‘Hmm. It’s just a thief setting.’
I checked my mother’s information through the tutorial system.
Other things were unimportant, so she focused on checking her psychic powers, but her psychic powers were really psychic powers for stealing.
And in fact, the mother is also using 200% of this superpower to steal.
There was no treasure her mother couldn’t steal, and thanks to her, she was wanted by the Hero Association as a villain.
Of course, when I was acting as the thief villain [Hazel Foxy], I wore a fox mask and disguised myself, so no one except her family knew that Hazel Foxy was my mother.
Mom doesn’t hurt anyone, only steals her treasure. But even so, the Hero Association placed a high bounty on her mother.
The reason why the bounty was so high even though she was a thief villain was that all the treasures her mother stole belonged to the rich, powerful, or villains. She steals beautiful treasures, but doesn’t care about her good or evil.
The villains would grind their teeth to catch her mother with their own hands, but her rich and powerful people were different. Because they have direct ties to the Hero Association that protects the Dark City, they force her mother to put a high bounty on her.
Therefore, when a report comes in that her mother has appeared, an A-class or higher hero is dispatched.
They don’t even know if there’s someone who stole their treasure right next to them, and they only stir-fry the Ammon Hero Association.
‘Well… It would be useless though.’
If I had been someone who would be caught just because an A-class hero was dispatched, he wouldn’t be in front of me right now.
“Son?”
“Huh? Why?”
“I have to eat. Why don’t I eat? Ah! Do you feel full just by looking at your mother’s face?”
“Yeah. Just looking at Mom’s face makes me full.”
When I answered generously, my mother blinked her eyes. She then looked at me with her doubtful eyes.
“Why? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Son, do you need money?”
“… I don’t need it.”
I wondered why he was reacting like that, and I searched my memory and found that the man in heat before me was quite stingy with his expressions. He didn’t talk much and he didn’t know how to make fun of it.
Wouldn’t the son who was like that come to the company that he didn’t like? It changed overnight, so in the mother’s room, it would be embarrassing and happy.
“But what about Dad? Are you still far from coming?”
“Huh? Yeah. It looks like it’s going to be a long time. But they say you can come until the experiment is over. Will you wake up after you’ve finished eating?”
“Yes.”
I got up from my seat and grabbed my plate. It’s a large company, so the food was plentiful and the taste was good.
‘System. Does mom know I’m psychic?’
[‘Stephanie Yu’ doesn’t know that the player ‘Restrous Man’ is a psychic.]
‘Okay? But can you stop calling me ‘a man in heat’ with emphasis? Just call me a player.’
There are many words that can refer to me, but the tutorial system only emphasizes that the player is in heat. It wasn’t once or twice, he was always in heat, he was in heat.
[I can’t understand the request of player ‘Restrous Man’. Execution is not possible.]
‘No, don’t just call me ‘Player Horny Boy’, call me ‘Player’.’
[I can’t understand the request of player ‘Restrous Man’. Execution is not possible.]
‘…’
I didn’t ask for such a difficult request, but I couldn’t understand it. I wondered if he was doing this on purpose to make fun of me.
“Hello Vice President.”
A man in a white coat appeared in front of us. The mother’s expression brightened when she saw the man.
“Oh, Doctor. It’s been a while. You know that I’m really looking forward to this experiment, right?”
“Haha. Of course. That’s why I’m still very nervous right now. I wonder what will happen if I don’t live up to the vice president’s expectations.”
“I’m putting a lot of pressure on you right now, so you have to be very nervous. If the experiment fails… You know? Queek!”
“Oops! This must have a successful result today. I will definitely show you a good image.”
The two of them were quite close, exchanging jokes amicably. My mother burst into laughter and introduced me to the man.
“Oh! Say hello. This is our son. Son? This is Dr. Crumola, who will be conducting the experiment today.”
“Hello, Doctor.”
“Oh! You brag about your son, and as you said… He’s really big! Nice to meet you. Kevin Ginger Crumola.”
The man who looked up at me, Dr. Krumola, reached out to me first.
“I am…”
Like Dr. Crumola, I hesitated to say my name.
Horny man
It was an embarrassing name no matter where it came from.
‘Why the fuck am I naming it like that… A tutorial! Change your name! Please change my name!’
[I can’t understand the request of player ‘Restrous Man’. Execution is not possible.]
‘It’s like a dog.’
As I hesitated to say a name, Dr. Krumola removed his hand and nodded his head.
“It seems that a person with big hands will become a big person in the future. Anyway, I’m going to leave.
“Yes, Doctor. Then I’ll see you at the lab later.”
Dr. Crumola, who also bowed to me, left the place. He watched his back as he walked away and secretly checked his information.
“…”
‘Don’t you have superpowers?’
The 55-year-old Dr. Crumola was surprisingly non-psychic. His psychic power column was blank. At least my driver, Izma, had supernatural powers, and I was surprised that Dr. Crumola did not have superpowers.
‘Doesn’t this mean that nothing is happening today?’
In hero movies, many villains are born from experiments by scientists. Either the scientist himself or the experimenter gains unreasonable powers and becomes a villain.
I was expecting something like that from the bottom of my heart, but if nothing happens, I would be disappointed.
‘Isn’t that a bit difficult?’
I want to become a member and experience what kind of world the world I will live in is.
‘No matter what.’
*****
My mother must have been very proud of me for coming to the company on my own. She took me around the company and introduced me to her employees and shareholders.
‘Did I come here for no reason?’
The more people know about me, the more the pressure I feel grows, but if you think about it, it wasn’t such a bad thing.
Everyone knows Bruce Wayne. But few people knew he was Batman.
There was no law telling me not to be like that.
Well… That’s what the story I originally envisioned, too.
Since I was meeting people like that, the time was approaching 2:00 PM. She and her mother headed to Dr. Crumola’s laboratory.
In the doctor’s laboratory, besides us, there were shareholders who had just gotten acquainted with each other.
Saying good-bye to shareholders, she sat down with her mother.
“But Dad hasn’t come yet?”
“They say they’ll arrive in 30 minutes.”
“Is it so?”
He shrugged and looked ahead. After a while, Dr. Crumola, the protagonist of this experiment, and his assistants entered the laboratory through the glass window.
Talk tok-
“Did everyone enjoy their meal? I hope the distinguished guests gathered today have a good stomach. During the test process, there may be some who get a little upset and overeat.”
Everyone burst into laughter at Dr. Crumola’s joke.
‘What is that?’
While the doctor was talking, the assistants who came in with him put something like a box covered with cloth on the test table. Starting with the paper box size, there was also a box large enough to fit a medium-sized car.
Dr. Crumola, who calmed the atmosphere by talking lightly, stood in front of a box covered with cloth.
“Then, I will now show you the results of my research with my talented assistants. Ladies and gentlemen, this is [Chimera].”
“Chimera?”
“Oh my God…! Look at how cute it is!”
“Hmm… Is that the result?”
Dr. Crumola rolled up the cloth, and those who saw the contents looked puzzled. This is because only a small puppy was lying inside the transparent glass case.
To say it was the result of an experiment, it looked no different from an ordinary puppy.
“On the outside, it’s no different from a normal puppy. But like this…”
As the doctor gestured, the assistant on the wall pressed the remote control. Then, the transparent glass case turned red, and the result that the doctor confidently presented appeared in front of us.
“Huh?”
“That’s…”
“Where have you been?”
When the glass case turned red, the dog inside was invisible. The doctor, who secretly enjoyed being puzzled by people, opened his mouth.
“Now, please put on the special glasses provided on the chair.”
“Hmm.”
As he told me, I took out my glasses from the pocket of my chair and put them on. Then, inside the red glass case, I saw the puppy still as it was at the beginning. Exclamations erupted from everywhere.
Once again, the color of the glass case changed to blue, and then the color of the dog also changed to blue.
“I injected the chameleon gene into this puppy. It took a lot of trial and error, but my experiment was successful in the end.”
Dr. Crumola took turns pulling down the cloth covering the glass case.
Starting with the puppy I saw for the first time, various animals such as cats, monkeys, cows, horses, and rhinos were confined in glass cases and had the same abilities as dogs.
“I have only one dream. A world where even non-psychic people can use psychic powers. Psychic terrorists and villains say this? They are chosen by God. But this proves them wrong.”
The doctor sighed.
“The psychic power used by heroes, villains, and people with psychic powers is, after all, one of the providences of nature. Animals and insects have been using the psychic powers they use since the era when there was no concept of psychic powers. I’m sure this experiment will be the beginning of an evolution.”
‘It’s an animal gene…’
I looked at Dr. Crumola, his assistant, and the animals in the glass case in turn. Can I use them in my story?
‘Why do you like it that way?’
Looking to the side of her, her mother was staring at Dr. Crumola with her eyes shining. Why are you like that?
“Mom.”
“Yes why?”
“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a minute.”
“Uh yes. Do you know where it is? Or would you like Mom to go with you?”
“I am not a child.”
“Hoho. Go quickly.”
“Yes.”
Using the excuse of going to the bathroom, I got out of the lab and went into the bathroom. I quickly looked through the memories of a man in heat, and when that wasn’t enough, I even checked it again using the tutorial system.
‘You mean no one knows I have superpowers? Including the whole family?’
[That’s right. There is no one who knows that the player ‘Eustrous Man’ has superpowers.]
‘Yes, then…’
After checking, I started to take off my clothes. A black hoodie hidden under the suit was revealed. Lastly, take out the chewy mask that covers the entire head from my inner pocket and put it on, and everything is ready.
“…”
After hiding the clothes on the bathroom ceiling, I looked in the mirror.
‘I have to make new clothes soon.’
The clothes were too tight because of the muscles. It was all black, so it was tasteless to look at.
‘Then shall we begin?’
I went outside and headed to the lab.
Batman but has parents? Impossible
