide emotional gap? I’m really scared to come back He went outside, terrified by Mina’s sudden change.
In the office, the class president and the task force team were fighting over whether or not to include Palbochae on the menu.
Yes, palbochae is important. I forgot my fear a moment ago and looked at the people who were more enthusiastic than during the investigation.
Oh, it’s not ‘satisfying’, but ‘pathetic’ is right.
The people who gathered in the special task force thought that there were only a few talented and competent people, but in the end, they were all idiots.
But I am also part of that special task force. Does that mean I’m sick too?
I had a lot of things I wanted to say in a moment. I decided not to put it in my mouth. Come to think of it, Palbochae seemed to be a rather important topic.

“By the way, Captain. How are you going to catch the Justice bastard? They say there’s an uproar in that area right now.”
In the middle of a late dinner, the youngest cop on the special task force asked me [excluding Mina, of course].
In addition to being located near Gimpo Airport, Justice, who is presumed to have information about Sai, is currently our task force’s next target.
Even the youngest wouldn’t ask such a question if it was as simple as rearranging and rushing in and grabbing it.
According to the information obtained by Yunari this time, Justice, as before, believes that she is justice and a true hero.
In the past, people would not have listened to the words of such a young Justice.
The problem is that the asshole is now talking about protecting people and stopping criminals that the police couldn’t stop.
The people in that neighborhood are cooperating to survive because the only thing that can protect them against supervillains who can’t trust the police and can’t do anything about the army is Justice.
In such a situation, the followers of Justice, who existed before, gather in that location and become a group that reads it as a vigilante and reads it as a gangster, and it is said that they are making more uproar.
Yes. Previously, he had only dealt with supervillains and a few criminals.
In order to catch the current Justice, we have to deal with ordinary citizens who follow the Justice.
If Justice and his subordinates avoid fighting with Mina and run away like the ones they caught this time, the success of the operation is uncertain.
But honestly, I wasn’t worried.
It’s true in the world that no matter how strong a person is, a bad guy can’t do bad things.
“Ah, no need to worry about that. Here, in front of you is the guy that bastard wants to catch and kill. If the leader of our special task force just gently wags his tail, Justice will come out on his own, right?”
The class president smiled and said what I was thinking. Although the tone of the class president was irritating. That was the right word.
I’ve heard that Justice created a commotion inside the prison, vowing to kill me for sure if he went outside.
I was very surprised that he didn’t attack me straight away and plotted his forces first, but he wouldn’t be able to stand it if I approached anyway.
Of course, I would have written the number. I would have rolled my head. Or maybe Sai had messed with something.
But it should be easy since Justice’s dexterity isn’t usually bad.
“In that case, you just have to suffer for a few more days.”
“You don’t even need a few days. One day is all it takes.”
“day?”
At my words, the members of the task force looked at me in surprise. I shrugged.
The fact that it took about 5 days to complete the operation wasn’t just a matter of getting robbed by some oddballs.
If you don’t somehow quickly find out where they are and what they are doing, you will be out of control.

Judging from what Sai has declared, what Sai does next will be something that will destroy this society itself.
To prevent that, we would have to defeat Sai, but as you know, it is impossible to defeat Sai in a head-to-head confrontation, no matter how much dragons Mina and I use.
In the end, our fight means that it is a fight against time that we have to interrupt and stop before something happens between us.
However, everyone should know this, and deliberately mentioning it in a situation like this only hurts morale.
So instead of this fact, I put something else into my mouth.
“One day is enough for such a mischievous guy.”
“hahahaha! Yes!”
People laugh.
First of all, I’m the one who officially defeated the Justice guy physically and threw him away, so if I say this, it will also help boost morale.
Oh, just for reference, I already told the people on the task force that I was able to defeat Justice thanks to Yunari’s help.
The members of the special team know that they have known Yunari for a long time, so they were able to defeat her by using a trial version.
Thanks to that, the members of the task force don’t talk weird nonsense like the homicide detectives used to. It was fortunate.
“however… … Why doesn’t that heroine cling to her like a chewing gum and not come off? Did you fight?”
One of the cops asked, pointing to Mina clinging to my arms like a squirrel. Those eyes were warm as if looking at a cute child. The gaze directed at me is tinged with a little doubt.
I searched for something to say to that gaze, but when I realized I had nothing to say, I quietly shut my mouth.
After washing and coming out, Mina doesn’t say anything and stays like this. I was worried that I wouldn’t catch a cold because I didn’t even dry my hair.
But to think like that, huh? Am I a polar father? I thought.
for a moment. I guess I’m a really polar father.
probably not It won’t be. I stroked my chin and added red pepper powder to the bowl of salty noodles.
It was delicious.
