Chapter 129
“I…… all this time, I only thought Izzen had deceived me and kept resenting him. So even after he disappeared, instead of worrying, I only got angry and fretted about money…… but now, to think Izzen would throw himself away like this, sacrificing himself just to save me…….”
Heesu’s voice trembled as she continued, and Jaeha’s gaze, which had been glaring at Izzen, became even sharper.
Izzen also made a disgusted expression. This was not a welcome misunderstanding for him either.
For him, who presented himself as a villain and mastermind, a development where he was actually a good person was a terrible catastrophe. He said with a serious face.
“I did deceive you, didn’t I? I deceived you in a completely bad way!”
“You did deceive me, but…… wasn’t it actually for a greater cause?”
“What greater cause? Was there a greater cause in my plot that I didn’t know about?”
“That demon said it was actually to protect the lives of humans…….”
“That is absolutely not it! I just tried to deceive human women to exploit their magical power! It was an incredibly evil and crafty plot!”
“Huh? But…… that demon talked about you being a benefactor to humans. Like you were actually a good person…….”
“No! I am a tremendously malicious villain and a cunning mastermind. Please do not demean me in such a way. It is very unpleasant!”
Because Izzen answered so resolutely, Heesu’s face became full of confusion.
……So, according to Izzen, it was true that he had badly deceived her, and he had only tried to exploit magical power without any intention of protecting humans, and that he was an evil villain and mastermind, not a benefactor of humans…….
Does a villain or mastermind usually reveal all that about themselves like that?
“Hey.”
Jaeha, who had guessed the confusion Heesu was feeling without even looking, sighed and said.
“Don’t think too hard. That’s just a crazy bastard. You don’t understand a crazy bastard with your head.”
“Crazy bastard…….”
As Heesu mumbled the word, Izzen corrected her.
“Not a crazy bastard, but a bad bastard. A very wicked villain.”
“Bad bastard…….”
With each person making a different claim, Heesu became even more confused.
Someone was talking as if a certain person was a good guy, someone else was calling him a crazy bastard, and another person was claiming that he was a bad bastard. This situation was too confusing. She was already confused, but now she was even more confused.
Heesu decided to organize her thoughts about this person named Izzen one more time.
Izzen, a suspicious man from beginning to end, no matter what.
He had lured her with sweet talk about making her a magical girl and had led her to have s*x with demons. He had put her in a situation where she had no choice but to have s*x with her subordinate demons periodically. So, it was true that he had deceived her. He had even confessed himself that he had deceived her to exploit her magical power.
Thinking that far, Heesu’s expression soured. She suddenly felt a wave of irritation.
But it was also true that dangerous beings like the demon from yesterday existed. If Izzen had done this to try and reduce such demons, then it was definitely a good thing. As a result, he had protected human lives, so it was also a fact that he was a benefactor to humans.
Furthermore, Izzen was also working with Jaeha to defeat such dangerous demons. If Izzen truly had no intention of protecting humans and only had a selfish desire to exploit magical power from humans, he could have just left those demons alone. But Izzen didn’t do that.
On top of that, he had tried to save her yesterday, even getting beaten to a pulp like that, and in the end, he had asked Jaeha for help and succeeded in rescuing her. It was dizzying just to think about what would have happened to her at the hands of that demon if it weren’t for Izzen. If Izzen was truly a bad person, he could have just ignored her. But Izzen didn’t do that.
And most importantly, Izzen had sent her fifty million won even after he ran away from home. This was a very large share in Heesu’s mind. It was important, so she gave it five stars.
But it was still true that he had deceived her. That was really bad. He was even directly insisting that it was. He was a truly strange person.
“You strange bastard!”
When her thoughts reached that point, Heesu suddenly pointed her finger and shouted.
“Izzen is a truly strange person.”
Izzen complained at her conclusion.
“Strange bastard…… please call me a bad bastard.”
Jaeha agreed.
“Yeah. He’s definitely a strange bastard.”
Izzen, who had been suddenly turned into a crazy, bad, and strange bastard, continued to complain.
“I am a very wicked villain and a mastermind. You were so nicely deceived by my crafty plot, so why don’t you get it? It’s so frustrating, really…….”
“Look at him. I told you he was really strange…….”
Heesu clicked her tongue and said. The more she thought about it, the more strange he was.
But no matter how strange a person he was, she had to properly thank him. Heesu humbly bent her back toward him.
“Anyway, thank you for saving me even after getting into that state. You saved my life.”
Then, Izzen’s expression became even more disgusted.
“Ah, please. Don’t say thank you. It is quite terrible. I only saved you because I needed you. That’s also part of my malicious plot.”
Heesu, whose mood was immediately soured, frowned and glared at him. He was so annoying she wanted to hit him. In fact, since she had been deceived and used this much, didn’t she still have the right to hit him a few times, no matter how much she owed him? Thinking about it, she was disappointed that she had only grabbed his collar so far.
But Izzen was currently in such a bad state that there didn’t seem to be anywhere she could hit him. If it were Jaeha, he would have just picked the most badly injured places to hit him more, but Heesu was a human with an average amount of mercy, so she couldn’t even think of such a thing. Instead, she thoroughly looked him over, searching for a place she could hit him even a little.
“Ah.”
Then, a good idea suddenly popped into her head. Heesu grinned and looked at him.
“Then…… I should be really mad at Izzen right now, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“And you have nothing to say if I get angry and beat you up?”
“Yes. That’s…… right…….”
“Then can I just beat you up now?”
“T-That’s…….”
At that point, Izzen’s expression became uneasy, and he shut his mouth.
Normally, he would gladly let her beat him, but the problem was the condition of his body. How many times had he nearly gone straight to the afterlife last night, only to be dragged back by his collar? He was barely holding on with a minimum amount of magical power after nearly dying. In fact, he was already in danger even now. When the task Jaeha had given him was finished, he had to quickly run to replenish his magical power.
So, if he was beaten up by Heesu now, he would really die, even if her power was like a cotton ball compared to Jaeha’s.
After some deliberation, Izzen finally managed to open his mouth with difficulty.
“Couldn’t you…… wait a little? After I have recovered a bit…….”
“No.”
But Heesu resolutely refused.
“What’s that for a person who’s so angry right now? I should run up and beat you up right away.”
“Miss Heesu… I might actually die if I get hit now.”
“I don’t care if Izzen dies or not. No, isn’t it better for a magical girl if a wicked villain dies?”
This was a logic that was difficult for him, the self-proclaimed mastermind, to refute. Izzen looked at Heesu with an expression that looked like the world was crumbling. Then, Heesu gave a smug, meaningful smile.
“But I’ll let it slide.”
“R-Really?”
“Instead!”
Heesu pointed her finger somewhere and said. In that direction,
“Take this off.”
was Izzen’s hat.
“T-This…….”
As Izzen’s expression became troubled and his eyes shook violently, Heesu became very triumphant.
