In Episode 3 of "Mr. Villain's Day Off," the story begins with Mr. Villain reflecting on the cold weather and deciding to make the most of his day off. His day takes an unexpected turn when Rooney, a colleague, contacts him about a winter monster that has invaded their headquarters and taken Rooney captive. Although annoyed at being disturbed on his day off, Mr. Villain agrees to help Rooney.
On his way there, Mr. Villain buys mandarins, as Rooney suggests using them to distract the monster. Along the way, he meets a middle-aged woman who tells him about how quickly her household consumes mandarins, and he finds her very likable. When he arrives at headquarters, he finds Rooney trapped under a blanket—a harmless situation he mistakenly assumes is an attack by the monster. Mr. Villain helps free Rooney.
The episode also highlights Mr. Villain's fascination with supermarket buns, particularly panda-shaped ones. He visits the store multiple times, trying a different type of bun each day, but misses out on the panda bun he originally wanted. His attempts to recreate the experience at home with store-bought buns end in disappointment due to a mishap in preparation.
Mr. Villain's day off continues with a visit to the zoo, where he hopes to relax while observing pandas. His outing is interrupted when he encounters an elderly man in need of assistance, whom he helps. This act of kindness leads to a surreal experience in which Mr. Villain aids the old man in what seems like a dream-like state, involving hard labor in the snow.
The episode ends with Mr. Villain waking up, visibly worn out from the ordeal of the dream, as he prepares for the next day. It’s Christmas, and the city is in a festive mood. Mr. Villain reflects on the beauty of the changing sky and the fleeting nature of life, capturing a moment of poetic contemplation.
All in all, Episode 3 of "Mr. Villain's Day Off" weaves a narrative that blends everyday activities, unexpected twists, and moments of self-reflection, presenting a day in the life of Mr. Villain with both humor and depth.
