I Became a Framed Villain

76 – The Lost Hound

“Ha ha ha…”

My head is hot.

– Kwok…

No, it’s not just the head that’s hot. My whole body is hot like a ball of fire.

“… Die.”

What am I talking about?

“Die…”

When I regained my senses, I found myself sitting on top of a naked woman and strangling her.

“………”

I felt dazed for a moment, but I didn’t want to know what was going on.

I couldn’t make an excuse that I acted on my own because I lost my reason in the middle, or that my hands were moving at will.

– Kwadeudeuk…

I, with my own will, strangled the saintess in front of her with all my might.

“………”

Looking at her appearance, the saintess has already lost her consciousness.

So far, the body is convulsing slightly, and the face is pale, but it’s not completely white, so it doesn’t look like it’s completely dead.

However, it was a self-evident fact that if I continued to choke her like this, I would reach her death.

– Kwakdeudeuk..-

Even though I knew that, my hand didn’t stop.

“… Ha.”

The corner of my mouth went up before I knew it.

“Ha ha… Ha.”

Surprisingly, the emotion I am feeling right now is joy.

Is it right to feel that way when you’re killing people?

Somehow it feels like I’ve crossed the line as a human being, but thinking about it by myself for a while is okay.

That’s right, am I not a villain now?

It’s not even a hero, it’s something a villain can do while yawning.

Even Pandora, who trembles when something scary happens right away, kills without much inspiration.

By the way.

– Burr…

But why are my hands suddenly convulsing?

‘…Contract?’

It was at that moment that I suddenly remembered the contract the chairman and I had made.

‘I wonder if it was a contract that prevented the action itself.’

Looking at how my hands are getting stiffer, I think that’s right.

“…Mmm.”

Or, the trauma of that time has resurfaced.

– Burrr…

In the finals of the Hero Tournament held at the academy, that noisy match between Justia and I.

I wonder if the events of that time were still entrenched in my subconscious?

“…Unsurprising.”

Now I thought it wouldn’t matter.

I could never have imagined that I would catch my ankle at a moment like this.

Maybe it’s because I slowly became close to Justia after that day.

I never thought of the possibility that the memory of that day would still be lurking inside me.

– Seruk…

“…Fhe, eh.”

She quietly sighed and released her grip, and her saintess spasmed her entire body in small convulsions and let out her breath.

“…….”

I looked down at that figure, then quietly got up from my seat and started to head forward.

“…Chairman.”

It was to ask for the cancellation of the contract.

Because there was a big difference between being forced to do something and being unable to do it on my own.

Now that I’ve become a villain, it would be a waste if I couldn’t punish the mistake with my own hands.

“…….?”

But as I was walking, I could only quietly frown.

“Oops.”

The chairman sat down on a chair with his eyes closed quietly.

I wondered if he was simply asleep, but seeing that the intimidation I felt from him had disappeared, I thought it wasn’t.

– Hwaruk…

I looked at him in a daze because of that, but suddenly lowered my gaze, and almost all of the contracts that came into view were burned.

“…Why are you in such a hurry?”

You can bind the other person into a contract, but you cannot escape from that contract yourself.

As every ability has a weakness that can be exploited one by one, that was the chairman’s weakness.

When I thought about that, it seemed that the chairman had already quietly closed his eyes in exchange for unilaterally breaking the contract.

“… Ha ha.”

Since I was already a human with only a few days left to live, I don’t feel particularly guilty or sad.

However, it was bitter because he was one of the few people who were kind to me, including my parents and Justia.

“In the next life, please be born normally.”

Nevertheless, the only thing I can do now is the one word that the chairman always said.

“…Of course, if his temper is the same, he’ll try to become a leader among ordinary people.”

After paying my respects to the old mogul and turning around, I saw a battered saintess again.

– Wriggling…

She seemed to have come to her senses at some point, but she had her eyes dimly open.

“Help me…”

“………”

“Please save my life… Save my life…”

Of course she didn’t mean to do that, so she quietly stretched out her hand, but then her arm started to stiffen again.

“… Ha ha.”

At this point, it’s clear.

Even though the contract that restricted me was burned down, this is the only explanation that the trauma of that time lurks inside me.

“That’s annoying.”

Come to think of it, when you become a villain, you said that your inner trauma is amplified many times over.

That’s why it’s quite annoying. All in all, the trauma caused by her first meeting with Justia is preventing her from taking revenge.

“I, I… Can’t kill you?”

Because of her

She was staring at her quietly, then suddenly she slowly raised the corners of her mouth and then began to mutter her saintess.

“D-I’ve heard. There are Secret Service agents who can’t kill people…”

“………”

“She first hurt Justia…But she disappeared from the academy after that day…”

“…Looks like you still have the energy to speak.”

“A hound tamed by Justia.”

Judging from the way he speaks, he seems to know that I am Kang Ha-neul.

“The man who used to be very twisted and ferocious has become a gentle sheep after being tamed by Justia…”

I don’t know if it was simply the information power of the 7 main lines, or if the information was leaked to a spy among the executives.

You feel good.

“…I will make one last suggestion to you.”

“…….”

“Because I’ll be your Justia…”

And with that sad feeling, as she sees the abominable saintess who doesn’t even know what she’s talking about, she starts to run wild.

“Okay, let’s look at this.”

“That’s…”

“Look at this.”

But my arms were still stiff, so I whispered in a cold voice as I held my smartphone in my mouth.

“………”

Then, shortly after, she fell into a trance.

“I’ll ask you one thing.”

To her, I asked a question in a calmer voice than ever before.

“…What was Justia like at the last moment?”

If trauma is preventing me from killing myself, I just need to be angry enough to cover up that trauma.

It was a question I asked with that in mind.

“I resisted until the very last moment…”

“…….”

“He heard that today is his birthday…”

And that intention was hit to a certain extent.

“He said Kang Ha-neul would be waiting for him…”

Because a terrifyingly powerful rage began to dominate my body.

– Burr…

But despite this, my hand was still immovable.

“…hahahaha.”

I wonder if it’s because of my mood that the image of Justia as a student who was hugging me with a broken body momentarily flickered in front of my eyes.

“Look at that…”

“………”

“You… Can’t kill people after all…”

“…Yes.”

From nob le mt l dot com

No, it wasn’t because I was in the mood to see tears starting to form in my eyes.

“I can’t kill people.”

The second emotion that came back to me was sadness.

“So let me help you…”

“But I mean.”

And that awkward yet new feeling for me, who only moved with anger.

“Trauma can kill.”

It provided a new impetus.

– Seruk…

As soon as she put her slightly peeled mask back on and began to stretch out her hand again, the hope that remained on the saintess’ face slowly began to disappear.

“There won’t be any stops along the way this time.”

“…Huh, huh.”

Then, tinged with her utter despair, I see her as she is lifted by me by the neck and struggles to her feet in her last stand.

“You didn’t stop when you killed Justia, did you?”

“Ah… Uh…”

A feeble joy began to be felt somewhere deep in the heart.

“…Did you think you wouldn’t get revenge for doing something like that?”

This time, too, it didn’t seem like it was just because of my mood.

A few minutes later.

– Jjeok…

“Uh heh…”

＞ It’s Freedom!!

As Kkyulgi’s tightly closed mouth opens wide, Dice and Pandora, whose bodies are soaked with bodily fluids and sweat, stick their heads out and begin to breathe.

“Hey, Haneul. We’re really dying like this.”

＞ It looks like it will be digested! No, before that, steamed to death!

Then, while covering their naked bodies, they hurriedly began to convince Kang Ha-neul.

“At least you can’t eat me in bed…”

＞ ……?

However, their eyes start to go blank.

“………”

It was because the saintess of the Vatican, the 7th main line they were familiar with, was spread out on the floor in a nude state.

“Sky…”

When she couldn’t feel the energy of life in such a disfigured saintess’ body, Dice quietly began to move her gaze forward.

“…Killed a man.”

Kang Ha-neul’s calm voice resonates throughout the room.

“It’s my first time.”

“”………..””

“Killing someone with my own hands.”

After saying that, he muttered with a slightly worn-out smile.

“You know. The last time this guy convulsed.”

“…Yes.”

“I laughed unconsciously.”

Kang Ha-neul’s eyes were slightly frightened.

“As expected, I must be a monster.”

And then the static began.

– Seruk…

For some reason, Dice, who slipped out of Kyureuk’s mouth and slowly walked forward despite not wearing clothes.

“…….”

Then, she stopped in front of the river sky, still shaking her hands.

“…It’s okay.”

The next moment, Dice hugs Kang Ha-neul with all his might.

“We are all monsters too.”

Her whole body was soggy and her body was cold, but the river and sky held in her arms felt so warm.

“Welcome to being a real villain.”

It was the moment when the lost hound was completely free.
