The Monster Aspires to Be a Hero

76 – Identity Revealed (2)

My head stiffened when I saw the author’s startled expression.

The author heard Grid’s voice?

Hey, tell me.

ㅡ Jinwoo actually thought about getting married because he loved Jieun.

What are you talking about, you madman?

The moment Grid said that, the author looked at me with eyes full of anticipation while shaking her body.

“… Can you explain this?”

“Once… Let’s go inside.”

Because this seems like a problem you can’t escape from anymore.

I took the author into her house.

“Why… Were you here?”

“Senpai keeps running away….”

As expected, this kind of thing didn’t suit me.

I was just running away while hurting other people’s hearts just to make my heart feel better.

So I made him do something he shouldn’t have done.

“Once… sit down. I’ll bring you some tea.”

“No, there is something I want to check more than that. Just now… What is it?”

ㅡ Djahao, Ms. Lee!

“….”

I was thinking about how to tell him.

I was in the middle of that… Grid guy introduced himself on his own.

I could see the author’s face dyed with amazement at every moment.

Ah, this is a screaming pattern.

“Kyaaa

I hurriedly went behind the author and shut her mouth.

“It’s okay! I’ll explain everything!”

ㅡ hehehe!

Is this fun?

Isn’t this a complete asshole?

***

I sat the author down and told him what had happened.

I inadvertently reached out my hand to a child who was about to get into a car accident in front of Buwon Hospital.

The moment I thought I was dead after being hit by a car, I was able to open my eyes.

I didn’t know at the time, but the grid had entered my body.

“Why do I have to… Were you a senior?”

ㅡ Since it was the body of a dying human, I thought I could take it away at will. Heh heh heh.

“… By the way, did you end up coexisting?”

ㅡ Yes!

“Can I come out?”

ㅡ There are still many unseen movies left!

“Ha….”

The author looked at Grid with an absurd expression.

It was like, ‘What kind of bastards are there?’.

Still, I didn’t feel extreme emotions such as disgust, hatred, or fear.

“Anyway, that’s how Grid saved her life. Maybe my psychic powers worked, and the grid couldn’t completely control my ego.”

After that, she wandered around her hospital room like a sleepwalker, sucking up her extra energy from the bodies of the psychic patients.

Since then, she has been able to use other psychic powers with the power of the grid.

“Is that why you play a hero?”

“Yes.”

But the words are a little short?

“Senior… Are you crazy?”

“….”

“Can’t you imagine what would happen if the senior found out that he was sharing a body with a monster?”

“I tried.”

“I tried, but why?”

“But I… Because I wanted to be a hero.”

ㅡ If you go through a terrible experience, you will go for the taste of hero mulberry. As addictive as Godiva.

“….”

From noble mtl dot com

The author made an inexplicably complex expression every time Grid opened her mouth.

Grid is more than a personality, he’s a madman.

Sometimes when I talk, I feel like I can’t get my head around it.

“So Mr. Grid? You saved my life with your power. Then, something from the senior’s body mixed into mine, and this kind of telepathy? It happened the same way.”

ㅡ You don’t have to be thankful, hehehehe!

“Thank you, senpai.”

ㅡ Why do you say hello to Brave when I saved you!

“You said you didn’t have to thank me?”

ㅡ Such a dog!

Grid has been taking out his anger on me for not being able to beat the author with words.

I felt relieved because I was beaten by Grid every time.

“Is that why you ran away in fear of being found out?”

“… No, not that.”

“Then why? Do you hate me?”

She slightly turned her head away from the author who was about to reach out to me.

“You… The moment I thought I was dead, the sound disappeared from the world. If I hadn’t brought up the idea of becoming a hero, you wouldn’t have become that. Thinking like that really made me feel like the world was collapsing.”

After hearing my words, the author looked a bit complicated.

Somewhere, he looked happy, and sometimes he looked pitiful, and sometimes he looked sad.

“I came to my senses when Grid threatened me to come to my senses. I saved you with the power of the grid. Because you start to breathe again… Really….”

But I made the worst choice.

“Grid said you were all right. But i… I kept thinking of the moment your heart stopped, so I couldn’t let go of you. With psychometry, I knew there were dangerous people besides you. I took you to the hospital first and hospitalized you. Then I could go get the others. There was… I keep thinking about the moment you died, so my feet won’t come off.”

“….”

“Thirteen people are dead. I am a person who neglected the deaths of those people, but I received a text message asking if I would also attend the director’s meeting. I attended because I couldn’t say I couldn’t go.”

We often come across scenes where someone cries.

There are also video media such as movies and dramas, and sometimes I would shed tears alone when I saw touching things.

There are so many other things you can come across, but… That was different.

“It was the first time I saw a bereaved family crying.”

Occasionally on TV, ‘Oh… oh my… I’ve seen bereaved families shed tears.

However, seeing it on TV and actually seeing it was a world of difference.

I have often seen the expression that the mournful cries of the bereaved family are not the kind of cries that humans can make.

It wasn’t until I attended the director’s meeting that I realized that the expression was not an exaggeration.

3 Adults over 180 couldn’t stop an ordinary woman in her 40s.

The heavy rain pouring down from the sky couldn’t hide the cry.

I just watched it.

Because he was not even qualified to wipe away the tears of the bereaved family.

“I… If I had been a little calmer, I could have saved them. Because I think so, because I see you, keep going… I remember that scene.”

So I ran away.

I knew it was a cowardly and petty act, but I had no choice but to do it.

“Senior.”

“Uh.”

“Obviously, if the senior had visited, the result might have been different. But… You did not neglect the lives of 13 people.”

As the author said that, he came near me and held my hand tight.

“We saved one victim who should have been 14 originally. I am alive here thanks to my seniors.”

The fact that there were 13 victims did not change.

Why does my heart feel so light?

The words of the author strangely shook my heart.

“Senior….”

It was the moment when the author was looking at me with her pitiful eyes.

Wagjak Wagjak.

“….”

“….”

The sound of chewing something came from somewhere.

ㅡ Has the moment finally arrived?

The author distanced himself from me and glared at Grid with a terrifying expression.

ㅡ I was the one who saved you.

I’m upset because the author didn’t say thank you, you bastard.

The author glared at the grid and slightly puffed out her cheeks, but still let out a sigh.

“So you say you can go out now, but the reason you’re not going out is because of the movie?”

ㅡ Um….

It’s not just because of the movie.

I can’t do without a grid anymore.

Because I really need Grid’s help to hunt him down.

“Senior, are you involved in something dangerous?”

“Huh?”

“Strangely, something happens only around seniors. The mimicking monster, the living suit, and even the monster that attacked the research lab this time seem to be related to the senior.”

As expected, it continues like that….

“The reason why the senior urgently called me was because he realized that there was something there. I think that’s why Mr. Grid sticks to senpai’s body even though he can leave.”

ㅡ She’s a woman who doesn’t suit Ko-sam. Heh heh.

Grid munched popcorn and spat out affirmative remarks.

The author glanced at the grid, then she looked back at me.

I felt like I had to say something quickly.

“Whoa…. You know, it seems that there is a madman who created a monster in this world. All of the recent events involve that bastard.”

The author said in a small voice, “That bastard….” She muttered.

“He must like me. What is fundamentalism? Unlike today’s heroes, the true hero that comes out of hero movies… Do you have something like that? You think I’m close to that.”

So it’s dangerous.

Let’s keep our distance for the time being.

She brought up the story with that intention, but the author just shook her head.

“I’ll help too.”

“No.”

“Would it be more dangerous for me to be alone? If the whole of society is in danger, isn’t it less dangerous to be in a safe place? If information about my psychic powers is revealed, it will be even more dangerous?”

“….”

ㅡ Big! You can’t compete with words! Heh heh heh!

I lost.

I couldn’t come up with a way to convince the author.

Even if you live as a normal person, you can’t avoid the danger of monsters.

He said he would throw the whole society into chaos.

Only for the purpose of having future poetry.

In such a situation, it cannot be said that the author is safe when he returns to his daily life.

Rather, it may be the same act as neglecting in the upcoming crisis.

I finally nodded.

ㅡ Khehehe. Mad Scientist Ms. Lee became a colleague!

Is this correct?
