The Villains Became Obsessed Bosses

Episode 17: The Saint of Myeong-dong.

“Brother. Didn’t we say we were going to the sea?”

“..Ah. I did.”

“..But why are we standing in front of the cathedral right now?”

“..Um.”

I turned my head to Haein and spoke in a solemn tone.

“Do you believe in God, Haein?”

“I don’t believe it!!!”

Currently, before taking the bus to Busan, we briefly headed to Myeong-dong.

Since there were many things to see in Myeong-dong, Haein seemed to be secretly looking forward to it.

I’m sorry, Haein. My brother has some work to do.

Currently, our group was standing in front of Myeongdong Cathedral, looking up at the grand figure of Myeongdong Cathedral.

Crow looked at me as if he was dumbfounded.

“Was the boss Catholic? I can’t believe it…”

“..Still, I tend to live kindly.”

“Bank. Pension. Butcher.”

“Ah. I see. I’m a person who does illegal things.”

Damn it. Are you a winter soldier?

“Please don’t do that too much. Your lord is a good enough being.”

Xiao stepped forward and defended me.

..The reward of saving Xiao wells up.

“He saved me and even punished the wicked. If such a person is not good, then someone is good…”

“Boss citizens have dangerous enemies?”

“…..”

“…..”

..Isn’t it a bit of a foul to reveal the past?

“It must have been necessary. I believe in my lord..!”

“Has the boss ever shot a cop?”

“…………”

“…………”

..This silence was longer.

I gritted my teeth and glared at Crow.

At that, Crow shrugged his shoulders with a mischievous grin.

It’s like…It’s true, what should I do? In the same tone.

..Damn it. Fact, there is nothing more to say.

I shook my head and walked forward.

As I walked, I observed Myeongdong Cathedral closely.

Rather than a cathedral, it looked like a beautiful building that could only be seen in Europe.

The huge clock hanging on the tall building was serving the grace of telling everyone who saw the cathedral the time.

It gave some sense of security to everyone who walked into this place.

I kept walking while observing the cathedral like that.

Soon we arrived at the door leading into the cathedral.

“…Why aren’t you going in, boss?”

Crow, who had been clinging to my back, put his chin on my shoulder and cast his eyes in the same direction as me.

“Hasn’t it opened yet..?”

The following was written on the pet horse placed in front of the door and acting as a gatekeeper.

“Opens at 9:00 am..D.”

It was 7:21 when I looked at the big clock earlier…

There is still a lot of time left.

“..Hmm. Crow?”

“Why Boss?.”

I looked at Haein, who was blowing a lot of air into his cheeks, standing next to Crow and Xiao.

..I should have told you in advance. I noticed that I had been looking forward to it since yesterday.

“…Isn’t there a shopping street in Myeong-dong if you go a little further from here?

“Really?! Okay!”

Crow also pulled Haein’s hand with his eyes shining as if he was bored being in a place like this.

“Let’s go, Haein! Unni will buy everything with a black card!”

I sent it because Haein would be bored.

..Why do you look more excited, Crow?

“..Who is the kid?”

I sighed and pushed the door into the Myeongdong Cathedral.

The heavy door opened strangely too easily.

..It opens so easily.

Something strange…

As I turned my head, I met eyes with Xiao, who was holding a finger on the door.

..You must have pushed it.

I awkwardly opened the door and went inside the church.

“..Oh.”

The view of the cathedral was slightly different from where I was originally.

If the scenery of the original cathedral was a beautiful scenery created with natural light.

The scenery of the cathedral in this world was an exotic and dreamy scenery created by white lights floating everywhere.

“..It’s amazing.”

I reached out for the white light, but as soon as my hand touched it, the white light melted into the air and disappeared.

..This is amazing too.

I walked inside, realizing again what kind of world I had come into.

The light became weaker and weaker as we walked deeper, but strangely, a more pious and holy atmosphere was created.

That’s great. Must have had a hard time making it

I thought about this and that while walking and found a suitable seat and sat down.

It was a long chair on both sides, so Xiao quickly took the seat next to me.

So we sat in silence for a while and gazed at the cross in front of us.

..Somehow, I feel a sense of guilt about the sins I have committed up to this point.

What can I do?

I’m just trying to survive.

…The statement I just made may be controversial.

I thought about this and that, trying hard not to put that cross in my sight that restrained the rising of evil feelings.

“..Lord.”

“..Um?”

Xiao suddenly called me.

“Have you ever regretted something, my lord?”

“…..”

“I don’t know if it’s because of my mood. Standing here, I regret everything I’ve done and feel like confessing. I’ve lived my life serving Heaven, and I’ve done whatever Heaven told me to do. However, after being abandoned by Heaven, now I really …”

“Now, stop.”

I softly put my index finger on Xiao’s lips.

“I know. But stop talking about the sky. You’re living on the ground right now. That’s enough.”

I smiled a little and continued.

“What you’ve been doing up until now. It doesn’t matter. That was when you were living in heaven. Now let’s just look at the days you’ve been living on earth. Okay?”

“..I see. Thank you, lord.”

…After.

I sighed inwardly and looked up into the air with resentful eyes.

White lights were flying like feathers.

..That’s scary. Flame of confession.

To be honest, I thought it was useless when I saw it in the original, but it’s more effective than most confessions.

..The time has come for them to appear.

“It’s not even 10 hours before the cathedral. They are very faithful people.”

While I was trying to calm Xiao, who was about to burst into tears, someone approached me without showing any signs of attention.

I instantly froze.

I turned my body very slowly at the first feeling of presence.

The woman in the white nun’s uniform had a bright smile on her face, but her smile was somewhat precarious and uneasy.

“You must have misunderstood the time. The cathedral is not ten hours yet. I will show you the way out.”

The white nun spoke naturally and tried to lead us out.

If I didn’t know, I would have naturally followed.

Moreover, because of the flames of confession… People who enter this place basically become many times more gentle than their original personalities.

I said, grabbing her Xiao as she tried to follow her.

“I’m not mistaken. The saintess of Myeong-dong.”

“..Oh, you knew me. But I’ll give you an autograph or photo later when the church opens…”

I shook her head and sat Xiao down.

“I didn’t come because I needed something like that.”

Jerbug. That buck

I slowly walked toward the cross that had been in front of my eyes for a while.

“It’s more precious and rare than that.”

I said while staring at the cross.

“Like this 「Cross of Temperance」.”

“..Shindo-nim. It’s one of only seven relics. I’m sorry, but you have to leave..”

“Ha!”

I snorted as if it was ridiculous.

“I didn’t know that the saintess would lie. The white saintess, the magical girl and the saintess of Myeong-dong?”

“……”

The White Saints’ expression turned cold.

“That relic. You can make it any number of times.”

Yes.

It has been given the grandiose name of Holy Relic, but in reality it is nothing more than a high-pressure consolidation of magical girl powers.

Although difficult to make, these are the kinds of things White Saint Teeth could have made if she put her mind to it.

But there is only one reason why the White Saints no longer create other ‘holy relics’.

This is because the rarity of the sacred object must not disappear.

The presence and rarity of the relics is one of the reasons for the immense popularity of the White Saints.

7 New relics appeared with the White Saints!

People related to religion would have been enthusiastic even if they didn’t see it.

It would have been enough to attract the interest and love of people who are passionate about medieval fantasy.

I watched the White Saints for a while.

The White Saints’ hands were shaking.

Resentment over something you didn’t do?

Or the sadness that all those sins came back to you when you had to do it?

No. No

It’s just anger. That one

“…I don’t know where he came from.”

The White Saints slowly raised its head.

“How did you know? I wouldn’t know if I didn’t tell anyone… Are you a villain?”

It was a face contorted with anger.

Hwaahahahahah.

Suddenly, a pure white fire flew at me.

..Crazy.

I never thought I would blow the fire of purification right away..!

I tried to avoid it by throwing myself away, but a butterfly came into my field of vision.

The butterfly was flying in front of me flapping her little wings.

And the butterfly tried metamorphosis.

The figure of the butterfly disappeared and in her place was Xiao holding her spear.

“Suck!”

It was impossible to cut fire with a spear, so Xiao seemed to have chosen another method instead.

He turned the spear violently and swung it like crazy.

The spear went through the fire and left a hole in it for a while.

The short-swinged spear scattered the fire into the air.

The wide-swung spear scattered the fire.

Like a butterfly flying madly in search of a flower.

Xiao swung the spear.

Tamhwabongjeop(探花狂蝶).

The butterfly frenziedly moved her wings to put out the fire.

It seems random, but the spears that were swung in a specific pattern soon completely extinguished the fire.

“My lord! Behind me!”

After defeating all the fire, Xiao immediately began to escort me.

“..Hmph. They were damned villains as expected.”

A row of pure white lights burned around the White Saints.

“..White Saints. Wouldn’t this only be bad for you?”

“Why? Originally, a magical girl’s job is to catch villains. No one will say anything.”

“..One knows, two don’t.”

I sighed and continued.

“I couldn’t have come here unprepared. Aren’t you curious what my hackers would do if I died?”

“…Hmph. You only know one thing and you don’t know the other two. What are you going to do if I pretend? What can you do?”

…Ehh.

“Even if it’s a small suspicion, if the suspicion spreads across the country, I’ll be sure. Then the White Detective will come to investigate the truth… Can the White Detective be fooled?”

“………”

The face of the White Saints became even more distorted as if he had been stabbed to the point.

..Okay.

I smiled slightly.

“White Saints.”

“…..”

“From now on, I’m going to make you an offer you can’t refuse. You won’t lose too much.”

*******

“Okay. Here you go.”

“…Honestly, don’t you feel that you don’t have a conscience?”

The relic was made very easily.

Just as the white saint held her hands and took a prayer posture, white light flashed and they united to form a cross.

…Where did the conscience really go?

How much money are chaebols offering to see the effect of this holy relic?

..Ah. Is it because of it?

If the White Saints were in business, they might be competing with the Crow.

I turned around, sticking out my tongue at the White Saints’ strategy.

“Let’s go, Xiao. We’re done.”

“…I will serve you, lord.”

Xiao, still wary of White Saint Teeth, pulled him back.

“..Wait.”

“?”

The White Saints suddenly called me.

“The 「Cross of Temperance」 You take. You better be careful? That’s…”

..But is it because she’s a magical girl?

He takes care of everything.

“Testing the user’s willpower and mental strength? There’s no need to worry about that, so put it in.”

I replied curtly and looked at the White Saints.

“You’d better be careful. If you reveal my identity, it won’t end with exposing information.”

“…Sheesh. f*ck you.”

..Your mouth is so rough.

A saint of Myeong-dong.

Is it the default for a saint to be corrupted?

As I walked out the door, I saw a handwashing station next door.

..Ah. Right.

“Take some holy water. Good job.”

I took out the five bottles I had brought and bottled them.

Um. Good. All preparations are complete.

“Let’s go, Xiao.”

“…Yes, lord.”

..?

Xiao was looking at the White Saints with pity for some reason.

Is Ash poor?

I turned around and saw the White Saints.

He was trembling with his fists clenched as if indignant.

…What?

“Let’s go.”

I slammed the door and left the cathedral.

Um. You solved it efficiently.

Ignore the voice behind you…”Hey, you son of a b*tch!!!”.

It’s time for the cathedral to open soon, so you should be careful.

Well, I’m busy looking for a way to live, so it’s not my business.

Go for it. White Saints.

******

“…f*ck.”

I got up.

I looked around and there was nothing but black space.

..It seems that the ordeal has begun.

Damn it. Before testing your mind, you said that you randomly show your past memories, but why are these memories?

A highly well-conceived plan of the cross of temperance to elevate my guilt?

I’m sorry, but I’ve abandoned my conscience for a long time.

“…Um?”

I stayed still and turned my head at the sudden presence.

At the end of my gaze, the cross of temperance was placed on the black floor.

“..Is it the start?”

I lifted the cross of temperance silently.

No matter what happens, I don’t have much trauma, so I’ll be fine..

“Myeongam-ah.”

My body froze at the all-too-familiar voice I heard.

“..Myeongam-ah?”

A familiar voice called me again.

“..Ah. Damn it.”

I couldn’t help but sigh.

The Cross of Temperance gnashed its teeth and started raising the difficulty.
