Chapter 2 – #1 a New Beginning for a Fallen Villain (1)
――As for life, once bad things start to happen, it seems to have a tendency to fall endlessly.
Some say that the sum of happiness and unhappiness in any life eventually converges to zero.
If bad things happen, good things happen, so don’t worry.
If good things happen, bad things will happen, so prepare in advance.
But am I the only one who feels that this is not the case in reality?
Once you start to feel unhappiness, new misfortunes come endlessly, and there’s no helping hand from God. It’s that kind of feeling.
It’s funny that I, a villain in the first place, want God to save me.
On the contrary, should I say that I have been punished by God for the bad things I have done until now….
‘I still thought I’d lived a good life for a villain.’
‘A good villain.’
He said he was the self-proclaimed worst villain, but he didn’t do anything beyond the line.
Even if he did some bad things, he did not cross the line of respect for children and the elderly.
How many people in the world are worse than me!
Even the villains who commit crimes on a larger scale are living well while laughing!
But why is this only happening to me!
If you don’t become a villain, you live so desperately that you have no way to live.
Even after becoming a villain, he was beaten back and forth by the goddamn boss of this fucking organization, barely surviving and enduring with a salary the size of a rat’s tail.
The number of subordinates increased like that, and the value of my name increased in its own way, and I thought I could barely breathe and live!
Now, in moderation, I wonder if another organization will scout me,
I was secretly waiting with excitement, expecting an annual salary that would be five times higher than now!
By the way!
Why did things suddenly turn out like this!
This is nonsense!

“… I wrote an appeal with the feeling that it was.”
“So what are you going to do with me?”
The hideout of the villain organization 【Abyss】, its office space.
This morning, I returned after wandering away from the organization for a while.
Immediately after washing for a while, I received a personal call from the boss,
With the momentum to strike the ball before hearing something bitter from the boss,
Just before that, I handed out a written appeal to the boss with all my heart.
Please read this before you say anything.
I asked so earnestly,
The boss who sat across from me with the desk in between accepted it with a disapproving expression.
Boss Violet,
The woman in front of me, younger than me, read it slowly while wearing thin-rimmed glasses.
Then he looked at me with eyes wondering what he was thinking.
Those eyes are very goofy.
It is written with all sincerity and sincerity….
“No, it’s nothing else, but if it’s the boss’s ability… I wondered if I could reach my constellation or even the god in the sky. Can you speak for me?”
It’s not different, it’s not that I don’t think it would be possible with her ability as her as the boss and Awakener of this organization.
Looking at it from the side, it is an ability that is close to omnipotence.
“There are a lot of people, you. I lost sight of him for a while, and my head completely went crazy.”
No, I’m not just saying it without thinking.
Even though I feel like I’m grabbing at least a straw because I’m crowded now.
Still, if it’s the boss’s ability, it’s somehow possible, so I’m asking seriously.
Something… So… With a good feeling… If you do it like this… As for the boss’ ability… Seems to be… It doesn’t seem like it will… That feeling….
“Stop talking nonsense! Do you even say that when you know what my abilities are!”
“No, that’s it, try it, boss! You’re an Awakener! Take this opportunity to wake up to something new that you don’t know yet! A real boss is my last lifeline!”
“……… You’re really ugly now…”
“I know!”
But now I’m desperate enough to hang on like this.
――It has been about two months since I lost my ability.
I was beaten by that goddamn constellation, and my bones were fractured in more than 10 places by that goddamn hero who looked down on me until now.
I managed to escape thanks to the devoted sacrifices of my subordinates, but after that I tried everything I could to regain my abilities.
I bought a lot of power stones with constellations engraved on them with all my property.
Go to a gut, try fortune telling, and even visit a church you haven’t been to since graduating from elementary school.
Even so, there was no solution, so I went into the mountains and practiced waterfall training, and became a natural person and did survival.
Even after doing all that, nothing came back.
When I came back after wandering around, the organization had already half collapsed and most of the members had left.
Who simply resigned.
The one who was eventually captured by the heroes.
For these and other reasons.
The hideout is alive and well, but only the people crowded inside have disappeared.
After facing that emptiness, I came to think that it really shouldn’t be like this.
I felt responsible.
Just like the boss said―― I was definitely crowded.
To myself after making things like this, to my twisted life like this, to the world that seems to hold me back… Really, I’m angry.
“… But number 13. This appeal, this “Damned boss” Here, are you referring to me?”
“No, well, it could be someone else.”
“Above you, no. 2 in this organization, is there another boss besides me?”
“…….”
“And you waited for the scout with a throbbing heart? Well written here. Huh? Do you think you don’t want to receive your current salary?”
“… What… Did I say something like that?”
I thought it was written smoothly, as if the god of writing had descended, but now that I think about it, I can’t even remember what I wrote. You just used up everything inside. …I really wrote something.
“Still, Boss! Even if I go to another organization, I have no intention of abandoning the boss! When I was economically stable as possible, I was only proud to live while supporting my boss!”
“Who said you would grow up in your hands? Stupid And I make more than five times your annual salary.”
“…… I’m No. 2 in the organization, aren’t I being overworked?”
“Huh. Just be grateful that you are still giving.”
Violet frowned and tapped the table with her fingers.
It was a displeased face, but it was slightly red.
“(What kind of proposal is that….)”
“Boss, I couldn’t hear you well because it was so small. What did you say?”
“Noisy. Shut up. …Than that.”
Violet looked over the desk and she held out a piece of paper to me.
“Read it.”
It seems that today’s call was for this reason.
“… In the [Villain Alliance]….”
【Villain Union】.
A huge group consisting of large and small domestic villain organizations, including the villain organization [Abyss] To which I belong.
In particular, no one organization dominates all,
All organizations to which they belong have equal rights,
Those in charge of each organization meet regularly to hold meetings to maintain the alliance.
Villain organization belonging to the coalition can receive many benefits.
From the financing of funds to the preparation of the hideout building, each organization can focus on its own specialty because it is an alliance where various types of villain organizations are gathered.
In addition, you can create a false identity, or be protected from being identified through information manipulation….
In any case, it would be difficult for Villains to live a proper life without the help of this alliance.
The [Villain Alliance] Is indispensable to me as well as to this organization….
“Forced resignation… Called?”
“It’s just a plan for now. … At least until the next meeting, if you don’t do something, you will definitely be expelled.”
Union protection disappears.
That’s a big deal.
“It is natural. In the first place, our organization has a short history and almost no personal connections. … Even the results that were there, it would be difficult to expect any more. More than anything–“
Seeing through the glasses, those intelligent eyes glanced at me.
It was not difficult to understand what that gaze meant.
I had nothing to say, so I had to be silent.
“The next meeting is in a week.
Until then, if you don’t do anything, you’ll probably be kicked out unanimously on the spot.
In the current situation where the prestige of heroes is getting stronger,
There must be no reason to embrace a useless organization.”
“Then.”
“I was just saying yes. It’s not like I’m asking you to be responsible.”
Violet takes off her glasses,
He brushed up his purple hair and replied as if it didn’t matter.
As if there was no need for me to be burdened, in the same calm tone as usual.
“Within this week, I plan to risk my life to fight the 7th Division. There’s no future if we get out of the alliance’s protection anyway, so I’ll just die with a hero as my companion.”
――You, do whatever you want.
――There is no need to follow me.
Saying so, Boss Violet didn’t force or ask for anything in particular.
Just like that, he sent me out of the office.
(Violet)
* * *
It’s frustrating in many ways.
I think I know the reason, but the fact that I can’t do anything is too heavy.
To think that this happened while I was getting hit by a waterfall and doing stupid things.
As long as I live as a villain in the first place, it’s not like I was wasting my life… It’s not a joke, so I’m ready to die at any time. Both I and the boss must have done everything.
Still, there was no way I could understand something like that so easily.
“So, help me, Dorosimmon!”
“Who is Dorosimmon? I wondered if a beggar had come to visit, but he was saying that as soon as he came because it was not enough to meet him in a month.”
A white coat with short, curly hair. Above all, a woman with a youthful appearance with prominent dark circles.
Dorothy.
Not because the name is foreign,
Her last name her is’Do’and her name her is’Rossi’, a name that carefully doubts her parents her’naming sense,
An excellent doctor and scientist in our organization, like the boss, he was an Awakener.
Most of her abilities are concentrated in her genius her,
With her brain, she created many of her inventions that would far surpass her centuries…
Her physical specifications of her are equal to or worse than those of ordinary people.
Not all Awoken are monsters suitable for battle.
Likewise, the boss’s ability, which is considered fraudulent, is actually not good enough to be used in battle.
“Don’t stick to it! He went to the mountain a month ago, saying, “I will receive the energy of the sky,” And as soon as he saw something, he was holding on to a person’s leg and clinging to it Aren’t you embarrassing?!”
“Please, please help me~~~!! I mean, there’s only you! Not even a boss! Then I have no one to rely on but you, a genius scientist with a strange brain!”
“Someone says the head is weird.”
Dorothy told me to fall, and I trampled her face with her feet in her slippers.
But she can’t fall.
“Please… Please, Dorothy! It’s between you and me! Now I have no one to cling to but you!”
As I groped and stroked those thin legs in thin denim stockings, I screamed desperately.
It can’t be like this.
You can’t let the boss die!
“Don’t sexually harass people while pretending to be serious! Don’t fumble on other people’s legs! They really kill you?!”
“Please help me before I lick your legs through your stockings like this! Help!”
“You look like a real dog!”
Puck puck!
Now, clinging to my last line of salvation, the white-clad genius scientist, I just desperately clung to it, whether it was unsightly or not.
“Okay! You can help! Get away you pervert! Away!!”
At last, after the words of her surrender her had fallen from Dorothy’s mouth her, I managed to free her leg her.
