Thump… thud…

When it rains, I feel calm.

When the cold rainwater hit my cheek, it felt like my hardened feelings were being washed away.

(You… are always the same.)

Eunha likes rainy days.

​

Quiet countryside.

The tunnel under the overpass.

A space where people have stopped visiting and only has lush greenery.

​

One day, I will sit down in front of a cold tunnel,

I once looked up blankly at the rainy sky.

A long time ago… I don’t remember anymore.

It was a dream I had when I was very young.

… … .

“Eunha. Do you know that? Surprisingly, there is a scientific basis for the fact that we think of green onion pancakes when it rains. In that sense, please make green onion pancakes.”

“Don’t ruin the mood for no reason.”

“That’s right! Leave Eunha alone!”

Today, as always, the morning starts with Ban Harin’s damn sickness.

Eunha sat at the cafe table and looked out the window at the rain.

The rainy season pours down like a hole in the sky.

The July sky seems to hate summer. Perhaps because of the hot weather, my tear ducts have weakened, but I often burst into tears like today.

It was a day like any other, except that the rainy season had started and there were no customers in the cafe.

Some people come to the cafe even on rainy days to enjoy the calm atmosphere, but unfortunately, Eunbangul’s Cafe is not a place that values atmosphere.

The interior of the cafe is mediocre and the view through the glass window is not that good.

An ordinary cafe that can be found anywhere… is what Eunha thinks.

“…How can this cafe be an ordinary one when it has such a long-standing clerk?”

“I’m normal.”

“Wow… that’s unlucky.”

“What are you saying, Kang Nari?”

“Oh, no! That’s a mistake, Eunha! My true feelings just came out as is!”

That day, Eunha spent time chatting with the cafe family and watching the TV installed in the cafe.

Then, suddenly, I remembered the conversation I had with the young man at the blood donation center on my way to work.

I brought up the story about [Crack Field] to Ban Harin, who was playing a smartphone game at the table next to me.

“Are you saying you want to enter [the Rift Field]?”

“I have a hunter’s license, but I haven’t done anything worthy of a hunter yet.”

“I thought you’d just put it in the closet like a car license, but… I understand. Come with me this holiday…”

“No! This week, we’re going to have a party together to celebrate Eunha’s passing to D-level!”

“…How about next week’s holiday? I will prepare the small details, so Eunha, just prepare your body and weapons.”

“Thank you always.”

Next week’s holiday, explore the [Rift Field] with C-rank Hunter Ban Harin.

Eunha, who had the newly added schedule engraved in her mind, stroked the silver bell in her arms.

Pure white rabbit ears twitching with joy slap Eunha’s cheek.

“But there are really no customers today. Isn’t this a waste to have only 4 employees in this small cafe?”

“Don’t subtly put yourself in the employee category.”

“That’s right! Just taking up space all day!”

“That’s why I order coffee once every 30 minutes. I think that’s enough for the price of a seat.”

Ban Harin makes a gesture of injustice with an expressionless face.

Nari Kang, who was making coffee in the kitchen, looks at her with a cold, salty face.

Like that, Eunha listened to the sound of rain coming through the gap in the door,

Welcoming guests from time to time,

I had a peaceful day.

A sweet time when the monsters of [The Black Book] do not approach…

There is no better place than this to control your exhausted mind.

Toad-duk… toad-duk…

It was a morning where cold rainwater bounced off the glass window.

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

‘I hope today passes safely. I almost got killed by [Doll Girl] yesterday too, so what else could happen?’

6 pm.

After finishing the cafe, Eunha returned to Saetbyul Apartment with heavy steps.

My legs are heavy.

Because my pants were wet from the pouring rain.

After greeting the security guard and entering the apartment building, Eunha patted her rain-soaked umbrella and moistened her lips.

I like watching rain, but I hate feeling uncomfortable.

It’s not unfair to walk around with the intention of getting caught in the rain, but the fact that your pants become wet despite using an umbrella is definitely one of the reasons why people hate rain.

Even though I was using an umbrella, my top got wet due to my large breasts pushing up my box tee.

Should I have leaned the umbrella forward a little more?

“Wow, Mr. Is this wet? Next time, I’ll wear a raincoat. Just wait.”

After shaking off the rainwater that had formed on her suitcase, Eunha went up the stairs to the 9th floor again.

… … .

… … .

“Haa… Haa… Stairs are hard… I actually like them. It feels like I’m climbing a mountain with tires on. Maybe I gained some muscle?”

“oh. It’s been a while, kid.』

And, barely able to reach the 9th floor while lifting the suitcase containing the [Black Book].

Eunha, who was holding on to the staircase railing and letting out hot breath, trembled when she heard a captivating voice coming from right next to her.

Sagagakㅡ.

Not the stairs Eunha came up from, but the stairs coming down from the 10th floor.

A girl wearing a gothic dress was coming down with an elegant gesture.

Sagagakㅡ.

A girl’s skirt reaching down to the floor, and the sound of bugs’ footsteps coming from inside.

The sound of insects seeping through the hallway window.

A lace parasol held in one hand is covering the girl’s eyes.

『How have you been?』

『… … .』

“I’m always happy.”

[Bug Princess], who met again after a few days, smiled mischievously as she looked at Eunha, who was exhausted from climbing the stairs.

“Your lips are pretty.”

『Today’s kid is very sexy.』

“Where on earth are you going?”

『Aren’t the rain-soaked clothes sticking to your body?』

Rules of [Bug Princess].

Praise anything.

Eunha frowned, massaging her throbbing arm from dragging a heavy suitcase up to the 9th floor.

After stretching for a few seconds, the [Self-Recovery] skill restores her body to its original state.

Eunha, holding a suitcase in one hand and an umbrella in the other, walked towards [Bug Princess].

“…By the way, what happened today?”

『Hehe. Do I need a reason to meet you?… Wasn’t it between us?』

In response to Eunha’s question, which was full of nuance telling her to pass quickly,

[Bug Princess] said she was very happy and touched her lips as if showing off.

As if savoring something,

Soft yet sticky.

(page…)

A warm feeling suddenly came to mind.

Eunha, whose cheeks were blushing unconsciously, quietly averted her gaze.

I’ve felt this before, but unlike other monsters whose lives are in danger…

[Bug Princess] is dangerous in some other way.

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

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.

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

A girl who loves fun,

It is clear that ‘playing with fire’ was included in that prank.

something is something

‘… … No, I actually like it!’

Eunha had courage.

There is nothing worse than falling from the 7th floor of an apartment building.

I even gave birth to a bug baby on the top of my head, so what is more scary?

“huh?”

Eunha was measuring the timing to lift [Bug Princess]’s parasol.

Then,

She discovered ‘something’ hiding behind [Bug Princess]’s back.

『… … .』

Smaller than [Bug Princess]…

A girl of similar height to the [doll girl] I met yesterday.

The black short hair is mixed with horizontal amber stripes,

Long bangs were covering the girl’s eyes.

She was a cute girl who reminded me of a plump bumble bee.

“But, that kid hiding behind…”

『I came with you because I wanted to say thank you.』

『… … .』

The bumble bee girl hid behind the [Bug Princess]’s back and peeked her head out from under the lace parasol to look at the galaxy.

I don’t know where I’m looking because of the bangs that cover my eyes.

Then, perhaps because she was embarrassed by Eunha’s interest in her, she got startled every time Eunha made eye contact and hid behind [Bug Princess]’s back.

The corner of Eunha’s mouth twitched at the unexpected appearance of a cute bumble bee.

It seems that the mind follows the body, and when I see a cute creature, I feel the urge to pet it without mercy.

『Hey, isn’t Yeo’s companion waiting for you? I will be watching from behind, so take courage.』

『… … .』

Thanks to the support of [Bug Princess], the bumble bee girl came forward.

The girl, completely disfigured, was wearing the same gothic dress as the [Bug Princess].

Looking at the hem of her skirt dragging on the floor, it seems like [Bug Princess] dressed her in her own clothes.

Were there any other clothes?

Surprisingly, he is a gentleman wearing only one piece.

『… … .』

A bumble bee approached Eunha with a shy gait.

Soon the girl took something out.

Fits perfectly in small hands,

It was a yellow castanets.

Ta-ga-da-gak!

And, the bumblebee girl with pursed lips,

I held the castanats in both hands and started to play the rhythm.

A concert of bugs.

The sound of castanets reminds me of the flapping wings of a small insect.

The girl’s movements, as if she was watching a daycare routine, gently melted Eunha’s heart, and behind her, [Bug Princess] was clapping, saying, “Good job, good job.”

Ta-ga-da-gak! Takkak!

But they say the fun time is over in an instant.

The Bumblebee Girl’s concert ended in the blink of an eye.

After finishing the concert, the girl looks up shyly at Eunha’s face.

『… … .』

『Thank you for allowing me to be born in this world.』

What are the closed lips trying to say?

Eunha’s eyes drew a soft curve.

I can’t look into the bumble bee girl’s eyes because my bangs cover my eyes, but

As if asking, “How was it?”, I could feel the expectant gaze.

Ok…

Eunha slowly lowered her body and gave the girl in front of her a warm hug.

『… … .』

The bumble bee in Eunha’s arms wriggled and rubbed its face against Eunha’s arms.

She hugs Eunha’s waist with her small hands, opens her pursed lips, and murmurs Eunha’s large breasts.

Am I hungry?

“…This kid is ‘Fly’, right? He’s grown up a lot.”

『That’s right. Yeo was quite surprised at first.』

It’s definitely true.

This is ‘Fly’, who received great help during the D-class exam and was released after spending a quiet time in the womb.

That little child has already grown so much.

Eunha felt a strong attraction to the bumble bee in her arms.

“It’s raining outside, is it okay to stay out like this?”

『The people of Lu love moisture. There is no need to fill the humidifier with water, so I hope the current rain will last for a long time.』

“…Shall we spray dehumidifiers instead of pesticides next time?”

『Uh huh.』

Ta-ga-da-gak!

[Bug Princess] came to the side and tapped the head of the mite bumble bee.

Then, the girl who was pounding Eunha’s chest calmly stepped back and hid behind the [Bug Princess]’s back, clicking the castanets in both hands.

Eunha stood up with deep regret in her arms.

“Would you like to live at my house?”

『Are you planning to let the people of Lu live in such a dangerous place? He will often come with ‘Fly’, so just bear with it.』

“Is this what’s going on between us? Where’s my custody?”

『Tsk… I’m usually not in my right mind, but I’m especially so today.』

With those words, [Bug Princess] prepared to leave with the bumblebee girl.

I guess the purpose was to make the bumble bee mite say hello to Eunha.

I was quite embarrassed when he suddenly came to visit me, but I feel very sad to think that we are leaving like this.

Ta-ga-da-gak!

That seems to be the same for the bumble bee girl.

From the moment I separated from Eunha, I have only been looking at her.

Ta-ga-da-gak!

Yellow castanets sing of regret.

However, it will soon be time for the sun, hidden by dark clouds, to go below the horizon.

Eunha smiled as brightly as she could while stroking the bumble bee girl’s fluffy hair.

“Come visit me again later. I’ll have a lot of fun with you then.”

『… … .』

Bumblebee nodded vigorously.

How can there be such tiny creatures?

Is it because the child was born with a stomachache?

Eunha added one word in excitement.

“Don’t live in pain like me, live for a long time… until you’re 100?”

『… … !!!』

Tuk……

and,

For some reason,

The bumblebee girl had a shocked look on her face… and dropped the castanets she was holding in both hands.

what.

Should I have called him 200 years old?

… … .

… … .

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

5. I felt thin and hungry.

– Because I am always hungry, the princess periodically provides a home for me.

– Because it is sweet, it spoils quickly.

– If you eat my house, I sing in your stomach.

– Who am I.

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

After breaking up with Eunha.

Room 1003.

The bumble bee girl returned home with [Bug Princess].

Thinking of Eunha with a languid smile,

I pursed my pursed lips.

… … .

Am I hungry?

… … .
