​

After sharing a brief self-introduction with Nari Kang, who is newly working at the cafe.

After leaving the employee lounge, Eunha went to the kitchen and quietly helped Ban Harin organize the dishes.

Bangul left the cafe with Kang Na-ri to settle her private debt.

There is still time to spare before the store opens.

“It’s a new employee… If I had known this would happen, I would have applied as an employee.”

“I think a debt collector would rather work hard than someone who said he was an ordinary office worker but hid that he was an employee of an association for three years.”

Eunha spits bitter words at Ban Harin, who complains that she wants to work at a cafe too.

I’m not particularly angry, but it’s true that I’m upset, so I’ll continue to use it in the future. If this happens, Banharin won’t lie again from now on.

“……Indeed. I have nothing to say.”

Ban Harin takes a step back with an expressionless face because he still has many secrets to hide.

She wiped the mug she took out of the cupboard and explained the information she knew to Eunha.

​

​

“Kang Na-ri of the Blue Dragon family… I didn’t recognize her at first because of her shaggy hair. I heard a rumor that her potion business failed and she was pushed out of the successor race, but I had no idea that such a big name would be hired as a cafe employee. Indeed, Eunha sir.”

“There were rumors like that.”

“That’s right. This is something that any low-level civil servant should be familiar with.”

“That concept is going to continue.”

He continued his explanation, paying no heed to Eunha’s complaints.

“These days, large corporations have become very scary. Before the emergence of Hunters and the cracks, the social economy was driven by money, but now, based on abundant capital and manpower, [large guilds] are created and powerful armed groups are manipulated as they wish.”

“Like how nobles recruited private soldiers in the Middle Ages?”

“That’s right. That’s why there is a constant struggle of power between the ‘Hunter Association’, a national organization, and the [Four Major Guilds], which represent domestic guilds.”

Although the Hunter Association holds the legal authority, most of the actual authority appears to lie with the large guilds.

Honestly, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why are the words so long?

“Can you summarize it in three lines?”

“There is a political fight between the association and a large guild. The guild has the upper hand. The association is angry.”

“Thanks for the summary.”

Ban Harin quickly summarized his words and shrugged his shoulders with an exaggerated gesture.

Additionally, it is said that the association recently announced the [Galaxy Potion], bringing a lot of influence and authority to the hunter society.

The quantity and quality of potions are directly related to the hunter’s survival rate, so much so that even the most arrogant [4 major guilds] bow their heads.

​

Is it another [Galaxy Potion]? What on earth is that potion that is causing such a fuss?

This is something Eunha, who has never used a potion in her life, would not know.

​

While chatting, Ban Harin was collecting cute animal characters through smartphone games. She showed Eunha her smartphone screen with her usual expressionless face.

A honey barrel-shaped flower was growing in the center of the screen. When I tapped the screen at Ban Harin’s recommendation, the flower bud opened wide and a round baby bear with bee stripes popped out and rolled around in the grass.

Eunha was a little amazed at the sight of the bee bear toddling around the green farm, and Ban Harin quietly gave a thumbs up, seemingly getting the desired response.

​Ban Harin still doesn’t show any emotions, but he somehow looks happy.

Did you say the name of the game was ‘Raising Bbangsilpong’?

Should I try installing that game too?

​

“But Eunha, how are you feeling? Are you dizzy or short of breath?”

​

Suddenly, Ban Harin, who had put his smartphone away, placed his hand on Eunha’s forehead and asked.

Was he waiting to be left alone with Eunha?

Her golden eyes ‘observe’ the galaxy up and down.

“……It’s only been two days since you did that during the promotion exam, but surprisingly, there’s nothing wrong with it. Are you a monster?”

“Mr. Ban Harin also took off his eye patch.”

“Thank you for your concern. Fortunately, there is no problem with your eyesight. Rather, the problem is Eunha’s [self-recovery].”

Ban Harin groped Eunha’s soft body.

After being caught disemboweling herself during a promotion exam, she became extremely interested in the [Self-Recovery] skill.

In fact, it is surprising that the wound, which was expected to result in death from shock or excessive bleeding, recovered in an instant.

It’s a recovery ability that automatically makes you understand why Eunha’s body hasn’t been able to gain muscle.

“No matter how quickly your body recovers, you will definitely feel the pain. How surprised I was when I found Eunha in the association bathroom…”

“Wouldn’t it have been better if I had been promoted to E-class?”

“Can you say that? I feel like I want to take Eunha to the hospital right away and get her mental state checked first.”

Since then, Ban Harin has been nagging him, telling him that he is treating his body carelessly because he has good recovery ability, and that he or Eun Bangul can help with most problems, so he should not do anything strange and rely on others.

Eunha is not the type of person who harms herself due to stress, so why is she making such a fuss?

For some reason, I feel like Ban Harin’s worries have increased since he took the promotion test.

​

Her increased interest is burdensome, but… let’s think that good things are good things.

Except for Eunbangul or Banharin, who would pay this much attention to a lifelong F-level hunter who failed the promotion test 30 times?

Even though he has now become an E-class hunter, the tag of ‘promotion test master’ will never disappear.

The only attention that has always been directed at Eunha is ridicule and pity.

In that sense, I can only be grateful for Ban Harin’s genuine concern.

Let us accept it gratefully.

Indeed, I won’t tell you about the [Black Book] and ‘those things’ even if I die, but I can freely tell you about minor concerns.

Tuk-tuk.

“Ouch. Why are you hitting me on the side all of a sudden?”

“Thank you. It’s almost time to open the store, so let’s get ready.”

“Leave it to me. Do you know? One of the people in the world who drinks the most coffee is a low-level civil servant.”

Eunha prepared a cafe with Ban Harin, a regular customer who makes strange noises as usual.

Nothing much happened after that.

When a customer comes, I take their order, make coffee, and occasionally talk to the customers who talk to me.

There was also a customer who congratulated Eunha on passing the E-level exam.

They were very happy when I gave them a pretzel as a treat along with a thank you note.

“Can I just share it with you like that?”

“This is all I can repay right now. It’s okay since I’m only doing this yesterday and today.”

He responded to Ban Harin’s words and greeted the guests with his usual smile.

Although the number of customers has increased recently, it is still relaxed. This is a natural result since there is no need to hold a separate event or solicit customers.

A quiet cafe that claims to be a hidden restaurant that only those in the know visit.

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t help but think of it as a store opened by the daughter of a rich family as a hobby.

Not only does he offer to pay off Kang Na-ri’s debt without any hesitation, but what kind of money does Bang Bang have to do that?

Where did you find gold?

“I’m here~!”

“You worked hard, Bell. What about Kang Na-ri?”

“I sent Na-ri home after stopping by the bank and the beauty salon. She will go to work tomorrow. Is she really a different person? You’ll be surprised when you see her.”

​

Just then, Eunbangul, who had returned to the store, approached Eunha and hugged her.

The rabbit girl flicked her white rabbit ears and bumped her head against Eunha’s chest, and several guests who watched the scene happily whispered.

​

‘… … It’s peaceful.’

Eunha patted the girl on the back and looked around.

Ban Harin is making strange noises next to him.

Silver drops that stick together and stick together.

Kang Nari starts a new job starting tomorrow.

And Eunha became an E-class hunter…

Things that don’t change, things that change.

A lot has changed in one month, but it is still a peaceful time.

My mind felt much more at ease after being promoted to Class E, so I accepted it as happiness.

Eunha felt happy.

I hope that the peace before our eyes will continue in the future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hello. Are you Eunha?”

“……?”

5:30 PM.

way home.

When Eunha broke up with Eunbangul and was returning home, dragging a suitcase containing [The Black Book].

On the way to Saetbyeol Apartments, I received a call from a woman.

It was the first voice I heard.

As I turned my head in confusion, I saw a woman decked out in stylish clothes approaching Eunha, taking off her black sunglasses.

“Greetings. I am Jeong So-ra, a scout belonging to the [Changcheon Sword House]. Congratulations on your promotion to E-class.”

“Ah. Yes. Thank you.”

So-ra Jeong, a woman who introduced herself as a guild scout, smiled brightly as she held out her business card.

There is no hostility. All I see is a suspicious ship.

The guild called [Changcheon Swordsman] is also familiar with the galaxy. Isn’t it one of the most famous ‘four major guilds’ in Korea?

A battle guild that protects the capital along with the Blue Dragon Guild. While the Blue Dragon Guild hunts monsters that emerge from the west coast, the Changcheon Sword Family deals with monsters that come from the northern border.

A guild created by civilians is taking over the work that was originally supposed to be done by the country’s military. It is difficult to properly estimate the extent of its status and influence.

‘Why is such a guild handing me a business card?’

Eunha took the business card and glanced down.

The knife and pistol strapped to Jeong So-ra’s waist… she is not an ordinary hunter because she can confidently carry such weapons.

“I watched Eunha’s performance in this promotion test. No matter how many times she fell, she got back up and eventually became an E-class hunter… As a guild scout, I was very impressed.”

“Ah yes.”

“I saw potential in Eunha. Candidate 30 for the E-level exam? Jibakryeong for the promotion exam? What does all that have to do with it?”

talk too much.

They say scammers talk a lot, but is this person like that too?

As Eunha hurriedly prepared to leave like a person receiving religious advice on the street, Jeong So-ra sensed this and said with a friendly smile.

“I came today just to say hello. I tend to think that for a good relationship, the more urgent you are, the more you have to go back. Let’s talk slowly later in a quiet place.”

Today is not the only day, right?

With those words, Jeong So-ra waved to Eun-ha and left. As I stare blankly at her driving away in a luxury sedan, it feels like a storm has passed.

Is this how guilds scout these days? This is my first time experiencing something like this, so I have no idea.

“……What is it?”

Eunha, who was thinking deeply as she looked down at the [Changcheongeomga] business card in her hand, folded the business card in half and put it in her pocket.

When I worked hard for three years, they didn’t pay any attention, but when I was promoted to E level, I received a business card. Now you come?

Is it because Eunha’s personality is twisted that anger rises before joy?

Perhaps Hunter Jeong So-ra also stepped down today because she knew Eun-ha would not like it.

“Well… a good thing is a good thing. I got scouted too.”

I decided to take it easy. Because it’s not Eunha that’s urgent.

Jeong So-ra said we should talk slowly later, so you can think about it again then.

If you’re worried, you can ask for help from Ban Harin, an employee of the Hunter Association.

It’s no big deal.

It’s just that a large guild recognized the galaxy’s potential.

Eunha, in a good mood, entered the apartment complex with light steps, dragging her suitcase.

Today again, I said hello to the elderly security guard who was sitting in the security office brushing his clay doll, and passed by the Saetbyeol Apartments parking lot as the sunset was setting.

Now that I think about it, the moving vehicles that were lined up in the parking lot until a few days ago have disappeared.

Is the moving all over? There were more than one or two households leaving the apartment… but no one was actually moving in.

weird.

At this rate, wouldn’t Eunha be alone in the apartment?

With such trivial thoughts in mind, I looked up at the apartment without thinking.

『… … .』

『… … .』

『… … .』

『… … .』

『… … .』

and…

My eyes met numerous human silhouettes looking down at the galaxy from my apartment window.

… … ah! My neighbors are very interested in me.

Eunha waved her hand and greeted them.

As she became an E-class hunter, she realized that the interest from those around her had increased.
