The word ‘bug’ encompasses a surprisingly broad category.

An invertebrate with an exoskeleton. The majority of insects. Those wriggling on the floor like earthworms or centipedes, etc…

But most people don’t care about that.

They just call it a bug because it looks like a bug, but there’s nothing wrong with it.

Key profit!!

If you were to ask Eunha to point out what those ‘bugs’ have in common, after a long hesitation, she would answer like this.

‘They are disgusting and difficult to communicate with.’

So, sometimes, Ban Harin, who goes crazy in cafes, falls into the category of bugs and then escapes.

“Huh? Huh? Stop! Stop fly!”

The moment I put a kitchen knife to the abdomen to take out the scared mite ‘Fly’,

Eunha had to roll on the floor due to the struggle of the guy who was going wild like never before.

Even if you call his name, he won’t stop. Isn’t this a song?

It is difficult to keep one’s body in check due to the ‘fly’ moving around.

Crash!

My stomach swells. Something resembling a wooden stick pushes against the stomach wall in all directions, making breathing difficult.

Eunha lost her grip on the kitchen knife due to exhilarating pain and looked at [Bug Princess] with wide eyes.

『The fly is trying to escape from inside the kid… That’s strange. Why do you come now?』

“Off……! Where are you running away to?”

『It’s probably up or down. Which one is better?』

“Huh! Eh!… The lower part looks familiar…!”

Kagagak!!

Meanwhile, ‘Fly’ was pounding around on Eunha’s stomach wall.

I am terrified. Looking for a place to escape to.

What are you running away from?

It’s unknown.

Meanwhile, ‘Fly’ found a small hole between the stomach walls.

He hurriedly squeezed himself into the hole, like a refugee running away from a fire.

『Which direction are you heading?』

[Bug Princess] asked.

Eunha pointed upward with her finger.

I feel nauseated and cover my mouth with one hand.

The giant millipede ‘Gress’, which was inside the box tee, rubbed its head against Eunha’s cheek with a gesture full of worry.

We do not know why ‘Fly’ left the nest and suddenly chose to become independent.

However, there is one good news.

The esophagus is an organ that is more elastic than you might think.

Eunha lay down on the floor and punched her stomach.

I thought it would go faster if I put pressure on it.

‘Fly’ is moving.

A large creature comes out of its nest and crawls out of the narrow passage.

Is this right?

Sagagak-!

At that time, [Bug Princess] ran to the bedroom holding on to her loose skirt and returned to the living room, taking out something.

『Kid! Grab this!』

“This…what is this?”

Eunha, who was writhing on the floor like a bug, accepted the item handed to her by [Bug Princess] with trembling hands.

What is in this situation? Is it like a great weapon? Or painkillers?

Eunha blinked her blurry eyes to focus.

In the current situation where ‘Fly’ is running rampant, the item given by [Bug Princess], their leader…

… … It was a round sponge that was given to your hand when donating blood.

Why is this here?

『Because of the rules, we cannot harm the child’s body, so just touch it and soothe your mind.』

“Ai…! Thank you!”

Eunha eagerly squeezed and unfolded the sponge given to her by [Bug Princess].

Yes, my body doesn’t respond to painkillers due to [self-recovery], so shouldn’t there be something like this?

Slurp!

Just like that, Eunha came to the side and hugged [Bug Princess] with open arms,

I squeezed the soft sponge with both hands and closed my eyes.

It’s time to wake up.

… … .

Sagagagak-!

The sound of insect footsteps.

Not around, not in the stomach,

The sound coming up.

New life sprouts.

Like a sprout blooming from asphalt, with strong vitality.

The bug breaks the egg and comes out.

Break the small world that bound you and head to a bigger place.

Push!

Something breaks.

It is the sound of the galaxy sprouting.

‘Fly’ is the sound of an egg breaking open.

A clear and beautiful sound,

Announced the birth of life.

… … .

… … .

“So I came here.”

『You’ve had a hard time, kid.』

Eunha finished her brief reminiscence.

She put the snack handed to her by the [Beast] in her mouth.

I leaned back into the arms of the [Beast], stroking the tingling top of my head.

It hurt.

Is this what it feels like to see a sprout breaking through the asphalt?

If you think about it, there are people who praise the strong vitality of sprouts, but no one is worried about cracked asphalt for no reason.

But today. Eunha has become a person who can empathize with the asphalt that is giving way to sprouts.

If you think about it that way, it’s surprisingly not a bad experience.

After all, people must live positively.

“From now on, I won’t mindlessly eat food given to me by strangers.”

『… … What about mine?』

“It’s okay because I know Mr. [Beast].”

“family.”

“yes?”

『Not someone you know, but family.』

“…Do you want to have a family of your own?”

『I told you this before.』

Eat snacks while rubbing the top of your head.

A ghostly light flows beyond the window of a small fortune teller.

Even if you want to take pictures of the beautiful sight that will make your soul tremble, it is a pity that you cannot bring a camera or cell phone here.

『Old taste…』

While Eunha was massaging her entire body and eating cookies from the [Beast], the [Black Person] across from her sat quietly and stared at Eunha.

When Eunha and the [Beast] eat the snacks placed on the table, they only occasionally take out new plates from under the table.

Most of the snacks went into the mouth of the [beast], which constantly moved its numerous hands.

However, the [black person] only looks at the galaxy without the slightest distraction.

『Now it’s time to go back.』

How much time did you spend?

By the time there were 5 plates piled on the table. The [Black Person], who was tapping the table to measure the time, said.

『… … Don’t visit too often.』

“It’s not easy.”

『Now, let’s go back together. 』

“Together?”

And then, the cold hand of the [Beast] covered my eyes,

Darkness has come.

Darkness, as always,

there was nothing.

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

… … .

… … .

ㅡㅡㅡ♪

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♬ ㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡ♪

I heard a sound.

It was a beautiful sound.

The sound of leaves rustling in the breeze.

The quiet sound of insects in the grass.

The sounds of insects…

A concert of small lives.

Take the baton.

At our center, you were the one who laughed like a mischievous person.

You, who always presented beautiful music…

Sad yet lovely,

You are a liar.

What is my name?

… … .

… … .

『Are you awake?』

The top of my head hurts.

Eunha came to her senses after hearing the voice of [Bug Princess].

On the soft bed, she was receiving a lap pillow from [Bug Princess].

[Bug Princess] bends down and looks down at Eunha’s face.

Eunha looked at the seductive lips of ‘those’ and pursed her lips for no reason.

I just heard something… I think I heard beautiful music in my sleep…

My memory is blurry.

I touched the top of my head and looked around.

Familiar interior, familiar atmosphere… This is the bedroom of her house, [Room 904].

You’re back.

The night sky that fills the window is unfamiliar.

“……Good morning.”

『It’s still night.』

[Bug Princess] caresses Eunha’s cheek.

Perhaps because ‘Fly’ came out so hot, the girl’s dress was covered in dark red blood.

Every time a small hand strokes Eunha’s cheek, the hardened blood flakes off.

Eunha, who was looking up at [Bug Princess] with a blank face, pressed her head.

The top of his head is soft, like a baby who has just been born. When I poked my finger at the strange feeling, [Bug Princess] slapped me on the back of my hand, telling me not to do it.

Eunha inadvertently smiled as [Bug Princess] finger pressed her cheek as if playing with her.

“……What about Fly?”

『I came out safely. Currently, I am resting at Yeo’s house. I want to meet you, but I’m still scared, so I’m asking for time.』

“Hey… I wanted to see what it looked like, but it’s running away.”

Still, as long as you’re safe, it’s okay.

I don’t really care, except that I opened something other than my stomach.

Because it’s already happened.

‘Look. You didn’t die after all. ‘It’s no big deal?’

Eunha realized once again that she was alive and tried to get up.

However, because [Bug Princess] presses her forehead and tells her not to get up, she has no choice but to lie down on the girl’s thighs and look up at the ceiling.

I like the loose skirt because it is fluffy.

『… Thank you, dear. The people of Lu received help.』

“It’s no big deal. If you’re thankful, I’ll just take off my skirt.”

『I was wondering what would happen to my head injury, but fortunately I am in my right mind.』

Coquettish lips raise the corners of their mouths.

[Bug Princess] doesn’t care about the blood-covered dress, and carefully lifts Eunha’s head and lifts her body from the soft bed.

And… slowly,

I bowed towards the galaxy.

side…

cheep.

Sagagakㅡ. A feeble sound that disappears as it is buried by the footsteps of insects coming from inside the skirt.

But the warmth remained.

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

2. The lady in the black dress has moved in.

– She is a girl who likes pranks and compliments.

– Even something small is okay. Praise our playful little girl.

– You will repay one compliment with another, and another with something else.

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

『Hehe… please bear with this for now. This also shows quite a bit of courage.』

“……Is this a joke too?”

『Well, that’s it?』

[Bug Princess]’s voice contained a joy that could not be hidden.

I don’t know even if I know it.

『And since you helped ‘Fly’ this time… Yeo will help you again later. Because it’s a rule.』

“I will expect.”

“hmm. That’s how it should be. I have to look forward to it』

『Well, it looks like the mixed thing fell out… I’ll just go ahead and open it.』

『Oh, by the way, I put the jigsaw and insecticide on the living room table, so take them with you later.』

『I’ll bring Fly later. The child will be happy.』

“It seems like a lot to say.”

“noisy.”

And then [Bug Princess] got up from the soft bed and left the bedroom faster than usual.

Sagagakㅡ. The sound of insect footsteps is particularly noisy.

The sight of ‘that’ leaving behind as if running away is unfamiliar to me.

What on earth was that?

“……I don’t know. I’m tired.”

Eunha silently enjoyed the warmth that [Bug Princess] left behind.

But soon, her whole body became heavy from the pouring fatigue, and she lay helplessly on the bed.

Without even wiping away the blood that had flowed from the top of his head, he just roughly took off his blood-stained clothes and covered himself with a blanket.

it’s tough.

From the promotion exam to the fly rescue… I’m so sick and tired.

It feels as if something has been taken out of my body, and all the accumulated fatigue is coming all at once.

I’m so tired that I wonder if I’m going to have to say hello to a [black person] again.

‘The rest is tomorrow… So, should I take a vacation like this? Let’s sit at the cafe and relax while playing games with Mr. Banharin. I have to go get my hunter’s license… and…’

Eunha pressed the top of her head, which was still soft, and gently closed her eyes.

Soon, I fall into sleep as if I faint from the drowsiness that approaches me like a tidal wave.

It was a tiring day.

… … .

… … .

Knock knock. smart.

And, the bedroom where Eunha sleeps.

In a place where only the sound of her breathing can be heard as she sleeps soundly,

A knock was heard.

Knock knock. smart.

The sound came from the bedroom wall, not from the entrance.

A knock on the wall next door.

It resonates with a certain rhythm.

『… … Hey kid. Are you sleeping?』

covered in human skin,

The howl of an animal imitating a human.

A sound coming from next door lightly passes by the sleeping Eunha.

The night was deep.

※Guide to living safely at home※

​

1. Someone broke into your front door…

​ ~~ Omitted ~~

2. At night….​

​

3. When going to bed, go to the balcony…

​

4. Cognition is the connection of existence….

​

5. Sometimes I hear a knock on the wall next door.​

– I am a very worried neighbor.

– I think he’s probably just knocking on the wall to check how you’re doing.

​

– Don’t panic, just approach the wall where the sound is coming from and knock on the wall in the same way.

– It’s a sign that you’re doing well.

​

– However, you will have to tap at the same beat as your opponent.

– If the sound stops, it is successful.

​

5-1. If the other person does not stop even after you signal.​

– It could mean that they don’t like your ‘signals’ or that they want something else.

​

– It won’t be a big deal. Put your ear against the wall and observe the sound.

– If the sound comes from the other side, you can ignore it.

​

– However, if the ‘epicenter’ of the sound is determined to be inside your home, especially if the sound is heard hitting the wall directly behind the back of your head.

– If possible, head to the bedroom without looking back.

– Afterwards, lie down on the floor or bed in the correct position and cover yourself with the blanket up to your chin.

​

-If you quietly close your eyes and pretend to sleep, you may be safe.

​

​

6. Prolonged bathing may harm your health.​

– Bathing is good for recovering from fatigue and improving blood circulation.

– However, it is best to avoid bathing for more than 30 minutes.
