Chapter 319:

Ever since his escape, the Egostic Fancafe has been in a festive mood.

It's what they wanted, after all, so when they got their wish, it was quite the feast.

But it was only for a moment.

Every happy occasion has its detractors.

*

[But don't you think it's a little strange that he hasn't shown his face since he escaped?]

[In the first place, the prison escape process was not broadcast, and it turns out that it was orchestrated by the Association, right?]

[What is this mango health theory?]

[[Shock] Interview with Mr. S, a member of the Association Controversy as it is revealed that Egostics time may be limited']

[The mess has started again, right?]

[I'm trying to tell you it'll be okay, but if you're a little anxious, it's okay haha.]

*

Especially in the fan cafe, the atmosphere is getting more and more precarious. There are even ridiculous stories like an alternate theory of an Egostic robot.

So, just when she was starting to worry about Egostic.

At the right time, he appeared.

***

That day the number of viewers of Egostic broadcast reached a record high for the year.

And then, as if to put everyone's anxiety to rest.

[Hello, everyone, it's Egostic!]

All they could see of him was a healthy-looking man, smiling broadly from behind a mask.

In the midst of all this national attention after his escape, the first live broadcast took place.

***

Above the city of Seoul, under a blue sky, on a crisp breeze, I fluttered my cloak and smiled for the camera.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Egostic!"

As I said that, the chat window started to pop up.

As usual, they were coming in at a crazy pace, but today they were even faster.

Even with all the restrictions I've put in place, including the Korean chat restriction, the bombardment of the chat was too much for my eyes to keep up with.

*

[Mango stick hahaha]

[Thank you for just coming, Mango]

[Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick! Mango stick!]

[Egostic's broadcast is on. Yes, time has started to flow again]

[Relativity is E=MC 2. And what does its predecessor, E=MC, mean? It means that Egostic = Mango stick. That's right. Even relativity was Mango stick]

[The comments section just went crazy, haha]

[The number of viewers has really turned around. Korea's population has already been surpassed long ago]

*

And in the midst of it all, I smiled lazily, hands in my pockets, cape flapping, and waved at them.

Good, good.

It feels good to be out in the open after so long.

I walked through the floating skies with that thought in mind. This broadcast is an act of terrorism, but it is also a broadcast that will clear up all the rumors that have been circulating about me since my escape. As such, I'll have to answer some questions.

"Uh? Um, yeah. I got them all, I'm fine."

I smiled, avoiding her eyes, and replied that I was.

Of course, I don't remember what happened in prison, but I guess I don't need to get into all that because nothing happened there anyway, and it would be insensitive to bore her with that much detail.

The plan from the beginning was to call Stardus for help in the event Wish Granter goes on a rampage, so I wasn't surprised when she asked me about it.

The odd thing is.

"Whew, thank goodness. Are you feeling better?"

With that, she took a step closer, reaching for me in midair.

I did the same, taking another step back from her.

No, why are you reaching for me? You're trying to catch me, naturally.

"Ah."

Of course, when I did, she lowered her hand and looked hurt for a moment.

I wasn't in a position to pay attention to her right now.

Of course, I wondered why she had that look on her face.

And why did she look so worried and happy for me, as if she had no intention of hiding it? That was a question, but there was a bigger one.

Excitement. Thrill. Thrill. Thrill.

Why, as soon as I saw her, my heart was beating like crazy and I blush.

Because if it's you, I don't mind.

Delicious. Stardus, are you a good cook?

I'm not going to let you off the hook.

Aren't you a little cold?

Yes, it is. My hands are getting cold.

Are you warm now?

.Yes.

Egostic, you asked for it, so I'll do it.

Obviously, I don't remember.

Why, suddenly. I feel the urge to reach out to her, to embrace her, to blow away the villain, the plan, the whole thing, to be by her side.

I'm caught in a sudden, chaotic, uncontrolled wave of emotions.

I try to control them, to not let my agitated mind show.

I stiffened my face to keep from blushing, and before I knew it, I spoke to Stardus in a cold voice.

"Stardus, Im about to start a terrorist attack, so you might as well stop it."

Not this.

***

Up in the sky, Stardus had flown to meet with Egostic, and now she was in a panic.

Egostic changed.

"Stardus, Im about to cause terror, so why don't you stop it?"

Not so long ago, we were walking hand in hand

Watching him say that, his expression suddenly cold and not meeting her eyes, she felt her heart ache slightly. Just a little, just a little. Mmm.

No way, Egostic

""

Of course not.
