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

“You sound like someone who separates waste.”

“It’s similar.”

“Probably not.”

The morning after the rainy season ended. Eunha enters the cafe, hugged by Ban Harin.

The first sound that hit her eardrums was none other than Kang Nari’s bloody question.

The youngest daughter of the [Cheongryong family] who borrowed money from a loan shark called [Heukbungpa] and lived like a beggar in a damp semi-basement.

Thanks to Eunha, whom she met by chance, she repaid her private loan and became an employee at a cafe… She is a woman who is strangely quiet and shows off a shady sense of self-esteem.

Eunha massaged the back of her neck, which suddenly felt stiff.

“I told you that I met your brother the other day… Wait a minute. Mr. Eunha? Why do you go to work hugged by Ban Harin?”

Kang Nari stops talking at Eunha’s unexpected way of going to work.

Ban Harin headed straight to the employee lounge and placed Eunha in his arms on the sofa.

The shaking legs, like a doll with broken strings, create tiny cracks in Ban Harin’s cold face.

Purung…

Eunha sat on the sofa.

Kang Na-ri, who was distracted by something that swayed gracefully at the slightest shock, put her waist-length hair in a hair net and came closer.

Perhaps he was in the middle of changing into his uniform, but in the wide open cabinet, old jeans and a sweater were showing their shabby appearance.

It’s the same clothes as when Eunha first met Kang Na-ri two months ago.

Is it a valuable item?

Kang Na-ri’s hair sticking out of the hair net is shining blue like a sapphire.

“According to Eunha’s remarks, she has difficulty moving her legs because she sprained her back last night. It was clear that even if I told him to rest at home, he wouldn’t listen, so I brought him to the cafe.”

“What?! Sister Eunha! Did you hurt your back?!”

Shake!

As soon as Ban Harin finished speaking, Eunbangul, who had been organizing items in the warehouse, hops over and sits down next to Eunha.

Place your hands on the large chest, slide down, pass the waist, and grab the pelvis.

The girl’s fingers poke her surprisingly firm thighs. However, Eunha, who had no feeling in her lower body, could only smile vaguely, and her pure white rabbit ears, which had been fluttering like antennas, fell down helplessly.

I lent my lower body to my downstairs neighbor in exchange for help, but I lost feeling below my waist… but I was worried because I kept going to work.

Eunha looked away from Eunbangul’s hand rubbing her thigh.

Then, to ease the girl’s worries, he slowly lifts the numb leg.

“How do you sleep like this? I did something strange to increase my muscle mass again! I tried to break Eunha’s back!”

“Sometimes I’m scared of bells.”

Is it because it wasn’t the first time that Eunha came back injured?

Or is it because I trust her [self-healing] skills?

Eunbangul massaged Eunha’s legs without any further fuss, even though her eyes were as black as tar with worry.

Although there is no feeling, the girl’s warmth comes through her skin.

‘… … ‘Is boss Eunbangul used to seeing Eunha get hurt?’

Kang Na-ri, who was watching the conversation between the two people from the side, clenched and unclenched her hands as a habit and rolled her eyes.

I thought there would be a little more fuss if it was a silver bell that was so attached to Eunha as if it couldn’t survive, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

“I really can’t survive… I’ll leave a chair at the checkout counter, so don’t move around today and just take orders. If that seems difficult, I’ll lock you in the break room, so behave yourself.”

“I will bring Eunha’s suitcase. I will leave it inside the checkout counter.”

The girl’s nagging continued.

Ban Ha-rin, who read the mood, quickly left the lounge, and Eun-ha, who was caught by Bang-ri, was gently slapped with bunny ears that stood up.

Clap clap…

Soft bunny ears. He squeezes out his worries and strokes Eunha’s cheek.

‘… … I have to pretend I’m not sick, so Jeongbul will worry less.’

I need to practice a little more.

Eunha thought that good things were good things, so she took off her box tee and changed into her uniform.

Kang Na-ri, startled by the sudden undressing, covers her mouth, not her eyes.

“Sigh… Yes, only people who worry are fools! Do you know what I see most in cafes?”

“Dust.”

slap!

Eunbangbul puffed out her cheeks in displeasure and pounded Eunha’s chest.

… … .

… … .

“… … Hey… Don’t you need to go to the hospital?”

“It’s okay because it will recover over time. And I hate hospitals.”

After a while. Eunbangul leaves after shaking off her nagging, leaving Kang Na-ri and Eunha alone in the lounge.

Eunha raised the corner of her mouth as she looked up at Nari Kang who was acting awkwardly next to her.

“By the way, what was the story about earlier? The first brother said he separated waste?”

“A few days ago, my eldest brother came to visit me. It was an old-fashioned invitation to have dinner together as a family for the first time in a long time. No matter how many times I reject him, he keeps coming, and if I leave him alone, he seems to come to the cafe too, so I went to dinner just yesterday.”

What is contained in the voice is a small resentment.

The way he grinds his teeth while talking about his family clearly reveals the deepening of his emotions.

This is difficult to understand for Eunha, who does not have a family.

“As I explained last time, our four siblings… no, three siblings became independent from the family as soon as they became adults. Without receiving any support, you start from the bottom and build a reputation worthy of your successor.”

“You said your eldest brother is the guild leader of a mid-sized guild, and your second sister is the youngest professor at [Euncheon Academy], right?”

“Wow…! I was touched that you remembered that.”

“It’s no big deal.”

“That’s right. It’s a story that every Korean knows, of course.”

“… … .”

Strangely spicy.

Eunha’s fresh eyes look at Kang Na-ri.

Be that as it may, Kang Na-ri naturally sits down next to Eunha and sighs.

The shoulders that were touching seemed to be shaking with worry.

“… What kind of person is your first brother?”

“He is good enough to become a B-level hunter in his 20s, but he has a nasty temper, has been stealing other people’s snacks, and is a bitch who often speeds even in front of an elementary school. He is the complete opposite of me, kind to everyone and expert in potion making.”

“Nari Kang doesn’t have a good personality either.”

“Haha… I have nothing to say.”

A faint laugh escapes.

There are also mutterings like, “Why was I born with this personality?”

“… … .”

Eunha scratched the back of her neck as she murmured and leaned her shoulder against Nari Kang.

Kang Na-ri, whose face is blushing, looks at Eunha, who is deliberately pressing her body against her, and purses her lips.

Fortunately, it worked.

Kang Na-ri’s shoulders stop shaking and give a small heartbeat.

“So, what does it mean that you want me?”

“This time, while we were having dinner together, he said something in passing. He wants to add Eunha to his guild.”

“… … ? Me?”

“According to the information I picked up, he is a hunter whom the Hunter Association values very much… So, I will also help you seduce Eunha. It’s funny, right?”

Eunha twitched the corner of her mouth at Kang Na-ri’s next words.

… … .

Hunter Association, a very caring hunter.

Could it be that that guy, that guy, found out about the [Galaxy Potion]?

If you think about it that way, the reason why he suddenly came to Kang Na-ri is also roughly explained.

To roughly guess the story, it feels like a rich boy found a tasty prey, and since the prey happened to be close friends with his idiot sister, he approached her.

Perhaps this is correct.

‘If you had something to do with me, why did you go to Na-ri Kang without telling me directly?’

Unpleasant.

The frustration that followed.

It doesn’t leave people alone.

Even though they are not doing anything and living quietly, they come to see them, commit violent acts, and then leave.

Eunha began to miss Director Go Young-in, who was somewhat moderate.

“When I was struggling with private loans, there wasn’t even a phone call…! Are they following people around, or are they reaching out to ask them to be like family even now… They look at people as very foolish.”

“I was a fool from the moment I took out private loans without thinking.”

“Eunha. In times like this, just sympathize.”

“Oh my…”

Eunha sympathized with Kang Na-ri’s anger and massaged her thighs.

In the end, the job is the same.

Just reject those who are rude and be kind to those who are kind.

Also, wouldn’t Kang Nari’s older brother be classified as someone to be kicked out?

“Of course, since this is my family’s problem, I will see to it that it ends on my own. However, I feel like I need to explain the situation to the people at the cafe… I’m sorry for bringing up an unnecessary problem.”

“Let me know if you need it. I will help you as much as I can.”

“… Because Eunha is a benefactor. I will definitely protect you.”

Kang Na-ri, who had been frozen all along, finally smiles.

As Kang Na-ri smiles, Eunha’s smile deepens.

I thought positively.

Still, he is the person who leads a guild. At the very least, you should be able to discern between interests and interests.

No matter what happens, there are people to ask for help, such as Ban Harin or General Manager Ko Young-in, and there is also a [black book] to read if something goes wrong.

There are many ways to solve it.

“Be careful. There are also rumors that they hire villains and act like gangsters.”

“If there is so much I want to say, the story will never end?”

“I put up with it to solve it on my own!”

Eunha notices the disturbing movement surrounding Kang Na-ri and the cafe.

She slowly got up from her seat and left the lounge.

Now that we’ve finished talking, it’s time to get to work.

… … .

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

“Cafe Latte Sister! You are sitting on a chair today! A package of caramel mocha!”

“Okay, just a moment.”

After that, it was a normal day.

Sitting on a fairly tall chair, taking orders from customers and helping them make payments.

This is a task that can be easily done while sitting still.

“You changed the store sign too? ‘Rabbit Latte’, it suits you perfectly!”

I chat with a female customer wearing an academy uniform and wait for my drink to be ready.

After the rainy season ended, the number of people at the cafe was gradually increasing.

It’s a small cafe that doesn’t hold any events, but according to Ban Harin, the face sign is so great that there’s no shortage of customers.

‘Our bellies are cute.’

Saga-gak…

As I opened my heart with inexplicable pride, a new customer came in.

Eunha said the order to Kang Na-ri without hesitation.

“Yes?… That many sugar cubes? Even bugs won’t eat like that…”

Caramel macchiato with Kang Na-ri’s quiet complaints.

When Eunha handed over the drink, the customer waiting in front of the counter bowed gracefully, picked up the drink, and walked out.

Eunha loved ordering take-out.

This is because there is less food waste to dispose of and fewer dishes to wash.

With a lazy smile, I waited for the next customer.

Trap… plod…

A guest who has a slightly uncomfortable gait.

I don’t know your face. It’s hard to remember, perhaps because there are so many customers.

However, he is giving off a very happy atmosphere, like a person who has obtained something he has wanted for a long time.

Eunha, who was in a good mood, asked Nari Kang for a warm cafe latte.

“I hope so, Eunha… I want to sit down and work too…”

“Where does a newcomer even think about sitting? If there is a successor, please sit down then.”

Academy students sitting at the table and doing homework.

Office workers taking a short break.

A few cats wander around the entrance of the cafe, scratch at the door and run away.

The sound of chatting, resembling the scent of coffee, permeates calmly.

‘Good… Of course, the cafe is the best.’

Eunha massaged her thighs and sighed happily.

A cafe where there are a lot of people who don’t know ‘that’ and where strange people don’t visit, comes to her as a great sanctuary.

A peaceful daily life, not a sweet and bloody apartment life with monsters.

In that way, Eunha made a promise to keep the peace here… ruminating again on a decision she had already made several times.

I hoped that the day would pass without any problems today.

… … .

… … .

Buuuung…!

However, did you say that the day you go is market day?

A sports car with a loud engine noise stops in front of the cafe.

A vehicle that focuses on speed and style rather than efficiency.

Customers sitting in the cafe look back at the sports car in amazement at how much tuning it has been done.

“What is it! Park a shit car like that at the entrance to someone else’s cafe! I think I’m going to explode it.”

“… … !”

“… … .”

Eunbangul, who was combing the pure white rabbit ears, vents her dissatisfaction.

Nari Kang, who was bringing in new whipped cream from the warehouse, shrugs her shoulders in shock.

And… Eunha, who was cleaning the area around the counter with a wet tissue with a languid smile, lowers the corners of her mouth.

(It’s a hit and run! That bastard didn’t even apply the brakes!!)

(Ji Park-ryeong, come to your senses! What are you doing? Bring the potion quickly!)

A bright red sports car.

I also memorized the license plate number.

The asphalt was cold, and the blood on it was lukewarm enough to give me goosebumps.

Buzz…

The pain engraved in her mind comes back to life, and the pain of hitting the back of her head with a hammer grips Eunha.

“… … I’m having trouble with my legs, so I’m glad I did.”

A quiet murmur filled with resentment.

Eunha’s eyes caught the face of a young man with impressive blue hair like Kang Na-ri, who had just entered the cafe.

“Hwiyu~. Awesome.”

“Brother…”

“The cafe has a really nice atmosphere… A cafe latte. Except coffee.”

It’s a morning where old grudges calm the peaceful cafe atmosphere.
