“Somehow I saved it.”

The morning sunlight comes through the dark clouds.

Eunha smiled complicatedly after finishing her phone call with General Manager Ko Young-in.

Purung…

Lie down comfortably on the soft bed and toss and turn.

It’s refreshing. However, a subtle feeling of uneasiness mixed in, pulling the corners of Eunha’s mouth downward. It may be because of the phone call with Go Young-in, who forgot something important along with ‘that’.

(The truth is, I didn’t have a single close friend, either at the academy or at the association. That’s why I always envied my friendship.)

No regrets.

A little bit of regret just exhales cold breath.

She smoothed the corners of her mouth and raised her upper body, hugging her large breasts.

“Think positively. I saved one person.”

When the thick blanket is removed, a clean naked body without a single thread is revealed.

Skin without any scars thanks to the [Self-Healing] skill. The warm sunlight falls like a feather and drives away drowsiness.

Compared to just a few months ago, it’s shocking… but it’s strangely comfortable.

Eunha looked down at her body and let out a lukewarm sigh.

“Hmm… I can’t feel anything down there.”

The weather is clear.

The sun shining after the rainy season has ended.

Today was a morning where I was massaging my motionless lower body.

… … .

July is the season of heaven and earth.

This means that the lower part of the body is paralyzed and the future is bleak.

(If you help me, I’ll lend you my lower body.)

The words I uttered without much thought to ask for help from the veranda monster.

But ‘those’ also seem to dislike blank checks. Because as soon as the work was done, he took his share.

‘I can’t say anything because the work is done neatly… It’s okay. No problem. It’s cheap compared to the price of a human life.’

Eunha massaged her soft thighs and looked down at her waist.

When I looked at my side, avoiding the large breasts blocking my view, the skin on my lower body, bordering my waist, was strangely light in color.

As if a new body part had been regenerated…

“In the end, it was ripped off. Well, how uncomfortable must it have been to crawl around with both arms all this time.”

Did it get ripped off while I was sleeping at night?

Like picking fruit from a tree and eating it?

He is a very gentlemanly neighbor as he only took the lower half of the sleeping person without waking them up.

Eunha moved her numb legs and prepared to get out of bed.

I had no idea it would turn out like this, but I expected it to happen.

It’s much better than getting your back torn apart while you’re still in your right mind.

Sensation in the lower body will also recover with the [Self-Recovery] skill over time, so if you pay attention to it for a few days, you will be able to get through it without any problems.

‘Oh oh. I just can’t feel it, but I can move. ‘I can go to work at this level.’

It works somehow.

This is no big deal to Eunha, who has attempted the promotion exam over 30 times and is a useless and persevering person.

Thinking positively, Eunha hummed a familiar children’s song and started getting ready for work.

Purung!

After rolling to the side and falling off the bed, I grabbed panties, a box tee, and cotton pants from the closet and crawled into the living room.

If you crawl on the floor normally, your large chest gets in the way, so you turn to the side and move as if you are pulling the floor with your elbows.

Because I had no strength in my legs, it was not easy to get dressed, and every little detail of daily life was more uncomfortable than necessary.

Has the veranda monster always felt like this…

Eunha headed to the entrance, feeling anew grateful for her [Self-Healing] skill.

My red elbow hurts from being swept on the floor. Pick up the shoes left at the entrance and put them on your feet as if you were assembling a toy.

‘Shower later. Let’s just go to work right away. Should I take a taxi?’

shaking…

I struggle to stand up with numb legs.

Bend your knees, step on the soles of your feet, and raise your body against the wall. It feels like manually moving each and every unconscious action.

For your information, there was no option to take a break from the cafe.

It was just a little difficult, but it wasn’t completely impossible to move around, and thanks to [self-recovery], my condition is gradually returning.

Like when I played with [Doll Girl] all night long, I want to stop notifying her that she won’t be able to go to work that morning.

Craddangtang!

How many times did you fall like that?

Without giving up, Eunha got up and walked out the front door using the carrier containing the [Black Book] as a cane.

“Okay, let’s go. By the afternoon, you will be able to walk around.”

My legs hurt, but I’m okay.

Somehow I can walk, and it’s more fun than I thought.

It’s a ridiculously light inconvenience compared to the cost of saving someone’s life.

Eunha smiled happily as she recalled Go Young-in’s refreshing voice.

… … .

『You’re out of your mind today too.』

And right after leaving the house.

Eunha was slowly taking steps, shedding a cold sweat, but someone stopped her in front of her.

Sagagakㅡ.

The sound of insect footsteps.

The sound of insects tickling your eardrums.

“… … Your lips are so bewitching.”

『The desire to help someone is beautiful. It’s foolish at the same time.』

“I hear that often.”

A girl wearing a pitch black gothic dress and covering her eyes with a black lace parasol.

[Bug Princess] licked her lips seductively and walked down the apartment hallway with an elegant gesture.

Drurr…

[Bug Princess] approached me, dragging a cart with a security sticker on it, and asked patronizingly.

『I’m just about to bring it to the security office. Do you want to ride?』

The timing seemed to be waiting for Eunha to come out in the apartment hallway.

Just when I was about to bring the truck to the security office…

Eunha burst out laughing at the liar princess’s mischievous prank without even realizing it.

… … .

… … .

Drurr…

“Is Fly still sleeping?”

『As I have said many times, children should go to bed early and wake up late. Do you know how hard it was for ‘Fly’ to fall asleep while holding on to Yeo’s finger and to escape?』

“Wow. It must have been cute. Did you take a picture?”

『If you’re curious, come to Yeo’s house. ‘Fly’ needs to be fed.』

“What does it have to do with me going and giving you food… No, hands off. Even if I do that, it won’t come out.”

A playful girl as always.

The sound of insect footsteps filled with joy comes from ‘that’ skirt.

A sound with rhythm.

The sound of grasshoppers bringing back sad memories.

Eunha sat on the carriage brought by [Bug Princess] and massaged her numb lower body.

Even with the morning sunlight coming through the hallway window, the interior of the apartment was dark, and the eerie feeling that tickled my skin made me shrug my shoulders.

Nevertheless, I sit comfortably in the pull car and quietly let myself be led by [Bug Princess].

Tiing ㅡ.

I got on the elevator.

Eunha was left alone with [Bug Princess] in the elevator going down to the first floor.

Couldn’t this be an opportunity to let down one’s guard?

She, who was sitting in the drag truck, lifted her head to look inside ‘that’ parasol.

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

# caution! Do not intentionally make eye contact with the young lady or lift the width of her skirt.

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

Coo!

Eunha, whose eye was stabbed by the tip of a parasol, struggles in pain as her vision flashes.

“Kaaa…”

“Isn’t it time to give up?”

“I suddenly wake up…!”

“her…”

[Bug Princess] looked down at Eunha, who was clutching one eye, and wiped the blood off her parasol.

Even though the distance is closer than before, what we do to each other is the same.

A sweet and murderous voice filled with a bit of patheticness and affection… knocked on the top of Eunha’s head.

『It’s definitely written in the guide. I don’t know why you don’t give up even though you know you’ll get hurt.』

“I’ve got a feeling… And, I want to meet [Bug Princess] at least once.”

The eye that was stabbed by the parasol recovers.

Eunha blinked her gloomy eyes as she leisurely rode down the elevator.

『Face to face with Yeo (余)? Are you trying to make fun of me?』

“I thought the eyes were pretty too.”

『… … Huh, indeed.』

[Bug Princess] snorted as if she was dumbfounded by Eunha’s honest answer.

The girl pondered Eunha’s words just a little… and then,

He bent his parasol forward and covered his face.

『Huh… well… even if you say that, it won’t show.』

Saga-gak…

The heartbreaking sound of insects passes by my cheek.

Tiing ㅡ.

The elevator arrived at the first floor.

As soon as the door opened, [Bug Princess] grabbed the handle of the cart and came out.

Eunha sits in a rickety drag truck and looks at a girl with a subtle aura.

The sight of the back holding a parasol tickles people’s hearts for no reason.

『Don’t you regret it?』

“What is it?”

『The bridge. From the looks of it, you will be crippled for a few days.』

A question that came to me in passing.

Eunha sits in the carriage and massages her thighs.

Thanks to [self-recovery], I am gradually regaining my senses, but it is still difficult to walk. As ‘that’ says, I won’t be able to walk properly for a few days.

Nevertheless, Eunha raised the corners of her mouth with a positive attitude.

(I’m embarrassed to say this, I couldn’t be in better shape than this.)

(『…Okay. I’ll help you.』)

It wasn’t a perfect result, but it saved Go Young-in from being tormented by ‘that’.

And… he lent his lower body to the veranda monster who had no lower body.

An ending that satisfies everyone except Eunha.

And since everyone else was satisfied… Eunha was also satisfied with the ending.

An ending that leaves everyone satisfied.

“It gets better with time anyway. Don’t pretend to be serious for no reason.”

Therefore, Eunha answered casually.

I was able to look up at the back of [Bug Princess] with her usual smiling face.

Sagagak…

The sound of insect footsteps coming from inside the skirt creates a certain rhythm.

『Is that so…』

Grumbling…

The puller left the apartment.

I walk through the cluttered parking lot and get closer to the front door of the apartment.

An elderly security guard, who was sitting at the desk in the security office brushing a clay doll, bursts out into a refreshing laugh when he spots Eunha being loaded onto a cart.

『I’ll take you to the entrance. After that, you can go on your own.』

“Thank you for the morning… Shall I buy some insect jelly when I get off work?”

『The people will like it.』

Pass the security office. Three steps to the front door.

[Bug Princess] twirled the parasol in one hand and muttered.

『Fly wants to see you. Come and see my face often.』

“I’ll go when I have time. I’ve been so busy these days that I’m out of my mind.”

『… … And, I don’t know if it’s because of the guilt of not being able to completely save that tiny object, but sacrifice is not the right thing to do. It’s just an unavoidable choice.』

“Yes?”

『I like your smiling face. Don’t forget.』

Grumble!

After saying meaningful words, [Bug Princess] pushed the cart towards the front door with all her might.

Eunha, startled by the sudden movement, lowers her body and grabs the carrier.

There is a road in front of the main gate.

If the cart slips like this, a very difficult situation will arise for Eunha, who cannot control her lower body.

What suddenly comes to mind is the memory of being hit and run by a bright red sports car.

Since you can’t harm him according to the rules in the guidebook, are you planning to kill him by hitting him with a car?

Eunha’s body stiffened from the trauma of someday.

“This crazy bug bird…!”

“Eunha!”

And, the moment the tow truck passed the main gate, slipping on the ice, and was about to enter the road.

Ban Harin, who appeared like a ghost, immediately ran to Eunha and grabbed hold of the pull car.

Shake!

The pull truck stops moving. readily.

Eunha looked up at the cafe regular who appeared like a prince on a white horse.

“… … Mr. Ban Harin?”

“Why are you driving such a dangerous car? Did you hurt your leg?”

Ban Harin, who ‘observed’ Eunha sitting helplessly in the pull car, hugged her without hesitation.

There is a worry that cannot be hidden in the cold voice.

“What’s going on? Yesterday, I ‘accidentally’ found myself meeting with the head of the Hunter Association, Go Young-in, but I couldn’t believe I was harmed by that guy…”

“… … .”

In an instant, Eunha, who was held in her arms like a princess, looked back at ‘Saetbyeol Apartment’.

To find the sound of insects in the grass that I heard just a moment ago.

“… … .”

However, when I looked back, the apartment was quiet, with no signs of presence, and Eunha was pushed away.

An apartment with the lights off, a dusty security room… a shabby ‘9th floor’ apartment.

The muggy heat of July touches my cheek.

The morning sunlight shining through the clouds rests on the galaxy’s large chest.

“… … Just, I woke up in the morning and my legs felt weak. It looks like he sprained his back in his sleep.”

“So, were you going to work by car? Today again, I was impressed by Eunha’s eccentricity. Seeing him sticking out this far in this state, it looks like he has the intention of going to work at the cafe somehow.”

From the apartment, outside.

However, there are people who readily come forward and help.

Is it because I lived my life smiling like an idiot?

… No, it’s simply because of their warm hearts.

Eunha thought so.

‘But I like good luck with people… I can live with a more smile.’

Eunha looked up at the shabby apartment.

She hugged Ban Harin’s neck with a languid smile.

My lower body, which has no feeling, feels lighter today.

“It’s heavy. How come fat only gets in the ugly parts?”

“Shut up. Give me a ride to the cafe.”

“I will also bring a wheelchair.”

[Bug Princess] and Banharin.

Monsters and people.

Either way, they are liars who make people suffer…

Still, they are good people who are fun to be with.

Eunha was comfortably hugged by Ban Harin like a princess.

(『……Miss, what is your goal in life?』 )

One day, I heard a story at a convenience store that sold happiness.

Because it stuck like a thorn in Eunha’s heart and brought stinging agony.

(『If there is no goal, people will not change.』)

(『It might be better to leave to find happiness.』)

Director Koh Young-in, who helped us this time,

She thought of the veranda monster who snatched someone’s lower body.

Like a sand castle made by a child, it is easy to get swept away and collapse.

Make a resolution in your mind.

‘I want to help others… in a way that only I can.’

People and monsters.

And… the galaxy too.

A happy ending for everyone.

“But what did you meet with Director Go Young-in for? He is not a trustworthy person because he just signs documents without any motivation.”

“I ate it with my friend this time.”

“Did you receive the money?”

“You did receive it, right?”

So, with a little change in mind.

Eunha was held in the arms of Ban Harin, who even managed to pack her suitcase, and headed to her car parked on the shoulder of the road.

… … .

… … .

『Be careful.』

Drurrrpp

The girl who was watching Eunha leave drove the car and went back to the apartment.

Like a parasol spinning with joy, a light breeze blows through the quiet parking lot.

It’s a morning thing.

… … .

… … .

… … .

Meanwhile, some time passes.

Eunha enters the cafe, hugged by Ban Harin.

“Eunha… My eldest brother wants Eunha. How do I handle it?”

She was sitting in the employee lounge massaging her thighs.

She approached with a timid gesture and massaged the back of her neck when Kang Na-ri asked her how to soak her own brother.

There’s already someone who needs help.
