Title: I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With
Do I have an exceptionally fast adaptability?
…Still, from now on, I should just send them off cleanly with a gun.
Blasting a head is the last time!
Having wrapped up my brief reflection, I walked past the blood-drenched living room.
And rummaging through this damned wardrobe, I found it.
As expected.
The Rhino mask surfaced.
A mask resembling a rhinoceros. Yes, maybe I should place this by the corpse.
When someone finds it later, they’ll surely think this was Rhino’s doing.
That’s settled. Now, it’s time to leave.
No, I should do something memorable first.
But what?
After a short contemplation, an idea came to mind.
Yes, this will definitely attract attention.
My decision made, I began to move my gloved hand deftly.
Ugh, I swear I won’t do such things anymore, for real.

The South Korea Supernatural Ability Users Association.
Also known as the Hero Association.
A-Class Hero, Shin Haru.
Alias Stardus.
She stood speechlessly before the horrific scene unfolded within a household.
“…So, this signifies Rhino’s doing, you say?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
A pale-faced officer standing nearby continued.
“We received a report from a resident and by the time we arrived, the situation was already over. The murderer appears to have fled, and it is highly likely that the perpetrator is the same individual as before.”
As the officer spoke, another who had been searching the house butted in.
“Yes. And considering the victim was a villain too, it seems likely. The evidence here is also…”
The officer trailed off, lost for words at the ghastly sight.
A corpse with an exploded head.
In red blood was written:
To those more evil than I, death.
To those weaker than I, death.
To you, Stardus.
Childishly uneven and squiggly letters, as if written by a middle schooler.
Yet perhaps because it was written in blood, it gave off an eerily chilling vibe.
“Crazy…”
Uttered Shin Haru with a hardened expression.
No matter how evil, nobody deserves death in such a manner.
They should stand trial and be sentenced fairly by the court.
“…Aimed at Stardus. Ha.”
Why he had targeted her, she did not understand.
However, if his intention was to provoke her, she wanted to commend his excellent execution.
This villain.
Who had committed murder on his own terms, in such a ghastly way.
He would pay for provoking her.
With a still stoic expression, Shin Haru left the crime scene.
It wasn’t important whether the deceased was evil or not.
What was important is that there’s a villain who harms people,
And she would stop him, whoever it may be.

[This evening at 7 o’clock, A-Class villain Rhino was found dead at his home. He seems to have died from head explosion, and currently, the identity of the killer is unknown. The Hero Association has defined the assailant as a ‘genuinely villainous individual who carried out a dreadful and brutal private punishment,’ and has been designated as an A-Class villain. Apparently, the criminal can use psychokinesis…]
The news flowed from the TV.
Huh, that’s about me.
Lounging on a couch and playing a game, I glanced at the TV.
There was Shin Haru’s face.
[…A-Class ability user Stardus declared that she couldn’t forgive the villain who identified her and is doing her utmost to apprehend him. Why the criminal targeted Stardus is unknown…]
Ah, so it’s finally been revealed.
The big fuss I stirred up a few days ago.
I turned on my phone to check out the internet news.
Main articles, main articles, main articles. And then… the comments.
[But honestly, if they’re only killing villains, doesn’t that make them a hero? Why label them a villain?]
[I actually kind of like this vigilante bro, lol. Seriously, I’m all for killing villains. They only keep escaping prison every time. I support sending them off for good.]
[I’m rooting for this villain.]
