June 4th.

These days, I can’t really feel the weather getting hotter day by day.

A small cafe in Euncheon-gu, run by a rabbit girl, was welcoming employees who came in several years after opening.

“How… is it…? Isn’t it strange?”

An employee hesitantly walked out of the employee lounge… Na-ri Kang, the youngest daughter of the Blue Dragon family, said, fidgeting with the apron she wore.

There are still about 30 minutes left until the cafe opens.

Eunha and Eunbangul, who were having tea time sitting across from each other at the table as usual, looked at Kang Nari in her uniform and were truly impressed.

“Wow… the person has changed.”

“Is that so? It’s a good thing I took you to the beauty salon~. Although not as pretty as Eunha, Nari is pretty, too!”

“Hehehe… thank you.”

Kang Nari smiled awkwardly while listening to the two people’s compliments.

Still, she fidgets while holding on to her apron, or keeps smoothing her neatly cut bangs.

Is the current situation very burdensome?

Well, this is a girl who went from being the daughter of a wealthy family to being a semi-basement debt collector without any intermediate steps.

I only made potions at home, but this might be my first time having a proper social life.

‘… … Your hair is pretty. ‘Is blue genetic?’

Eunha felt herself being drawn to Kang Na-ri’s sapphire-blue hair.

Her hair, which she thought was beautiful even when she was living like a beggar in a semi-basement, became a jewel that sparkled more than anyone else’s, like a gemstone that had passed through the hands of a craftsman.

I just tidied up the bangs that covered my eyes and thinned them out a bit, and the person changed.

Is this the power of a beauty salon? For Eunha, who has never been to a beauty salon in her life because of [self-healing], this is just amazing.

Shake off your worries and straighten your shoulders proudly.

A gentle smile engraved on the corner of his mouth.

Free from the heavy pressure of debt, she was truly sophisticated and beautiful enough to be worthy of the title of youngest daughter of the [Blue Dragon Family].

“Hahaha… I feel so empty because I don’t have bangs. I think I’ll wear a hat for a while.”

“……Nari, don’t wear a hat. It will ruin your hair.”

“Ugh…! N. Yes!! I’ll keep that in mind! Eunbangul boss! I’ll throw away all the hats in the house!”

However, Kang Na-ri immediately turns into a turtle and lowers her head at Eunbangul’s words.

As the debtor’s depression leaked out again, Eunha nodded, thinking that it would be so.

If you think about it, for Kang Nari, Eunbangul is not just a boss.

This is the boss who paid off a large amount of debt for me.

In a way, it is natural for Kang Na-ri to maintain such a polite attitude.

Even if a girl called me rudely and asked me to go hiking in the early morning, wouldn’t she come running to me with a smile?

“Right, unnie~. Wouldn’t it be better if Eunha didn’t wear a hat too?”

“Huh? Uh, yeah… right.”

Eunha looked at Jeongbul. A girl with bright white rabbit ears pricking up smiles brightly.

good night.

Eunha smiled languidly while enjoying a peaceful tea time.

A little tea time before opening the cafe.

At this time when we are always with Bang Bang, the cafe feels full with the addition of a new employee, Kang Na-ri.

Kang Nari is still having a hard time with Bang Bang, but they will get closer as time passes.

Because they are both good people.

Thinking that this awkwardness was just temporary, Eunha sipped the green grape ade that Baeul-i had made for her.

Dangling~♪

“Hello, Eunha. Eunbangul… Additionally, Nari Kang. I’m in first place again today.”

“Welcome, Mr. Banharin.”

“Hello to you, Harin.”

“Oh, welcome back, sir!”

After a while. As soon as it was opening time, Ban Harin, a cold-looking regular customer, opened the door and came in.

As usual, she put down her laptop and briefcase at her reserved seat and naturally joined the table where three people were sitting.

“…What are you doing? Newcomer, hurry up and make coffee. Are you going to stay still while the customer waits?”

“Yes, yes! Sir! What would you like to order?”

“Just what I always drink.”

“Uh… yes?”

Clap clap. Ban Harin clapping his hands as if calling a servant and arrogantly ordering coffee.

I laugh out loud at her diligence, which has been so damn sick since early in the morning.

“Mr. Banharin. I don’t like absurdity.”

“Eunha, please sit still. I need to see the newbie’s coffee skills.”

“That’s true too! Nari, let’s go make Americano! I’ll watch over you.”

“Yes! Boss!”

Always a peaceful morning.

But a little noisier in the morning.

Eunha smiled lazily as she watched Kang Na-ri hurriedly heading to the kitchen.

It was a warm morning.

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

There is such a saying.

The day I go is market day.

“H-Hello, Eunha… Haha. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”

Around this time, Eunha was teaching Nari Kang, who was shaking like a newborn chick, how to operate the cash register.

A woman who showed the essence of an ordinary citizen cautiously approached the counter and spoke to me.

Who is it?

Eunha, looking at the woman’s familiar face, soon realized that she was an employee of the blood donation center and greeted her warmly.

“I see. It’s been a while. Are you going to order?”

“Ah…! Then, how about a green tea latte?”

“Are you taking it out or eating it before leaving?”

“Well, I’ll take it.”

Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I’ve used a blood donation center. The last time I donated blood was… about a month ago?

Time flies so fast.

I took orders familiarly and entrusted Na-ri Kang with operating the cash register.

Still, I remain calm and do well, as if my experience selling potions was not in vain.

Even as Kang Na-ri was entering her order at the Yeongcha Yeongcha checkout counter, the staff at the blood donation house was busy asking about Eunha’s current status.

“I was worried something might have happened since you haven’t seen me lately… Are you no longer donating blood?”

“Maybe so.”

“……Is there any reason why you don’t do it?”

“yes?”

Eunha felt reluctant for some reason when asked by the staff at the blood donation center.

I understand that the staff at the blood donation center are asking about her current situation.

Before picking up [The Black Book], wasn’t Eunha donating blood once every three days? If such a person suddenly stopped walking, anyone would be worried.

But what was the question just now… Rather than saying he was worried about Eunha, it sounded like he was in trouble because she didn’t donate blood.

There must be many people other than Eunha who donate blood, right?

‘If you think about it, the text message from the association…’

She suddenly remembered a text message from the Hunter Association.

After the promotion test, a text message informing you of the results of the doping test.

However, the text not only provided the results of the blood test, but also the results of Eunha’s ‘constitution’.

The constitution of the galaxy.

According to the Hunter Association, Eunha with the [Self-Healing] skill has a higher blood volume than others.

So, if you don’t remove your blood regularly, you can develop high blood pressure?

I wondered if he was sincere.

Why is the association like this these days?

[Self-recovery] is not simply the ability to recover faster.

It is a skill that returns Eunha’s body to its ‘original state’.

There is no way for me to have more blood volume than others.

It’s not like the association doesn’t know about it… The staff at the blood donation house in front of us, too, were knowingly or unknowingly encouraging Eunha to donate blood.

‘Do I have more blood than others?… Then why don’t I get it from the blood donation bus?’

However, others say that humans seem to have something called a tree frog’s heart.

When others tell you to do something, you end up not wanting to do it. The same goes for Eunha now.

Is it necessary to have blood drawn only at blood donation centers?

no. [Neulpureum Emergency Center] of peace of mind and trust is waiting for Eunha.

At least you won’t have to visit a blood donation center.

After making that promise, Eunha put on a business smile and made the green tea latte the woman ordered.

If you look to the side, you can see Kang Nari taking notes diligently.

Just give me a few days and I’ll take care of it.

“The green tea latte you ordered has arrived.”

“Thank you… That and this… We are holding an event at the blood donation house this time, so please be sure to visit Eunha.”

“Yes. I’ll think about it when I get a chance.”

Just like that, the employee who handed over the blood donation house pamphlet with a strangely generous free gift left the cafe without looking back, as if he had accomplished his job.

As expected, the purpose was not to drink coffee, but to encourage blood donation.

But something is sketchy. It feels like just handing over a pamphlet and calling it a day because the boss tells you to.

“……Nari Kang. If you see someone like that, call me. Or call Ban Harin who is hanging out over there.”

“yes!”

“It’s too much, Eunha.”

Eunha, who was watching the woman leave, said to Kang Nari.

People who come to a cafe but not for coffee. People like that need to be especially careful.

Dangling~♪

As the staff at the blood donation center left the cafe, a woman wearing a stylish uniform came in, as if she was passing the baton.

With her hand on the straight sword on her waist, she confidently walks to the counter and smiles.

“Oh? Hello, Eunha~. See you again in a day. Do you work here?”

“hello.”

“I’ll go after drinking a cup of Americano.”

Jeong So-ra, a scout from the 4th guild [Changcheon Swordsman], ordered coffee with a friendly face.

What day is today?

My head hurts from the hot new employee’s new employee Kang Na-ri.

“Wow~ The atmosphere here is nice… Huh?”

Jeong So-ra looked around the quiet cafe with admiring eyes.

She looked at Nari Kang, who was learning next to Eunha, and suddenly her eyes widened and her shoulders shook like an electrocuted fish.

The face of someone who has seen a ghost.

Nari Kang, who was scared by Jeong So-ra’s reaction, secretly hid behind Eunha’s back.

The only attention he has received so far has been from private loan sharks, so it seems he is still uneasy about the attention from strangers.

“……Eunha, you’re an interesting person, aren’t you?”

“I hear that often.”

“I’m sorry, but I’ll change it to a take-out order. I was originally going to drink it at the cafe, but… I remembered my schedule.”

After finishing ordering, Jeong So-ra bowed her head towards Kang Na-ri, who peeked out from behind Eunha, and took a seat at the empty table.

Did he realize that Kang Nari is the youngest daughter of the [Blue Dragon family]?

It’s easy to know since they belong to the same 4 major guilds.

“Nari Kang, do you know that person?”

“Oh, no… I’m seeing you for the first time.”

“Hmm… Even if someone like that comes to visit, call me. Or call Mr. Banharin, who is playing over there.”

“yes!”

“It’s too much, Eunha.”

Before we knew it, Ban Harin silently came next to Eunha and muttered with an expressionless face.

“Eunha. Isn’t that woman a scouter of [Changcheon Swordsman]? Why do you pretend to know Eunha?”

“I received a business card yesterday.”

“……hmm.”

Ban Ha-rin glared at the back of Jeong So-ra’s head with sharper eyes than usual.

I could tell just from her reaction how bad the relationship between the Hunter Association and the four major guilds was.

Eunha ignored Ban Harin, who was stationed at the kitchen entrance like a bodyguard, and made Americano with Kang Nari.

normal day.

But it’s busier than usual.

As the number of customers increases these days, are strange people starting to come?

Eunha sighed as she imagined the cafe becoming noisy in the future.

… … .

… … .

Meanwhile, at that time.

An office that runs a private loan business.

“……That’s strange. How did you get that much money?”

A man with a black crucian carp tattoo exposed through his collar was silently looking down at his smartphone.
