Several days have passed.

About three or four days.

Although I was hit by a mace, fell from the roof of a 15-story building, and had my whole body torn to shreds by a jigsaw, I went to a strange place in the underworld.

Anyway, I survived and returned to my peaceful daily life.

Wouldn’t it be okay if I lived?

If you watch TV, you can see things like end-of-life experiences that you pay for.

Let’s say we did something similar.

“Ha… I wanted to kill him with my own hands…”

Eunha, who was working at the cafe as usual, sighed.

I feel my head becoming heavy from the lament that continues for several days.

[Department store employee] made her fall from the roof of the department store and disappeared as a star in the sky.

I don’t know if he’s dead or alive. I hope you are doing well.

[The person in black] said, it looks like he broke some ‘rule’.

However, I don’t know exactly what the rule is. It was more forced than usual, but honestly, it was like getting cut by a jigsaw or falling off the roof.

Are there rules that even monsters have to follow?

We’re having a hard time with each other…

I felt a sense of kinship.

“What do you mean, you want to kill me?”

“This time, I went to a relative’s house to visit, and I came back without being able to hit the kid I wanted to hit. My relative scolded me first, so I ask you to let it go.”

Kang Na-ri, who was next to Eunha’s sighing muttering, asked a question.

She was reviewing the coffee recipes she had written down in her notebook. Her blue hair, which goes down to her waist, is tied in a ponytail to keep it out of the way, and various colored ballpoint pens are neatly placed in her apron pocket.

The faint scent of coffee wafts from Kang Na-ri’s fingertips as she turns the pages of her notebook.

“Relatives… What kind of people are Eunha’s relatives?”

“Usually they are friendly people who give you food, but when I found out, they were very scary and cruel.”

“Ah, I know that feeling! My relatives feel the same way too!”

At the story of Eunha’s relative(?), Kang Nari, the youngest daughter of the [Blue Dragon family], smiled happily and started chatting.

It was as if I was watching someone who was waiting for an opportunity to be around someone he was interested in, and then luckily found a common topic and felt good about it.

What kind of people are the relatives of a rich girl?

“When I was young, I felt awkward because my relatives treated me strangely well. I felt like I was sitting on a thorn cushion… It was very burdensome and difficult!”

“Oh, that’s right. That’s it.”

“Hehehe~ But since I used up a private loan and became a debtor, it’s like I lied and stopped contacting you after that, right? That’s why I really love the holidays now! I don’t have to see my relatives anymore~!”

“……aha.”

Kang Na-ri, holding Eunha’s hands tightly, smiles and spits out spicy words.

Was there a lot that had accumulated in the [Blue Dragon Family] all this time? I feel sorry for Kang Na-ri, who must have lived lonely life in a damp, semi-basement house.

Then why use private loans…

I hope you live a healthy life from now on.

“So I’m so happy now! I was almost abandoned by my family, and all of my debts have been paid off! It’s all thanks to Eunha!… Can I give you a hug?”

“sure.”

Eunha willingly nods her head to Kang Na-ri’s shy question.

As she spread her arms defenselessly, Nari Kang twitched the corners of her mouth and cautiously approached.

widely!

“Oh, it’s so noisy that I can’t concentrate.”

But then,

Just then, there was a disturbance.

“What do cafe staff do when they’re not working? Did they pay a lease for the store?”

“yes.”

“Then I have nothing to say. It’s okay since we don’t have any guests.”

Was it noisy? A regular customer who was sitting at the table tapping away at his laptop! He closed it and stood up.

This is Ban Harin, who tidied up her bangs with a yellow chick hairpin.

She came into the kitchen without making a single sound, and approached Seon Eun-ha with open arms, immediately massaging her soft limbs.

Kang Na-ri, who was cut in line, clenches and opens both hands and looks at the back of Ban Ha-rin’s head.

“…I’m feeling fine today. However, I’m showing symptoms of chronic fatigue, so please be careful. Did you get enough sleep yesterday?”

“How do you know if it’s chronic fatigue?”

“I just see it.”

Not paying attention to the stinging stares on the back of my head,

Ban Harin, who checked Eunha’s physical condition again today, reported the ‘observation results’ in a cold voice.

A hand that is as steady as a machine gently caresses the small waist.

At some point… Ban Harin would approach Eunha whenever he had time and check on her physical condition.

Some even lament that it should have been like this from the beginning, but it would be very difficult for Eunha.

Thanks to [self-recovery], my physical condition is always normal, so why am I like that?

“Mr. Banharin. Can’t you do that?”

“Think of it as getting a thorough examination at the hospital. These days, hospital fees are a penny or two. Even so, Eunha says she doesn’t like hospitals and doesn’t even go near them…”

“Oh, okay, how about ‘Mouse’?”

Eunha interrupted Ban Harin, who seemed to have no intention of quitting, and changed the topic.

Perhaps it was a too sudden change of topic, but Ban Harin seemed to have been caught off guard and fell silent for a moment.

“…Why are you looking for ‘mouse’?”

“You’re a benefactor. Mr. Banharin is a co-worker with Mr. ‘Mouse’, so I think he knows something. Are you okay?”

“Tsk… I’m doing well and not being admitted to the hospital. I’ll tell you to stop by the cafe later.”

Ban Harin clicks his tongue and answers.

It’s the same expressionless expression as usual, but for some reason, an image of a nervous cat barking comes to mind.

“Thank you… What does Mr. ‘Mouse’ like?”

“What do you know? Just give me a free hug with that soft body.”

Ban Harin expressed his displeasure with exaggerated gestures and returned to his original table.

It’s very impressive that his face remains expressionless.

“Mr. Eunha. Mr. Eunha.”

“Yes, Nari Kang.”

“My benefactor is Eunha.”

“……? i know.”

Kang Na-ri, who approached me in a new way, said.

What do you want to say?

I decided to pretend not to know.

… … .

After that there was surprisingly no conversation.

Ban Harin is quietly tapping on his laptop, and Kang Nari is in the corner of the kitchen mixing various foods with coffee as if making a potion.

Was the story of Mr. ‘Mouse’ brought up for no reason?

After only saying a few words, Eunha felt that the atmosphere in the cafe had become surprisingly stuffy. She fidgeted like a duck egg in the Nakdong River, then picked up the remote control and changed the TV channel installed in the cafe.

The TV, which was blinking, soon stopped on a news program titled [Hunter 24].

The scenery of [Cheongryong Department Store] seen in real time with the name ‘Emergency Breaking News’.

And the pitch-black smoke rising high into the sky from the rooftop of the department store hardens Eunha’s face.

A drone camera floating in the sky showed the horribly destroyed rooftop of a department store.

“Wow, a bomb attack in Seoul… Eunha. Wasn’t that the department store you went to with the owner a few days ago? It almost got into big trouble.”

“……Yes. I will.”

Eunha answered Kang Na-ri’s question with a complicated face.

The work at the department store went well.

The ‘accident’ in which Eunha fell from the glass bridge on the roof of a department store.

With the help of Association employee Ban Harin, it was concluded that it was a ‘safety accident’ caused by defective equipment. There was no trace of the skill being used?

The department store offered excessive compensation, including settlement money and psychological counseling, but they politely declined all of them.

That’s because the reason why Eunha fell from the rooftop was because of the [department store employee]. We both thought we were out of luck and decided to move on.

okay.

It went well.

Kwaang!!

… … however,

The rooftop of the department store exploded.

This is the second explosion today.

Once yesterday and again today.

Naturally, there was an uproar in the news. It was exploded so spectacularly, but the culprit was never found.

Unidentified ‘mana’ was detected at the explosion site, and it was defined as an artificial bombing incident… but that was all.

I don’t know why.

The culprit doesn’t even know.

I don’t know what kind of ‘skill’ he used to blow up the rooftop.

They just blow up the rooftop so that the department store doesn’t collapse, as if venting their anger somewhere far away.

I don’t think it was the work of [The Black Book], so what happened?

The timing is so elaborate that it’s confusing.

Daughter~.

“Phew~. I’m here~!”

The cafe door opened and Eunbangul came in.

The girl, wiping her forehead and pricking her white rabbit ears as if she was relieved, ran to Eunha, who was looking at the TV with a distraught heart, and hugged her.

The girl’s warm body temperature melts the atmosphere of the cafe like cotton candy.

“Welcome, Bell. Where have you been?”

“Hehe~ It’s a secret! I decided to make a secret for Eunha too!”

“It’s not dangerous, right?”

“Sure!”

The girl with her face buried in Eunha’s chest answers vigorously.

Nari Kang, who came next to her, greeted her by saying, ‘Welcome, boss~’, but Bangul didn’t respond, perhaps because she was preoccupied with Eunha at the moment.

“Wow! That department store exploded? Those bad guys! They were definitely punished for installing something like a transparent bridge on the roof! Eunha almost got seriously hurt!”

“How many times do I tell you I’m okay?”

“You’re mine!! My name is written all over your clothes and uniform!!”

“People are not things.”

A peaceful time.

Eunha had a peaceful time at the cafe today as well.

… On a good day like this, something always happens.

I didn’t want to go home.

… … .

… … .

『It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen you, kid.』

And as expected,

On her way home from the cafe, Eunha ran into [Bug Princess], who was guarding the hallway on the 9th floor of the apartment.
