130 – Toward the final boss of the chapter.
Both the hero and the villain had their eyes wide open with a momentary silence.
“…Hangyeol.”
“…Uh.”
Hero Shield- It’s not because Hangyeol came. If only I had greeted them with hospitality, so there was no need to be flustered and say nothing like a dumb dumb person.
“Well, next to-“
However, the boy still bluntly walked forward, ignored the heroes, approached the place where the villains were gathered, laid Jihyun down on the ground, and looked at Eugene.
“Priest.”
“Yes, God.”
“Please give me treatment.”
“…Yes. Recovery.”
No matter how much time has passed and his height and atmosphere have changed slightly, he was still the boy they knew. And-
“Boss, but you don’t need a mask…? Here-“
“It doesn’t matter. Because I’ve already been caught. “Rather than that, get treatment first.”
“Treatment is over-“
“Hangyeol should do the same.”
Because the villains of Repentance called the boy ‘boss’, the heroes are now in confusion.
“It’s over. Next-“
“Wait.”
Wounds that gradually disappear. Hyunwoo stroked his bleeding head, then turned his back and approached Hangyeol.
“Go over there and get treatment. Put Yumi down too. “If you ask me to wake you up, I’ll probably wake you up right away.”
“…Okay.”
Han-gyeol nodded with his expression still stiff and moved towards Eugene, while Hyun-woo smiled bitterly as he looked behind him.
The meeting between the tragic heroine and the main character. If it were a story in a game, I don’t know if it would have been a completely pink and nice atmosphere, but-
“…I broke my bones and got injured. Recovery.”
“Thank you-“

“It’s okay to say hello. “I only did it because it was God’s request.”
This scene, filled with a completely cold chill, must be the karma I created.
I feel a little guilty, but I still shake my head and look away.
The story of the game is just the story of the game. If it had been in the past, it wouldn’t have mattered since I already realized that this is reality.
If we create a world where we can both laugh and live together, we might be able to see that scene again someday.
Besides, right now-
“…Hello. “It’s been a while, everyone.”
“You, you-!”
“How are you?”
I also have a conversation to have with these guys, so I don’t have time to look elsewhere right now.
As Hyunwoo thought so, he faced the boy and girl glaring at him.
“…Really, is it Hyunwoo?”
“So, it must be fake?”
Injun continues to shake his head as if in disbelief, then sighs and asks, and Hyunwoo nods and smiles.
“…How have you been?”
“I didn’t get along well. You know that?”
“So-“
“Hey, get out of the way.”
And then Hyun-ah pushes back In-jun, who is struggling to continue the conversation, and then walks forward with burning eyes.
“…Hey.”
“Why are you doing this, so scary?”
“Don’t play around. “Before I burn you to death right now.”
“Oh my. “It’s scary.”
“I told you not to play around.”
Even her In-jun and Han-gyeol were at a loss as to how to deal with him, but instead, she answered calmly on her own, but soon opened her mouth, trying to suppress the anger in her head.
“He left without telling us, and cut Jihyeon’s heart to pieces. “I was going to end it by beating him up and then forgiving him if he came back unharmed.”
“……”
“f*ck, you’re a villain. And it comes back as the head of villains. “Is this really true?”
Even though I tried to suppress her anger and speak calmly, I don’t know if it was due to her abilities, but blue flames flickered on her arms.
But Hyunwoo was not embarrassed and quietly closed his eyes. No, rather than being embarrassed, it would have to be said that he was relieved that a normal reaction had returned after a long time.
Of course, he left without saying anything and became a villain and even attacked the academy. Of course, he did it to protect the students, but the fact that he caused terrorism did not change much, so it did not change anything.
This is betrayal. Therefore, it is natural to be angry at a traitor. No matter how much we were friends, that’s just the past. Her actions now are much better than other people’s reactions.
“-That’s right.”
“Ha?”
“No, even if it is wrong, there is no turning back now.”
That’s why Hyunwoo was able to say what he had in mind with ease.
“You are the hero, I am the villain. “This fact does not change now.”
“…You f*cking bastard.”
“And in this situation, we are just allies, and when we are done with stopping the Dream Eaters, we will be enemies again.”
It is the enemy again. You just have to think of me like that now.
Even if the reality is a little different, even if I don’t think that way – you just have to treat me like that. Without any guilt, without any sympathy. All you have to do is think of me as an enemy and act accordingly.
Hyunwoo nailed it like that, immediately turned his back and took another step toward where his colleagues were, but-
“Jihyun.”
“……”
“What are you going to do Ji-hyeon! f*ck. And I kept running with only one eye on you, but you were gone and I was still depressed! “If you come out like that, Jihyun!”
At Hyuna’s shout coming from behind, she paused for a moment and quietly closed her eyes.
“Enemy? Don’t be a jerk. If you think like that, why do you pamper Jihyeon and carry her around like that? And the enemy is looking at us with that look on his face?!”
“Hyun, wait a minute. “You’re so excited right now-“
“Let go, damn it! Hey! Speak straight! “Because this is the last chance to say that we are still friends!”
I managed my facial expressions, but it wasn’t perfect.
I was mentally prepared, but was it still not enough?
However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get angry because you represent Jihyun like that.
After Hyunwoo opened his eyes again, he walked forward and opened his mouth.
“Jihyun is-“
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t say that.”
“What? “This crazy bastard-“
“I have to face it now anyway.”
“…Ha?”
There is no need for you to get angry on my behalf. Of course-
“Mental Protection.”
“…Huh? Mr. Eugene-“
“Please don’t call me by my name… No, it’s already too late.”
“Ah, sorry for my sin!”
Anyway, I have to face the person in charge right away, so even if I get angry, I have to hear it from Jihyun directly.
Hyeonwoo came to his senses after receiving treatment, looked at Hangyeol and Yujin in turn, looked at Yumi who was embarrassed, and then swallowed dry saliva.
“Ah, God.”
“Boss.”
“…Boss. Treatment for all three is now complete. So, that’s-“
“Wake me up.”
Now that he, Hangyeol, and Yumi have been treated, all that remains is to wake up Jihyeon.
Now is the time to face head on the worst sin he has ever created.
“…Are you okay?”
“Because it’s the first and last chance. “Wake me up.”
“I understand.”
Eunjido, Sanghundo, Yujindo. Everyone looked at him with worried eyes, but Hyunwoo calmly nodded his head and flopped down on the ground.
Jihyeon is still sleeping soundly. If she wakes up and faces him. And if she finds out he’s a villain – what will she say?
Should I get angry, cry and hit him, or pour out all my power in complete hatred?
Really, if she asks me to forgive her and come back crying and crying, will I be able to coldly refuse her words?
“-Mental Protection.”
Looking at the brilliant golden light pouring from Eugene’s hand, Hyunwoo gritted his teeth and waited for her to wake up, unable to hide his complicated feelings –
“…Huh?”
“…What is it?”
“Oh, just a moment, just a moment. Mental Protection!”
Once, twice. And one last time.
I smiled bitterly as I looked at Ji-hyeon, who did not wake up despite using the ability a total of three times.
“This can’t be happening…?”
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“No, Ash. Because I didn’t do anything wrong! “I definitely put on mental protection, but-“
“That’s enough.”
“…Yes?”
Eugene is embarrassed, and Eun-ji frowns and tells her to do the right thing. Hyunwoo, who was looking at them like that, soon shook his head and stood up again.
“It’s done. “There must be a reason why he doesn’t wake up even after this.”
Of course, I know the reason. Whether it was her knowledge of the game or the very first time she encountered her – there were only two reasons that kept her from escaping her dreams.
“Hangyeol, please take care of Jihyeon.”
“…I understand. Are you really okay?”
“Once this is over, if we defeat the Dream Eater, we will be released on our own.”
Not waking up even though he was able to come to his senses means that the Dream Eater seriously used her hand to make it impossible for Eugene to wake up with his abilities-
“…Whatever the reason. “He will wake up.”
Or, even if she recognized that it was a dream, she was simply refusing to leave the dream world.
“Let’s go. To the place where Dream Eater is.”
Hyunwoo now looks at the huge rose vine right in front of him.
To be precise, he clenched his fists, glaring at a huge tower built with tangled vines.

“Are you sure it’s okay if I don’t wake up?”
Dream Eater asked while looking at the girl’s image, and the girl’s image nodded her head.
“…Why? You saw it all too. No, what you saw wasn’t enough, so you even borrowed my body to talk to me, right?”
She was with him from beginning to end and even the moment his dream collapsed, and at the very end, she spoke to him sincerely and told him it was okay.
Why does everyone not want to go out the moment the table is set?
“…Huh. “Well, that’s enough.”
Dream Eater quietly nodded her head, then stood up.
I don’t know what the girl in front of her was thinking, but if she made that judgment, she had no reason to say anything.
“The main characters are coming, so I have to end my role as a counselor now.”
She stood up from her seat and immediately spread her hands wide, then grinned and activated her ability –
“Now it’s my turn to be put through trials as a boss monster.”
Just like that, Dream Eater, the eater of nightmares and the villain who orchestrated this whole situation, moved.
“…Hyeonwoo.”
The image of the girl that Dream Eater called a tragic heroine – Ji Hyeon-eun.
She stopped looking at herself in the small mirror she was holding and quietly closed her eyes.
