“This potion is dangerous.”

“Which part?”

“This is about me and Eunha.”

Eunha, who was massaging the splint that Ban Ha-rin had given her wrist in the cafe’s break room, listened to Kang Na-ri’s words as she walked into the break room with careful steps and locked the doorknob.

The youngest member of the [Blue Dragon family], a semi-basement debt collector who made potion making his life.

The morning sunlight coming through the tightly closed window falls on her blue hair.

Since the main ingredient of the potion is the blood of monsters, this woman has a subtle scent of herbal medicine mixed with the scent of soap and coffee to remove the smell of blood on her body.

“…Hehe… I’m embarrassed to see you like this. Actually, I’ve been afraid of making eye contact and talking to people since I was young. I hated holidays at home because of my relatives, and after taking out a private loan, I ended up living in a semi-basement… .. If I stay like this with Eunha, I think I’ll say something strange without thinking.”

“I wonder how strange that is. But don’t let it get out of your throat.”

“My tastes have changed because of Eunha. I will take responsibility.”

“I told you not to let me out.”

Kang Na-ri, who appealed her taste without being serious, held out a bright red potion. Her face, looking directly at Eunha’s face while lightly brushing her hair that had fallen in front, revealed the aspect of a skilled craftsman.

‘Potion… Is that really it? ‘My blood?’

Eunha, who remembered the ‘blood sample’ she had previously given as a gift to make into a potion, stretched out her upper body and looked at Kang Na-ri’s potion.

Then, Nari Kang quietly took the potion that had been placed on the table back, and Eunha’s body leaned forward even more accordingly.

“Wow… awesome.”

“What.”

“Of course, that means the potion is great. Look at this. Doesn’t the color look different?”

Kang Na-ri, who was looking at Eunha’s chest with a happy smile, carefully handed her the potion and flirted with it.

Eunha was looking at Kang Na-ri with an indifferent face, but soon after being handed the potion, she began to examine it carefully.

Contrary to the question of whether the color is different, it is an ordinary potion.

The liquid, which was bright red and thick like honey, was so clean that no impurities could be found, but it looked like it had been filled with delicious strawberry-flavored jelly in a glass bottle, so I tasted it without thinking.

It’s amazing that this is a potion made with one’s own blood.

“What do you think? Of course, since this is a potion I made, there is no doubt about its quality. Of course, it would be rude to compare it with common things sold on the market. It is a potion I made. But this potion was a little difficult, or I was not confident… .. I kind of wish someone would praise me. Hehe….”

This woman has surprisingly high self-esteem.

Perhaps it was because he was the youngest child of a conglomerate called the [Cheongryong family], but even though he became a debt collector in a semi-basement, his self-esteem did not drop, but instead he was only mixed with the darkness of the semi-basement.

This may be because he suffered greatly while living as a debtor.

When Eunha thought that, her eyes filled with pity.

“Mr. Ban Harin said that Nari Kang is a beauty as long as she keeps her mouth shut.”

“Could you please tell me to look in the mirror?”

“I already told you.”

“More than that, Eunha! That’s not what’s important! Look at this carefully.”

At that time, Na-ri Kang, who was about to gossip about Ban Ha-rin, suddenly came to her senses and returned to the main topic.

Sreung…

She rolled up one sleeve of her cafe uniform and took out a small snack from her apron pocket. As the sharp blade is revealed, Eunha blinks her eyes as if she is anxious.

Soon after, Nari Kang spread a towel on the table and cut a wound on her forearm with a familiar hand motion.

When the sharp knife cut Kang Nari’s skin, Eunha grimaced and looked away.

“Huh?… Oh, I’m sorry. Was it a little hard to see? Eunha is a hunter, so I thought she would be okay, but I wasn’t very considerate.”

“……No, it’s nothing. Please continue.”

“Yes. Take a good look now.”

Kang Nari dripped a few drops of the bright red potion onto her forearm, which was seeping with red blood.

Then, the wound began to heal from where the potion drop fell.

Her wounds healed within seconds…

… … .

… … hmm. The effect is good.

So what’s the danger?

Eunha looked at Kang Nari with a puzzled face.

… Nari Kang was groping her body with a somewhat anxious look on her face.

“what are you doing?”

“Don’t you know?… Wake up and try.”

“……?”

Hearing her words, I quietly got up from the sofa. Why on earth is he doing that?

Soon after, Kang Na-ri, who had been checking her body for a while, also put away the bloody towel and stood up.

And… I wiggled my sapphire-blue hair and looked up at the galaxy.

Still,

I looked up.

“……Nari Kang, was your height always like this?”

It’s a minor discomfort that you won’t notice unless you pay attention.

However, once the sense of discomfort is recognized, its size increases and it becomes a huge embarrassment.

Unknowingly, Eunha took a step closer to Kang Nari’s eye level, which was lower than usual.

Kang Nari got smaller.

No… I got younger. More than you think.

Kang Na-ri seemed to have the fresh-faced energy of a college student, not a mature office worker, in her eyes.

“My eyesight, which had worsened while making potions in the dark basement, has improved. The scars I had when I was young have disappeared… Even the great [Galaxy Potion] is worse than tap water compared to this potion. This precious potion needs to be diluted dozens of times more. “It will have a similar effect.”

“…….”

Medicine of rejuvenation. A cure-all medicine.

While adjusting her noticeably loose uniform, Kang Na-ri evaluated the potion in front of her that way.

She, who was almost abandoned by the [Blue Dragon Family], and Eunha, a cafe employee.

He also added that it is a dangerous item for two people without much background to handle carelessly.

To put it simply, it is difficult to keep up with it.

“Wow, but it’s really amazing. What kind of mechanism is it? It’s not like it’s turning back time, but is it the principle of remotely activating a ‘skill’ from the mana contained in the blood along with the existing recovery ability? I’m curious what kind of skill it is.”

Still, writing down one’s physical condition on a note makes one feel that one is really sincere about the potion.

‘Rejuvenation?… I didn’t hear that?’

However, Eunha looked down at her body with an expression of incomprehension.

Because of her large breasts, she can’t even see her feet. No matter how you look at it, the body is far from rejuvenation.

What’s different?

I don’t know yet.

“Actually, I was scared since last night. I thought that if I fell asleep like this and woke up, I might even become a baby who can’t even walk… Hehe~, I’m glad I only took a few drops! Because of my debt, I don’t have the money to buy a lab rat. “I didn’t have any, so I tested it on my own body. Now that I’m getting paid, I have to live a healthy life.”

Nari Kang shakes the potion, which still has more than half of it left, and smiles in self-deprecation.

Eunha felt sorry for her for having to suddenly become younger. Would things have been different if I had explained it in more detail?

In some ways, getting younger is something to celebrate, but sudden changes can come as a huge shock to some people.

Because of this, Eunha held Kang Na-ri, who had become smaller than yesterday, in her arms.

Kang Na-ri, who was momentarily taken aback by the bold skinship… calmly falls into Eunha’s arms and wraps her arms around her back.

She is the daughter of a chaebol family who quite likes hugs.

“Wow, this height difference is also exciting.”

“…I just keep the remaining potions.”

“Huh? Don’t you like what Eunha has? You said you have no intention of selling it.”

“I think it would be safer for Kang Na-ri to keep it rather than for me. If you happen to get seriously hurt in the future, you can use it then.”

Kang Nari flatly refused, saying it was a very precious item, but she quickly quieted down when Eunha buried her face in his chest.

Eunha put a potion into Kang Na-ri’s apron, which had become quiet.

Let’s think positively.

Wouldn’t it be a good thing if the potion was effective?

I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give it to Eunbangul and Banharin as a gift to commemorate their promotion to D class.

Considering the effect of [Self-Healing], that potion will definitely be of great help in times of danger.

If you think of it as insurance, it is surprisingly a good product.

“It’s dangerous to just use it, so dilute it appropriately and share it with Bell and Banharin. It’s a good idea to stock up on the potion.”

“…Okay, just leave it to me. I’ll make any potions for you. And thanks to training with that girl I fell in love with at the park, I’ve gotten a lot stronger, right? I’ll be your bodyguard.”

“I will expect.”

I laid down on the sofa with Kang Na-ri, who had calmed down, in my arms.

It is small enough to be comfortable to hold. I feel like I have one more younger sister.

Eunha spent time on the sofa, hugging Kang Nari.

Rumbling.

“Out of nowhere, jajajajan-”

“Don’t disturb me while I’m resting.”

“Excuse me.”

Dalkak-.

Ban Ha-rin bursts into the lounge for no reason and retreats after being scolded by Eun-ha.

I don’t know what to do. Is it okay for a regular customer to open the lounge of someone else’s cafe?

“…I locked the door, why did that woman come in?”

“I don’t know.”

Eunha burst out laughing and took off the splint on her wrist and placed it on the table.

The wrist that was broken by the security guard has completely recovered, with only a small bruise remaining.

My wrist was restored, and the potion I had entrusted to me was completed.

It was a satisfying morning.

… … .

… … .

“Café latte sister! Please pack two cups of cafe latte!”

After talking with Nari Kang in the lounge.

Eunha took her order at the counter as usual.

Compared to a few months ago, more and more customers arrive, bringing noise to the small cafe.

[Euncheon Academy] Eunha smiled at the bright order of a female student in school uniform and finished calculating. Then, she heard an unfamiliar name and straightened the corners of her mouth.

The steps of the guests leaving with a smile are lighter today.

What is Cafe Latte?

Eunha asked the person who seemed to know the most about that title.

“Now, Eunha is not a D-class hunter. That’s why the nickname ‘Promotion Test Ji Bak-ryeong’ is not very effective. That’s why it appears to be ‘Café Latte Sister.’”

“why?”

“Don’t you work at a cafe?”

“What about the latte part?”

“Do you really need to say that out loud?”

I see. I don’t know who started it, but it was built like shit.

Eunha pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and slapped Ban Harin’s side.

Today, because she had decided to use ‘Body Strengthening’, the blow felt heavier than usual, but even so, Ban Harin made a gesture asking if a mosquito had bitten her and tried to scare her.

Euncheon-gu’s soft fist.

Cafe Latte Sister…

Who on earth would gift such a title?

I’m very curious.

“The two together are Malang Cow.”

“Oh, get out of here.”

hug!

When I hit Ban Harin’s side, a thrilling pain came from my bruised wrist.

Eunha pretended like nothing was wrong and moved to the counter, stroking her wrist.

Peaceful cafe. Customers sitting at a table drinking coffee. Academy students bring laptops and work on assignments with their friends…

In such peace, Eunha slowly recalled the conversation she had with Nari Kang in the lounge earlier.

Something bigger than I expected was created. What should I do with that potion?

‘I thought I’d make a potion that only heals well… What is that?’

I think this is what it would feel like if a toy made as a joke received the Nobel Prize.

Who would have thought that his own blood would have had such an effect. Once again, I start to fear the efficacy of the [Self-Healing] skill.

In some ways, it may seem natural that she has the ability to survive for a while even if her limbs are chopped off and her heart is ripped out, but looking at Kang Na-ri, who has subtly become younger, makes me think about many things.

In this case, you need to be careful about donating blood.

Just in case, let’s draw blood only at the [blood donation bus].

‘… … for a moment? Blood donation?’

Then, suddenly.

Eunha, who was waiting for customers in front of the checkout counter, blinked as something passed through her mind.

Potions, and blood donation.

I feel like I’ve realized something… something very important.

Is it accurate to say that it smells?

(I was worried that something had happened since you haven’t seen me lately… Are you no longer donating blood?)

(……Is there any reason why you don’t do it?)

(Thank you… That and this… We are holding an event at the blood donation house this time, so please be sure to visit Eunha.)

At some point, blood donation recommendations increased.

Apparently, after picking up the [Black Book]… I abandoned the blood donation center I was previously using, saying I wanted to collect 10 stickers for the [Blood Donation Bus].

“hmm…?”

Eunha stroked her chin and thought deeply.

(Hello! [Cheongryong Energy] has announced a gas inspection!)

(By the way, Eunha, do you donate blood? I do it sometimes, and it’s more rewarding and better than I thought.)

(……since it’s over anyway, I’ll teach you. I’ll take you to the [facility]. There, you’ll spend your whole life working for the development of our country.)

Not long ago, some assailants visited her apartment.

They tried to kidnap her, who lived a normal life without a family or against anyone.

I was still worried.

It wasn’t just robbery or breaking into an empty house, it was kidnapping.

What was the reason?

“Umm…?”

Eunha, who was smoothing her chin, turned her head.

In a kitchen filled with the fragrant smell of coffee, association employee Ban Harin is making coffee with Kang Na-ri with an expressionless face.

A regular customer who has been coming to the cafe for three years.

Did you say that you work on a team that protects ‘rare creatures’?

Certainly, if you look at her laptop from time to time, you can see animals such as otters and mandarin ducks observed through CCTV installed along the riverside in Euncheon-gu.

“…Why are you doing this, Cafe Latte?”

“hmm……”

Eunha said nothing,

I stared at Ban Harin, who was drinking coffee.
