Chapter 109 – #110 Hero Association
#110 Hero Association
“…”
“…”
Among the silent people looking at each other, there was a man with his head hanging like a criminal.
“Ha…”
“…”
Then, the gray-haired man who was sitting in the seat of honor and staring at the top of the man’s head with complex and delicate eyes sighed and opened his mouth.
“It was probably 20 years ago? Then I took a long-awaited vacation and went to the sea. Pretty girls are walking around in bikinis and showing off their great bodies, can you become a man and stay still?
“””…”””
It was an unexpected memory, but no one tackled it. I just watched and hoped this storm would pass quickly.
But they knew too.
That this storm will never go away easily.
“But suddenly the sky gets dark. What is it? Dark clouds are suddenly gathering? I raise my head, my God. Isn’t a strange-looking bird bigger than most airplanes looking down at me?”
“I knew right away the moment I saw that bird. Ah… That bastard is the monster the seniors talked about!”
“[C. Norend. Siren].”
“That’s the name of that fucking monster.”
People flinched when thick curse words came out of the mouth of the white-haired man, the president of the Valencia Association. The S-class and A-class heroes who attended this event were expressionless, but the others were not.
“Chairman. You just swore vulgarly.”
“Really? I’m sorry. I’m afraid the vase will fly, so I’ll stop without realizing it. I’ll be careful in the future.”
When Gumiho, the secretary standing behind, said something, the president of the Valencia Association waved his hand and apologized.
Bang-!
“The name of the fucked monster was Siren! Siren! Siren!
Unable to hold back his anger, the president of the Valencia Association hit the desk and jumped up and screamed. The sound was so loud that a person 50 meters away could hear it.
“Ugh!”
“…!”
Even the heroes who didn’t blink an eye at the Valencia president’s swearing flinched as if they couldn’t stand this shout.
“At that time, more than 2,000 people died because of the sirens. Among them, a hundred were heroes. There were a hundred heroes who died because of the sirens. My seniors, you seniors!”
“It is the siren that they gave their lives to kill!”
“This time, Tough Guy and Genafiler are injured and put into a coma to protect the siren’s heart!”
Burke-! After screaming, the president of the association sat down on his chair and spoke in a weak voice.
“What is a siren for so many people have to die and get hurt? Why do their friends have to get hurt so much to protect the heart of a siren?”
“””…”””
People bowed their heads, and in the case of Director Guizman, who was already bowing, it seemed that he would sink his head to the ground.
‘Fuck fuck fuck fuck!’
Because it was Director Guizman who came up with the idea of displaying the heart of a siren to the upper class.
Director Gizman intended to make friends with the upper classes of society and at the same time receive donations from chaebols. As a bonus, he tried to pressure the president of the Valencia association by enlisting their support.
Director Gizman, who persuaded the directors and the heroes of his own line to propose a plan, succeeded in opening a gearco exhibition by pressing the head of the Valencia Association, who was showing a sour reaction.
And the holadang siren’s heart was stolen. Even though there are two S-class heroes and dozens of A-class and B-class heroes protecting it.
The siren’s heart exhibition, which director Gizman, who is aiming for the next head of the Hero Association, confidently pushed forward, returned as the worst self-killer.
‘Such assholes! What is an S-class hero! Bastards called S-class heroes can’t catch a thief! It’s fucking fucked up, really…’
Director Gizman, a man with his head down, cursed the heroes who couldn’t protect the siren’s heart.
“That… Chairman. Currently, the support team and search heroes are chasing High Fog and Hazel Foxy, who stole the Siren’s heart, so we should be able to find them soon.”
One of the directors opened his mouth in an attempt to alleviate the gloomy atmosphere.
But now, the words were out of the question.
The director who spoke up thought that the president of the Valencia Association was angry because the siren’s heart, which contained many symbols, had been stolen.
But not at all.
The president of the Valencia Association was angry that the two S-class heroes, Tough Guy and Genafiler, were seriously injured while protecting the jewel.
Was it because he poured out the anger accumulated inside him once? The president of the Valencia Association looked at the director and smiled.
“What are you doing?”
“Yes?”
“What are you looking for? Just tell them to take them. I’ll give you the other two right now, so tell them to take them all.”
People were taken aback by the unexpected words.
In addition to the Siren’s heart, there were two more artifacts made by extracting and processing parts of the monster’s body in the Hero Association’s underground vault.
[Celebrator’s Sun] Made from the eyes of [Fabio.
[Steel Lion Statue] Made from the skin of [Lyga.Ol.Nemes], A giant lion-shaped monster with steel skin and mane.
Now, the president of the association was saying that he would hand over these two artifacts to the villains who stole the heart of the siren.
It was natural to be upset.
“Tongue, president of the association!”
“What are you talking about?!”
“It contains the souls of the previous heroes…”
“The soul is a piece of shit. If you know that the heroes responsible for the safety of Dark City have been seriously injured because of that artifact, wouldn’t you hit the ground and get angry?”
“…”
At the words of the president of the Valencia Association, people became dumb after eating honey.
In the end, the meeting concluded with the conclusion that the citizens should deal with this incident as soon as possible so that they do not feel anxiety.
“How are the kids?”
Returning to the president’s office, the head of the Valencia Association asked the nine-tailed fox.
“Generafiler said that he used up too much of his psychic powers. [God’s Doctor] Said that he would get up soon after taking a rest for a few days.”
“That’s fortunate. Then what about the tough guy?”
“Thanks to God’s efforts, both external and internal injuries have been cured. However, as the president of the Association knows, tough guy has a broken ankle and a crushed hand, so he needs to recuperate for at least two months until he fully recovers. .”
“Two months…”
“…?”
The president of the Valencia Association bit his lip. At that, the gumiho made a puzzled expression.
Certainly two months is a long time. However, there were many S-class heroes to fill the void of the tough guy.
There are two cases where S-class heroes are dispatched.
One is when you just walk around and find a crime scene, and the other is when an S-class villain moves with a heavy butt.
Steel armor was the only currently active S-class villain, so the tough guy’s vacancy wasn’t a big loss to the Hero Association, strictly speaking.
“Why are you doing this? Is there any problem…?”
“No. I’m just worried about that tough guy.”
“Huh? Like I said before, tough guy-sama is faithful…”
“I know.
“…”
“All I’m worried about is that the tough guy might retire from this.”
“Are you retired?”
At the word retirement, the gumiho’s eyes widened. Why is he retiring?
Tough Guy is a veteran among veterans who has been a hero for over 30 years. He has represented the Hero Association for a long time as the Hero Association’s twin horse along with the Valencia Association president.
Sometimes like a strict father, sometimes like a benevolent mother, he led junior heroes, so many heroes respected him and followed him.
Although he was an old man, approaching 70, the tough guy was quite correct compared to other people his age. No, compared to heroes in their 20s and 30s, he has corrected himself to the point where he is comparable.
What the tough guy was saying was that I would be active as a hero for the next 10 years, so it was just strange that the head of the Valencia Association was worried about his retirement from the nine-tailed fox’s point of view.
“Tsk. No. What am I talking about? No need to worry unnecessarily. Pretend I didn’t hear you.”
“Yes.”
As the president of the Valencia Association clicked his tongue and glossed over his words, the nine-tailed fox nodded.
“By the way, the siren’s heart, is it possible to chase it?”
“It’s difficult at the moment.”
“Has it been taken out?”
“It’s very likely.”
“Ghmm… That tough guy needs to wake up soon so we can hear the details.”
“Shall we track down Hi Fog or Hazel Foxy?”
“Can you catch up?”
“It’s possible as long as they have the things they used to use.”
“Hmm… Leave them alone for now. I’ll look for steel armor instead.”
“You mean steel armor?”
The nine-tailed fox tilted his head. The one who stole the heart of the siren must have been two villains, so why do we need to find the steel armor?
“Steel Armor is always involved in recent large-scale events. The Sanctuary Incident, the Francesco Hotel incident, the Shadow Killer War, and finally until today… Since the appearance of the Steel Armor Gnome, major incidents have occurred one after another in a short period of time. It did. And there was always steel armor in its place. This is no mere coincidence.”
“You think Steel Armor is behind all of that?”
“It’s still only speculation. And there are a lot of things that are lax to say he’s behind it. But since it’s related, we’ll have to investigate separately.”
“We will start investigating as soon as the items used by Steel Armor are obtained.”
“Miho. You know…”
“Yes. I will not reveal my existence.”
“Yes. Believe me.”
Looking at the trustworthy nine-tailed fox, the head of the Valencia Association nodded.
“President of the Association. I’m here.”
“Come in.”
Ice Queen, who was called by the president of the association, opened the door and came in. After a short greeting with the gumiho, she sat down on the sofa. She said that she would bring tea, and when the gumiho left, the president of the association opened her mouth.
“It was a lot of trouble.”
“It’s hard work… I didn’t do anything there. Rather, I’m sorry. I couldn’t carry out the order of the president of the association.”
“An order. Why do you speak so sadly? Did I give you an order? I asked for a favor.”
“Hehe. You did. Anyway, I’m sorry.”
At the request of the president of the association, she was in the museum at the time the incident took place as Han Ji-min, not the Ice Queen. But she couldn’t do anything in the fog of high fog.
“I have more to ask of you.”
“Please speak.”
“That is…”
“Yes… Yes. Yes? That’s… Yes… I get it.”
The president of the Valencia Association asked the Ice Queen for something of her secret.
