​

Grow up pure.

​

​

… … .

​

​

Without staining anything,

Just purely. ​

​

Remain a doll-like child.

​

​

… … .

… … .

​

I made a friend.

​

“Do not approach.”

​

​

I remember.

​

One day.

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

​

Those were the words you said as you caught the girl who was trying 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.

The girl wanted to hang out and play with them.

But no.

They will come across as ‘pollution’ to the innocent girl.

This is a world overflowing with filth.

A city teeming with pitch-black mice.

Here, ‘purity’ was something that needed to be protected,

The girl was the only innocence left in this city.

“Do not approach.”

​

​

At your call,

The girl stopped walking.

At the same time, the children playing on the playground look back at the girl.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Dirty kids.

They looked down at themselves covered in muddy water,

Running away from the playground to avoid the innocent girl.

“… … Yes.”

The girl who was looking at the playground turns her head.

And, the girl who looked up at you with pure eyes,

I slowly turn around and return home.

“Do not approach.”

“Yes…”

Children rolling around on the dirt floor at the playground.

A girl whose only advantage is untainted innocence.

“… … Yes…”

​

​

But, I guess,

Feeling so lonely and lonely,

I guess I couldn’t hide it.

… … .

… … .

“I brought a friend.”

The day after going to the hospital,

You made a doll for a girl.

A stuffed toy that was sloppily patched together like rags.

It’s a very tacky and childish toy.

“… … Friend?”

“… … .”

The question: What is a friend?

You kept your mouth shut.

Because a girl must be pure.

Purity was a sparkle born of ignorance,

The girl who was more pure than anyone else was a child who could not speak properly.

Those who believe that only purity defeats impurity,

An unspoiled doll.

You held out the plush toy to the girl.

“You must be pure.”

“… … Friend.”

but,

Why?

“Friend…”

At that time,

A girl who was pure thanks to you.

It’s not the stuffed toy I was given…

I stayed up all night trying to clumsily make a plush toy.

He only looked at your fingers, which were covered in bandages.

Why?

… … .

​

​

“I brought a doll.”

“Friend!”

After that day,

You made dolls whenever you had time.

Little by little, I became good at sewing, which I was bad at.

After a year, I was able to make a neat doll without any stitch marks.

And, the completed doll is handed over to the ‘pure girl’.

“Friend. this. Good.”

A pure girl’s room.

An unspoiled room with nothing in it.

But now it’s all fluffy with dolls of all colors.

“Friend. Good.”

However, the girl seems to like the stuffed toy she was given as a gift at first.

He won’t let go of his tattered, shabby teddy bear.

“Is that good?”

“Yes.”

Poor answer.

Afterwards, you deliberately created a sloppy doll.

The innocent girl became a little happier.

… … .

​

This is a black world.

A city sinking from filth that seethes like mice.

“… … If you need dolls, I’ll make as many as I can.”

“Yes!”

“It’s a secret from other adults.”

In a world that is fading away.

Here we go towards the end.

Once upon a time, like a fairy tale about a soldier doll defeating the Mouse King.

I hope that the clumsily made stuffed toy will be the girl’s salvation.

“So, these dolls are your friends.”

​

I hope that only you are clean,

​

May it be our dirty wishes.

​

… … .

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

‘Ha… I failed. I was so happy I couldn’t look around.’

Even though it was afternoon, the weather was hot and muggy.

Wriggling her throbbing legs from walking around Euncheon-gu all day, Eunbangul looked up at the sky with blurry eyes.

The central bench of [Euncheon Park].

A place where a large blue dragon sculpture was built.

He lies down on the dirty dirt floor and puts pressure on his bleeding side.

As I helplessly turn my head, I see an iron ball rolling on the floor.

A fist-sized lump of metal. It is covered in sticky blood and pieces of internal organs, reminding me of the pain I just experienced.

The bleeding has stopped thanks to the potion Eunha took out of the carrier, but the pain hasn’t gone away yet and the amount of blood loss has already been considerable, so she can’t move right now.

Even if just one arrow lands wrongly, a person will suffer in pain and die from excessive bleeding.

The distant pain from when her side was pierced wanders through Eunbangul’s mind.

Still, the wound healed instantly, probably because I used a pretty good potion, and there was no more pain.

Is this the ‘Ungang Potion’ that Kang Na-ri started dealing with with the association?

‘It was a long-awaited date with Eunha… Just like in [Blue Dragon Department Store], it didn’t end well.’

Did I act too much like an ordinary person with no skills?

Eunbangul reprimanded her complacency and looked at the attacker who had blown a hole in her side.

“You look happy. I think someone is going to die.”​

An ecological park created by the [Blue Dragon Guild] and occupying a fairly large area in Euncheon-gu.

And, a young man with blue hair appeared from behind the lush trees of Euncheon Park.

I remember.

He is Kang Na-ri’s older brother.

The name was… Kang, was it Kang Kang-han?

anyway. The guild leader who runs the ‘Red Dragon Guild’, a counterfeit of the [Blue Dragon Guild].

I thought I was blown away by a car explosion last time, but the lifeline was surprisingly long.

… … At that time, when Kang Do-han’s sports car exploded.

Maybe they should have put the ‘photo’ inside Kang Yoo-han’s clothes.

Crackling ㅡ.

Kang Je-han, who was looking at Eunbang-ul with bloodshot eyes, slowly walks over.

The moment he vigorously swings his right arm, which was severed in front of the elbow, a fist-sized iron ball is created in front of his eyes.

Is this a ‘skill’ that creates steel?

It looks like he used that to protect himself from a car explosion.

Kang Je-han, holding a steel ball with his left hand like a baseball player, approaches Eunha, waving his severed elbow proudly.

“Rare Hunter Galaxy. You follow me. Kang Na-ri left the semi-basement area and is now living in that bitch’s house. Let’s go say hello together.”

Sudden attack.

Seeing that there are no people in the park, it looks like someone was there.

I guess they said that a monster leaked out from somewhere and hid in [Euncheon Park] and did not control the surrounding area.

I don’t know why on such a good day, my happy holiday with Eunha had to be attacked.

… … is not it.

It must have been an attack because it was sudden, right?

Because of the pain and bleeding, all kinds of random thoughts come to mind.

‘I have to protect my sister… Where is that woman I’m in love with and what is she doing? Are you letting a guy like that approach Eunha? ‘Association Pushuo?’

Eunbangul glared at the rooftop of a building near the park.

A little while ago, a small explosion was heard in the building.

It wasn’t a very loud sound, but the flying debris of the building fell down loudly.

Is there an attack over there too…

As in the case of [Cheorwon Crack Market], the so-called secret department is often attacked.

Eunbangul, who has discredited Ban Harin, looks at the photos he has in his pocket.

Why does Ban Harin monitor the galaxy alone?

Until a few months ago, there were three or four people at a time, and they would immediately chase away suspicious people.

‘Why do you work like that? That’s why Eunha is having a hard time these days.’

Throbbing!

As the fever rises, my side throbs.

Eunbangul lay down on the dirt floor and took a deep breath.

Sudden attack. The side with a hole in the iron ball.

Ban Harin looks very busy.

Ganggyo Hangwa slowly approaches,

Eunha looks at the side of Eunbul, where the potion was sprinkled.

Rolling around on the floor with a bloody iron ball,

A rabbit doll that Eunha chose through a ‘doll drawing’.

… Isn’t this quite a crisis?

The opponent will be at least a B-level hunter,

This is a wounded rabbit… and a soft coffee milk that can’t even do push-ups without ‘body strengthening’.

Eunbangul fiddled with the photo in her pocket.

‘Unnie Eunha… I will protect her. I will protect you even if I die.’

The decision was quick.

The girl pricked her white rabbit ears and grabbed the photo in her pocket to protect the galaxy.

“Bulul. Close your eyes.”

… … but,

Why?

The heart of silver bells that has made up its mind,

At one word from Eunha, it melted like cotton candy and stopped moving.

A cold but warm voice.

Eunbangul looked up at Eunha, who stood up as if to protect herself.

Eunha’s face could not be seen because it was hidden by her large breasts, but

He will be smiling languidly as always.

Even when I’m sad or angry,

Because he is a person who always smiles and lives like a doll.

“The guy who was protecting you is just like that bitch by now…”

“There’s no one around, right?”

To hide the pain,

A pure, flawless smile.

Eunbangul liked the purity of the galaxy.

Did you know that if you keep a smiling face you won’t worry?

Really, strangely pure and naive,

He’s a stupid person.

“Okay. Thanks to this, I was kicked out of the family. But it doesn’t matter…”

“You look happy… I think someone is going to die.”

​

​

Snap ㅡ.

​

Eunha, who revealed pure emotions,

I took off the choker I was wearing on my left hand and wrapped it around my neck.

… … .

It is a leather choker made of smooth material.

I don’t know what kind of animal skin it was made from, but it looks quite expensive.

There is a bright yellow bell-shaped accessory attached to the front of the choker.

A choker that Eunbangul has never seen before.

I don’t know who gave it to me, but it goes really well with Eunha.

“Choke… you. Alone?”

Is the choker small?

He coughs as if he is strangled.

“Ha. what. Did you put the leash on yourself? You are now in full bloom of life. Because the heir of the [Blue Dragon Family] has caught his eye.”

“Are you…alone?”

With a narrowed throat,

sporadically,

spitting out words,

Eunha’s voice.

It seems different today.

‘Eunha sister?’

A dizzying cold that seemed not to belong to this world.

Eunbangul’s shoulders trembled as a chill rose along her back.

Are you getting angry?

The girl perked up her rabbit ears as she saw Eunha for the first time.

“… … [Euncheon Park] is now under the control of our Red Dragon Guild. Because we received information about the villain’s sighting.”

Is it because he is being sarcastic, or is he intimidated by the strange atmosphere that Eunha feels?

Kang Je-han acted with the friendly tone he had shown before.

‘Kang Nari’s older brother’ looks at the rabbit girl who has fallen on the dirt with pitiful eyes and sweeps up her blue hair.

“They said he was a vicious bomber. It looks like the crime was aimed at me… From what I heard, the incident that occurred at [Cheongryong Department Store] a few months ago also hasn’t caught the culprit yet.”

“Evidence. Available?”

“Of course not… But, even if there is no evidence, a body will be found today. The ‘villain’ hiding in the park is planning to kill the civilians who couldn’t evacuate and run away… Isn’t that really sad?”

The words continue.

Without even understanding the situation going on.

“In addition, the ‘rare hunters’ who were lucky enough to survive will be protected by our [Red Dragon Guild].”

“Cough…”

“So, even if you make that scary face… no one will come to save you. D grade trash cow bitch.”

Ganggyohan changed to an honorific.

Eunha is strangled by a choker and automatically speaks informally.

The explanation was long, but in any case, does this mean that he came to the park alone?

“… It’s just because of you. As long as you disappear, it will be okay.”

Eunha said, adjusting her choker with a yellow bell on it.

Like a doll, without any accent, with pure resentment.

He comes forward as if to protect the wounded Eunbangul.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Strange footsteps were heard.

Eunha glanced down at Eunbang.

“It’s okay.”

A rabbit girl collapsed on the dirt floor.

That image will one day,

It reminds me of a stuffed toy that fell in the apartment hallway.

Unbearable emotions rise up my throat.

“friend. help?”

The voice of a ‘girl’ suddenly mixed up,

I nodded cautiously.

… … .

Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

The first person to notice something strange was Kang Je-han.

Suddenly, Eunha, wearing a choker around her neck, started making strange noises.

The footsteps of ‘something’ were heard behind him.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

A trivial sound that can be heard from babies’ shoes.

However, [Euncheon Park] is currently blocked by Kang Do-han’s guild in the name of ‘exterminating villains.’

There is no reason to hear footsteps like that.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

But behind his back.

As if expanding the siege, the sound of insignificant footsteps spread widely and began to approach as if surrounding him.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

A slow, dark, eerie sound.

The sound of a grown adult struggling to walk with twisted limbs.

It’s as if they were trying to prevent Kang Do-han from running away from Eunha.

It approaches slowly, as if hunting.

“… What is it?”

“Friends.』

Eunha answered.

With pure emotions.

『We, friends.』

“… … you. What did you do?”

『But, you are not a friend.』

Bleak!

Soon, the owner of the footsteps appeared.

『Eup… Eup…』

It’s a plush toy.

Adult-sized, rag-like, patched together,

Stuffed toys in the form of animal masks.

Sticky blood flows out from between the loosely woven pieces of cloth, and long iron cores are stuck in the buttonholes that replace the eyes.

The round front paws have human fingers attached to them, and they are holding large needles and pieces of cloth.

“What is it? That…”

It’s not a monster. Is it a person?

I hope it’s not a person.

Monsters beyond understanding.

Kang Je-han, who noticed the ‘stuffed doll’ approaching as if surrounding him, lost the iron ball he was holding in his left hand.

Left hand twitching as if in fear.

Startled, he stepped forward to get away from ‘those’.

However, in front of him is Eunha with a leather choker around her neck, and Kang Do-han swallows his breath without realizing it and takes a step back.

“… What is this?”

“Our friend. You touched it.』

can not understand.

As the eldest son of the [Blue Dragon Family] and the guild leader of the ‘Red Dragon Guild’.

I have never heard of such a horrible creature.

Is this a ‘skill’ of the rare Hunter Eunha?

Or is that leather choker an ‘artifact’?

‘hallucination? Yeah, it doesn’t make sense unless it’s a hallucination. Unless it’s a hallucination…’

A monster that deviates from the ways of the world.

Kang Je-han started kidnapping Kang Na-ri and cursed the future as it progressed to the worst without any success.

‘Why, why does it keep not going as planned…!’

Nod!

Feeling his life threatened, Kang Do-han used ‘skill’.

The piece of iron held in the left hand is sharpened and made into a heavy dagger.

The target is Eunha.

If he kills that woman, the ‘stuffed toys’ coming from behind him will disappear.

It has to be that way.

Now, the fact that Eunha is a ‘rare hunter’ or that he came for the purpose of capturing her alive has become a no-brainer.

Taang!

He threw away the steel dagger created with ‘skill’.

The dagger flew away with a sharp sound, piercing the defenseless chest of Eunha.

Of course.

This is not an attack that a D-class hunter can avoid.

Sigh!

A dagger piercing Eunha’s chest.

It splits the skin, shatters the ribs and lungs, pierces right through the heart and shoots out the other side,

As the blood pours out, the eyes of the silver drop lying on the floor widen…

『… … ouch.”

And then, a few seconds later.

Eunha pursed her lips as she poked her recovered heart with her finger.

『Oh… heart. It’s my first time touching it.』

“… … Crazy monster bitch.”

As if nothing had happened, over my pounding heart,

Ribs and flesh fill the hole.

The blood that spurted out made Eunha’s clothes bloody, but she did not collapse.

‘What is that… recovery skill? Recovery should be normal, what is this…’

can not understand.

Can you kill that woman?

Kang Je-han felt fear.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

The footsteps of ‘stuffed toys’ heard from behind.

In front of you is a monster that won’t die even if you break its heart.

“… … I… I am [Blue Dragon Family]? Can you handle it?”

What finally came out of his mouth was,

That’s what it said.

Eunha adjusted her leather choker.

“Eunha unnie…”

『Cough… It’s okay.』

[Euncheon Park] in the afternoon.

Not feeling like people are popular,

thud! Okay!

Occasionally, sounds of fighting can be heard outside the park,

It was a happy holiday until just a few minutes ago.

『Dolls are just artifact abilities.』

“… … .”

『It’ll be over soon… Let’s be happy again.』

Eunha and Kang Do-han hastily use their ‘skill’ with a scared face.

He looked at the ‘stuffed dolls’ approaching awkwardly from behind him…

I slowly turned my head.

『… … .』

What you see.

Quiet Euncheon Park.

An ecological park with a large site, led by the [Blue Dragon Guild].

『… … .』

Wooden benches installed in a circle…

Located in the center of the park,

I quietly look up at the meticulously carved blue dragon statue.

『… … friend.”

The statue of a coiled blue dragon is carved out of hard metal.

It has a head, a body, arms and legs.

Could that be a doll too?

Think carefully.

(So, these dolls are your friends.)

『A big friend… was here.』

Collock.

Words coming out intermittently as I was strangled by a choker.

Eunha endured the pain that pierced her heart and staggered towards the statue.

I wanted to see it at least once.

In a world where there are monsters and skills, are there any living dragons?

widely…

like that,

Eunha walked slowly and touched the blue dragon statue.

Druddudd…

The statue that was wrapped in a coil.

It started moving slowly.

Maybe he is a suitable partner for Kang Je-han.

“… … Fuck you.”

『Yes, Blue Dragon. It was awesome.』

Kwaaaang!!!

A blue dragon made of metal rushed towards Kang Ja-han.
