I Became a Framed Villain

95 – Runaway (5)

“Ha ha ha…”

“…….”

Kang Ha-neul, who managed to escape the security guard’s pursuit with Pandora and managed to enter her room, wipes her sweat with a rough breath.

“…Are you okay?”

Then, Kang Ha-neul carefully places the Pandora on his back on the bed and asks a question.

“You look a little sick for some reason.”

“…….”

“Did the sprained waist go wrong…?”

As he muttered that, he stretched out his hand to his waist, and Pandora, who had a hard expression on her face, started shaking his head as hard as she could while shaking her hand.

“…Are you okay?”

＞ Omg!

“No, no matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look good…”

However, Kang Ha-neul placed his hand on her forehead with a worried expression.

“Look. Your forehead is hot.”

– Burr…

“…Pandora?”

Then he begins to look down at Pandora, who begins to tremble all over, with questionable eyes.

＞ Dear.

＞ Stay away from me.

“Huh?”

After avoiding his gaze for a while and laying down his eyes, Pandora suddenly chatted quietly.

＞ If you keep going like this, I might attack you…!

“What nonsense again, that.”

Her river sky asks with a puzzled expression, and she starts typing on her smart phone with her ears blushing.

＞ My heart beats strangely when I see your face from a while ago…

＞ My body just gets hot, and I keep having strange thoughts…

＞ This is obviously an abnormal situation…!

Her river sky began to look at her with her dazed expression.

＞ It must have been that the enemy’s ability had begun to take effect too late for me.

＞ If I continue like this, I might attack you like those zombies.

＞ So it’s better to get away from me as much as possible. Or what if I leave the room now?

Then he quietly tilts his head and opens his mouth.

“Then you’re in danger?”

＞ It doesn’t matter! Anyway, if you change like those girls, you will become friends and won’t be attacked.

＞ And, it doesn’t matter if you want to protect your friends!

Then, with her spirited expression, she sends her a chat and shows off her back.

– Wooddeuk…

But once again, when her strange voice resonates from her waist, she sits down in her seat as she is with a teary face.

:”……….”

Pandora and Kang Ha-neul stare at each other for a while.

“…I don’t care.”

“…….?”

“It doesn’t matter if you lose your temper and attack me.”

After a while, when those words came out of Kang Ha-neul’s mouth, Pandora’s whole body began to harden.

＞ Mu, mu-mu-mu-mu, what are you talking about?

＞ Was it fake, not real?

＞ Am I completely fooled by the plan for a grand game?

Before long, she sent her chat with her hand shaking.

“No matter how injured your body is, I can easily subdue you, Pandora.”

＞ Ah.

“So I think there’s no problem if we keep hanging out together, right?”

However, in response to her river sky’s fairly common sense answer, she nodded her head sullenly as she put on a somewhat bitter expression.

“…And, if not.”

“……?”

“Somehow if it were you…”

The very moment when her river sky, staring at her like that, muttered in a small voice, slightly avoiding her gaze to the side of her.

– Rustling…!

“”………!””

A clear gesture of presence, heard from under the bed.

＞ Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni, dear. aaa

＞ It’s an ambush! It’s a resonance trap!!

“…Shh.”

Unknowingly, Pandora, hugged by Kang Ha-neul, starts tapping the batter with a frightened expression, while he sharply opens his eyes and quietly lowers his body to check below.

“…….Hmm.”

＞ Why then? Meme? Are you also an assassin who came to kill us?

Soon after, his expression darkened slightly, and Pandora began to cry while hugging Kang Ha-neul even more tightly.

– Suddenly…!

“…….!!!”

Then, she starts to flinch hard like her cat who saw a cucumber at the sudden movement of an unknown being who suddenly lifted her body up and appeared.

“…Well.”

The calm voice of Kang Ha-neul, who stroked her hair and reassured her, resonated in the room.

“Are you unaffected as well?”

“…Impact?”

At that voice, the girl who appeared from the darkness and her eyes glowed slowly opened her mouth.

“What’s up?”

Until then, the concept of death, which had been left in the room of the river sky and rolling around on the floor, was tilting its head with a puzzled expression covered in dust.

.

.

.

.

＞ Go away!!

“………?”

As the concept of death begins to come to them before they tilt their heads like an innocent child, Pandora begins to swing her arms in fright.

“Calm down, Pandora.”

＞ That’s right! What if this happened because of that guy?

“It can’t be. The concept of death is the ability to deal with death itself. It doesn’t induce the kind of complex behavior that women have shown so far.

But when her river sky calmly persuaded her, she quietly lowered her arms and put on her embarrassed face.

＞ I’m glad if that’s the case.

＞ Well, by the way. Could you please stop?

＞ If you accidentally touch it, everything you’ve lived up to here could be for nothing…

Kang Ha-neul nodded her head in her quite realistic chat, her eyes shining as she spoke to the concept of death approaching her own.

“Hey, you. How good are you at running?”

“Running…?”

Then she thought for a moment, and then she answered clearly.

“I’m good at running.”

“Unexpectedly. You must have good motor nerves?”

“In the laboratory where I was, all the children were always doing survival activities with the goal of survival. The better the physical strength, the higher the survival rate, so it’s only natural.”

At those words, Kang Ha-neul and Pandora shut her mouth and start to notice her.

“…I’d like to apologize if I touched a bad memory?”

“An apple? Why do you need an apple?”

“Memories of that place…Wasn’t it terrible?”

“I don’t know.”

Eventually, when Kang Haneul cautiously spoke to her, she shook her head with a nonchalant expression.

“Anyway, I’m good at running. I can run as hard as I can if need be.”

“…Thank you, that’s it.”

Her river, the sky, quietly watching her, murmurs in her low voice.

“It’ll help you get out of here quite a bit.”

“Escape?”

“From now on, we will leave the Dominating Hands. Risking our lives.”

“Is it survival?”

Then she asked, her eyes shining.

“…I don’t know exactly what I was doing at the time, but I think it’s something similar.”

“Oh.”

“You can’t kill people.”

When Kang Ha-neul added in a low voice to that figure, her expression of the concept of death turned sullen for an instant.

“Minimum contact. Avoidance rather than engagement, okay?”

– Nod, nod…

“You’re actually stronger than me, so I won’t protect you separately. And Pandora, you…”

Kang Ha-neul turns his gaze to Pandora, thinking that it was a good idea to tell him in advance.

“You have the crucial role of hacking into the Dominating Hands facility and unlocking the gates.”

“………”

“Can you do it?”

At his question, Pandora, who looked down at the screen of her smartphone with her head lowered for a while, noticed him and sent a chat.

＞ You, sir.

＞ A problem occurred.

“What’s wrong?”

＞ The entire headquarters is being engulfed by powerful jammers, making remote control impossible…

“Hmm…”

＞ If possible, you can offset it with your own equipment, but it seems that the enemy decided and prepared it. It is not easy to analyze the wavelength…

Kang Ha-neul was quietly thinking about those words, but then opened his mouth again.

“So, how else can you take control of HQ?”

＞ Just operate the main computer in the control room. It’s a self-designed system, so it doesn’t take long…

“That’s all right.”

＞ That’s right.

As he nods quietly, Pandora’s worried chatter flies in.

＞ Wouldn’t it be dangerous to go directly to the control room? Since it is located at the very core, of course the spy will be guarding it most carefully.

“Don’t worry about that.”

Then Kang Ha-neul smiled quietly and placed his hand on her shoulder.

“…..! ……!!!”

“Are you saying that I only have to protect you until I get there?”

“………”

Her body trembled again at her sudden touch, but her movements gradually quieted down at his soft voice.

“…Now, the only thing left for me is you.”

In her ear, Kang Ha-neul whispers in a low voice.

“So, I’ll protect you at all costs.”

“………”

“…Get it?”

After gently stroking his head, he got up from his seat and started rummaging through the drawers of the room.

“Today, I’ll rest here for a day to replenish my strength, and then I’ll be leaving tomorrow morning. I don’t know how long the escape will be, so it’s better for everyone to pack food in the room…”

‘If, if… I’m not under the influence…’

After watching his back, Pandora silently lowered her eyes and muttered inwardly.

‘Then this awkward pounding…’

“Hey, Pandora.”

＞ Why, why then?

She is startled by the call of her river sky and asks back to her chat.

“Can you pass through the jammer and send a message to the outside world?”

A short message consisting of

＞ Characters is acceptable. But why do you ask that? Are you going to ask the male villains for help?

“…No, it will only make things worse. I’m not very close with them, so I can’t trust them.”

＞ Who are you going to send it to?

Kang Ha-neul let out a deep sigh at the question, then answered with a wry smile.

“To a b*tch.”

＞ ???

“Yesterday’s enemy is today’s comrade.”

Familiar contacts popped up on his smartphone.

[Lumia: Senior, didn’t you see the message?]

[Lumia: You’re popular, too. You haven’t seen it for hours.]

[Lumia: You didn’t block me, did you?]

That night. An empty lot on an artificial island shrouded in darkness.

[Lumia: Senior?]

[Lumia: Senior.]

[Lumia: Honey.]

(Omitted)

Sitting on a bench in a deserted place as night fell, Lumia’s blank eyes, which had been sending messages alone over public Wi-Fi for hours, suddenly began to shine.

[RiverSky: Help.]

“…Is it a dream?”

It was because the person who had been waiting for me for several nights had sent me the coordinates along with a short message.
