1.Return

How on earth did I go back in time?

Hyun-woo frowned at the question of not being able to get an answer. In the first place, Hyun-woo was not even sure whether it was true that he really went back from the future to the past.

Maybe what Hyun-woo is seeing and feeling now is a fantasy, a delusion that the future he saw will not happen, or a superpower of a girl named Lucia in front of him.

But any of the three, I can be sure it's a shit happens for him.

It's a hell of a damn it. Nevertheless, Hyun-woo regained his peace of mind.

Lucia is the villain who destroyed the world. To be exact, a potential villain topple the Hero Association as a senior executive of the Villain Union in the next 15 years, but you shouldn't do anything stupid about killing Lucia, who hasn't done anything yet, out of resentment. Lucia hasn't done anything wrong with this age yet. Most importantly, it was most important to estimate her thoughts and see if she was a villain from birth that could not be undone at all.

In fact, this is not Hyun-woo's way. Although he wanted to find a more direct and effective way. The judgment now is that any hero, if not him, would have tried to do so; the foolishly nice saintess would have certainly tried to repent of Lucia, even if she was a villain from birth.

Everything is awkward. However, Hyun-woo still had a faint hope for Lucia, so he asked carefully, warming up his blocked throat.

"Well, you said your name was Luchia, didn't you?

"Nope!"

Lucia still looked up at Hyun-woo with empty red eyes and shouted innocently.

"Lucia! That's my name! Don't forget again!!"

"Yes, Lucia. Anyway, what do you want to eat? You must have been wandering for a long time, so choose what you want."

We moved to a hamburger store, not a street where the last cold snap had not gone yet.

Like the streets, there's still feels weird.

The hamburger store clerk smiled brightly at the cute child who was about to order. It was natural to feel reluctant that such a girl would have been indirectly involved in murdering me in the distant future and even killing an employee who smiled at her.

But now Lucia is just a cute little girl.

Looking at her staring at the menu with her ruby eyes, Hyun-woo doubted whether Lucia was really the one who killed her coldly.

The prophet of the future and Lucia of the present are so different.

"Hmm..."

Unlike Hyun-woo, who had been spending a very unpleasant time with such a troubled mind for a long time, Lucia stood in front of the menu and was in quite serious agony.

What the hell does that girl want? It's already been 10 minutes!

"What's taking so long? Aren't you going to eat a hamburger?"

Hyun-woo's patience has already reached its limit. Even if he watch Lucia because it's a future that hasn't happened yet, that's mean doesn't completely forgive Lucia for her future mistakes.

However, the answer from the girl who stood still in front of the counter for 10 minutes was really ridiculous.

"I want to eat, but I can't read!"

"Huh?"

Sigh, but Lucia continued to ask.

"Read that for me!"

He turned to where Lucia pointed his finger. Hyun-woo thought she couldn't read the menu because it consisted of complicated words, but it wasn't.

"Cheese burger."

"Aha! Okay, pops! I got it!"

Lucia nodded steadily as if she had heard a clear answer.

"By the way, what's cheese?"

"ˑˑˑˑˑˑ."

The result was disastrous.

"Cheese is a food that has been fermented milk for..."

"What about fermentation? I don't know hard words!"

"Sigh... just think that the milk has hardened after being left outside for a long time."

"I see… then it's gone bad. I want something else!"

There is this proverb in my hometown.

If you put up with it three times, you can put up with murder, too.

Just before, I almost made a bullshit out of the proverb.

After that, Lucia asked Hyun-woo a lot of questions. Double patty burger, she threw it away because it was too much amount. Chicken burger, she thought it is just a sandwich, so passed on.

Hyun-woo quickly sent Lucia back to her seat because he thought Lucia would ask all the names of the hamburgers on the menu.

"Look here, I brought amazing thing for you!"

Eventually, the menu he chose was a hamburger with chocolate similar to toothpaste taste.

I don't like to mess with food, but.

Hyun-woo felt a strange thrill that he would feed Lucia this mint chocolate hamburger more than any other hamburger. Why on earth? Obviously I don't like this kind of thing, but hamburgers were already placed right in front of Lucia, who was starving.

Maybe it's a grudge. Even with the utmost restraint, it is impossible to make the resentment of killing me completely fade.

Hyun-woo looked forward to next scenes. Lucia's face, which will frown at the sweetness that doesn't go well with hamburgers.

But before that, I had something to ask her.

"Then, please answer one thing before you eat."

"By all means."

"Why did you ask me that question? If I don't raise you, I'll regret it a lot later. As if you already know something."

Twenty years ago, when something unusual began to happen in the world, it became common sense for people with superpowers to be born. Even though I didn't have any. Very few of the chosen had the ability to shake the country.

Among them, the prophet is the best.

She can't control her abilities, but she knows all the future. Knowing the future almost certainly is worth noting both the villains union and the hero association.

What I need to know among them is whether Lucia left such a comment because she knew the future that would eventually kill me. Or I desperately needed to see another prophecy and know if she left such a comment for me.

If it is the latter, I am worried about how to deal with it. But the former would kill Lucia right away.

I've already been through the future.

The villain who repeated the prophecy without trying to find a suitable solution after seeing such a terrible future cannot handle it no matter how much I do.

Therefore, Hyun-woo waited for Lucia's answer. Lucia is slightly troubled with her hand resting on her chubby cheeks. Did you see the future? When my assessment of Lucia was further eroded by the idea that maybe that was also an act.

Lucia pointed at the hamburger and said,

"Just because!"

After shouting proudly, she grabbed only the bread on the top of the hamburger and chewed it as loud as possible with her small mouth.

"I can see the future even if I look like this, but when I said that in the future, I just copied it!"

"That's it?"

"Yeaph! That's it!"

Next was hamburger patty and then mint chocolate.

Hyun-woo couldn't tell whether the puzzled expression was due to Lucia's dumb answer or the strange way to eat a hamburger.

Lucia smiled happily and cutely.

She seemed to like the chocolate that simply made Hyun-woo feel bad.

After all, Lucia knows very little. She came to me because he saw the future, but it was just a copy of what the prophecy showed.

Hyun-woo could be sure when Lucia finally finished eating the bottom hamburger bread.

That she still has a chance.

"...This is not my specialty."

Hyun-woo was suddenly troubled by the fact that he was raising an unwanted villain, but warned, pointing to the only food left by Lucia, who was full.

"Yes, I will raise you. Instead, there is one condition."

"What is that?"

"Eat all the leftover vegetables."

"Uh, oh..."

At Hyun-woo's request, Lucia looked down at the remaining soggy vegetables in the hamburger bag. Lucia, who had been looking down at the vegetables for a long time, was almost about to cry. Peoples said she was a prophet who knew all the future, but this seems to have been unexpected.
