The relationship between brothers and sisters must have been very different.

I think there are some relationships where they treat each other like chickens, some where they get along as well as best friends, and some where they are like enemies who are worse than others.

Before becoming a TS pretty girl, what was my relationship with the sea like?

It was the first one.

We didn’t hate each other terribly or like each other like friends, but we were friendly enough to just greet each other?

It had been too short a time since I had become a pretty girl to know what kind of relationship I had with the sea, but at least for me, hearing my little sister gossiping didn’t feel so good.

The time I spent looking after the sea as my older sister may have been short, but in any case, up until now and in the future, she has been and will always be my younger sister, and that fact will not change.

That’s why, without realizing it, I was offended by her words and my voice changed a little.

Of course, the woman in front of him didn’t seem to sense anything like that… .

“Yeah. It’s terrible. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s terrible in a bad way. What should I say? That kid is so immersed in it. Is that how you feel when you see a fanatic?”

“Huh? Are you a fanatic?”

Did he believe in a cult?

“Ahahaha. I really, really hate monsters. That part is really bad.”

“… … .”

“It’s like when a monster gets involved, it’s like a person changes? She’s usually a cute and kind girl, but when a monster gets involved, she becomes a crazy bitch who doesn’t care about water or fire.”

What the… .

I don’t know if he’s cute or kind, but… my little brother hated monsters that much?

This way, I can’t reveal that I’m a witch.

“Anyway, I’m saying there’s a kid like that.”

“Yes… .”

When I became gloomy and didn’t speak, and kept my gaze down, she became restless again and tried to cheer me up somehow.

He would bring me some delicious-looking snacks from the kitchen and also bring me a bunch of drinks and hand them to me.

… First of all, it seems true that he is a good person.

I felt bad, but I was still hungry, so I slowly ate the snacks she handed me.

Then, feeling choked up, he picked one of the drinks piled up in front of him on the desk and started drinking it.

“Ahahaha… . Sky really has unique tastes.”

“Yes?”

“No. I never thought I’d drink Sol’s Snow among all these drinks… .”

“… … .”

Oh my god.

I took Sol’s eyes and drank them without knowing it.

Eugene, what the hell have you done to me?

Did you brainwash me?

Such horrible brainwashing to drink Sol’s eyes forever?

“Do you think my sister will wash Sol’s eyes when we go home? I don’t really like that kind of thing.”

“Oh, no! I don’t like it either!”

“… I think I’ve already emptied a can of that.”

“… … .”

Anyway, since I was already in the rich village, I decided to finish finding Yeon Su-ho’s whereabouts.

There was just one problem.

I needed to supplement my compass for a more sophisticated exploration, but I couldn’t do that with such a high-level hunter right next to me with his eyes wide open.

“But what is your name…?”

“Ah! You still haven’t told me your name. It’s Hunter Han Gyul-woo.”

“Midwinter?”

“Yeah.”

“Winter Sister. Can I… go outside and look around?”

“Ah. Really?”

“Yes.”

At my request, Mr. Han Gyul-woo readily volunteered to be my guide to the wealthy village.

I was curious as to why she was being so kind to me, so I asked her, and Ms. Han Gyeo-ul gave me this answer.

“Actually, I like pretty girls.”

“Really?”

By any chance… is this person a lesbian?

Suddenly drifting from TS Amta to Yuri?

You like people with a weak body like mine?

I looked at her with cold eyes, and Ms. Han Gyul-woo belatedly denied her mistake, shaking her hands and feet.

“Oh, no! That’s not it! I just like it because it’s cute and pretty! Do you like pretty dolls? Something like that!”

“Ah… Yes.”

Something is strange.

When you think that this person might be a lesbian, don’t you instinctively take a step back?

Looking back, I still remember that I was originally a man, and it’s only recently that I’ve become a TS pretty girl, so why do I feel this way? If you ask me if I like men, honestly, I don’t know either.

I really liked that TS drama, but why is that?

People say that it is difficult to understand someone else’s feelings until you experience it yourself.

Now that I’m here, I think I know.

This feeling of not belonging to either a woman or a man.

This feeling of being on the outside, alienated from the world.

Why is it that I still can’t accept myself as myself and feel like I’m wearing someone else’s avatar?

“Heaven. Are you uncomfortable?”

“No. I have something to think about. It’s not because of you.”

“I see… .”

As for identity… let’s think about it later.

For now, let’s focus on finding Suho.

Having come to that conclusion, I followed Mr. Han Gyul-woo and looked around various places in the wealthy village.

As expected, because it was a wealthy neighborhood, the walls were high and I felt like people’s private lives were completely isolated from the outside world.

It felt like looking at a solid castle.

If Suho was imprisoned in a place like that, I wouldn’t be able to break through it with my power alone.

What should I do? I couldn’t see the answer, so I sighed without realizing it.

“Now that I think about it, I thought of something when I saw you drinking Sol’s eyes earlier.”

“Yes?”

“Some people eat rice in Sol’s eyes? That’s what I saw when I bought Sol’s eyes. I bought them because I wondered how delicious they were that people would eat rice in them, but I didn’t find them that delicious.”

“Huh… ?”

How on earth do you know that?

Are there more than one or two eccentric eaters like Eugene?

Is it normal in this world to eat rice with Sol’s eyes?

“No… . Well. I’m not saying I eat like that. I just saw it somewhere.”

“See, did you see it?”

“Yeah. On the internet. Is this the Hunter Gallery?”

“Huh?”

How do you know about Hunter Gallery?

No. This guy is a hunter, so he could know. … But do top-tier hunters who live in such luxury homes usually have such a community site?

“I know. Are you using the bulletin board?”

“Uh…what. Just….”

Even the words are blurry.

Have you actually used it?

“There are a lot of hunters who use it, right? I don’t think there’s anything particularly strange about it.”

“Right!?”

… Seeing him so excited after receiving a brief acknowledgement, I felt like my vague illusions about high-level hunters were being shattered.

I thought he was just playing around somewhere, but in reality, he’s just hanging around the community like me, writing crap.

Wait… Then maybe you’re not a named user I know?

I looked at her with a skeptical mind.

“Come to think of it, aren’t there any nicknames there? Do you have an older sister?”

“Ah~ There it is.”

“Can you tell me what it is?”

“Uh… . That’s… .”

Why can’t you speak?

Then, that means it’s not ㅇㅇ. It means that you use a fixed nickname… .

I urged her to give me the answer with an innocent face that knew nothing.

“Huh? What is it? I’m curious!”

“Wow… . It’s called Wakyapyaheuknongguk. It exists. It doesn’t have any special meaning. It’s just a nickname with random words.”

“Aha, I see.”

I thought as I watched her blush shyly and avoid eye contact.

You’re called Wakyapyaheuknongguk??

Whenever a woman’s post comes up, you scream like a horny dog, “Show me your breasts, show me your face…” You’re the guy who keeps yelling?

There’s no way this is a high-level hunter.

There is no way a person like this can be the shield that protects our Korea!!

… it was summer.

#11

There were convenience stores even in wealthy neighborhoods.

While she was out buying ice cream, I quickly increased the distance between us and modified the magic on my compass, changing it to increase the precision of my pursuit instead of narrowing the range of operation.

While she was buying ice cream, I somehow managed to adjust my compass and sucked on a pear-flavored chutney in the middle of winter while checking the direction the compass was pointing.

And I guided our walk in that direction, and the building we arrived at was in front of a relatively small single-family house located on the outskirts of a wealthy neighborhood.

There is a Yeonsuho inside.

But how can one enter that building naturally?

At least, it seems like Mr. Han Gyul-woo isn’t on good terms with the owner of this building… .

In times like this… .

There’s nothing I can do.

There is no choice but to take out the juvenile delinquent’s shield.

“Ehehehe! Wow, it’s pretty here!! I’m curious about this place!!”

With that one word, I leapt over the low fence and stormed into the mansion.

“Huh, huh!? Oh my! That won’t do! Where are you going!!”

When Mr. Han Gyul-woo, looking flustered, waved his arms to catch me a beat late, he had already thrown himself through the open window.

After glancing at her as she belatedly chased after me, stomping her feet and throwing herself into the courtyard of the mansion, I picked up the compass and walked towards where Yeon Soo-ho was.

Wait, Suho.

Sister, I will save you!
