309 – In the Deepest Underground
Carceas.
This place, which was created with the birth of the Association, is a prison of one of the few talented people in the world.
In the first place, one of the reasons why the association has such a strong power is because it has the exclusive technology and ownership of Carceas.
A prison with the world’s strongest security facility, where those with the ability to shake the country alone are imprisoned using all sorts of methods.
and the deepest.
It may be a villain or a monster that has existed since ancient times. To the place where the existence that is said to have cursed power was sealed.
to kill the guy.
Stardus, along with Egostick, were heading deep into the prison.
So now, with her help, in a blind spot without CCTV.
Stardus stood quietly next to Egostick.
“…Mr.
An ego-stick muttering that with sharp eyes, including the hat he usually wears.
Seeing him like that, Stardus stared blankly at his face without realizing it.
‘…the ego stick, the subtle eyelashes…’
“…Mr. Stardus?”
“Huh? …Ah, yes. Let’s go in this direction.”
She finally came to her senses at Egostick’s questionable words, and nodded her head at Egostick’s words.
“Yes, then I will teleport and hide first. Go first.”
With those words, he disappeared right in front of my eyes.
After he completely disappeared, Stardus was able to breathe a small sigh.
‘…wouldn’t it have been caught?’
With that thought in mind, Stadus quietly placed a hand on his chest.
pounding, pounding. Her heart is beating a little faster than usual.
Since last night, whenever she looked at his face for some reason, her heart beat faster than usual, and she blushed.
‘…Ugh, embarrassing.’
What did you do to yourself last night?
…she still remembered the image of herself rubbing her face against his chest, drunkenly in Egostick’s arms. I don’t remember the last time I went to sleep, maybe because I was drunk.
It was unbelievable that he was a hero who always showed a strong face with a firm face.
…However, she is strangely egoistic. Standing in front of him, I felt my tension melt away. For some reason, I feel relieved, and I feel like I’m laughing for no reason.
last week.
Being with Egostick, she realized that, without realizing it, she enjoyed every day.
…Always in situations similar to battlefields, as heroes and villains. It’s not about meeting as a terrorist and a blocker… or dealing with an enemy in an emergency.
Just having breakfast together, chatting, taking a walk… This is the first time we’ve done such ordinary things.
Sometimes, I even forgot he was a villain.
…if egostick wasn’t the villain.
If he’s a hero, if he was.
Could the two of us have always been like this?
Tick-tack at each other, he teases. he is hot
Could we have been able to laugh at each other and be together as colleagues?
“…not the time to think like this.”
Lost in thought in the prison corridor, she soon came to her senses and thought about this plan again.
Egostick’s goal is to annihilate the monsters deep inside this prison.
The one who fulfills the wish, the monster he said. As for Infleth, she did a simple search. Through the association’s database.
Unlike before, she was able to read much more data because she was S-class, but…

“…”
As always, most of the data was limited and still nothing useful.
In particular, it seems that almost all records have been deleted, perhaps because it has existed for a long time.
Even within the Alternative Association, it was always questionable how Egostick knew the confidential elements among the objects, but now she was thinking of doing so. Now, I think it would be even more surprising if there was something that Egostick didn’t know.
“…”
Walking through the prison like that, she found a place where Egostick could move away from the eyes of surveillance.
With a small sigh, he involuntarily fell into thought.
okay. Come to think of it, egostick has always been like that. He always acted as if he knew everything, and always appeared quietly when he was at a loss, smiled, came up with a solution, and disappeared.
when he takes a risk.
Always, if you think about it, it was when she was in danger.
Is that why?
Is it from then?
Stardus couldn’t help but think.
Maybe I’m ego-stick…
“Here you are.”
“?!”
when she thought about it
She couldn’t help but be startled by the sudden voice of the ego-stick from behind.
“…Where did you come from? No, how did you know?”
“hahahaha. Of course, I can tell where my hero is just by intuition.”
Hearing his words with a grin as if he were saying something obvious, Stardus spoke bluntly on purpose to hide his blushing cheeks.
“…Heh. You speak well. Anyway, you’re saying we can go all the way down here?”
“Yes. Let’s go.”
“…Ha. A hero who helps the villain get out, it’s my job…”
“hahahaha. But there’s no choice but to protect the world. And sometimes it’s me, so I help…”
“Ugh… Be quiet and come quickly!”
Whispering with such a red face, she hurried forward.
…and so on down underground, down into the depths of the prison.
she knew
Soon, the time will come to break up with egostick again.
That it would take me back to the days when I would have to wait months to see him again like before.
however.
…she felt
Ego-stick is also slowly starting to become conscious of itself.
The one who always came to himself first.
But when he approached with him, he secretly started avoiding him. As soon as I was in an unavoidable situation, I slowly approached her again.
therefore.
From now on, it will be different.
With that thought in mind, she headed to the depths of the prison’s basement.
I had no idea what would happen there.
***
The depths of Carceas.
Stardus clears the way to the prison staff in the name of field investigation, while I’m hiding… after a long search like that.
Stardus and I finally got there.
“…..”
Even at a glance, unlike the upper floors, this place has an old and old feeling.
The surrounding walls, which had been white, had already become black and corroded, and in some places, there were even tree roots.
And somehow, let’s get lost in a familiar maze-like place.
A huge black door in the depths finally appeared.
“…I think I’ve seen something like this before?”
Seeing that Stardus slightly tilted his head as if feeling a sense of deja vu, I hurriedly spoke to her.
“Isn’t it just because huge doors like this are common?”
“is it…”
After skipping it like that.
Before opening the door, I warned Stardus again with a serious face.
“Mr.
“…Okay. I’ll be by your side.”
“..Well, being around can be dangerous, so I hope you’ll wait in front of the door after you come in.”
“…”
At those words, Stardus’s face turned into a disgruntled expression, but he reluctantly agreed with my sorrowful eyes.
“…then Let’s go.”
“okay.”
With those words, Stardus and I opened the huge black door.
OK.
Whiik.
An ominous, cold wind blew from there.
So, we came into the huge darkness that we can’t even see in the underground.
When the door was closed and fully entered, we could see something on the other end.
“excuse me…”
The very end of a huge underground cavity.
Among the large white tentacles attached to the wall, faintly visible.
A blurry figure that appears to be in the middle.
okay.
That guy must be one of the final bosses in Phase 3.
“…Egostick.”
“Yes. All right. I’ll go right now.”
In response to her words that seemed to be pushing me, I told her to go straight to where he was.
Before that, my wrist was grabbed by her.
Let’s do something and look back.
Her eyes, slightly quivering, filled with worry.
“No… be careful, okay?”
“…yes.”
In words so earnest and earnest.
I couldn’t even joke with the question, ‘Are heroes worried about villains?’
yes, you have to be careful
Just do it according to plan, just do it according to plan.
‘…I’m not sure if that’s being careful.’
With that thought in mind, I took out one of the earphones that was with the recorder under my coat and put it in my ear.
good. All preparations are complete.
let’s go.
With that thought in mind, I stepped into the dark hollow.
ruler. let’s make a wish
A wish he couldn’t expect.
What wish he couldn’t expect??
