88 – Curtain Call (2)
Yumi, holding Hyunwoo’s hand, sighed and strengthened her resolve.
She assumed the author’s words were true and joined her, but she knew that a difficult task awaiting her in the future that would be incomparable to what she had already done.
That’s why she clenched her fists, saying she was going to do something crazy, but-
“-Are you crazy?!”
“Well, there’s nothing I can’t say to the new boss.”
It was only a minute after she made her promise that she broke her promise and screamed.
“The heroes outside right now… Gladius?! There are even ten top heroes?! Are you going to move through that?!”
“I know that.”
“It’s even more difficult if you know! “I haven’t even regained all my strength, and my body is completely ruined.”
Of course, it was unavoidable. Immediately after hearing Hyunwoo explain the situation, she heard him casually blurt out his future plans and if she didn’t scream, it would have been worse.
Gladius, the current No. 1 Hero, is here. He’s leading the top heroes and blocking their escape route, so you’re going to break through there fair and square? If this isn’t crazy, what is?
“If you had judged a little earlier, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“Wow…”
Of course, when Yumi mentioned that it was she who ruined her perfect escape plan, she immediately shut her mouth.
“Well, that doesn’t change the fact that we had to break through anyway.”
Hyunwoo sighed deeply and then looked back at Yumi, who was looking at him.

“Is there any good number?”
“…Are you asking me that?”
“No, I just thought they might have created an escape route in case the brainwashing was successful the first time.”
“If it had succeeded, the leader – no, the former leader would have teleported me right away. “Don’t they have spatial abilities?”
“It can’t be… no.”
If there was, we would have moved safely whenever we were in danger in the past. Hyunwoo clicked his tongue and denied it, but then smiled bitterly and added his regret.
“…Even if it exists, it cannot be used.”
“What is it? That is.”
“There is such a thing.”
At that moment, the existence of a hidden card that could do a similar thing came to mind, but I couldn’t use it because there was too much risk to ask him right now.
-The heroes have now made contact.
“Damn. “Is there no choice but to fight?”
Hyunwoo gave up the thought of asking for help and clicked his tongue as he listened to the man’s voice.
“…Where are you going?”
“Where are you going? I told you earlier, right? “We have to break through.”
“Without a plan and recklessly?!”
“Then what are you going to do? Is there anything you can do? “The moment they are caught, we have no future in the first place.”
It was something I had to do anyway. Even if it is tantamount to suicide, you should try it.
“Let’s just rush in and see. “Because that’s our style.”
“Ha. “How did I end up with people like this?”
So Hyunwoo immediately tried to head outside, and Yumi followed him in desperation, but-
“…Yumi.”
“Huh?”
Numerous villains blocked their path.
“How-“
“I just came to my senses. Well, I thought he was still young even though he was part of the golden generation, but I never dreamed he would be that strong.”
For a moment, Hyunwoo was about to draw his sword, but he stopped his action when he saw their expressions.
“Have you finally decided?”
“…Okay.”
The villains are smiling while looking at Yumi. The look of determination in their eyes-
“…It’s okay to blame.”
“That can’t be right. “Anyway, the person who saved us was none other than Yumi.”
“…I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize. Rather-“
Now that the villains had opened their mouths while looking at you, you realized what choice they had made.
“Villain Guardian… No, Guardian.”
“…I have no power to save you. “I’m already trying to remove the bomb attached to Silence’s heart-“
“It doesn’t matter. After all, your life has been saved once. “If you use it for Yumi, it’s not a bad idea.”
I have already used the firefly I received from Zero. Therefore, Hyunwoo opened his mouth to show that it was slowly burning and losing its shine, but they shook their heads and laughed bitterly.
“Use us.”
“You guys-“
“Of course it won’t be of much help, but I will still give my best.”
The last performance as a villain of the Evil Brigade. When it is over, they are now dead when that light goes out completely. That’s why they decided to sacrifice their lives to save Yumi.
“Then, let’s go.”
“You-“
“I told you to call me boss. Anyway, the ending for those guys was decided anyway. Or are you just going to give up on their resolve?”
“……”
Yumi looked at them with her complicated eyes, but there was no time for that now. Therefore, Hyunwoo immediately walked out of the concert hall, and Yumi, who was looking at him and the other villains in turn, closed her eyes tightly and moved after him.
The moment they came out of the ruined concert hall-
“Cough.”
“What? “Why are you suddenly bleeding-“
The sight they saw was the villain Prison, surrounded by three heroes and spitting out blood.
“-Jinhyung!”
“Yumi… And the villains. No way!”
“That’s right. “There he was…”
Hyeonwoo looked at Yumi and the other villains who ran away with a sad look on their faces, and at the three familiar heroes who were glaring at them and taking a fighting stance, then quickly put a mask on his face and sighed.
“And that is- Guardian?!”
“Why are those guys together?! Obviously, the Evil Brigade and Repentance are enemies…!”
Hero Handsome, and Injun and Yena? It’s a bit complicated situation, but-
“-Silence.”
“…Yes.”
“You know better what to do, right?”
You don’t have to defeat them and move on, you just have to go through them. Hyunwoo quietly called Yumi, and she just gritted her teeth and looked at Prison.
“Cough. Yumi-“
“…Jinhyung.”
“I am finished. Cough. “The bomb-“
“You don’t have to say more.”
He was not near Hyunwoo and could not prevent his body from exploding. When she realized that fact, she smiled bitterly and touched him-
“…Please use me.”
“……”
“Anyway… Cough. “I am finished.”
Because her level was quite high, he was barely able to breathe, and then he smiled and bowed his head to her.
“Thank you so much.”
“…I’m sorry. No-“
Prisoners who are as good as dead, and tentacles and vines that seem to tie them up right now.
The first villain she hired, and as her deputy branch manager – Prison, who worked as her limb for a long time. Yumi bowed her head towards him and then quietly opened her mouth,
“-Thank you.”
Chaaa!
At the same time as her last greeting, whip-like attacks poured out towards them –
“Soldiers. Move forward-”
The moment when a rushing attack is about to hit them.
“Step to the beat of the drum-”
“Krrr-“
With a monster-like groan, Prison’s body turned red.
“Advance towards the enemy.”
“Krrr-!”
Quaaa!
The melody of courage. Instead of greatly strengthening the power of those she controls – or those who believe in her – it is her worst technique and a self-destruction device that causes her unconditional death after 10 minutes.
Kugugugu Palace-
Prison wriggled as if responding to her singing and kicked the ground. At the same time, numerous walls rose up and separated them from the heroes.
“What is this?!”
“What is this-“
Injun, who was looking at them, was embarrassed, and Yena froze, but-
“Strengthening. And is it isolation! Run away! “I have to chase after you-“
Are top heroes different? Handsome immediately came to her senses and opened her eyes to use her powers, and then the villains running along the wall began to stumble and grab their heads.
Cow!
“…Buy time.”
“You?!”
At least one of these people is needed to open the way for them to escape. Hyunwoo knew that fact well. But if you get stuck here, you won’t have enough time. Therefore, the number he chose was-
Sigh, shoo!
“-Villain Guardian!”
“Nice to meet you, heroes.”
Buying time, even if just for a moment. Hyun-woo cut down the tentacles that were trying to attack while penetrating the wall, and tore down the trees rising from under his feet as he ran towards Handsome. Yumi, realizing his intentions, opened her eyes wide, but then bit her lip. I opened my mouth and let out a voice.
“aaa-!”
“Tsk… Teacher-!”
Sound waves being emitted. It explodes in an instant, the wall collapses, and the fragments swept away by the sound waves get caught up and rain down on the heroes.
Injun and Yena, who blocked it, were left with a gap due to the sudden attack, and Hyunwoo, who rushed at Handsome, swung his sword –
Kaaang!
“…You bastard.”
“Blocking it might not be a good choice.”
Handsome, who had already blocked the attack with the baton he had drawn, froze when he heard Hyunwoo’s mocking words.
Chaaa!
“Tsk-“
A pole that splits in half. Hyunwoo threw a kick at Handsome, who lost his balance, and Handsome leaned back to avoid his attack.
So you’re saying it’s not that easy to get fooled? Well, I guess he didn’t earn his status as a top hero through form. Above all, he was one of the people Hyunwoo truly respected, a teacher who never gave up on him until the end.
But, to him, it didn’t really matter.
“-Hero Shield.”
“…What?”
“Hangyeol…?”
“Right now, I’m lying down inside the concert hall. “I’m probably fainting – if the concert hall collapses, I’ll die.”
“This bastard-!”
A lie mixed with the truth spoken in a distorted voice. The concert hall, which has already become stable thanks to Hangyeol, will not collapse, but that is something that those outside cannot know.
The information that Hangyeol was fainting alone in the concert hall, which was gradually falling apart due to numerous fights, was enough to cloud their judgment –
“Is now the time to care about us? Hero.”
“K-Get away from me!”
Hyunwoo, seeing the expression on Handsome’s face as he pushed Hyunwoo away in an instant, laughed and used the rebound to increase the distance.

“You have to make good judgments. Is not it?”
Hyeonwoo uttered one last word and ran after the villains who ran ahead of him.
“…Teacher.”
“Stop the chase… Let’s secure Hangyeol first. sh*t!”
Handsome couldn’t control his anger and was unable to chase them in the end.
“I went and came back.”
“…You’re really good at lying.”
“Did you hear that? Rather, don’t be sarcastic.”
“Is this a compliment? This is a necessary virtue for a villain. Well, what you said to me wasn’t a lie, right?”
“I swear on my parents’ honor that that much is real.”
Of course, I was an orphan both in this world and on Earth, but it doesn’t really matter because it’s the truth.
Hyunwoo, who caught up with the villains, answered Yumi by shrugging her shoulders, and Yumi nodded her head with an uncomfortable expression and ran in front of her without saying much in response.
So they kept running and arrived at the parking lot-
“Boss!”
“Sorry, I was a bit late, right?”
He succeeded in protecting his colleagues, including Eun-ji, who ran towards him.
