[Title] So you’re telling me this is true?
An A-class villain decapitates someone and then suddenly kidnaps two boats and commands ‘Start killing each other’ – when they don’t, he flees, only to show up the next day, killing his own terroristic followers and paying compensation to the hostages before releasing them? And he broadcasted all this live?
[Anonymous1] Nah, that can’t be true lol
└[Anonymous2] For real lol
└[Anonymous3] Where in the world would you find someone like that (there actually is)
└[Anonymous4] Even hijacking the public airwaves? Must be a joke (it’s not)
[Anonymous5] Seeing a villain like this so-called Mangostick for the first time in my life. His name’s been imprinted in my brain in just two days.
└[Anonymous6] Who the heck is Mangostick? lol
└[Anonymous7] Mangostick lmao
└[Anonymous8] How can a villain’s name be Mangostick lol
[Anonymous9] But, honestly, if the villain also kills and stops terror attacks, and frees the hostages… Isn’t he basically a hero?
└[Anonymous10] A hero (who kidnapped boats intending a bomb terror attack)
└[Anonymous9] So did anyone die? lol
└[Anonymous11] I support the dark hero Mangostick.

For two days in a row, the villain who engraved his name into the minds of the national public, Mangostick.
…Or rather, Egotistic. She shook her head and internally corrected herself. She thought she might have gone slightly crazy from spending too much time scanning public opinion on the community forums.
“Haru, what are you doing?”
“Oh, sister.”
Inside the cafe.
Shin Haru, a college student, was doing an assignment with her senior.
When operating as a hero, she would always hide her name and constantly wear a perception-degradation filter; thus, no one knew she was the hero.
That’s why she could enjoy a normal college life.
By day, she was the ordinary college student Shin Haru; by night, she was the hero Stardust, leading a double life.
“Haru, you seem unfocused. Is something wrong?”
“No, not at all. I just had something on my mind.”
As she waved her hand and reassured her senior that everything was all right and she would focus now, she picked up her pen to resume her assignment.
However, her interest was elsewhere.
She pondered about Egotistic – just what kind of person was he?
