The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 104
Episode 104
It’s been a while since I had a drink with Oh Jong-yeop.
The guy who was a villain in his last life has changed a lot in this life.
His deceased younger brother, Oh Jong-su, was alive and well, and he was highly anticipated as a promising civil servant hunter for the National Defense Bureau.
Since he was originally a talented guy, this was a natural step. Is it because I am less desperate than in my last life? The speed at which my skills improved seemed slow.
“Congratulations on your promotion.”
“It’s still a low salary. If I had known this would happen, I should have gone to the guild. “I came with a friend, but he left shortly after.”
I say it with a bitter smile, but please don’t tell me that I don’t mean it.
Was it something like that? I felt like I wasn’t getting enough treatment, so I tried to pass it on to Dahyun Jeong.
I didn’t mind because he was out of sight for a moment, but Oh Jong-yeop was doing very well. He recently met a girlfriend, and he said she was a good person and that his life had changed a lot.
I want to work hard like this to make money and get married.
Slash’s Oh Jong-yeop is getting married, which is a development I didn’t expect.
I thought going to a wedding would be a very strange feeling.
“Thanks to you. “If you hadn’t helped me that day, I would have been in trouble.”
“I know.”
“But is it your father or your mother who said you owed it? “I still don’t know.”
What did I say? I don’t even remember anymore.
“I think he’s either my uncle or my aunt.”
“···Then that’s right. “I didn’t even think you would obediently tell me.”
“If you know, don’t ask more.”
The guy sighed deeply. Then he spoke with a determined expression.
“My skills are far below yours, but if you need anything, I can call you at any time. “I would give up at least one arm for you.”
“You didn’t risk your life?”
“Isn’t it a bit harsh to ask someone you’re in the middle of a relationship to give up his life? “My life is not mine anymore.”
“I wasn’t interested anyway.”
There is no way I would ever covet the life of a friend who died with a smile in his last life twice.
If you find your own happiness, that is enough.
I was just curious what he would think of me now.
“by the way.”
“huh?”
“What would you think if I went crazy and became a villain?”
There was no way that would happen, but I was curious what Oh Jong-yeop would think.
The guy looked confused for a moment and then asked me.
“Do you really think you’re sane right now?”
“Are you saying I’m not crazy?”
This kid is crossing the line.
“···No, if you think you’re normal, it can’t be helped. First of all, if that happens, you have to go and persuade them, right? “Because I believe you will return to normal.”
“okay.”
It was quite comforting to hear that he would not give up on me until the end.
In my last life, Oh Jong-yeop stayed by my side.
I thought it was a great achievement just to confirm that, but I didn’t expect the guy’s expression to improve.
“If you have a real problem, tell me. “I will quietly find a way.”
“No problem.”
“No, hiding it doesn’t work…”
“do you want to die?”
“······.”
As I accept it, I don’t know the end.
How dare you treat people like crazy.
I am the most normal person around me.
No matter how much I say, there are times when I feel lonely because no one believes me.
“I want to do volunteer work, can you recommend a good place?”
“Suddenly volunteer work?”
This guy has no idea about the fulfillment that volunteer work brings.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I had indirect experience as I heard about it from Dahyun Jeong.
“To brighten the mood and have a positive influence. And doesn’t the word ‘service’ suit me well?”
“···Surely the service I know isn’t about catching villains and turning them into service?”
“Are you crazy?”
“Phew, I’m glad. The line hasn’t been crossed yet. “I’m so glad.”
“······.”
His words were annoying, but after some urging, I was able to introduce a few places.
* * *
Actually, I knew that taking some pictures while doing volunteer work would improve my image, but I wondered if it was really necessary.
I think changing my mood is more important than that.
Although I pretended not to, I was very concerned that the presence of a hematoma was lurking within me.
But if this causes confusion and pain, that’s what he wants. Rather, you have to show that you are firm and unwavering so that he will be in pain.
It is said that they are looking for openings in a small space 24 hours a day.
It was a mistake on your part to say that.
I’ll show you how to enjoy it.
Therefore, it is a good idea to maintain good mental health and educate Mandeuk to prevent him from coming out and strengthen his mental defenses.
In that sense, volunteer work was good for clearing away distracting thoughts.
There is no point in being complicated when it comes to giving to others. I’m not looking for popularity or money for it, so I just have to give purely to myself. There is no need for complex calculations here.
I can’t be the only one who enjoys this good thing.
So, when I went to an orphanage to volunteer, I took Berserker with me.
When I got into it, I really liked the camping car.
“Do you know when you were happiest when you first encountered a camping car?”
“When?”
“That’s when my camper was sold.”
“What do you mean?”
“Happiness is when you don’t know. by the way.”
Berserker, who was holding the steering wheel, narrowed his eyes and looked at me.
“Why do I have to be your driver?”
“My car is small. “Your car is big, so it’s good to load it up with gifts.”
“You can do that by using someone else, so why did you call me?”
“It is my consideration to want you, who would kill people and only experience moments of stardom, to experience new fulfillment through service. How long are you going to stay crazy? “You should think about becoming normal like me quickly.”
“······.”
The Berserker guy’s eyes were very disrespectful when he looked at me.
Should I gouge out my eyes?
I thought about that for a moment, but quickly put it aside.
I’m going to do sacred service, but I can’t see the blood of a crazy person.
Moreover, eyeballs cannot be regenerated even with healing agents.
“I’m just kidding, I just learned a new way to use gifts. You wouldn’t have been playing quietly either. “We should check with each other.”
“I feel like I’m being treated like a punching bag.”
“If they use it, say thank you.”
“Of course. “I’ll take this opportunity to twist your arm.”
…I’m sure it wasn’t long ago that people were talking about killing him or cutting off his head, but isn’t it a bit naive to just twist one of his arms?
It seems like things have changed in reality.
I don’t know if I should be happy for understanding this topic or if I should criticize him for not having ambition.
Meanwhile, we arrived at our destination.
“Then let’s go.”
I entered the orphanage carrying the gift I had prepared with Berserker.
Hope Orphanage is a place where children who lost their families to monsters live, and the government is careful to prevent the children from becoming villains or refugees when they grow up.
Seeing things like this made me think that my taxes were being used properly.
I first said hello to the director and teachers.
When I announced my intention to donate, they were very happy. It’s only 1/100th of the amount I originally planned to pay. I had no choice but to actively discourage people around me and reduce it.
I’ll have to increase it a little more next time.
“Wow!”
After saying hello, I went outside and handed over the gifts I had prepared, and the kids were happy and started clinging to me.
I don’t usually like children, but if someone is happy because I give them what I have in abundance, it’s a good thing.
I don’t know if this is the true taste of service.
Are my emotions dry or am I just having a hard time understanding it because it’s my first time?
I didn’t feel the fullness that Dahyun Jeong talked about, but one thing was clear.
It’s not a bad thing to be able to take a break from complicated issues for a while. It was okay for the kids to like me. Although it seemed like he liked the gift, not me exactly.
I curled up the corners of my mouth as I looked at Berserker standing to one side.
“Look, this is true service.”
“Heh!”
“Smile?”
Are you going to fight?
However, the Berserker guy did not erase his unlucky smile.
“It would be a mistake to think that you can gain the world with just a few gifts.”
“······.”
Is this kid starting a fight now?
Berserker, paying no heed to my gaze, picked up the child next to him who looked to be about 7 years old and suddenly threw him upwards.
Crazy guy, there’s no way a kid would like something like that…
“Karrrr!”
···You like it?
That wasn’t the end.
The children’s eyes lit up when they saw Berserker playing, and they began to gather in that direction.
“and! me too!”
“Let me do it too!”
“I’ll do everything for you, so get in line.”
Berserker started throwing the kids one by one. In an instant, Berserker became the center of the orphanage. As soon as the kids gathered around, Berserker took off half of it and handed it to me.
“That guy can do it too. “Ask for it.”
“mister! “Please do it too!”
“me too! mister!”
“······.”
Suddenly, I hugged the children who had gathered and started throwing them around.
Does this mean defeat?
I spent the money, but Berserker took all the spotlight.
Playing with the kids afterwards was a complete loss.
Berserker was a specialist who could make children laugh at their level.
I never would have thought that just shouting “poop!” would make me laugh out loud.
I didn’t know that dinosaurs were all-purpose for boys.
Why are there so many Saurus?
If I want to beat him, do I have to memorize the dinosaur encyclopedia?
Berserker looks at me and smiles like a winner. Unlucky. But I was also jealous. I never thought you would have such a specialty.
“It’s a difference in endurance. Even though it looks like this, it is someone who has raised a child.”
Yes, you are good.
Now that I think about it, I realized that I was indifferent to his personal history.
“Don’t you want to see your wife and children?”
“···Sometimes it’s better to let everything go.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You will find out when you get married.”
“I’m asking because I haven’t tried it before.”
Why are you suddenly looking at me with such envy?
“Marriage is a very good thing. “I would highly recommend it.”
Why are you talking through gritted teeth?
Are you happy with your marriage?
“You must do it.”
* * *
If I were to describe Berserker, he would be a rude guy.
Endless fighting spirit.
A firm goal to catch a glimpse of stellar moments.
Talent and effort to make up for what is lacking.
Solid tenacity.
In this regard, he was a useful sparring partner.
If Dahyun Jeong had no choice but to adjust her strength, there was no need to do so with Berserker.
Even if you pour out your life generously, he somehow survives.
There was even an appropriate amount of tension here.
Above all, it is decisive that I win in the end.
After all, a match is only fun if you win.
“You’re stronger than last time.”
“······.”
The guy lying in the large position just took a deep breath and did not respond. Even if your heart is crushed, you’ll be fine because I sprayed you with recovery medicine.
Could it be that he was sulking?
Now that I think about it, I had some fun in this match. He also fought hard, but after a while he collapsed without any solution.
“···How strong do you plan on becoming?”
“You can’t kill someone with just one more tool.”
“It feels like the gap has widened further!”
The guy who was sighing got up and looked at me.
“I heard you got caught up with the Witch Doctor.”
“uh.”
“How was it?”
“It was pretty strong. “The curse was tricky.”
Because of that curse, a hematoma appeared.
The guy still asked with a serious expression.
“How does it compare to me?”
Berserker and Witch Doctor?
Berserker’s basic combat power is stronger. He is the one who survived me, so it’s only natural. And when it comes to gifts, they are polar opposites. I don’t know what Berserker’s full advantage is, but he can have an absolute advantage when it comes to curses.
Looking at it this way, it seemed like a fraud.
We need to make Mandeuk look cute.
“I think you’ll win.”
“First of all, have we reached that level?”
“You look happy?”
“Because he is a zodiac sign and not another superhuman.”
“Was the goal the 12 signs?”
To me, he had a strong feeling that he was the best of the three evils in the league, but I guess that’s not the case for Berserker.
Well, there were a lot of people who were surprised when Constantina was killed.
“It was the primary goal. “Now I have set a higher goal.”
Then he glared at me with provocative eyes.
Are you protesting because your target is me?
Have you hit it yet?
“One more round if you have any strength left?”
“I don’t mind. “I can barely stand even now.”
Even though I’m crazy, there’s still a glimmer of reason left.
Actually, I’ve done everything I wanted to do, so there’s no point in beating on it any more.
Anything more than this is a one-sided act of violence.
“So you brought me here to test its power?”
“That’s one of the reasons. “I want to ask you to do something else.”
I still think I’m not going crazy. And I’m sure it won’t be eaten by the hematoma.
However, the thing we must be most wary of as we live in this world is confidence.
Just as I never thought that Constantina’s curse would give me up to the hematomas, even if only for a moment.
The possibility of what if exists everywhere.
Even if it was a 0.01% chance, if I went crazy, it was 100% to me.
So I’m thinking of getting insurance.
“Let’s come forward and spar regularly. “It makes you stronger.”
“What is your intention?”
“Do my intentions matter? “You want to become stronger? Use me to achieve your goal.”
“I’m saying this because I know you’re not someone who will be taken advantage of.”
Berserker’s expression also became serious.
This is why I couldn’t just ignore it.
When I scolded him as usual, the weight of the request I was about to make was not light.
I don’t feel like it, but I have to tell you.
“I’m normal now, but I don’t know if I’ll go crazy at any moment.”
The look on Berserker’s face when he looked at me was a sight to behold.
This kid is talking seriously…
Anyway, I didn’t have the confidence to watch the bloodbath as it unfolded after being eaten by a blood species.
“When that time comes, kill me.”
This is what I want from Berserker.
Maybe Berserker has some potential?
“······.”
I spoke seriously, but Berserker’s expression was strange.
“You guy…”
“why?”
“Did you want to threaten me by saying such absurd things?”
“what?”
What is he talking about?
I’m serious now.
“Tell me you’d rather be beaten up more.”
“······.”
That’s because I said it wasn’t like that.
But I didn’t know that Berserker’s suspicions toward me would be erased.
So you think I’m saying this because I want to beat you up even more?
···It’s unfair.
