Healer.

It refers to a person who has the ability to heal wounds that can often be seen in games.

There was also a woman with healing powers in this comic, Stardust!, which I fell into.

Healing. Even though it sounds like a hero’s skill.

Unfortunately, she was a villain.

I cannot say it’s reliable to have a healer on our side, but when she’s on the other side, it’s crazy and makes people jump up.

She beat them to the point where they couldn’t move for months at least, but somehow they crawled and ran away, recovered in a day, and came back with another terrorist attack.

Our Stardus wondered how the hell they would get back so soon, and as it turned out later, this was all because of a female villain called “X-Saint” who healed the villains.

The main culprit in the second half of the original comic raises the difficulty of catching tough villains.

I just need to deal with her, and then those in the second half will be handled easily.

So.

I have to take her in.

“So, there’s a girl who’s going to be a villain who treats villains later on?”

“Yeah, wouldn’t it be so reliable to have one?”

“Ha… You’re not really going to tell me how you know about her? Is she just a delusion, or do you just look into the future?”

“Seo-eun, you’re still a kid, so you’ll know when you become an adult.”

“Well… Phew. Anyway, I got it. So where is she now and what is she doing?”

“Hmm…”

“What is she doing?”

“I heard that… she’s pickpocketing in some alley?”

“What?”

Seo-eun suddenly looked at me as if she had heard something absurd. Hmm… How should I explain this?

“I heard that she’s a high school student.”

Seo-eun looked even more shocked at my words.

Hmm… How do I explain this?

***

Lee Ha-yul.

She has lived as an orphan since she was very young.

Her little brother and her were being bullied when they were in the orphanage, and scratched a living.

The director of the orphanage learned about her ability.

Her top-level healing ability is able to save almost dying people to live.

Normally, it’s right to report it to the association right away.

But the evil head of the orphanage hid her.

And they tried to sell Lee Ha-yul to the rich people.

She planned on a real human trafficking.

However, Lee Ha-yul, who noticed it, escaped from the orphanage.

Stabbing the mad head director who knows her secret.

So she wanders in the alley with her brother.

They’re living a subsistence life of stealing or pickpocketing

Then one day, her brother was beaten to death by terrorists in front of her eyes.

Because of the shock, she eventually turns evil.

It’s all because of this world that she became like this.

It’s because of the association that didn’t recognize and help them, and because of the government.

After living a tough life, she eventually joined the Villain Alliance and helped the villains to participate in the project of taking South Korea down.

She’s very similar to Seo-eun. She resents the world and eventually tries to destroy it.

Anyway, the bottom line is, I’m going to pick her up and make her my team.

She’s the right choice as the first member of the Egostic Villain Alliance.

If I put them together one by one, wouldn’t I be able to have almost all the villains under my hands in the future?

Well, I don’t really think so.

I don’t really need all of them, but taking her in is urgent.

Of course, the problem is that the kid basically distrusts humans because of what she went through in the orphanage, so she won’t accept me easily.

If I just come to her and say, “I’ll give you money, give me your loyalty!” then I would be eating some knives.

But wouldn’t it be possible to do something like the suspension bridge effect?

“Actually, I’ll do everything, so you have nothing to worry about.”

“I’m even more worried when you say that…”

Seo-eun gave me a disapproving look.

There’s nothing to worry about.

I am already confident that this method will work.

Seo-eun, because I used this method to get close to you.

***

Anyway, that’s how I ended up standing here now.

In the evening, somewhere in the alley where there’s no CCTVs.

As I remember, she would be active at this hour.

When I was wandering from place to place in the alley,

I got a call from Seo-eun with the earphones that I plugged in.

[Da-in, there’s a girl watching you hiding in the alley at 2 o’clock. I think it’s her.]

Bingo.

My current outfit is black and I don’t even have a mask on.

I’m walking in a slightly silly but rich style. I’m dressed up like a pushover.

Well…

I’m walking slowly.

The girl is finally running from over there.

She ran towards me, and she smacked me as if it was a mistake.

I was hit on the shoulder by a teenage girl.

Who knew that the prideful Egostic would be living like this? What a pity.

So the girl just snapped and disappeared into the darkness.

Finally, when the girl was out of sight, I put my hand in my pocket.

It was empty. My wallet is gone.

“As expected.”

Good.

It’s going according to the plan.

Behind the dark back alley, I smirked.

[What are you doing there? Come home now.]

“Alright.”

Since I threw the bait,

You just have to bite it now.

***

“Huff,  huff.”

Lee Ha-yul, she kept running.

A successful pickpocket after a long time.

After running and running until the guy couldn’t find her, she soon came a long way to the place and caught her breath.

After reaching a safe place, she took out the wallet she stole from the man with trembling hands.

A wallet embroidered with an E.S. on the outside

She opened it carefully, and there’s something in there.

“$100?”

It was a hundred dollar bill.

This is a lot of money.

People carry cards these days, so they don’t really have cash with them.

“With this money… I think I can buy Cha Yoon something other than ramen.”

Mumbling quietly to herself, she soon walked home with a slight smile.

Of course, she was a little sorry for the person who lost money because of her, but…

‘I have no other choice…’

They have no money, ability, or identity, so they have no choice but to live like this, and they try to comfort themselves.

Of course, she couldn’t help but feel guilty.

“Ha-yul, you’re home?”

Entering the shabby shantytown, her brother welcomed her.

Heading inside with a bitter smile, she said to her brother.

“I made some money today. Let’s buy something delicious.”

“Really? Wow!!!”

He’s still an elementary school student, so he’s pretty clumsy at expressing his emotions.

She smiled unconsciously at him.

Yes, even if she cannot eat, I have to feed him well.

Patting her brother on the head, she sighed.

She can endure this today and tomorrow, but what should she do next?

Like the dark night, her heart was blackened.

ㄴ[No way. Hahahaha]

*

I’ve been playing like this because I’m bored these days.

I go into my fancafe, to where people hang out and leave some comments.

Of course, I erase it right after, but… it’s more fun than I thought

If Seo-eun finds out why I’ve been playing like this, I think she’ll look at me as a pathetic person… Hmm …

I stopped playing, and thought about my future plans.

It’s called “Wet Clothes in the Rain.”

This time, I let her took my wallet away.

Next time, I will change clothes and let her take my wallet again.

But it’ll also be the wallet with E.S. initials on it.

After stealing a few more times like that, she’ll realize that she’s been stealing the same person’s wallets.

That’s how she’ll realize the weird thing. Why do I stay still and let her bump into me even when I’ve been robbed of my wallet so many times?

And at the same time, why does the money increase from $100 at first to $200, $300 the next times?

That’s how I’m going to appear in front of her house when she’s in doubt.

‘In fact, I knew I had been pickpocketed last time, and I tracked you down to catch you.

However, when I saw you living with your brother despite the difficult situation, I was greatly impressed.

I’ll be your guardian if you don’t mind.’

But even if I say so, she might not listen to me because of her deep-rooted distrust of humanity.

She’ll tell me to get out of there, and I’ll walk away quietly and lonely.

Then even though she threw me away, somehow I kept coming to her mind.

She would think that I was after her own power, but I wasn’t, and as she saw that I hadn’t come back since I was chased away.

‘Honestly, was he really a good guy…?”’

She would think that to herself, and I guess that’s when the accident will happen.

The gang murder her brother.

What if I step up and save him right before he dies?

And if I ask to be their guardian one more time?

Wouldn’t they trust me completely and come under my wings then?

“Wow…Perfect…”

Deep in the basement, I let out an evil laugh.

Yeah, my plan is perfect.

There’s no way it would go wrong.

One day, I was planning the next plan in my room while putting $200 in the wallet.

Seo-eun suddenly opened my door, rushed in and shouted.

“Da-in! The gang or something just appeared! What should we do?”

How the hell are they already showing up?
