I’m the Villain, but My Boyfriend’s a Superhero! – Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Response from the Abyss Boys find it difficult to refuse girls’ requests, especially naive little boys of sixteen or seventeen. Kazumi, who spent most of her previous life as a good-natured person, realized this long ago but had never been able to change this bad habit. Children in their adolescence who have never interacted with women naturally have a good impression of them, and the prettier they are, the better the impression. Although Kazumi doesn’t think her looks in this life are outstanding, they are within the normal range. Moreover, from Noyoru Yokota’s perspective, her willingness to help directly increased his favorable impression of her. It was easy to deceive a fool of a child by using the advantages that come with being a female body. Besides, simply inviting someone to the library to read is not an excessive request at all, so it was natural for the boy to agree. It’s not just the warriors who slay dragons; the common people who were once oppressed by evil dragons eventually resembled evil dragons themselves, and they even did it quite skillfully. Perhaps when things go smoothly, everything becomes easier. Later, in a conversation with Noyoru Yokota, Kazumi was surprised to discover that this seemingly ordinary black-haired boy had already obtained an internship qualification at a Hero Agency last semester. The days he took off were for internship tests. Furthermore, the place where he would be interning in the latter half of the year was the Muscle Max Hero Agency, where “Sergeant” Yohta Sakuraoka is stationed. It is known that this Hero Agency, founded by the civilian hero Yohta Sakuraoka, has become a sacred place for all physical ability users under the promotion of the Heroes Association. Of course, his own strength fully supports the title of the strongest physical Hero Agency. Yohta Sakuraoka, ranked 211th, may not have a particularly high hero ranking, but he succeeded in doing what heroes with abilities can do as a civilian. Apart from his special equipment tailored for hero activities, through some strange physical training methods, in terms of pure physical combat power, even those combat fanatics ranked hundreds of places higher than him might not be his opponents. In addition, as a meritorious hero of the previous century and a strong practitioner who also stands at the peak of physical enhancement abilities, Yohta Sakuraoka’s father, “Gouketsu,” serves as the agency’s ability trainer. This Hero Agency, with its somewhat chuunibyou-sounding name, is the most sought-after choice for all physical ability enhancers, or those who wish to develop their close combat skills as their primary ability. Although Noyoru Yokota usually spends his free time reading a book while working here, and judging by the fact that he can study at Shikoku Gakuin with a civilian background, his grades should be quite good. But Kazumi didn’t expect that this colleague and senior she met casually at work had such exceptionally good grades! “Sergeant” is an extremely disciplined and powerful hero, and his strict demands on himself translate to even more stringent requirements for his agency. The fact that Noyoru Yokota managed to stand out among so many excellent hero graduates nationwide and secure one of the few internship spots is not something that can be simply explained by luck. [So, besides his theoretical achievements, does his ability have the potential to be valued by professional heroes?] Looking at Noyoru Yokota, who was enthusiastically talking to her, the girl recalled the red energy the boy had unleashed. … “In that case, we should pay a little more attention to Noyoru Yokota!” In the dilapidated and dim bedroom, the cold, black-haired girl sat on a chair with her legs hugged, holding a water-based pen in her right hand and moving it to the upper left corner of the notebook. Next to the name Noyoru Yokota, which had been crossed out, she added the boy’s name again. Originally, she thought that the biggest use of this hero department student, who looked like a delinquent, would be to slightly leverage his identity as a hero department student to obtain some information that only hero department students could access. As for favors after officially becoming a hero, it was too far away for Kazumi at the moment. But now, this boy, who has obtained the internship qualification at Muscle Max Hero Agency, even foolishly invited her to be his logistics assistant, unconcerned about how many people would flock to this opportunity if it were known to the outside world. Although Kazumi really wanted to accept it at the time, in order to maintain her persona and the reserve expected of a young girl, she tactfully refused his invitation. After all, strictly speaking, she still had “Gouzi” as a backup. If she really couldn’t find a suitable agency after graduation, she could easily find good internship places with the background and connections of the Sato family. Therefore, while this opportunity seemed valuable, it wasn’t enough for her to lower herself to fawn over him. Currently, creating a persona that he would look upon more favorably would allow her to extract more residual value and build a more stable relationship, which is more important. A true capitalist. But regardless, this feeling still made Kazumi secretly delighted. It was like drawing an R card in a gacha game and then it suddenly became an SR card due to a version update. Unintentional gains were quite fruitful, and it was enough to make one feel happy. Picking up the calendar and course schedule to check her schedule, she casually picked up her mobile phone to reply to Noyoru Yokota, whom she had just added as a contact. A cold smile appeared on the girl’s face. As expected, without the constraints of the body’s emotions, manipulating others’ feelings like this is the correct way to open things up. As for that unexpected golden-haired dog of hers… [Doesn’t he reply to my messages even though he has rest time during training?!] She cast a rather resentful glance at the pinned little flame in Noyoru Yokota’s chat dialogue. The girl’s cold little face unconsciously puffed out her cheeks as he still hadn’t replied to her. Secretly humming, Kazumi angrily put her phone into her pocket. Raising her right hand, a coffin emitting a death aura rose into the air, opening a dark entrance of the same size. Walking towards the dark entrance, the sweet fragrance of death assailed her. In just a few steps, the girl traversed space, moving from her room to the land of rotten soil filled with degeneracy and desolation. Beneath the gray sky was lifeless black land. A pillar of flesh piled up from rotting meat stood on the left side of her vision. It seemed as if some creature was squirming within the dense holes, ready to break free at any moment. Directly opposite the girl was a huge obsidian altar, with two green flames drifting irregularly. The coffin with the inverted cross in mid-air was slowly descending, as if it were a divine gift. Her eyes, devoid of any fluctuation, shone with a hint of excitement as the girl walked forward. At the same time, the previously closed coffin seemed to sense the girl’s arrival, and the heavy lid slowly moved aside, gradually revealing what was inside the sacrificial coffin…
