Chapter Title: The Villain's Farewell
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On the rooftop of a certain building, where a cold wind raged, two figures stood in confrontation.
"....."
Hovering in the air, her long blonde hair whipping around her, the woman glaring at me was the hero, Stardust.
"Hahaha..."
And I, confronting her, was undeniably this world's villain.
"Alright, Egoistic. Your little game is over. What more do you plan to do now?"
She glared at me, her words sharp and cold.
This was me, being reviled by a hero for taking a few hostages and causing a terror incident. Well, I suppose it was to be expected...?
The name of the woman opposing me was Stardust. Her real name was Shin Haru.
She was righteous, never overlooked injustice, kind, and strong-willed.
The protagonist of this comic I had transmigrated into.
For years, I had been her nemesis. If you asked why... well, truthfully, it was all for her sake, but... she would never know that.
Hiding my true thoughts, I flashed a villainous grin before speaking to her.
"Yes. You did very well this time too. Very well. You truly are the nemesis I acknowledge."
As I clapped exaggeratedly in the air and spoke, she frowned and shouted at me.
"I don't need your acknowledgement, you piece of trash!"
Right. Alright, alright. My bad. But the problem is, I'm flying with psychokinesis right now, and the active time for it is almost up. If I mess this up, I'm going to plummet to the ground below.
So, let's finish this quickly. My final farewell.
"Yes, Stardust. Yes! You've always been like this. You were always the first to see through my 'games,' to confront me, and to track me down like this... it was always you."
At my words, she stared at me as if asking what I was talking about. Uh, she just flinched like she was about to fly over here. Hey, I still have the detonator for this building, you know? Don't come any closer, kid.
"Anyway, I think this will be my last 'game' today. You've already grown up. There's no longer any need for you to play with me. Most likely, I won't be targeting you anymore. Goodbye, Stardust."
"....What? Wait...!"
After saying everything I wanted to say until the very end, I whipped my cape forward and quickly teleported away.
And the last image of Stardust reflected in my eyes as I departed was...
Her eyes were trembling violently. What the. Why's she like that?
