“This is the grapefruit ade and cheesecake you ordered.”

“Thank you, Mr. Banharin.”

Lunch hour. Eunha, who was browsing the internet on her smartphone while sitting at a cafe table, expressed gratitude to the waiter who brought her the drink she ordered and a piece of cake.

The waiter bowed his head and quietly placed the things he had brought on the table.

A subtle scent that makes you feel good just by smelling it.

Eunha nodded with a very satisfied face and put grapefruit ade in her mouth.

This house is good.

I have to come again tomorrow.

“Does it suit your taste?”

“It’s delicious. The cafe atmosphere is nice, and the clerks are pretty… I feel like I want to work here.”

He took a bite of the cheesecake and gave a sincere compliment.

However, the cold-looking employee did not react at all, and instead looked at Eunha as if she were seeing a strange person.

“……Would it be fun to do that where you work?”

“Not bad.”

“What are you going to do if you come back with a head injury after all the vacation you’ve had? I’d rather just stay at home and play games.”

“I’m scared of home.”

“What is that…”

The employee who brought the ade… So, during Eunha’s three-day vacation, a regular customer who ended up working at the cafe instead of Eunha started complaining bitterly.

Eunha drank grapefruit ade, accustomed to her nagging.

This is the cafe where Eunha works with Eunbangul.

The difference from usual is that today’s galaxy came as a guest.

I finally got paid vacation, but I have nowhere else to go.

Who knows what it feels like to have our home, which should be the safest, turn into the most dangerous place in the world overnight because of ‘things’ that might come out at any moment?

Maybe this cafe is the only sanctuary in the galaxy.

Anyway, my stomach started to tingle as I was treated as a guest at the place where I had always worked.

Feeling like I shouldn’t be sitting. The tension of ‘Shouldn’t we do something?’ makes Eunha’s buttocks shake.

I feel like I want to put on an apron right now and run to the warehouse to check inventory.

Do you think Bangul organized all the items that came in this time?

‘ha. ‘I don’t want to go home…’

Eunha tapped her smartphone, complaining that she couldn’t tell anyone.

Since it was a small cafe that claimed to be a hidden restaurant, there was only one customer, Eunha, and on the TV hanging on the ceiling, a news channel called [Hunter 24 Hours] calmly reported today’s events and accidents.

There was a time when the sweet grapefruit scent of ice-flavored ade wafted like a leaf.

It’s a leisurely lunch time because it’s so leisurely that it makes you yawn.

“Yesterday, the person who looked like he would faint if I touched him looks quite fine today.”

A regular customer and short-term part-time employee spoke to me with a face as cold as ice.

“It’s thanks to Mr. Banharin working for me. Thanks to him, I slept well.”

“How can someone who has recovery skills get sick so often? Could it be due to lack of sleep this time? Have you already forgotten that you collapsed on the trail four months ago? Nothing has changed, Eunha?”

“People who don’t change are also quite attractive, right?”

“Anyway, just keep your mouth shut… As you know, fatigue is the root of all diseases. No matter what you do, you must make sure you get enough sleep.”

Since everything she said was straight forward, she couldn’t make any excuses and just sipped the ade.

Ade suddenly became bitter. Should I add salt?

I took out a bag of salt from my hoodie pocket.

Eunha sprinkled salt on the ade and quietly looked at the woman who was nagging her without an accent.

A regular customer who always comes to drink coffee in a black suit.

The model-like outstretched limbs were beautiful to the point of admiration, and the expressionless face that never showed emotion was like looking at a pure white mask.

​

Unusually, no sound was heard from her with restrained movements, and not even the slightest noise was made when Eunha placed the ade and cake she ordered on the table.

Contrary to her beautiful appearance, she has a faint presence… a beauty who seems to disappear like a ghost if you take your eyes off her.

At the same time, the cute chick hairpin that secures her bangs evokes a strange gap moe in this woman.

‘We’re the same age, but we always speak politely, so I end up mixing informal and formal speech without realizing it.’

​

Her name is ‘Banharin’.

A regular customer who has been visiting the cafe for the past 3 years, and an office worker at a hunter-related company.

Nevertheless, I will become a ‘self-proclaimed office worker’ who comes to the cafe every morning and mumbles helplessly.

“……Have you changed quite a bit in the past few days?”

Ban Harin, who was quietly observing Eunha’s face, spoke up.

Her eyes were focused on Eunha’s chest as she pushed up her hoodie.

“Yesterday, I was very embarrassed because I was wearing a mask and a hat…”

“A lot has happened.”

“Hmm… can I touch it?”

“Hehehehehe~…”

Ban Harin’s hand suddenly came in and grabbed Eunha’s chest.

The stuttering feeling tickled me and I inadvertently burst into laughter.

Puhak!

As a result, the salt bag was overturned.

A generous amount of salty flavored salt is poured into the grapefruit ade.

What is this?

“Hehehe~ No, don’t touch it right away! You’re surprised.”

“Are you not wearing any underwear?”

“It wasn’t that uncomfortable, so I didn’t buy it.”

“Anyway, it’s clear that you have a woman’s body… Actually, I thought Eunha was a woman. Is there a man in the world with such thin lines and a delicate body?”

“It definitely was there. It’s not there now.”

Ban Harin talks nonsense with a cold face that shows no emotion at all.

No matter how many times I see it, I can’t get used to it.

Eunha sipped the salt-covered ade into her mouth.

Surprisingly not bad. Will it sell if I make it a new menu item?

“I heard that clownfish change their sex from male to female. Did you end up choosing survival over dignity because of the worsening environment?”

“People are not fish.”

Ban Harin silently came next to me and kept making a fuss, annoying people.

I don’t know if it’s a joke or not because she’s always expressionless, but I can see that she’s having fun teasing Eunha.

Is this what happens when you become too close to a regular customer?

As I accepted her bullshit one by one, I felt like I was getting more and more out of control.

“Harin, stop harassing my Eunha!”

At that time, Eunbangul, who was organizing dishes in the kitchen, found Eunha in trouble and came running to her.

When the rabbit girl cried and jumped up, Ban Harin immediately stepped back, and the girl climbed onto Eunha’s lap and buried her face in Eunha’s warm chest.

Eunha, who was happy to see the cute little girl, also patted the back of the girl in her arms.

“Hehehe… Wow, amazing… It’s so cozy… It’s soft and the best…”

Pure white rabbit ears sticking out as if in a good mood.

With the recoil, the girl’s ocher-colored bread hat flew into the sky.

Ban Harin caught the flying hat and quietly placed it on the table.

“Eunha! Did you come because you missed me? I also missed you so much after being away for 22 hours and 43 minutes!”

“I missed you too.”

“Eunbangul. Didn’t you miss me?”

“Harin, get out!”

A cafe that becomes lively in an instant.

Eunha felt her body and mind healed as she patted the sticky bells.

Kongdak. Kongdak.

The heartbeat of a rabbit girl clinging to each other. The child-like warm body temperature melts Eunha’s heart.

Eunha smiled languidly and looked pretty at Bell.

Baeulgi, who buried his face in her arms, looked very happy.

Is it because the area it touches increases?

“Hehe~ You really became my sister? Can I call you sister?”

“Sister?… I’m still embarrassed…”

“If you don’t call such a pretty sister ‘unni’, then what else can you call me~?”

“Why not just call me by my name?”

Eunbangul, held in her arms, looks up at Eunha and smiles brightly.

Eyes that do not reflect light… are as black as tar.

The rabbit girl’s round eyes reminded me of a night sky full of clouds.

It looks creepy and ominous, but it must be full of the girl’s dazzling galaxy.

Eunha liked the girl’s jet-black eyes.

Hiding the brilliant Milky Way,

These are pretty eyes that suit the shy Eunbangul.

“But what do you plan to do from now on?”

When Eunha and Eunbangul were hugging each other and cuddling.

Ban Harin, who was measuring the timing to intervene from the side, spoke up.

“What?”

“Identification cards. If your gender has changed, you will need to reissue them, but the administrative procedures will be very complicated.”

“Oh, really? I didn’t think of my ID…”

“Even in hunter society, where all kinds of skills abound, gender reassignment is a rare event. There is a high possibility that it will attract unnecessary attention.”

“Right… right? I guess?”

My eyebrows furrow at this extremely realistic advice.

okay. Changing gender is never an easy matter.

Would a small citizen like Eunha be able to go to the local office and ask to change the gender on her ID card since she has become a woman?

What supporting documents should I bring?

The reason for the change is also the same. After dying and coming back to life, she became a woman?

I don’t think I will believe it, and even if I do, there is a high possibility that it will go straight to the lab.

“How about this instead? Insisting that she was a woman from the beginning. Eunha’s appearance was quite ambiguous before, so there is a chance that insisting that it was an administrative error would work.”

“Huh? Would that work?”

“It will work, Eunha. Just trust us.”

I don’t know what to believe, but I have the will.

In the end, isn’t good something good?

As it happens, the appearance is almost the same, only the gender has changed.

Just insist on it once, or else find another way.

‘Um… are you okay?’

The worry was short-lived.

Eunha nodded willingly and accepted Ban Harin’s offer.

“I’m happy that Eunha is my older sister! She’s much softer than before, so I’m happy! It makes me want to keep hugging her like this~”

“I will resolve any errors in the documents. A new ID card will be issued soon, so if you receive a call, please visit the nearby administrative welfare agency or hunter association.”

“Thank you, Mr. Banharin.”

Gratefully accepting the kindness of the two people, she hugged Eunbangul tightly.

Is it because one problem has been solved?

Is it because there is someone who can solve problems together?

My heart was light.
