073
When I returned, the atmosphere of Gokham City was completely different from before.
It was a lively city with frequent traffic before, but now it is a quiet ghost town.
There were no cars honking loudly and there were not even citizens walking on the road.
The city was dead quiet, as if an apocalypse had arrived.
“Hey, how on earth did this happen?”
“There is no one walking around.”
“I can feel the presence of people inside the buildings around me.”
“What? So you’re saying that everyone stays inside the building and doesn’t go outside? “In broad daylight like this?”
Even if it was a day off, there were people who played outside, so it was ridiculous for no one to be out and about.
Still, the streets and roads were strangely empty of people.
I intuitively realized that something abnormal had occurred.
“Master, I felt a huge shock wave 20km northwest of here.”
“How did you know it was 20km?”
“It would be difficult if you underestimate my detection ability.”
“I’m sorry, I never meant to ignore you, I was just amazed at your abilities.”
“It’s disgraceful. “You subtly added a compliment so that I couldn’t respond at all!”
Finesse puffed out her cheeks to show that she was pouting, but the effect was minimal.
If you were planning to appeal that you were upset, you should have kept your wings firmly fixed.
Looking at her flapping her wings, I could tell at a glance that she was happy on the inside.
“Anyway, we just have to go northwest, right?”
“Yes. “I’m sure.”
It is not unusual for citizens to take refuge in their homes even though the source of the problem is 20 kilometers away.
“After a quick check, it seems that the Hero Association has issued an evacuation order for all citizens of Gokham City.”
“Evacuation order?”
“You can think of it as an alert issued in the event of a natural disaster or invasion by other powers.”
“Isn’t it normal to gather at a shelter rather than at home?”
“Gokham City prioritizes the safety of its citizens, so all buildings within the city are designed to be strong and resistant to collapse. “If you go outside to evacuate or force people into a tight space, it becomes dangerous, so we recommend that you wait safely in your own residence.”
“I see.”
As it is a city of heroes who value its citizens, there is no way that the safety of its citizens was not taken into consideration.
If it were a place that didn’t care about the safety of its citizens, people would have tried to get out and run away instead of staying inside.
“So what led to the evacuation order?”
‘That… ….”
If an evacuation order has been issued, it is natural to know the cause.
A president of the association looking at a mobile phone terminal would have probably checked information about the cause.
Nevertheless, she was showing signs that she was having a hard time speaking.
Just by looking at it, I could understand the general situation.
“I guess the heroes have finally started fighting among themselves?”

“…… “Did you know?”
“Even villains need to know information about heroes in advance. We all knew that the relationship between Bright Hero and Dark Hero was not good. Even if it’s not just me, I’m sure other citizens would know, right?”
“As you said, from the moment I took office as president of the association, distrust arose between the two heroes and clashes became frequent. At first, a fight broke out over the treatment and severity of punishment for the villain. Bright heroes suggested that villains should be given room for rehabilitation, while dark heroes argued that parts of their bodies should be cut out so that they can never commit evil deeds again.”
“What is the result?”
“The Hero Association could not accept either side’s opinions. “If you side with one side, the association’s relationship with the heroes will become strained.”
Because it was an association that could only operate if it remained neutral, they had no choice but to choose a position of watching.
Even though he knew that the discord was getting worse because of that, he had no way to deal with it.
They say they can somehow stop the fight, but they are unable to come up with an important solution.
As the period continued, hatred built up beyond control, and eventually a war between heroes began.
“What should I have done?”
“You shouldn’t ask that of me, the villain.”
“I see….”
I also became a common enemy and declared myself a villain in order to unite the two heroes.
However, he was arrested before he could properly act, so there was no need to call himself a villain now.
Still, since it is a concept that has been decided at first, it would be better to maintain it until the end.
“Let’s stop the fight first, listen to the opinions of each side, and come up with a compromise that we can both agree with.”
“If that were possible, the situation wouldn’t have gotten this bad. No matter how hard I appealed, the two heroes wouldn’t listen to me. Even though he holds the title of president of the association, he has poor dueling skills.”
“The more I do that, the more I should have raised my voice. “Once you look down on someone, they will look down on you to no end.”
“… ….”
You probably don’t understand me right now.
But since he is a very intelligent person, the day will come when he will realize it soon.
Until then, my job is to prevent the current situation.
“I’ll get off here.”
“Yes? “Is there still a long way to arrive?”
“If I don’t go quickly, I don’t know how the situation will progress, and I plan to solve it my way.”
“…… All right. Instead, everyone is our precious heroes. “It’s okay to use a hand-held sword, but please make sure it doesn’t endanger your life.”
“Don’t worry, I have no intention of killing you. Let’s go Finesse.”
“Yes!”
Finesse embraces my body.
It leaped with its wings spread and flew up into the sky.
I quickly rose to an altitude equivalent to that of a high-rise building, and with a frown, I turned my head in the direction that Finesse had mentioned.
In addition to shock waves, there are fires that engulf buildings, lightning that strikes repeatedly, and ice spikes that rise up. All kinds of attacks were rampant around.
It seemed impossible to avoid committing suicide if one carelessly stepped into that place.
The body begins to tremble violently. As an ordinary person, it was something that was extremely scary.
If you make a mistake, you may die by being burned by fire, struck by lightning, or accidentally killed by ice.
Nevertheless, in order to stop the fight, I had to rush in without hesitation.
“It’s okay, Master, I will definitely protect you.”
“Ah… ….”
Finesse noticed my trembling and hugged my body even more tightly.
There was a strong will in her eyes as she looked at me.
I couldn’t help but smile at his strong determination not to cause me any harm.
There was no need to be scared from the beginning, but I found myself shaking and it felt funny.
“I will trust you.”
“Just leave it to me!”
Finess falls from the wide sky and lands lightly in the middle of a chaotic square.
He carefully lowered me to the ground and immediately stood firmly behind me.
The heroes’ attention was focused on us who suddenly invaded.
The simultaneous appearance of the great senior of the heroes and the popular villain must be such a rare sight.
“Hmm… !”
He lightly touched his neck and cleared his voice.
It felt burdensome to have more eyes than at the awards ceremony, but I shook off the tension and looked ahead.
Numerous heroes are paying attention to my actions.
I took out the card to them and shouted confidently.
“Come on, you bastards who are combined one-tools.”

“That’s ridiculous… !!”
Rudger, who was watching the battlefield of heroes, could not believe his eyes at the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Han Se-yoon appeared in the middle of the battlefield where a bloody battle was taking place and cast a wide-area provocation.
All the heroes were very angry and rushed at him, resulting in an unprecedented one-on-many duel.
It was expected that Han Se-yoon would be at a great disadvantage as he was fighting alone against a large number of people.
Every time he passes a turn, his opponent starts with 5 cards in his hand.
When the absurd duel began, Han Se-yoon, who went first, immediately summoned his ace monster, Finesse, and passed the turn.
Many heroes laughed at him at this incredibly trivial development, but their laughter did not last long.
Han Se-yoon activated the Trap Card of Conversion against the heroes who attempted to merge.
[Sectors prohibited from combining]
Persistent Trap
After this card is activated, neither player can perform a Union Summon.
The heroes who were unable to combine, which is the core of the hero theme, faced difficulties in dueling.
Everything was done to destroy the trap card, but Han Se-yoon showed viciousness by using a continuous magic card that grants immunity to target effects in ‘sectors prohibited from combining’.
Ace monsters, traps, and even monster cards that grant immunity to trap cards.
The heroes were losing their duels with Han Se-yoon one after another without any response.
No matter how many cards you start with, they are of no value to heroes who cannot be combined.
‘What is this guy that suddenly appears and interferes with my plans!’
Rudger gritted his teeth and glared at Han Se-yoon.
At that moment, there was someone in the square who turned his gaze towards the rooftop where he was.
Finesse, sensing Ludger’s intent, turned to Ludger’s direction.
The two people’s eyes crossed. Finesse, who found his prey, laughed until his mouth was torn apart.
“Mi, crazy!”
It was Ludger who looked like he was going to kill me but then ended up looking like he was going to die.
