Yeah, I have to admit it.

I’m not a superhuman.

[Stardust!] was my favorite comic, and I read it dozens of times to memorize all the lines, but that’s all.

I cannot say I know everything about this world.

“Haa… Shit…”

I hurriedly packed the mask and the cape.

Oh yeah, guns, too.

I have no choice now. Nothing’s going to stop me now.

I hurried out.

Hmm… Where did it go wrong?

The biggest problem must be the lack of calculation about the time.

I somehow know the year and season when X-Saint’s brother died, but I didn’t know the exact date.

So I just made a plan by guessing, ‘Wouldn’t it have happened around this time?’

So, uh… I think I made a mistake in the calculation.

In this event where the terrorists kill Lee Ha-yul and her brother, she turns bad.

I thought this was going to happen roughly in a month from now, but why is it happening today?

But it’s too late to whine. If I don’t beat them now, there will be no answers.

I hurriedly changed my outfit and headed for where the incident was taking place.

I hope it’s not too late.

***

Lee Ha-yul

She was having the worst time at the moment.

“Oh, what should we do with these little kids?”

“Hmph! Hmph!”

In her little shack.

Although it’s small and shabby, it’s her and her brother’s only home.

Their precious home was filled with unwanted uninvited guests.

“Hey, maknae*. What do you want me to do?” *TN: The youngest person in the group

The man who talks down to the others, was standing at the front.

In the family of the two siblings, the men were standing there filling their house.

Those who stormed into the house without taking off their shoes tied Lee Ha-yul and her brother up so tight that there’s no space for them to resist.

They even put on tape to cover their mouths, the two of them are completely trapped by them.

A muscular man with his head shaved and scars on his face.

He spoke up.

“Brother, is this little brat that tried to steal your wallet?”

“Yeah… That’s right..”

The man that they called “Brother”. A typical bully with blond hair in wax and sunglasses. Their captain soon squatted down and looked at her and said,

“This cute little kid… You were trying to steal my wallet without feeling scared?”

“Hmph! Hmph!”

Her arms and legs are tied and her mouth is covered with tape.

Although she was unable to do anything, she desperately covered her younger brother with her body.

Even in the worst situation, she insists on protecting her brother.

And her will, even the terrorists could feel it.

Ah.

That bitch, she cherishes the little boy behind, right?

“Hey, hey. Get rid of her, get the kid at the back here.”

“Yes sir.”

“Hmphhhh!! Hmphhh!”

The strangers left behind her desperate resistance and brought out the boy behind her.

What they picked up was a little boy shivering with tears.

“Sob… Sob…”

Likewise, the boy was tied with a rope and taped on his mouth.

He seems to be in elementary school. The terrorists smiled evilly at the trembling child.

Among them, the person who was called the brother spoke up again.

“Hey, take the tape off his mouth.”

“Yes!”

A bald man called the youngest, another mysterious man next to him, ripped the tape.

Like this.

A boy whose tape was ripped off, and who could speak.

He groped his lips in a tearful voice.

“P-Please don’t kill me… Don’t kill me…”

As he begged in a teary voice, the terrorists around him laughed.

“Hahahaha! Look at this little thing.”

“Hmm… Should I save you? Should I not?”

“Brother, let’s just get rid of them both.”

Another wretch pretended to slit his throat with his hands.

The boy’s face turned pale when he saw it, and Lee Ha-yul below went crazy.

“Hmphhhh!!! Hmphhh!!”

“Hmmmmmm…Hey, grab her.”

“Yes.”

“Yes!”

The other two men next to her grabbed her, who was going crazy.

The man, who was called “Brother”, spoke up with a fishy smile.

“Hey, you bitch… I guess he means a lot to you?”

As he said so, he took out a knife and put it on the child’s neck.

“If you’re guilty… you have to pay it back, right? Huh? Let’s see… He looks like the younger one.”

“Hmphh! Hmphhhh!!”

“Oh, I guess I’m right because you’re making a fuss.”

“P-Please don’t kill me…”

“Yeah, well. Should I spare your life?”

The “Brother” smirked.

At the same time, he raised his knife high.

“I’ll spare your sister’s life. You should die because of your sister’s sin. Hey, he’s dying because of you. Do you understand?”

“Hmph! Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!!!”

“Sob…”

“Good bye.”

The man’s knife is ready to strike the child.

At that moment…

Thump, thump, thump.

“AAAAAAAAAHHHH!”

“Fuck, what the hell?”

The door of the house was smashed, and a great roar was heard.

“….?”

The man, who was about to strike the kid with the knife, put Lee Ha-yul’s brother to the side and stood up.

“Who the fuck did this when we’re having fun?”

“Brother, I’ll go check!”

So, the maknae of the gang took her brother and went to the door.

“Which brat did this?!”

The maknae shouted out loud.

As if there was nothing so frightening in the world, he strode.

Bang.

He was hit in the head by a sudden bullet.

He collapsed right on the spot.

“Shit!!!”

“Everyone, get your guns out! The youngest was shot!”

Suddenly in a small room, they rushed out their guns from their pockets.

Soon as they were ready to fight and holding their guns towards the door.

Blink- Blink-

Suddenly, the light that was shining in the room began to turn on and off, on and off.

“What the hell… What is it…”

The flashing lights eventually went out.

Inside the house, it was covered in darkness.

They suddenly became blind.

Gulping, they headed their guns toward the door.

In the silent house that makes them feel horrified. All they could hear was her brother whimpering in the back.

They’re bracing themselves for a battle that could happen at any time.

From the door, the sound of footsteps began to be heard.

“Everyone, shoot!!!”

Suddenly, the leader of the gang screamed hysterically.

At the moment they heard his command, everyone started to shoot no matter if they were standing or in any positions.

Bang, bang, bang, bang-

The room was filled with gunfire in an instant.

The shooting was loud enough to match the roar from before.

The door was almost smashed and covered with dusty smoke.

“Ugh… Is it over?”

One of the minions murmured.

As he said, the light that was out of the room briefly turned on again.

Blink.

At that moment, they saw…

Black clothes and capes covering the whole body.

A black magician’s hat.

And there was a man standing with a grin, wearing a mask covering half his face.

They identified the man with a fleeting glance.

That’s definitely the villain who always appears in the news.

The light that was on in a moment went out in an instant.

They saw a strange-looking man standing still after all that shooting.

The captain who saw it shouted hysterically.

“Shoot!!!!!!”

In such a dark room, the shots rang out again.

In a dark place where you cannot see not only your front but also your side.

“Ugh.”

One of the men who used the gun shouted out a death throe and collapsed.

“Geun-chul! Damn it…!”

The leader gritted his teeth and striked his gun even further forward.

However, as he continued to shoot, his men collapsed one by one with a scream.

Soon the last of his men fell down.

The sound of shooting the silent place was only coming from the gun he was holding.

“Ugh… Fuuuuuckkkkkk!!!”

He gritted his teeth and shot desperately.

Click, click.

No matter how many bullets his gun had fired out.

Eventually, the gun ran out of bullets.

“F-Fuck…”

Then, he grabbed the knife that he held a moment ago.

He stumbled to the back.

“F-Fuck. Fuck off, you bastard! I said fuck of!!!”

He looked forward like a madman and whimpered.

Blink. And the lights turned on completely again.

The room is now full of blood.

All the men who had been standing still and wondering if they should kill the siblings until just now were dead and lying around in the room.

And in the middle of the misery, a man was standing quietly.

He patted the blood on his black clothes with one hand, and held only a pistol in his other hand.

“F-Fuck. Don’t come near me, you brat!”

The leader, who screamed like crazy while striking the knife, stepped back to the opposite side of the man in black and soon found something.

As soon as he found it, the leader picked it up faster than anyone else.

“D-Don’t move! If you move, I’ll kill him!”

He picked up Lee Ha-yul’s younger brother, who was on the floor tied up.

The leader threatened the kid with the knife in his neck

And whether the threat was valid, the guy who was coming forward paused.

“Yeah! Stay still, put the gun on the floor now!”

As he screamed like that, Egostic quietly put the gun on the floor.

When Egostic put his gun down completely on the floor and stood up again, the leader’s face brightened up for a moment.

“Fuck, yeah! And then fuck–”

Before he’s done talking.

At the back of the Egostic, a gun popped up out of nowhere.

Before the leader noticed it, he fired in an instant.

“…off…”

A hole was put in his brow as he was talking so confidently.

He collapsed on the spot. With the boy in his arms.

“….”

All the terrorists who invaded Lee Ha-yul’s house died.

Lee Ha-yul on the side was being tied up with her mouth taped, her brother was sitting on the floor, and a black man was standing quietly.

Behind him, the house was covered with blood.

“…..”

There’s a horrible silence, no man, no girl, no child, no one said a thing.

The girl was lying on the floor, she was about to do something.

In this quiet house, her brother on the floor suddenly spoke up.

“M-Mango Stick…?”

His words totally didn’t go with the atmosphere.

***

“Huh…?”

I doubted my ears for a moment.

In the house that I suddenly broke in and created a bloody scene.

Lee Ha-yul, who is lying down on the side, is looking at me like I’m a serial killer.

This is not what I expected…!!

At this moment, when  I was thinking about how to get rid of this awkward situation.

Lee Ha-yul’s younger brother, who I had never imagined would open his mouth first, spoke up.

‘You have to mention Mango Stick all of sudden here?’

I stared at her younger brother.

His eyes were sparkling when he looked at me, even though the surroundings are pretty bloodied that I’m sure the elderly and pregnant women would be banned from watching.

Huh?

‘What… should I do?
