episode_0171

A gloomy little boy who spends wasted time staring blankly at the sky.

That’s how Kang Kang-han evaluated his youngest sister, Kang Na-ri.

People are more interested in cicada shells on the floor than in the dragonfly that lands on their fingers.

He crushed some weeds he had picked up near the playground with a rock and handed them to him, saying they were medicine…

Strange little brother.

When I was young, I was a tomboy from a wealthy family who begged my parents for expensive luxury goods, but after my eldest older brother got into an accident at the [Crack Ground], I became less talkative, and by the time I reached the age of high school, I was a timid idiot with no friends.

At least I became friends with a woman who worked as a bodyguard.

However, that bodyguard died in a car accident not long after Kang Nari became independent from the family… so it would not be strange to say that he is now a complete loner.

There is no one to rely on and no talent.

All I have is an old sweater I brought from home and a skill called [Ingredient Replacement].

It is a skill that replaces the components of an object held in one’s hand… It is a skill that interferes with space, even if only conditionally, so it attracted a lot of attention in [Blue Dragon Family].

As foolish Kang Na-ri confessed that the skill only applies to ‘inanimate objects that can be held in one’s hand,’ the spark of interest died down in an instant.

If her [Ingredient Replacement] was activated on all inanimate creatures… maybe the Hunter Association would have designated her as a ‘rare hunter’ and made a fuss about it.

‘What can happen? ‘I only have so much talent.’

Kang Je-han was happy.

Because my youngest brother is a nerd and a loner.

I fearlessly borrowed private loans and lost money, and I hoped that I would disappear from the world as a loner.

… … But, no.

A strange relationship.

It is a calculation that Kang Do-han cannot understand.

A helping hand fell from the sky and was trying to pull Kang Nari up from the dark semi-basement.

‘I never would have guessed that my younger brother made the [Galaxy Potion], which has been discontinued, himself and was planning to sell it to the head of the Hunter Association… It was a good idea to have people in the association.’

Boo wow!!

A little heart running through the morning in Euncheon-gu.

Kang Je-han stepped on the accelerator pedal and distorted his handsome face.

The bright red sports car emits a loud engine sound as if it represents his heart.

… … .

I don’t know the process.

How debt collector Kang Na-ri was able to create the [Galaxy Potion] and how she came into contact with the head of the Hunter Association.

But it doesn’t matter.

The transaction hasn’t started yet, and Kang Na-ri is still a debt collector stuck in a semi-basement house.

Wouldn’t it be okay if someone more capable wrote it for you?

Moreover, in Euncheon-gu, there have been a series of disappearances of unknown origin recently.

There won’t be a big uproar if one debtor disappears.

‘They said the kidnapping ended at dawn, so they must be ‘working’ in their hideout by now. ‘I hope my little brother can give me the potion recipe quickly.’

That is the reason for ordering the kidnapping of Nari Kang,

This is why he came to Euncheon-gu early in the morning with his horse in tow.

Galaxy Potion.

Potion dispenser Nari Kang.

And… a ‘rare hunter’ with recovery skills.

Is it a coincidence that they are gathered in one place?

Kang Je-han, who came up with an interesting hypothesis, raised the corners of his mouth.

Squeak…

How far did I run through Euncheon-gu under the July sun?

The sports car that was slowly slowing down came to a halt.

The voice ending the navigation guide is heard soon after.

Kang Je-han, wearing a rider uniform with the [Red Dragon Guild] mark on it, gets up from the driver’s seat and gets out.

What you see when you look up,

A small cafe named ‘Rabbit Latte’.

Today again, he parks his sports car close to the cafe entrance and enters the cafe at a leisurely pace.

Dangling~♪

“Rabbit Boss! Why are you working alone today? What about Cafe Latte?”

“I had to run some errands so I went out! What would you like to order?”

“Please recommend it to the boss~!”

I stepped into a cafe with a faint scent of coffee.

A customer who had been visiting since the morning placed a take-out order, and a bunny girl standing on a children’s step stool was making payment, pricking her white rabbit ears.

A quiet cafe with no customers.

Is this how business can be done?

Kang Je-han burst into laughter and walked trotting to the checkout counter.

He slightly unzips his rider uniform so that the symbol of the [Red Dragon Guild] can be clearly seen and smiles kindly.

“Hello, are you the owner of the cafe? This is Nari oppa.”

“This guy is here again! Get your car out of the entrance!”

“Didn’t Nari go to work today?”

Cafe owner Eunbangul smiled brightly, pointing to the bright red sports car blocking the entrance to the cafe.

Kang Je-han lightly ignores the girl’s words and takes a step forward, activating the mana in his body.

According to the information, the girl in front of me is an ordinary person who has not even learned any skills.

As a B-class hunter, even if he generates just a little mana, he will get scared and cower.

“Well… I don’t know how to tell you… My sister ran away to the countryside because she didn’t want to pay back the money.”

“… … Nari ran away?”

“Please tell me, your older brother, for you. Even though we’re family, it’s really difficult.”

Yes, the debtor ran away.

Kang Nari’s story will no longer be heard.

An accident that can happen if you are in debt.

Kang Kang-Han scratched his head as if he was really in trouble, and his eyes scanned the cafe with no customers.

Is there only one boss today?

He continued speaking, regretting that there was no ‘rare hunter’ Eunha here.

“You paid Na-ri’s debt on my behalf, but I feel sorry for this so I don’t know what to say…”

“… … .”

“Oh, how about doing it like this? I will return the money you lent me. Still, the right thing to do is for the family to take responsibility.”

Palakㅡ.

Kang Je-han made a truly sorry expression and took out a check from his wallet.

A check with an amount that is enough to easily take over not only Kang Na-ri’s debt but also a small cafe like this.

Eunbangul, who accepted it with her short hand, perked up her rabbit ears.

… … .

The eldest son of the [Blue Dragon Family], the guild leader of the [Red Dragon Guild], which is still only a small or medium-sized guild.

Kang Je-Han’s goals are as follows.

To completely bury the youngest sister, Kang Na-ri.

In addition, he discovered the production method of the [Galaxy Potion] and made it the exclusive property of the [Red Dragon Guild].

And… having a galaxy that is a ‘rare hunter’.

Therefore, I took the risk of being suspected and came to the cafe.

‘The fact that So Ah-ryeong failed in scouting probably means that she is not a woman driven by money… So she targets people around her first.’

Build simple likeability.

However, there are few things that are as easy to work as recommendations through acquaintances.

For some reason, the rabbit owner was the only one in the cafe, but Kang Do-han smiled kindly at the thought that things were going well.

Kang Na-ri’s side is going well.

They’ve already successfully kidnapped someone, and by now, they’re probably talking about how to make potions in an abandoned building deep in the mountains.

After getting all the information he wanted, he said that he could do whatever he wanted with Kang Na-ri… so those thugs must have opened their mouths somehow.

‘So, little brother… It should have been somewhat annoying to the eyes, why do you keep climbing up from the ground and making a fuss?’

Anyway, now is the time to impress the girl in front of me.

Kang Yo-han, who hides his dark inner thoughts, plays a good person with a charming smile.

“I was really surprised when I heard the boss’s story. A person who pays off strangers’ debts… He may be reckless, but he is a really good person.”

“… … .”

“I am truly sorry to have to return the kindness you showed me with a good heart… in this way. I apologize on behalf of my younger brother.”

And, silver bells.

The girl was quietly looking down at the amount written on the check, her white rabbit ears perking up.

“… … I said it before. Please do not park your car at the entrance of the cafe.”

He threw the check that Kang Je-han handed him onto the counter and just looked up at Kang Je-han with pitch-black eyes.

The pure white rabbit ears twitch leisurely.

Jet black eyes with no focus.

The eerie feeling of looking into the dark depths of the sea pulls Kang Do-han’s hair.

It’s not the look that looks at a person.

He senses something strange and takes a step back.

‘… … what? This rabbit… Come to think of it, he doesn’t seem scared at all even though I’m draining mana.’

Are you an ordinary person with no skills?

Kang Je-han picks up the check the girl threw on the counter and slowly calms his expression.

Discomfort.

I’m sure the plan will go smoothly.

The continuing feeling of discomfort pulls his hair.

He quietly averted his gaze from the rabbit girl in front of him.

… … Beep!

Immediately after, his cell phone emitted an urgent ringtone and burst into flames.

Beep beep! Beep beep!

It’s not the phone you use every day, but the phone you use to contact those who ‘clean up after you’.

It seems like the guys who kidnapped Kang Na-ri got all the information they wanted.

‘good. Now, how can I just bring in the ‘rare hunters’?’

okay. What is the feeling of discomfort?

Everything goes smoothly.

It will continue to be so.

“… … I’ll take a call for a moment.”

If he doesn’t answer the phone, he might be suspected, so after asking the rabbit girl’s understanding…

I answered the phone with the volume turned down to the lowest level in case I was overheard.

How to make [Galaxy Potion].

To hear that good news.

“Yes, the Red Dragon Guild forced me…”

ㅡPlease save me!! Please save me!!!

But why?

What I heard on the other end of the phone was not a pleasant laugh,

It was someone’s cry for help.

… … .

Sagagagakㅡ.

The sound of insects crawling on the floor.

The quiet sound of insects in the grass.

cheep.

But it’s not one.

‘Something’ that clumps together and forms a single mass scratches Kang Do-han’s eardrums, echoing the sound of Sagak’s footsteps.

He stands far away from Eunbangul and holds the phone with both hands.

“… … What are you talking about. Say it right.”

-Suddenly in the sky…! The witch…!

Let’s go!

A man’s desperate voice.

However, before he can finish his sentence, he is drowned out by the sound of numerous footsteps and disappears.

A distant scream disturbs Kang Do-han’s mind.

Are you a witch?

What is the loud noise of insects, and what is the sound of a witch?

Kang Yo-han, who was holding the phone, trembled with one leg.

I tried to shake off the anxiety in my heart.

Kang Na-ri was kidnapped. successfully.

I took him to the hideout without being noticed by others.

It was smooth.

It certainly was.

Kang Ja-han could not understand the current situation.

ㅡ Kkkk.

Sagagakㅡ.

The sound of insect footsteps.

The sound of people screaming.

The sound of small creatures tearing and eating something.

ㅡㅡㅡ♪ ㅡㅡ♬

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ♩ ㅡㅡ♪ ㅡㅡㅡ♪

The sound of a flute that conveys sadness… as it passes by.

Unharmonized sounds mix together to form an unpleasant harmony.

It was a concert.

A terrible and strange concert of bugs.

Pirorongㅡ.

Soon, the sound of numerous insects’ footsteps fills the phone, and the call suddenly hangs up.

An eerie silence. I sweep down my swollen arms.

“… … .”

I looked down at my phone helplessly.

A rabbit girl with a strange atmosphere, a ‘rare hunter’ who disappeared, and a ‘disaster’ on the other side of the phone…

Everything is strange.

‘What the hell… is going on? What is this cafe doing??

can not understand. But we have to do it somehow.

You can’t miss out on all the fish you caught.

Kang Yo-han hurriedly prepared to leave the cafe.

“… … Something urgent comes up, so I’ll go first. I’ll leave the check here, so please write whatever you want.”

“Go quickly! You don’t even need a check, so take it!”

The rabbit girl’s cute greeting touches his back.

Chewing his lips, Kang Je-han takes a brisk walk and leaves ‘Rabbit Latte’ with the refreshing sound of the doorbell.

… … Upright!

As he was leaving the cafe… someone with pure white rabbit ears passed by Kang Yo-han and entered the cafe.

I didn’t have time to worry about that.

‘What about Kang Nari? What about [Galaxy Potion]? How is it going?… Is this really an attack? So quickly? Then, is that sound just the attacker’s skill?’

Buaaang!

I got into the sports car parked at the entrance of the cafe and stepped on the accelerator pedal.

A bright red sports car leaves Euncheon-gu in an instant, ignoring the traffic lights.

The target is a hideout for ‘clean-up’ guys.

If you drive as far as you can go and run straight up the mountain road, you should be able to get there in an hour or two.

‘Why do you keep creating obstacles in my life…’

What comes to mind is the face of my stupid youngest brother.

The image of an older brother worrying about his younger sister that Kang Do-han showed at the cafe was everywhere… He stepped on the accelerator pedal with a face consumed by passion.

‘You have to trample on it. certainly. Don’t let it stick its head in again…’

Obstacles must be removed.

Performance must be filled.

Otherwise, like my first brother…

Just like his older brother who was eaten by a monster and returned with only his left hand, he will be abandoned by his father and quietly forgotten.

“I have to go quickly and check the situation… Hmm?”

And, it was then.

Buaaang!

Kang Do-han, who drove a sports car without any hesitation,

As I rolled my eyes in confusion… I discovered something.

‘What is that? picture?’

A photo attached to the wiper.

There is even tape attached to prevent it from falling off.

I left Euncheon-gu, took the national highway, and entered the mountain path.

Kang Yo-han glanced at the photo attached to the wiper.

[…] … .]

A square object.

Equipped with a numeric keypad and a digital clock,

To put it bluntly… it’s a photo of an object that looks like a bomb.

It fits tightly into the wiper of a sports car.

“… … .”

[…] … Beep.]

The bomb in the photo lit up.

… … .

… … .

(Is this guy here again? Quickly get the car out of the cafe entrance! I’m going to blow it up!)

(Hahaha, the rabbit boss is always lively.)

… … Kwaaaa!!

Just like that, Kang Do-han used his ‘skill’ to feel the fear running down his back,

Consciousness was cut off by an explosion coming from close range.
