The Tough Guy Hides the Villainess

027 – Heroes Obsessed with Villains #2

I was quick-witted and particularly good at understanding people. Here are three things I figured out about Yoo Yeoreum.

First, Yoo Yeoreum is a health beauty who loves exercise.

You’d have to see her body without clothes to know for sure, but her muscles are probably more solid than most guys’.

Second, the strawberry scent emanating from Yoo Yeoreum was probably from a deodorant-type cosmetic. Does she dislike the smell of her own sweat?

Super high school girl’s sweat, it might actually be quite popular.

Third, before Yoo Yeoreum shoots beams from her eyes, they flash with a bright light.

Ziiing-.

Just like now.

“Wasn’t this your house? Why did you come out from the next door?”

Yoo Yeoreum was curious about why I came out from the next door.

Well, sometimes people come out from the next door where no one lives. Right?

Let’s just make something up for now.

“This house is empty. Sometimes I come here for my hobbies. It’s like a man cave. Have you heard of a man cave? A man’s space.”

“A man’s space.”

“Yeah, so could you turn off those shining eyes now?”

“What kind of hobby do you do alone in that empty house?”

What? She’s asking that too?

Yoo Yeoreum was the first girl in my life to ask me so many questions.

Is she a question mark killer or what?

━Ah, ouch, ah, ah!

Then I heard a strange sound from somewhere. It would be right to describe it as a bizarre moan.

It was the sound Seo Ga-eul made in the basement of the next house.

Damn! Why on earth!

“There’s a strange sound.”

It seemed that Yoo Yeo-reum, the top of Elite Class F, had senses that were far superior to those of ordinary people. Perhaps Seo Ga-eul had aimed for this.

What if Yoo Yeo-reum went into the next house and opened the basement? And what would happen if I discovered Seo Ga-eul chained up?

The heat would surely pierce my belly, turning me into a donut.

“I think there’s something in the next house. A woman’s voice?”

Peeking-.

Yoo Yeo-reum began to take an interest in the next house. A drop of cold sweat trickled down from my back to the crack of my butt.

It was truly a life-or-death crisis.

Maybe Seo Ga-eul had intended this.

Perhaps she had made that moaning sound because she wished for me to suffer in this moment. It was better than screaming for help, but it was still an act filled with clear malice.

But Seo Ga-eul had underestimated me.

Did she think I would fall for this?

“Actually, I was watching adult videos. The next house is where I watch them. I thought I had turned it off, but it seems the sound was still on. Since it’s come to this, do you want to go in and watch together?”

“Ah… I don’t think we need to watch together.”

I see.

Creak-. I thought it would be best to leave this place before Seo Ga-eul did something weirder, so I grabbed Yoo Yeo-reum’s hand and pulled her.

“Then let’s just walk around nearby for a bit.”

I was surprised by how soft her hand was.

I had expected it to be called.

Yoo Yeo-reum and I headed to a park near my house.

Calling it a park was generous; it was a place filled with trash, where flies and mosquitoes buzzed around, but it was just right for killing some time.

“So, you said you had something to apologize to me for earlier?”

“I punched your chest. I was a bit clumsy with my strength, so it wouldn’t have been strange if you got hurt badly.”

“Oh, that? I’m fine. Look.”

Swish-. I lifted my outerwear to show Yoo Yeo-reum my chest. Under the streetlight illuminating the park, seeing the bare upper body of a man, Yoo Yeo-reum seemed somewhat flustered, hesitating before breaking into a smile.

“You’re sturdier than I thought. Next time, I can hit you with a bit more ‘sincerity.’”

It was the first time I had seen Yoo Yeo-reum smile.

She usually had a cold expression. Of course, that coldness was different from the rude demeanor of Seo Ga-eul.

I remembered Yoo Yeo-reum as being somewhat blunt, with a vague emotional expression and little change in her demeanor.

Anyway, the laughter of a high school girl was something that stirred a man’s heart like a cool breeze.

Even though she was a high school girl who shot lasers from her eyes and had a body as hard as steel, a girl is still a girl.

My mind, which had been dazed by Seo Ga-eul’s “moaning sound” attack, felt healed by Yoo Yeoreum’s laughter.

From noble mtl dot com

Does Yoo Yeoreum unexpectedly have a talent for healing?

“Yeoreum, you have a pretty smile. It would be nice if you smiled more often.”

“……”

Yoo Yeoreum flinched as if slightly surprised by my words. Then she touched her lips with her hand, perhaps feeling embarrassed by my compliment.

“Did I smile?”

No, she was surprised by the fact that she had smiled, not by my compliment. Just as I was wondering if it was such a surprising fact that she had smiled, Yoo Yeoreum got up from the park bench.

“You really came first in this practice. I want to say I won’t go easy on you next time─but you won’t see me in the next practice. I’m going into actual combat now.”

“Actual combat? Like exploring the ‘Great Labyrinth’ and bringing back treasures?”

“No, I’m on the ground side. Have you heard of unauthorized awakeners? Those who are not registered with ‘Yeongsa High’ or the ‘Superhuman Management Agency.’ Those guys are mostly criminals.”

The difference in physical abilities between awakeners and ordinary people was as great as that between high school students and elementary school students. Because of that, some awakeners used their extraordinary physical abilities for bad purposes.

“The reason I came to this neighborhood is because I heard that the ‘Villainers’ gang is active somewhere around here. There are a lot of empty houses in this area.”

There are many empty houses in our neighborhood. I’ve heard that homeless people and criminals often do various things in those empty houses.

I didn’t know what those ‘Villainers’ were up to, but I was sure they weren’t good guys.

What if they break into the ‘next door’ where Seo Ga-eul is hiding?

It was sure to cause trouble.

“What kind of guys are those ‘Villainers’?”

“They’re an illegal group formed by some graduates of the first class of Yeongsa High. The reason our school stopped teaching ‘hand-to-hand combat’ as a basic course is because of them.”

Yeongsa High is a school for superhumans. It was strange that they only taught ‘sparring’ in ‘special classes’ that cost 400,000 points, but it seemed there was a reason for it.

Maybe it was because they had instilled various combat knowledge into the first class of Yeongsa High students, who lacked laws and systems for awakeners, and ended up creating uncontrollable monsters.

“Han Nam-jin, since you live in this neighborhood, you should be careful too. Most of the Villainers are third-grade awakeners with firepower equivalent to a company. You’ve heard of ‘Yeomra,’ who caused the N-Mart fire, right?”

“Of course. He’s the guy who melts steel with flames. He still hasn’t been caught. I don’t think he ever will be.”

‘Yeomra.’ The b*stard who caused my parents’ death. That son of a b*tch.

As I vowed to personally turn him into a eunuch, Yoo Yeoreum clenched her fist tightly.

“Those guys are hiding all over the world, trying to destroy order and peace. There’s also the ‘Judge,’ who shakes the judicial system to its roots. They’re no different from monsters.”

Ziiing-. Yoo Yeoreum’s eyes shine. I couldn’t agree or disagree with the statement that awakeners who crossed the line were no different from monsters.

I was just a little worried about Yoo Yeoreum.

No matter how great an awakener she was, Yoo Yeoreum was still just a high school girl.

“Summer, be careful when fighting with criminals.”

“I’ve never seen someone worry about me before. It’s fine. I’m invincible. And I’m not going to take down the criminals alone. I’ll be deployed with Seo Ga-eul, so it shouldn’t be dangerous.”

No, wait—.

That Seo Ga-eul is in our basement… .

# # #

“I clearly told you to be back in ten minutes, didn’t I? It would have been faster to make them yourself than to buy stockings.”

When I returned to the basement, Seo Ga-eul seemed really angry. I had something to say too.

“Hey, it was your weird comment that almost made things go sideways!”

“Weird comment? I don’t know what you’re talking about. By the way, wasn’t it Yoo Yeoreum outside? “That b*tch.”

「Name: Seo Ga-eul

Status: 《Disgust and Aversion》 – Being rescued by Yoo Yeoreum is worse than being kidnapped by a pervert.」

It seemed that Seo Ga-eul didn’t scream for help because she hated Yoo Yeoreum so much. I guess that was fortunate for me.

“Here, I brought the stockings.”

Swish-.

I laid out the stockings I had picked up from the convenience store in front of Seo Ga-eul.

For a bunch of flimsy nylon, they were disgustingly expensive.

As I expected to spend the next few days in poverty and hardship, Seo Ga-eul stretched out her white foot towards me.

Does she need more of the “whip of love”?

“What are you doing? You have to put them on for me. My palms are all tied up with your tape, so I can’t do anything. Start with the 15 denier.”

Since her hands were restricted, it made sense that I had to put the stockings on for her.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and put them on. If you put the stockings on well, I’ll tell you why I was put on ‘sick leave.’ I might even give you some juicy information that could help with kidnapping Yoo Yeoreum.”

Slide-.

Seo Ga-eul opened her slender eyes.

“Just to be clear, I’m not suggesting we do anything, okay? So if you have even a hint of lust, I won’t just withhold the information; I’ll bite my tongue and die. Got it? I have a good sense, so I can tell. I’m also sensitive to the concept of ‘length’ in various ways.”

Was the gaze and flick of the tongue of the serpent that tempted Adam and Eve hiding among the ivy leaves that wicked?

“You said you cherish my ‘body.’ So you wouldn’t get aroused just from putting on stockings, right?”

Whether it was about the kidnapping of Yoo Yeoreum or the stockings, it seemed Seo Ga-eul was putting all her mental energy into figuring out how to specifically mess with me in this basement.

That wicked girl. She must know that I like stockings and small women’s feet.

Since when did I have such a preference?

Since the day Seo Ga-eul, drenched in the rain, came to our house and took off her stockings, that kind of preference has taken root in me!

Would I be able to keep my composition while putting stockings on Seo Ga-eul? If I couldn’t hold myself back and even made some awkward move on her body, that would be the end of the “complete education.”

Maybe Seo Ga-eul had been aiming for that.

She was probably trying to tempt me into losing control and attacking her. Still, it wasn’t an overt temptation, so I couldn’t justify a “love’s punishment.” That was clever of her.

“What if I take them off for you, instead? You’ll just have to untie my hands.”

If I followed her words and untied the tape from her hands? Seo Ga-eul would surely tear me apart and escape, no doubt about it.

A true deadlock.

I could feel her arrogance in the way she looked at me.

But I wouldn’t be swayed by that.

A man shouldn’t be swayed by a woman.

Now that it had come to this, there was only one option.

I clenched my fist and—

—I struck my own balls!

*Thwack—!* *Thwack—!* *Thwack—!*

With the pain and shock, I temporarily erased my own masculinity, maintaining a forced state of clarity (明鏡止水)! With this, I wouldn’t have to worry about my masculinity getting hard!

“Gaaahhh!”

My whole body felt like it was going to twist apart, and I almost foamed at the mouth, but the effect was remarkable!

“Now! Now!”

“You fucking psycho!”

In the midst of extreme pain, I temporarily became a woman! I couldn’t let this opportunity slip away!

*Zzzzt—.*

I quickly tore open the stocking package and slowly started to slide the thin nylon from Seo Ga-eul’s white toes up her legs.

“You fucking psycho! Freak! “What the hell do you think you’re doing, you b*stard!”

Seo Ga-eul, clearly angry that things weren’t going according to her will.

Name: Seo Ga-eul

Status: [Astonishment] – You are honestly shocked by your reckless decision!

Her face was red as a ripe autumn apple, her breath heavy and ragged.

“Pervert! Psycho! “What the hell are you touching, you b*stard!”

The problem was that the temporary feminization due to the pain was incomplete, and I felt like I was doing something very wrong as I put stockings on the struggling Seo Ga-eul.

Nevertheless, with superhuman mental strength, I completed the mission!

“So, Ga-eul, now tell me why you are on ‘sick leave.’ If you are the only daughter of the Seonam Group, shouldn’t your disappearance be widely reported? Also, give me information about Yoo Yeoreum!”

“Yaaah! aaah!”
