Chapter 361 – The Secret Life of a Sidekick (7)

After hearing some harsh comments from the association in the morning, an order was given to patrol the three areas included in areas I, J, K, and C all day with Impact Girl.

The reason why there is such a large area to travel around seems to be that the daytime patrols of A-class heroes will be reduced and deployed at night. When you only think about patrolling, there are times when being an A-level hero seems very difficult.

Honestly, I think the only thing better than B grade is the salary.

And today, since the area we are in charge of is large, Yuna decided to drive.

I can move directly to the scene of the incident by shadow jumping, but Impact Girl arrives by car because it wastes less energy.

If the street is wide open in a straight line, you can use instantaneous acceleration to move very quickly, but unfortunately, in areas I, J, and K, there were no such roads, or they were short.

I slowly drove around area C in the car driven by Yuna.

There were often tall buildings close to Area B, which had relatively good security, but the industrial area and outskirts were definitely less lively.

There are quite a few people who go to work in industrial areas, but I still felt like I wanted to live somewhere a little closer to the center.

“If the villain had set up there, wouldn’t it be easy to find him?”

“That’s right. The industrial area is too large.”

Because it was so wide, there were so many places to hide.

There are countless factories and mines for resource extraction, but what if you live by digging underground? Will we be able to find it if we mobilize all C-class heroes to search?

‘Uh… ? I think I can find it.’

Compared to usual, his abilities were greatly weakened. If I use the presence detection-wave or shadow that I usually use for searching, I’ll almost run out of mana.

If you don’t have enough mana, you’ll have problems when fighting, but what if you can call another hero? Wouldn’t it be okay?

‘Let’s move on for now.’

The reason I’m showing off my skills is that I got the shadow jump through my relationship with Yeon-ah, and I’m still showing off my strength, so it’s going to be even more close.

“Now we’re in Area J, we can see the crime scene.”

The car driven by Yeon-ah entered the J area where the slasher committed the incident yesterday.

In area J, close to area B where there are many buildings, the window of a café on the second floor there was broken, and a white can spray was sprayed in the shape of a fallen person underneath.

There were three sprays sprayed below. It appears that they killed two people in the café and then went outside to do more.

“Whoa… You son of a bitch…”

Impact Girl said as she passed by the scene of the incident, letting out a deep sigh within her.

“I definitely want to grab it next time.”

“Yes. Me too. I really hate evil villains who maintain their rationality like that. If they had corrected their ways a little, they might have become heroes, but why did they make that choice?”

Rather than living the life of a hero who goes on patrol over and over like a treadmill, can you stay at home, scratch your stomach, rest, and then work when you want? It’s the same with Choi Xian when he was Blaze King. Basically, villains just want to make money easily and get attention.

If you have abilities called B-class, you are often buried in the halo of A-class heroes and are evaluated as just a sidekick, but if you become a villain, you can gain notoriety that quickly.

“Let’s make sure he gets the attention he craves in prison.”

“Yes. I’d like to…”

When I patrolled with Impact Girl, I could talk about various things, but perhaps because of last night’s incident, I couldn’t talk that much.

We bought a quick sandwich to eat in the car for lunch, and as we were eating it in the car, Yuna’s expression seemed to relax a little.

“It seems quiet today, huh?”

“Yes. I guess you know that if you get caught today, you won’t be able to eat or oatmeal.”

There were no villain incidents in the morning.

Since the hero failed to catch the slasher who committed murder and disappeared last night, he seems to know that if he is caught today, it will be difficult to catch him like usual.

“I wish I wasn’t here in the afternoon…!”

After finishing the sandwich, Impact Girl stretched out in the car.

Still, looking at Yuna’s slightly brightened expression, I thought it was okay and briefly wondered if eliminating the villain with the Blaze King at night was for the sake of Yuna’s smile.

In the afternoon, a villain incident occurred.

A student ate seeds and went on a rampage, seriously injuring 10 students in his class and being arrested by the hero.

Upon hearing that news, Impact Girl’s mood sank.

And after finishing his afternoon patrol, he told me that it was time to get off work.

“Haa… Sian, would you like to have a drink today?”

“Okay then. In times like this, I should just drink a little and forget about it.”

Yuna’s house is as clean and tidy as it was when I came yesterday. It looks like she did a little tidying up while I went to buy drinks and snacks for dinner.

The table we used to eat hamburgers was spread out, so we put boneless chicken on it and piled up beer cans.

“Do you think your spending has increased a little?”

“Because we don’t have any hobbies, we end up buying a lot when we eat together like this.”

“If I overeat, will I gain weight?”

Yuyeon-ah said to me, who doesn’t need to take care of my body relatively well, as she put the plate and spoon in front of her on the table.

Three pieces of boneless chicken is a bit much for two people, but seeing Yuna eat four hamburgers yesterday, I thought it would be enough.

After she spread the chicken into bite-size portions, she opened a can of beer and made a light toast.

I poured down a cold beer with a fragrant barley scent and picked up a piece of delicious boneless chicken to eat.

As the beer passed by and the hot, fatty chicken entered my cooled throat, I felt balanced.

“Ha… Good.”

“That’s right. It’s delicious.”

We glanced at the news that we turned on to create white noise, and then we focused on each other, drank beer, and continued to eat chicken.

When she had beer and chicken until she was somewhat drunk, Yuyeon grabbed the remote control on her bed and turned off the television.

Then he got drunk and looked at me with a slightly red face and said.

“You know. I want you to do better… But I don’t want you to do too well?”

“What do you mean?”

“I want to keep you by my side, but if things go too well, I have to leave.”

It seemed like Yuna had similar thoughts to what I was thinking.

In the grand scheme of things, it would be good to become an A-class hero and relieve the burden of other heroes, but if you think narrowly, you have to have people you like by your side.

“I thought that too.”

I shook the half-full beer can slightly and held it out, and Yoona hit the beer can.

She drank the beer, which had warmed up a little by leaving it outside, and spoke.

“I also don’t want to give Impact Girl’s sidekick position to anyone else. I don’t like the thought of someone else doing this, eating at home together and picking her up again.”

“Do you think I would do that with someone else…?”

Yuyeon-ah, who was facing me, came towards me, gently pushing her head to the side.

Was the relationship between Choi Sian and Yoo Yeon-ah originally progressed to this point? Although she got a little help from alcohol, she felt that Yuyeonah had intended to advance her relationship in the first place.

I leaned over to Yoo Yeon-ah, who slowly approached me, and when I was about to kiss her while she was drinking, our smartphones rang at the same time.

When Yuyeonah blinked her eyes and pulled her body back slightly, I placed my hands on her neck and pulled.

The first kiss tasted like beer and chicken, and the scent of chicken was stronger than that of Yuyeonah, but the physical contact that felt like a hammer breaking the delicate relationship between me and Yuyeonah made me feel intoxicated and heated. 〈 Br〉

However, because the smartphone kept ringing, I had no choice but to let go of Yuna’s neck.

Yuna is looking at me with slightly unfocused eyes, so when I come to my senses and pick up my smartphone to check, it seems that a villain has appeared in Area C.

“Area C…?”

Kwaaang!

There was a sound of something exploding outside, and Yuna, who heard the sound, immediately got up from her seat and ran to the bathroom.

While listening to Yuyeonah brushing her teeth, she couldn’t help but say something to the villain who caused the incident.

“Those damn bastards.”

After quickly brushing her teeth, Yuyeonah came out and immediately picked up Impact Girl’s hero suitcase.

“Are you going to go right away? Are you okay with drinking?”

“There’s nothing you can do about it even if you’re a little drunk, right? Because the villain is calling the hero from over there.”

“That’s right.”

Just because the hero rested, that didn’t mean the villain rested.

“I’m waiting. I’ll finish it soon.”

“Don’t get hurt and come back.”

After hearing my words, Yuyeonah nodded and ran outside, and I turned on the television while biting into the remaining chicken.

“It’s nice to be able to rest at night.”

I watched the villain scene being broadcast live on the news.

Fire was spewing out from both fingertips like a flamethrower, and the C-class heroes were blocking the attack by putting up shields, but it seemed quite difficult to approach due to the heat.

The surroundings are surrounded to prevent escape, but no A-level heroes have arrived to reliably subdue the villain.

“I see Flashman.”

Flash Man walked around among the C-class heroes, emitting bright light from his fingertips, continuously blocking the villain’s vision and directing the attack towards him, but that didn’t change anything.

Even if Impact Girl lives in Area C, the A-class hero has not arrived yet as she patrols.

When the fire emitting from the villain’s arms weakened a little, the heroes quickly approached and tried to subdue him, but flames spewed out from all over his body.

In a situation where all the approaching heroes flew away, Impact Girl appeared wearing a hero suit with red accents.

Impact Girl, who broke through the barrier created by the heroes, quickly approached the villain and delivered an uppercut.

With an uppercut containing the power of instantaneous acceleration, the suit-wearing villain soared into the sky, and when it reached the highest point, Impact Girl jumped up using the instantaneous acceleration and then slammed the villain down with her heel.

Kwaaaaang!!!

Dust was flying around as it was struck so powerfully that it broke the floor.

“You mean I have to beat that Impact Girl…?”

Can possession return?
