Chapter 66 – #67 Popcorn and Coke
#67 Popcorn and Coke
Should I call this lucky or bad?
“There!”
“Damn it! Why are White Knights doing that?!”
“First, evacuate the citizens! The [Hive Master] And the [Ice Queen] Are in charge of evacuating the citizens! And [Ether], [Pierrot], And [Wind Line] Calm the White Nights together with me!”
“Yes!”
“Huh~ What am I going to do?”
“[Flame Witch] You stop the waves of the White Knight! We put the safety of the citizens first!”
“Then do I have to protect the ice queen? Heuh~ I don’t like it. But since the situation is the situation, I can’t help it.”
From afar, I could see countless heroes coming towards me. Each of them had an unusual aura.
A-class and S-class heroes were dispatched.
‘How did he know this place?’
After thinking it over, I realized the answer and laughed.
“Huh. That’s right. It’s strange not knowing.”
Images of the onlookers filming me and the White Knight’s battle scene with their cell phones without fear flashed through my mind.
The scenes they filmed are uploaded to social media in real time. In particular, if there was a person broadcasting personally, people at home could see the battle scene in real time.
There was no way that the Hero Association was unaware of a fact that even ordinary people could know.
There must have been an uproar in the Hero Association. Because the White Knight, known as the strongest hero, was beaten by me in a mess. Is that all? The White Night, where Mattangi had left, was sending waves everywhere.
As a result, human casualties and property damages accumulated rapidly.
There was no doubt that a large number of heroes were mobilized from the Hero Association to reduce the damage even a little.
‘Aquagirl… Seems to be all right.’
A huge ice barrier was erected in front of Aqua Girl, who managed to protect the baby and mother behind her using the water protection skill. It was the work of Ice Queen, one of the harem candidates I picked.
Actually, for a harem candidate, I hadn’t met the Ice Queen since I met him at the Francesco Hotel, so I had gathered information about her.
You said you’re a talented hero who could rise to S-class soon, right?
Jump-! Damn-!
Indeed, the ice barrier was easily blocking the wave of the White Night, which Aqua Girl was barely blocking, probably because she was on the verge of reaching S-class.
Of course, it was broken and shattered by the wave, but new ice was filling the broken spot. The waves of the White Knight could not cross the ice barrier.
In addition, four heroes were approaching him to calm the White Knight. Since the idiot who lost to me was said to be the strongest hero, they are probably S-class heroes too.
No matter how strong a hero is, he will soon be subdued because four S-class heroes have been dispatched. That means I have nothing to do.
“Then Tulle… No wait?”
I thought Aquagirl would be safe too, but I soon changed my mind.
As long as I continue to work as a villain anyway, it was clear that I would collide with the heroes over there at least once.
Then wouldn’t it be bad to watch how they fight? Also, it wasn’t bad to use the power of the psychic analyst to check what psychic powers and characteristics the S-class heroes had.
“Let’s see… Did the convenience store sell popcorn?”
Having made up my mind, I went to a nearby convenience store and grabbed some popcorn and Coke. No one was in the convenience store, probably because they had already run away.
I put a $100 bill on the checkout counter and went up to the roof of a tall building.
Observation sweet taste!
*****
A middle-aged man in a black battle suit, the S-class hero [Hive Master], Asked the Ice Queen.
“Ice Queen. Can you stop the waves of the White Nights?”
“I’ll try!”
“If you get hit by that, even an A-class hero won’t be safe. Let alone citizens without superpowers. We must stop it.”
“Yes!”
The Ice Queen responded vigorously and shouted as she stepped forward and stretched her arms forward.
“Igloo!”
When she activated her skill, a huge barrier of ice began to rise in front of her. The ice barrier, rising more than 10m, folded inward to create a huge air defense shelter.
Bang-! Bang-! Quaang-!
“Kuh! Ugh!”
Waves emitted by the White Knight flew in and hit the igloo made by the Ice Queen. The power of the waves was so powerful that the ice cracked and shattered every time the waves collided.
And the shock was delivered to Ice Queen, who made an igloo with the power of supernatural power.
Each time the waves hit her, she felt like she had been hit by a car, but the Ice Queen held back the pain by biting her lip. And she straight away made up for her broken parts with more of her psychic powers.
“Water protection! Water treasure…”
“It’s enough to stop now.”
“Huh… Huh? Huh huh?”
Aqua Girl, unaware that her ice queen had created a new wall to protect herself, was awakened by the Hive Master’s voice tapping her on the shoulder.
“Are you the Aqua Girl who was promoted to a B-class hero a while ago?”
“Uh… Huh? Ha, Hive Master?! Loyalty! Yes, that’s right! I’m Aqua Girl!”
“Haha. This isn’t an army, so there’s no need to salute. You’re amazing too. How could you stop the White Knight’s wave. And…”
The Hive Master saw a trembling woman holding a baby in her arms from behind Aqua Girl. His gaze at Aquagirl grew warmer.
“Did you hold out to protect them?”
“Yes? Yes, it is.”
“Great hero. You saved the lives of those two today.”
“I am…”
“Yes. It will be harder than that, but you should evacuate now. We’ll take care of this place now.”
“Yes? But…”
At the Hive Master’s words, Aqua Girl instinctively looked ahead. The Ice Queen created an ice barrier, but the inside was transparent, so people outside the barrier could be seen clearly.
Seeing the citizens who had not yet evacuated reminded me of a sense of mission as a hero.
“I’ll help too.”
“Heh. The future of the Hero Association is bright.”
“Yes?”
“No. It’s really better than that, so step back. Aren’t psychic powers hard to use anymore?”
“That is…”
The Hive Master accurately grasped Aquagirl’s condition. Indeed, it was a veteran-like record that has been active as a hero for more than several decades.
In fact, the remaining water points for Aquagirl were 0, and she was unable to create any more water.
“Or watch how your seniors fight and save the citizens there.”
“Yes?”
“[Hive].”
The Hive Master looked at the people beyond the ice barrier and activated his psychic powers. Then his brown eyes turned black. All whites.
“[Mind united].”
The moment the next skill was used, the people on the other side of the barrier also had black eyes like the Hive Master. Hiding behind cover and trembling, they stopped in a daze.
“Come this way.”
When the Hive Master gave such an order, people moved towards him, limping like zombies.
“Ice Queen?”
“Yes!”
The ice queen, who worked hard to block the waves by charging ice, made a door under the barrier. People slowly entered through the open door.
“Ah! Danger…!”
At that time, Aquagirl’s eyes saw waves flying towards the citizens who were evacuating. The Hive Master, who was controlling the people at her urgent voice, smiled.
“Don’t worry. There are other S-class heroes here besides me.”
Fire-!
And as if to prove his words, a huge flame soared and swallowed the waves flying towards the citizens.
It was the fire created by Flame Witch, an S-class hero, beyond the ice barrier.
“Huh~”
The Flame Witch leisurely created flames and blocked the wave of the White Knight.
“Where are the villains who harassed us?”
With a snort, the Flame Witch looked at the White Knight in the distance and muttered. In reality, she was in a romantic relationship with the White Knight.
A man who has never been angry is running amok. And she knew that the culprit who drove him crazy was Steel Armor, known as Class A.
I couldn’t know
Because the scene of the White Knight being beaten by Steel Armor was posted on the Internet in real time.
“I want to make us pay for making ourselves angry… Hehe~”
The Flame Witch murmured while leisurely creating fire to block the waves. But the strange thing was that unlike the words that came out of her mouth, her expression looked very happy.
*****
While S-class heroes Hive Master, Flame Witch, and A-class hero Ice Queen were evacuating citizens from behind, four S-class heroes were running towards the White Knight from the front.
A power named dimensional power, [Ether] That handles ether.
[Clown] Always dressed up as a clown.
[Wind Line] With the supernatural ability to manipulate the wind.
And even the [Tough guy] Who has been entrusted with full authority for this operation by the head of the Valencia Association.
The above four S-class heroes approached the White Knight.
“Windline!”
“Yes! Be careful!”
Windline swung his hand. Then, the wind, which can only be seen in Windline’s eyes, wrapped around the tough guy’s body.
The wind moved turbulently like a roller coaster, avoiding the waves, and moved the tough guy right behind the white knight.
“Kuaaaaa
“Wake up, White Night!”
“Kuaaaaa!”
“Damn it! I’m sorry!”
The tough guy, who was blocking the waves emitted by the White Knight with his body, hugged him with an apology.
“Uryaaaaa!”
Then, as it was, I picked up the white knight and used German Suplex.
Bang-!
“Kuh?! Kururu… Enemy! Enemy doesn’t forgive! The strongest hero never loses!”
Gyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-!
“What crazy?!”
As he fell to the ground, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and the White Knight, who had lost his mind, came to his senses a little. However, he did not completely regain his reason.
He doesn’t even recognize his fellow hero, the tough guy, and designates him as an enemy simply because he attacked him. Lasers shot from the White Knight’s eyes.
“Mister!”
“Thank you Windline!”
Fortunately, Windline was able to dodge the lasers thanks to the quick use of wind to launch him upwards. But the danger was not over yet.
The white knight’s laser caught up with the tough guy who was carried away by the wind. Turning my head was much faster than the wind moving.
“Come on~ It’s time for the good boy to sleep!”
Pop-!
In the meantime, Pierrot, who secretly approached the White Knight like an assassin, burst a bag over his head. The purple powder scattered and permeated inside through the breath of the White Knight.
“I won’t lose!”
“Heyiik?! Help me! Help me!”
“This!”
Thanks to Pierrot pulling the aggro, the laser that chased the tough guy stopped, but Pierrot right behind him was in danger.
The White Knight swung her fist at Pierrot. Wind Line tried to pull him back using the wind, but this time the White Knight came first.
Hook-!
“Cheer, heck, heck…!”
The white knight’s fist pierced the place where her heart was. A thick forearm stuck into Pierrot’s chest, and blood splattered from his mouth onto the White Knight’s face.
Pierrot shook his head.
“Mister!”
“Pierrot!”
The two S-class heroes were stunned by that appearance, but it was already too late-
“Surprise!”
Pop-!
The clown who thought he was dead raised his head and shouted. Then, the body that had been pierced by his arm exploded, and colorful paper flew away.
Squeak squeak-!
“Oops! My butt is wet!”
The place where the popped clown reappeared was behind the White Knight. He crouched down and fired a water pistol at the White Knight’s buttock.
“Kuaaaaa!”
Pop-!
The enraged White Knight kicked Pierrot, but his body exploded like a balloon bursting. The place where Pierrot appeared this time was at the foot of Windline.
“You’re surprised, man!”
Haha! Surprising people is a clown’s job!”
“More than that, Pierrot! How long do I have to endure?!”
“It only takes one minute!”
“Really? Windline! Blow it!”
“Yes! Fasten your seat belt!”
The Wind Line once again blew Tough Guy to the White Knight.
Geeeeeing-!
The White Knight fired a laser at the tough guy flying towards him, but there was a huge hole in the middle of the line of fire and the laser was sucked into it.
“Nice assist ether!”
“…”
A hero named Aether was displaying superpowers.
The tough guy, who had evaded the laser with the timely help of Ether, stretched out his crouched body on top of the White Knight’s head and shouted.
“Five Star Frog Suplex!”
“The strongest hero never loses… Whoops?!”
A giant tough guy attacked the White Knight.
The close battle of the five heroes lasted for five minutes instead of the promised one minute, and ended with the White Knight fainting after losing his reason and unable to fully demonstrate his power.
