Chapter 400 – #3-Epilogue the Splendid Days of the Bastard Villain Continue Like That (2)
During the previous battle with Rahe, Unit 13 regained its former strength with the help of Future Ashe.
Originally impossible.
However, Future Ashe showed a miracle of returning the power of Unit 13 by overcoming limit after limit with her will, and using 【Time Manipulation】 magic while reducing her lifespan.
Thanks to that, No. 13 was able to defeat Rahe.
Thanks to that, the future where I almost lost everything miserably changed.
Of course, that miracle didn’t last long, and now all the magic has been dispelled and Number 13 has returned to being the child of a powerless third-rate villain.
Considering the future and the future steps of the villain organization [Abyss], The existence of Ashera in the future will be very important.
If there is only the future Ashe who can return the power like this time in case of emergency, Number 13 will probably not be afraid of anything anymore.
Or, there is no need to restore Unit 13’s power by reducing its lifespan… As long as it’s not a non-standard opponent like Rahe, you can defeat almost any enemy by keeping only the future Ashe by your side.
… Even if it’s not that, I just want to keep it by my side.
She is such a good woman, Ashe.
The future Ashe, not the current Ashe, was a good woman to the point of regretting for No. 13.
She’s smart, well-spoken, flexible, nice, kind…
So, I wanted to keep her by my side.
So she thought it would be okay if she continued her life as it is now.
I think so.
Thinking
Think again
After all, Decided to make this decision which was against her own wishes.
“… Do what you want, Ashe. After taking this neutralizer and returning to my senses… And if you want to stay here, just stay.”
“If that’s not the case, if you want to stay here even after taking the neutralizer.”
“If you say you don’t want to go back to the [Future world] Where things are messed up.”
“In that case, you can just stay here. I’ll give you the brainwashing pills just in case.”
Number 13 held out a vial containing a neutralizing agent to Ashe and said so.
—Future Ashe is definitely a big help.
However, if she monopolizes her, she will feel sorry for her future self.
Furthermore, since the future Ashe had been helping No. 13 ever since their first meeting, she was on No. 13’s side.
So, she can’t trample on her will and let it be her own tool.
In the case of the heroes that No. 13 has been brainwashing so far, they were enemies who tried to end No. 13’s life in the first place, so I didn’t pay much attention to how they rolled and rolled and rolled them.
However, in the case of the future Ashe, who was on the side of #13 from the beginning to the end, he was reluctant to treat her like other heroes as her enemies.
Number 13 also has a conscience.
It is a villain, but a villain has a philosophy of a villain.
Therefore.
“—Drink, Ashe.”
No. 13 firmly ordered that.
Now, future Ashe is brainwashed by No. 13, and she obeys all of his orders.
Now, at her behest, she is taking the contents of that vial…
“Here, I’ll give it back.”
“Huh?”
And.
At the neutralizer that Mirai Ashe put down in front of No. 13, No. 13, who was tilting his wine glass, opened her eyes wide.
Future Ashe’s eyes were closed or open, but she stood up from her seat with a relaxed smile on her face.
Then, in a corner of Room 13’s closet, in her clothes that she had arranged and put away at will SomethingTook out
It’s a transparent bottle.
The small, transparent, cylindrical glass bottle was the same as the bottle containing the neutralizing agent that No. 13 was holding out.
If there is a difference, The fact that there is no contentIs it about
“Don’t worry, I’m not so clumsy that a girl like me would be taken away by a young Seo-Bang-nim——the future Seo-Bang-nim.”
Seeing the playful smile of the future Ashe, #13 sighed while holding his head.
* ***
Future Ashe crossed over to this time period and was brainwashed by Unit 13 of this time period.
As #13, it was difficult for her to fully believe her words that she had come from the future and that she was on the side of #13.
So let’s put her on her own side for sure, her No. 13 brainwashed her.
However, the future No. 13 knew very well that No. 13 would do the same.
It’s her own business, so it’s only natural.
And knowing that it is necessary,
“That’s why I told you this before I came over.”
Future Hachee twirls her empty neutralizer bottle in her hand, she says.
She felt a tremendous sense of betrayal for Number 13, but he couldn’t complain because she had done it himself.
“How is it? Future West, very smart and cool, right? Isn’t that great?”
“… Ha. Am I stupid here or am I smart over there?”
“It may be both. Because when I first met Seo-Bang-nim, he was really an idiot. It’s all thanks to this me, that the future Seobangnim will also be able to play the role of a human being.”
Ashe said so confidently.
Is she not aware that she is in front of her eyes?
Anyway, yes.
In the end, she said that what No. 13 had just done was meaningless and meaningless.
Future Number 13 has already written her hand to keep his possessions from being taken away, to keep the woman he loves from being taken away.
What is comforting is that, according to Mirae Ashe, it was at most a few days ago that she took the ‘neutralizing agent’.
In her previous raid, she remained a brainwashed slave of Unit 13 to avoid confusion.
If she had returned to her senses before then, had No. 13 continued to enslave such a future Hachee.
If so, she might have come to ridicule or despise No. 13 internally.
… What is the point of thinking about it now?
“I ate a room. Both for you and for the future me.”
“It’s okay, West. If time passes like this, this side of the West will be able to become as smart and cool as our West.”
I assure you, Ashe said confidently.
Without the help of brainwashing drugs, I admire my future self who made me fall in love with that Ashe like this.
—A woman like me really can’t handle it.
Number 13 shook his head and thought of such a thought.
Finally, with a sigh, I asked Ashe.
“Then Ashe. … Are you going back to the future?”
“I will go back.”
Assert
Future Ashe said that while stroking her own belly with her warm smile.
Thanks to Ashe in her underwear, the smooth and constricted shape of her belly that she touches comes into #13’s eyes as it is.
Faint traces remain on the ship, ‘Pregnancy line’, Ashe gently caresses it with her hand.
I wish I could but…
“By any chance, do you have any children with me?”
“… Whoops.”
Ashe didn’t bother to answer.
However, that silence, that smile was already giving the answer.
Awakeners cannot make children unless they are a specific target.
It is said that it was ‘destined for granted’, but at this point in time when there are so few Awakened pregnancy cases, it was not possible to accurately assert it.
What kind of opponent is that ‘destiny’?
Under what circumstances can you reach pregnancy?
I don’t know any of those things.
However.
At least my future self——with Ashe It seems to have succeeded in making a child.
“We’ve been together for over five years, and we’re barely conceived.”
“I’ve been in a relationship with Mr. Seo for quite some time, but he had a child five years after we met.”
“… Perhaps, there are other conditions before getting pregnant. So it doesn’t matter. Here at this time of day, please give me a lot of love.”
Mirae Ashe speaks as if cheering.
However, as for No. 13, she felt like she was saying, “Then you just need to get your nose pierced.”
If she gets pregnant even by mistake, she is confident that no matter how much #13 is the villain, she will take responsibility for it.
From now on, whenever I have sex with Ashe of the current time, I will have to pay more attention to contraception.
“Yes, I have a child… If so, I will have no choice but to go back to the future.”
“Yes. I want to see my cute child again soon~ He must be very lonely without this mother~♪”
“Are you a son or a daughter?”
“That’s a secret~. Which one do you think it will be?”
“… Either way is fine.”
Either way is good, so No. 13 makes fun of himself, saying that it would be better if he didn’t resemble himself.
Whether she was a son or a daughter, if she resembled her mother, Ashe, it was clear that she would be a smart and pretty child.
… No, looking at Ashe in the present time… When I think of that hot-blooded personality, I suddenly feel uneasy.
…
What… I can only hope that she will be raised well…
* ***
“—Now, I guess it’s time to go.”
It happened so suddenly.
Ashe’s body began to be covered with her golden particles.
Whoaaaaa…
Golden particles rising from her feet as if defying gravity.
At the same time, a small clock that seemed to have been made by weaving gold around Hachee’s chest was ticking.
Although the timing was too sudden.
However, considering how sudden her appearance was, maybe now is the natural timing.
Looking down at her golden particles and ticking clock, Hachee reached into her closet and pulled out the clothes she had left there and put them on.
It is Provided to the captains of the hero units.White uniform.
She probably got it from the future, but she’s never worn it in this timeline.
I was naked when I first met her.
However, they proudly wear the uniform like this.
Now that this is over, she can wear that uniform comfortably… It may be that such a change of heart has occurred.
“Are you going back now, huh?”
“Yes. Go back to the time I was originally, to the place where there are people waiting for me.”
Wearing pants and buttoning her uniform.
From the appearance of a drunkard in untidy underwear, she quickly became the appearance of a dignified captain.
However, her clothes didn’t fit well, so the buttons on her uniform were unbuttoned about halfway and her breasts were exposed.
Even as Ashe let out a sigh at that fact, she somehow put on a relieved expression.
Number 13 put down the wine glass she was holding in her hand and approached Ashe.
“… If things go back like this, will your world change a bit?”
“Maybe,It won’t change.My world will be the way I have seen it.”
To the question in No. 13, Ashe immediately denied it.
Regardless of how Dorothy and Bellflower sisters over here were dealt with.
The future that Ashe came from would have been ruined by the two sisters.
“It’s okay though. In my world, people who had to die in tragedy are happy here. … Just by seeing it, I was rewarded.”
“…”
“Now I, too, go back over there… I can see the future again without lamenting the helplessness of the past.”
Ashe muttered that as if soaked in her sensibility.
The particles of light rising from Ashe’s feet increased even more, taking on a form that seemed to overflow.
Although No. 13 looked at Ashe, who was bathed in golden light, with her troubled eyes.
Her hand reached towards No. 13’s mouth, and she forcibly changed it into a smile.
“Please smile. Although there was a lot of sadness in that world, I met Number 13 thanks to that.”
“I have trouble with you in the future, I fight, and then I fall in love and give birth to a child I never thought I would.”
“… And like this, I returned to the past and even finished my revenge.”
“I have no complaints in my life. There is nothing to regret.”
If she says that, even as No. 13, she can’t hold her tears.
No. 13 changes her expression and faces Ashe with a bitter smile.
Also, Ashe, who is one head shorter than No. 13, she looked up at No. 13.
“Thank you, Ashe.”
“You’re welcome. I am.”
Their greeting ends with that.
The last word was simple, but the two seemed satisfied with it.
The golden particles that enveloped Ase eventually became a dazzling brilliance.
And at any moment, the brilliance reveals its light at its peak——Soon it disappeared.
In the place where golden particles had floated up until a moment ago, there was only emptiness with no one there, as if someone had been there.
The person who greeted No. 13 also suddenly disappeared as if it were a mirage.
It must have gone back to the future.
It must have returned to where it was.
Number 13 looked at the place where Future Ashe had disappeared for a while, then returned to where he was originally sitting.
After pouring new wine into the wine glass she had been sipping from just a moment ago, and as if she suddenly remembered, she also poured new wine into her wine glass, which was left behind by future Ashe.
She clinks her own glass against the wine glass that lost her owner.
End with that.
No more words of encouragement, no more words of blessing.
However, while praying for the happiness of the departed, Unit 13 performed a certain ritual… I drank the contents of the cup in one go…
