​

Grow up pure.

… … .

Without staining anything,

Just purely.

Remain a doll-like child.

​

… … .

“Do not approach.”

Do you remember?

One day.

The day I returned home after getting tested at the hospital.

This is what I said as I caught you as you tried to run to the playground.

“Do not approach.”

Children playing happily on the playground.

Children rummage through trash cans like mice and drink dirty muddy water.

Did you want to hang out together?

Don’t approach me.

Because you must be pure.

… … But, if

Because I feel so lonely and lonely,

I will make a doll for you,

“Do not approach.”

These dolls,

They are your friends.

… … .

​

​

In a world that is fading away.

Here we go towards the end.

​

​

I hope you are clean,

​

May it be our dirty wishes.

​

​

… … .

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

“… … I seem to be having a lot of strange dreams these days.”

Refreshing morning.

My back is sore again today.

Eunha rolled around on the soft bed, holding her throbbing head.

I had a strange dream.

I don’t remember it clearly, but it was a very sad and lonely dream.

Thanks to you, it was a very unpleasant morning, but it’s actually good because it makes today feel more enjoyable.

‘Maybe it’s because of the pills I got from [the black person] the other day… I’m taking whatever they give me, but I don’t know exactly what the pills do. Are you getting closer to the monsters?’

A ‘white pill’ given by a [black person] in a place similar to the afterlife.

Considering that it is thrown around without a doctor’s prescription, it might be a simple vitamin.

Eunha, who lifted her spirits with useless thoughts, shook off her drowsiness.

Mulberry bread~ Mulberry bread~.

The alarm sound comes right away.

I feel a small joy in overcoming the wake-up alarm.

Eunha picked up her phone and checked the time.

August 12th.

9 am.

A long-awaited holiday.

It’s already been three days since I made a holiday appointment with Eunbangul.

Eunha rubbed her bleary eyes and brushed up her messy hair.

‘… … Is it already a holiday… You and Bell were supposed to meet at 10 o’clock, right?’

Ah, the holiday arrived in the meantime.

Every day I live with monsters.

I want to leave the apartment quickly.

If you’re with Eunbangul, monsters won’t come near you.

‘good. Nothing will happen today. ‘Let me make it happen.’

Eunha got up from the soft bed and left the bedroom with unsteady steps.

… … .

What comes to mind is lunch a few days ago.

A piece of the cutter knife that was stuck in the gimbap that Eunbangul was trying to eat.

that day,

Eunha returned home hugging her shocked heart,

I immediately checked the cutter knife I purchased at [Happy Convenience Store].

The blade was one step shorter.

Did you have hair loss?

Falling hair, broken blades,

It won’t go back to the way it was.

It’s just a pity.

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

You must use the items you purchase.

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

I forgot to use the box cutter.

Eunha bit her lip as she felt her stomach twist.

“… … .”

A more refreshed mind than usual.

I looked down at my wrist.

Several thin knife marks remain like marks on my wrist.

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

You must use the items you purchase.

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

just in case.

Because something else shouldn’t go into the food that Bell eats.

I have been using the cutter knife I purchased at [Happy Convenience Store] every day for the past few days.

It’s just a wound, but I have the [Self-Healing] skill, so it’s okay.

Just cover the scar with a wrist band until it disappears.

It would be better to think that a huge mosquito had bitten your wrist.

“Is there still time?… I’ll just do it a little bit and then go.”

Drurrruk

Eunha picked up the box cutter she had placed on the living room table.

Tduduk!

I broke one piece of the worn blade.

It became sharper.

Grab a box cutter and head to the bathroom.

『Sloppy. Don’t do anything crazy in front of the mirror.』

“If you don’t like it, stay out. It’s like crap.”

‘Eunha’ reflected in the bathroom mirror is complaining.

Eunha enters the bathroom, rubs the cutter knife with hand sanitizer and takes a deep breath.

“Where then… Please make Baeul happy.”

And, like putting water on a crock pot and praying.

I began to write today’s prayers on a sharp cutter knife.

Nope…

Move the blade.

Don’t get sick. Gently.

“Don’t forget the guide,”

“Don’t wander around alone,”

“So that our bells can return home smiling,”

“I will do my best.”

One wish, one knife mark.

A wish for happiness from the bunny girl.

I don’t know who my wish is for.

I guess I’ll just pray to the [black person].

Nope ㅡ.

It doesn’t hurt.

I already feel like I’m dying of pain because of other monsters, but there’s no need to intentionally increase the pain.

Because of [Happy Convenience Store]’s rule that you must use it unconditionally, you have no choice but to only slightly scratch your skin.

‘Other people might misunderstand it… It’s okay. It’s something I don’t want to worry about.’

What comes to mind is the piece of blade that went into the kimbap.

I gather my shaking heart and move the blade.

I’m not cutting my wrists because I’m mentally exhausted.

It’s something to overcome.

So that Bell doesn’t have to worry anymore. So that everyone can be happy.

‘What is happiness, and who brings it? It depends on one’s mind.’

Move the cutter knife as painlessly as possible, and put a warm wish into the warmly colored cutter knife.

“Good. I did this, but something strange came out when the bells ate it. I go to a convenience store and force the owner to quit smoking.”

Eunha hummed and cracked her wrists.

… … .

… … .

“friend. Where are you going?』

And, some time passes.

9:30.

Eunha washed up properly, packed only the necessary things into her suitcase, and left the house.

While she was leaving the apartment with her suitcase, she made eye contact with [Doll Girl] who was wandering in the 9th floor hallway.

When I encounter a strange creature on a holiday morning, my heart starts pounding rapidly.

It seems that the heart is happy with the appearance of a cute neighbor.

“Hello. Did you change your pajamas? It’s so cute.”

『I like friends.』

“I’ll take it as a compliment.”

Share compliments.

At the same time, I look around the apartment hallway and quickly check to see if the doll has fallen.

Fortunately, the hallway was clean, and I no longer felt the unpleasant smell of salt water.

Eunha looked at the [doll girl] who was toddling closer like a penguin.

Not the hamster pajamas that were soaked with salt water last time,

A girl wearing fluffy white polar bear pajamas.

‘That’ approaches with shining pure eyes and looks up blankly at Eunha’s face.

Purity resides in flawless eyes.

“pain?”

“It hurts at all?… More than that, my sister has to go play with her friend right now.”

『… … .』

“Our mite polar bear will come back in the evening and play to its heart’s content, so can we just skip it for now? Not even a doll fell in the hallway.”

“friend. play?”

[Doll girl] purses her lips like a goldfish at Eunha’s words.

The girl found the wristband on Eunha’s wrist and pouted her lower lip as if she was upset about something.

What is it? I don’t know what the mites are thinking.

Eunha checked the time on her cell phone and waited for ‘that’ action.

Today is the day to play with bells.

There isn’t much time left for the appointment, so I have to go quickly.

Thinking of the blade fragment buried in the gimbap, I refined my future goals.

『… … friend. gift.”

And then.

[Doll girl] blinked nervously and looked at Eunha’s complexion.

He wiggled the soft belly of his polar bear pajamas,

Isn’t it like taking something out of your pajamas while saying it’s a gift?

“A gift?… Are you giving it to me?”

“bath. return courtesy. Cow doll. Mine.』

The uniqueness of knowing how to reciprocate is dazzling.

Eunha, who wanted to pamper [Doll Girl], overcame the impulse for a moment and checked the girl’s gift.

… … .

It was a leather choker.

Made of black leather,

A choker-shaped necklace that fits snugly around the neck.

I don’t know what animal they used for the leather, but it was a very smooth material, and there was a link at the nape of the neck.

Lastly, the bright yellow bell-shaped accessory attached to the front of the choker,

It makes the corners of Eunha’s mouth stiffen.

『Dairy cow doll. Mine.』

“Yes. okay. You’re trying to mark it. Smart.”

Anyway, this is a gift prepared by our cute polar bear.

After giving [Doll Girl] a tight hug, Eunha carefully took the choker and put it on around her neck.

Wow…

It’s small and strangling.

A level where you can breathe but have difficulty eating and speaking.

“Cough…! ah. thanks. Good, gift.”

Eunha, who had suddenly imitated [Doll Girl]’s speaking style, secretly raised the corner of her mouth.

… … It was a relief that the bell attached to the choker did not make a sound.

… … .

“Collok!! Wow, the choker is so pretty. I will use it carefully.”

『Bappa.』

After a while.

After finishing trying on the choker, Eunha took it off her neck and put it on her left wrist like a bracelet.

She waved her dangling choker at the [doll girl], said goodbye, and got into the elevator.

Tiing ㅡ.

A polar bear that stays calm even after Eunha gets on the elevator.

It seems that the purpose is simply to give away the choker.

Even though I still feel uncomfortable because it was a gift from Goeyi himself… Isn’t a good thing a good thing?

Ugh…

So, until the elevator doors close,

Eunha stood up on two feet in the apartment hallway and greeted a fluffy polar bear waving its short front paws.

… … .

… … .

『Dairy cow doll. Going out to play. With my friends.”

And, the child is pure.

Creating pure eyes,

[Doll girl] looking in the direction of the elevator where Eunha disappeared.

The girl is just pure.

I missed my friend leaving.

“me. Follow. friend.”

『Eup… Eup…』

The decision was quick.

Like a sexy cow friend

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

The girl listened to the whimpering coming from downstairs.

I pursed my lips and waddled into the elevator.

I raise my tiptoe as hard as I can and tap the elevator button.

“friend. me too. friend.”

『Eup… Eup…』

『Us too. Let’s go play.』

A whistling sound is heard.

The sound of going to meet a friend.

The sound of ‘those’ footsteps echoes in the quiet ‘Saetbyeol Apartment’,

It was a windy holiday morning.

… … .

… … .

“Hello, Bell. It’s not too late, right?”

“Not at all~! I just came too!”

9:50 am.

Euncheon Park entrance parking lot.

Eunha arrived at the meeting place on time and exchanged greetings with the rabbit girl who came running from afar.

The girl I met outside, not in a cafe, was like sunlight rising in the sky.

The energy overflowing from a bright smile makes Eunha smile.

“Unni is wearing a boxy tee today too… I like it because it looks cool! ”

The bunny girl, smiling energetically, carefully removes the hair from Eunha’s box tee.

People passing by the park entrance. A car running on the road.

Ladies jogging in the park.

Is it because of the chest pushing up the baggy box tee with all its might, or is it due to some other reason?

People passing by look at Eunha standing at the entrance to the park at least once.

Since becoming a D-class hunter, have I received more attention than before?

Eunha raises the corner of her mouth with difficulty and takes out her hunter certificate and places it on her chest.

“Sister. Even if you do that, you won’t be able to see your hunter ID, so let’s put it away before you lose it, right?”

“Okay. I was wrong.”

Either that or not.

Eun-bul looked down at the wrist band on Eun-ha’s left wrist and the leather choker.

As the girl looked at Eunha’s haggard smile today, her pure white rabbit ears drooped out of sadness.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m having a hard time.

All sorts of worries filled her throat, but Eunbangul trusted Eunha and remained silent.

“… If you need anything, let me know anytime. I am always waiting.”

“Huh? Well, yes.”

“Yes! great! Now that we’ve chatted, let’s get started! Let’s go exploring Euncheon-gu with Eunha, just the two of us~!”

Eventually, Eunbangul, who hides her worried heart in a strong shout and regains her bright smile, gently massages Eunha’s shoulders.

“He said he bought a swimsuit at a department store.”

“I thought about it, and it was obvious that if Eunha was there, it would be okay to choose Mule. Later, Harin and I will choose together.”

“What is my doctor?”

“I wonder if there is a need to ask the opinion of someone who has nothing to do with anything.”

Jjuwap.

Eunha grabbed the obnoxious rabbit’s ears and gently pulled them.

… … .

That’s how the tour of Euncheon-gu with Eunbangul began.

There is no need for a grand event because it is a promise to rest alone on the holiday.

Eunha clutched the handle of her suitcase tightly and hid her anxiety.

‘Exploring Euncheon-gu… will be okay… right?’

Blood donation buses, convenience stores, parks, restaurants, claw machines, taxis, etc…

I’m already feeling dizzy, but if I stay close to Eunbangul, who doesn’t recognize the ‘weird thing’, I’ll be able to pass without any trouble.

I thought positively.

Didn’t they also ‘use’ a cutter knife to prevent Bang Bang from getting hurt?

‘No matter whether it’s a monster or a person, we must not let it touch Bangul… Let’s do our best.’

like that,

Eunha joined Baeul-i in front of Euncheon Park,

I walked around Euncheon-gu with a girl who put her arms around me as if it was natural.

Drurrruk

The sound of carrier wheels.

The bright yellow bell-shaped accessory of the leather choker strapped to her wrist swayed back and forth.

… … .

… … .

“Eunbangul and Eunha make contact at the park entrance. Keep track. ‘Mouse’, please wait in your seat.”

– Didn’t that rabbit boss wait for you since 7 a.m.? Wouldn’t that be madness?

… … .

… … .

“Guild leader Johan. That bitch is moving… Yes… Yes, there is one woman who appears to be in the group, with tits bigger than her head… Yes. There will be someone guarding it… I understand. I will pursue it like this.”

A little bit of commotion is expected.

A day begins where everyone is unhappy.
