A breakfast table without any white flowers.

Naturally, Baekhwa’s gaze in front of that scene did not look very bright.

“Ah, Baekhwa, are you here? I still call you…”

Actually, I was surprised, but I spoke to him as if I had naturally planned to call him.

But Baekhwa shook his head.

Eyes that look slightly anxious.

Judging by the way his mouth continued to move, it looked like he had something to say.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a good story.

“What’s wrong? What’s going on?”

Is something bad happening?

There are only a few bad things that the biometric detector in my house would find… .

White bones…?

For a moment, a white bone flashed through my mind, but it looked too bland to say that.

No matter how little the change in facial expression is, there is a degree.

Baekhwa, who was hesitant to speak, also carefully answered my question.

“A drone appeared and ran… .”

Then, he looked around the table and added one word.

“Now that I think about it, I don’t think there was any reason to say it now… .”

“What? Drone?”

When I asked the question as if I was dumbfounded, Baekhwa nodded his head vigorously.

“It’s a drone… .”

Drones also appeared in some of the movies I watched when I was dreaming and preparing a shelter.

It was novel.

Just novel.

First of all, the fact that that small machine could fly freely in the sky caught my attention.

The problem is that the things done with drones don’t seem realistic at all.

The reality is that the payload of a huge commercial drone does not exceed 30kg.

Even the travel distance is around 2km.

The driving time is only about 30 minutes.

Is it really necessary to use a drone to scout such a short distance?

At the time, I had no intention of leaving the house, so I decided no.

“Do you want to join the military? Summer? Does the military have drones?”

“… I don’t know.”

It was only yesterday that I thought Winter was dead.

Naturally, Yeoreum’s view of the main culprit who hurt her younger brother was not kind.

Not only did he look at me, he seemed to hate even being in the same space.

He furrowed his brows and did not hide his discomfort.

But no matter how much you hate Baekhwa, it’s not information you should ignore.

“Summer.”

“I really don’t know. What does Sergeant Naburaeng know… .”

Yuna continued speaking quickly at the slightly annoyed answer.

“Still, if drones are used, won’t the military use them?”

“I guess so?”

He gestured to Baekhwa, who was standing awkwardly, and invited him to the table.

“Now that we’re here, let’s have breakfast together with Baekhwa.”

“This guy….!”

“Seoul, there is no need to fight.”

You can’t force someone to like you, but there’s no need to be that harsh.

If we just ignore each other as if we don’t exist, that’s okay.

When I stop talking, my lips stick out, showing my disappointment.

“…I understand.”

“Thank you.”

Yuna gets up from her seat and goes to get Baekhwa’s food.

I followed Yuna and headed to the kitchen.

“Why oppa?”

“They say a drone has taken off, right? It was sudden, and I thought it would be broadcast if something happened.”

I adjusted the frequency by operating the radio attached to the dish dryer.

[Jijijik—]

After several adjustments, the frequency was adjusted and a clear voice began to be heard.

[If we join forces, there is nothing we cannot accomplish together. If we are divided, there is little we can do. Because we cannot face powerful challenges with discord and division… … … … ]

“It has changed.”

“…Sure.”

The military’s radio broadcast, which provided information about operating a shelter, changed into a speech.

Previous broadcasts were informational, but now they are speeches.

The difference was a difference in intention.

Unity and hope.

Although it was absurd, it was overflowing with sweet words.

“You have a talent for writing.”

“Are you planning to expand your power in earnest?”

Starting with Dayoung’s words, the table was divided into two groups.

Me, Yeoreum, and Dayoung leading a discussion about the military’s intentions.

Nayoung, Yuna, and Sohyun listened rather than spoke.

Baekhwa is just quietly paying attention… .

Yuna is busy feeding Se-yeon.

Because feeding a baby is a war.

No matter how nice she is, Se-yeon is still a baby.

When I enjoy a mouthful and hope that it will be a comfortable day, I slap the rice ball away with my small hand.

“Kyaaa~!”

“Seyeon…!”

Hey, look at how excited he is to play with his mom.

In the midst of all the chaos, the speech came around and returned to the first part.

This is the information I heard last time.

The first topic of the speech that followed clearly mentioned white bones.

[I think most of you who are still living your lives are probably aware of the existence of variants. And now, a horde of that variant is heading here to Gangwon Province. … … . ]

The speech, full of numerous rhetorical phrases, was simple to summarize.

1. The mutant group that destroyed Seoul is advancing toward Gangwon-do.

2. We must come together to survive.

3. So unite with us.

Lastly, the most forced statement.

4. Let’s rebuild the country.

Thanks to the clear content of the speech from the beginning, the discussion ended without disagreement.

“That person is so greedy.”

“… You piece of trash.”

It seems he wasn’t satisfied with being the head of a group… .

It is questionable whether that will happen.

There was nothing special.

First of all, you are weak, right?

The talk about building a country was jarring, but at first it was a positive sign.

At least we know of the existence of white bones.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

It was only a superficial alliance, but in the current situation, it feels like it has become a little stronger.

Of course, we have to find out the true intentions and plans.

“First, let’s catch the human operating the drone.”

“… Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

“It’s okay~~ It’s weaker than the variant, so what can I do? It’s easy.”

“No, it might end up in an all-out war with the military.”

I thought it was okay to hear Dayoung worry about an all-out war.

All-out war?

Of course, if you fight, you want to avoid it,

Even if I were okay, people around me would die, and I didn’t want to see my lovers endure that pain.

But there is one saying that I have liked for a long time.

To put it in a sophisticated idiom, the dead person is silent.

“It’s okay. I will make sure that doesn’t happen.”

If you kill them all, it’s assassination.

*

After breakfast, let’s head to the modified vehicle.

There, my brother and sister, who had already prepared, were waiting for me.

“Hello.”

“uh~”

Winter greeted me with a slightly embarrassed expression, as if she was a little embarrassed by what happened yesterday.

Actually, I didn’t do anything, but my sister was really annoying… .

I guess I’m embarrassed.

After briefly sharing today’s schedule and goals with Winter, I called Baekhwa over.

“Baekhwa, let’s go.”

Like a puppy that runs when its name is called, Baekhwa also comes to my side.

I was told to wear combat attire, but what Baekhwa wore was college student fashion full of spring.

A tennis skirt that exposed pure white thighs might be nice on the eyes, but it didn’t look suitable for combat.

“What’s wrong with your clothes?”

“Well… I don’t think I really need to use my body… .”

“That’s true… .”

I thought something would change if it turned out right.

I harassed him for two hours, but Baekhwa’s reaction didn’t change.

So, I was thinking about giving up… .

“Still, I took care of something. Can you write it?”

“Yes!!!”

The confidence-filled answer fills me with anticipation.

“I’m looking forward to it?”

“Yes! Thank you~!”

After hearing Baekhwa’s answer and getting into the car, Yeoreum, who I thought would ride next to me, headed to the passenger seat.

“Huh? Don’t you ride next to me?”

“… I don’t want to leave that bitch next to Winter.”

“Ah~”

In fact, Winter seemed a little manly about her older sister’s overprotection.

He sheepishly scratches his head and lets out a small complaint.

The car moved smoothly along Baekhwa’s lead.

Stop for a moment, listen to the sound, adjust your direction, and then move again.

When the process was repeated four times,

We were able to spot a drone flying in the sky.

“Is that it?”

“Yes.”

The drone and we are facing the same direction.

For now, there was no need to worry about us being exposed to drone footage.

“Can’t you hear cars or people around you?”

“…Wait a minute.”

I close my eyes, concentrate on the sensations for a while, and then nod my head.

There is “. I’m listening to music…? I don’t think they noticed us.”

“Really?”

When I heard that it had not been found, I took out my bow.

“To destroy it?”

“uh.”

I don’t even want to reveal the location of my house yet,

Also, to suppress the momentum. It’s like an armed protest.

For comparison, a raw version of THAAD?

I’m not sure how much a drone costs, but for military use it would be quite expensive.

This is a place where a P96K radio costs over 1 million won.

Even now it won’t be able to be replenished.

As I pulled the bowstring tautly, the crossbow that Baekhwa brought came to mind.

“Ah, that’s right. Do you want to try Baekhwa?”

“Yes!”

Baekhwa grabbed the crossbow on his back as if he had been waiting.

“You seem confident.”

“… a little.”

Contrary to what he said, his expression was confident.

Baekhwa began to prepare to shoot step by step.

Step on the head of the crossbow to secure it and load it using the presser foot.

With all his might, he pulled just once and carefully placed the arrow on it.

Next is posture.

It seems that they thought that the crossbow would not be able to support the weight of the crossbow when shooting while standing.

Place your buttocks on the floor, spread them shoulder-width apart, and place your elbows on your thighs.

It’s sexy, but… .

It’s not the sexy sniping pose I know…

It’s a bit unfortunate, but since the target is in the air, you can’t shoot while lying down.

Whether I was scanning his body or not, Baekhwa’s entire mind was focused on the goal.

He presses his face to the crossbow as if looking at the target through a scope and mutters.

“Southeast wind, weak wind… .”

The moment the muttering stopped.

Tung-

The arrow left the crossbow with a clear sound.

It pierced the drone’s body as if to show off.

“… You’re good.”

Yeoreum inadvertently let out an exclamation at the neat clean hit.

The distance seemed to be about 400 meters, and I hit that small thing with one shot.

At this level, I would say that the accuracy is at least the same or better than mine.

“I wish I had a gun… but I did a good job.”

“Thank you…♡”

If he had a decent weapon, he would definitely have great power, but it seemed difficult to escape the weapon’s limitations.

The reason I started avoiding bows in the first place is similar.

What happens if you hit it right?

“The opponent noticed that the drone was broken!”

“Really? Then, shall we go out and meet you?”

“… Let’s go together.”

I ran towards the drone’s owner with full of excitement.

What if I don’t disclose information quietly?

That’s what happened when I caught it.

‘Kuh… kill me…!’

…. Oh wow.

Torture stick.
