episode_0103

Eunha is a person who prefers going to work rather than coming home. Maybe you love going to work.

Because the monsters from [The Black Book] don’t approach you when you’re stuck together with other people in a cafe.

Still, humans’ ability to adapt is not to be taken lightly, but these days, they have managed to live well with monsters.

Even though ‘those’ are still trying to kill her in the name of a guide, and the rules being added day by day to the [Black Book] only show that the situation is getting worse rather than better… well, anyway.

Today too, after finishing her sweet work at the cafe, Eunha said goodbye to Baeul and was walking home with heavy steps to the ‘Saetbyeol Apartment’.

“Hello~. This time, the blood donation center has changed! How about donating blood?”

A young man who was handing out pamphlets to passers-by on the side of the road spoke to Eunha.

A tall, handsome man wearing a bright red uniform with a cross symbol on it.

Are you an employee of the blood donation center? Eunha glanced at the familiar blood donation house next to her.

I visited the blood donation house after thinking about whether I could somehow do something to help others because I was ashamed of being called an F-class hunter for the rest of my life.

Even before I picked up the [Black Book], I went there once every three days to get my blood drawn.

‘If I think about it now, I chose it in a funny way… Who recommended donating blood?’

For three years, I visited whenever I could to get blood drawn, and the staff were strangely friendly, which was memorable in many ways.

Just the convenience store gift certificate you received as a free gift would have been quite a lot of money.

However, the handsome man who is handing out pamphlets about the blood donation center is someone I have never seen at the blood donation center… It seems that the staff has changed in the meantime.

‘Blood donation… How many stickers have I collected so far?’

I thought as I stared at the pamphlet the young man handed me.

While I was thinking about it, why not stop by the blood donation bus and get some blood drawn?

It’s no different than that, I’ve been so busy in many ways that I’ve stopped donating blood.

Even though blood donation started in May, only 7 stickers have been collected, and 3 of them were ripped from goldfish.

It was quite a shameful thing for Eunha, who was once the majority shareholder of the Euncheongu blood pack.

‘… … No, I’m tired today so I’m going to quit. ‘If I continue to draw blood like this, I won’t be able to wake up tomorrow morning.’

The worry was short-lived. I’ll do it later.

Eunha roughly accepted the pamphlet handed to her by the handsome young man and hurried her steps.

“…….”

Grumbling…

Eunha passed by the young man, dragging a suitcase containing the [Black Book].

And, the young man who was handing out pamphlets to passers-by with a smiling face,

I stared at her back as she left.

“…There’s not much of a reaction.”

I was just handed a promotional pamphlet while walking down the street.

It was a normal daily life.

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

A not-so-refreshing morning.

Stress that builds up.

Eunha was tired.

“ha…”

Late evening after dinner.

Eunha soaked in warm bath water and massaged her sore shoulders.

The fatigue that had built up to the limit dissolved in the bath water and disappeared, and in its place, drowsiness came and gently pressed down on her eyelids.

It is an evening filled with heavy sighs.

‘Why is today so difficult? ‘Did you not sleep well?’

Eunha looked up at the shower stalled on the stand with a dreamy look on her face.

A dripping water drop catches her eye.

Thanks to the [Self-Recovery] skill, the galaxy is virtually free of waste.

Sometimes, when she gets tired, she soaks herself in warm water like this.

It’s been around for a long time… It’s a kind of hobby.

I haven’t had a chance to take a bath these days.

After picking up [The Black Book], I felt strangely refreshed every morning, so I didn’t need to take a bath.

It was even more so because on the day I was mistakenly caught by monsters, I fell asleep straight away, as if I had fainted, instead of taking a bath.

But today is a particularly unpleasant day.

It’s a good day to relieve stress by taking a bath.

Eunha caressed her smooth skin and melted her body in the warm water.

Maybe it’s because I’m tired, but thoughts of arrogance that don’t normally come to mind cross my mind.

‘… … ‘Am I growing properly?’

Snap!

I scooped up the bath water with one hand.

A soft forearm without any muscle catches my eye.

The only hard part is bone. Where are the muscles?

Eunha looked down at her body and smiled complexly.

This is a worry that has been sitting on her shoulders since lunch today, when she received a D-class hunter certificate from the Hunter Association.

A D-level exam that took a lot of effort and pain, but was still half-forced to pass.

Have you really grown up? Even though I learned ‘Body Strengthening’, it only lasts about 3 minutes…

The fatigue from the promotion exam tilts her mind in a negative direction.

Is this okay?

… Okay. Let’s think positively.

Now that you know your shortcomings, you can fill them in little by little from now on.

Eunha raised the corners of her mouth.

I’ve been laughing so much that the corners of my mouth hurt.

“…What are you doing, Mr. Banharin?”

I called Ban Harin on the cell phone I left next to me.

Then, press the call button and the call is connected in less than 4 seconds.

ㅡ Yes, Eunha.

“I received it quickly. Is this time okay?”

– I’m always fine. From the sound of your voice, I guess you’re taking a bath?

“That’s accurate.”

Pirorong…

Ban Harin hung up the phone.

Soon a video call comes in.

Am I crazy?

Eunha frowned as she received Ban Harin’s video call.

“Are you satisfied?”

ㅡ I love you.

“Put it away.”

Eunha, who was accustomed to ignoring Ban Harin’s flirtation, burst into laughter.

Ban Harin, seen on the screen, was sitting on the sofa wearing pajamas with a fluffy puppy pattern on them.

Perhaps, since he knows that Eunha takes a bath when she’s tired, he was intentionally trying to lighten the mood with such a prank.

This is truly useless kindness.

For no reason, the corners of my mouth become loose.

Eunha looked at Ban Harin’s cold face beyond the camera and swept up her wet bangs.

ㅡ So, what concerns have you come to visit today?

“I haven’t said anything yet.”

-If we pretend to be between us, wouldn’t it be pretending? And judging by the fact that he called me and not Eunbangul… he seems to be having concerns regarding hunters.

I am amazed by the surprisingly accurate insight.

After all, is he a C-class hunter? Her keen eye, which seems to read people’s minds, makes me click my tongue without realizing it.

Banharin like that is a C-rank hunter, but he looks like this even though he is a D-rank…

Eunha chews her lips and speaks in a low voice.

“There are always worries… but it’s not a big deal, so Mr. Banharin doesn’t have to worry about it. What about that?”

ㅡ … … Recently, I have been receiving unwelcome requests for cooperation.

“A request for cooperation?”

ㅡ That’s right. There are many teams in our department, but people from other teams that we are not close to will suddenly come to help our team with its work. Doesn’t it look suspicious at first glance?

It seems that not only Eunha but also Ban Harin had concerns.

Like pricking a fully filled water balloon with a needle, you begin to freely pour out all the complaints you have been holding in.

As if Eunha was waiting for him to ask.

– Of course, I keep refusing. However, I was hesitating because I was certain that this was a difficult boss in many ways. Do you know how severe the factional fighting is inside even an association? As they bite and fight amongst themselves, they end up being eaten away by the large guilds.

“Ah, yes… But can I say things like this as much as I want? Won’t it cause a big problem later?”

ㅡ … Because I decided to answer Eunha’s question as honestly as possible.

After that, Ban Harin complained that her co-workers did not do their work properly and that her team kept missing the ‘rare animals’ that were on probation.

I plan to use this opportunity to vent all the dissatisfaction that has been building up knowingly or unknowingly.

Eunha turned on the shower and added hot water to the lukewarm bath water, ignoring Ban Harin’s complaints.

Because it probably has nothing to do with her.

Isn’t this the Hunter Association’s job?

Hearing stories like that only makes my head hurt.

He just sympathizes with Ban Harin’s complaints and agrees appropriately.

Eunha soaked herself in warm bath water with Ban Harin’s voice as music.

warm.

This is something I realized once again: being in the water makes my whole body feel at ease. Is it because the big breasts are floating in the water?

The weight on your shoulders and waist is reduced, making your whole body feel lighter.

“ha……”

Take a deep breath.

Ban Harin’s emotionless voice was so pleasant to hear that it seemed like white noise, and taking a bath after a long time gently melted Eunha’s heart.

– So what I mean is… Eunha? Are you sleeping?

The layers of accumulated fatigue dissolve in the water, making you drowsy.

Eunha quietly closed her eyes as she bathed in the warm water.

It was a tiring day.

… … .

… … .

“……Wow, it’s cold.”

Snap!

How much time has passed?

Eunha dozed off for a moment while leaning in the bathtub,

I came to my senses with goosebumps running up my back.

cold.

The bath water is as cold as ice.

The lapping waves sway irregularly in accordance with her movements.

“…How many minutes did I doze off?”

I picked up the turned off cell phone and stood up.

Ban Harin’s voice was so good that I dozed off for a moment.

Should I ask you to do something like ASMR later?

Crackling ㅡ.

Thin ice forms on the surface of cold bath water.

Eunha felt the remaining sleepiness disappearing in an instant and looked around.

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

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.

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

Ordinary bathroom, cold bath water.

A naked woman sitting in a bathtub.

Nothing in particular has changed.

Eunha looked around.

No suspicious objects appear, and the light in the bathroom does not blink.

The bloody woman holding a jigsaw in her hand did not even enter the bathroom.

nothing,

It’s really an ordinary bathroom.

‘Is this just a guide to not taking long baths? No way…’

Cold bath water, quiet bathroom.

Myself sitting in the bathtub.

What on earth?

Eunha lowered her head and looked down at her body.

『… … .』

My own face reflected in the water,

was laughing

… … .

“Well, this is partly my fault for falling asleep, so let’s resolve it through conversation.”

Eunha also laughed.

Lifting the stiff corners of his mouth.

Sigh!

Immediately after, something reflected in the water tugged at her.
