Daaengㅡㅡㅡㅡ.

The bell rings in the morning.

Each person’s morning begins.

Everyday life.

One day.

In the case of Kim Yu-hee.

… … .

Bam!

7:30 am.

Kim Yu-hee, the leader of the Dark Dragons, escaped from Banharin’s house.

She opened the front door forcefully and ran out,

I ran into Eunha, who arrived at Banharin’s house dragging a black carrier.

Po-ok.

An occasional accidental bump into something.

Kim Yu-hee, her orange cat ears perking, suddenly slowed down.

At the same time, Eunha let go of the carrier handle, hugged the cat that had fallen on her, and took a couple of steps back.

thud.

And shock.

Eunha hit the back of her head hard against the pillar of a building.

She hugged Kim Yu-hee with her usual languid smile.

Hug-.

Warmth.

It’s a warm morning.

“Call… Hello. Did everything go smoothly last night?”

“… … Mom.”

“Did you hurt your head?”

Kim Yu-hee’s world was filled with the word warmth.

… … .

“I stopped by on my way to work because I felt like I had to get it to you as soon as possible.”

“Is the back of your head okay?”

“It’s okay because it just brushed against me.”

After returning alive from ‘Hanbit Orphanage’.

Amryongdae and Dojong were locked up in Banharin’s house for one night.

Banharin’s opinion is that it is dangerous to breathe alone while ‘aware’ of the monster.

They were dragged away by Banharin like they were half kidnapped, and had to play console games with Banharin all night long, their bodies and minds exhausted to the point of exhaustion.

(If you escape from other people’s ‘recognition’ even a little, there is a possibility that you will be dragged ‘alone’ into the world of monsters. If that happens, I won’t be able to protect you either.)

(…….)

(So from now on, until Eunha returns, I will take responsibility and ‘observe’ you.)

Sagak-.

Banharin’s ‘Left Eyes’, which captures the living room at a glance.

Even though I was sitting behind her, the gazes poured in.

In Banharin’s left eye, tiny pupils swarmed like insects.

Kim Yu-hee stayed up all night, watched by countless eyes, and played games with Ban Harin until morning.

(As you all know, Eunha, Eunbangul, and I… the three of us would gather at someone’s house every holiday and play games all day long.)

(This is the first time I’ve heard this story.)

(At least until May of this year. So, it’s not like Eunha-nim doesn’t play with me, and I’m not making you guys from the Dark Dragons play games for such childish reasons.)

(Can I ask what the hell is going on?)

The morning that came like that.

I pressed the game console buttons until the skin on my fingers peeled off.

Kim Yu-hee, who had lifted her eyelids that had become heavy to the limit, turned her back to the sight of her subordinate No. 1 struggling with his hair held by Ban Harin.

He put the console game in ‘No. 1’s’ hand and ran away to the front door.

The freedom that came like that…

Somehow, I felt like I wouldn’t be caught even if I ran away.

Was there a galaxy right in front of me?

‘Banharin… How on earth did that woman’s eyes turn out? Is she even a person?’

A brief tantrum.

But I’m not angry. Maybe it’s because of the ‘childhood Banharin’ I saw at the orphanage.

When I think about it, my heart aches for no reason,

Kim Yu-hee, who had quickly straightened her posture, bowed her head toward Eun-ha.

She is a beautiful woman.

The morning sunlight streaming through the window. It falls on Galaxy’s black hair, and the scattered sunset light twinkles like stars.

Even in the chilly weather, a baggy boxy tee and a leather choker with yellow paper hanging around the neck.

A lazy smile is engraved on the corner of Galaxy’s mouth, bathed in warm sunlight.

Thump. Thump.

At the end of the fearful night, at the end of the morning, there was the galaxy.

Kim Yu-hee, who had placed her hand on her heart that had started to beat faster for some reason, brushed her cat ears that had perked up for no reason.

“What about the other members of the Amryongdae and Do Jong-ha?”

“Dojong is sleeping on the sofa. His subordinates have been captured by the devil and are being forced into hard labor.”

“I’m glad you look healthy.”

Health? You look healthy,

Kim Yu-hee blinked and looked at the glass window.

He is tormented by the monsters of the orphanage and has a haggard face from staying up all night.

Kim Yu-hee points to her face with dark circles under her eyes.

Still, the galaxy smiled.

I’m glad you look healthy.

My limbs are intact and I don’t smell any blood.

The area around the carotid artery was clean and free of any wounds or insect bites.

She was sewn all over like a stuffed animal, so there were no iron spikes in her eye sockets.

Then what,

Healthy beggar.

“I guess Banharin protected it properly.”

Dalgrak.

After confirming that they were safe, Eunha reached into her bosom and took something out.

Two silver bracelets engraved with the ‘Inverted Cross’.

I heard it from Banharin.

A safety device to prevent ‘unknown monsters’ from coming.

Dalgrak.

The bracelet I took out of my arms was warm.

Kim Yu-hee, who received the ‘inverted cross bracelet’ from Eun-ha, moves her sharp cat-like eyes here and there.

“Um, no, um, ss, um…”

“I couldn’t get more than two… Please call the other four separately. I’ll take care of them.”

The galaxy said.

A look in his eyes that said he would save her even if it meant erasing her memories of the monster.

But that was only for a moment. Kim Yu-hee, who had been thinking deeply about something, shook her head and threw a bracelet to the Dark Dragon member who had come up behind her.

The subordinate who received the bracelet went straight into Banharin’s house and put the bracelet on Dojongha’s wrist who was lying on the sofa.

Kim Yu-hee, holding the remaining ‘inverted cross bracelet’ in her hand, opened her mouth.

“We only need this one. I don’t know how to erase it, but we don’t need to erase our memories either. ”

“… How?”

There was a moment of silence.

A question that contains quite a lot.

How many seconds passed?

Kim Yu-hee, who had been licking her lips, carefully opened her mouth.

As someone from a large guild’s secret service unit,

A secret that could be life-threatening if told to others.

“… The ‘skills’ for creating clones have something in common. Creating them is possible, but controlling them is impossible. ”

“… … A clone…you say.”

“A self is born. But it is not my self. Someone similar to me, but completely different.”

Knock knock.

Kim Yu-hee taps the crown of the dark dragon member who has approached her.

The frowning agent twitches his orange cat ears and slaps her hand away in annoyance.

‘They’, who have taken off their pitch-black masks, have faces that look like twins.

“Oh my, what’s going on all of a sudden?”

“Then because you’re pretty. Who do you look like?”

“I look like my mom. Who do I look like?”

“Can I bite your butt?”

“Hey, get out of here, Captain.”

puck.

Kim Yu-hee gets hit in the jaw with a subordinate’s fist.

But he is indeed a B-class hunter.

Soon, she looked as if nothing had happened…

I lay on the cold floor and smiled faintly.

If you fall, don’t laugh or anything.

He really is a strange person.

Eunha, who had been struggling to help up Kim Yu-hee who had fallen after being hit in the chin, lets out a bitter laugh.

“You look like you’ve had a hard time.”

“Food and mobile phone bills are 5 times higher.”

Kim Yu-hee turned her head.

Banharin’s house. He took off his black mask.

The Dark Dragon members are seen playing a game with Banharin, with tired but happy faces.

Banharin is surrounded by ‘them’ with orange cat ears twitching.

The sight was like watching a large wolf playing with kittens.

Sagak-.

Banharin’s ‘left eyes’, moving around, send a smile to Eunha.

“… … .”

“My family.”

A clone of oneself with a different self.

Are ‘them’ people?

I don’t know.

Snap!

Then, suddenly, a rabbit flashed across Eunha’s mind.

Eunha, who was touching the corners of her lips, asked Kim Yu-hee a question carefully.

“Then… is your clone afraid of death too?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

And then Kim Yu-hee’s words followed.

The answer that came back without hesitation was like an awl.

It stings.

I don’t know where the pain came from,

Eunha felt pain from Kim Yu-hee’s words.

“저년들 아픈 거 진짜 싫어함. 미친년들이 자기들 알레르기 있나 없나 확인하려고 온갖 음식들 나한테 처먹이는데 아주 개새끼가 따로 없음.”

“Shut up, sister.”

Orange cats bickering amongst themselves.

The galaxy laughed.

‘A clone…’

When you realize that you are a clone,

Can you risk your life without hesitation?

Leaving everything to the ‘next incarnation’ who will take his place,

Will I be able to close my eyes forever?

I wonder if I can pass the baton I’m holding.

… … I’m not sure,

The resentment that builds up like that must be enormous.

‘I met a good person in an unexpected place.’

Kim Yu-hee, the leader of the Dark Dragons.

There will be a lot more questions for her in the future.

Swish….

Always had a smile on her face.

Eunha reached out to put the ‘inverted cross bracelet’ on Kim Yuhee’s wrist.

Kim Yu-hee looks at the galaxy lowering the cross while receiving dazzling sunlight.

Kim Yu-hee, who looked up at Eun-ha’s face as if possessed by something, slowly extended her left hand,

“… … But, where is our soft rice cake? Didn’t it come today? ”

“‘Fly’, right? She’s still sleeping, I guess… What about our baby?”

“When I met him, I wanted to put his cheek in my mouth and make him wala la. I’ve never seen such a cute and confident kid. I have to make him wala la.”

Click.

I slowly lowered the ‘bracelet’ that I was trying to put on my wrist.

Grabbing one of Kim Yu-hee’s feet,

One ankle was stuffed full of it.

“What is it?”

“I feel at ease because it feels like it’s where it’s supposed to be.”

“What is it, Captain? Is it an electronic ankle bracelet?”

Do Jong-ha lying on the sofa with ‘lack of mana’.

‘Inverted cross bracelet’ on the right wrist.

Kim Yu-hee, the leader of the group that loves pumpkin bees.

‘Inverted cross anklet’ on the left ankle.

“Later… Please tell me Kim Yu-hee’s story too.”

I feel relieved now.

In many ways.

Eunha nodded.

… … .

… … .

“Eunha, I will go to the cafe as soon as I finish cleaning the house.”

“Thank you for helping me. Ms. Banharin must have stayed up all night too, so why don’t you just rest at home? ”

“The hunter is fine even if he doesn’t sleep for a few days.”

After a while, Do Jong-ha and Am Yong-dae, who had received the ‘bracelet’, left.

Eunha, who waved at them, also exchanged a few words with Banharin and then continued walking along the path to work where she had stopped.

“Ah… How can I ‘slightly’ break down something like an apartment wall?”

“Are you talking about the wall?”

“Yes.”

“Push it with a car. Mass is power. ”

“Wow. Thank you.”

A galaxy leaving with a strange question.

Kkuruk. The sound of the carrier being pulled slowly fades away.

Banharin, who had been watching the departing galaxy until it was out of sight, returned home.

A house left alone.

Maybe it’s because I met Eunha, but I feel a little lonely.

Shit… Shit…

Only the sound of the collar rustling drifted through the living room,

Banharin walked silently to the TV and cleaned up the game consoles she had used all night.

The house was neatly organized less than 5 minutes after the galaxy left.

Banharin, who hastily finished cleaning the house, changes into a black suit and begins preparing to go out.

‘If I get ready quickly and arrive at the cafe before Eunha and wait, I wonder what kind of expression she’ll make.’

Early morning.

Today is quite enjoyable.

Because I met Galaxy in the morning.

(I guess Mr. Banharin protected it well.)

Just now, Eunha’s words flowed away without a second thought.

Banharin, who was thinking about it, clenched her fist and raised it secretly.

A word of praise.

That was enough.

Suddenly…

A small crack appears on his previously cold expressionless face.

The incontinence resembled a smile.

But soon, she wiped her face away as if it were a habit and returned to her original expressionless face.

I finished getting ready to go out and headed to the front door.

I hope today will be an ordinary day.

With such hope.

Chaenggrang~!

And then,

Behind Banharin, who was taking out black shoes from the shoe rack in front of the entrance,

I heard the sound of a blade falling.

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

7. Store the adhesive tape in a designated place.

– We recommend storing blades at a height that is out of reach of children under 80cm tall, such as in a kitchen knife holder or bedroom drawer.

– Children tend to have accidents when they look away for a moment.

7-1. Sometimes, there are cases where a blade that has not been taken out falls on the floor.

– Cover any fallen leaves on the floor with something soft, like a cushion.

– After that, say, “I found “. The game of tag is over. “.”

– After a while, if you move the soft object away, the sticky substance will be gone.

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

A long cleaver fell into the living room.

Banharin quickly turned his head and looked down at the ‘sword’ that had fallen on the floor.

『Gyaruruk~!』

『Gyaruk!!』

The laughter of children.

Transparent footsteps walk through the living room, which has become as cold as winter.

Sagak-.

The swarming left ‘eyes’ looked around.

I remained calm and observed the ‘monster’ in front of me.

“Wow! Are you Mom’s friend?”

“You waited until you were alone? Your mother told you not to approach strangers.”

“… … .”

A being that the galaxy calls [Transparent Baby].

If that ‘sword’ leaves my sight, will it come closer to stab me?

Banharin thought back to what Eunha had said about that ‘monster’.

(If you take your eyes off the stick, it comes closer.)

(Maybe because they are children, they approach very slowly, so it is easy to escape.)

(But if you keep playing, the circuit breaker will go down and you won’t be able to see anything.)

The rules of [Transparent Baby] that Eunha has learned so far.

How many trials and errors did she have to go through to figure out that rule?

Banharin covered her mouth with one hand.

( Galaxy, what should I do if there is no ‘fluffy object’ nearby? )

( ……I covered the fallen blade on the floor with my chest and… Yeah, it worked.)

That’s true.

Leaving aside the strategy that only Eunha could use, Banharin started looking for something like a soft cushion.

Maybe I should bring a pillow from the bedroom.

Gyaruruk~!

Kyaak~!

The sound of children’s laughter.

The resentment of the ‘monster’ who wants to play.

(I’m worried that I won’t be able to play with [Transparent Baby] much because there are a lot of other ‘monsters’ in the apartment… If it’s okay, could you play with Banharin a little bit when you meet him later? He approaches slowly, so it’ll be okay for Banharin.)

Why do I have to tease someone who’s trying to stab me to death…

I really don’t know,

I think it would be okay if it was at the speed of a child.

‘One minute. I’ll play with you for just one minute.’

The worries were short.

A ‘sliced knife’ fell in the living room. The transparent sound of footsteps running around.

After a while, Banharin,

To see how slowly that [transparent baby] is approaching,

Many ‘eyes’ were slightly closed.

Chae-Ang-!

The sound of a fly moving.

I opened my eyes right away.

“… … .”

The ‘sword’ that fell in the living room,

It was nowhere to be seen.

It was just a simple blink.

Saaak…

Immediately afterwards, an eerie sensation runs down the back of my neck.

Banharin, who felt something creepy, quickly turned around.

Kwak!!

Just above her, the ‘sword’ that was hanging upside down from the ceiling fell vertically,

It grazed Banharin’s cheek as she twisted her body and fell to the floor.

Ugh!

The ‘sword’ that struck down leaving an afterimage had more than half of its blade embedded in the ground.

『Gyaruruk~!』

The laughter of children echoes like a nightmare.

Banharin, who had wiped away the blood, observed the ‘sword’ stuck in the floor.

Thump, thump.

The sound of my pounding heart is loud.

‘Miss Galaxy. You said they were slow because they were children.’

It seems like [the transparent baby] is only generous to Eunha.

Or maybe the speed is different for each ‘playmate’.

The game must be fair to be fun,

It’s probably an attempt to match the opponent’s speed.

『Gyaruruk! Mom’s friend!』

“Are you going to keep playing with me?”

“… Haha.”

I burst out laughing.

Just a blank expression on his face.

I looked at the ‘sword’ stuck in the floor and thought.

The galaxy’s ‘Morning Star Apartment’, where these types of ‘monsters’ live.

That’s why I didn’t want to let anyone into my apartment.

I realize this anew.

‘In other words… when Eunha is in the apartment, no human can harm Eunha.’

Blinkㅡ.

The lights are blinking.

A moment of darkness.

Chae-Ang-!

Banharin uses the [Observation] skill to strike the side of the flying blade with her hand.

A flash of lightning dyes her eyes golden.

The worries were short.

Let’s just give it a try.

If you’re going to just tremble in fear over something like this, it would be better for everyone to immediately take off the ‘inverted cross hairpin’ on your bangs and ask Eunha to erase your memories.

Banharin picked up the shoes on the shoe rack upside down as if they were blunt instruments.

“Okay. I’ll wake you up and play with you for a bit.”

“Gyaruruk! Good person.”

“So, from now on, will you call me dad?”

“Gyarrl… Hey, you weird guy. I want to go home.”

“I can’t go.”

Chae-Ang!

Early morning work.

Banharin played with the child of the galaxy.

It was nothing special.

… … .

… … .

Each has their own story.

A story of everyone living their own lives, shown even for a short while.

Like a kingdom where many people live together.

Sagak-.

And the walls surrounding the kingdom.

The story of a castle wall that stands alone.

“… … .”

It’s almost 8 o’clock.

In a house somewhere, a wounded Banharin who played with [the transparent baby] for a long time,

When I thought that this couldn’t go on, I ran into the bedroom to get a pillow.

The old security guard finished cleaning the parking lot,

I straightened my back like a castle wall and looked around.

Clean wall.

The security office with the lights on.

The 9th floor of an apartment building that still has cracks…

Unlike the ‘wall’ surrounding it,

It seems like repairing the apartment located inside is quite difficult.

“… … .”

And, outside the apartment,

Behind a streetlight on the other side of the wall,

The galaxy, quietly hiding its body, was secretly watching the old security guard.

“… … Huh…”

A woman hiding behind a streetlight.

However, the chest is larger than the head, and parts of the lower body stick out from the side of the streetlight.

Just looking at that appearance, I can tell it’s Eunha.

It’s just a galaxy.

Is that an ostrich with only its face covered?

‘Oh my, miss.’

What kind of strange thing will he do this time?

I’m very worried.

……but,

Contrary to my worries,

A deep, pleased smile was engraved on the old man’s lips.

“Hehehe.”

Perhaps the grandfather’s heart waiting for a surprise gift from his granddaughter.

Soon, the old man swung the broom in his hand lightly like a whip,

I pretended not to see the galaxy hidden behind the streetlight and went into the security office.
