Having organized my thoughts, I opened my mouth again with a calm voice.
“No, you can do it.”
You can do it.
Because you are the protagonist of this world.
If you have the will, you can achieve anything.
“You can do it. Stop the plane from crashing.”
My words rang out, heavy with sincerity, and her quiet voice came in response.
“[Does that make any sense? Do you think I don’t realize you’re just trying to eliminate me now?]”
Eliminate? Me? You?
I was baffled.
Who’s eliminating whom?
Caught off guard, I ended up expressing my true feelings to her.
“Why would I, of all people, try to kill you?”
Why would I seek your death?
“Without you, what would be the purpose of my existence?”
Since realizing I’d fallen into this cursed world of a comic, after wandering and struggling, I resolved to live the rest of my life for you.
“Without you, I’m just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill villain.”
Not even worthy of being termed a ‘villain.’
Without you, I’m merely an outsider in this world, an unnecessary appendage.
A me without everything—my family, friends, assets, social status, honor, friendships, love—having lost all and living in this other world is not myself.
What meaning would there be for me in this world, if not to live for you?
You.
It’s only you.
“You complete me.”
So please, step forward.
Clench your fists, put strength into your legs, take off to the skies, and save the people.
You can do it.
Because that is who you are.
Having said my piece, I simply disconnected the call.
Glancing to the side, I could sense Seo Eun and Subin looking at me with astonishment.
Ah, if I think about it, I recited my feelings for Stardust in front of the two of them.
Ugh. How embarrassing.
To them, all I could do was offer a faint smile and say,
“Let’s wait and see what happens now.”
I had done everything within my power.
Now, it was up to Shin Haru to decide how she’d respond.
***
“[Yes!!! Stardust!!! She has successfully landed the plane!!! All passengers are safely disembarking!!! Citizens of the nation!!! Korea is safe!!!]”
“Wow. Brother. She really did stop it, just like you said. How did she do it, brother? Brother!”
As Seo Eun called out to me, I found myself sliding down into my chair.
“Seo Eun…”
“Brother, why are you like this?”
“Let’s go have some fun…”
Terrorizing really takes it out of you after just once.
I need a break.
I must take a break.
“If I terrorize one more time, I’ll break down, seriously…”
After three consecutive terror events.
It’s time I take a little vacation.
This villain needs some rest.
