I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With chapter 241

241 – Ariel

Latis City, a city located deep in the sea.

A white temple located in the middle of it. At the place where Atlas, the head of Latis, is staying, we had a meeting.

“Ha ha ha! It’s been a while since I’ve seen Ego-Stick. It’s good to see your face. Yes, and is this a katana?”

“Yes. Hello.”

“Yes yes. Speak at ease! Oh and this is our daughter Ariel. Katana and you are new to each other? Let’s say hello. Katana, this is Ariel. Ariel, this is Katana.”

“hello.”

“hello…”

Katana reached Ariel’s hand in a formal and static tone, and Ariel shook hands with her own slightly reddened cheeks correspondingly.

After the two of them had finished greeting each other, Atlas laughed again and said,

“Yes, yes. Now that we have said our goodbyes, please come with me. There is still plenty of time before the catedal opens.”

Just then, when Atlas turned his back to escort us to the guest parlor.

“Ah, Dad…!”

His daughter Ariel, who had been standing quietly behind Atlas the whole time, called out to him in a slightly urgent voice.

“Hmm? Why is that, daughter?”

Only then did Atlas turn his head and look there.

Then she hurriedly glanced at her father, then glanced at me.

It was only then that he remembered something, laughing with an ah-like voice.

Then Atlas spoke to me.

“Kuhmm. Ergostik. You still have some time. In the meantime, I’ll introduce Katana to the temple. In the meantime, why don’t you take a walk around here with my daughter?

he says that to me.

When I heard that, I turned to Ariel, and her cheeks blushed slightly more.

…I think I have a rough idea of how it works.

After grasping the situation to some extent, I smiled and nodded to Atlas and replied.

“Yes. I understand. Let’s do that.”

“Cheerful, I get it.”

He added, nodding his head at my words.

“Thank you for listening. Ugh, how much before you came my daughter was whining at me asking me to spend some time alone with you, and if you didn’t listen to me, how much would you hurt me…”

“Ah… Daddy!!!”

“Oops, I need to go quickly. Katana follow me this way.”

He closed his eyes with his hands clasped at him, avoided Ariel’s eyes, who had shouted with a red face, and showed a mischievous smile, then took the katana and disappeared like the wind.

In that empty center, only me and Ariel were left.

“Ugh…”

Ariel bowed her head with a flushed face as if she was about to explode while holding onto her face, as if she was ashamed to show me that.

I gave her a kind smile and spoke in the softest voice possible.

“Then Ariel, can you guide me?”

“Yes, yes…”

Even with a reddened face, she said with a nod.

…That’s how I started walking alone with Ariel after a long time.

***

Ariel.

With blue hair as clear as the color of the sea, and sky-blue crystal eyes shining like jewels.

She is the only daughter that Atlas cherishes more than anyone else, and she has never been publicly disclosed.

Also, in the original work, he was a person who left this world due to a curse and did not exist.

I brought her back to life by twisting the original.

‘…That was several years ago.’

In order to hold hands with Atlas, I made a promise to rescue his daughter after a difficult encounter with him.

It was possible because I knew to some extent what kind of curse it was and how to heal it through the original work. Of course, it wasn’t easy to do because I knew only roughly.

At that time, Ariel’s condition was serious.

Because of the curse, I was only breathing, and I was lying in bed all day, losing consciousness. And as he tried to save his daughter, Atlas became more and more violent.

Fortunately, thanks to my intrusion, Ariel miraculously survived.

‘Did you… save me?’

…I remember the day when Ariel first opened her eyes and met my eyes.

Even after Ariel woke up, I often visited the city of Atlas for a while to fully resolve the curse.

Of course, after that I was busy and couldn’t go for a while.

Anyway, by the way…

As I thought about that, I looked at Ariel, who was walking silently beside me with slightly reddened cheeks.

“Ariel?”

“…! Yes, four! Oops, ugh…”

She bit her tongue as if she was momentarily surprised by my words.

Seeing Ariel welling up in tears with shame, I quickly turned my back.

“It’s nice to see your face after a long time.”

“Yes… Yes. Nice to meet you too…”

“What have you been doing?”

When I said that to her, who was still as shy as when we first met, she answered while stuttering.

“I-it’s always the same. Whether it’s just taking a walk in the city or swimming outside… things like that. My father doesn’t let me go because he’s weak…”

While saying that, she blurted out her words with a slightly dark expression.

However, as if it had never happened, he opened his mouth again with a slight smile on his face.

“But whatever. I was living my life happily. I can breathe even in the sea thanks to the ability that my father gave me…”

That’s how she explains what she’s been doing up until now.

As expected, when she started talking, she was smiling and talking well, unlike her shy appearance earlier, as if she had become less shy.

Well, according to Atlas in the past, at home, he has a bright personality and likes to exert himself. Oddly enough, in front of me, something always suddenly became embarrassing.

With that thought in mind, I responded to Ariel’s words as we walked along the outskirts of the city.

With a smile on her eyes, she tells of the time she played with a turtle and a human in the water over there.

…And whenever I see her like that, I feel, I wonder where Atlas’ genes have gone. Undoubtedly, Atlas’ father has a rugged look with a beard like a bandit, but his daughter, Ariel, is just a pure beauty. To what extent, does it just feel like a sculpted face?

Also, the clothes are flimsy, like the clothes of the Greek era, so I feel like I look more slender maybe because I’m wearing a thin white cloth. This is also the complete opposite of the muscular Atlas. What the two of them have in common is that they both have a lot of skin color exposure because they are both wearing sea clothes..? Oh, and Ariel is also an active personality who enjoys playing in the water despite being sick.

…Actually, this one was also forcibly matched, and in fact, it’s safe to say that they have little in common except for the color of their blue eyes. If Ariel didn’t have the ability to breathe in the sea and control water like her father, she would have doubted whether she was a real child. …It is easy to guess the appearance of the bereaved wife.

Anyway, while I was thinking about that, Ariel stopped talking and said again with a slightly reddened face.

“Ah… I’m sorry. I said it to myself, didn’t I?”

“hahahaha. No. I also enjoyed listening to it.”

“Umm… What have you been doing, Mr. Egostick?”

“Yeah? What’s that?”

…terrorism, killing other villains, planning the growth of Stars…?

At that moment when I was thinking about what to say, Ariel nodded at me as if she knew everything and said.

“Actually, I watched the broadcast too. Is it Egostream… You’re building it there, right? Terrorizing. Just like my father.”

“Um, yes. That’s right.”

I was momentarily taken aback and scratched my cheeks as I replied.

…right. The other day Atlas told me that his daughter was looking for me. then you will know everything

‘Sup…’

I feel a bit embarrassed by the feeling that something embarrassing private life has been exposed. Apparently, Ariel was sick for a long time after waking up, so she was bedridden for a while, so during that time, I would visit her from time to time and take care of her as kindly as possible. A little doctored.

By the way, isn’t it the case that the patient saw the doctor live terrorizing himself with a gun and laughing like a madman? At this rate, if I were a real doctor, I would be deprived of my medical license…

That’s how I continued my thoughts and wondered how the Internet exploded in the deep sea, when I resented the cutting-edge science and technology of Team Latis.

Ariel, who was walking next to me, said with a serious face.

“Looking at that… I was really envious.”

“…yes?”

I envy you? what is envy

Before I could finish my thoughts, she continued talking.

“I want to play outside like Mr. Egostick. I’m not stuck like a bird in a cage here in the middle of the depths of the sea…”

She muttered that while looking up at the blue sea shining through the transparent dome.

When I was thinking about how to respond to her like that.

She took a breath, then looked back at me as if she had made up her mind.

“So, Mr. Egostick. I have a favor for you.”

“…is it something?”

“Um, can’t you include me as a member of oppa’s party? It’s Ego Stream.”

Soon after, she clenched her fists with both hands and trembled slightly as she said that to me.

…Perhaps he called me because he wanted to talk about this today. To tell me this, she must have plucked up her utmost courage.

And I, to her looking up at me with earnest eyes.

I had no choice but to reply in an apologetic tone.

“…Unfortunately, no.”

“…”

‘…’

At my words, she stiffened as if in shock.

…Still, it was impossible. no. Terrorize a child who is not even physically fit yet? It’s nonsense. Atlas could kill me.

In addition, it is doubtful that her ability will be able to deal with Stardus. I’ve never seen it with the naked eye, so I don’t know how strong it is, but I don’t think she’ll be able to deal with Stardus after waking up after lying down all day.

So I explained it well and explained it well enough for Ariel to understand.

Then, she listened to me with her head bowed down, then muttered something inaudible to herself in a hollow voice.

“…Ahahahaha. I see. Because I’m weak… I look weak…”

Then she raised her head and smiled.

“Okay. I can’t help it if my ego-stick oppa is like that.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“No. Hehe.”

And her eyes speak in a bright voice.

Somewhere, it seemed a bit empty.

…I feel a bit spooky, but it seems to have worked out anyway, right?

It was reassuring.
