This is a world where you have to be in debt to see the light.

However, if the person you recently became a friend with is an unanswerable debtor, you will have a lot to think about.

That’s what the galaxy is like now.

“Wow… thank you for letting me shower. It’s been a while since I’ve had a warm shower…”

The youngest daughter of the Blue Dragon family.

An unlucky woman who first took out a private loan to start a potion business, but was pushed out of the competition with the advent of [Galaxy Potion] and ended up going bankrupt.

After finishing her shower, Nari Kang came out to the living room, wiping her hair with a towel.

Blue hair that sparkles like sapphire in the light of the lamp. Skin without any blemishes.

I am inadvertently caught by his outstanding appearance, which makes it hard to believe that he lived as a beggar in a semi-basement for such a long time.

Could this be the power of genes?

“But the clothes are men’s? Are they your lover’s clothes? Awesome~.”

“That’s what I used to wear… and I just kept my original clothes. They were so worn out that I thought they would get ruined if I put them in the washing machine.”

“I was already going to say that! Thank you, Eunha!”

Na-ri Kang, who was looking around at the sweats she borrowed from Eun-ha, says thank you.

I think that I am truly a person who is full of energy even though I am burdened with debt.

Eunha, who had been reading [The Black Book] for some time, closed the book and looked out the darkened window.

On my way home from the park, I ran into Nari Kang, who was walking around picking up waste paper.

When I asked him why he was picking up waste paper when the sun went down, he said there were a lot of competitors in the morning.

It’s just a pity that he was pushed out of the race to collect waste paper from Euncheon-gu, let alone the competition for the successor to the Cheongryong family.

Reunion a month after our first meeting.

She looked much thinner and less energetic than when she was chased by a debt collector, so he brought her to his house, thinking that this was also fate.

It’s also a reward for being treated to seaweed soup the other day.

I wonder if it would be okay to invite other people to the house because of [The Black Book] and ‘Them’, but since Kang Nari is a person who doesn’t know anything, there won’t be a big problem.

“Anyway, what happened to the debt? Are you okay?”

“Hahaha~ Of course it’s okay. I can’t cover my debt with my current sales, so I put the rest of my money into the lottery and then it goes bankrupt, and I can’t even buy potion ingredients, so I’m fine except that I’m picking up waste paper!”

“aha.”

No, there was another big problem.

Eunha touched her forehead after hearing Kang Na-ri’s current status.

I guess it failed in the end.

There are only three days left until the debtors come back.

However, looking at the woman in front of me, it seems difficult to repay the debt on time.

Honestly, isn’t it a blessing to be self-employed?

The family blocked bank loans by telling him to live on his own, but when they said he couldn’t get a loan, he started taking out private loans.

I don’t know if I’m thoughtless or courageous.

Should we really step forward and help?

I don’t think it would be good for me to get involved with a loan shark.

‘Still, he seems like a person who will succeed greatly as long as he pays off his debt…’

Eunha thought as she watched Kang Na-ri sitting in the corner of the sofa, wriggling her fingers anxiously.

[Ingredient Replacement] skill that changes the composition of the object in your hand.

The youngest daughter of the [Cheongryong family], one of Korea’s top conglomerates.

It was a waste of people.

There are too many people who are capable of doing this to be taken in by loan sharks and robbed of their long-term money.

If I give Kang Na-ri grace and make her my person.

Wouldn’t it be a great help in my future hunter life?

That’s what I thought.

‘I want to make a potion with my blood.’

And, the biggest reason to help her.

I wanted to have Kang Na-ri, the potion maker, make a potion with her own blood.

This is a concern I’ve been thinking about for a while.

In the first place, isn’t a potion a drug that imitates the ‘recovery power’ contained in the blood of monsters?

If you make a potion with the blood of a galaxy that won’t die even if its heart is ripped out… you will definitely make something interesting.

‘I think it’ll be okay? I have quite a bit of money saved up in my bank account…’

Already, Bell said there are a lot of customers these days and wants to hire more employees.

(『A relationship is like a thread. By nature, a thread is something that breaks easily… Nevertheless, if you continue to build a precious relationship, it will eventually become a rope that will not break no matter what hardships you encounter.』)

Risks of helping a debtor. Things you can do with Kang Nari…

Above all, it is the first time in a long time that we have met each other other than ‘those’.

After weighing various factors, Eunha nodded.

This should be fine.

“Nari Kang. Are you good at making coffee?”

You can talk more about it with Bang.

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

“Huu… Huu… Ugh, Eunha. I can do well, right…?”

“Our bell is a good kid, so relax.”

next day.

Eunha was half-asleep and tired, and headed to the cafe with Kang Na-ri.

I finished talking with Eunbangul on the phone last night.

Since I can’t really tell from just hearing the words, I’ll take Nari Kang to a cafe and talk to her face to face.

“B-But this is a job interview…! This is my first time doing something like this… Ugh. I want to go to the bathroom…”

Kang Na-ri, dressed in a shabby sweater and torn jeans, looked around anxiously and followed behind Eunha like a duckling.

I wonder if he’s doing that because he looks like he’s homeless. It’s a shame because she has outstanding looks, otherwise some people would have frowned.

But even so, it is the cleanest clothes she has.

It’s a product from a famous brand that I was wearing when I first left home.

On the way to the cafe, Eunha offered to buy her a new set of clothes, but Kang Nari politely declined, saying she didn’t want to hide her life of foolish spending and suffering through private loans.

Is it the last stubbornness of the youngest daughter of a chaebol family, or is it to appeal to pity…

However, it seemed that the desperate will to solve the current crisis somehow could be appreciated.

Dangling~♪

“Welcome! Would you like to talk inside first? Harin, I’m preparing the cafe for a moment~!”

“Please speak slowly.”

When they entered the cafe, Eunbangul, who was chatting with Ban Harin, greeted them cheerfully.

The girl immediately took Eunha’s hand and pointed to the employee lounge behind the cafe’s kitchen.

I wondered if I could leave the cafe to Ban Harin, a regular customer and a self-proclaimed office worker, but since Ban Harin was showing off and giving Eunha a thumbs up, I decided to leave her alone.

Rather, why is that person here? The store hasn’t even opened yet.

Did Bell contact you to ask you to take over the cafe for a while?

The current situation, where the cafe owner leaves the store to a regular customer and heads to the employee lounge, could be called the epitome of irony.

“Hmm… I was just thinking about hiring more employees… but I didn’t know that Eunha would personally bring in people who wanted to work.”

​

Three people sitting together in the employee lounge.

Eunha was sitting on a chair in the lounge, and Eunbul was sitting on Eunha’s thigh and leaning back comfortably.

And Kang Nari, with messy blue hair, is busy watching the two people sitting on the chair across from them.

Eunha combed Eunbangul’s hair with her hands and examined the situation.

The girl’s pure white rabbit ears pop up in response to her touch.

“So, if you don’t repay the debt within a few days, you’ll be in big trouble, right? But your existing business isn’t going well, so you’re looking for another way?”

“N-Yes… that’s right…”

“I was thinking about using private loans. It seems like it’s just a matter of self-employment… I didn’t know there were chaebol ladies who don’t know anything about the world in real life.”

Eun Bang-ul gets his hair done by Eun-ha and roughly understands Kang Na-ri’s situation.

Kang Nari hesitantly avoided looking at the girl’s bitter words.

My voice is shaking a lot. You speak well when you chat with Eunha.

It seems like he’s very shy.

“Hmm… how much did you borrow?”

“Well… about this much…”

In response to Eunbangul’s question about how much money she had borrowed, Nari Kang took out an old-fashioned budget phone and showed the screen.

Eunha glanced at the amount recorded on her cell phone and inadvertently burst into laughter. Why did you borrow so much?

Under Eunha’s gaze full of absurdity, Kang Na-ri grumbled as if she was embroidering.

When he first started his business, he borrowed money from [Heukbungpa], a private loan organization, and it is said that he demonstrated his skills by using ‘Hunter’s organs’ as collateral.

Then, the people of the Black Bung faction who checked her [Ingredient Replacement] skill said that this was a hit and that it would definitely succeed, so they were trying to catch the wind.

Na-ri Kang, who was already proud of her skills, was taken aback by their words and ended up borrowing more money than she expected.

In fact, it wasn’t a wrong decision as it was said to be a success until the [Galaxy Potion] in question was announced.

It’s just that Galaxy Potion swept away the domestic potion infrastructure like a tidal wave.

“Um… how about doing it like this?”

After hearing the amount of the private loan and pondering for a moment, Eunbangul made a suggestion to Kang Na-ri.

“I’ll give you two years’ worth of salary in advance. You can use it to pay off your debt, and you can work for four years with only half your salary.”

“W-Is that possible…?”

“It’s a little complicated, but nothing can’t work. What if I write a contract? Wouldn’t it be fun if I ran away midway instead? I don’t really like playing tag.”

“I will!! Please let me do it! Thank you so much, boss!!”

The way to repay the debt was presented very simply.

Kang Na-ri repeatedly lowered her head toward Eunbangul, as if she had just met her savior.

Of course, I will watch Kang Na-ri work for a few days and see what is going on, but seeing her so excited and making a fuss will not cause any problems.

“You said you were in the potion business? Our cafe is open until 5pm. Is that okay?”

“No problem! I closed the store half a year ago due to lack of sales, and recently I have been supplying the potions I made to the association! You can make the potions at home after work!”

As soon as the big problem disappears, Nari Kang begins to talk with a bright face. The timidity from just now has completely disappeared and I no longer stutter.

Eunbangul also moved his white rabbit ears as if he liked her.

Well, in Kang Na-ri’s case, she seems surprised that she can write off so much debt with just two years of salary, along with the hope that she can repay the debt.

There is no doubt that he has been grinning while calculating the salary he will receive.

Even the repayment date is just 3 days later.

But Eunbangul is talking as if he can raise that much money right away…

“Are you okay, Bell? I was planning on using the money I saved up.”

“You can earn this much quickly. Put it away.”

“Hey, Eunha… What does CEO Eunbangul do? Is he a chaebol like me?”

“I do not know either.”

Honestly, I don’t know why Bang Bang has so much money.

Did stocks hit the jackpot?

“Then please take care of me.”

“Please take care of me too! President Eunbangul! Eunha!”

Anyway, like that,

The youngest daughter of the [Cheongryong family], one of Korea’s greatest conglomerates.

Kang Nari, a debt collector who can’t live off her debt, came to work as a cafe employee.
