“Oh… the snacks today are delicious.”

    A small fortune-telling restaurant where you can relax your body and mind in a cozy atmosphere.

    Eunha exclaimed in admiration as she ate the snacks laid out on the table one by one.

    Rustling…

    After being ‘played with dolls’ by [Doll Girl] all night, Eunha left her messed up body to [Red Woman].

    She is taking a break at her usual fortune telling shop until her teacher’s ‘surgery’ is over.

    『How do you feel? 』

    “it is delicious.”

    The cries of the [animal] that sat Eunha down on her knees tickle the back of her neck.

    I wonder if this is what it feels like to go out of body, but my feather-light body is still unfamiliar to me.

    Even if you lower your head, you cannot see your own body, and you can only feel the numerous hands of the [Beast] reaching out from behind and massaging your entire body.

    That sticky yet cold touch gives me goosebumps.

    Eunha quietly looked down at the snacks on the table.

    A flat tortilla topped with yellow honey… something subtle enough to be called a snack.

    If you take a big bite, squeezing it tightly to prevent the honey from spilling out, the taste of softer bread and sweeter honey than expected stimulates your tongue.

    Eunha, whose mouth was filled with honey, pursed her lips eagerly.

    it’s good.

    It tastes good.

    This is a natural result since it contains an extravagant amount of sweet honey.

    “hmm…”

    『Why are you doing that?』

    “It tastes good… but it just tastes like honey.”

    It’s so sweet that I can’t eat much.

    Honest impressions.

    Everything was pitch black. [The person in black] tapped the table.

    『… … is it.”

    “I’m not saying I don’t like it. I’m just always grateful.”

    『It still tastes like the old days.』

    “yes.”

    Immediate answer this time.

    Under the [black person]’s hat, it’s strangely pitch black, so you can’t see ‘that’s’ face… but it gives off a somewhat hurt look.

    But guess what? It’s true that it tastes old.

    Eunha doesn’t care and eats the snack(?).

    So she received attention as sweet as honey.

    I spend time having my whole body touched by the [animal].

    … … .

    When I look out the window, pure white ghostly lights are flowing somewhere like the Milky Way.

    The windows rattled as if the wind was blowing, and the old wooden window frames creaked and shook.

    In line with this, the silk threads hanging down inside the fortune teller flutter like hair.

    Shake! Shake!

    The sound of the wind hitting the window.

    『… … The time has come.』

    Soon, the [Black Person], who was tapping the table to estimate the time, muttered quietly.

    Immediately after, the light bulb on the ceiling flickered, creating a gloomy atmosphere.

    The fear rising from instinct causes Eunha’s body to tremble.

    『It’s okay. Don’t be scared.』

    A cry that imitates a human, covered in human skin.

    The [Beast] with many hands stroked Eunha, telling her to be at ease. He wraps his arms around her waist, places his hands on her thighs, strokes her cheeks, and cups her large breasts. A cold hand wraps itself around Eunha’s hand and strokes her hair.

    Many hands calm the heart of the galaxy.

    Shake! Shake!!

    “……Not at all? I wasn’t scared at all.”

    Eunha, sitting on the [Beast]’s lap, laughed as usual.

    He held his knees tightly with both hands and held the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth to prevent himself from biting it.

    Shake! Shake!

    The sound of the wind hitting the window gets louder by the minute.

    I haven’t even eaten much of the snacks, but I’m already leaving.

    Eunha felt a little regret… She quickly picked up a snack on the table and brought it to her mouth.

    『And, he asked me to deliver this to you.』

    “Umm?”

    at that time,

    [The black person] said.

    Tuk…

    What I took out from the inside pocket of my pitch black suit.

    One pure white pill.

    Eunha, who was eagerly licking the honey on the bread, gulped down the honey while looking at the ‘pill’ that the [Black Person] took out.

    Pill… I’ve seen it once.

    A while back, the day I unfairly fell from the rooftop of [Cheongryong Department Store].

    At that time, I visited [the person in black] and took the same ‘pill’ as I do now.

    ‘What happened after that?… I don’t remember. ‘Has my brain been damaged because I’ve been pushing my body so hard these days?’

    Unidentified pill.

    But it’s not a bad product.

    Because it’s given to me by [the black person] who always gives me snacks for free. I carefully think about whether it might be a nutritional supplement that is good for the body.

    Is it really possible that I will die from taking just one pill?

    [Self-recovery] Thanks to painkillers and anesthesia, there are no effects?

    Wow.

    As Eunha took the pill without hesitation, the [Black Person] nodded slightly and looked at the [Beast].

    Then, the cold hand of the [Beast] moves gently and covers Eunha’s eyes.

    『The relationships you accumulate will definitely be helpful, but you should not be buried under the weight of them.』

    Both eyes are covered.

    And, there is always darkness.

    there was nothing.

    … … .

    … … .

    … … .

    “……kehehe! Kehehe!!”

    10 am.

    Eunha came to her senses and vomited blood from her throat.

    I feel like I died and woke up.

    The feeling I had when I met [the black person] and returned to reality.

    It felt like someone had cut the top of my head in half, chewed the soft brain like gum and spit it out.

    To have a headache.

    “Cough!… Sigh… I can finally see your eyes now.”

    Eunha spat out the cotton ball stuck in her throat and looked around with blurry eyes.

    smart…

    Blood pooling in the bathroom. Flesh and cotton balls floating on top of it.

    A drop of blood bounced up to the ceiling and dripped down, hitting her cheek.

    Eunha raised her right arm, worried about how to clean the bathroom.

    The original right arm, not the doll’s, is visible.

    As expected, [Red Woman] has good skills.

    The skin color of the regenerated arm was lighter around the forearm… but I didn’t care about the little details.

    Why is it that when you return from a trip to the sea in the summer, your skin is only white in the areas covered by your clothes? You can think of it as similar to that.

    ‘My legs are back… I’m good. I can go to work.’

    Teeingㅡ.

    at that time,

    Something that was on top of Eunha’s ship fell to the floor.

    The sound of metal hitting the bathroom floor.

    I felt the familiar handle of a jigsaw as I traced the place where the sound came from.

    Eunha lifted the jigsaw in her hand in front of her eyes and gaped.

    I have a lot to say, but it’s so heavy that I can’t get it out of my throat… so in the end, I just lick my lips and burst into laughter.

    “Huh… I left something precious behind.”

    She stood up, holding the [Red Woman] jigsaw carefully.

    Because I fell to the floor a few times due to lack of strength in my arms and legs, I even used my ‘body strength’ to hold on to the sink and stand up.

    The jigsaw in my hand makes my heart pound.

    『Kollock…』

    ‘Eunha’ was reflected in the mirror, spitting out the cotton ball stuck in her throat and glaring at her.

    There is no jigsaw in ‘Eunha’s hands.

    『Sloppy. Don’t stand in front of the mirror carelessly.』

    “Cough… I don’t like it?”

    Eunha, who also spit out a cotton ball, checks the mirror while listening to Eunha’s complaints.

    Fortunately, there are no major injuries to the face.

    The back of the head, where the iron skewer had pierced, is covered by hair, and the regenerated eyeball has only a slightly uneven pupil shape.

    It’s a trace that will disappear after a day or two.

    ‘The face is fine, and there are no scars on the limbs thanks to the new growth… I just need to cover the body with clothes.’

    I caressed the abdomen and chest that had been pierced by the [Red Woman].

    A bitter laugh escapes.

    It hurts but it’s okay.

    Scars disappear over time.

    No problem.

    Gently touching the jigsaw in my hand,

    It was at 10 am.

    … … .

    Shoot…

    Cleaning time follows.

    Put the flesh and cotton balls that clog the drain in a black plastic bag and store them outside.

    And the hunter-specific detergent kept in the bathroom… the expensive detergent made for hunters who are prone to getting covered in monster blood was poured on the floor as much as they wanted.

    If you don’t clean it quickly, the blood will harden and be difficult to wipe off.

    Every time I wiped away the blood stains, my newly grown limbs trembled like a newborn deer.

    『Cheer upㅡ.』

    “Ha… Hmm… Why aren’t you cleaning that area?”

    『If you clean the heojeop, this area will be clean too.』

    “It’s not fair.”

    I moved my weak limbs and diligently wiped away the blood.

    One hour… two hours…

    I finished cleaning only after the wall clock in the living room showed 1 PM.

    But there is no time to rest.

    Cleaning took longer than expected, so I had to get ready for work right away.

    Because I said I could go to work in the afternoon. I’m sorry for suddenly taking a vacation, but if I end up being late here, I won’t have the courage to see the people at the cafe.

    After taking a warm shower, Eunha took an old jigsaw and came out to the living room.

    “Wow, I’m busy, I’m busy.”

    I put the black plastic bag containing the flesh in the kitchen freezer and quickly run to the bedroom to get dressed.

    My body must have grown again, and my clothes are tight.

    Eunha, who had given up trying to wear jeans, changed into gym pants and put on a loose box tee over them… and placed the jigsaw she brought out from the bathroom on the bedside.

    As if storing precious items, with warmth.

    “Okay, if I take a taxi, I won’t be late.”

    After checking the time, Eunha took the [Black Book] that was placed in the living room.

    The suitcase he always carried with him broke in half when he died, so today I put it in a black plastic bag and took it with me, along with my umbrella.

    Shake!

    So I started going to work.

    Eunha opened the front door with force and went out.

    The cool smell of water during the rainy season dispels the bloody smell stuck to the bridge of your nose.

    “Wow, I have to clean up that thing in the hallway too… Let’s clean it up all at once after work! I’m sorry, my neighbors!”

    We pass by the suitcase and its contents that were cut off by the ‘skill’ of the young man at the blood donation house.

    busy.

    … … .

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

    Shoot…

    The pouring monsoon rain.

    Rainwater washing away the 1pm heat.

    “Whoa… whoo…! Taxi!”

    Eunha, who was leaving the ‘Saetstar Apartment’, spotted an approaching taxi and jumped.

    With the [Self-Healing] skill, her Cooper’s ligaments were virtually invincible, and as she jumped with confidence, a taxi stopped next to Eunha.

    A black taxi with the four letters “Safe Drive” written on it.

    The window was heavily tinted, so the driver could not be seen.

    Fortunately, I won’t be late for afternoon work.

    Thinking like that, Eunha folded her umbrella and got into the back seat of the taxi.

    Rattling.

    Eunha likes taxis on rainy days.

    This is because the discomfort level accumulated due to the humid weather is blown away with the cool air the moment you get into a taxi with the air conditioner turned on.

    It’s not worth the taxi fare… but whatever.

    ‘Phew… I can calm down now.’

    Eunha leaned back in the backseat and calmed her pounding heart.

    After finishing cleaning the bathroom, my heart has been racing non-stop and I lie down, finally getting some rest.

    Your heart rate stabilizes in a matter of seconds.

    “I will take you safely.”

    said the taxi driver.

    A strange voice of unknown gender.

    A familiar goosebump passes over the back of Eunha’s neck.

    The inside of the taxi was ordinary.

    A passenger car that can be found anywhere. In the rearview mirror, a tan beads bracelet swayed to the vibration of the engine, and in front of the passenger seat, ugly dolls were shaking their big heads back and forth.

    Navigation turned off, radio playing softly.

    The tension is relieved by the delicious sight.

    Eunha put down the plastic bag containing [The Black Book] on the seat next to her and scratched the back of her head.

    … … The scar from being pierced by an iron skewer is hollow. It hasn’t been filled yet.

    “Where are you going?”

    “Uh… So, the name of the cafe…”

    and,

    Eunha answered the destination with a smile on her face when asked by the taxi driver with his hat down.

    I turned my head to the side without thinking… but had to urgently close my mouth.

    『… … .』

    next to her,

    What you can see is the side window of the taxi.

    Windows tinted black.

    『… … ? What you looking at. 』

    ‘Eunha’ reflected in the window said.

    While wearing the rear seat belt.

    … … The fact that that shabby monster is moving,

    It means that there are no [blind people] around who are unaware of the existence of the [Black Book] or the strange things…

    “…….”

    Eunha’s gaze,

    I turned to the taxi driver sitting in the driver’s seat.

    『Where are you going?』

    Our eyes met.

    Hold the steering wheel with both hands,

    A taxi driver sitting facing the front,

    We made eye contact directly, not through the rear-view mirror.

    “……wait a minute.”

    Eunha, who had goosebumps all over her body, took out the [Black Book] from a black plastic bag.

    Along with the familiar smell of blood, a ‘bookmark’ that I once saw is stuck between the pages.

    Is it that I can’t even go to work normally anymore?

    Eunha opened the page marked with a ‘bookmark’.

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

    『Where are you going?』

    “……Straight.”

    『I will take you safely.』

    Boom…

    The driver, who was waiting for Eunha’s answer, started driving.

    The taxi departs smoothly, showing off its driving skills so comfortably that no shaking is felt in the back seat.

    Eunha fastened her seatbelt, her legs shaking. It was uncomfortable because my big breasts were in the way, but I had no time to worry about it.

    “……turn right.”

    Boom…

    Dolls shaking their big heads in front of the passenger seat look at the galaxy.

    The taxi driver buried his head back in the headrest of the driver’s seat, looked at Eunha with bloodshot eyes, and turned right as Eunha said.

    The eerie news heard on the radio shakes the spirit of the galaxy.

    Eunha looked straight ahead, trying not to make eye contact with the taxi driver. Since the driver cannot see, he has to give directions on his behalf.

    Knock. Just right. Knock. Just right.

    A jet black horse shown on the taxi meter gallops away.

    The fare is 0 won.

    Just spinning the wheel to no avail, 0 won.

    “……Straight.”

    A taxi stopped at a red light at an intersection moves forward.

    Maybe it’s because the windows are heavily tinted, but when you look outside, you see ordinary cars and pedestrians.

    People crossing the crosswalk with umbrellas.

    Cars pass by taxis without notice.

    How do other people view this taxi?

    Eunha suppressed a surge of nausea as she looked at the peaceful scenery outside the window.

    ‘Why me… No, let’s focus.’

    Make up your mind.

    Okay. It’s no big deal.

    Just give the taxi driver directions. It is safe as long as you do not mention your destination.

    The radio blaring in a quiet taxi.

    It brought news of someone’s death every time the galaxy gave direction.

    What on earth?

    Those who are already dead or those who will die in the future?

    Or, whether it was something that was happening now… I didn’t know.

    As the taxi got closer to the cafe, Eunha’s complexion worsened.

    “Straight.”

    “……s, turn left…”

    It’s like,

    It seems that someone’s death is determined by the galaxy’s choices…

    “Whoop!… Cough… From here, go straight.”

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

    5-2. Ignore the radio.

    – This has nothing to do with you.

    – Never mind.

    – Don’t let people know you’re listening to the radio.

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

    Although the rules clearly state that it is irrelevant,

    It couldn’t have been truly evil.

    Why do you drive a taxi with that radio on? I’ll just listen to trot.

    But it’s over now.

    The distance from Eunha’s ‘Morning Star Apartment’ to the cafe is 5 minutes by car, and you can get there by turning right at the intersection in front.

    ‘Don’t ever take a taxi again… No, taxi fares aren’t going up at all right now, so wouldn’t it be beneficial to get a taxi for free?’

    Eunha, who had been looking at the fare meter that showed 0 won since she left, stroked her chin.

    I thought positively.

    If you follow the rules well, wouldn’t it be a convenient means of transportation?

    As long as you ignore the radio, the ride is comfortable, and the taxi driver’s eyes are passionate.

    “…Turn right here and stop.”

    Just like that, Eunha, who thought that the strange taxi was surprisingly good, gave directions for the last time.

    The taxi driver drove the taxi gently, still looking at the galaxy.

    At first, I wondered what would happen, but it ended more smoothly than I expected.

    Checking the time, it’s 1:20 PM. We arrived at the cafe in time.

    Eunha prepared to get off the taxi and took the [Black Book] and umbrella.

    The radio broadcast a quiet death accident.

    Finally, the radio turns off.

    It has nothing to do with the galaxy,

    A story that can be ignored.

    … … Squeak…

    Just like that, the taxi stopped.

    Arrived at the cafe.

    『I brought you safely.』

    That’s just the story.
