What would it feel like if destruction came to the world?

While following the traces of the assailant to retrieve the kidnapped Eunha, Ban Harin was able to ‘observe’ the disaster occurring in the [Cheorwon Rift Field].

Buuuung!!

A group of ‘bone bees’, which protect their territory all their lives, leave their nest and run through the desolate ruins.

Monsters desperately running away from something. They bump into each other and get trampled like bugs, becoming stains on the floor.

A large group of monsters pour into the [Crack Field], and the screams of the hunters who were peacefully exploring fade away.

“What the hell is this…”

A view from the rooftop of an abandoned building, avoiding waves of monsters.

she saw

Hunters running away, waves of monsters scattering in all directions,

A pitch-black torrent that covers the world like ink.

Sagagagak!!

Dararalalalak!

Jet-black insects were devouring the ruins.

Centipedes, spiders, ants, beetles… all kinds of bugs become one army and run across the cracked asphalt.

“Kwiik…!”

The ‘bone bee’ that was trampled and turned to mush by another monster cries out helplessly.

However, it soon becomes buried in the murky current of insects and becomes invisible.

And then a terrible sound comes out. The sound of tearing flesh and cutting tendons.

The sound of a monster being eaten alive by a small creature scratches Banharin’s eardrums like a dissonant sound.

Paralarak!

After finishing playing one instrument, the bugs immediately disperse to find the next instrument.

Such ‘performance’ could be heard throughout the [Crack Field], and as time passed, the pitiful screams of the monsters could no longer be heard.

What is reflected in the eyes is pure resentment.

Scratching your eardrums is like the sound of insect footsteps.

A concert performed by tiny creatures.

Just like that, the small world called [Crack Field] was being destroyed.

‘Where did this terrible monster suddenly appear… from the direction where Eunha was kidnapped…!’

The sight is beyond despair and awe-inspiring, making me want to kneel down again and again.

Banharin, who was ‘observing’ the surroundings to find the kidnapped Eunha, quickly moved his feet in a growing sense of urgency.

With an expressionless face, she used ‘Body Strengthening’ and jumped towards the rooftop across the street, and a fierce wind wiped away the cold sweat from her forehead.

‘If you touch it, you die.’

Banharin ‘recognized’ the pitch-black bugs as ‘a type of monster.’

A living creature. Beings mixed in with the laws of the world.

But they say there is no business in numbers.

If you swing your sword at a large number of insects, you will be buried and eaten in an instant.

“…….”

The fear of death weighs on Banharin’s shoulders.

Nevertheless, her golden eyes still followed the trail of the galaxy and without hesitation headed to the source of the bug swarm.

The traces of the galaxy lead there.

So here we go.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

At that time, I found a person lying on the open road.

The leader of those who kidnapped the galaxy… He is an A-class hunter who bothered Ban Harin with arrows that kept flying.

Looking at the fact that he still manages to breathe even as insects pass by, he is really an A-level hunter.

Strangely, there are no bugs around the author.

Ban Harin jumped from the rooftop and approached him.

“Where is Eunha?”

“Uh.. Uh… Uh. Uh.. Uh…”

Ban Harin grabs the gunman by the collar and lifts him up.

Her eyes ‘observe’ the guy’s face with a deep murderous look.

Sagagak…

The monster’s skin bulged and moved as he continued his bizarre performance.

“Uh… Uh-. Uh… Uh… Uh…”

“Where is Eunha!!!”

I shouted a little louder.

Only then did the guy who recognized Ban Harin’s presence lick his lips with difficulty.

“Ugh… Eunhaa… Uh… I, I… I…!”

“Where are you, Eunha!!”

“I like playing tag!!”

Fuha!

With a child-like cry, bugs crawled out of the A-class hunter’s body… no, from the human shell that only had skin left.

Ban Harin, who quickly let go of the collar and retreated, suppressed his nausea and fled to the roof of the building again.

Buaaaa!!

A ‘bone bee’ whose flesh has been eaten by insects crashes into a building. The huge body collapses, and pitch-black insects swarm out.

Quick…!

A stream of sticky blood flows from Ban Harin’s eyes after using the ‘skill’ for too long.

“haha…!”

human death.

The sight of a class A hunter being eaten by a mere insect.

Banharin swallows nausea and wipes away bloody tears.

Quang! bang! Kwaang!!

In the distance, one of the criminals who kidnapped Eunha can be seen running away, chasing away the approaching bugs.

Red ‘mana’ flies out from his hand, and the bugs explode along with the ground and scatter in all directions.

He is clearly a hunter with explosive-type ‘skills’ who destroyed the ‘bone bee’s’ apartment during the attack.

It is definitely a good skill for dealing with large numbers of people. Van Harin, who needed information about the galaxy and an effective means of attack, ran towards him.

Kwaaa!!!

However, immediately after, a ‘giant millipede’ broke through the asphalt and hit him with its hard head, digging into the ground.

A B-class hunter crushed by a millipede the size of a train turns into a disgusting stain without even being able to utter a word.

Slurp…

For a moment, Ban Harin lost strength in his legs and sat down on the rooftop.

What is that again?

‘A monster… is it? ‘Is it a monster?’

It’s all wrong.

[Cheorwon Gyeoljang] was ruined.

Maybe this world.

“Eunha…”

like that,

When Ban Harin, with his throbbing eyes closed as if they were about to burst, muttered Eunha’s name on the rooftop without hesitation as if praying.

… … .

… … ♪

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

In the disgusting performance of pitch-black insects.

A beautiful melody flowed.

… … .

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

The quiet sound of a flute.

A heartrending, sad sound that retains the scent of grass.

It was like a complaint.

He said he was here,

There was a wish there that I hoped would be passed on to someone.

Therefore, Ban Harin followed the sound of the flute…

Like an insect attracted by pheromones, I walked aimlessly in the direction of the sound.

“Haa… haa… Eunha.”

And then we met.

Eunha was left alone in the ruined city, playing the flute forlornly.

Suddenly, the pitch-black footsteps of the insects could no longer be heard,

Only Eunha remained and continued her sad performance.

“……Uh, Mr. Banharin.”

Eunha, who was playing the flute with her eyes closed, turned her head towards Ban Harin.

When she found Van Harin covered in wounds, she put down the flute made of some kind of bone and stood up.

“Why are you so hurt?”

“[The crack field] was dark so I rolled over a few times.”

A ruin where the blue light of the ‘crack’ softly falls like moonlight.

Ban Harin wipes the blood flowing from his eyes and looks at Eunha with blurry eyes.

Eunha puts the flute she was playing just now into the carrier on her back and gently closes her eyes to face Ban Harin.

She raises the corners of her mouth seductively and strokes her hair with an elegant gesture.

A few strands of sunset-colored hair capture Ban Harin’s blurred vision.

“…….”

Since when did it start?

The galaxy began to change.

She, who had the [Self-Healing] skill and seemed like she would never change, has changed in a surprising way.

“Mr. Banharin… is always kind.”

At that time, Eunha praised Ban Harin.

Words that are natural, and therefore do not fit the current situation.

Ban Harin, who had been squinting his eyes from overuse of ‘skills’, wiped his face like a habit.

“…….”

There is a lot I want to say.

What happened after being kidnapped by the assailants?

How can one be safe in the middle of a swarm of insects?

Sagagakㅡ.

How is it that, in the midst of this disaster, one can smile so carefree?

“……I also like Eunha’s soft heart.”

But Banharin closed his blurry eyes.

In his usual cold voice, he added words of praise.

Because I was scared.

If I take one step forward from here, the peaceful daily life I had up until now… felt like my days with Eunha would be shattered.

She has deceived Eunha with clumsy lies,

I had no choice but to suffer alone, regretting the water that had already spilled.

“There’s a lot of blood flowing. Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Actually, it really hurts. Can you see me crying because of the pain?”

Because of this, Ban Harin closed his throbbing eyes.

I turn my eyes away from the corpses of ‘bone bees’ scattered around Eunha, and don’t get close to Eunha, whose mood is different from usual.

A dozen steps.

The distance between Eunha and Ban Harin is facing each other.

“[The Rift Field] is a very dangerous place. Monsters are monsters too, but I never thought they would be kidnapped by people.”

“Who wouldn’t? Next time, I’d rather go to a place with a lot of hunters.”

But, someday…

I want to see Eunha’s beautiful face even a little closer…

Greedy Banharin thought so.

“Oh, by the way, I got a lot of herbs while Mr. Banharin was away. Please check later.”

“Okay… But, how about fastening the front buckle a little? It’s going to spill.”

Was it frustrating because it was small? Ban Harin said, staring at Eunha’s front button, which was unbuttoned all the way to the solar plexus. Her clearly exposed cleavage sways gracefully, showing off her presence.

Eunha, startled by Ban Harin’s words, comes to her senses and hurriedly adjusts her shirt.

“I sensed a joke even though I couldn’t see it.”

“Ha, haha… Why did I do this? What is this, where is the button?”

Seeing Eunha smiling mischievously while blushing with embarrassment,

Ban Harin narrowed his throbbing eyes…

I smiled softly.

… … .

​

… … that day,

The face of ‘you’ after a long time,

Without even trying to hide his mischievous smile, he took light steps in front of me, using the blue light of the crack as moonlight.

​

It’s like a butterfly with its beautiful wings spread wide…

“I’m so fortunate to have a friend like Mr. Banharin… Then, shall we go back now?”

“Okay. I want you to check again to see if you forgot anything.”

​

He was so lovely and proud.

​

… … .

… … .

“Oh… what is it? Are two blind men walking together in harmony?”

“If you think about it, there was also a ‘mouse’… When did he come?”

“I’m a rat whose hobby is stalking. Let’s just ignore him.”

“I can’t run right now because I don’t have any mana. Is that really true? I almost died trying to avoid crazy monsters…”

Eunha closed both eyes, and Ban Ha-rin blinked, her eyes blurred due to excessive use of ‘skills’.

They picked up the ‘mouse’ who was on top of the telephone pole like a cat, and headed towards the entrance of the [Crack Ground].

For some reason, I can’t even see the monster inside the crack.

Eunha, who thought everyone was taking a nap in the nest, hums.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

A familiar and mournful rhythm.

Ban Harin asked if she had ever studied music, but she shook her head because she had never attended school, let alone a music academy.

“Eunha!! You’re safe! There are three injured here!! Quickly apply the potion!”

“The list has been confirmed, excluding 8 members of the Hunter Association!”

“Wow, Jeong So-ra is there too. What’s going on?”

“It has nothing to do with us. I’m tired, so let’s quickly settle the bill and go home.”

“great.”

“…By the way, who will drive us?”

“What did you ride, Mr. Mouse?”

“The trunk of your car.”

So, a little commotion, an attack,

At the end, the sound of insects mixed with the smell of grass,

The first [crack field] exploration of the galaxy’s life has ended.

I thought good things were good things.

It was painful and difficult, but it was so rewarding.

A place called [Crack Field]… It’s a very dangerous place.

“Let’s take a picture as a souvenir. ‘Mouse’ is also standing on the left.”

“Can I join in?”

Eunha settled the magic stones and herbs collected at the checkpoint.

Soon, against the backdrop of the magnificent curtain of the [Crack Field], three people covered in dust and blood took pictures.

Ban Harin narrows his painful eyes and gives a thumbs up.

A ‘mouse’ that has a strange expression on its face after being caught by its long tail by Ban Harin.

And, Eunha stands in the middle of the two people, smiling languidly with her eyes closed.

Sagagakㅡ.

Ta-ga-da-gak.

please,

Today’s fate.

Like the performance of a small insect that continues…

I hope it continues for a long time to come.

Click~.

… … .

… … .

… … .

『It’s finally coming. It was a lot of hardship.』

“Why are you leaving my house?”

After a while.

Eunha, who shakes her head saying that it is difficult, pushes the ‘mouse’ into the driver’s seat with Ban Harin, and returns to Euncheon-gu, leaning on the soft backseat.

She burst into laughter at the sight of [Bug Princess] opening the front door of her house and coming out.

“The music was really beautiful.”

『Thank you for your existence.』

A seductive girl wearing a black dress and covering her eyes with a black veil.

Grease, Harper, Ant, Fly…

After recalling the people’s names, Eunha entered her house with [Bug Princess] with a mischievous smile.

『Wouldn’t you like to play music with Yeo?』

“I’ve never learned music.”

『I can’t do it. I will teach you by hand.』

Exchanging small compliments as usual,

It was a peaceful holiday.

… … .
