Surviving as a Brainwashing Villain in a Hero World

Chapter 51



Chapter 51

“In the name of heroes and magical girls… we will punish you villains!”

Suddenly, two heroes introduced themselves as ‘Hero Magical Girls’.

As they introduced, they wore frilly dresses like those from a magical girl anime,

along with cute gloves and head decorations.

“What, what’s this…? That kind of thing… heroes…? Heh… Hahaha…!”

Firecracker, watching their flamboyant entrance, couldn’t help but chuckle.

It was understandable; all the heroes until now wore cool suits,

or showcased powerful weapons or abilities.

But now, dressed like something out of a cartoon?

And they call themselves heroes?

…He just couldn’t stop laughing at the thought.

“Step aside. Now is not the time for fighting.”

However, Executioner maintained a poker face,

and told the self-proclaimed ‘Hero Magical Girls’ to move aside.

“No way! We can’t let you back into the city!”

The two, seemingly shorter than the rather short Firecracker,

blocked the path of Executioner, who had a massive build exceeding 2 meters.

Then, waving their magical wands,

They shouted something energetically.

– Swoooosh…!!

“Take this! Aqua… Bubble Shower!”

As Magical Aquamarine shouted ‘Aqua Bubble Shower’,

an enormous amount of water droplets burst from the tip of her wand.

– Shaaaaaaahhー!!!

The droplets floating in the air then rushed at Executioner, who stood still without any weapon, at tremendous speed.

“Hmph…”

“How’s the taste of my Aqua Bubble Shower?”

Although Executioner’s expression didn’t change, hit by hundreds of water droplets,

he staggered slightly with injuries all over his body.

‘…Looks like they’re not just simple bubbles.’

As he thought, the bubbles she fired were not ordinary.

Magical Aquamarine’s ability, true to her hero name, was to control water ‘Aqua’.

When launched, she subtly changed the shape of the water droplets,

transforming each into a sharp blade-like form as they flew.

“Hmph… This has become troublesome.”

Executioner had planned to conserve his strength by avoiding fights with heroes,

but it seemed that wasn’t going to be possible.

“I didn’t really want to fight… but I guess there’s no choice.”

With a resigned look, he closed his eyes and extended his arms forward.

– Grrrrrraaaah… Squeeeak…!!??

“What… what’s that?! Something like a large blade came out of his arms…?!”

From both his extended arms, thick and heavy blade-like edges emerged, breaking through his skin,

reflecting the moonlight menacingly.

The reason why the villain Executioner was considered one of the most dangerous among the Dark Knights’ leaders.

It was because of his ability ‘Bone Knife’, which allowed him to create blades from his body.

– Swishー

“Kyaaaah?!!”

Executioner flew towards Magical Aquamarine with a speed so fast there was no time to react, like the wind.

The sound of a sonic boom seemed to echo due to his rapid charge.

“Phew… I almost got… by those blades…!”

However, Magical Aquamarine, unscathed,

looked at Executioner, now soaked.

“It’s because of those water droplets. An annoying ability.”

Just before Executioner’s blades could slice her,

she had enveloped herself in a large water droplet like a shield.

The wet state of Executioner was due to the bursting of that water bubble.

“Wh-what do we do…?! Uh…?”

Firecracker, watching Executioner slightly injured and in combat, trembled and stuttered in shock.

“Hey, you with the green bun hair! I’ll take you on!”

Magical Seraphina pointed at the flustered Firecracker,

and with a confident expression, charged towards him.

“Come out! Poison Flower of Justice, purifying evil!”

– Rumbleeee…!

“Aaaah…?!”

As Magical Seraphina swung her wand towards Firecracker,

the ground beneath Firecracker’s feet began to shake and split open.

– Booooomー!!

From the crack in the ground, thick plant stems stretched out,

and at their tips, flower buds started to raise their heads towards Firecracker.

Magical Seraphina’s ability ‘Poisonic Plant’ was, as the name suggests,

the power to grow and control plants that can emit poison.

The ‘Poison Flower of Justice’ was one of her main techniques.

“Don’t move! I’ll purify both of you with the power of justice!”

“Uh, uh…? Hehehe…!”

“What… what’s so funny all of a sudden?!”

Even with the flower buds about to spew poison right before his eyes,

Firecracker, who had been scared moments ago, started to laugh ominously.

Then he stood up, rolled up the long sleeves of his cheongsam,

and revealed the hands he had hidden deep within his sleeves.

– Swish…

He removes the thick leather gloves that didn’t match his outfit.

“Hehe… Hehehehehe… Kihahaha…!”

– Swooshー

With an unseen speed, Firecracker threw something at the flower buds after taking off his gloves.

Then…

– Boooooomー!!!!!!

“Argh…! What’s with this explosion…?!”

Thanks to the explosives aimed at the flower buds, Magical Seraphina wasn’t caught in the blast,

but instead, a thick smoke covered her vision.

“Phew… It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Feels great!

Like not showering or brushing your teeth for days and then doing it all at once, you know?”

Firecracker, who seemed timid and always shriveled among the other villain leaders,

suddenly changed completely in personality once he took off his gloves,

his voice no longer stuttered and became sharp with madness and confidence.

– Thud… Thud…

“Even if I can’t see, I can still see your silhouette…! Haaah…!!!”

Magical Seraphina waves away the smoke, approaching ‘Poison Flower of Justice’ just before it blooms,

and tapped the stem next to the bud with her magic wand.

Then, from where the wand touched, several tendrils grew,

flying through the smoke towards Firecracker’s silhouette.

– Boooooomー!!!!!!

However, a small explosive flew from somewhere, targeting the tendrils,

and exploded upon contact, shattering them to pieces.

‘Is his ability throwing bombs…?’

Preparing for another bomb, Magical Seraphina tried to control the flower.

Then, a kick flew towards her from beyond the smoke.

– Thumpー!

“Kyaaah?!”

Magical Seraphina, struck by the kick, fell,

and Firecracker walked towards her through the smoke.

“I also really like cartoons with magical girls. Do you like them too?

I mean, you must like them to be doing this… right?!!! Huh?!!!”

With eyes filled with madness like being sucked in.

Firecracker toyed with his hair of the same color as hers with a maniacal face.

“Phew… Your hair color is similar to mine? Though mine is a bit darker.

And you know… this color doesn’t come out without dyeing.”

“St-stop touching it!”

– Snapー

When Magical Seraphina swatted away his hand that was toying with her hair,

the face that had been lost in mad enthusiasm suddenly turned cold, almost expressionless.

“Hah… Wearing some weird cosplay outfit you bought online,

and you think you’re a hero, huh?”

Then, grabbing tightly the hair he was toying with,

he pulled Magical Seraphina close, spitting all sorts of harsh words.

“Let… go! I have no words to share with an evil villain like you!”

But she didn’t give in to Firecracker’s pressure,

pushed him away with all her might and stood up again.

“Take this! Justice Poison Blast!!!”

Swinging her wand towards Firecracker, who was tilting his head with an unpleasant expression,

the flower bud she had grown bloomed brightly, spreading its leaves.

– Shaaaaahhー!!!

From the center of the flower, an opaque-colored toxic liquid started to seep out.

The liquid, which seemed to carry significant toxicity, splashed gloriously towards Firecracker.

“Aaaargh!!”

The scream of Firecracker, covered in toxic liquid.

The clothes he wore melted away as if acidic, and he coughed up a considerable amount of blood.

“How about that? Still feel like talking?”

Magical Seraphina, confident of her upper hand after seeing his condition,

shouted triumphantly at Firecracker, who was in pain.

“Ah…”

But it seemed the toxic liquid’s damage wasn’t enough,

as Firecracker, after vomiting blood a few times, staggered to his feet.

“Is this all you’ve got?”

Despite enduring quite some pain,

his face seemed unexpectedly calm, even bored.

“The stronger and cooler the heroes are… the more fun it is to blow them up.

If this is all you’ve got for a hero or whatever magical thing you are, it’s not fun, is it?”

“Accept your end quietly! Evil villain!”

“Accept my end quietly… I wonder who that’s really directed at?”

– Tossー

Something was thrown towards Magical Seraphina from within the faint mist of the evaporated toxic liquid.

“Is that meant for your agents here?”

“Ahhh… ugh… Ahhh?!!!”

What was thrown at her was none other than an agent from the Hero Union,

turned into an explosive by Firecracker’s ability ‘Bombification’.
