perplexity.
When I first met Stardus, I felt embarrassed.
No, why is she here?
You didn’t come here in the original!

But it’s impossible to say such a thing.
So, we were looking at each other strangely without opening our mouths.
…No, did you know that we would suddenly meet like this in this deep underground a few hundred meters from the ground?
Stardus, who had the same bewildered expression as me, captured it in an instant and returned with a cold expression.
She asks me coldly.
“…you. Why are you here?”
That’s what I want to ask.
“…No, Stardus. Why are you here?”
“I am a hero. Of course, there are monsters and dangerous substances that threaten citizens here, so I must come and deal with it of course.”
She responds as if asking a normal question.
Yes, that’s right. That’s correct….

Because you weren’t here before!
I kept my mouth shut and screamed silently.
She suddenly giggled and started clenching her hands.
“And… it turned out well. It’s an unexpected harvest.”
Wow, I think it’s the first time I’ve seen Stardus laugh in this world.
The figure smiling with her fists clenched is truly a goddess.
It would have been great if that smile wasn’t just for the thought of catching me.
“If you are caught gently, it won’t hurt much.”
As soon as she said that she ran towards me.
Yes, teleportation.
I teleported behind her as she ran towards me.

But, as expected, she turned her head and swung her arms behind her.
I had no choice but to move further back.
“Wait a minute!!”
“Wait, what minute!”
Despite my desperate cry, she continued to fly towards me with her blonde hair fluttering.
What the hell are you doing in this narrow hallway!
“Wait, let’s time, time!”
As I continued to teleport and get out of her horse, she finally gave up holding on to me and clenched her fists.
Hey, crazy! If I get one punch from you, I’ll die instantly!
“Hey Ms. Stardus! Calm down a bit!”
Then, as if she couldn’t hear me, she flew towards me and punched me.
Fortunately, I managed to escape through teleportation, but the wall that I pity for me hit her fist instead.
Koo-.
She must have hit him with her strength control so he wouldn’t die, but when she hit the wall, the wall shook with a roaring sound.
As a result, the ceiling shook, dust flew away, the lights flickered, and there was a lot of commotion.
“Are you going to break everything here? Calm down a little and listen to me!”
Underground still shaking.
After breaking the hallway in half, Stardus calmed down.
“…what are you talking about?”
Oh, you want to hear what I have to say.
Fixing her sky blue eyes on me, she put one arm on her waist as if she was not going to attack for a while.
Now, let’s get our mouths out here.
Or it looks like I’m being dragged…!!
“First of all, I have no intention of fighting. Didn’t we come in without knowing how to meet each other in the first place? How about doing what each of us was doing?”
“…Look at me, you want me to let you, the villain, roam freely here in this first-class security facility?”
Well, I don’t think this is it.
“No, I didn’t come here to do anything anyway. The Haneun group were just getting upset, I was just trying to broadcast.”
I said so and showed the camera.
“…Did you broadcast here?’
Her expression is getting worse.
Does that mean this was a miss too?
It seems the Stardus are clenching their fists again and preparing to attack me, so I hurriedly opened my mouth.
“Wait! How about making a temporary alliance?”
“Temporary alliance?’
Despite her eyes looking at me as if she was talking about some kind of gnashing noise, I steadfastly opened my mouth.
“Stardus, don’t you know how dangerous this place is anyway? After all, why not make an alliance and go together until you reach the deepest place? Actually, even if you’re trying to catch me anyway, I’ll just teleport and just run away. Rather, it is a relationship that we met like this, yes? Together, we go together. I am curious about what is underneath here.”
Well, I think it’s bullshit itself.
At any moment, she said, ‘You want me to be a hero and form an alliance with a villain?’ There is nothing strange about the situation she ran into and angry.
Hey, what do I really do now? would you just run away? My behemoth, my power-up, hello…
When I had already made a decision in my mind, she frowned for a moment and then suddenly released her expression.
Then she replied:
“…Yeah, okay. Let’s go together until we get down here.”
“Yeah?”
“…why are you surprised when you tell me?”
When I panicked, she smiled slightly and turned her head.
“Follow me. Still, it was difficult for me to deal with it alone, so maybe you could help me.”
“Yes? Oh, yes. Good.”
Seeing her taking the lead down there again, I had no choice but to follow her blankly as if possessed.
No… What?
I thought it was nonsense even if I spit it out, but seeing her willingly accept it, I couldn’t help but be confused.
what? What are you up to? The Stardus I know isn’t like that, is she?
Of course, I thought she would run away saying that there was no compromise with the villain, but when she suddenly answered like that, I had no choice but to be embarrassed.
So, she and I walked down this basement together.
…what the hell is this?
***
Stardus.
As soon as she came down to the basement, she met countless monsters.
They looked terrible as if they had melted, and they all had one thing in common: they were all white.
It all disappeared into powder with one blow of her fist, but it made her nervous that each one had some kind of superpower.
And that feeling got stronger as I entered the lab.
The terrible records they studied.
The subjects that would have been locked in by the glass wall had already escaped for a long time, and only their records remained.

“It’s terrible…”
Monsters that would have been born through inhuman experiments.
She trembled slightly at the thought that if the accident had not been identified, they would have continued to conduct biological experiments in the middle of Seoul.
If that accident hadn’t happened.
And if the Egostick hadn’t broken the bridge.
It was clear that something terrible had happened.
“…..”
So, she kept walking forward, slowly and slowly destroying the monsters she could see.
When we went down deep underground, communication was cut off, and the lights flickered, creating an ominous atmosphere.
There are countless crossroads that are tangled like a maze.
However, she was relentless.
It was because her intuition, which developed over time, led her to go this way.
So, in front of where her senses led her.
“Ahh!!!”
As she jumped out, there was an Egostick wielding a sword in surprise.
yes.
To be honest, she was very upset too.
Who knew Egostick would be here?

But she quickly regained her composure.
Yeah, I don’t know what it is, but this is an opportunity.
I don’t know why you’re here, but let’s grab it and think about it.
So she ran to him.
“Wait a minute!!!”
“Wait, what minute!!!”
That’s how she ran to catch him, but he still ran away by teleportation.
Eventually she hit a wall and nearly knocked down this basement, before she stopped and listened to what he had to say.
His words that he came here for the broadcast.
“Temporary alliance?”
His proposal to form an alliance and descend together only to the end of this underground.
Hearing that, she smirked inwardly. What the hell is she saying, why should she make an alliance with a villain?
After refusing to do so, she was about to attack him again.
In an instant, that thought crossed her mind.
‘Wait a minute, that bastard can run away with his powers anyway, right?’
Yes.
It was a fact that had been overlooked before because he simply teleported briefly, but in the first place, if he wants to, he can run away from this underground in an instant. In the first place, didn’t he disappear right in front of your eyes after each terrorist attack?
…. that shouldn’t be
Will there be another chance to meet alone in a place like this where there is no one else?
No, probably not.
Due to his personality, the next time we meet, he will be in front of a camera that will be broadcasted to the entire nation. On the stage he set up.
The moment I can be with him without being swayed by him, maybe now is the only chance.
‘…Anyway, if I refuse here, I can’t catch him as he is, and he’ll just run away without finding out anything.’
If so, I’d rather
Wouldn’t it be nice to know a little more about him if we left it next to him?
It may be an opportunity to solve the questions you have about the Egostick so far…
And if you stick next to him, you’ll know exactly why he came down here.
Plus, in the first place, that guy has never shown any sign of harming me until now… If he doesn’t run away in the first place and fights one-on-one, it’s my victory. That said, there is little risk.
‘Yeah, this is just to get information before that, if you’re going to miss it anyway.’
Making excuses she didn’t know who she was doing that to him, she said to him.
“..Yeah, okay. Let’s go together until we get down here.”
“Yeah?”
He was surprised when he made a proposal first, and then she accepted it.
…that’s funny, I guess he just threw it away, expecting me not to accept it.
Come to think of it, I think it’s the first time I’ve seen him panic. Until now, she has always been caught up in his pace.
“…why are you surprised when you tell me?”
For some reason, she felt happy, and she smiled involuntarily.
Yeah, I didn’t expect to get him today.
Instead, here.
It might be an opportunity to clear up the questions she’s always felt about Egostick…
***
Stardus accepted the temporary alliance proposal, and we entered the labyrinth together.
…what the hell are you thinking? I still don’t understand.
So I did not lower my alertness and followed her.
Is she not worried that the hero will get stabbed in the head by the villain, and I’m worried that the villain will be stabbed in the head by the hero, is this correct?
Going so deep inside, nothing really happened between us.
Occasionally approaching subjects were handled by her with one punch, so it wasn’t scary at all. When I was alone, it scared the crap out of me.
When I joke around sometimes, she just chews and stuff like that.
Of course, sometimes she contained the laugh and laughed, then she quickly captured his expression and looked at me saying, “Be quiet.” It was kind of cute. I know all your humor codes.
Perhaps the end was drawing near, and countless laboratories began to appear.
She flipped through the papers with a serious expression.
what did I do?
She told me where the villain was trying to see the secret, so I couldn’t see it, so I just looked at her.
Well, to be able to see Choi Ae up close for so long, maybe this is some kind of reward?
The sight of Stardus rummaging through the laboratory with his blonde hair hanging down and wearing a tight-fitting red hero suit was a sight to behold.
good, good
Did you just find out something like that?
We headed back inside. No, why doesn’t it end here? Not some kind of ant den.
What was more interesting was the Stardus, who moved swiftly as if they knew where they were going.
Did she come here to research the terrain in advance?
…I don’t think her super senses have already been developed.
Anyway, I really felt like I had come to the end this time. Because I felt the wind blowing from somewhere.
…but how does the wind blow in the basement?
As we continued to walk, we encountered the [Top Secret Area].
And next to it, there was a passage painted red.
“…what do we do here?”
To her question, I just shrugged and answered.
“Let’s go inside.”
“Hmm…”
After much deliberation, she decided to go inside.
So we went inside together.
As I walked down the aisle, I found a small room.
“The room of suppression of paranormal ability…?”
She muttered as she looked at the notice posted in front of the room.
Suppression of portrait ability? Are you saying that if you enter this room, your abilities won’t be activated?
No, did the Haneun Group have this kind of technology?
This is a really serious technique…
As I was looking at her with such a serious expression, Stardus in front of me turned to me, shook her head and opened his mouth.
“…Egostick, you go in first.”
“…Me? Why me?”
When I said that, she quietly raised her fist.
…yes, yes. i go in
“Yes, yes. I see.”
So I went into a small two-pyeong room. (6.61 m2)
A closed room covered in white on all sides. Except for a clock or something, there is nothing neatly there.
So, you’re saying you can’t use real abilities here?
As a demonstration, I used telekinetic power at the bag I was carrying.
“Hmm?”
Oh no, really.
So what about teleportation?
I tried to concentrate, but again, nothing happened.
this is weird
“What about it. Abilities really can’t be used?”
“Yes. That’s right. What’s the principle?”
About the time I looked around, she came in as if she was going to test herself.
“…really not.”
So while she was testing her abilities, I was looking at one side of the room.
If I use this well, it will be really great. What is the principle…
As I was doing my sensible research while looking at the wall, suddenly there was a bang from behind and the room shook. what?
When I turned around in amazement, I saw the figure of Stardus who had punched the wall with her fists.
No matter how much her abilities were suppressed, the wall was hollowed out in the shape of a fist, probably because of her strong base power.
When I looked at her with a bewildered expression, I could see her avoiding my eyes as if she was shy.
“No, just to see if everything is really being suppressed…”
“No… Anyway, what if you hit the wall so ignorantly?”
If something went wrong, I could have been drowned in this place and almost died!
Just as we were about to argue, suddenly an alarm sounded in front of the door we had come in.
The entrance to the open room was blocked by the shield that came down from the plaster.
thud-.
“What, what?”
She was bewildered by the sudden situation.
Of course, she wasn’t the only one confused. I’m crazy too What happened all of a sudden?
A barrier made of cement suddenly came down, and the space leading to the hallway was suddenly blocked.
“…..”
Huh…
So now the status.
Suddenly, in this secret room deep underground
The two of you, Stardus, got along and were locked up in a state where they lost each other’s abilities, right?
“…..”
“…..”
In such a small room, only silence flowed.
Well.
f*ck you.
