Lee Seola.

For her, today has been the happiest day of all time.

The day she showed herself suppressing terrorism in front of the whole nation with her spotted man, Egostic.

The best opportunity to raise one's previously sluggish awareness and reputation at once, and also for Icicle to get closer to Egostic.

On top of that, the terrorist process was completed flawlessly as planned in advance with him, and it can be said that it was a perfect day with already showing signs of a rise in the stock price of her company.

….Post-terrorist Egostic, he looked much more exhausted than she thought, so it was perfect.

Yeah. When she was saying goodbye to him, suddenly Stardus came to where she and Egostic were.

"….."

Swallow.

Lee Seola swallowed her saliva as she watched Stardus approaching her gradually.

Egostic, who were laughing and chatting with her earlier, was rushing away with the ship.

And Lee Seola.

She had to remain alone to face Stardus.

And, after a while, Haru flew right in front of her.

And Haru's expression.

"..."

It was just expressionless.

…It was somehow scary.

'S-She didn't hear us, right?'

Looking at her expression, Lee Seola began to get a little nervous.

Lee Seola has been close to Haru for years.

Even though Lee Seola has been by Haru's side for such a long time, this is almost the first time she has seen the girl with such a cold expression.

But who is Lee Seola?

She's also an experienced person, rolling in the business and political circles.

It's the sewage that shows signs of shock over this.

As such, Lee Seola tried to smile and talked to Haru as if she was surprised.

"Oh, Haru! What's going on? How did you know?"

"What did you two talk about?"

And Lee Seola's efforts were sunk by Haru's word as she cut her off and gave her an expressionless face.

Shin Haru, who asked the question so casually, was still calm, but Lee Seola found something different from usual.

….Unusually subdued snow, and words of incredible cold air that the day has gone by.

Lee Seola was on the verge of losing her composure, but she still answered with a smile without stuttering through her superhuman efforts.

"Huh? Oh, you saw it, didn't you? It's nothing. He was provoking me, so I'm just dealing with him. Haha… By the way, Haru, weren't you in Seoul? How did you…"

"You were laughing though?"

And Lee Seola's words were once again cut off by Shin Ha-ra.

"…The two of you were talking and laughing?"

She looked at Haru who talked quietly while looking at her, still sinking with a cold look.

Lee Seola barely opened her mouth and answered as if nothing happened, even though she felt her soul was being blown away.

"Oh, that? Is it because we were being sarcastic and laughing at each other? It's not that big a deal."

It was Lee Seola who thought she answered naturally.

Shin Haru already felt something, from the way she spoke, slightly twisting her side hair without looking at her eyes.

"..."

Then she looked down quietly at Lee Seola, then turned her head and looked sideways.

In the place where Shin Haru looked, she could see Egostic's airship in the distance moving away eagerly.

As soon as she checked, Shin Ha-ru turned and prepared to fly over there. To catch up to the ship.

And she was just about to fly away.

Someone grabbed her hands and stopped her.

"…..?"

"Haru? Where are you going?"

Lee Seola. She caught Stardus, who was rushing toward Egostic.

And at that moment.

In Lee Seola's ear, the incredibly cold words hit her.

"Let go."

For a moment, she almost let go of the girl's hand as she felt the threatening feeling.

Still, she didn't let go of her hand, she stood firm and continued.

She doesn't know what will happen if let Haru go and meet Egostic. Really.

As she was determined to stop that, Lee Seola calmly told Shin Haru.

"Haru. Earlier, that Egostic guy said if we go after him, he'll bomb Busan. I don't think you should chase after him. Think of the people down there! R-Right?"

In the beginning, Lee Seola spoke up so powerfully, but then gradually volume down at the end of her sentence as Haru's expression got colder when she kept talking.

There was an uncomfortable silence as Lee Seola still held onto Stardus' arm.

After a while,

Shin Haru finally loosened her arm.

"…Really? Then there's nothing we can do then."

Soon, as if she had stiffened her expression, she finally went back to her usual expression.

Taking advantage of the gap, Lee Seola then spoke up again to Haru.

"…Then Haru, I think our misunderstanding has been resolved, so should we go back now? Everyone is waiting."

"Yeah. Oh, and I'll go back first since it's not good for me to show myself to people. Alright?"

"Oh… Okay."

Shin Ha-ru smiled at Lee Seola, then quickly flew to the other side and disappeared to the city.

Only after seeing her back.

Then did Lee Seola sigh and feel relaxed, almost collapsing on the ice scaffold where she was standing.

"Haa… Seriously."

That was a close call.

With the surprisingly cold and chill expression of Haru which she saw for the first time ever, Lee Seola was nervous at that moment because she thought her relationship with Egostic was caught.

If Stardus found out that all this terror was a play between her and Egostic, she can't imagine how thing's going to turn out.

Fortunately, however, when she looked at the atmosphere that was going around, she didn't think Haru would notice that much. She thinks Haru could only see her and Egostic talking while laughing.

"…Huh?"

Thinking to that point, Lee Seola realized that something was strange.

That's why she was giving off such a scary atmosphere? With that cold expression?

….Haru isn't always like that

"Wait… Does she…?"

Lee Seola, who continued to think back to back, realized something then raised the corners of her mouth without realizing it.

By any chance, Haru…

***

On the sea, along with the cold wind

Shin Haru was flying across the sea, avoiding the inland where people were gathering.

"….."

From Seoul to Busan.

She persuaded the head of the association to wake up the Shadow Walker and take her to Busan in a second.

And what she saw as soon as she arrived.

Immediately after the end of the terrorist attack, it was Egostic and Icicle, who were laughing and talking together.

From far away.

Shin Haru, who recalled the scene once again, clenched her teeth without even realizing it.

….Why does it make her stomach boil when she thinks of the sight?

"…Alright."

After some time, Haru slightly took a breath to calm down.

…She thinks she overreacted to Seola earlier. She'll have to apologize to her soon.

However,

Apart from that.

Once again, she recalled Seola, who was smiling and looking comfortable.

…It was not, in any way, a face to show in front of a villain.

But, well. Anything can happen.

Then Egostic.

Egostic, who was smiling while facing Seola, also came to her mind once again.

Shin Haru feels her face frowning again without realizing it. Until now, she felt like all the moments of her and Egostic were coming back as flashbacks.

Egostic's voice, when she was about to give up everything while feeling frustrated, he suddenly contacted and told her that she could do it, as if he believed her without a doubt.

Egostic's face, when she was about to die, he saved her by sacrificing himself, the guy hugged the wound while laughing hard.

When she lost her strength in the air and fell down, he stopped fighting to catch her and protected her in the air.

…Okay.

Yeah. Maybe, really maybe.

Any other weak, innocent, ordinary women other than herself.

They could have fallen for him, Egostic.

Like Icicle, who just met him and smiled in front of him, which she didn't do well.

Like her who laughed like a fool without knowing anything about the things he was hiding, maybe the secrets of why he was committing terrorism.

"…Haa."

That's what Shin Haru thought.

Only then.

She realized how she felt.

Okay.

She finally realized why she kept thinking of him.

She's the only one who cannot be swayed by his craftsmanship.

Whatever he does, she's the only one who can grab him firmly.

Even among his actions, she's the only one who can unshakably delve into his secrets.

So.

She should only deal with himself.

Only herself can deal with him.

"….."

It's already been a while since Egostic and Stardus got involved with each other.

In the meantime, the accumulated emotions, thoughts, and guesses that she felt while meeting him gathered in one place.

Inside Stardus, she already gave a conclusion about Egostic.

"Egostic…"

Egostic. He is.

Something only she can deal with.

For her, only.

He's her own villain.

***

"Hmm… What's this?"

"What's wrong, boss?"

As I was running away from Stardus, I trembled unconsciously with the chills as if something stabbed my back.

"No, wait a minute.."

I feel like I'm screwed.

What's this?

I trembled with a sense of uneasiness.

These days, there are times when I feel kind of weird…

It's getting worse today.

"What is it…?"

I just muttered to myself.

Without myself knowing.

The genre of the world, which was based on a hero comic called {Stardust!}, has begun to change little by little.
