Hero Defeated by Evil 321

Chapter 321 – #3-13 Colleagues, Betrayal (1)

… … … …
… …
…

“… So, what happened?”

With a click, Violet asked as she lifted the cup filled with coffee.
Her expression looks very uncomfortable, and her hand holding the glass is shaking as if to prove her embarrassment.

The lounge of the villain organization [Abyss].
In the center of the lounge, there are several figures sitting around a sofa with a table between them.
One of them is Violet, and on the other side is No. 13 and a woman named Ashe, who is said to be the captain of the hero unit.
Dorothy sits next to Violet, and Dorothy looks at No. 13 with cold eyes, silently questioning her.

“It is as I have just explained. Yes.”
“I am Ashe, who decided to become the exclusive slave of the young Seo-Bang and join this organization! The captain of the 4th division is me at this time, so I am an unemployed person with no title! So feel free to use me~!”

Narrow eyes, braided hair.
Originally, she was a woman who was the captain of the 4th Division, but in the future, both heroes and villains were almost a mess, and Ashe was also completely unemployed.
So, whether in the future or here, as an independent, she declares that she will do her best as a villain.

“… No… Something like that… Oh, the coffee is delicious.”
“Boss. Don’t divert the topic. There is no escape from reality… Oh, but it’s really good, coffee.”

The two of them drank coffee from Apple, each with a subtle expression on his face.
These two find out how Ashe came to be here, what her purpose is, and what condition she is now… I’ve heard all explanations about it.

However, even so, it does not seem to be convincing in various ways.
It’s because we were revealing our hostility to kill each other yesterday and today.
If you suddenly said something like this, I wouldn’t be able to accept it so easily…

‘Now then, how should I explain further…’

I have no idea how to convince him anymore, even as No. 13.
Because he is also one of those people who are embarrassed by sudden things.
It’s also because his head still hasn’t been properly organized.

The reason I introduced the two of them like this is because I thought that if I confided in them, my thoughts would be sorted out.
But even after talking, I still don’t know.

What the hell happened
And what else will happen in the future…

“Good. I’ll give you a hundred feet for now, and I’ll believe what you two say.”
“Hey~ Thanks, new boss!”
“Don’t call me that way… No, put your hands away… He’s in his mid-30s… Why are you doing this…”

When Haché reacted loudly, making a V with her hands, her Violet put her coffee cup down and shook her head.
At the attitude of Ashe, who is much older than herself, her Violet seems to be in trouble.

Currently, Ashe and No. 13 have a difference of roughly 6 years, and Violet is 3 years younger than No. 13.
It’s almost 10 years difference, I think.

“What… Considering the circumstances, I don’t think it’s unbelievable. And since No. 13 said that the brainwashing work was finished… Then there won’t be any problems.”
“Is it so! New boss the best! I am a female slave who loves Mr. 13 West!”
“Please, please, stay still… ! You can’t talk about it, you’re in your 30s!”
“Ah, it seems like yesterday when I was in my 20s too… I’m still 18 at heart…”

By the time she said that, perhaps her heart had already grown old, thought the thirteenth next to her with a philosophical view.
Violet doesn’t seem to be familiar with Ashe’s attitude or attitude.

Nonetheless, Violet did her best to calm the atmosphere down a bit, and Violet continued the conversation.
What Ashe will experience in the future, what will happen from now on in this timeline… Such things.
Although it is not completely reliable under the circumstances, but it is a matter of listening and judging, which is not the same as not listening at all.

“——So, we don’t know the exact culprit. I’m sorry I couldn’t give you proper information about that part.”
“However, to hear from the future Mr. Seo, everything started with a ‘some note’ ​​that the boss received during this time. The person who sent that email must be the same person who is messing with the future.”

Ashe finished the explanation like that.
The future Ashe didn’t know anything, and she was in a position where she was just being taken advantage of.

When I noticed her, her situation was irreversibly reaching a dead end, and everything was out of order and sacrificed before she could use her hand.
That’s why there’s no such thing as too much useful information.

“… Still, it’s good that you, a captain-level spec, give me strength. Assuming that in the future, exactly what you said will happen… We can investigate this side more actively.”

However, even if there are people with such specifications, it is unknown whether they can be used well.
As Violet was educated in a conglomerate family, she is a woman who is good at things like management, financing, and leadership of an organization, but in her own way.
However, she is inexperienced in war. She has no education, so it’s no wonder.

It is the role of the staff to deal with these things, but there was no staff, so the hole was very large.

‘Still, the boss trusts me better than I thought.’
‘I thought it would take a little longer to convince them.’

Number 13 looked at it as if it were surprising.
She is basically a delicate, discreet, and irritatingly sensitive person.
How could she get by without digging deep with such lax explanations?

The last time in the warehouse and the brainwashing this time might have changed something in Violet’s mind.
Her trust in No. 13 has increased a little…

Sniff

“Ah, Mr. 13. Would you like some coffee?”

With a sigh of relief at No. 13, she picked up a coffee cup that hadn’t touched her until now.
Then, seeing that, Ashe asked again.

“… You should drink it before it gets cold. Coffee from Apple is really good.”
“Yes. I thought it smelled good too.”

Ashe speaks in a very pleasant manner.
Then, she goes on and on with a very random topic.

“Come to think of it, Miss 13. I have a question for you.”
“What?”
“Didn’t Mr. 13 of this time period use up all of his mana in a decisive battle with the boss just a while ago?”
“Yes.”
“Then, I can’t use No. 13’s [Resurrection], That cheat-level ability, either?”
“… That’s right. So it’s dangerous It eats up a lot of mana, so I have to work hard for the next three days… You’re busy.”

No. 13 said that with a languid expression, and brought her coffee cup close to her mouth.
And.

It rattles!

Turn up

The table they were sitting on was pushed around.
The mouth of the coffee that was brought close to No. 13’s mouth was blocked by someone’s hand.

“… … What are you doing?”
“…”
“What are you doing, Dorothy?.”

Number 13 speaks with a nonchalant and cold gaze.
The coffee No. 13 was about to drink just now was blocked by the hand covering the entrance, and instead of falling into his mouth, it fell between the table and the sofa.

The coffee has been out for a while, but it’s still hot enough to steam.
Even though I’m blocking it with my hands, there’s nothing to clean up.

Dorothy.
A scientist with blue eyes and hair, white coat and monocle.
A reliable colleague who gave No. 13 the lifeline of brainwashing pills and brainwashing tools.
Always languid, but with a tsundere-like attitude, he sold out No. 13 and scolded… That kind of person.

Such Dorothy pushed the table and stretched out her body.
He was blocking the coffee cup of No. 13 with a stern expression he had never seen before.

As if you shouldn’t drink the contents…

* * *

“Roads, cities… ? Uh… ?”

Violet, who was sitting side by side with Dorothy, blinked at the sudden action and asked.

To Violet’s question, Dorothy doesn’t answer.
Instead, he only directs a stern gaze towards No. 13.

“… No. 13, take this down. Don’t drink.”
“Why? He said the coffee was delicious. I want to drink too.”
“… Because it’s done! Don’t drink!”

In an angry voice Dorothy had never heard before, she urged Room 13.
No. 13 just stares at Dorothy’s attitude.

About half of the contents of the tilted coffee cup had already fallen to the floor, being blocked by Dorothy’s hand.
Not only was it quite hot, maybe even burned, but Dorothy still didn’t remove his hand.

Watching the confrontation between the two, Ashe, who was by his side, spoke.

“Why did you stop it, a scientist from this organization?”
“… You, this child…”
“Mr. Apple brewed this coffee, but you brought it, Dorothy, right? All right, all right. Yes.”

Hachee picked up her coffee cup in front of her, tilted it, and sprayed it on her floor.

“——I must have been poisoned. I couldn’t have made you drink it.”
“Yes? I don’t know what to say.”
“You said that I came from the future before serving this coffee, right? Shortly thereafter, Dorothy left unnaturally to prepare coffee.”
“So, is the coffee poisoned like this?”
“I drank poison and died on the spot. Mr. 13 will be revived, but before he fully recovers Because you can run away.”
“Did you think so?”
“What do you think, Dorothy?”
“Am I right, Dorothy?”
“Hey, Dorothy.”
“Answer.”
“Answer, please Dorothy.”

Asher asks.
Ashe asks.
Ashe asks.

While slightly opening his eyes in a relaxed atmosphere.
Beneath it, he glared at Dorothy with piercing eyes.
With a relaxed smile on her lips, Hachee interrogates Dorothy…
