[Title] My life has definitely changed ever since Mango Stick went into hiding.

When I turned on the broadcast,

Even if I’m in a bad mood, I’ll get better while watching Apple Mango.

I laughed while watching the Mango Stick mad 

Life is just depressing after Mango Stick disappeared.

No matter how happy things happen,

How many days has it been since I haven’t turned on Mango Stick’s broadcast alone in the shower?

“It’s been 93 days since Mango Stick has had a live broadcast.”

I’m so sad that I feel like crying.

I think this is why people say that Mango completes a person.

=[Comments] =

[Sir…]

[You’re seriously addicted to Mango Stick.]

[It’s sad that there’s no Mango Stick’s mad movie on my YouTube main feed.]

ㄴ[I miss the time when the radio wave was stolen and Egostic turned on his live broadcast.]

“Sigh…”

Shin Haru just let out a sigh while looking at Egostic’s fancafe.

Recently, she joined the cafe because she thought she might find out where the quiet Egostic is, but all the popular articles are meaningless.

Three months. The time is neither long nor short.

But it’s a mystery that Egostic, who had caused incidents every few weeks and months, disappeared for three months.

Of course, thanks to that, it’s more peaceful than before.

Of course, other villains have often terrorized but a few punches solve the problem.

They’re ridiculous compared to Egostic, who sank ships and crashed planes.

Honestly, these days are pretty peaceful and calm.

But

“It’s ominous…”

That’s right.

Like the silence before a typhoon, she feels anxious that something terrible will happen after this silence.

It’s a horrible feeling as she doesn’t know what he can prepare during these three months.

“….”

Even when she takes college classes.

Even when she studies at a cafe with my senior.

Even when she rests at home.

Even when she is choking other villains.

The dreary feeling that something lingers deep in her heart.

The next time they meet, it’s easy for her to know that she should prepare beforehand to deal with what he plans, what he aims for, but there’s nothing she can do if he doesn’t show up.

She shared this uneasy feeling with her friend, Icicle.

[Gosh, Haru. You’re worried too much. He might just want to take a break. Does he only have his meals and cause terrorism every day? Don’t worry~]

That was the only answer she could receive.

“Haa…”

Yeah, I don’t really have to care about him for now.

It’s better if he doesn’t show up. It’d be great if he never shows up forever.

As she was having that thought, her intuition whispered to herself.

‘Really?’

“…..”

Okay.

Let’s admit it.

Even if he disappears, she still hopes she can still find out what he has in mind before disappearing for good.

Why did you kill the other villains?

Why did you tell me to save people?

If so, why did you cause the terrorist attacks?

…Are you a hero cosplaying a villain, or a villain cosplaying…?

Then, the office where she was sitting burst open.

” Stardus!”

“Yes?”

When the door suddenly opened while she was quietly lost in thought, she startled and chewed her tongue.

Only then did Shin Haru realize that she was not in the cafe now.

After the college exam, the rest of her day is sitting in her office at the Hero Association.

Then the reason that staff ran to her is…

“Is there another case?”

“Yes, some villains are causing terrorism in Mapo-gu right now!”

“Really? Who’s the villain?”

She asked with slight anticipation, but the answer was disappointing.

“It’s his first time, and he calls himself Rock Bottom.”

“Oh, okay…”

Without knowing why she felt disappointed, she stood up to change into her suit.

“I’ll be right there.”

But even at that moment of dispatch, she had no choice but to question.

Egostic, what the hell is he doing now?

***

At the Ego base deep underground in Seoul. 

In that place, I was super busy.

“Oh, oh! It’s Stardus!”

I rushed to the TV grabbing some microwaved popcorn.

Phew, it hasn’t started yet.

[Yes! We’re in Mapo-gu, Seoul. The smoke that you can see behind me now is the scene of the terrorist attack caused by villain Rock Bottom. Right at this moment! Stardus is here!]

On the screen, a guy in a rock figure was breaking the building, and then Stardus flew down from the air.

“A battle… It’s a battle!””

I watched with excitement, pouring popcorn into my mouth.

Rock Bottom. An ignorant villain whose body is made of rock.

He doesn’t cause any casualties, Stardus can K.O him at once so I didn’t really need to step up.

“Oooh, oh!”

What they’re showing on the news is the fierce battle between Stardus and Rock Bottom. I’m sure I’m just watching the emergency news on terrestrial channels, but it feels like I’m watching a hero movie from the past. The CG is so realistic.

[Oh! Yes! She broke it! Stardus broke Rock Bottom’s arm! It’s shattered! Rock Bottom, what are you going to do now?]

The reporter who explains the battle in an interesting way as if he were a sports reporter.

On the screen, the camera was trying hard to follow the thrilling battle.

I drank a sip of the coke next to me and focused on it.

It’s a thrilling match… More than a fierce battle, I think Stardus is beating that Rock Bottom one-sided.

In the comic, it seemed like a fierce battle. Did I go to hard on improving Stardus’ power? She’s winning overwhelmingly.

It’s like she is beating a rock so the sound from the TV is no different from the ASMR of the construction site.

As I ate a piece of popcorn and drank a sip of cola while watching TV, I could feel the buzz behind me

I looked back and saw Seo-eun with a slightly sulky expression on her face.

“Seo-eun, you’re here? Do you want some popcorn?”

I mumbled the popcorn in my mouth and handed her the bucket.

Seo-eun paused a little bit, and soon took a handful of popcorn while letting out a sigh.

“Da-in, are you watching Stardus again?”

“No, more than that, I watch their fights. Watching fights is the most fun thing to do.”

“…You’ve never watched Icicle suppressing terrorism live like this.”

“Well… her fights are boring.”

Seo-eun sat next to me with a smirk.

Soon the fight was over. Rock Bottom became a rag while Stardus standing majestically on him. That’s so cool. 20 out of 10.

[Everyone!!!! Our hero!!!! Stardus!!!! has knocked out!!! the wicked villain!!!]

A commanding piece of music came up with the excited voice from the reporter.

….Isn’t this the music that comes out when you win a gold medal at the Olympics?

It was a great battle anyway, I applauded.

As expected, it’s fun no matter how many times I watch her. It’s thrilling.

It seemed like Seo-eun next to me was looking at me with cold eyes, but I probably just thought too much.

I accessed to Stardus’ fancafe that I bookmarked on my phone.

[Kyaaa. She slays Hahahahaha]

[Stardus, is she a god? Stardus, is she a god? Stardus, is she a god? Stardus, is she a god?]

[Dus_highlight_of_the_day.gif]

[Link to the fancam of today’s fight.]

[It’s not a big deal for our Dus to clean up a villain.]

Members of our Stardust Union were also enjoying this pleasure.

Hmm… Is there no YouTube video yet? I’m also thinking of making a video.

While I was thinking of a title that began with “Japan jumped up and down, the United States admired…”, Seo-eun next to me asked.

“Da-in, it’s already been three months since you took a break. Don’t you have to start doing something?”

She suddenly asked.

When I turned my head and looked at her, Seo-eun was fiddling with her hair.

“I mean… We seem to have had fun for a long time already… So I thought we should get to work again.”

Seo-eun… Were you a workaholic?

As she asked shyly looking down, I thought of a schedule.

It’s already close to the date, and those guys in the original comic will soon appear…  

After finishing the calculation roughly, I told Seo-eun.

“Yeah, we can work on something now. Let’s go active again.”

“Really?”

Suddenly, I smiled awkwardly as I saw Seo-eun’s face glowing up.

Okay, Seo-eun, although we’re going to work again.

Hmm… I don’t think it’s something that you’re expecting.
