23. The Time of Resurrection
“I will be the new leader of the Dragon King Sentai.”
Kang Ye-rin proudly declared.
“What kind of mess is that?”
Ji Se-hwa protested by spitting bloody saliva. He got up from his seat and wiped his mouth.
“Right now, we don’t have a focal point. There is no one worthy of him. But at this rate, we will collapse.”
“So four years will do it? under. Throw your fist first and now crawl quietly?”
“Did I win?”
Ji Se-hwa gritted her teeth.
“If you don’t use your body, you become sluggish. The same goes for Yookyung unnie and Minseo. We must become stronger to stand against the Galactic Empire. Trust me. We thought of ways to improve our individual abilities and strategies to draw on external forces.”
Kang Ye-rin bowed her head.
“Please. I know you don’t like me. But for now, please think of me as a leader and follow me… !”
silence for a while.
Shin Yu-gyeong opened her mouth first.
“I agree.”
“Shin Yu-kyung.”
Ji Se-hwa frowned.
“It is also true that Yerin was the only one who continued training as soon as the War of the Dark Kingdom ended. You can see the best strategy in the current situation. You need a focal point. Minseo?”
Choi Min-seo, who was listening to the story, nodded slowly.
Seeing this, Ji Se-hwa clicked her tongue. After scratching the back of her head, she finally agreed.
“Damn it, there is no other option. Got it, damn it. Look down, it’s an order.”
“… thank you.”
Kang Ye-rin lowered her head.
“Is there a pointy number? Prototypes of the new switches I’m investing in can be completed in a month or two. I don’t know if I can use it.”
“I have to write all the numbers I can write. I will also use the new switch, Yookyung unnie. There is a place where I am proceeding with the agreement now.”
“Where is that?”
“Sehwa, do you know about the two heroes known as the legendary duo?”
“ok? where is the unknown He is a legend of the generation 50 years ago. Number one in technology, number two in strength.”
“yes. If our strength is not enough.”
“It’s a way to reinforce your skills.”
“Then, where is the agreement?”
Kang Ye-rin nodded.
“It is the U.S. Army, an organization that has the Washington Hero Association and possesses advanced combat technology.”

Time passed quickly.
It’s only been about a month, but she’s already quite adapted to life in Vengeance.
But for her, this one month was the most alive period of her 19 years of life.
Her life was a beggar.
Escape from there, rummage through trash cans, and sleep in a dark alley.
He bands up with teenagers who have nowhere to go like himself and steals anything to survive.
Rolling here and there, after enduring for a year, he was unluckily kidnapped and put to the arena as a scapegoat.
A desperate and terrible life that only ran away.
A lifetime of not knowing what you were born for and live for.
I want to take revenge on them, but I’m not even sure if I’ll be alive tomorrow.
just the bottom.
Now it looks like a possibility.
I got strength.
There are many people who recognize their abilities. Everyone in the world knows the four letters Dark Matter.
Eruah knew very well that the beginning of the change was all due to the capricious good will of one man.
‘Believe in yourself. If you don’t believe me, give up your intellect and trust me.’
Looking back, Irua wondered if she had already been enchanted at that moment.
Acknowledge only me, not anyone else, and want this much.
With such strong words.
With such strong words.
I had a gut feeling that it wasn’t poisonous as usual.
He, Jung Eui-seok didn’t appear there because he needed Lee Lua.
I just found myself by accident while looking for children.
I still feel sorry for peeking into his memories, even if it was part of it.
But that’s how Eruah can tell.
Jung Eui-seok is such a person by nature.
No matter how much I was betrayed, no matter how much I despaired of being a hero, no matter how much justice was denied.
I unconsciously keep it.
A person who cannot erase the line.
Irua guessed that the reason why he created a villain organization and needed himself now was to defeat the Galactic Empire.
He is too.
Where in the world is there a villain organization that only attacks the wicked?
Chung Eui-seok never touches children even while carrying out the terror.
Rather, if there was a chance, he was rescued and sent to the former orphanage.
He saves himself, gives strength, and calls himself evil, but never crosses the line.
-awesome.
but at the same time.
It’s so sad.
The feelings Eui-seok had that Lee Lua tasted were terrible.
If you are yourself, you will never be able to stand it. I’m going to commit suicide right now.
Still, it doesn’t show any signs.
It hurts, it’s hard, it doesn’t make any complaints.
to anyone.
He was taken for granted, even to Emma, whom he had been loyal to for a long time.
Who can support the person who has supported everyone so far?
if no one
can’t i do it
In Eruah’s heart, such feelings slowly bloomed.
So then I was angry.
‘Irua. Don’t feel guilty about me.’
He hated being treated like a newborn baby. It didn’t even fall into that category, let alone supported it.
“… I was really fine.”
I try to bluff like that with my mouth.
It was such a life. Of course, there is no time for dating, and there is no knowledge about men.
When the real battle came, it was obvious that Eruah would be embarrassed.
What can I do to change Jung Eui-seok’s view of himself?
I consulted with Emma about such concerns.
“oh. It’s a cute worry.”
Emma smiled.
“But the master is someone who doesn’t lean on or rely on anyone. It was like that from the beginning.”
“forever? to anyone?”
“hmm… .”
Emma showed a bitter smile.
“There was only one person.”
Sounds like it’s not there now Irua gained confidence.
“Should we start by building daily trust?”
“trust? I’m Zeo’s underling and number two. Jeo doesn’t trust me?”
“As a member of the organization, you will trust me. But there are different kinds of trust.”
“Are there different types?”
“yes. The support that Lua said requires a trusting relationship like family and friends. There are no shortcuts other than building up everyday time together.”
“What would you like?”
“It’s Christmas in three days, so shall we go pick out presents together?”
“What is Christmas?”
“It is a day for exchanging gifts, eating together, and spending time with family and lovers.”
“Hey. There is such a thing. I hope Emma knows a lot.”
“It’s too much praise.”
Irua went out with Emma. Following Emma’s advice, I decided to buy a gift, wrap it nicely, and hide it well until the day.
Emma said she doesn’t buy presents. Chung Eui-seok told me not to buy such a thing because it was inefficient, and he said it was presumptuous as an employee.
and on the 24th of December.
Christmas Eve.
In the morning, all the members of the organization gathered together and Jung Eui-seok announced an announcement.
“Good morning, gentlemen. Everyone understands that tomorrow is a holiday, so everyone is in a high mood, but for the villains, everyone understands that this time is the point of terrorism.”
The organizers respond courageously.
“I have a day off today. You can use it however you like. Just refrain from overeating. From 00:00 on the 25th, Vengeance will be maintained so that it can sortie at any time. Do you understand?”
answer that follows.
“dissolution.”
The organizers disperse. Irua was a little bit different from what was planned and became impatient.
“Hey, Zeo. Isn’t Christmas a day to spend with family and lovers?”
“That’s why it’s the best day for villains to be active.”
“Were you planning a terrorist attack?”
“does not exist. Most of the subordinates rest. Just you and I go on a monster hunt. A good event begins. But I don’t know the start time, so I’m just telling you to wait.”
“I see… .”
“hmm? Didn’t you know?”
“What?”
“It is tomorrow. The 30th day from the emperor’s declaration.”
“ah.”
It was then that Irua realized.
“Scenario bonus extra experience points are falling from the sky. It is a great opportunity for stat growth.”
“That, right… .”
“There are no plans to defeat Pegasus. It stands out too much. The Galactic Empire’s aggro must be returned to the Dragon King’s War for the organization to be safe.”
“Yes. That, then.”
“hmm?”
“Jeo is resting today too, right? Then later in the evening… .”
“Today I am going to manage ‘over there’. Don’t come back at night.”
“… okay.”
Irua lowered her head.
◈ ◈ ◈
Originally, Eruah liked to sleep.
The only time I suffered from nightmares on the cold floor was in the beginning after escaping.
It was nice to be able to dream while sleeping.
Because in a dream you don’t have to be sick.
Because you don’t have to be sad.
or.
You can mistake it for saying it’s all over.
But these days, sleeping is a waste of time.
I hated the power supply of my brain that prevented me from fully experiencing life.
“Lua.”
When Eru-ah woke up hearing Jung Eui-seok’s voice, joy came first rather than annoyance at having her sleep disturbed.
It’s back to the time when you can enjoy life to the fullest.
“Yes. what time is it?”
“Soon it is midnight. Are you tired?”
“no. I’ll wash up and come back.”
Even though he speaks bluntly, Jung Eui-seok is always considerate of himself. It is invisible to other subordinates.
Is it because he thinks he is a child?
I don’t want to see it that way, but I fall into the contradiction of wanting to continue to receive consideration.
After briefly washing her face, Yiruah picked up a well-wrapped present from under her pillow. I shyly hid it behind my back and went out to the lobby of the hideout.
Members of the organization, including Chung Eui-seok, were concentrating on the central monitor.
『This is Suwon Station! sky! A giant spaceship appears in the sky! Ah, now something is—a monster, a monster!!』
Shaking screen. A reporter who starts running away. People’s screams are heard.
“These guys are sure of their time commitment. Lua, are you ready?”
“Ah, yes… .”
Irua tucked the object hidden behind her back deeper into her hair, in case the tip could be seen.
“Not exactly up the station. Deep Dive, coordinates?”
“Um… It’s one kilometer east of S University… .”
“… for a moment. Is there a lake nearby?”
“Ugh, yeah. why? Sujaang.”
Jung Eui-seok frowned.
“Damn it. A mistake.”
“Zeo, what’s going on?”
“The orphanage is nearby.”
“It’s an orphanage. Could it be that you sent the children before?”
Irua also grasped the seriousness of the situation. It is an orphanage where the children that Eruah kept in the arena and the children she rescued are sent to.
“If we go and subdue them quickly.”
“no. When all members of the organization leave, it stands out too much. There is also the possibility of a war with heroes.”
“then.”
Jung Eui-seok quickly made a decision.
“Advancing the plan.”
Irua understood the meaning.
“Zeo, are you leaving?”
“okay.”
Jung Eui-seok nodded.
“It is time to resurrect.”
