I really need to touch him carefully.
I can’t not touch him, so I need to be a little more careful….
It was when Evil was thinking he needed to pay more attention to controlling his strength.
Claims are also being raised that the recent changes in Evil Endem are due to Cheche, the Tartarian Aura User.
The news mentioned Cheche. Evil looked at the television screen first, and then belatedly Cheche’s gaze also turned to the screen.
The anchor stated with a very cautious face that, as intended by the Endem family, Tar’s young hero seemed to be having a good influence on Alcity’s tyrant. Evil was dumbfounded.
I admit I’ve changed a little.
But a good influence?
Bullshit.
How can a bundle of guilt who sleeps uncomfortably on the floor leaving behind a perfectly good blanket and pillow, who doesn’t even know when he got burned on his left ear, give me a good influence? Rather, this side seems like it’ll go crazy too!
“Hey, get up. The food’s all ready.”
Evil, who smelled the food set out in the dining room, lightly, gently poked Cheche. Cheche stood up following Evil without a word. Right on time, Hips notified them that the meal was ready.
“Meat from the morning. Will that kid digest it?”
“His flesh is tender so it’ll be fine.”
“Right. He needs to eat a lot and gain weight.”
As soon as Evil sat down, he pushed a bread plate in front of Cheche. Even though each person’s portion was set out in front of them, even though there was already a bread plate in front of Cheche, he naturally slid it over and then started eating.
Evil’s eating speed was very fast. Moreover, even in the morning he ate the same amount as lunch and dinner, so it was difficult for Cheche to keep up. While Evil emptied three plates of steak, Cheche hadn’t even finished one. Evil matched Cheche’s pace while eating his last plate. While putting the grilled vegetables that came out together on his plate, saying this is good and that’s good too, so eat a variety.
“I’m full.”
“Eat it all. If you leave food waste, you’ll be punished.”
Evil also checked that Cheche ate all the fruit dessert and Sunhu juice that came out for dessert without leaving any.
“You ate quite a bit today. Well done.”
“……”
When Cheche cleanly emptied the fruit dessert and Sunhu juice, Evil smiled pleasantly while stroking Cheche’s head.
Because of Evil’s surveillance, Cheche’s meal portions really had increased slightly since coming to the residence. However, it was absolutely not to the point of overeating like this (by Cheche’s standards it was overeating) from the morning. He knew his stomach would hurt soon from eating too much, but Cheche did his best to empty his plate. Because Evil wanted that… just… he wanted to do that.

“Stop at the Center’s main gate.”
“Yes.”
The driver faithfully stopped the car in front of the main gate. Snow had piled up on the fountain closed for the winter season. The Center’s janitorial staff cleared only the paths where people and cars passed and deliberately left snow piled up on the lawn and other places.
After this snowfall period ended, Motion Aura Users would make sculptures out of snow. It was an annual event, and Evil didn’t attend every year. However, he thought that this time he should take Cheche to see it. Cheche, who had lived his whole life in Tar, would never have seen ice sculptures.
“Hey, refugee. What are you doing? Aren’t you coming in?”
When Evil entered through the main gate opened by the security guard, Cheche was getting some cold air to soothe his bloated stomach from eating too much.
“I’m sorry.”
“You’re my secretary. Follow me briskly.”
“Yes.”
Evil walked alongside Cheche. Since the Aura User Center was also a tourist attraction, many people were visiting from the morning, and they all turned to ice at once with the appearance of the person currently receiving the most attention in the world.
“Should I move up your re-measurement to today?”
“Can you move it up?”
“Yeah, as long as the equipment is ready, I can move it up. Let’s do the re-measurement first and then the health checkup. It was originally scheduled for a week later, so it should be ready by now. If it’s not ready, I’ll have to fire those incompetent things.”
A measurement room staff member who happened to be in the lobby turned pale and headed for the stairs.
“What do you want to eat for lunch today? I’ll eat what I want to eat though.”
“I’d like to eat here for the first time in a while.”
“The cafeteria sucks.”
“It’s snowing.”
“What does that… Fine. You can’t catch a cold.”
A cafeteria chef who happened to be in the lobby turned pale and headed for the stairs.
“Ah, right. This afternoon we were supposed to do the Luzem cutting you’ve been eagerly waiting for. That might not happen.”
“Yes.”
“……”
“……”
“Aren’t you going to ask why?”
Evil stopped while heading toward the elevator. Following Evil, Cheche also stopped walking, and the watching people also stopped breathing. Evil didn’t seem to be in a good mood. The Center staff and visitors all held their breath in unison and kept their gazes on empty space as far from Evil as possible. Even so, they kept glancing this way out of curiosity and pricked up their ears.
“What’s the reason?”
Cheche asked in a tone that showed he had no interest at all.
“Snow suddenly came and created icy roads. There’ll be tons of accidents today. It’ll be a day when Aura Users get really busy.”
The Aura User who had never once in his life gone to an icy road accident scene was none other than Evil Endem.
“I heard even at dawn people died in some crane accident so Aura Users were called. It’ll probably be difficult to do the Luzem cutting for the time being. We have to save people. We’ll have to postpone the Luzem.”
“Yes.”
“……”
Evil stopped walking again. People cried out inwardly.
Please say you’re disappointed. Or tell him not to save people. Give that demon the answer he wants!
“…Hey, refugee. Aren’t you even disappointed?”
“Saving people is the priority.”
“Crazy, what kind of old textbook bullshit are you spouting? Even if there are many icy road accidents, someone with abilities like me doesn’t need to go.”
“It would be nice if you went and helped. You do the work of ten Aura Users.”
“Ten people….”
Cheche only said things that were calm, indifferent, and annoying to Evil. He was so flabbergasted that even that Evil repeated it.
“Ten people…. Just ten people? You saw it right in front of you during the earthquake tsunami, but you think my ability is only worth ten people?”
“Eleven people….”
“……”
“…Twelve people.”
“Fuck, you’re making fun of me right now.”
Evil strode toward Cheche. People internally screamed thinking he would hit him, but all Evil did was mess up Cheche’s hair rather roughly. Surprisingly, Evil already had a smile at the corners of his eyes.
“You’re saying I’m only worth twelve people?”
“Of course it’s a joke. Even a thousand people wouldn’t be enough.”
“Now this kid’s even making jokes freely.”
Evil smiled, narrowing his eyes. From his upturned mouth corners, you could feel he was absolutely dying of amusement.
“Hey.”
Evil placed his large hand on top of Cheche’s crown and bent his upper body to make eye contact.
“If I help deal with icy road accidents, will you praise me again?”
“Yes.”
“I’m such an outstanding person that if I deliberately go around helping, hundreds of times in a few days is nothing. Are you planning to praise me hundreds of times even if I do it hundreds of times?”
“Yes, whether it’s hundreds or thousands of times. Each and every time.”
“……”
“I’ll keep praising you. If you don’t dislike it.”
Evil looked at the black pupils surrounded by gold beneath the long eyelashes. As if to reveal the sincerity you’ve hidden. However, there was no harvest. Because Cheche had no false heart.
“As if I’d do that annoying thing to hear your praise….”
Unlike the content, Evil’s voice was unbelievably soft. People glancing from afar didn’t know, but the eyes that met Cheche’s were also indescribably soft. No one who saw this face could say they were eyes red as blood. Seeing that gaze as soft and warm as spring sunshine.
Only after the elevator arrived and the figures of Evil and Cheche disappeared beyond the elevator did people’s murmuring begin. The conversation they heard clearly with their own two ears spread to others by text, phone, or internet posts. All contained one message.
HAHAHAhahahahahaha
