Wow…

[The Red Woman] opened the front door and came inside.

Even though the door lock and handle are double locked… no, the front door that was supposed to open outward opens inward.

That’s no longer the front door of Eunha’s house.

Clap. Clap.

The sound of wet footsteps.

A bloody woman heads to the living room with blood dripping down her face.

The air is cold, as if winter has arrived.

Eunha locked the bathroom door tightly, held the bag of salt she had brought as a talisman in her hand, and held her breath.

『It’s dyed red~』

『Everyone is dyed red~』

[Red Woman] hums an eerie nursery rhyme and heads to Eunha’s bedroom.

The terrible smell of blood wafted all the way to the bathroom, and Eunha, whose mouth was already full of soy sauce, had to cover her mouth from the nausea that kept rising.

I feel like throwing up. Was it really okay to use soy sauce instead of salt?

But that woman’s voice is nice. Good at singing.

『We are lost forever~』

『Toward the hidden you~』

Before we knew it, the [Red Woman] had moved from the master bedroom to the kitchen and was walking around Eunha’s house as if she was taking a walk.

I can hear the sound of the refrigerator being opened and a chair being pulled out to check under the table.

His personality is also meticulous.

If I had hidden somewhere other than the bathroom, I would have been found out soon.

『Even if we hide, even if we hide, we are~』

『Forever and forever towards you~』

Are they checking everywhere except the bathroom as written in the book?

Sometimes he just wanders the hallway and doesn’t even look at the bathroom.

As expected, it was safe if you followed the instructions in the guide.

『Color it red~ Everyone~』

All I have to do is hold on like this for 10 minutes…

It was close, but we somehow made it through.

It’s not as big a deal as I thought.

Eunha, who was holding back her heart, felt much more at ease and threw the bag of salt into the bathroom trash can.

If ‘that’ turns around, let’s eat rice first.

My mouth has been marinated in soy sauce, so I don’t need salt for the time being.

That was when Eunha sat down on the toilet seat, giggling to herself.

『Color it red~ Bright red~』

『You hiding in the bathroom~』

Rattling.

With an eerie singing voice,

The bathroom door opened.

『I found it~♪』

A woman’s red face visible through a slightly open door.

A woman covered in blood looks down at Eunha and smiles.

Wow…

like that,

The door opens.

“Fuuuu!”

Eunha spat out the soy sauce in her mouth and quickly ran to block the bathroom door.

However, the red woman had already found Eunha and was pounding on the door, trying to open it.

Even if you press the lock on the door handle, the door does not lock. Just open it and come in.

Eunha desperately tried to prevent the door from opening by putting her weight on it.

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

The woman’s hand keeps coming in through the crack in the door. The delicate fingers were covered in blood, and the dripping blood fell on the bathroom tiles, creating a feeling of fear.

In an attempt to somehow push the red woman away, I pounded on the crack in the door with the intention of breaking the protruding fingers.

But for some reason it didn’t budge.

The air was so cold that it gave me goosebumps, and the breath that came out every time I exhaled.

It really feels like dealing with a ghost.

My heart is pounding like it might burst.

I guess it’s because of fear. Or maybe my blood pressure went up because I drank too much soy sauce.

Perhaps soy sauce will have a larger share.

​

“Cough! Kehehe….! Wait! Let’s solve it through conversation!!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha.”

“Just once! Please look at me just once! This is our first meeting! Even if it were me, you would look at me at least once! Don’t you?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Rattling rattling rattling…

Eunha spat out the soy sauce and cried out sadly.

If only there was salt. If only I hadn’t forgotten to buy it on the way home.

However, despite Eunha’s sad cries, the only thing that comes back is the [Red Woman]’s creepy laughter.

To begin with, Eunha was a weakling who was eliminated 30 times in the ‘Hunter Promotion Test’ due to lack of strength. A power struggle itself cannot be established.

On the contrary, as time passed, the pushing force of ‘that’ grew stronger.

Gigi geek…

The door opens.

Now, he squeezed through the crack in the door up to the red woman’s elbow and touched Eunha’s face with his bloody hand.

I feel a chill that is as cold and hard as a corpse, in my palm.

Just like that, the red woman’s feet, legs, and half of her body came through the crack in the door, and soon the woman’s face with an eerie smile came out and smiled at Eunha.

The jigsaw in the red woman’s hand scratches the doorknob.

So, the door opens,

Eunha pushed the door with all her might…

Kkeikikㅡ. Sweet.

Eventually, the door closed.

“Huh…! Huh…!”

I barely closed the door.

Eunha collapsed on the floor, her legs losing strength.

I feel like dying.

How long has it been since I used this much strength?

Maybe it’s the first time.

If we work hard like we do now in the next ‘Hunter Promotion Test’, wouldn’t we be able to get good results?

That’s what I thought. Am I going crazy during this?

… okay. Good is good.

Eunha smiled with an optimistic imagination and looked up.

『… … Haha~.』

The red woman looks down at the galaxy and smiles.

Are you laughing at me?

Well, what good is it if the red woman enters the bathroom and closes the door?

click.

The door was locked.

The [Red Woman] looked down at the poor human being frozen as stone in front of her.

Her cold hands cup Eunha’s cheeks.

The corners of the woman’s mouth rise up to her cheekbones.

『Gotcha~』

“……Let’s say it in our own words.”

Kaga-gak-!

In a final effort, Eunha swung the kitchen knife at [Red Woman].

However, as if defying the laws of physics, the blade stopped right in front of the woman’s skin.

Is this an invincibility cheat?

It’s too much, really.

『Cute~』

“……I’ll get salt from next door.”

『No~ I can’t go~』

The woman’s smile deepened.

Eunha’s face hardens.

Eunha looked up blankly at the blood-covered [Red Woman], like an herbivore on the verge of death.

I only saw her briefly over the intercom, but now I get to see her properly.

A woman with hair redder and darker than the sunset, with everything red.

To be honest, she is an Eunha-type beauty.

Only her eyes are as black as darkness, making it seem as if she is looking at the night sky ending twilight.

As if the evening sky seen beyond the bathroom window is getting darker by the minute.

The night sky called [Red Woman] also appears in the life of the galaxy.

『It’s dyed red, red~』

The red woman gently wrapped Eunha’s hand and took away the kitchen knife.

In his left hand he holds a kitchen knife, and in the other hand he holds a blood-stained jig saw.

The woman slowly, very slowly laid Eunha down on the floor, got on top of her, and then

Very slowly, he brought the jigsaw to Eunha’s right shoulder.

『I’ll make it red~』

The woman’s hand moves.

Back and forth.

Swish swish.

… … .

Eunha’s house. Saetbyeol Apartment Room 904.

A languid afternoon filled with the sound of meat being cut and someone screaming.

Until the mournful screams cease completely,

The bathroom door did not open.

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

ㅡ [No connection, after a beep, the call is sent to voicemail, and a call fee is charged…

Torolong…

Late evening as the sun began to set.

Eunbangul came out to the living room after taking a shower and looked at her smartphone, which had hung up on a call, with a puzzled expression on her face.

The white rabbit ears, drooping and wet with water, twitched helplessly.

“Hmm… what’s going on?”

The rabbit girl was in trouble, twisting her hair.

The happy phone call with Eunha was suddenly cut off. This is the first time this has happened.

Did Eunha press the wrong button? But when I call again, there is no answer.

Only the cold voice of the voice message sounded empty.

Even so, Eunha seemed to be in bad shape today, so I wonder if she may have collapsed.

Could it be that he suffered from the shock of failing the ‘Hunter Promotion Test’…

Or maybe, there was a burglary in the house?

Excited. Excited.

Bad thoughts sprouted like weeds without any sense of purpose.

I don’t know if my pounding heart is due to simple worry or because of my sweet feelings toward Eunha. Maybe both.

Before I knew it, over 50 missed calls had piled up in my call log, and my text message box was littered with all kinds of greetings and emoticons like trash.

But Eunha still remains silent.

Is the phone turned off? Is there no time to answer the phone?

As the number of missed calls and unanswered text messages increased, Eunbangul’s worries about Eunha gradually piled up in her heart.

Excited. Excited.

I feel short of breath.

Eunbangul scratched her neck with her fingernails.

I’m not the type of person who won’t answer the phone… I have to go to their house…

Bright red fingernail marks are engraved on the girl’s slender neck.

‘… … But still… it won’t be a big deal, right? ‘How many people are watching from the side?’

How much did you worry about it?

Eunbangul, who had been calling Eunha for a while, took a deep breath and got up from the sofa.

The girl scratched her neck and wiped her bright red fingernails with a bath towel, then trudged to her bedroom, her white rabbit ears perking up.

Eunha would be fine.

Even though he is an F-class weakling who can’t even run, he has the ‘recovery type’ skill, which is very rare among hunters.

Rare means valuable,

Bugs attract valuable things.

If something happens to Eunha, the flies that are attached to Eunha will take care of it.

Although Eunha herself doesn’t know anything.

After forcing herself to feel reassured, the rabbit girl looked around her bedroom and made an ecstatic expression.

A girl’s own space,

The space of a girl and a galaxy.

A space decorated with the galaxy in mind.

Feelings of pride and sorrow come flooding back.

okay. Nothing much will happen to the galaxy.

Tomorrow, Eunbangul will be greeted with the same smiling face as always.

I’m sure it will.

Trusting and waiting for the other person is also a way of liking.

“Haa~… There’s no space to put up pictures in the bedroom anymore.”

Excited. Excited.

My heart is racing.

Like a newborn rabbit, clattering.

It is a pounding feeling that is created by the emotions that are concentrated in the heart and the feelings toward Eunha.

Gently placing my bloody hand on my pounding chest,

The girl casually wiped away the blood dripping from her wounded neck and closed the bedroom door with a happy smile.

Dalkak-.

And for a while, the girl did not come out of the bedroom.
