‘good. ‘It comes out like this, right?’

Eunha read the new guide and thought as she put the [Black Book] into her carrier.

I was annoyed.

It’s not because of ‘those’ who are trying to harm Eunha through half-expedient methods, but because my time with Bang-Bul was interrupted by others.

Because of those things that come to me whenever I’m bored, the time I spend with Eunbangul has decreased significantly recently.

Especially during the 10 days I was preparing for the promotion exam, all I saw was face-to-face encounters at cafes.

It was so difficult at that time that I couldn’t even see my surroundings.

Originally, we would have gone to each other’s houses, played games, slept under the same blanket, and hung out as much as we wanted… But now, we can’t even invite each other to our houses, let alone even stay out for a night out.

Haven’t you been neglecting Bang Bang for at least a month?

So this morning, when I heard Eunbangul’s suggestion to go to the department store, I was both embarrassed and happy.

The girl approached me first several times to spend time with Eunha. It’s impossible not to like it.

‘okay. It’s been a while since I played with the bells. Do you think I’ll let you get in the way?’

Strangers in a department store trying to come between two people without permission?

Leave the department store because it’s dangerous?

no. I’m going to go shopping at the department store with Bang.

Can they really stop those who can’t even write a guide properly?

Today, no matter what happens, I will flirt with the girl.

“…That’s it, Bell. Let’s go now.”

“Yes~ Ah. The elevator is coming down over there! Wait over there!”

Eunha got up from her knees and followed Baeul-i to the left elevator.

A new elevator was coming down to the first floor.

As if the arrival this time was ‘real’, other people who had been waiting nearby also began to slowly approach this way.

… … Eunha looked back at the elevator she had just tried to board and made a subtle expression.

I can’t tell what’s real.

According to the guide, ‘those things’ are only visible to her eyes… so she had no choice but to avoid them by paying attention to what others think.

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

2. 2 out of 7 are broken!

– Remember!

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

1 VIP elevator, 1 freight elevator,

And three regular elevators.

After looking around the ‘7’ elevators one more time, Eunha boarded the elevator, thinking that she should not let her guard down.

Inside the elevator, there is a refreshing smell of air freshener and classical music flows softly.

It seems as if our department store boasts that its elevators are also of high quality.

‘Oh… it’s very complicated. ‘The whole side of the wall is a guide map.’

​

As people enter the elevator, Eunha naturally clings to Eunbang.

She was amazed as she looked at the guide posted on the wall.

As expected from being the largest department store in Korea, the first basement floor is a grocery store and the second to fourth floors are all underground parking lots.

There were so many expensive foreign cars in the parking lot outside, but how many customers came?

Not only that, but they also started a grocery store, clothing, furniture, hunter gear… and even a massage shop. If you have enough money, you can live in a department store because so many facilities are packed into the huge department store.

​

1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor…

I soon found the ‘Hunter Armour Store’ displayed on the 5th floor.

An entire floor of the department store is a weapons department. I once again realized how much money hunters make.

“Where should we start from?”

“Shall we go check out your weapon first?”

“Huh? That’s surprising? I thought I’d go look at the clothes first.”

“Basically, shopping is about buying items that you can quickly select.”

“aha.”

The two headed to the 5th floor where the hunter weapons were located.

… … .

Teeingㅡ.

“Aaaahhh…”

And then, after a while.

After swinging the heavy mace several times, Eunha held onto her sprained wrist and cried.

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

Department store 5th floor.

Hunter Arms Store.

As expected from a department store that the [Blue Dragon family] is proud of, there are all kinds of weapons on display.

From common blades to long-range weapons such as crossbows and longbows, and even swords that bend like whips or greatswords that are too heavy for a person to lift… there were also some items that were questionable as to whether they could be handled.

And because the items being sold are commercial items, the guards guarding this place are all equipped with weapons on their belts and are watching the hunters coming and going with sharp eyes.

Their murderous gaze makes my shoulders suddenly shrink.

Various weapons, tight security…

okay. The department store was good.

One problem is that the galaxy’s body is pitifully fragile.

“Wow, it’s thrilling.”

Eunha stuck out her tongue as she picked up the mace that had slipped from her hand.

There was a practice range where you could try out your favorite weapon, and I happened to see a suitable mace so I swung it…

Due to my lack of grip strength, I missed the mace and only ended up spraining my wrist.

Is this right?

Not only that.

The bow string could not be pulled, and the shield was as heavy as a piece of iron and could not be lifted.

I don’t even dare to pick up the blade type because it reminds me of the trauma of cutting out internal organs with a kitchen knife.

It’s truly a total mess.

I didn’t retake the promotion test 30 times for nothing.

You need a weapon for the D-class promotion test, but it’s not as easy as you think.

“Are you okay, Sister? I told you to choose something light.”

Eunbangul, who was watching from the side, came over to her and was worried about her.

Why does it look like a daughter playing with a dangerous object and a mother worrying about it?

It makes me laugh.

“It’s okay. It’s just right. I like it.”

“Then do you want to live with that?”

“no.”

Eunha turned her sprained wrist around as if nothing was wrong.

Every time I moved my wrist, a tingling pain went up my arm, but I held it back to reassure the girl.

Because thanks to ‘those’, I’ve become accustomed to pain.

There is no problem at this level.

“Hmm… what weapon is light and useful? I’ll look for it too.”

“Thank you, Bell. Take care of your hands.”

“Worry about yourself! I should buy one of my own too~.”

Eunbangul twitched her white rabbit ears and left to look at other weapons, and Eunha also left the practice range to return the mace.

… … Then, the moment the girl was out of sight, he put down the mace and grabbed her throbbing wrist.

Uneasy.

“Do you need help?”

“Oh, it’s okay. I’ll take care of it myself.”

An employee came up from behind and asked if I was okay.

After answering appropriately, Eunha picked up the mace and headed towards the display stand.

On the display stand where the mace was placed, blunt weapons of various lengths and sizes were showing off their beauty.

Next to it, a mannequin wearing iron armor and holding a round mace high in the sky stands solemnly.

Eunha returned the mace to its original position and quietly looked up at the mannequin.

A hunter who fights against monsters in the [Crack Field]… and protects others.

Will there come a day when the galaxy wears heavy armor like that and fights against monsters?

It may be just a dream within a dream as she hasn’t awakened ‘Mana’ yet… but she encouraged herself with the fundamental confidence that something would work out.

This body has already died and come back to life several times.

What can’t they do?

“Huh? The armor is crooked.”

Suddenly, Eunha, who was looking up at the mannequin, noticed something.

Iron armor worn by a mannequin.

The right shoulder blade is sticking out as if it will fall off at any moment.

The feeling of finding a piece of wood sticking out of a row of dominoes.

I’m worried.

“…….”

Eunha glanced up at the mannequin’s face. After confirming that there were no eyes on its shiny face… I gently lifted its loose pauldrons.

… … Terrible.

And then, my eyes met the ones hidden under my shoulder blades.

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

3. There are no mannequins with pupils in our department store!

– If you encounter a mannequin with eyes, leave quietly!

​

– I don’t know where the eyes are!

– They say I’m shy!

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

“Not like this. Why are there eyes on your shoulders?”

『Don’t look.』

Wow!

The mannequin hit Eunha on the back of her neck with the round mace she was holding.

Her cervical spine cries out with an eerie sound after being hit squarely with a bloody mass weapon.

It becomes dark before my eyes.

… … .

… … .

『Welcome, child.』

“What is that department store? This is not it.”

『Please pay attention. But this time you were rash.』

… … .

“Sister~! What do you think of this weapon?… What is it? Why are you lying on the floor?”

“…It’s no big deal. I slipped.”

Eunbangul, who came with a light hand bow, looked down at Eunha, who was lying on the floor, and asked.

Eunha, who quickly came to her senses, trembled at the girl’s voice, jumped up from her seat and shrugged as if nothing had happened.

good. I held on.

I think I came to say hello to [the black person] for a moment, but whatever.

‘Fortunately, I don’t think anyone saw me… How did I look to other people?’

Eunha put on her hoodie’s hat and tightened the straps on the hat to hide the bruise on the nape of her neck.

Jeongbul looked at me with eyes full of suspicion, but what could I do? I have to hide it like this.

“…It’s really okay, right? I don’t know what’s going on, but don’t overdo it.”

“It’s okay. Don’t worry.”

“……Well, okay. I trust my sister… Anyway! Look at this! It’s a hand bow! Swish!”

A rabbit girl holding a hand bow in both hands smiles brightly while pretending to shoot an arrow.

The invisible arrow fired by the girl seemed to hit Eunha’s heart. As expected, Bangul’s smile is the prettiest.

okay. No matter what happens, I will hang out with Baeul-i today.

After making that decision, Eunha looked at the weapons with the girl with her usual smiling face.

Except that once the neck is shattered, it won’t turn to the side…

It was quite a fun time.

… … .

Nothing much happened after that.

To conclude, we could not find a weapon that was perfect for Eunha.

Should I say that I didn’t like anything… It would be closer to saying that I couldn’t find a weapon that made me feel like ‘I could pass the promotion exam with this.’

Of course, if you keep looking, you might be able to find it, but since it was closing time, I decided to come again next time.

“It’s only been 30 minutes yet?”

“It’s been 30 minutes! So, let’s go get clothes quickly!”

“There are two hours left until closing time?”

“There are only two hours left! Do you know how long it takes to choose one outfit?”

They say so.

In the first place, it seems that Bang Bang’s real purpose for visiting the department store was not to choose Eunha’s weapon, but to buy her clothes.

I heard you were feeling frustrated lately because you always wore the same hoodie and pants.

But it was an inevitable choice. Any clothes other than the hoodie made my chest feel too tight.

okay. Let’s think positively.

A store with lots of pretty clothes would be more suitable for a girl than a weapon store that looks scary at first glance.

A bunny girl surrounded by pretty clothes… Suddenly, Eunha also wanted to go shopping for clothes.

Eunha was dragged by Baeul-gi and returned to the elevator again to go to the women’s clothing store on the second floor.

There were still 7 elevators.

Tiing ㅡ.

Just then, the leftmost elevator arrived and the door opened.

Other customers who were waiting nearby flock to get on the elevator.

… This must be real.

Eunha massaged her still stiff neck and approached the elevator with the other guests.

“Sister, it’s happening again. Why do you keep going to the wall? Are you really okay? If you’re tired, do you want to go home?”

But this time, when Eunbangul stopped with her arms crossed, Eunha immediately stepped back and closed her eyes.

“what a waste.”

Someone in the elevator said.

Who is it?

Excited. Excited. Excited.

My heart is pounding. Is it because of fear, or because there is a bell next to me?

… … If you have to choose between the two, the latter is better.

“……I love you, Bell.”

“me too!”

Eunha, who turned her back on the elevator in front of her, roared! I thought as I hugged the bunny girl in my arms.

I guess I’ll come back to a department store like this again.

So, the two took the ‘real’ elevator that arrived soon after and headed to the women’s clothing store on the second floor.

… In the end, he was hit by a mannequin with a mace, and no weapon was found.

It’s sad.
