Chapter 512 – Gaiden 15) Young Hero (4)
Gaiden 15) Young Hero (4)
With shrunken shoulders, sweaty hands, and a torso pressed close to the steering wheel, it seemed that Evan was saying that he was a beginner among beginners.
“…”
Sitting in the passenger seat, Laura was holding on to her seatbelt and shivering. The vehicle was passing slowly through the alley at a speed of 20 km/h, but from Laura’s point of view, it felt like riding a roller coaster.
In fact, I had bumped into several cars parked in the alley as I was coming earlier.
“…”
Evan didn’t like Laura, who was always anxious next to her, but she didn’t say anything to her. Because if she had Laura behind her wheel, she would have reacted the same way Laura herself did.
“I think it’s about here?”
Evan, who drove at a speed of 20 km with full concentration, muttered as he looked at the abandoned factory in the distance.
“Ha…”
After parking the car, Evan let out a sigh of relief as he leaned back in the driver’s seat. He did as Sevi told him to do, but he never wanted to drive again.
“I think Sevi is really great.”
Evan, who somehow managed to reach his destination, thought that Sevi was amazing. He’s only a year older than him, but Sevi drives really well, like a veteran racer.
“Evan, you did well too…”
“…”
Laura comforted Evan as if he thought he was intimidated. Evan looked at Laura, who was comforting him, with absurd eyes.
The consolation of the person who had been shivering just before was no comfort at all.
“Ugh… That’s it. Anyway, get out…”
‘Aagh!’
“… Uh?”
“Why, why, Evan?”
Evan, about to go outside, was stopped by Sevi’s screams in his head.
‘No! Do not come! Get out of here!’
It wasn’t just Sevi who was suffering. Hannah, too, in a voice full of tears, was yelling at someone not to come closer.
‘Sevi! Hanna! What’s the matter?!’
‘Aaaaagh!’
‘Kyaaaaagh! Help me!’
“Uh, uh…”
Telepathically speaking to the two, all that came back was screams and pleas for help.
Evan realized something was wrong with him. There must have been something wrong with the three people who were chasing the villain.
Embarrassed, Evan looked around, not knowing what to do. Then he met eyes with Laura, who was looking at him with terrified eyes.
Laura was a timid girl as much as her timid nature. So, it wasn’t once or twice that when they were active as young heroes, they screamed and exposed their location to the villains.
She was thinking of approaching the abandoned factory where her friends supposedly entered. She intends to find out what’s going on inside and ask for help from the Hero Association.
But what if you take Laura here?
Clearly Laura would troll her and put herself at risk. So it was safer for her to leave Laura in her car.
‘This, once…’
Evan canceled the mental sync he placed on Sevi and Hannah. The screams of Sevi and Hannah, which had been blaring in her head, disappeared.
Both of them screaming
“If I tell you, you contact the Hero Association and ask for help. Okay?”
“Huh? Uh, uh… Uh, but what are you going to do…”
“It’s noisy and do as I say, okay?”
“Uh, uh… Joe, watch out Evan…”
Leaving Laura in the car, Evan approached the abandoned factory. He moved quietly, looking around with trembling eyes.
Puck puck puck-!
“Kuk! Kkeuk! Aaaaagh!”
“Heukheuk! Ah, no! Sevi!”
“Help me! I was wrong!”
“…”
I didn’t even have to go inside the factory. The voices of Sevi, Hannah, and Christina were heard one after another from inside the tightly closed door.
‘… I made a mistake.’
Evan realized he had made a mistake. He should have called the Hero Association for help instead of checking what was going on with the three of them.
The experience of defeating many villains made Evan make the wrong decision.
In fact, he thought he could save the three people from danger all by himself. Like a scene from a hero movie he saw the other day.
The main character of the hero movie was a hero with telepathic superpowers like Evan. His physical abilities were no different from those of ordinary people, but he saved his comrades from danger with his psychic powers and flashing wit.
Evan imagined saving his friends like the main character in the movie.
However, it was a movie where the villains acted according to the script. Reality and movies are very different.
‘Gee, even now…’
The good news is that he left Laura in her car.
‘Laura, ask the Hero Association for help right now…’
“What is this kid?”
“…”
Evan, who was mentally telling Laura to report her to the Hero Association, froze at the eerie voice behind her.
*****
‘Laura, ask for help from the Hero Association right now… Ahhh!’
“Hick?!”
Evan’s screams echoed in her head, causing Laura to shrink. Her terrified Laura shuddered as if her seat belt was her lifeline.
‘Aaaaagh!’
‘Wrong… Ah!’
“Heh! Heuuuuu…”
He kept hearing Evan’s screams in his head, and he was left alone. Fearing that he was left alone, Laura wept.
Shrek- Shyuk- Shyuk-!
Shrew look-!
Two lizards, smaller than the palm of her hand, crawled out of Laura’s inner pockets and looked up at Laura. Laura’s pet lizard and her only family.
“Apple… Mango… Huh…”
The lizard with reddish skin was apple, and the lizard with yellow was mango. Laura hugged the apple and the mango and shed her tears sadly.
How much time had passed like that?
1 hours? 2 hours? No, maybe less than 5 minutes had passed. Laura, who suddenly stopped her tears, looked at Apple and Mango.
As if giving her courage, the two lizards were looking at Laura.
“… That’s right. I have to save my friends. I can only do it.”
‘Laura, ask the Hero Association for help right now…’
Laura remembered what Evan had said to her. She grabbed the Hero Watch to request rescue from the Hero Association.
“…”
But for some reason, Laura couldn’t ask for help from the Hero Association. Her hands were trembling slightly. There was disbelief in Laura’s eyes as she looked at her Hero Watch.
Laura’s hesitant fingers moved.
[Help Rachel!]
It was Rachel, not the Hero Association, who sent her rescue request.
Rachel.
Unlike the Hero Association, there was faith in Laura’s eyes as she looked at the name written on the Hero Watch.
*****
[Help Rachel! -Laura]
“This, this…!”
Rachel opened her eyes after checking the text from Laura. Laura is calling for help at this late hour!
The moment Rachel checked her texts, she realized that not only Laura, but her other friends were in danger as well.
Laura was also a good friend who led her diligent and regular life. Then Laura wouldn’t sleep until this late, and she even texted herself asking for help.
Young Hero.
She must have put her in danger while carrying out the activities of the hero group she formed with her friends for peace in this world.
She hurriedly put on her clothes and came out cautiously so as not to wake Kai and Cheetah Girl who were sleeping soundly.
“…”
After coming out of her room, Rachel paused for a moment in front of her father’s and mother’s rooms.
Should I ask her dad for help?
Then her dad will help himself.
But,
“Ha…”
One o’clock is urgent, but Rachel can’t knock and she hesitates. Would it be right to ask her dad for help?
My dad came back after 3 years. Would it be right to ask such a father to go with him right now and save his friends?
Dad is back and he is happy himself. Then shouldn’t he also protect his father’s happiness?
Thoughts bite one after another and waste precious time. She lingered in front of her door for a while, then Rachel turned around.
She is the one who made her Young Hero in the first place. It is also she who draws her and her friends into Young Hero.
Then she is right to save her friends. She is undesirable to wake up at this late hour to help her dad when she is asleep.
“… I have to work it out.”
In the end, Rachel decided not to ask her father for help, but to solve the problem for her friends on her own.
That was when the girl took her steps.
Kiik-
“Why aren’t you sleeping? Dad, do you want to sleep with Mom?”
“… Dad.”
My beloved dad opened the door and came out. The room was so hot that sweat was beading on my forehead.
And somehow, when she met her father’s kind eyes looking at her, Rachel’s tears welled up in her eyes.
“Ugh, Dad…”
“Why, why are you crying, my daughter? What happened? Did you have a nightmare?
As Rachel poured out her tears, the Dark Knight panicked and left her at a loss. She was fidgeting around Rachel.
She says that no matter how powerful and rare Rachel is with superpowers, no matter how mature she is than most kids her age, she is, after all, a little girl of 14 years old.
“Huh… Dad… Friends, friends… Huh… Help me, Dad…”
Rachel wept bitterly and was thrown into her father’s arms. The Dark Knight hugged her and patted her on the back.
“Yes, Dad will help you. Don’t worry. Pop!”
“Du, tuuk! Heuuuuuong…”
“Child hardship. I also thought our Rachel was peeing on her bed like before.”
“Puhing! It’s not cheap!”
Rachel, who was crying sadly at the Dark Knight’s joke, burst into laughter.
“Huh? When she laughs after crying, she gets hair on her butt? Let’s see if Rachel has hair on her butt.”
“Eeeee! Don’t do it!”
“Yes, yes. Then, shall we go find some friends with Dad?”
“Yeah! Hurry up, Dad!”
Rachel’s eyes were full of faith as she looked up at her father. She was a father who would do anything for her own request. This time, Dad will safely rescue his friends who are in danger.
Because Dad is Rachel’s hero.
Rachel’s hero was the strongest man in the universe who could protect her precious daughter’s happiness.
*****
“Is Rachel right here?”
“Uh… That’s… Hang on.”
Standing in front of an abandoned factory in District 26, I looked around and asked Rachel. At my question, Rachel looked at the Hero Watch. Laura seemed to be trying to get in touch with her friend.
‘Eyes that look beyond the wall.’
While Rachel was holding the Hero Watch, I looked around using my clairvoyance-type psychic power [Eyes that see through walls].
And-
“Hmm… Rachel?”
“Yes?”
“Does she fit in here?”
“Is it so?”
I could see people surrounded by many people inside the factory. All the people inside were psychic. Even those who are being mass lynched. The people who were decisively beaten were wearing shabby costumes.
“Rachel, just in case you find a friend here…”
“Lee, Rachel!”
“Huh? Laura!”
Then, someone from behind called Rachel. A little girl, reminiscent of a little puppy, was running towards her with her teary face. That girl was Laura, who sent her rescue request to Rachel.
“Are you okay, Laura? Are you hurt?”
“I-I’m fine… Uhhh… Rachel…”
“Don’t cry. It’s okay now that I’m here. So why are you moving without me!”
“I-I said not to do it… Heh heh heh heh…”
“Ah… I’m sorry Laura. I’m not mad at you. Don’t cry. Pop!”
“Huhhhhh!”
Rachel was also on the short side of her, but Laura was shorter than him. Rachel calmed Laura hard.
‘Does that look like a scene I saw earlier?’
The way Rachel comforted Laura was the same as when I comforted Rachel, who was crying.
Drooling-!
Shrugging her shoulders, I opened the door of the abandoned factory to rescue Rachel’s other friends.
