“I want my weapon.”

Yesterday, Eunha fell asleep on her front door and fainted, but for some reason, she woke up in the morning on a soft bed.

After a good night’s sleep, she went to work at the cafe with a refreshed mind and a sore back, and muttered absently while wiping her mug.

okay.

need a weapon

“Why the weapon all of a sudden?”

Early moning.

Time to prepare the cafe.

Nari Kang, who was busy making grapefruit ade next to her, answered Eunha’s mumbling.

Sapphire-blue hair attracts Eunha’s attention.

She keeps twisting her bangs in circles, as if she’s still unfamiliar with her hair that was trimmed at the beauty salon.

The sight of Kang Na-ri being overly shy at every glance from others makes me feel happy, as if I were seeing a very shy younger sister.

“I’m also an E-class hunter. I should at least carry a weapon.”

“Oh, that’s right. You were Eunha’s hunter, right? I’m sorry, I tend to forget useless things easily.”

“aha.”

Kang Na-ri, who casually made a spicy remark, handed the ade to Eunha, asking her to drink it.

Kang Na-ri’s grapefruit ade, which I made for the first time after studying hard during yesterday’s holiday.

When she sips the suspiciously dark colored ade in her mouth… the sour taste of grapefruit tears Eunha’s tongue into pieces.

Eunha quietly put down the ade and said with a grin.

“Hmm… Mr. Nari Kang? We don’t call grapefruit concentrate with ice only an ade.”

“But the effect was good, right? It made me feel sleepy. I also mixed in caffeine using my [replacement ingredients] skill.”

“Ade is probably not a drink to wake you up.”

Eunha, who tasted a more sour taste than expected, calmly drank bottled water to soothe her shriveled tongue.

New fact.

Nari Kang can’t make ade.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that her skills are poor.

In fact, he is so good that he can easily make any kind of coffee once you tell him about it.

If there’s a minor problem, it’s that she has a keen spirit of experimentation… and that she loves concentrates too much.

“I’m sorry. The more concentrated a potion is, the better it works… I thought other concentrates would be similar, but that wasn’t the case.”

“Oh, that’s right. This woman was the one who made the potion.”

“Don’t worry! I’ll make it right for the customers!”

“Then why to me?”

Nari Kang, a concentrate lover, took the failed Ade product with a bright smile.

What’s so good about it is that my smile hasn’t left since before.

After being stuck in a semi-basement for a long time and only making potions, he seems happy to hear anything because he gets to work with other people.

… … Yes, good things are good things.

Eunha also used one-shot soy sauce in the past. Wouldn’t grapefruit concentrate be a charm?

I was buried in debt and almost disappeared without anyone noticing… A very stimulating and tangy flavored ade made by the daughter of a chaebol family.

When I thought about it that way, it wasn’t that bad.

“But Nari Kang, do you know where our bell is?”

Suddenly, Eunha couldn’t see Eunbangul in the cafe, so she looked around and said.

Come to think of it, Ban Harin is also not there. Did something urgent come up?

“Eunbangul’s boss?… Uh… under Eunha’s breasts.”

“Did you call me?”

At that moment, a girl’s jade bead-like voice came from below.

When Eunha, startled, looked down, white rabbit ears with silver bells pricked up as if she had been waiting! It rises.

I remembered. From earlier, I had been hugging Eunha’s waist.

I was so used to the girl being held in my arms that I didn’t pay any attention to it.

Eunha patted the girl in her arms and felt the girl’s warm body temperature.

“What happened yesterday… I heard about it from Harin. It was very difficult, right? I’m sorry for not being able to be by your side.”

“No, it was more comfortable because I wasn’t next to you.”

“Then that’s a good thing! Why didn’t I tell you to take another day off?”

“Because I like working at a cafe better than resting at home.”

“I like you too!”

Eunbangul, who must have heard about the attack by the Black Bungpa yesterday, hugged Eunha’s waist and comforted her.

The girl who clings to me like a piece of gum is not only reassuring, but cute.

“Well… what happened yesterday?”

“It’s no big deal, you know, those loan sharks from last time. They came and tried to kidnap me.”

Clink!

The moment Eunha casually answered what happened yesterday, Nari Kang, who was listening quietly, lost the ade she was holding in her hand.

The glass that fell on the floor shattered and scattered.

Eunha quickly retreated, wrapping her arms around Eunbang, and looked at Kang Na-ri.

He looked quite shocked, with his eyes wide open and his mouth covered with both hands.

“Oh… I’m sorry! I’ll clean it up quickly!”

Nari Kang, who was startled by the sound of glass breaking, lowered her head several times and tried to remove the broken glass with her bare hands.

Eunha tried to stop her, but Kang Nari cleaned up the floor much faster than her.

Ugh.

Nari Kang picked up a new glass with her right hand and swept the floor with her left hand while using ‘skill’.

Then, the glass pieces and ade that fell on the floor disappeared.

At the same time, the missing ade and glass pieces begin to fill the glass held in Nari Kang’s right hand.

When Nari Kang swept the floor with her left hand, the floor was cleared in an instant.

She swept up all the broken glass in less than a minute, and before she knew it, she was putting the full glass down in the kitchen sink and wiping away her cold sweat.

“Phew… I’m sorry, I startled you… Please deduct the broken glass from your paycheck.”

“Yes, but… it’s a pretty useful skill.”

“Yes! Please leave the cleaning to me from now on!”

Nari Kang responded energetically and smiled brightly, showing her clean, unscathed left hand.

[Ingredient Replacement] skill that swaps the ingredients of ‘things touched by both hands’.

You can use it like that too.

Did I roughly replace the ‘piece of glass touched by my left hand’ with the ‘air in the glass’?

Only Kang Na-ri knows the detailed mechanism, but it is an incredibly useful skill that is difficult to compare to Eunha’s [Self-Healing], which only heals one’s own wounds.

Come on…

At that time, Kang Na-ri, who had cleared the floor, came trotting over and hugged Eunha’s neck.

Since Eun-bang-ul was already in Eun-ha’s arms, she couldn’t move and was gently hugged by Kang Na-ri like a hugging pillow.

For a moment, I was taken aback by the sudden skinship.

Eunha noticed Kang Na-ri’s gloomy face and relaxed her body.

The lively smile just now had disappeared as if it were a lie, and the depressed semi-basement debt collector I had seen before was in front of me.

Kang Na-ri’s hard fingertips were indirectly revealing her feelings.

“…Nari Kang, it’s hot.”

“I’m just sorry for everything, including paying for your debt… What did they do to Eunha?”

“Nothing in particular? ‘Someone’ saved me in the middle, so nothing happened.”

Eunha laughed as if she was embarrassed by Kang Na-ri’s excessive worry.

Could it be that he thinks it’s his fault that Eunha was attacked by the Black Bung Sect?

It’s no use worrying. Isn’t Eunha the one who came forward to pay off the debt in the first place?

It’s not her who is bad, but the Black Bungpa bastards who approached Eunha in an attempt to harm Eunha even though she had paid off her debt.

“Okay, so can we talk a little further away? Is it okay for us to just hug each other like this since there are no guests?”

“I’ll stay like this just a little longer.”

“Bangul, how long will you be held in my arms?”

“Until the cafe closes.”

“aha.”

Somehow I feel like I have another sister.

Eunha carefully patted the backs of Eunbangul and Kang Nari in her arms and made her usual smiling face.

… … .

That was one of the reasons why Eunha wanted to find a weapon.

Like the Black Bungpa that attacked her this time, I don’t want something to happen again in the future.

In the worst case scenario, there may be a suicide attack using ‘those’ like yesterday…

If you call out ‘those’ without thinking, it is certain that a major accident will occur someday.

for example. Yesterday, when I was describing the ‘blood donation bus’ in front of the black people.

What if someone else was listening next to you?

It’s scary to even think about it.

So I thought.

I need a weapon.

Whether it is a self-defense weapon or a cold weapon used by hunters…

There was a need to obtain another weapon other than the [Black Book].

“Let’s go to the department store.”

And today, as usual, Eunha was taking orders from customers and wondering if she would have a suitable weapon.

Eunbangul, who was still hugging her waist tightly, coolly suggested a solution.

“Why the department store?”

“You said you wanted a weapon earlier. Then you should go buy it.”

“Yeah. So why the department store?”

“Because there are a lot of good weapons, right? Basically, you have to look at the items in person before choosing them. And hunter-specific weapons will only be sold at large department stores.”

Eunbangul looked up at Eunha with an expression asking why she was saying something so obvious.

It was so random that it took me a while to understand what the girl said.

A department store? Right today?

Eunha is more familiar with home shopping carts than supermarket shopping carts.

For a small citizen like her, the word department store was very difficult and awkward.

Feeling pressured, Eunha opened her mouth to reject the girl’s offer.

“I’m not trying to buy something big, but if I see something useful, I’m thinking of ordering it through home shopping. And I can’t go to department stores because they’re too expensive.”

“Tsk~, what is this?”

However, as if to suppress the dissatisfaction of the galaxy,

Like a child showing off a magic trick he had learned, Eunbangul opened the drawer under the counter and showed something.

What came out of the drawer was too difficult for Eunha to pick up…

It was a heavy gold bar.

Why is that coming from there?

“You know I’m rich, right? So don’t worry, are you going to the department store with me after the cafe today? Just the two of us!”

“Oh yeah.”

“You promised? Recently, Eunha has been hanging out with Harin instead of me, so I’ve been feeling really lonely!! This time, you’ll be hanging out with me!”

“Uh… okay.”

Just like that, I was suddenly weighed down by the weight of the gold bar,

Eunha promised to go on a sudden shopping trip to a department store with Bang Bang.

Yeah, well… let’s think that good things are good things.

Because I had to buy new clothes. I need to buy it all at once at the department store.

And according to the girl, useful ‘hunter-specific weapons’ are only sold at large department stores, so it must have been an inevitable choice.

If you think about it, Eunha’s salary also comes from Bang Bang’s wallet… and no matter where she buys anything, it’s Bang Bang’s money.

Wouldn’t it be the best option to do the shopping at a department store as the girl wanted?

‘These days, I haven’t been able to play with Bell much because of [The Black Book]… and go to the department store. Department stores aren’t just expensive either.’

Eunha, who thought positively, smiled a complex smile as she looked at Eunbangul, who was very excited about going out alone.

okay. It is a crowded department store.

Is there really anything going on?
