“Choke… Wow, I’m out of breath.”

Sagagakㅡ.

​

The performance that seemed like it would last forever has come to an end.

The sound of insects leaving.

A July morning where sorrow has disappeared.

Eunha looked around the abandoned building after a period of commotion and let out a deep sigh.

‘I did it once… but what should I do now?’

Somehow, Han Dal-eum came running and saved Kang Na-ri,

Now that we’ve cleared out the guys who kidnapped her…

It’s time to clean up the case.

A sigh comes out naturally at the overwhelming despair.

Isn’t this what it feels like when you look at the dishes piled up in the sink after dinner?

As I straighten my blood-stained cafe uniform, I imagine something trivial.

“Eunha. It’s okay for me, who was in the position of a kidnapped princess, to say something like this, but I still have to say something… Are you okay? You need to call 119 quickly…”

“I’m fine. And Mr. Banharin has already requested help from the association, so it will come on its own soon.”

​

​

Eunha, who was adjusting the flute tucked into her cleavage, leaned against the back of her chair.

He was licking his lips as he looked down at the blood-covered cafe uniform, as if he was contemplating what to do next.

​

​

The soft atmosphere shown by the woman who was controlling a swarm of scary insects.

Nari Kang burst out laughing and got up from the chair.

“… … .”

She massaged her wrists that had been freed from their bonds and quietly listened.

While looking at the abandoned building full of holes like bug-eaten fruit with frightened eyes, he approaches the woman who created this tragedy without hesitation.

As she looked around at the bloody Eunha, she frowned.

“No, what is this person… I even saw him coughing up blood right in front of me, so why are there no injuries? Only a scar remains on my thigh where I was stabbed with a dagger earlier… Did you take the ‘Galaxy Potion’?”

“Um… Yes. Right, well.”

Eunha appropriately responds to Kang Na-ri’s question about whether she took the potion.

Nari Kang bursts into laughter at her nonchalant response and looks around the quiet abandoned building.

“Still, it is true that bleeding occurred, so Eunha, please do not move from the chair. I will clean up the surroundings myself.”

“Wouldn’t it be helpful to just wait for people?”

“I want to do something.”

Until Banharin and the Association arrived,

I want to do something.

Kang Nari walked slowly, leaving Eunha sitting helplessly in a chair behind.

… … .

… … .

The muggy wind brings awkward silence to the shabby abandoned building.

A building as bare as an apple eaten by bugs.

This place, which was used as a villa by someone, is reminiscent of a huge tombstone.

“Ugh……! Turn it off…!”

“… … .”

​

Na-ri Kang listened intently to the slight moan coming from somewhere, and slowly moved her legs away from Eun-ha.

A little far away from the place where he was tied up.

In what was supposed to be the guest bedroom, a voice so small that it could easily die out was coming from there.

Didn’t Eunha hear it?

It was better .

Nari Kang entered the guest bedroom, clenching and unclenching her hands.

“Ugh… Hmm…!”

​

​

shaking…

​

A man with massive muscles was lying on the bedroom floor, moaning weakly.

Not only did he threaten himself with a sharp dagger, but he attacked Eunha while she was playing the flute and stabbed her with the dagger.

The guy was breathing heavily, looking horribly like his entire body had been eaten by bugs.

Was he still alive?

Or was it intentionally left to die slowly?

Judging by its appearance, there is no chance of survival, but it is persistent no matter what.

Kang Na-ri’s face distorts.

“… … .”

In the bedroom, two metal safes were neatly placed.

One safe is still tightly closed, the other is wide open.

When I checked the open safe, the ‘Galaxy Potion’ that Kang Na-ri had made in the semi-basement was still there.

​

It looks like this was taken from her house.

Judging by the several empty glass bottles lying around on the floor…

The man who fell to the floor had his entire body eaten by bugs, but he took out a ‘Galaxy Potion’ from the safe and drank it… It seems he was struggling to survive.

Looking around the bedroom, the dark red blades that are presumed to be the man’s ‘skills’ are shattered into pieces.

​

Did I really want to live like that?

Nari Kang approached the man.

​

“Queuugh… Buy, buy…”

​

​

A man swept away by pitch-black bugs.

He appears to be a reasonably skilled hunter, but he is dying from a small bug…

What would have happened if those bugs had targeted him?

Nari Kang blinked at the goosebumps that gripped the back of her neck for a moment and shook her head.

​

​

‘Eunha… isn’t she actually a very strong person? Are there any artifacts like that? ‘Is it the power of the artifact that suddenly appeared?’

​

​

Nari Kang slightly revised her evaluation of Soft Fist Eunha.

She knelt down on one knee at the man’s bedside and looked down at his face.

​

The will to live is reflected in his one and only eye.

​

​

“Save me… Save me…!”

“If I had asked you for it, would you have saved my life?”

“… … .”

​

​

There was no answer back.

That’s enough.

Isn’t this the relationship between a hunter and a villain?

Kang Nari made up her mind and used ‘skill’.

​

​

… … .

​

​

[Ingredient Replacement] Skill.

What touches the left and right hands… A skill that reverses the ingredients.

​

​

Uuuu.

​

Nari Kang’s ‘left hand’ grabbed the head of the man who had fallen on the floor.

​

​

Squeak…

​

Immediately after, something falls from her empty ‘right hand’ and stains the floor.

The attacker who kidnapped her stopped moving like that.

​

​

“Now… I am an accomplice with Eunha.”

​

​

Nari Kang woke up with a relieved heart.

There is a secret with Eunha. She smiled brightly and headed to the safe in the bedroom.

2 iron safes.

One is locked tightly and the other is open.

Ugh.

When her left hand strokes the tightly closed safe, a part of the safe moves to her ‘right hand’ and a large hole opens.

What you see is a thick stack of documents.

It is a document that records the details of transactions with Kang Je-Han of [Cheongryong Family], which contains information about receiving money and handling all kinds of dirty work.

‘Brother… Do you want to go to this extent to become a tycoon like your father?’

can not understand.

I don’t even want to do it.

So, I give up trying to understand.

Nari Kang took the documents she took out of the safe and left the bedroom.

There is only one unnamed body, frozen and frozen in a quiet bedroom.

… … .

… … .

‘The reason why my brother wants Eunha… I’ve always had doubts, but I think I know for sure now.’

Kang Nari thought.

Because the questions that have been raised so far are starting to form an outline.

What is the reason why the forced brother approached Eunha?

What kind of blood is the ‘blood sample’ given by Eunha, and why did it produce results similar to [Galaxy Potion]?

Why did the head of the Hunter Association, who started the transaction this time, take a gentler attitude than expected…

‘Eunha… Was it, of course, Eunha’s blood?’

She came to one conclusion and clenched her fists.

Blood that is dazzlingly clean and free of frightening impurities.

Something that has the ability to make you look younger if you use it as is.

That beautiful thing is the blood of the galaxy.

She has extraordinary ‘recovery skills’.

If you think about it, this is a natural result.

Only Eunha knows the source of the ‘blood’ that has unprecedented healing powers, and every time Kang Na-ri asks for that precious thing, he gives it to her as if she had picked it up off the street.

The [Galaxy Potion], whose raw materials have never been announced, is probably similar to that of the Galaxy… so to speak, made from the blood of a hunter with ‘recovery skills’.

So the head of the Hunter Association also welcomed her warmly.

A potion made from human blood produced such ridiculous results, so who wouldn’t be greedy for it?

Kang Na-ri perfectly understood why she was kidnapped.

And… the galaxy has such things,

The ingredients for the potion that even Kang Do-han, who leads a mid-sized guild, coveted, were placed in Kang Na-ri’s hands.

Excited. Excited.

Kang Na-ri felt an unknown emotion rush over her and walked quickly.

Next to Eunha, who is still sitting on a chair and waiting for him.

​’Thanks to my bodyguard and Eunha… I saw the light in the midst of a mountain of debt. So now it’s my turn to help.’

I strengthened my resolve.

There is someone who believes in you as a debtor.

There is a favor I want to repay.

(……Someone once said that hesitation is hidden among fears… and that determination is born from countless efforts.)

What Eunha said in the park under the setting sun.

Nari Kang smiled brightly as she clenched her hands and opened them, as was her habit.

… … .

This is a world where you have to be in debt to see the light.

It is a world where there is no one to rely on.

‘Eunha… Our Eunha… I guess she has a lot to hide from others, including the bug-inducing artifact… Okay, let’s just say that Eunha wasn’t here today. If Eunha becomes involved with the [Blue Dragon Family], it could become dangerous.’

​

​

But… now, like this.

weak, soft,

It feels like I’m going to collapse at any moment, but…

​

I now have a safe place to lean on.

‘I made a lot of money with Eunha’s potions and became a very famous person… so I’ll give it all to Eunha.’

Kang Nari was happy.

​

​

… … .

​

​

… … .

“Eunha, it would be better to hide yourself before someone comes… Huh? Mr. Eunha? Where did you go?”

And, after a brief cleanup, Kang Na-ri returned to Eunha.

As I looked around the empty, abandoned building, I repeated the name of the invisible galaxy over and over again.

… … .

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

“Then… shall we go home now.”

At that time when Kang Na-ri left to ‘clean up after’,

Eunha, who was sitting on a chair and looking around, muttered with a complicated smile.

Kang Nari was saved.

There are no more threats, and the people from the association called by Ban Harin will also come here as time passes, so it would be okay to leave Kang Na-ri alone for a while.

Above all, he doesn’t have the words to smoothly explain the fact that he returned to ‘Saetbyul Apartment’ and is here.

The work is over, and the only thing left to do is tidy up.

So… let’s run away before anyone sees.

‘Thanks to you, Kang Na-ri is safe too… Since she suddenly appeared, I wouldn’t say anything if she suddenly disappeared.’

Eunha rolled her head, feeling empty in the empty space in the black suitcase she always carried.

If you decide to run away, there is only one problem left.

How do I get back home?

Fortunately, Eunha was a self-reliant reader who read the [Black Book] guidebook every day, and of course she memorized the rules written in the book without making a single mistake.

I carried the [Black Book] with me to check new rules, but I could review the already written rules in my head at any time.

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

1. Donate blood safely.

– Donating blood is a good thing. It is a noble act that saves precious lives.

– However, using the blood donation bus at [Neulpureum Emergency Center] is not recommended.

​

1-1. While walking, you spot the blood donation bus of [Neulpureum Emergency Center] parked on the side of the road.

– Even if you saw it, just pretend not to see it. If we suspect we’ve seen anything, we’ll reach out to you.

​

– If the reaction is delayed and a woman wearing a doctor’s gown is seen getting off the bus. You should immediately close your eyes and turn your back on her.

– And in a low voice, say “Your daughter is waiting.”.

​

– If you hear ‘it’ leaving, it’s a success.

– When the sound of the bus engine disappears, open your eyes.

​

​

※caution! Focus on the sound of the bus’ engine. ※

– Make sure the bus has completely left before you open your eyes. The engine sound should gradually become quieter.

– If the engine sound suddenly disappears, the engine has just been turned off and you should not open your eyes. ​

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

​

​

The worry was short-lived.

The [Blood Donation Bus] always wakes you up in a pile of trash behind a convenience store after your blood is drawn.

After getting the apartment papers, I came to my senses in her bedroom instead of in the trash.

If you think about it, there are several cases where people woke up in a place other than their original place after being attacked by a monster.

Guys like the [Blood Donation Bus] and the old men in the park.

In other words, if you call the [Blood Donation Bus] here and get your blood drawn, doesn’t that mean you can safely return home without being noticed?

It was a round-trip lane, as expected.

Even monsters have probably never seen humans using them as a means of transportation.

In the first place, is there anyone who treats monsters in such a light manner?

Self-deprecating laughter bursts out.

‘okay. I’m sick, so let’s give it a clean reboot. It’s been a while since I stopped donating blood after receiving free gifts.’

Blood dripping from the corner of my mouth and nerve pain felt in the nape of my neck hindering my breathing.

Eunha smiled languidly, thinking that good things are good things.

This person shouldn’t be here.

So let’s disappear.

Let’s go back to where the monsters stay, to where we belong.

It’s for everyone’s happiness.

“Hmm… [Red Woman] came to me when I sang a children’s song, but how should I call the bus…”

Eunha has finished preparing for transfer.

She reviewed the rules for the [Blood Donation Bus] one by one.

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

– If the reaction is delayed and a woman wearing a doctor’s gown is seen getting off the bus. You should immediately close your eyes and turn your back on her.

– And in a low voice, say “Your daughter is waiting.”.

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

“Um… Is your daughter waiting? I am waiting? How should I say it…”

『Did you wait?』

Startle!

A woman’s voice coming from next to me.

Feeling the bitter cold, Eunha was startled and turned her head.

Push…

I once saw… the [Blood Donation Bus] at the ‘Neulpureum Emergency Center’,

It was parked outside an abandoned building, emitting a familiar exhaust sound.

Isn’t it too fast?

『Did you wait?』

A woman in a doctor’s gown got off the bus and approached Eunha.

I met my doctor sister for the first time in a long time after getting my house certificate.

He must have come here in a hurry, so he removes the leaves from his hair and sweeps up his tangled hair.

“… … Why were there leaves in my hair when I came by bus?”

Snap~.

The woman in the doctor’s gown hit Eunha’s large breasts with her palm.

My hands are spicy.

Eunha quietly kept her mouth shut, massaging her numb thigh and licking her lips.

『Would you like to donate blood?』

“… … yes. I will do it.”

Well… Anyway, I succeeded in calling the [Blood Donation Bus], so it doesn’t matter.

Eunha trudged onto the [blood donation bus] with positive thoughts and the support of her doctor sister.

‘That’ looked at the blood-covered Eunha and kept touching the human body as if it was a waste of the blood that flowed out.

『It stings? Stinging?』

like that,

Eunha has never once followed the rules of the [Blood Donation Bus].

With the thought of what is in store for the next free gift,

I closed my heavy eyelids as I celebrated the 11th entry of the steel straw into my carotid artery.

Phew!

Dizzying pain.

I felt arrogant.

Is the cafe okay?

I wonder if Bubble is doing well on her own.

‘I guess I’ll never use this type of transportation again.’

It was a very difficult morning.

… … .
